Chapter 871: Tantai s.h.i.+
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Song He. Take ten men and bring the madam, Young Master, and Young Lady to escape. We will fend off the bandits!”
Before Jiang Yi got near, he could hear a resounding burst roar from over there. A middle-aged man led the remaining two hundred martial artists and rushed at the bandit legion at the front. They were all desperately launching their strongest attacks and had disregarded evasion and defense.
“Hahaha, thinking of escaping? This Commander hasn’t tasted a fresh beauty in three months. If you all surrender obediently, I can spare your lives. Otherwise, all of you will be killed without mercy!”
The bandit legion’s commander was a skinny and pet.i.te black man, and he was wearing blue battle armor. He revealed rapacious and depraved eyes while he was wielding a green flexible sword. Every time he brandished the sword, sword lights would fly out while unending waves struck at the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p’s barrier.
When he saw ten individuals preparing to rush into the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p and escaping with those women and children, his eyes revealed a trace of mockery. His flexible sword flourished with light as razor-sharp sword lights were sent out and enveloping those ten individuals.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Bandits were very ferocious, and since they could be bandits, they must have constantly battled and were fearless of death. Right now, this type of abusing battles was their favorite. Everyone had turned into rainbows as they scattered throughout the sky and released the strongest ability, killing all the two hundred martial artists who rushed at them.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
There were too many bandits while there was one high-stage Heaven Monarch and dozens of middle-stage Heaven Monarchs. It was useless even if those two hundred martial artists fought with their lives on the line. After two waves of attack, another one hundred divine s.h.i.+elds were ruptured; and their bodies exploded into blood mist.
“We are done for…”
The middle-aged man, who burst out with a roar, had revealed a trace of despair. He looked at the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p and howled with pain, “Madam, Young Lady, Young Master. Song Zhong is incapable and cannot protect you…”
Boom! Boom!
Of those ten individuals who were preparing to rush into the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p, nine of them had their divine s.h.i.+elds destroyed and were killed by the bandit commander. Their bodies were immediately severed into mince, and it was an appalling sight. The only person who was fortunate enough to escape didn’t dare to approach the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p anymore.
The bandit commander’s eyes revealed red light as he yelled out excitedly, “Kill, kill all the men! This Commander only wants the most beautiful woman and the rest are for all of you to share!”
“Wa! Wa! Wa!”
The bandits were instantly invigorated. There were eight women on the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p, and there was one young married woman who had good looks and an outstanding figure. The rest of the women were obviously servant girls, but they looked rather impressive too, making these bandits extremely excited.
“Hmph!”
Right at this moment, there was a domineering grunt that echoed from the east. As the voice was injected with essence force, it blasted up like thunder in everyone’s ears. A stream of light flew over rapidly from the east, which had a powerful mountain-like aura presence, astounding valor, and terrifying might.
“En?”
The bandit commander had stopped attacking as his eyes were looking towards the east with restraining fear. The rest of the bandits had also stopped attacking while the martial artists on the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p didn’t even move an inch. The person arriving had an overwhelming aura presence and was obviously a peak-stage Heaven Monarch expert.
The one who was arriving was obviously Jiang Yi, and his aura presence was an illusion. The Mirage Divine Ability was very incredible, and let alone imitating peak-stage Heaven Monarch experts, he could even imitate DemiG.o.ds. Just like the time when he transformed into Black Deity at the Endless Deep Sea. Not only was his appearance and aura presence the same, but even his prowess and pressure was also exactly the same, easily allowing him to intimidate countless Demon Thearchs.
Everyone here knew clearly the strength of peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. If they were to infuriate a peak-stage Heaven Monarch expert, everyone was going to die. Hence, no one dared to move.
Jiang Yi flew above everyone, scanned around with cold eyes, and finally ended on the head of the bandit commander. His grim expression revealed a smear of killing aura as he yelled out, “Get lost!”
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
The bandit commander and all the bandits retreated thousands of meters, but the bandit commander actually didn’t escape. Instead, he cupped his hands and smiled apologetically. “My Lord, this one is the Black Flame Legion’s Second Commander, Hei Sha’s brother-in-law. Can my Lord give me some face? Hehe… if my Lord has taken fancy of this young married woman, you can take her away. It will suffice for us to take the rest of the seven women.”
“Black Flame Legion?”
Jiang Yi never even heard of them before, but since this person mentioned their name, it should be a powerful bandit legion in the nearby vicinity. Since he had intended to rescue them, he naturally wouldn’t have any worries. His hand flashed with white light as a black heavy sword appeared while black battle armor appeared outside his body. He casually circulated his essence force, causing the black heavy sword and battle armor to flourish with light and emit appalling aura presence.
Jiang Yi yelled out again, “I am only going to count down to three. Three, two…”
“Pseudo-divine artifact!”
The bandit commander and all the bandits had a huge change in expression. To possess two pseudo-divine artifacts, this peak-stage Heaven Monarch’s combat strength must certainly be terrifying. They immediately cut all the nonsense and turned into streams of light as they flew far away.
“Huuu!”
Jiang Yi let out a silent breath of relief, not because he was fearful of these bandits. If he had to make his move, he would be able to instantly kill hundreds of them; but he would have to expose his true combat strength.
Of course, he didn’t have to expose his ident.i.ty and use the two pseudo-divine artifacts to kill them, but his disguise as a peak-stage Heaven Monarch would be flawed.
These two pseudo-divine artifacts were given by Qian w.a.n.guan, and they were called the Black Iron Heavy Sword and the Black Iron Armor. Qian w.a.n.guan, who was the son-in-law of the Situ Clan, naturally had tons of celestial stones and purchasing two pseudo-divine artifacts was an extremely simple task.
Jiang Yi extended his divine senses, and after making sure that the bandit legion had escaped far away, he withdrew his divine senses and looked below.
The strong man called Song Zhong had already led his men to retrieve all the bodies and severed limbs of the guards, storing them in the spatial ring. The barrier of the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p had been opened, and the eight women on the s.h.i.+p had all flown up. Two of the servant girls carried a child each while the guards went over to the women and followed behind this group of women. They then knelt down to Jiang Yi in mid-air.
The young married woman in the center bowed down and spoke with a soft voice, “This servant, Tantai s.h.i.+, thank my Lord for saving our lives.”
The rest of the guards burst out with yells, too, “Many thanks for my Lord for saving our lives!”
Even the two children had spoken shyly and said, “Thank you, Uncle.”
Jiang Yi’s eyes landed on the young married woman at the center who would be the madam of these people. The woman just happened to stand straight while Jiang Yi looked into her eyes, and his eyes lit up as he was silently praising this remarkably beautiful woman.
This young woman’s age was just over twenty, and she was wearing an emerald green dress. Her hair was tied up into a bun, and she had two green crystals worn on her ears. She had outstandingly good looks and voluptuous figure.
The deepest impression she made was with her slender waist, which had a huge disparity with her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and b.u.t.t, giving an intense visual impact. She had this unique atmosphere as though she was lovely and reliant on others; it felt like her entire body was made with water.
Jiang Yi took a glance and withdrew his eyes. He had too many things to do and didn’t have the mood to womanize. He nodded his head indifferently and spoke grimly, “I am just pa.s.sing by. You have to do your best and fend for yourselves…”
Just as Jiang Yi was about to fly off, the dozens of guards got anxious while Song Zhong gritted his teeth and yelled out, “My Lord, the Black Flame Legion is the strongest bandit legion in the nearby vicinity. If you don’t help us, we will definitely die in less than three days!”
