Chapter 1232: Chapter 1232: Martial Soul Awakening
Step...
Xiao Yi flipped in midair and landed steadily on the ground.
"You have some skills." Xiao Yi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, frowning as he looked at Qin Hao.
The black flames in Qin Hao’s hands surged and were terrifying.
Boom...
Suddenly, Qin Hao clasped his hands together, and the flames within them suddenly went wild.
The Black Radiant Flame spread from his hands, swiftly roaming and surrounding a hundred meters radius at an alarming speed.
"Those words should be for me to say to you." Qin Hao squinted his eyes.
"To survive a direct hit from my Black Radiance Palm, you indeed have some skill."
"However, that’s all there is to it."
"Handheld Flames, rise."
Qin Hao shouted violently, separating his hands.
The Black Radiant Flame, which had already surrounded the area, instantly flared up like a raging fire.
All around, the Martial Artists who had been in a fierce battle suddenly had a drastic change of expression.
The intense high-temperature flames and terrifying heat waves instantly gave them a sense of danger, and they all retreated swiftly.
The hundred meters radius became a zone that no Martial Artists dared to approach.
Within the raging black flames, Xiao Yi’s expression became slightly serious, "A Flame Formation?"
Currently, Qin Hao’s Handheld Flames clearly had the implications of a Formation.
However, it wasn’t a purely traditional Formation.
It was somewhat similar to the Star Illusion Sword Formation, using Starlight Power as its source and deploying in the form of a Sword Formation.
Now, Qin Hao’s move was similar, using flames as the source, and deploying in the form of a Formation.
The Black Radiant Flame was initially strong, infinitely close to the world’s most powerful flame.
With the Black Shining Flame Ring enhancing it, plus the current formation’s power, its might surged tremendously out of nowhere.
"Let me see how you survive this time." A flash of killing intent crossed Qin Hao’s eyes.
In fact, Xiao Yi, at merely the Third Layer of the Saint King Realm, being able to withstand his Black Radiant Flame and Black Radiance Palm, only being injured but not dead, also surprised him.
However, that’s all there is to it.
He was full of confidence in his current tactics.
The Handheld Flames were an Ancient Flame Formation that the Qin Family stumbled upon by chance.
With his talent, he had pursued intense study for many years to comprehend and practice it.
Combined with his Black Radiant Flame, this Great Formation’s power was overwhelming, even if a Martial Arts Emperor entered, they might instantly turn to ashes.
In the Four-direction Domain, renowned in the Central Region, its most famous first Heavenly Talent is naturally no ordinary individual, possessing astonishing tricks.
In the spectator’s seats, the Fang Family Master’s expression instantly changed.
"What a powerful Flame Formation."
Even a strong person at his level could sense a hint of threat from it.
"Muxue, return the sword quickly." The Fang Family Master urgently shouted.
At the Qin Family seats, Elder Qin Family Head chuckled coldly, "Want to return the sword now? Too late."
"Hmph, yesterday you were lucky and escaped death."
"Today, you’ll still die at the hands of my Qin Family Martial Artist?"
Elder Qin Family Head watched Xiao Yi on the Martial Arts Arena, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
And when he looked at Qin Hao, his face showed all appreciation.
On the Martial Arts Arena, Fang Muxue instantly reacted, "Young Master Xiao Yi, catch the sword."
"Hmph." Qin Hao sneered, "No chance anymore."
"Handheld Flames, burn."
The fierce black flames exploded instantly.
In just a breath, the hundred meters radius seemed to turn into a purgatory of black flames.
The intense high temperature even began to melt the ground of the Martial Arts Arena.
"Young Master Xiao Yi." Fang Muxue was shocked and distressed.
"Take care of yourself first." Zheng Qing sneered, taking the opportunity to strike with a sword.
Fang Muxue was unable to dodge in time, and in an instant, a bloody scar appeared on her arm.
"If Miss Muxue wants to die faster, continue to be distracted." Zheng Qing smiled coldly.
