Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: The First Battle After the Breakthrough
Whish...
A beam of Starlight Sword Qi was unleashed, just enough to counteract the angry thunder descending from the sky.
Xiao Yi was about to reach out and pick the Emperor-grade Blue Thunder Fruit, whish whish whish... several more bolts of thunder struck.
Xiao Yi quickly retreated his steps, creating distance.
He retreated dozens of meters, just barely steadying himself, when a gigantic figure appeared before the Emperor-grade Blue Thunder Fruit.
It was a tiger-like demon beast as huge as a small mountain.
Almost at the instant of the demon beast’s appearance, its large and piercing eyes were already locked onto Xiao Yi.
The imposing aura and arrogant gaze were strong indicators that this was a king among tiger-type demon beasts.
"Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger." Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes, "Saint Emperor Realm beast, any Martial Arts Emperor below the third layer will be instantly killed if encountered."
Such demon beasts, even in the perilous domains and Demon Beast Forests of the Four-direction Domain, are certainly of the Overlord Level.
At the same time, these demon beasts are also extremely rare.
The Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger always wanders alone, yet whenever it appears, it becomes the overlord of any perilous domain.
Boom... boom... boom...
Dozens of thunder bolts suddenly bombarded Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was well-prepared, and the Cold Flame Sword in his hand appeared out of thin air.
The Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger is a very tyrannical demon beast.
Once targeted or provoked, it will fight to the death.
Clang... clang... clang...
Xiao Yi swung the Cold Flame Sword repeatedly in front of him, layers of Sword Shadow forming an impenetrable barrier.
Dozens of thunder bolts crashed down, all dispersed by the Sword Shadow.
Boom...
At this moment, another bolt of thunder struck, but it was much thicker than before.
This was practically a Thunder Pillar.
"So strong." Xiao Yi’s pupils shrank as he clearly felt the deadly threat from this Thunder Pillar.
Whoosh... Xiao Yi flickered his silhouette to evade, rather than resisting head-on.
Boom... The Thunder Pillar brushed past him, and its momentum continued unabated.
When the Thunder Pillar finally dissipated, a true vacuum corridor, thousands of meters long, was left in its wake.
Along the path, all trees and soil were reduced to dust.
At the end of the Thunder Pillar’s descent, the blaze immediately erupted.
Thousands of meters away, a sea of flames was already raging.
"Fire Thunder?" Xiao Yi frowned as he glanced at it.
Just now, this Thunder Pillar was probably enough to char a typical Martial Arts Emperor.
Boom...
At this moment, another Thunder Pillar struck.
This time, it carried no overwhelming aura, yet it seemed to be imbued with a sharpness.
Xiao Yi dodged again.
Almost at the instant he evaded, the Thunder Pillar brushed past.
If his reflexes had been half a beat slower, he surely would have been struck.
Fzzz... The thunder crashed but made no explosive sound, only continued its impact until dispersing.
Yet, when the thunder dissipated, a path thousands of meters long had been pierced through.
Along the route traveled, trees, soil, and even mountains were directly penetrated.
"Golden Thunder?" Xiao Yi’s expression gradually grew solemn.
This Golden Thunder under such forceful impact might not be withstandable even by ordinary Holy Artifacts.
Boom...
The next second, another Thunder Pillar arrived.
This time, the speed of the Thunder Pillar reached its peak.
Xiao Yi only had time to raise his sword in defense, with no time to dodge.
Bang... A crashing explosion.
The Thunder Pillar struck the sword body of the Cold Flame Sword.
The Cold Flame Sword was undamaged, while the sharp Cold White Sword Light cleaved the Thunder Pillar apart.
The cleaved Thunder Pillar spread to both sides in front of Xiao Yi.
In the next moment, the separated Thunder Pillars exploded instantly.
The rampant thunder breath rampaged continuously around Xiao Yi.
Fzzz...
A faint sound.
A bloodstain had already been carved across Xiao Yi’s face.
Fzzz... fzzz... fzzz...
