“If I remember correctly, this kid should only be twenty-three years old.” Old Gui said slowly, “A Earth Rank Martial Emperor at twenty-three. It seems he was hiding his strength before. Everyone, you know what I mean, right?”
“This kid is also an Heavenly Emperor Body!” Ma Wuji seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at Old Gui in shock, “We were all played by him. This is the second Emperor Body born from the rebellious lineage. He has been dormant before, otherwise, there’s no explanation for a twenty-three-year-old Martial Emperor!”
“Even his Grandpa, Summer Bright, only broke through to Martial Emperor at forty. Everyone, this is an opportunity!” Old Gui said solemnly, “You know what it means to be able to bring an Emperor Body back!”
As soon as this was mentioned, the six people’s breathing instantly became rapid. The look in their eyes towards Xia Feng lost much of its apprehension and gained a bit of greed!
Xia Feng frowned, not understanding what these six people were up to.
Yes, a living Emperor Body. If they could capture Xia Feng and bring him back, not only would their own Emperor reward them, but even the current Xia Emperor would bestow rewards upon them!
“Not to mention promotion and ennoblement, if we have the heavenly materials and earthly treasures bestowed by the Xia Emperor, Martial Saint will no longer be something out of reach for us!”
“He is only a Earth Rank Martial Emperor. He just consecutively used three great divine abilities. Now he is probably at the end of his strength. We cannot be scared by him!”
“That’s right, divine abilities consume a lot of spiritual energy. The one who died just now was the weakest among us. Perhaps his plan was to instantly kill the weakest three first to intimidate us!” Ma Wuji slapped his hand and said with certainty.
He was also a Earth Rank Martial Emperor and clearly understood what it meant to consecutively use three great divine abilities.
Unfortunately, Xia Feng’s situation was different from theirs. Not only did he have the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart which could absorb spiritual energy at three times the speed, but he also had the Supreme Art. Therefore, three divine abilities were still bearable for him!
“Let’s go all out! We must capture this kid today!” Old Gui took a deep breath, then his entire body exploded with vast ghost energy. He gritted his teeth menacingly and angrily said to Xia Feng.
“Little thing, don’t think you can scare this old man with a little trick. Today, you will definitely die!” Old Gui opened his mouth wide, and terrifying black dense fog spewed out, spreading towards Xia Feng like a tidal wave!
In the black fog, countless fleshless evil spirits ferociously waved their arms, madly pouncing towards Xia Feng!
“Charge together! Take him down as quickly as possible!” Ma Wuji waved his hand and instructed the other four Martial Emperors.
For a time, the six great Martial Emperors attacked together. Streaks of light shot across the sky, and the sound of clashing weapons was incessant!
Ma Wuji did not take the opponent lightly just because he was at the same level. That was an Heavenly Emperor Body!
The previous Battle Heaven Emperor, Summer Bright, had shown them what it meant to underestimate an Heavenly Emperor Body – they all died!
The weapon he used was a pear blossom mountain-splitting saber. Wielded in his hand, it was powerful and forced Xia Feng to repeatedly parry with the Qingxue Sword.
The leader of the Di Xia Dynasty, Han Sen, used a poisoned dagger. The dagger was incredibly sharp and could even pierce through the void!
Xia Feng’s expression was quite solemn. He dared to take other damage if absolutely necessary, but he did not want his body to have any contact with the dark-tipped, obviously poisoned blade!
The other three Martial Emperors, one used a snow-silver long spear, one used a pair of gloves, and another used aEmerald Green Iron Whip!
The six people and Xia Feng were entangled in the air, fighting fiercely for a time!
“Damn it, the gap in Martial Skills is too big.” Xia Feng cursed inwardly, his expression also becoming increasingly ugly.
Although he occasionally released the Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash and the other two peerless Martial Skills when fighting the six people, their power was still too far behind when colliding with the opponent's Emperor-level Martial Skills!
