Soul Emperor Martial God-Chapter 689: I Hope You Will Forgive Me

"Oh? Kid, you can discern my Cultivation?"

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yi, somewhat surprised.

Of course, that was all.

In his perception, Xiao Yi was merely an Earth Origin Sixth Layer Martial Artist.

In his eyes, not much stronger than an ant.

"Senior, is it possible for you to let us go?" Du Youyou supported Xiao Yi, pleading.

"Let you go? Possible," the middle-aged man scoffed.

"You two, having been here in these relics for who knows how long, must have obtained quite a few treasures."

"Leave behind all the Qiankun Bags and Universe Rings you have on you, then you can scram."

"Okay, thank you, senior." Du Youyou swiftly took out her Qiankun Bag.

"And you, kid." The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yi. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, for the Treasures within his Universe Ring were numerous and naturally impossible to surrender.

"Senior, he doesn’t have any treasures," mumbled Du Youyou.

"He even owes me a consultation fee and hasn’t paid up."

In reality, seeing the twisted air around the middle-aged man had made Du Youyou’s heart flinch.

Still being able to support Xiao Yi and talk to the middle-aged man was already quite admirable.

A weaker Martial Artist facing a Martial Artist with far superior Cultivation would unconsciously feel a sense of dread.

The gap between Mystic Breakthrough First Layer and Earth Extreme Peak.

Much like an ant faced with Mount Tai.

"Quit your yapping. Do you want to force my hand into killing you?" the middle-aged man coldly barked.

A formidable aura surged forth, instantly bearing down upon the two of them.

"Pfft." Xiao Yi, already severely injured from the backlash he just suffered, was now injured further, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

"Xiao Yi!" Du Youyou exclaimed in alarm, stepping forward to shield Xiao Yi.

"Sen... Senior, he really doesn’t have any treasures," Du Youyou gritted her teeth.

However, even a Supreme Strong’s oppressive might was not something she could withstand.

In just a few seconds, she couldn’t take it anymore, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her face deathly pale.

"Move aside, have you lost your mind?" Xiao Yi pulled Du Youyou behind him.

A mere pressure, he could still withstand.

It was just that the sudden addition of the pressure had aggravated his internal injuries, which made him spit blood.

But Du Youyou, with only Mystic Breakthrough Cultivation, wouldn’t survive the Supreme Strong’s oppressive might.

"Xiao Yi," Du Youyou tried to pull away from him.

But she was firmly grasped by one of Xiao Yi’s hands, unable to move.

"A Supreme Strong’s pressure is not something you can withstand."

"Listen, I’ll hold this guy off later, you run," Xiao Yi said sternly, bearing the pressure.

"That’s not happening," Du Youyou shook her head vigorously.

"Father always taught me, a Martial Artist can’t be so devoid of loyalty."

"If we leave, we leave together."

"You..." Xiao Yi frowned.

"Fine, you run first later, and I’ll follow up," he conceded.

"Mhmm," Du Youyou finally nodded.

Not far in front, the middle-aged man heard their words and laughed disdainfully.

"Thinking of running?"

"Two little fools from Earth Origin Realm and Mystic Breakthrough Realm, thinking of escaping from my grasp?"

As he spoke, he watched greedily the Low Grade Primordial Artifact in Xiao Yi’s hand, his eyes full of avarice.

His instincts told him, this kid had many treasures on him.

"Youyou, run!"

At that moment, Xiao Yi shouted loudly, immediately moving to attack the middle-aged man.

"Overestimating your abilities," the middle-aged man smirked.

"Ice Sky Splitting Slash." As Xiao Yi moved, the sword in his hand slashed forth.

A terrifying blizzard converged at the tip of the sword.

With one slash, a powerful Sword Qi cut straight towards the middle-aged man.

"Hm? Extreme Realm Combat Power?" The middle-aged man was unfazed, but upon sensing the power of the Sword Qi, he was slightly startled.

"No, that’s not it."

