Chapter 1870: Chapter 1870: Let Me Introduce You to a Friend
Xiao Yi’s gaze turned to the surrounding Black Mages.
"The Six Poison Absolute Heaven Formation, though one of the Supreme Formations."
"But, no formation is flawless."
"It’s well-known that Black Mages are arrogant and unpredictable in their methods, if they join forces, it’s not impossible to break the formation."
The surrounding Black Mages frowned at his words.
Xiao Yi continued, "Each of you is independent, but arrogance and conceit are two different things."
"In the realm of life and death, still so scattered, if you die, it’s deserved."
Xiao Yi’s voice was hoarse and piercing.
To the ears of each Black Mage, like a reprimand from an elder.
Before the crowd could react.
In their eyes, under that wide black robe, a pair of white gloves slowly extended.
"Break." The hoarse tone came out from the wide black robe.
The Six Poison Absolute Heaven Formation instantly rippled.
The confinement power on the surrounding Black Mages instantly dissipated.
"The formation has flaws now, it can be broken." A Black Mage exclaimed with joy.
"Black Poison, disperse."
As soon as the words fell, this Black Mage bizarrely transformed into a mist of poison, instantly dissipating and leaving.
"Not good." Golden Iron Saint Emperor was instantly alarmed.
If these Black Mages escape, the matter is exposed, the consequence for him would be the pursuit from the Main Hall.
Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...
One by one, the Black Mages all released their techniques.
"Poison Earth Escape." Whoosh... A Black Mage, the ground beneath him transformed into toxic soil, his figure, instantly escaping underground.
"Black Magic Illusion." Whoosh... Another Black Mage transformed into shadow clones, intending to flee.
Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh...
For a moment, inside the formation, it was like a dance of demons, myriad techniques, each bizarre.
The formation already had cracks.
Golden Iron Saint Emperor wanted to repair the formation and control it to trap the crowd, but he became increasingly flustered.
More and more Black Mages escaped.
The formation, instead of being repaired, had more flaws, allowing each Black Mage to escape easily.
The brilliance of the formation lies in its seamlessness, with the formation power perfectly coordinated, forming a brilliant formation.
Golden Iron Saint Emperor, the more flustered he was, the more the formation was full of flaws.
Xiao Yi seeing this, sneered, "Golden Iron Saint Emperor, it seems your skill in formation isn’t perfected yet."
Golden Iron Saint Emperor became more anxious at his words.
Just like that, in a moment, all Black Mages escaped completely.
In place, only Xiao Yi remained.
"Who exactly are you?" Golden Iron Saint Emperor, his face full of fury and annoyance, coldly stared at Xiao Yi.
Golden Iron Saint Emperor was secretly cautious.
The events just happened too quickly, catching him completely off guard.
Almost the moment those white gloves extended, before he could react much, each Black Mage used the formation’s cracks to escape.
His intuition told him, the black-robed ’elder’ before him, was no ordinary person.
Xiao Yi stayed silent.
Golden Iron Saint Emperor squinted his eyes, struck with a palm in the air.
A violent palm wind blasted Xiao Yi, causing him to stagger back a few steps, the wide black robe covering his face blew open.
"Puh." Xiao Yi spat out a mouthful of blood.
With his current strength, he couldn’t even defeat the Peak of Saint Emperor Realm, let alone a Supreme Expert beyond Martial Arts Great Power.
Golden Iron Saint Emperor, looking at the sinister face partly covered by the mask under the wide black robe, was first shocked, then sneered.
"Turns out, you’re just a bluffer." Golden Iron Saint Emperor sneered coldly.
"I should have realized earlier, when you first entered the formation, you were instantly confined."
"That proves your strength, at most, is around the Middle Saint Emperor Stage."
Golden Iron Saint Emperor, becoming a Supreme Cultivation, naturally is not an ordinary person.
A few cold laughs, Golden Iron Saint Emperor’s expression shifted from fury to enlightenment.
The Black Mages all escaped.
As long as his poison pool remains intact, it’s fine.
"They’ve all left, leaving you alone."
"You have no ability to escape, and you can’t escape."
The tone of the Golden Iron Saint Emperor seemed to carry an undertone.
"And then?" Xiao Yi adjusted his large black robe.
