Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 548 - 547: Take My Three Moves, and I’ll Leave Your Body Intact!
"Huihai Sword Master, it is indeed you..."
Xiao Yi's gaze was icy as he stared at the figure shrouded within the cloak.
Although the person had always been wrapped in a cloak, making it impossible to see their face clearly, Xiao Yi confirmed their identity the moment they appeared, recognizing him as the Deputy Sect Master of the Tianjian Sect, Huihai Sword Master.
Huihai Sword Master was startled, then tore off his cloak.
His face bore a ferocious cold smile as he stared intently at Xiao Yi and said deliberately, "Heh heh, I thought that with the Sword Emperor's hefty bounty on you, I wouldn't get a chance to move. Unexpectedly, you've managed to hold on until now. Your strength has indeed improved from before!"
In Huihai Sword Master's eyes, there was nothing but ferocity and chill.
Xiao Yi was indifferent, and a touch of icy coldness flashed in his eyes, "It appears that Liu Yi and Little Lin have indeed been betrayed by Yang Kun!"
Huihai Sword Master let out a cold laugh, completely disregarding Xiao Yi's words, and said indifferently, "When a sovereign orders a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. Yang Kun's actions were also for considering the countless people of the Great Qian Dynasty."
"Truly laughable. The Grand Prince himself, delivering meritorious officials to the enemy nation, is this also considered for the people's benefit?" Xiao Yi said, laughing angrily.
The Great Qian Dynasty and the Sword Dynasty were sworn enemies.
They had been at war for many years.
The Sword Dynasty had always been in the dominant position. Now, under Xiao Yi's leadership, they had not only crushed the Sword Dynasty's God Devouring Ants army, but also breached the Southern Ice City of the Sword Dynasty for the first time and even stormed into the Sword Dynasty's residences, destroying dozens of cities.
For the Great Qian Dynasty, Xiao Yi and people like Liu Yi were undeniably national heroes.
Being granted a title and a military command was well deserved!
Yet...
Yang Kun captured them and then delivered them to the Sword Emperor.
How could Xiao Yi not be furious?
The surrounding people had not expected that Liu Yi and the others were actually sent over by Yang Kun, the Grand Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty. They were all discussing amongst themselves, "Emperor Qian is truly a tyrant. Who would have thought that he would have such a worthless son?"
"Although we are enemy nations, I also think that Liu Yi and the others should become heroes of the Great Qian Dynasty. I didn't expect them to be treated like this..."
"Yang Kun's shenanigans are really ridiculous!"
Huihai Sword Master huffed coldly and looked at Xiao Yi expressionlessly, "Xiao Yi, since I am here, you should know that today only one of us will leave this place alive."
"The only one leaving alive will be me!" Xiao Yi said.
Huihai Sword Master sneered, "You really are confident. But a fight to the death is not just about confidence. Just like your combat pet, it too was confident at first, but in the end, wasn't it easily captured by me..."
As he spoke.
Huihai Sword Master raised his right hand, flipping his palm toward the ground.
Suddenly he spread his fingers.
Following that...
Clang clang clang!
Amidst a series of crisp sounds, a shower of golden scales flew out from his storage ring, scattering across the ground.
These golden scales were stained with glaring blood marks.
On many of the scales, there was even flesh attached.
Obviously, they had been brutally torn from someone's body.
Seeing the scales strewn on the ground, Xiao Yi's pupils contracted slightly. A cold glint of extreme chill swept across his deep eyes, as vast as the starry sky.
Huihai Sword Master grinned, "I'm sure you've guessed that these scales were all plucked one by one from your combat pet by me personally. The feeling of tearing each scale away, along with flesh, listening to its agonized screams, it's involuntarily exhilarating!"
In Xiao Yi's mind, the image of Little Lin being bound.
The scene where Huihai Sword Master repeatedly ripped the scales off his body.
To have scales torn off continuously.
That's akin to having one's nails pulled out, piece by piece.
How painful that must be!
Xiao Yi could imagine just how agonizing it was for Little Lin at the time. A fierce killing intent erupted from his eyes as he said each word deliberately, "You, deserve to die!"
No sooner had the words fallen.
Xiao Yi's form had already vanished from sight.
The speed was so fast that it left onlookers speechless.
Whoosh!
A cold gust of wind ripped through the air, but Huihai Sword Master simply smiled coldly, pointing into the void with his lone arm.
