"You all come at me together!"
Xiao Yi, with one arm around Lin Bingxin, wore a cold and disdainful expression as he stared down Nantian Bao and the others.
Merely moments before, Jin Ming, who had been confidently swearing by the protection of Elder Tiangang and thus was fearless, had now turned into a cold corpse.
Elder Tiangang and the others exchanged glances.
All saw the shock and astonishment in each other's eyes.
Even though each of their cultivations was not weak, and they had been confident before that they would be able to slay Xiao Yi within the Chaotic Sea, they had now witnessed Xiao Yi kill Elder Tianbao and, even under the strict guard of Elder Tiangang, silently slay Jin Ming.
Such movement techniques and power.
Had completely intimidated them.
They looked at each other in dismay.
Their faces gradually becoming solemn.
Elder Tiangang exhaled a heavy breath, his body shimmering with silver light, looking like a war god forged out of silver he spoke coldly, "It seems we have all underestimated you. It's only been a month or so since the battle at Yunmeng Marsh, and yet your strength has improved so much."
Nantian Bao forced a smile and sighed, "If I had known this earlier, I would not have heeded the Changsheng Sect's instigation... But now that the die is cast, only one side between us can live. As the new commander of the Nan Tian Imperial Guards, I'm not planning to step down so soon, so it will have to be you who dies!"
Li Yaofeng crossed his arms, his fingers lightly tapping on his elbow, his seemingly gentle voice tinged with extreme killing intent, "I am truly looking forward to the moment when I trample you underfoot, and use the Soul Searching Technique to excavate all the secrets in your mind."
The Soul Searching Skill.
This was one of the four great Spiritual Secret Skills most revered by those in the Spiritual Nirvana.
Li Yaofeng had established monumental merits for the Nantian holy land with this Soul Searching Skill, gaining countless secrets.
Judging by the strength Xiao Yi had shown.
Li Yaofeng was confident in deducing that the secrets hidden within Xiao Yi were surely more astonishing and precious than any he had ever acquired before!
Watching each one eying him like tigers stalking their prey, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth slightly curled upwards. He had inherited the Eternal Heaven Tomb and had become the new Heaven Suppressing God General.
Heaven Suppressing God General!
With the tomb as his body and the soul as the stele, he commanded heaven and earth; nothing was impossible!
Within his Eternal Heaven Tomb...
Even Martial God Zhao Wuji, who once dominated the Qingtian Realm and shattered the Azure Heaven Continent, was suppressed within his grave.
These were just mere Earth Venerates!
Thinking of killing him?
Thinking of suppressing and sealing him?
Thinking of seizing his secrets?
Wasn't this courting death?
"Bing Xin, who do you want me to kill first?" Xiao Yi asked with a smirk, turning to the girl in his arms.
Lin Bingxin, startled at first, then furrowed her brows and pointed at Nantian Bao, "Kill him first! The Huang Family has the largest death toll at his hands..."
Xiao Yi responded with an 'oh' and looked towards Nantian Bao, "So you're the commander of the Nan Tian Imperial Guards, eh? The previous commander just died not long ago; who would've thought it was already time for a replacement..."
Nantian Bao paused, then realizing what had been implied, his face showed a trace of anger as he sneered, "Xiao Yi, do you think you're King Yama, deciding who lives and dies? I, Nantian Bao, did not gain this position of commander as a mere figurehead..."
Huang Tianfang watched Xiao Yi confront Nantian Bao. Excitement lit up his face as he shouted to Huang Feihu and the others, "Look, Dad... Brother Xiao Yi is taking action for me against that bastard. He really does care about me..."
Huang Feihu didn't utter a word, just deftly took off his socks and tossed them to the two beside him with a dark face, "Stuff it in their mouths!"
The two men, one on each side, restrained Huang Tianfang.
Those socks, exuding a strong stench of salted fish, were forcefully stuffed into Huang Tianfang's mouth.
Watching Huang Tianfang's muffled cries, Huang Feihu secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Good thing I acted quickly... Otherwise, if Lord Zhenguo had heard that, what would I have done if, in his rage, he didn't avenge my Huang Family?"
Facing the self-assured Nantian Bao, Xiao Yi urged impatiently, "Nantian Bao, you take the first move! If you can force me back even half a step within three moves, I'll spare your life. But if you wait for me to make the first move, then you won't have any chance at all..."
"Xiao Yi, you're too dismissive of others!"
"We are all strong practitioners of the Earth Venerate Realm. With just your strength, do you really think you can challenge us? This is like a mayfly shaking a tree, way over your head..." Several of them rebuked with flushed faces and burning ears.
Xiao Yi raised one finger, pointing it at each of them in turn, then casually shook the upheld finger, "Killing you is like slaughtering pigs and dogs! You people are not even qualified to call me a mayfly..."
The three exchanged glances and then, several streaks of cold light shot towards the heavens.
They attacked from three different directions simultaneously.
On the left side was Elder Tiangang, his body swirling with starlight and dots of silver radiance, coalescing into a massive silver beast. The beast roared skywards as it galloped towards Xiao Yi, the thunderous sounds deafening.
On the right was Li Yaofeng.
Coming from the Sacred Land of Nantian, he was proficient in the path of Spiritual Nirvana.
His spiritual power was as vast as the ocean.
With the flow of his spiritual power, he manipulated countless sharp swords, each flying up into the sky, easily a thousand longswords floating and bobbing in the void. In an instant, these sharp swords exhaled gusts of wind as they passed, scattering the clouds for thousands of miles.
Countless sword blades danced in the void, then converged in front of Xiao Yi, forming a sky-shocking giant sword.
The edge of the sword carried the force capable of slashing the heavens and shattering the earth.
It fell towards Xiao Yi's head with a swoosh.
Directly in front of him charging towards Xiao Yi was none other than Nantian Bao, behind whom spread a pair of blood-red wings, woven from countless threads of blood. Contained within them was an intense, scorching heat, with every beat of the wings, a rain of heavenly fire descended.
Heavenly fire plummeted down like a meteor shower.
As the heavenly fire hit the ground, the island shook violently, cracking open with fissures and countless pits still burning fiercely.
The power of this heavenly fire was immense!
Nantian Bao, wrapped in flames, stood like a god within fire, his hands exhaling dragons of fierce flame.
Dozens of columns of fire burst towards the sky.
Flame pillars surrounded Nantian Bao, as a fiery longsword cleaved down towards Xiao Yi's head.
Faced with the assault of three formidable opponents.
Xiao Yi remained as calm as the breeze, one arm around Lin Bingxin's waist, the other hand holding a sword, his cold laugh echoing as the longsword swept through everything...
