Martial Conquest of the Nine Desolates

Chapter 1603 - 1586: Showdown with the Sword Emperor

"Sword Emperor, kill this boy. He is too arrogant, relying on his strength to threaten us and completely disregarding your presence!""Indeed, Sword Emperor, keeping this boy is a disaster!"

"Hmph, everyone calm down. Sword Emperor is in seclusion, gradually recovering. Xiao Ye does not pose a great threat to him anymore. Sword Emperor definitely won’t allow Xiao Ye to act recklessly like this."

...

Those four half-emperors, who luckily survived after being heavily injured by Xiao Ye, let out a sigh of relief and said with faces full of resentment.

"Me, relying on my strength to kill you?"

"Ha ha, you are all heroes of the Ancient Era, having cultivated for such a long time, yet still not my match, and you shamelessly expect Sword Emperor to stand up for you?"

Xiao Ye’s deep gaze swept over those four half-emperors, sneering coldly.

He held no goodwill towards these half-emperors, who acted as accomplices, and if given the chance, he would strike without mercy.

"You!"

Xiao Ye’s words pierced the hearts of the four half-emperors like a sharp dagger, filling them with rage as they glared at Xiao Ye.

"Xiao Ye, it seems you truly don’t have any regard for this Emperor."

"Then let me see, the first genius of Central State, at what level your strength stands now!"

With a long roar, the Sword Emperor raised his index finger; the Sword Qi soared like a rainbow, tearing the sky and rushing toward Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye couldn’t be bothered with words, directly raising his hand as the Slaughter Principle quickly condensed, transforming into a blood-red Sword Light to meet the Sword Emperor’s Sword Qi.

Bang!

The attacks of two peak strongmen clashed fiercely, releasing powerful shockwaves, then vanished in the void together.

This was merely a tentative attack between two peak powerhouses.

The next moment, the two figures shot toward each other like lightning.

Scorching golden Blood Qi surged like the Yangtze River, engulfing the heavens, each drop filled with boundless War Intent shooting to the sky, intertwined with boiling Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Xiao Ye’s twin fists waved, evolving a mighty Fist Skill that shook the heavens, as if divine hands that could destroy everything.

This Fist Skill, called ’Divine Fist,’ was a powerful half-emperor Battle Technique, its power reaching the heavens, very suitable for Xiao Ye to exhibit.

A year ago, during a duel with five senior brothers, Xiao Ye used the Hundred Battle Secret Skill to simulate this from one of them.

In this year’s seclusion, relying on the Time Tower and his extraordinary perception, he had cultivated this combat technique to Great Achievement Realm.

Although not yet Perfect, its power was more terrifying than the Super Perfect Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.

Whoosh!

Boundless Sword Light burst forth, unleashing sharp edges, tearing the void, aiming to kill Xiao Ye.

The Sword Dao of the Sword Emperor had reached an unfathomable realm; every falling flower and leaf in his hand was a sword, and martial artists within a thousand miles had weapons that couldn’t even be unsheathed.

Boom!

The two crashed together, unleashing a sound akin to destroying heaven and earth, echoing throughout surrounding domains, accompanied by a terrifying Energy Storm sweeping out, shattering mountain peaks, as Wuya City couldn’t contain their fierce battle.

The martial artists of the Sword Emperor Divine Dynasty and of Wuji Sect retreated crazily hundreds of miles, feeling slightly safer there.

Only martial artists with strong Cultivation, releasing Half-Emperor Intent and Emperor’s Martial Intent, could follow the battle situation.

This was destined to be a peak battle that would make a mark in the True Spirit Continent’s martial arts history for a thousand years.

"These two are simply too powerful!"

Pei Jiang and Sword Emperor released their Half-Emperor Intents, focusing on the two battling people with intense anxiety.

Xiao Ye was the spiritual pillar of the entire Wuji Sect and even of all Central State martial artists; if he fell, Central State would again be overshadowed by the residual power of the Five Sealed Emperor Strong People.

And the Sword Emperor seemed not to be holding back at all.

Buzz! Buzz!

At this moment, in the sky above Wuya City, terrifying intents swept like tides, finally condensing into four tall figures standing airborne, fearless of the battle waves between Xiao Ye and the Sword Emperor, like gods towering over the Heavenly Dome, gazing deeply at the battle.

Dark Emperor!

Heavenly Emperor!

Wind Emperor!

Barbarian Emperor!

The Thought Avatars of the Four Great Sealed Emperor Strongmen arrived to watch the battle!

Their appearance instantly changed the expressions of the martial artists observing the battle.

This battle was too amazing; it’s no wonder it attracted even these four Half-Emperor Strong People.

"Indeed, the Sword Emperor’s cultivation has recovered significantly; the Supreme Evil Technique impacts him less and less."

"Haha, aren’t we the same? We chose to awaken in this era to avoid the Human Race Four Emperors and strive for supreme realms. This shackle won’t stop us. Let’s see who reaches that realm first."

"Back when I broke through the Invincible Emperor Domain, I heard a secret; perhaps the Undefeated Emperor is still in this world. I suspect this Xiao Ye is related to him, and thus must be killed."

"Haha, Barbarian Emperor, perhaps that secret is merely a misunderstanding of the Invincible Emperor Domain. Now, Xiao Ye has already been suppressed by the Sword Emperor, no need for us to intervene; he will fall today."

...

Amid the terrifying will spreading, the Four Great Sealed Emperor Strongmen maintained a cautious attitude toward each other, exchanging Half-Emperor Intents with indifferent communication, observing coldly.

Xiao Ye, surrounded by ten thousand feet of golden light, was evolving his own Tao and Law, extremely radiant, with Emperor-level Combat Techniques and Slaughter Principle clashing with the Sword Emperor.

The Sword Emperor’s cultivation was earth-shattering, Sword Dao even more terrifying, gradually recovering, with restraints in his body unable to suppress it, his power growing increasingly formidable, displaying strength beyond Extreme Half-Emperor.

"Sword Dominating the World!"

Sword Qi radiated from the Sword Emperor, sweeping all around like ocean waves, finally condensing into a seven-colored Divine Sword, charging at Xiao Ye.

Swish!

Undeterred, Xiao Ye faced the attack head-on, shattering the Sword Light, but was forced to retreat explosively, with golden blood spilling into the void, his right shoulder pierced by Sword Light, exposing stark white bone, covered with innumerable wounds, the Domineering Body and True Martial Physique proving useless, his Half-Emperor Body almost shattered.

"Xiao Ye, you dare to be distracted in a Martial Arts match with me!"

The Sword Emperor stepped through the air, with a gloomy expression.

Although he forcefully suppressed Xiao Ye, there was no joy in his heart, only anger.

He could sense that Xiao Ye seemed distracted since the battle started.

Especially as Xiao Ye’s gaze was fierce, erupting endless Divine Light, enveloping him completely, as if trying to uncover his secrets, making him uneasy.

"Sword Emperor, I’m not distracted; it’s simply that your strength is indeed superior to mine."

"You are a figure from the Ancient Era, a predecessor. I seek Martial Arts sparring with you for better insight."

Xiao Ye smiled slightly, indifferent to his injuries.

At this moment, his gaze was dazzling, his War Intent soaring. Under the Sword Emperor’s astonished eyes, he swept over a Space Ring and took out a green fruit exuding rich life essence, consuming it directly.

Crackling!

The exceptionally pure energy vibrated throughout Xiao Ye, quickly healing his injuries.

"Continue!"

Xiao Ye shouted, charging again toward the Sword Emperor.