He did not put on the wide robe brim of his black robe again, but stood there as he was.
He always wore a black robe, simply to avoid drawing attention when walking outside.
As for anything else, he didn’t care.
Since the brim of the robe’s hood had blown off now, he was too lazy to bother with it.
"There’s something peculiar about you." The Golden Iron Saint Emperor smiled playfully.
He found that he could not perceive the aura of this black-robed martial artist at all.
Logically, if one were to encounter a masked, unreadable martial artist in the Central Region today, almost everyone would first think of a person, the renowned Purple Flame Yi Xiao.
However, the main hallmark of Purple Flame Yi Xiao is not the mask or the unreadable aura, but that overwhelming fire control technique and those various formidable worldly flames.
Therefore, even though the Golden Iron Saint Emperor saw the mask on Xiao Yi’s face, he didn’t think of the words "Yi Xiao" at all.
Instead, it was Xiao Yi who just entered the formation and identified the Six Poison Absolute Heaven Formation, and broke through the formation in a moment, finding a flaw.
These methods made one mistakenly believe that this was an eccentric with bizarre yet unfathomable means.
The Golden Iron Saint Emperor smiled, "You are not an ordinary person, are you?"
"Just from a few of your methods, I can perceive the unfathomable depth of your techniques."
"I originally intended to kill you to vent my anger, but now, I’ve changed my mind."
"If you are willing to join me, I can spare your life."
"In the future, leveraging your aura concealing methods and these unfathomable formation skills, I guarantee that within a few years, you can reach my level."
"Of course, it would also save me much trouble when using this Six Poison Absolute Heaven Formation."
Obviously, the Golden Iron Saint Emperor had taken a liking to Xiao Yi’s skills.
"Oh? Recruiting me, are you?" Xiao Yi sneered, "Unfortunately, colluding with you is not my desire."
"Colluding?" The Golden Iron Saint Emperor sneered, "What is filthy? You?"
"With such an ugly face, covered in poisonous sores and blood blisters, neither human nor ghostlike, you are more unbearable, more filthy than I am."
Xiao Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his large sleeves draped behind him.
"If the world’s filth, good or evil, were determined solely by one’s appearance."
"Then this world wouldn’t need smart people anymore."
"In other words, are you trying to say you are a good person?" The Golden Iron Saint Emperor interrupted.
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head.
"As those Black Mages just said, you set a trap, lured, and killed many Black Mages, ruthless, vicious, despicable, and unbearable."
"But I don’t consider myself a good person."
"If I wanted to, I could be more ruthless, more vicious, more despicable, more unbearable than you."
"Oh?" The Golden Iron Saint Emperor’s eyes lit up, "In that case, if you join me..."
The Golden Iron Saint Emperor trusted his intuition; the man before him was far from an ordinary person.
"But..." Xiao Yi coldly interrupted, "The reason this world is called the human world is because it still has the word humanity."
"The difference between you and me is that you are scum, whereas I still have a bottom line."
"The Central Region, though cruel, though killings are as common as meals, and lives are like ants."
"But if everyone loses this bottom line supported merely by the word humanity, then this world would no longer be a world but a purgatory."
"Hmph, self-righteous." The Golden Iron Saint Emperor sneered disdainfully, even with a touch of killing intent, "Don’t make yourself out to be so noble..."
"No." Xiao Yi interrupted coldly again, "What supports my willingness to still embrace the word humanity is because I have people I cherish, though few, they are incomparably precious."
"Oh right, talking so much to you is not about preaching some great truth."
"Rather, your poison pool, with such vast poison dao power, if I were to refine it myself, it would be too arduous."
"After chatting for so long, you should have almost completely refined it, right?"
"What do you mean?" The Golden Iron Saint Emperor narrowed his eyes.
Xiao Yi smiled coldly, "I mean nothing, I just have a friend with a face as ugly as mine, who I plan to introduce to you."
"Who?" The Golden Iron Saint Emperor was shocked.
His perception had always enveloped the surroundings.
But in his perception, there was nothing else around.
Just as he was puzzled, in front of him, a ghostly white shadow flashed by.
This was the last scene he saw.
A scythe, as swift as the wind, flashed across.
The head of the Golden Iron Saint Emperor fell, rolling several meters away before coming to a stop.
...
Chapter One.