Although his cultivation was higher than the five Xuan Realm Martial Emperors, he did not have any Emperor-level martial arts in hand, and he was unable to kill any of the six people in a short time.
Don’t look at them fighting evenly now, but Xia Feng was very clear that if this dragged on, the opponent would soon find his weakness and defeat him based on that!
“As expected of an Heavenly Emperor Body, to be able to fight six without falling into a disadvantage…” Old Gui licked his lips, then he let out a sinister laugh, “Hehehe, but it’s useless, kid. I’ve seen through you. Besides divine abilities, you don’t have any other presentable attack methods!”
The remaining few Martial Emperors also reacted. The joy on their faces grew stronger. As long as Xia Feng couldn’t eliminate one of them, there was no way Xia Feng could win!
“Is that so?”
Upon hearing this, Xia Feng’s expression instantly turned cold.
“Since you all think this way, why don’t you try taking these few moves of mine!”
Spiritual energy converged on his legs, and Xia Feng suddenly surged upwards. Inside his body, the two Nine Orifices Exquisite Hearts operated frantically, and the three peerless martial arts involuntarily hummed!
Xia Feng held a large saber in his hand, his expression ferocious, and instantly gathered all the spiritual energy in his body into the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart.
“Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash!!”
With a roar, the Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash, strengthened by the Nine Orifices Exquisite Heart, was unleashed by Xia Feng. The saber energy, covering the sky and the sun, charged towards the six people with incomparable ferocity, causing cold sweat to stream down their backs!
“That is, Emperor-level martial art!! Not good, he still has a trump card he hasn’t used!” Han Sen was closest to the saber energy. He could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in that attack!
“Quickly scatter! This move cannot be taken head-on!” Han Sen screamed frantically again.
Chapter 59: Three Great Martial Emperors Flee in Disarray
After Han Sen shouted, he immediately tore through space and retreated with all his spiritual energy!
He specialized in the assassin’s path, and his speed was several times faster than other Martial Emperors. He quickly escaped to a safe place.
But his speed did not mean that the other Martial Emperors were also fast!
Xia Feng mobilized all his pressure and desperately pressed down on the other three lowest-ranked Xuan Realm Martial Emperors.
These three Martial Emperors instantly felt as if they were carrying ten thousand pounds of weight on their backs, and the speed of their feet slowed down visibly!
“No! Lord Ma save me!!”
Seeing the violent saber light charging towards them, the Xuan Realm Martial Warrior of the Tianxia Dynasty raised his head and desperately called for help to Ma Wuji, who had already flashed into the distance.
“Damn it! These useless people!” Ma Wuji took a deep breath, gritted his teeth tightly, his eyes filled with anger.
But he knew that if he didn't save these three Martial Emperor powerhouses, then Xia Feng would not be someone they, the remaining three, could deal with!
“Green Spirit Sky Wolf!”
He quickly bit his finger, then pointed towards the void. Four white wolves with black seal script carved all over their bodies emerged from the void and roared towards the sky.
They charged towards the saber light at an extremely fast speed, trying to slow down the power and speed of the saber light with their own bodies!
“You think this can stop me? Dream on!”
A glint of light flashed in Xia Feng’s eyes. At this moment, he was clearer than anyone else that if he couldn’t kill these three people, he would be in danger!
Even if it meant overdrawing some of his Dantian, he had to achieve a quick kill!
“Thunder Overlord Desolate Star!”
Five violent lightning balls containing the power of the Heavenly Dao charged towards the four spirit wolves at extremely tricky angles.
After a series of explosions, four charred wolf corpses were thrown out from the thick fog, narrowly missing the massive and terrifying saber light.
“No!” The three people’s faces showed despair as they watched the Cloud Elephant Heavenly Might Slash, carrying the power of a High Grade Emperor-level martial art, sweep past their bodies. Then their vision spun.
Three heads fell to the ground simultaneously.