"Peak of Extreme Realm Second Layer, yet you are severely injured."

The middle-aged man, truly a Supreme Strong, saw right through Xiao Yi’s condition.

Bang...

With a slight wave of his hand, the Sword Qi instantly dispersed.

"Hmph," Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes.

Almost the moment the Sword Qi shattered, the sword in his hand had vanished.

In its stead was an even more formidable sword.

A faint crack ran along the blade.

It was none other than the top-grade elemental artifact, the Blizzard Sword.

Despite some damage, the Blizzard Sword, being a top-grade elemental artifact, was far superior to low-grade ones.

Xiao Yi moved with incredible speed.

Countless life-and-death battles had honed his terrifying combat awareness and instincts.

He had been ready for a series of moves the moment he struck.

"Top-grade elemental artifact?" The middle-aged man didn’t take Xiao Yi seriously at all, instead his eyes gleamed with greed.

"Ha!" Xiao Yi shouted, swinging the Blizzard Sword heavily down.

Boom... a loud crash sounded.

Their collision unleashed two towering currents of air.

The entire Cave Mansion Relics trembled non-stop.

"Hmm? How is this possible, peak of Extreme Realm Second Layer invoking the combat power of the late-stage Extreme Realm?" For once, the middle-aged man was truly astonished.

"Kid, it seems your body is not only full of treasures, but also plenty of good things like secret techniques."

"Ha ha ha ha, all those things will soon be mine."

Xiao Yi’s eyes were cold. He had put his full strength into this sword strike.

However, the middle-aged man parried with ease as if it was nothing.

"Scram." The middle-aged man growled, blasting a palm out.

Xiao Yi, along with his sword, was sent flying with great force.

A streak of blood trailed in the air.

Meanwhile, Du Youyou, heeding Xiao Yi’s advice, had started to run away as soon as Xiao Yi had made his move.

But halfway through her escape, seeing Xiao Yi struggling, she immediately stopped.

"Xiao Yi!" Du Youyou cried out in alarm.

Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, turned around mid-air, and steadied himself.

"What are you doing standing there? Run."

Xiao Yi yelled, charging forward with his sword once again.

"Not one of you will escape," the middle-aged man sneered.

With a swift motion, the sword in Xiao Yi’s hand reached lightning speed.

It was like a beautiful crane!

The tip of the sword aimed straight for the middle-aged man’s throat.

He was well aware that his current combat power was no match for the man before him.

But he was confident.

The many aces up his sleeve were his greatest source of confidence.

He was just waiting for that one chance for a lethal strike.

"I’ve lost interest in playing with you, die now," the middle-aged man said with a chilling smile.

"Never thought that just passing through Fenghua County would yield such gains."

"Not only did I find Ancient Relics, but I’ll also gain so much more, keke."

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yi with disdain.

In his palm, he gathered a dark and chillingly powerful force.

The surrounding air no longer twisted but disintegrated instead.

"Now’s the time," Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes and muttered under his breath.

The Blizzard Sword in his hand continued its trajectory inexorably.

His other hand clenched into a fist, mentally linked to the Eight Dragons Burning Fire Furnace inside the Universe Ring.

The Furious Flame Ring was also ready to be unleashed.

With a single thought, he could use the augmentation from the Furious Flame Ring to erupt the Four-colored Flames.

And release the Dragon Flame.

His sword was now a meter away from the middle-aged man’s throat.

His other hand was ready to strike.

This was it, he internally roared.

The middle-aged man sneered, his chilling force in hand ready to be deployed.

But at that very moment...

His eyes suddenly caught sight of the Token hanging from Xiao Yi’s waist.

A look of shock crossed his face; his aura shuddered violently.

A terrifying thought rose in his mind.

"Ice... Ice Venerate Token?" The middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, and he hurriedly withdrew his hand aiming at Xiao Yi.

The dark chilling force dissipated instantly.

His feet moved back several steps, and he bowed slightly.

"I was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai; I beg your forgiveness, sir."