A black longsword burst forth from within his sleeve.
Clang!
The blade unsheathed, its black Sword Qi like a meteor under the moonlit night, slashing across the sky in an instant and cutting towards a desolate gap to the side. Just as everyone was confused, not understanding why Huihai Sword Master would strike at thin air,
Xiao Yi's figure suddenly appeared where the Sword Qi struck.
Seeing that Huihai Sword Master was able to pinpoint his location, Xiao Yi also showed a hint of surprise but did not panic. He pointed with his sword, and a buzzing sound accompanied the emergence of a circular Qi barrier in front of him.
Dang!
The black Sword Qi touched the Qi barrier, and both exploded simultaneously.
Fragments of Qi scattered in all directions.
They flew into the crowd...
In an instant, the roars were deafening, and numerous spectators who were strong in their own right suffered collateral damage. Some were pierced through by Sword Qi, others had limbs severed by fragments of Qi, and the scene was amidst utter chaos.
"Heavenly Sword Style—Clear Wind Purifying Rain!"
Huihai Sword Master stood at a distance, forming sword fingers with his hand and controlling the sword through the air.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The black longsword was like an extension of his arm, changing techniques fluidly and precisely.
With each swing of the longsword.

Streams of green Sword Qi coupled with a biting sword windstorm converged into droplets of green Sword Rain, pouring down with a whoosh. Covering the heavens and enveloping the earth, countless blade lights shot towards Xiao Yi.
Each streak of Sword Qi was powerful enough to severely injure an average Dharma Phase Realm Peak practitioner.
The might of this sword technique was immensely powerful.
Wind Thunder forces roamed around Xiao Yi, forming into wind dragons and thunder tigers encircling him.
He unleashed the Invincible King Fist repeatedly.
Smashing apart the torrential sword rain bearing down on him like a tempest.
The more they fought, the braver they got, and their figures became too fast to see. As the battle raged on, the residual waves spread far and wide, and the great Wumen was already riddled with holes, a scene of total devastation. The watching crowd had long since retreated to a safe distance, fearful of becoming unintended victims once more.
For about half an incense stick's worth of time, the clash between the two showed no signs of abating.
The fierce collision of power, the exquisite skill in their duel, was enough to make one applaud and exclaim, "What terrifying swordsmanship from Huihai Sword Master. But Xiao Yi is indeed powerful too, managing to hold on for so long at the peak of the Dharma Manifestation Realm without losing!"
"The Great Qian Dynasty has indeed produced geniuses in recent years. First, there was Xiao Tianjiao who suppressed the prodigies of the four nations, and now there's Xiao Yi..."
"What's Xiao Yi? Can he even compare with Xiao Tianjiao?"
"Huihai Sword Master is obviously holding back, deliberately playing a cat and mouse game with Xiao Yi, toying with him. Once he decides he's done playing and goes all out, I reckon he could slash Xiao Yi down within ten moves!"
The crowd was in the midst of conversation when
a booming explosion erupted within Wumen, accompanied by raging winds and an overflow of Sword Qi.
Xiao Yi and Huihai Sword Master each retreated to their sides
and looked at each other from a distance.
Huihai Sword Master sneered, "It seems you've indeed become much stronger in this period, but you're not the only one who has." With a thunderous roar, a terrifying aura burst forth from Huihai Sword Master's body.
It was distinctly the Eight Nirvana Realm!
Gulp!
Everyone gasped in shock, staring in awe at the godlike and demonic presence of Huihai Sword Master: "The Eight Nirvana Realm? Has Huihai Sword Master been hiding his true strength all this time?"
"What a terrifying Huihai Sword Master. To pass through eight rebirths, if he strikes with his full power, I'm afraid Xiao Yi could be finished in a single move!"
Even the Sword Emperor, upon sensing the Eight Nirvanic Rebirths aura from Huihai Sword Master, couldn't help but squint his eyes and murmur, "What a deep concealment from Huihai Sword Master... There's absolutely no chance for a Dharma Manifestation Realm Peak to triumph over the Eight Nirvana Realm. Xiao Yi is as good as dead!"
Huihai Sword Master's aura gradually subdued, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a ferocious and cold sneer, "Speaking of which, my breakthrough to the Eight Nirvanic Stages so quickly is related to your heavenly tribulation. To express my gratitude, I'll offer you a chance..."
"If you can withstand three moves from me without dying, I'll leave your corpse intact!"
