Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 85 - 84: Full Combat Power

"White..." Black Impermanence came to the side of White Impermanence’s corpse, his face filled with shock.

He had never imagined that his old partner would be killed after just a few exchanges.

"Don’t be careless anymore. This Yi Xiao is very strong, truly worthy of being called a genius Demon Hunter," Black Impermanence said coldly, staring at Xiao Yi.

Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect also looked on coldly, "Kid, I admit you are strong. But don’t think that just because you killed White Impermanence, you can escape from us. We were just a bit careless."

"Yi Xiao, you will definitely die today."

The three of them shouted coldly and made their move again.

This time, they were not careless.

They did not split up but joined forces.

Black Impermanence and Heavenly Defect unleashed the Ghost Vine and Cold Ice Iron Chain again.

Earth Defect was waiting for the right moment to strike.

Whoosh, Xiao Yi’s figure disappeared again.

Since he dared to leave the city knowing well about the two tea guests being assassins, he was obviously confident.

He knew the extent of his ability.

At that moment, Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Black Impermanence, while controlling their Martial Souls, waved their hands and shouted, "Spiritual Energy Restriction."

Instantly, the spiritual energy within a hundred meters radius surged wildly, confining that small area.

Xiao Yi, who had been moving quickly, suddenly halted and revealed his figure.

"There! Ghost Vine, Cold Ice Iron Chain, bind him," shouted Earth Defect.

However, Xiao Yi shook his body disdainfully, easily shattering the Spiritual Energy Restriction and then his body swiftly moved, disappearing from the spot.

The Ghost Vines and Cold Ice Iron Chains missed again.

"Damn it, this kid was able to forcibly break free from the Cold Ice Iron Chains before, and the Spiritual Energy Restriction cannot contain him," cursed Earth Defect.

Half-step Cave Profound, after all, was not true Mysterious Profundity Realm; they were only initially able to control the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.

The restrictions they imposed was only effective against martial artists below Innate Eighth Layer; any Ninth Layer martial artist could easily break through, let alone Xiao Yi.

Half-step Cave Profound’s real strength lies in their True Qi within their bodies far exceeding those of the Innate Ninth Layer, and naturally, their strength was stronger.

But now, Xiao Yi, relying solely on the True Qi within his body, coupled with Rising Dragon, already possessed the battle power of the Innate Ninth Layer.

If combined with a Spiritual Artifact, his strength had long reached Half-step Cave Profound, even somewhat stronger.

In one-on-one combat, he was more formidable than any of Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, or Black and White Impermanence.

However, facing the combined force of four people, he was at a disadvantage.

But do not forget, he also had the Xingyi Five Extremes.

Also being Half-step Cave Profound, Xiao Yi’s speed using the Leopard Form was unmatched by these four.

To deal with these four, he didn’t need to use many of his trump cards to easily defeat them.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Xiao Yi moved swiftly, his steps creating sounds of breaking the sky.

"Hmph," Heavenly Defect snorted coldly, "Yi Xiao, you only have such strength because of the Spiritual Artifact."

Earth Defect sneered, "In terms of true Cultivation, you are not our match. As long as we bind you, you will undoubtedly die."

"Yi Xiao, let’s see how you dodge this move."

Black Impermanence waved his hand and shouted coldly, "City of Thorns."

In an instant, Ghost Vines covered tens of meters around.

Whoosh, whoosh, Xiao Yi immediately retreated tens of meters away, also stopped moving quickly, revealing his figure.

"Martial Technique?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows; that allowed the Ghost Vine to instantly cover such a large area, clearly a martial technique, and seemingly not of a low rank, at least a Xuan Rank Martial Technique.

"It seems a bit troublesome," Xiao Yi thought secretly.

Then, Heavenly Defect and Black Impermanence attacked again.

"City of Thorns."

"Do you think the same move will work on me?" Xiao Yi sneered coldly, planning to retreat and dodge.

