Chapter 204: Meteorite-Killing Formation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Demon wolf, return!”
Jiang Yi withdrew the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf and immediately released the Earth Fire. As the Fire Spirit Pearl automatically protected the owner, Jiang Yi controlled that unknown energy and channeled it to his mind. His soul spirit had a burst of golden light, gradually dispersing the red light in his eyes and allowed him to withdraw from the Ma.s.sacre Intent state.
“Eh?”
Zhan Wushuang, who was running over and preparing to put down Jiang Yi, paused and asked with confusion, “Jiang Yi, has your Ma.s.sacre Intent entered the third rank? You can now enter and exit as you please?”
“Not really!”
Jiang Yi shook his head and didn’t explain much as the Fire Spirit Pearl had this very strange energy that he didn’t know how to explain to Zhan Wushuang. Jiang Yi could feel his body feeling frail as he said, “Let’s go quickly and leave this place. Wait till I recover before we kill again!”
Zhan Wushuang nodded and began to travel underground with Jiang Yi and Yun Fei, hiding at the other side of the forest. Yun Fei controlled the tree roots to block out all the entrances. Even if someone wielded a heaven artifact that could easily cut the tree roots, they still wouldn’t be able to catch up within this short period of time.
“This… this…”
Many individuals arrived at the surface above—as many as a thousand. When they saw the horrific scene, they were all stunned. The people that escaped might have explained the situation, but everyone remained doubtful about two individuals killing over 600 enemies in such a short period of time? There were over twenty Soul Travel Realm experts, right?
“There is something bizarre about this forest!”
One of the Soul Travel Realm experts quickly realized it when he drew his spirit artifact and hacked at the huge tree before he burst out, “Everyone, gather. Find someone to go out and inform the Fourth Highness. Request for all the experts with heaven and saint artifacts to make a move and clear out this Ghost Woods first!”
The rest of the Soul Travel Realm experts had also responded similarly and attempted to hack at the yellow trees which yielded the same results. Everyone was appalled by this finding while one of the Soul Travel Realm experts quickly listened to the report from the surviving peak-stage Purple Mansion Realm fighters. He then shouted, “Immediately go and report to Fourth Highness. Just say… Princess Yun Fei might be with Jiang Yi… and inform him of the situation here. Ask him to request Young Lady Shui to use the saint artifact; otherwise, we will all die here.”
“Princess Yun Fei!”
Many clansmen from the great clans of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom frowned. They knew that there were two factions in the royal clan that were in internal strife. It was also precisely because Yun Fei’s elder brother was dead that they obeyed Yun He’s orders without any hesitation. Right now, with Yun Fei involved, they were naturally having some second thoughts.
No one dared to move around recklessly and remained in place while raising their alertness. With so many people here, they expected that even Jiang Yi wouldn’t dare to launch a sneak attack on them. As soon as Yun He and Shui Qianrou destroy this Ghost Woods, Jiang Yi would be like a turtle trapped in a jar.
“Swis.h.!.+”
However, these people were flabbergasted when they saw the two martial artists who went out to report quickly returning. Moreover, the two had an astonished expression when they saw everyone.
The two of them reacted quickly and looked at each other before exclaiming, “Young Master Ming, Young Master Gu. There are ghosts in this forest, and there is a maze formation. We cannot get out of here. We were walking in the direction towards the exit, but as we walked… we came back again!”
“Nonsense!”
The Soul Travel Realm expert didn’t believe their words and personally went to look for Yun He. As a result—30 minutes later, he quickly returned and had a shocked expression when he saw everyone.
“This is a natural maze formation, or is it done by Princess Yun Fei?” Everyone was confused, but there were even more who were frightened. Things of the unknown always put fear in people’s heart.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
Right at this moment, a figure came rus.h.i.+ng over while numerous crossbow bolts accompanied this figure as it shot at the group.
“Jiang Yi!”
Many of the Soul Travel Realm experts’ eyes shrunk as they burst towards Jiang Yi. One of them had this dull yellow glow on his body as he roared, “Meteorite-Killing Formation!”
“Hu-Hu!”
Several large boulders appeared above Jiang Yi’s head and fell down with horrifying prowess. Jiang Yi’s eyes shrank as this was the first time he saw such sorcery, but it didn’t seem to be powerful—he wasn’t afraid of it. Jiang Yi drew out the Black Scale Sword and brandished at those giant boulders, turning it into dust.
“Die!”
