Chapter 1569: Chapter 1540: It Was You?

“Either speak, or die!”

Xiao Yi looked coldly at the figure shrouded in a black cloak in front of him.

With his cultivation, he had long been able to see through the other’s strength, which was nothing more than a novice in the Saint King Realm. If it were a one-on-one fight, not to mention Xiao Yi, even Fang Tianchi and the others could probably subdue him.

But…

It was just now that he avoided everyone’s detection.

And in complete secrecy, under their very noses, he had killed Yama.

If not for Xiao Yi’s quick thinking to use the antidote information as a lure to coax him into revealing a flaw, allowing the Divine Sealing Tree’s vines to catch him,

even Xiao Yi would have had a hard time tracking him down.

A foe like this was truly too terrifying.

Holding enough poison in hand to bring a Saint King Realm powerhouse to death, along with such a stealthy concealment technique.

If he meant harm to them, it would be a catastrophe for the Azure Sky Alliance!

The blood-red eyes of the black-robed figure showed no concession, staring fixedly at Xiao Yi, he said, “Xiao Yi, you better think it over. It’s only because I see potential in you that I am willing to talk. Don’t think you’re strong enough now; in our organization, there are those who can match you, you…”

Puff!

Before he could finish, a dull thud interrupted him.

Surprise flashed across the blood-red eyes of the black-robed figure.

Just as he was delivering harsh words,

Xiao Yi had already torn off one of his arms, holding the wound on his shoulder tightly, as torrents of the world’s power ravaged his injury.

That piercing pain twisted his face.

Xiao Yi said calmly, “Speak, or die!”

“You, how dare you?!”

The black-robed figure gritted his teeth and roared, and the other arm followed with a puff as it was forcefully torn off, twisting his features in agony.

In contrast, Xiao Yi…

He remained indifferent from start to finish.

This left the black-robed figure in no doubt that if he did not cooperate, only death awaited him.

“I, I’ll speak…”

Looking at Xiao Yi, the black-robed figure no longer held the same haughty gaze, instead showing dread and awe, gasping, “We are, ah…”

Suddenly, the black-robed figure let out a miserable scream.

His body began to struggle violently.

With a boom, he broke free from the Divine Sealing Tree’s vine restraints.

His body glowed red.

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, his body appeared like burning ceramics, with narrow cracks appearing on the surface.

His surface temperature kept rising.

He was about to be consumed by flames.

Like molten lava.

From the cracks, scorching flames burst forth, and fire tongues flickered from his seven apertures.

The flames became more intense.

The temperature soared higher and higher.

In just an instant…

He was burned to ashes.

Died right before their eyes!

Hiss!

Zhao Wudi and the others’ faces turned pale, as a noble Saint King Realm powerhouse self-ignited and was burned to ashes right under their noses.

Xiao Yi’s expression was equally grave.

This scene was incredibly bizarre.

It all happened too suddenly.

“Boss, what on earth is going on?” Little Lin looked at the dust drifting in front, this was the body of a Saint King Realm powerhouse!

Xiao Yi remained calm: “You all leave here first!”

“Huh?”

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Wudi realized and said solemnly, “Is there someone else in the dark?”

Xiao Yi didn’t answer him, just said calmly, “You all go back to the Qingtian Realm and guard the Azure Heaven Continent, under no circumstances let anything happen to the Azure Heaven Continent!”

“What about you?”

Zhao Wudi asked.

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, “You all go back first, there’s no need to worry about me here. Even if the Saint Emperor comes, he won’t be able to stop me!” Seeing that the others wanted to speak, Xiao Yi’s face darkened, “I said go quickly!”

Everyone exchanged glances.

Zhao Wudi gritted his teeth, “Leave the Azure Heaven Continent to us, take care!”

“Boss…”

Little Lin opened his mouth, but seeing Xiao Yi walking away without turning back, he could only bite his lip, “We’ll wait for you to come back…”

Swish swish swish!

Zhao Wudi, Little Lin, and the others successively broke through the void and left.

For a moment.

The space within the Death God Hall had been left with only Xiao Yi alone.

His hands were clasped behind his back.

Calmly staring into the void ahead, he spoke, “Will you reveal yourself? Or shall I invite you out?”

“You truly are someone recognized by that thing… Xiao Yi, you did not disappoint us!” A chuckle came from the void.

In the void about ten meters in front of Xiao Yi.

Scattered starlight gradually gathered.

Finally transforming into a silhouette.

This person was also cloaked in a black hooded robe, even their face covered, leaving only a pair of bright eyes exposed.

Those were deep eyes, as brilliant as the starry sky.

The two locked eyes.

Xiao Yi felt those eyes were familiar, yet he couldn’t remember where he had seen them before: “Who exactly are you? Or should I ask, who are you people?”

Yama intended to reveal the secret of the battle from back then, but ended up being killed by the black-robed person just now.

The black-robed person was about to speak out about their organization, but then self-combusted!

No!

Not self-combustion!

But rather killed by the figure before his eyes.

The method to make a Saint King Realm expert die in self-combustion was indeed chilling.

“Have you not already seen me?” The newcomer spoke casually, their eyes flickering with brilliant starlight.

Xiao Yi’s eyebrows knitted.

Seen him?

Where?

An expert from the Unharmed Heaven Realm?

Expert from the Life Heaven Realm?

Or perhaps…

Xiao Yi still couldn’t figure out the other party’s identity, shaking his head to indicate he really couldn’t remember, then said, “Since you won’t tell, I’ll have to personally take off your mask…”

“Are you confident enough to remove my mask?” the newcomer said with a smile.

Xiao Yi casually replied, “We’ll know once we try!”

Just as the words were spoken.

Xiao Yi suddenly took action, the energy in the heavens surged and roared, as Xiao Yi suddenly raised his hand. With five fingers clawing forward, the void suddenly collapsed.

“Five Yin Demon Realm!”

Xiao Yi immediately unleashed a powerful move, five void whirlwinds appeared beside the newcomer, terrifying void storms, sealing all directions.

Making him unable to escape!

Immediately afterward…

Xiao Yi’s figure flashed, like lightning streaking across the sky, heading straight for the newcomer. His physical body was so tough, facing void turbulence and Annihilation Gang Wind he feared not, appearing in front of the opponent in an instant.

“Finger of the Firmament!”

An enormous finger descended from the sky, with a boom, crushing toward this person’s head.

Once crushed by this finger.

Even a Saint King Peak would be heavily injured.

Yet the person showed no fear, with a playful gaze, stepping on the void. A golden light enveloped them, revealing a golden light cauldron, protecting them within: “Do you dare to wager against me? If you can break open my defense, you have the qualification to see my true face!”

“Bet my ass, open it!”

Xiao Yi snorted coldly.

His finger pressed down.

Boom!

In a tremendous crash, the golden light cauldron exploded open.

The newcomer showed a look of surprise for the first time.

Eyes widening.

Clearly not expecting the terrifying power of Xiao Yi’s attack, their expression changed dramatically, and their figure flashed to evade.

However…

As they tried to evade, Xiao Yi’s face suddenly appeared close at hand: “What? When did you get here?”

With a sidelong glance toward the direction Xiao Yi had been standing.

The silhouette gradually dissipated.

It was an afterimage?

“An afterimage?”

The newcomer was incredulous, but it was too late to dodge, with a muffled impact, Xiao Yi shattered the cloak and mask above their head.

The features revealed before Xiao Yi.

Seeing the familiar face, Xiao Yi’s pupils contracted intensely, showing disbelief: “It’s actually you? How is this possible…”