“Damn beast, is the spiritual energy in his body inexhaustible?!” Ma Wuji’s eyes were bloodshot. After a Martial Emperor Divine Ability, there was another Emperor-level martial art. The feeling Xia Feng gave him was truly too strange.
Divine abilities and Martial Skills were the best means for Cultivators to defeat enemies, but similarly, using such highly lethal skills would consume a large amount of spiritual energy within their Dantian. Therefore, they would generally not easily use ultimate techniques unless it was the most suitable situation.
Even he would have to spend a good deal of time recovering after fully unleashing three divine abilities and one Emperor-level martial art.
But after that, the entire person would be in a weakened state. Generally, unless it was a life-and-death enemy, he would not dare to squander spiritual energy like this.
But Xia Feng was good. He casually threw out three great divine abilities and Emperor-level martial arts, as if they cost nothing!
Just those five small spheres just now, he clearly felt the power of a Low Grade Emperor-level martial art on them!
“It is said that the Heavenly Emperor Body is overbearing and boundless. I didn’t expect that besides their cultivation speed and comprehension talent crushing ordinary people, they also have such an endless reserve of spiritual energy.” Old Gui said with an ugly expression.
Now, only the leaders of their Three Great Dynasties were left, but Xia Feng had no losses except for some harmless superficial injuries.
However, what they didn't know was that Xia Feng was not an Heavenly Emperor Body. The reason he could consume spiritual energy like this was mainly due to the other two Nine Orifices Exquisite Hearts and the Supreme Art.
After the Supreme Art was activated, Xia Feng’s speed of absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was several times that of ordinary people, and each of the Nine Orifices Exquisite Hearts was equivalent to an artificial Dantian!
Others only had one Dantian, but Xia Feng had three. How could they even fight?
“Only you are left.” Xia Feng turned his head and smiled cruelly.
Feeling Xia Feng’s gaze, Han Sen couldn’t help but shiver. He turned his head and glanced at Ma Wuji and Old Gui. The three quickly reached an agreement.
The Heavenly Emperor Body was simply too strange. Those who could Cultivate to Martial Emperor had spent thousands upon thousands of years, and no one dared to gamble with their life!
“Kid, you remember this. Don’t think you can rest easy just because you repelled us this time. When we come back next time, it will be your death day!”
Ma Wuji of the Tianxia Dynasty left harsh words, then he cut through the void with his dagger and quickly escaped into it!
Han Sen and Old Gui followed suit. One escaped into the shadows, and the other turned into a bizarre black fog, fleeing rapidly in three different directions!
Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to run away so decisively.
He looked at the three directions they were heading away from each other, thought for a moment, and then gave up on tracking.
If he couldn't kill all three, the news of his Earth Rank Martial Emperor would definitely leak out, and he was also a little worried that this was a diversion.
Now, the only person in Xingyu City who could fight these Three Great Dynasties Martial Emperors was him. His parents were still in the city.
As Xia Feng landed lightly on the city wall, the heads of the several great families in the city were all dumbfounded.
“Those… those were Martial Emperor powerhouses?” The Zhang Family head’s pupils widened abruptly, saying in disbelief.
Their Xingyu City was just a remote small city. Before, Cloud Mountain, a Martial Venerable from the Yunshan Sect, was an unparalleled giant to them.
And they had never even seen a Martial Emperor, only knowing that there was such a Realm of super powerhouses.
But these powerhouses, who only existed in everyone’s imagination, not only appeared, but there were a total of nine of them!
What was even more terrifying was that six of them had been killed by Xia Feng!
“Did you see that? Xia Feng actually fought one against nine and even killed six of the opponent’s Martial Emperors… Is this still the useless person we knew before?” The Wang Family head was stunned.
“Who are you calling useless! That’s the young master of our Xingyu City! If you can’t speak properly, shut your dog mouth!” The Li Family head’s face instantly changed, and he slapped him hard on the back.
This slap woke the Wang Family head up. He quickly stabilized himself, wiped off cold sweat, and said, “Yes, yes, it’s Lord Young Master.”
