Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Only the strong at the foot of the mountain had already scattered and fled.

These low-level disciples had long been terrified by the killings and dared not block Xiao Yi's path in the slightest.

Above the Heavenly Ladder.

All of them were at least at the Shentong Realm, among them many powerful figures with golden light circling their bodies, unmistakably from the Golden Core Realm.

Although among the disciples of the Royal Martial Arts Academy, there were only a few dozen with a cultivation level above the Golden Core Realm.

But that was only among the currently enrolled disciples.

Among the strong who had graduated in previous years, there were also many who dominated on their own.

This time, Xiao Yi stormed the Royal Martial Arts Academy, and these strong individuals who had graduated years ago responded by returning one after another.

"His Highness said, if you can reach the end of the Heavenly Ladder, you will see your wife and friends. However, I am afraid you won't make it to the end!" two powerful beings at the Third Layer of the Golden Core Realm sneered continuously.

"Noise!"

Xiao Yi swept across with his sword.

Two blood-drenched heads rolled down, their expressions still locked in a smug sneer.

They simply intended to provoke Xiao Yi; they never expected him to act immediately and take their lives.

"Demon!"

"This man is a Great Demon of our time, kill him!"

"Kill..."

Above the Heavenly Ladder.

With every step Xiao Yi took, opponents charged at him.

A tidal wave of sword and saber radiance merged and surged, rolling furiously towards him.

Xiao Yi walked as though he was the very person who commands the tides, his head held high.

Everywhere he passed, a sword strike would resolve the opponent.

His gaze was fixed on the end of the Heavenly Ladder, for reaching that point meant seeing Fang Qingzhu and the others.

"Xiao Yi, you..."

Two powerful beings at the Peak of the Divine Ability Realm barely began speaking before they were crushed to death under Xiao Yi's foot.

He had no inclination for parley.

Whenever he struck, it was with full force.

A deadly blow!

Instant kill!

An immediate kill...

The opponents in front of him grew stronger, but he was also getting closer to the end of the Heavenly Ladder.

Swish! Swish!

Amid the fierce sound of tearing through the air, a full thirty beings at the Peak of the Divine Ability Realm swarmed toward him, each pair wielding a large metal net. Amidst the clanging sounds, fifteen metal nets were flung toward Xiao Yi, their mesh so tough that even the Fire Qilin Sword could not split it at that moment.

"Die!"

"Xiao Yi, this is the fate of those who defy the authority of the Royal Martial Arts Institute..."

Two strong beings at the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core Realm burst forth from behind the thirty, closely following in order to wait until everyone else had bound Xiao Yi, then they would strike to kill him.

However...

The moment the two appeared...

The layered metal nets in front of them were violently shredded by a burst of crimson sword light; the frigid sword gleam took the lives of those thirty beings at the Divine Ability Realm.

Xiao Yi simultaneously hurled a boulder.

Boom!

The boulder brutally crushed one of the powerful beings at the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core Realm into pieces, while his cold gaze turned to the remaining individual.

That person trembled all over, pupils drastically constricting, the earlier bravado and confidence gone, replaced by horror and fear, and despair, "I, I surrender..."

With an expressionless face, Xiao Yi slashed with his sword, splitting the man in two, walking past him, "Sorry, it's too late!"

Thud!

The powerful being at the Sixth Layer of the Golden Core Realm's body lay in halves on a pool of blood.

Sweeping through.

Xiao Yi had lost count of how many strong beings he had killed; he had completely become a bloodied figure, but the blood was all from his enemies. The pungent stench of blood lingered in the air, nauseating. Xiao Yi looked ahead with pride. There were only the last ten steps to the end of the Heavenly Ladder, "Qingzhu, I'm coming!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, ten figures appeared in front of Xiao Yi.

They were the powerful warriors guarding the last ten levels of the heavenly staircase.

Each of them was above the Seventh Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, including two at the Ninth Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm. All were prominent officials in charge of different regions in the Tianqing Kingdom.

They were once disciples of the Royal Martial Arts Academy.

A woman clad in silver armor, heavily made-up, turned to the man in golden armor beside her, "Big brother, this kid is a tough cookie!"

"With such talent, if he could become a disciple of our Royal Martial Arts Academy, his future prospects would be boundless. Alas... Zhou Xin and Jia Sidao have missed a vital opportunity for our Royal Martial Arts Academy's rise..."

The man in golden armor sighed. He was one of the three great commanders of the Tianqing Kingdom, "But no matter how talented you are, defying our Royal Martial Arts Academy means only one thing— a dead end. Little sister, don't fight with me for his head later..."

"Hahaha, then it's each to their own abilities!" the woman in silver armor laughed.

The man in golden armor grinned, "Let's see who kills him first, then my century-old Ling Monkey Brew will belong to them!"

"I want that wine!"

"No one dare try to steal it from me..."

The ten people were brimming with confidence.

The weakest among them was at the Seventh Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm, and they were all seasoned warriors who had returned from the battlefield. In their eyes, even if they faced someone at the peak of the Golden Elixir Realm, they dared to engage in battle.

"Trade my head for wine?"

Xiao Yi's eyes were filled with a bloody light, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a grim, cold smile, "Let me send you to hell for Meng Po Soup instead!"

Xiao Yi leapt into the air.

Huge stones smashed against the attacks of the few, and amid a series of booming noises, the stele shattered considerably.

And just as their attacks ended.

Xiao Yi swiftly took back his boulder, swung his longsword widely, slashing out a fan-shaped wave of red sword light.

Pfft pfft pfft!

Blood spurted out like fountains.

This sword bisected six people at the waist.

Hisss!

The remaining four took in sharp breaths of cold air. The woman in silver armor, clutching the ghastly wound on her belly, with intestines and blood uncontrollably pouring out, wore a look of utter despair, "Save me... Brother, save me..." Your next chapter is on empire

"Damn..."

The man from the Jin Family's expression changed drastically as he rushed towards her.

Xiao Yi's sword edge was already upon them.

At the critical moment.

The man in golden armor steeled his heart and threw the woman in silver armor towards the sword edge.

"No..."

The woman in silver armor let out a scream of despair as Xiao Yi bisected her with one sword stroke.

The man in golden armor wore a face full of terror; he was the youngest of the three great commanders and could even have become the military's number one in the future.

How could he lose his life here?

The man in golden armor bellowed, "Xiao Yi, I'm leaving now, let me go..."

"Sorry, I don't agree!"

Xiao Yi swung the boulder down fiercely, smashing the man in golden armor from midair while his right hand's Fire Qilin Sword emitted a swirl of fiery sword light. With a crisp pfft, the man in golden armor was cleaved in two, and as his body fell from the sky...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The remaining few also died at the hands of Xiao Yi.

Open space lay before him.

Whew!

Xiao Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air and strode like a dragon and a tiger to the end of the heavenly staircase, and with a thump, he threw the blood-stained gravestone onto the ground.

The whole world trembled with a roar.

At this moment...

The Royal Martial Arts Academy was utterly silent.

Xiao Yi had truly swept through thousands of the Royal Martial Arts Academy's warriors single-handedly and reached the end of the heavenly staircase.

This was something no one had dared to believe beforehand.

But he had indeed done it!

Standing proudly at the end of the heavenly staircase, Xiao Yi surveyed his surroundings and spoke coldly, "Jiang Shanhe, I'm coming for you!"
