Chapter 1640: Nowhere to Flee
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Run, run, run!”
Having more than ten broken bones and skin all burned, every move Dao Feng made would trigger these injuries as he was filled with excruciating pain. The pain was so hard to bear that he was grimacing in pain as his entire body convulsed. However, he still kept on running. He knew that if he didn’t find a way to escape, he was going to die today.
“Elder Hong, save me!”
He saw someone running ahead to the left as he looked and identified that person, yelling out loud. That King-Ranked formidable martial artist looked back once and then saw the lumbering mummy as he gritted his teeth, ignored Dao Feng, and continued running.
Plop!
Dao Feng’s body grew weak as he fell on the ground as he turned his head abruptly and looked at the ever-closing mummy. He saw Jiang Yi’s icy-cold eyes as he shouted again, “Jiang Yi, you cannot kill me. I know my mistake; I know I was wrong. As long as you spare my life, you can ask for anything. I can give you a hundred million divine roots; I can give you Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasures. I can even bring you to my clan’s Primordial Mystic Realm to cultivate for a month, no, a year…!”
Swis.h.!.+
The mummy rushed forward like a strong wind as its body leaped, and a huge leg stomped down heavily on Dao Feng’s head. Dao Feng’s head shook vigorously as he could only see black. His head was about to be split open, and he didn’t even have the energy to cry out anymore. He could only watch as the mummy’s leg stomped down once again as he closed his eyes feebly; he didn’t resist anymore.
Boom!
The mummy’s leg heavily slammed on Dao Feng’s brain and crushed it as Dao Feng’s soul spirit disintegrated.
Dao Feng was dead!
One interspatial ring and white battle armor floated out as Jiang Yi leaped forward and grabbed hold of these two items. He was adamant on killing Dao Feng precisely to get hold of his Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure battle armor. Dao Feng’s weapon also seemed to be a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure, right?
“Great item!”
He held onto the battle armor as he looked at it in detail and nodded to himself. He casually released some burning flames to incinerate Dao Feng’s body, and he kept the ring and battle armor. Jiang Yi looked around him and could see a few men escaping far away.
“Forget it!”
Jiang Yi chose not to pursue them anymore. All the young masters and young mistresses had fled, and only some bodyguards were left. He had also already killed a few King-Ranked bodyguards, and his rage had been satiated more or less. More importantly, he didn’t have much Power of Heaven and Earth left; and he wanted to conserve it.
“Let’s go and take the other treasure box.”
Jiang Yi’s gaze turned towards the other stone stage far away as he leaped up into the mummy’s claw once again and injected some Power of Heaven and Earth. That mummy leaped and went straight for the stone stage. It only took two steps to reach the thousand-foot high stone stage. It then jumped one more time as it swiped the other treasure box.
Swis.h.!.+
The mummy then jumped back down as Jiang Yi injected heavenly powers into this treasure box. It actually opened easily. However, Jiang Yi took a look at it as he suddenly grew downcast. There wasn’t a treasure in it; it was but a scroll.
“Could it be a mystical ability or secret art?”
Jiang Yi retrieved the scroll as he hurriedly read it a few times and was utterly disappointed. The scroll indeed contained a secret art. Jiang Yi took a look and realized that it was very complicated; it was going to be very hard to cultivate.
Jiang Yi already possessed many mystical abilities and secret arts such as the Divine Sound Laws, the Art of Concealment, Baneful Aura, Merged Flames, and others. He didn’t actually want more of such mystical abilities and secret arts but wanted treasures that could raise his strength and level of attainment. If he relied too much on mystical abilities and secret arts; it might actually negatively affect his cultivation and level of attainment.
Jiang Yi deposited this scroll into his interspatial ring as he took out the other treasure box. He was even more disappointed. It was yet another scroll containing a very complicated secret art.
“The treasure boxes actually didn’t contain the Demon-Killing Sword and Demon-Killing Armor?”
Jiang Yi had thought that these two treasure boxes were so hard to get to—they definitely contained either the Demon-Killing Sword or Demon-Killing Armor. He even thought that the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch was the mysterious elder in the Fire Dragon Sword and that perhaps the Demon-Killing Sword was a part of the Fire Dragon Sword and once merged could make the latter even more powerful.
Buzz!
Poison Spirit flashed and appeared as he cupped his hands and reported, “Young Lord, everyone has fled. All of them have entered a side hall to the left. The young mistress in yellow has gone to a side hall to the north.”
“Let’s forget about them.”
Jiang Yi nodded as Poison Spirit’s ring lit up, and a few other rings appeared together with a few battle armors and weapons. A hexagonal jade talisman was part of the collection as well. Jiang Yi took the jade talisman over as he kept the rest of the items inside his ring. He looked at it curiously and asked, “What is this talisman? Do you know, Poison Spirit?”
“I do not.” Poison Spirit shook his head and said. He thought for a moment and said, “General might know, though.”
Buzz!
Jiang Yi let Qi Qingchen out. Qi Qingchen looked about as she asked happily, “Eh? Jiang Yi, they have all retreated?”
Jiang Yi nodded slightly. Poison Spirit, however, was very agitated as he said, “General, Young Lord was very imposing and powerful. He killed many people; that Young Master Dao Feng had also died at his hand. The others, however, have all fled.”
“This…”
Qi Qingchen’s face changed quickly as she looked at the mummy at the side and asked, “Jiang Yi, did you really kill Dao Feng? What is this mummy? Is it a Mighty G.o.d Race mummy?”
“En, this is the Mighty G.o.d Race’s mummy. I used it to kill them.” Jiang Yi nodded and explained.
“We’re in big trouble!
Qi Qingchen’s eyes flashed as she said seriously, “Jiang Yi, you do not understand the Heaven Domain factions very well. There are four Supreme Thearchs; they are the most powerful formidable martial artists in the Heaven Domain. Each of them has many clans under their charge, and the Dao Clan is the number-one clan under the Azure Supreme Thearch. Once Dao Feng dies, the Dao Clan would definitely find out. Perhaps even at this very moment, they have already sent out formidable martial artists to come here to the Chaos Sea.”
“Let them send whoever they want to.”
Jiang Yi’s brows rose as he said coldly, “Dao Feng wanted to kill us repeatedly. If I hadn’t refined the mummy this time, we would all be dead. Since he wanted to kill us, why can’t we kill him? Would the Dao Clan dare to pursue us all the way to the Earth Domain?”
“To the Earth Domain? That’s not possible.”
Qi Qingchen answered firmly. “The four Supreme Thearchs have strict orders; no Heaven Domain great family clan is allowed to go to the Earth Domain and kill indiscriminately. If someone does that, he would be killed regardless of reason. My concern now is… we might not be able to return to the Earth Domain now. I’m afraid that once we leave the Demon-Killing Palace, the entire Chaos Sea would be filled with Heaven Domain formidable martial artists. Furthermore, the men guarding the Teleportation Formations back to the Earth Domain are all theirs; how could we head back?”
“So serious?”
Jiang Yi’s face changed. If they could not return to the Earth Domain, they could only hide within the Chaos Sea. However, if many from the Heaven Domain were to come, they would be found out sooner or later and be hunted.
“Pseudo Thearch-Ranked…”
Jiang Yi suddenly thought of what Dao Zhan said as he asked curiously, “Someone from the Dao Clan had said they have three Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists. Are they strong?”
“Extremely!”
Qi Qingchen sighed softly and explained, “The Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists are but a step away from being Thearch-Ranked. It is said that one strike from them could destroy a small domain. If a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artist from the Dao Clan was to come, we would have nowhere to flee.”
