Chapter 1613: Killed Another King-Ranked Martial Artist
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ordinarily, any family clan could send bodyguards to protect their young masters and young mistresses, but they were not the best martial artists in the clan.
Unless a Clan Head was r.e.t.a.r.ded, he would realize that all their best martial artists would have their own pride. Why would they agree to follow a bunch of young children around all day? Thus, these four formidable martial artists were not considered that powerful. That explained why… the moment the six-colored Merged Flames appeared, they became part of a tragedy.
The moment the flames appeared, the four of them felt its prowess. At that moment, all of them were sure that if they did not escape at once, they would be burned alive. Even if they managed to escape, they were not sure that they would be able to keep their lives. Thus, they reacted in the same way as Heavenly King You did back then: they were in conflict.
They were already so close to Jiang Yi. If they followed through with their attacks, there was a high chance that they would be able to kill Jiang Yi. Of course, in the end, they would perish as well. If they tried to escape, there was also a possibility that they would die. It was a difficult choice to make. At last, three people decided to escape; they did not want to risk their lives. All of them thought that a small character like Jiang Yi was not worth them losing their lives over.
One person decided to give it all that he had. A thought crossed his mind that killing Jiang Yi would deal with the flames at once. Then, his chances of surviving would increase.
“Green Mountain Ax!”
He used the huge ax in his hand to strike Jiang Yi. At the same time, a fire-repelling pearl appeared in his other hand. He wanted to give it all he had because he had this fire-repelling pearl. He thought that the pearl would be able to defend him for two more seconds.
Crack!
He was too naive. The fire-repelling pearl immediately fell apart. His ax, however, continued to fly towards Jiang Yi, striking him and causing him to fly back at once. Even the burning Sword Emanations Race beings behind him were knocked out of the way, forming a vacuum belt.
“Not dead?”
His eyes filled with shock. He had used all his energy to make that move, and yet Jiang Yi did not die. There was only one explanation: Jiang Yi was extremely strong; not weaker than himself.
The astonishment in his eyes quickly turned to panic. The six-colored Merged Flames were not a type of mystical ability; they were real flames. They would not dissipate just because Jiang Yi had been knocked back. Even if Jiang Yi were killed, the flames would still be there.
“Ah—”
There was no time left for him to escape. His body was enveloped by the flames flying towards him. The terrifying temperatures caused his entire body to combust into flames.
He writhed and struggled in midair, screaming from the deepest recesses of his gut. He was being reduced to ash in front of everybody. At last, all that remained were his Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor and an interspatial ring. His huge ax also floated in midair.
“Ah, Ah—!”
“Young Mistress, save me!”
“Young Master, run!”
Countless shouts and screams could be heard all around. The spike in temperature caused by the six-colored Merged Flames was too terrifying. All the Sword Emanations Race beings were burning as well, and the white clouds within a five-thousand-kilometer radius were all gone by now. The terrifying temperatures were causing ripples to appear in the air. The sand on the island was now red, and the plants were all burned down. More than half of the ten thousand odd formidable martial artists were still on the island. They writhed and struggled in the air as well, as their shouts turned to chilling screams which pierced through the heavens.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
The three remaining King-Ranked martial artists guarded the few young masters and young mistresses and immediately backed away. They heard the chilling screams and watched as their subordinates and clansmen burned alive. All of their faces were devoid of color. The two young mistresses were trembling nonstop.
Swish, swis.h.!.+
In a panic, Uncle Qiang and the others escaped as fast as they could. Uncle Qiang was smart; he did not go near Jiang Yi so he did not sustain serious injuries. The three other formidable martial artists, however, had charred skin. There was no surface on their faces that was left unharmed. If they had not escaped as soon as they could, they might have been burned alive as well.
“Escaping?”
A cold voice echoed throughout the surroundings. Jiang Yi was flying towards them from afar, his killing intent surging. He fixed his gaze on the young masters and young mistress and shouted in a heavy tone, “Today, all of you must die. On this day next year, people will celebrate the death anniversary of all of you useless young masters. As for you two beauties, I will take you as my concubines.”