However, Heavenly Defect also waved his hand at the same time, shouting, "Heavenly Net and Earth Webb."

Suddenly, numerous Cold Ice Iron Chains appeared out of nowhere, completely blocking Xiao Yi’s path of retreat.

"Another Martial Technique?" Xiao Yi frowned.

Assassins from Shadow Tower indeed were not simple opponents.

"Kid, you can’t dodge this time." Earth Defect immediately attacked, his foot sweeping horizontally, "Great Black Wind Slash."

"Powerful," Xiao Yi exclaimed in surprise; he obviously felt the pressure from Earth Defect’s kick.

This was the difference between martial artists from great powers and ordinary martial artists.

Ordinary martial artists, lacking martial techniques, have much weaker combat power.

Martial artists from great powers, each possessed martial techniques, and not of a low rank, with very strong combat power.

As for the martial techniques of Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Black Impermanence, any move was at the Xuan Rank, with the Great Black Wind Slash even being a middle Xuan Rank.

A massive black wind slash appeared out of nowhere and cleaved towards Xiao Yi at great speed.

"Fire Devouring Hundred Blades," Xiao Yi shouted loudly, releasing eighty blades of fire.

Boom... Boom... Boom...

The eighty blades of fire kept colliding until they finally dissipated together.

Though the Great Black Wind Slash also dissipated, numerous Ghost Vines and Cold Ice Iron Chains hadn’t stayed idle, rapidly entangling towards Xiao Yi.

"Fire Devouring Hundred Blades," Xiao Yi quickly retaliated with fire blades again.

The Ghost Vines were instantly shattered by the flames and explosions, and the Cold Ice Iron Chains were repelled.

At that moment, the Great Black Wind Slash cleaved towards him again.

"Damn it," Xiao Yi cursed silently, "All three using martial techniques, one after another, extremely troublesome. If I fail to block one of their attacks, either I’ll get bound or hit; either way, I’ll end up in a highly troublesome situation."

"Looks like we need to make it a quick battle," Xiao Yi decided inwardly.

"Fire Devouring Hundred Blades."

Again, eighty Fire Blades were launched.

"Yi Xiao, the same move again?" Black Impermanence sneered.

"If this goes on, he will definitely become flustered, and if he fails to block even one move, he’s surely dead," Heavenly Defect said with confidence.

However, Earth Defect unleashed a Great Black Wind Slash to block the Fire Blades.

Indeed, the Fire Blades and the Great Black Wind Slash dissipated at the same time.

Just when Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Black Impermanence were filled with self-assured expressions, suddenly, a dozen Fire Blades traced an arc in the air, turning to strike them.

"Hmph, you dare show off such petty tricks in front of us?"

"Eighty Fire Blades couldn’t even handle us, let alone a mere dozen."

"Ha, I don’t even need to use a Martial Technique; I could smash them with a slap."

The three spoke disdainfully, but a second later, their scorn turned into horror.

As the dozen Fire Blades were about to hit them, they suddenly fused into one, forming an even larger flame.

"No good, it’s Technique Fusion, dodge quickly!" The trio was greatly alarmed.

However, by the time they realized, it was already too late.

With a booming explosion, the flames completely engulfed the three of them.

Xiao Yi’s cultivation over the past months wasn’t just about travel; he had also been honing his strength in countless battles.

Fusing Martial Techniques was the most time-consuming part. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Fusing Martial Techniques is difficult; no one had succeeded before, nor dared to try it, as the consequences of a power surge from failure could be severe.

Back in the lair of the Bloodthirsty Profound Monarch, he fused fifty Fire Blades, but it was extremely unstable and ended up exploding in front of him, sweeping through the entire cave. If it weren’t for the Ghost Mask saving his life, he would have died.

But, having tried once, he gained experience.

Afterwards, during his trials, he tried fusing two blades, three blades, four, Martial Arts...