The raging thunder breath filled the surroundings.
Xiao Yi’s hand gripping the sword, his arm, his chest, were successively marked with bloodstains.
"Wind Thunder?" Xiao Yi’s expression was slightly unsightly.
This was indeed the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger, itself a Saint Emperor Realm demon beast with astonishing strength.
And it controlled three extremely powerful thunders.
An average Martial Arts Emperor encountering it might not last even for a moment.
Boom... boom... boom...
At this moment, Thunder Pillars came one after another.
Clearly, in the eyes of the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger, Xiao Yi, this human martial artist dares to intrude into its territory, is certainly doomed.
"Do you really think I’m afraid of you, beast?" Xiao Yi coldly eyed the incoming Thunder Pillars.
"Blood Realm Slash."
The Cold Flame Sword in his hand slashed out.
A blood-colored Sword Qi streaked past, swift as lightning.
Where the Sword Qi passed, it was like the ultimate sharpness, slicing apart every Thunder Pillar.
Boom... boom... boom...
At this moment, three towering Thunder Pillars bombarded forth.
"Fire Thunder, Golden Thunder, Wind Thunder, together?" Xiao Yi’s expression chilled.
"Blood Realm Slash." Xiao Yi shouted fiercely.
The sky was instantly filled with blood-red aura, covering a thousand meters around.
Xiao Yi slashed his sword, and where the Sword Edge pointed, the sky-filled Blood Qi instantly transformed into countless Sword Qi.
Fzzz...
The Sword Qi rampaged through, without a hint of roar, yet as fast as lightning, as sharp as blades.
The thunders, all were shredded and dissipated.
Numerous blood-colored Sword Qi was all directed at the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger.
Roar... a beastly roar that shook the entire Demon Beast Forest.
The Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger growled in pain.
When the blood-colored Sword Qi dissipated, the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger was already covered in countless sword-marked bloodstains.
For powerful beasts of the Saint Emperor Realm, even they couldn’t withstand the might of the Blood Realm Slash and were instantly scarred numerous times.
Whoosh... Xiao Yi’s figure flickered as he charged forward, his speed equally reaching the extreme.
"Roar." The Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger roared angrily.
Clang... A crisp sword song reverberated suddenly.
A beam of Cold White Sword Light flickered past its large eyes.
The sharp Sword Body struck atop its head.
"Blood Storm Slash." Xiao Yi spoke lowly.
The large eyes of the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger bulged wide.
Without any visible gestures, the majestic gaze gradually dulled.
The next second... Bang... bang... bang...
Blood columns erupted from the Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger.
When the burst ended, the massive demon beast’s body collapsed heavily.
The Emperor-level Three Thunder Tiger died of blood loss.
This was the Blood Storm Slash.
With a single sword strike, the Sword Intent was overwhelming, provoking the enemy’s blood to surge and kill.
Xiao Yi withdrew the Cold Flame Sword with a satisfied smile.
This was his first battle after breaking through to the Saint King Realm in cultivation, and the result was satisfactory.
Xiao Yi walked towards the Emperor-grade Blue Thunder Fruit, cautiously picking it.
However, at this very moment.
Whizz... whizz... whizz...
Several auras came breaking through the sky.
"Kid, halt!" A loud shout rapidly approached.
As the voice fell, an elder instantly locked on Xiao Yi.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows but didn’t pay attention, continuing his careful picking.
The Emperor-grade Blue Thunder Fruit, this exceptionally cherished Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, required skill in harvesting.
Even King-grade Alchemists require some effort to harvest it.
"Kid, you’re courting death." The elder saw Xiao Yi didn’t stop and continued picking, instantly furious.
The elder was about to strike.
Xiao Yi’s eyes turned cold, glancing at the elder.
"Hmm?" Upon seeing Xiao Yi clearly, the elder was suddenly shocked, "You... you’re Xiao Yi? You’re not dead yet?"
"Why? Should I be dead?" Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.
...
Second update.