As Jiang Yi flew, he kept releasing Sword Emanations Race beings which followed closely behind him. The six-colored Merged Flames kept burning in his hand. The temperature of the surroundings was alternating between high and low, and his eyes were colored red. His red hair flowed behind him, where the Sword Emanations Race beings were. At that moment, Jiang Yi looked like an undefeatable Death G.o.d.
“Uh?”
Uncle Qiang and the others exchanged a meaningful look. At first, their own killing intents surged. However, after a while, they calmed back down.
Jiang Yi was just a Demon-Killing Battle G.o.d. Yet, their impressions of him kept changing. Demon-Killing Battle G.o.ds were so different from King-Ranked martial artists; as different as heaven and earth, or as a huge dragon and an ant.
Yet this ant had just killed one of the huge dragons. The huge dragon managed to strike the ant, but the ant did not even get injured. Everybody’s hearts were racing. n.o.body knew what else Jiang Yi had up his sleeves. What if he killed all the young masters and young mistresses?
“Retreat…”
Although the remaining King-Ranked martial artists wanted to kill Jiang Yi, they were afraid that something untoward would happen to their young masters and young mistresses. Thus, they exchanged a look and decided to retreat. There were many other formidable martial artists in Random Star City. They could find another time to take revenge. Their young masters and young mistresses, however, could not afford to get injured.
Swis.h.!.+
Immediately, the King-Ranked martial artists led the eight young masters and young mistresses away at top speed. Those t.i.tled G.o.d Thearchs and t.i.tled Battle G.o.ds who were lucky enough to survive also escaped in all directions. Jiang Yi suddenly stopped in midair and waited for a couple of seconds. Then, fresh blood poured out of his mouth.
That’s right!
He had only been scaring those King-Ranked martial artists. Otherwise, these people might give the fight all they got, and he might have died on the spot. In fact, more than half of the bones in his body had already been broken. The good thing was that divine senses did not work in this place; otherwise, his condition would have been exposed earlier.
The King-Ranked martial artist had given that strike all the strength he had. Even though Jiang Yi had a Primitive Spiritual Treasure wrapped around his body and his physical strength was comparable to a King-Ranked martial artist, he still could not avoid getting injured. They were too close to each other. If not for his Mighty G.o.d Technique and the Power of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Yi might have been knocked dead.
Buzz!
The Chaos Essence Pearl in his hand flashed, and the Poison Spirit was summoned out. Jiang Yi faced the Poison Spirit and said, “Keep all the treasures and then leave this place at once. We must hide about at least five hundred thousand kilometers away.”
Once he finished speaking, Jiang Yi swallowed several doses of recuperation medicine and closed his eyes. He had pa.s.sed out. This scared the Poison Spirit half to death. The Poison Spirit quickly used his heavenly powers to heal Jiang Yi before sending him into his spatial divine item.
Ss, ss!
The Poison Spirit looked around and saw the ground littered with corpses, and the air filled with treasures. There were still many Sword Emanations Race beings in flames. He sucked in several deep breaths. From the devastation in front of him, he could only imagine how intense the battle was.
“Primitive Spiritual Treasure?”
The Poison Spirit’s eyes quickly landed on the ax and battle armor. There were two Primitive Spiritual Treasures? He quickly flew over and kept the treasures, his expression extremely solemn.
Only King-Ranked martial artists could possess this many Primitive Spiritual Treasures. Jiang Yi must have killed another King-Ranked martial artist earlier. What’s more, that was a King-Ranked martial artist from a family clan in the Heaven Domain. The Poison Spirit wondered if those young masters and young mistresses had been killed as well. Whatever it was, he could be sure that there would be trouble ahead.
“Flee!”
Jiang Yi asked the Poison Spirit to hide five hundred thousand kilometers away. However, the Poison Spirit felt that this was not far enough. If he had known how to return to the Earth Domain, he would have taken them all back at once.
He knew that in a little longer, the entire Chaos Sea would be turned upside down. If they did not find a secret place to hide, the three of them would perish.