Until now, he could fuse ten blades, and even control them from a distance as easily as moving his arms; not only was it stable, but he could also control them remotely.

The power of fusing Fire Blades was not as simple as one plus one.

Releasing two Fire Blades simultaneously and fusing two Fire Blades into one are clearly not on the same level of attack.

The power must be one plus one equals ten.

A huge Fire Blade formed from two fused Fire Blades had the power equivalent to ten scattered Fire Blades being released.

Now, a huge Fire Blade formed from ten fused Fire Blades had the power equivalent to launching a hundred Fire Blades simultaneously, equivalent to the Great Achieved stage of Fire Devouring Hundred Blades.

Although Fire Devouring Hundred Blades is a low-level Xuan Rank, the flames are of the green Martial Soul level and, with the amplification of a Spiritual Artifact, the power approaches that of a high-level Xuan Rank.

The trio of Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Black Impermanence, being merely Yellow Martial Souls with mid-level Xuan Rank Martial Techniques, were far inferior to Xiao Yi’s attacks.

Cultivation, Martial Techniques, Martial Soul Rank, etc., are all factors that determine the strength of a Martial Artist.

To return to the main point, the explosion of flames swallowed up the trio of Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Black Impermanence.

Seconds later, the three jumped out of the explosion, their faces a mess, spitting fresh blood, clearly having sustained serious injuries.

"Damn it, is this Yi Xiao a freak, to be able to fuse Martial Techniques?" Heavenly Defect cursed bitterly.

"A genius Demon Hunter, truly lives up to his reputation." Black Impermanence gnashed his teeth in the dark, feeling unsure about the mission to kill Yi Xiao for the first time.

On the other hand, Xiao Yi coldly stared at them, muttering to himself, "Seems like, ten Fire Blades fused can’t kill you; let’s try twenty."

As soon as his words fell, his voice disappeared again.

"What is that kid trying to do?" The trio of Heavenly Defect and Earth Defect became cautious, not daring to be careless.

Whoosh, Xiao Yi suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Ah?" The trio was initially startled, then delighted.

"Kid, you dare to show yourself in front of us three? You’re seeking death."

They had been trying all means to trap Xiao Yi, precisely to confront Xiao Yi in a head-on battle, as this would increase their chances of winning.

After all, the three were now together, not scattered. If they joined hands and fought Xiao Yi in close combat, and still couldn’t overcome him, then other methods would be useless.

The three attacked simultaneously; Ghost Vine and Cold Ice Iron Chain were wielded like fierce whips.

Earth Defect’s Black Wind Blood Scythe also created a heavy blade shadow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Xiao Yi’s steps kept dodging, like a Spiritual Snake.

The dense attacks were narrowly dodged by him.

"How is this possible, such strange movement techniques?" The trio was taken aback.

In their eyes, Xiao Yi’s figure kept changing, sometimes like a flaming leopard, sometimes like a nimble fire snake.

Whoosh, as Xiao Yi approached them, twenty Fire Blades appeared out of nowhere.

"Merge," Xiao Yi shouted loudly.

"Another Technique Fusion, damn it, dodge quickly!" The trio’s faces changed drastically.

Xiao Yi couldn’t remotely control the twenty Fire Blades and could only release them at close range.

A huge Fire Blade was formed, but it was extremely unstable and exploded instantly.

The trio of Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Black Impermanence couldn’t dodge in time and were once again engulfed by the explosion.

As Xiao Yi released the Fire Blades, he immediately retreated, but was still affected by the aftermath of the explosion.

"Pfft." Xiao Yi’s face turned pale as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and confidently watched the trio completely swallowed behind him.

When the flames and the explosion dissipated, it revealed the figures of Heavenly Defect, Earth Defect, and Black Impermanence.

At this time, the three were in tattered clothes, covered in blood, and laid on the ground spitting blood copiously.

Although not dead, they were clearly seriously injured and no longer capable of fighting.
