Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Grandma Silver Flower had been inflicted with grievous injuries and was about to be killed. The blood red demon king had also suffered serious injuries was probably going to be killed by Patriarch Ling effortlessly. The Great Xia Kingdom was about to lose two of their influential combatants. The Ling Clan’s Patriarch was too powerful, and Jiang Xiaonu didn’t dare to clash head-on with him. If Jiang Yi didn’t appear now, the battle was going to be lopsided.
Would Jiang Yi appear?
Jiang Xiaonu was uncertain. Before Jiang Yi left, he said that he might be back within a month or even three months. Jiang Xiaonu didn’t dare to take the best, but she couldn’t look on as Grandma Silver Flower and the others die. She had no choice but to give up on killing Princ.i.p.al Yu and the Hundred Blossom Lady. She flew up and killed her way towards Xiao Longw.a.n.g.
“Eh?”
When Xiao Longw.a.n.g felt that horrific aura presence coming from Jiang Xiaonu’s body, he quickly let out a surprised gasp. His halberd shook and didn’t continue thrusting towards Grandma Silver Flower anymore. It drew in an arch and cleaved at Jiang Xiaonu’s head.
“Longw.a.n.g, don’t clash head-on with her. Her claws are very formidable and can destroy saint artifacts. Delay her first!”
A voice echoed in Xiao Longw.a.n.g’s ear. His eyes withdrew as he looked at Patriarch Ling with bewilderment. He quickly retreated and released his essence force attacks while roaming around.
“Die—!”
The plan that Patriarch Ling devised wasn’t bad. As long as they could delay Jiang Xiaonu, he would be able to kill off all the reinforcements from the Great Xia Kingdom. By then, there would be nothing to fear even if Jiang Yi appeared. He raised his hand and shot out eight finger forces, like eight unstoppable sharp swords towards the blood red demon king.
Roar! Roar!
The blood red demon king roared with rage while it tried to dodge to the side with haste. Then again, it was seriously injured, and its speed had been greatly reduced. How was it going to dodge when this Patriarch Ling was so powerful and had the strength of a peak-stage Vajra Realm martial expert?
“Pfff! Pfff!”
The demon king did its best and could only dodge six of the finger forces, but two of them still struck on its body. It originally thought that it wouldn’t be a major problem, but once the finger forces entered its body, it knew it was bad. The finger forces contained violent energy which would explode once in the body. The explosion injured its bones and innards, which aggravated its already seriously injured body, making it completely immobile now.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Patriarch Ling shot out a few more finger forces. The blood red demon king couldn’t dodge anymore and let out a mournful roar.
Pong! Pong!
Two finger forces penetrated the blood red demon king’s spirit protection, blasting its head into pieces. The ma.s.sive body suddenly collapsed on the ground resulting in immediate death.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
When the white ape demon king saw that the blood red demon king had perished, it let out a sorrowful roar. Princ.i.p.al Yu and the Hundred Blossom Lady’s eyes instantly lit up as they abruptly shot out their strongest attacks. They took the chance when the white ape demon king was distracted and blasted it away. The snow-white pelt was filled with blood, and the white bones were visible on the large legs.
Roar! Roar!
The white ape demon king had been severely injured, but it activated the inner beast nature in itself. It didn’t flee and burst towards its enemies instead. It desperately attacked at Princ.i.p.al Yu as though it was trying to kill Princ.i.p.al Yu even at the cost of its own life.
“Hmph! A beast dares to act so arrogantly?”
Patriarch Ling’s eyes flickered as it flew towards the white ape. At the same time, he transmitted a message to Hundred Blossom Lady: “Hundred Blossom Lady, go and kill Grandma Silver Flower!”
“Why me?”
The Hundred Blossom Lady from Centaurea College muttered with resentment. Even if the Heaven Mystics Kingdom gave the announcement of banis.h.i.+ng Grandma Silver Flower, anyone who killed her would certainly cause the Heaven Mystics Kingdom to bear a grudge on them. Patriarch Ling was rather clever and let her be a scapegoat.
Right now, she didn’t dare to go against Patriarch Ling and had no choice but to grit her teeth and kill Grandma Silver Flower below.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
In mid-air, Jiang Xiaonu had been chasing after Xiao Longw.a.n.g relentlessly, but the latter wasn’t slow since he was at the seventh stage of the Vajra Realm. He constantly released his essence force attacks to obstruct Jiang Xiaonu. The two of them scuttled around in mid-air, drawing out afterimages. Jiang Xiaonu didn’t have any way to kill Xiao Longw.a.n.g.
“Hu-Hu…”
Jiang Xiaonu took a glance at the surrounding situation and saw that the white ape was about to be killed while Grandma Silver Flower was struggling to stay alive. It probably wouldn’t take much time before she would be killed by the Hundred Blossom Lady. The situation had been completely reversed, and she wouldn’t be able to support this entire battle by herself. Most importantly… her transformation duration was almost up. If she still didn’t flee now, then no one would be able to flee alive.
She looked to the north, and after confirming that Jiang Yi wasn’t going to return, she let out a helpless sigh before she suddenly turned and flew towards Su Ruoxue.