Jiang Yi had been delayed by the falling boulders, which allowed several Soul Travel Realm experts to quickly catch up while they released countless saber, sword, and finger forces.
“Go!”
Jiang Yi rode on the demon wolf and tried to escape. At this moment, the surface of the ground suddenly trembled. The Silver-Moon Demon Wolf suddenly shook and almost threw Jiang Yi off. He looked below while his expression immediately changed. It was apparently a type of mystical sorcery. The sorcery of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom was indeed formidable.
At this crucial moment, his mind had some thoughts as he shouted, “Silver-Moon Demon Wolf, withdraw! Devil Sky Silk, emerge!”
Just as the several essence forces were about to hit them, the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf suddenly vanished from mid-air and entered the s.p.a.ce within the spirit beast talisman. Long silver silk appeared by the side of Jiang Yi while he burst up and spun in mid-air—using the Devil Sky Silk to swiftly wrap his entire body.
“Boom-Boom!””Clang-Clang!””Tsk-Tsk!”
Multiple essence force whizzed over and struck on Jiang Yi who was wrapped by the Devil Sky Silk. The strong impact blasted him several feet away, cras.h.i.+ng through two trees before he rolled on the ground for a few rounds.
“Dead?”
They all saw Jiang Yi wrapped in long silver silk and was lying motionless. All the Soul Travel Realm experts blinked their eyes as they looked at each other with suspicion.
Even though Jiang Yi was motionless and was. .h.i.t by such a strong force, they believed that even a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert would be dead after all those attacks; but no one dared to recklessly approach.
“Swis.h.!.+”
One of them lifted their hand and released an essence force attack. The rest of them woke up as they realized something—all the sixty Soul Travel Realm experts released their essence force to blast at Jiang Yi. Dozens of essence force were shot out like sky-covering arrows while the surface of the ground shook violently from the blasts. From their perspective—no matter how tough this silver long silk’s defenses were, Jiang Yi would still be dead from the tremors, right?
“Boom-Boom…”
The explosions constantly lingered in the ear while the surrounding surface was blasted into a tragic sight and in a complete disorder. The entire surface was covered in dust and dirt while the mud was blown up for at least two to three meters deep, revealing the hideous yellow tree roots. While Jiang Yi was being blasted around, the silver long silk continued to radiate with light but didn’t suffer any damage.
“Let’s go and take a look!”
After a series of explosions, a Soul Travel Realm expert gestured with his hand, indicating for everyone to surround the blast site. All of these Soul Travel Realm experts looked at one another while no one dared to move. Finally, a young master wearing splendid robes snorted. “Everyone, go over. So what if he isn’t dead? Can he kill all of us?”
This young master, who dressed splendidly, was obviously a descendant of a great aristocratic clan from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. With his prowess, he commanded the sixty Soul Travel Realm experts to gradually advance towards Jiang Yi.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
Just at this timing, the tree roots beside Jiang Yi suddenly distorted, revealing a huge hole. A vine emerged to wrap around Jiang Yi, pulling him into the ground.
“En?”
All of these Soul Travel Realm experts were about 10 to 12 meters away from Jiang Yi. When they saw Jiang Yi being pulled into the ground, they instinctively burst forth and rushed into the hole.
Yun He gave his promise that whoever that took down Jiang Yi would definitely be a great general lord after he ascended to the throne. It was natural that they didn’t want to let an already-cooked duck fly away.
Half of them were rather intelligent and didn’t just rush into the underground recklessly. They had already heard of the previous incident when over a dozen Soul Travel Realm experts rushed into the underground hole and never made it back.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
After the thirty over Soul Travel Realm experts entered the underground hole, the entrance of the hole was quickly closed up as the tree roots s.h.i.+fted, blocking the entrance of the hole in just a few blinks of the eye. Everyone on the surface had a change in expression as they gasped a breath of cold air. This was indeed a trap, and the Soul Travel Realm experts that went in were probably going to be buried forever.
The splendidly-dressed young master, who had the prestige, suddenly closed his mouth like a giant beast when he saw the hole being shut by the tree roots. He fearfully exclaimed, “Retreat, everyone, retreat! We cannot stay in one place; otherwise, we are all going to die. Everyone, start running and wait for His Highness to rescue us. Everyone, don’t be afraid! If we don’t exit from the forest after a long time, His Highness will definitely be suspicious and will make his move soon. Young Lady Shui has a saint artifact that could easily destroy this Ghost Woods. Everyone, persevere for a moment; and victory will still belong to us.”