"In the Four-direction Tournament, life and death are up to fate. Even if I kill you, the Fang Family wouldn’t dare trouble me."
Zheng Qing spoke smugly, continuously swinging the cold sword in his hand.
The exquisite Sword Shadows instantly blocked Fang Muxue’s surroundings.
Fang Muxue kept defending with her sword, but her eyes involuntarily shifted to the black flaming sea.
Even with the considerable distance, the overwhelming flames and heat still made her feel burning all over.
If she were truly within it, she would likely be reduced to ashes in an instant.
"I shouldn’t have taken the sword." Fang Muxue’s face was full of regret and worry.
Just at that moment, a cold shout suddenly sounded from the black flaming sea.
"Blood Realm Slash."
A striking blood-red light shot out.
The blood color transformed into Sword Qi, unstoppable, cutting through everything.
The raging black flames were divided.
A cold and indifferent figure walked out unscathed.
"Scatter." Xiao Yi shouted coldly.
The sky full of blood color instantly turned into countless Sword Qi, shooting in all directions.
Where the blood-colored Sword Qi passed, the black flames dispersed immediately.
"Young Master Xiao Yi." Fang Muxue’s beautiful eyes lit up, she let out a breath.
In her joy, she didn’t even notice that the blood dripping from the wound on her arm had unknowingly dripped onto the sword body of the Cold Flame Sword.
A tinge of blood color gradually emerged on the sword body.
On the other side, Xiao Yi wielded a sharp sword condensed from Primordial Power, striking heavily.
Where the Sword Edge pointed, countless blood-colored Sword Qi ravaged through.
Without a hint of rumbling, it was incredibly fast and indescribably sharp.
The Sword Edge pointed directly at Qin Hao.
"Not good." Qin Hao’s expression changed, "Handheld Flames, rise."
Countless black flames instantly enveloped his whole body, with flames barriers erected in front.
However, where the blood-colored Sword Qi passed, it shredded them all.
Swoosh...
A blood-colored Sword Qi instantly broke through the Flame Barrier, landing heavily on Qin Hao.
A hideous Sword Mark on Qin Hao’s waist was particularly striking, with blood streaming down.
"Blood Realm Slash?" Qin Hao frowned.
In the spectator’s seats, many Martial Artists suddenly stood up.
"Blood Realm Slash?"
The Martial Artists who stood up were almost all at the Martial Arts Emperor level and above.
At this moment, they all showed expressions of dread.
On the Martial Arts Arena, Qin Hao coldly stared at Xiao Yi, "Blood Realm Slash? Are you an assassin from the Heavenly Nether Mansion?"
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"You lost." Xiao Yi coolly spat out a few words.
His sword pointed coldly again, "Blood Realm Slash."
Countless blood-colored Sword Qi immediately assaulted Qin Hao, reaching an extreme speed.
Qin Hao’s eyes turned cold, "I don’t care if you’re an assassin from the Heavenly Nether Mansion; today, you must die."
Facing the countless blood-colored Sword Qi coming at him, Qin Hao wasn’t afraid. Instead, a cold smile crossed his lips.
Beneath the mocking smile was a hint of cold cruelty.
Boom...
An overwhelming aura suddenly erupted from Qin Hao.
A surge of extreme black light burst from his body.
With just a virtual grasp of his hands, the incoming blood-colored Sword Qi instantly dissipated.
"Hmm? Martial Soul Illusion?"
The black light behind Qin Hao was a clear sign of the Martial Soul Illusion manifesting.
But, black light?
"A black Martial Soul?"
Qin Hao’s figure had already transformed into a black flame and flared over.
The terrifying aura instantly overwhelmed Xiao Yi.
"How can this be? The aura is suddenly stepping into the Emperor Realm and continues to soar?" Xiao Yi’s face changed.
The surrounding spectators, at some point, unexpectedly erupted with excitement.
Was Qin Hao closed off for the Awakening of his Martial Soul?