“En?”
Xiao Longw.a.n.g and Su Ruoxue were both astonished. Patriarch Ling—who was in far away—also slightly surprised, but he didn’t have any suspicion since Jiang Yi had yet to appear.
“Xiaonu!”
Seeing Jiang Xiaonu rus.h.i.+ng towards her, Su Ruoxue had a bad premonition. Her strength was too weak, and she could only see a blurred vision and a slight pain in the back of her head before she went unconscious.
Buzz!
The Green Clear Vase lit up in Jiang Xiaonu’s hand, which caused Su Ruoxue to disappear. Jiang Xiaonu’s wings flapped quickly before she shot towards the south like a sharp sword, leaving behind the stunned generals of the Great Xia Kingdom.
“Escaped?”
Many of the people blinked their eyes with confusion. Even Patriarch Ling couldn’t even react, especially Grandma Silver Flower who was even more astonished. Jiang Xiaonu actually left behind everyone and fled with Su Ruoxue?
Jiang Xiaonu had indeed escaped!
She had a simple mind and didn’t overthink. Jiang Yi instructed her to protect Su Ruoxue, and her only thought was to protect Su Ruoxue. She didn’t even bother about the lives of others or the fate of the Great Xia Kingdom. In fact, apart from Jiang Yunhai, Jiang Yi, and the little fox, she didn’t care about anyone else.
Jiang Yunhai, Zhan Wushuang, Qian w.a.n.guan, Yun Fei, and Su Ruoxue were all put inside the Green Clear Vase by her. This battle situation wasn’t going to be reversed, and what else could she do but flee? She couldn’t be staying behind to wait for death, right? If Jiang Yi was around, she wouldn’t have escaped; but the problem was that Jiang Yi wasn’t there.
Grandma Silver Flower was speechless, and the white ape was abnormally enraged. Right now, they didn’t have any way to escape and could only struggle to stay alive.
“d.a.m.n! We are tricked! Jiang Yi isn’t in the city!”
Patriarch Ling was also an emperor back in the days, and his mind thought very quickly. He immediately realized it and muttered for a moment before yelling, “Longw.a.n.g, kill everyone here and leave no one behind. I will go pursue that young la.s.s.”
Swis.h.!.+
His body turned into a stream of light as he shot towards the south and across the Summer Rain City. As he had expected, Jiang Yi didn’t appear.
“Jiang Yi is not in the city!”
Xiao Longw.a.n.g realized it quickly and burst out with a roar, “All troops advance and raze Summer Rain City to the ground. Old Yu, the rest of you will kill Grandma Silver Flower and the demon king. I will work together with Sha Di and kill that Yazi Beast.”
The Soul Travel Realm experts quickly realized it and rushed towards the city with rage. Soon enough, they were locked in an intense battle with the soldiers in Summer Rain City. Xiao Longw.a.n.g rose up and worked together with Sha Di to attack the Yazi Beast. The two of them were very powerful, and if they worked together, the Yazi Beast was definitely going to die.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
The city walls in the Summer Rain City were destroyed, and thousands of Soul Travel Realm experts in the alliance army attacked without any fear. Su Ruoxue had escaped, Jiang Xiaonu had escaped. The soldiers and commoners of the city were in a state of panic and had no more willpower to resist.
The citizens fled towards the south, east, and west gates. The entire city was in chaos while there were plenty of Soul Travel Realm experts that rushed in. They recklessly released their essence force attacks, which accidentally killed groups of commoners in the city, turning the Summer Rain City into a living h.e.l.l.
One of Old General Lu’s arms had been severed, and he was drenched in blood. He looked at the disastrous Summer Rain City before looking at the sky. He let out a bitter sigh and said, “Regent, where are you? If you don’t come back now, all your people are going to be killed!”
Unfortunately…
Old General Lu’s prayers didn’t come true, and Jiang Yi wasn’t a deity who could appear at any moment.
The ma.s.sacre was still going on, and the severely suppressed Soul Travel Ream experts vented out all the hatred and resentment on the citizens of the Summer Rain City. In just 15 minutes, half of the Summer Rain City had been destroyed, and most of the soldiers in the city were dead. More than half of the commoners were killed, and the Summer Rain City had turned into ruins.
Outside the city, the white ape had been killed, and Grandma Silver Flower’s speed had been reduced by more than two folds. Her body was covered in blood, and if it wasn’t for the Hundred Blossom Lady who feared the retribution from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, Grandma Silver Flower would have been dead by now. The enraged roars of the Yazi Beast could be heard constantly, and it seemed like… it wasn’t going to last much longer!
“My late king, Lu Jian will come and accompany you now!”
Old General Lu had suffered three or four injuries and was no longer able to stand anymore. The corner of his mouth revealed a brutal smile as he wanted to draw his longsword across his neck to commit suicide.
Right at this moment—!
A burst of roar suddenly echoed from the northwest direction which caused Old General Lu’s body to shake vigorously. His eyes of despair suddenly lit up with energy, like a withering flower which suddenly blossomed again.
“Jiang Yi is here! Everyone, stop! Or I will sever eighteen generations of your descendants!”
