Chapter 372: Breaking the Formation Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Buzz!
Once the Witch Empress finished giving her orders, Jiang Yi"s body flashed with white light as he vanished. On the next second, he reappeared by the edge of the trap and was rebounded. He finally had this grave expression. This Witch G.o.d"s ancient formation was truly incredible as it could restrict the entire s.p.a.ce, which didn"t allow him to instant-shift.
Yun Fei already knew of this result and looked around in the surroundings. She saw several experts emerging from the army and surrounding the trap in preparations to release the sorcery art. She immediately yelled at Jiang Yi, "Jiang Yi, come back! They are going to release sorcery arts!"
Jiang Yi instant-shifted back and scanned the surroundings. He saw that general guarding the Sage King Residence brought along his soldiers and started to have a dispute with the Witch Empress.
As the Witch Empress wasn"t in control of the formation, it was just the voices from outside that couldn"t be heard anymore. They could clearly see that general shouting and seemingly trying to obstruct the Witch Empress from killing Yun Fei and Yun Xian.
"Pfff…"
It was as though everyone"s heart had this m.u.f.fled sound as Yun Fei and Yun Xian"s eyes dimmed. That general was suddenly sent flying by a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert, and his head was smashed into a pulp.
The Witch Empress had this cold expression, and they could see her berating while the royal guards all backed down. Those Soul Travel Realm experts which originally wanted to make their moves surrounded the palace hall again and started to release their sorcery arts.
"Be careful!"
Yun Fei"s delicate face was all nervous as she scanned from above the ruins of the palace hall. The two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm secret guards each stood by Yun Fei and Yun Xian"s side and looked around with dignified expressions.
Buzz!
The sky suddenly trembled as countless meteorite fell with the sounds of wind and thunder, smashing at everyone with the force of a million kilograms.
Jiang Yi and the two secret guards released their attacks at the same time. Two fire dragons and two essence force attacks were launched upwards, blasting all those meteorites into dust.
Tsk-Tsk!
There were explosions that suddenly came from the ruins below as stone spears shot out. Jiang Yi"s eyes shrank as his body evaded like a wandering dragon. The two secret guards immediately carried Yun Fei and Yun Xian to maneuver around and avoid the attacks.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
Jiang Yi and two Soul Travel Realm secret guards constantly attacked and turned all the stone spears into dust. Before they even had the chance to catch their breath, the wind and clouds in the sky moved as countless lightning struck down, along with plenty of wind blades. It felt as though there were various attacks coming from everywhere.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi didn"t retreat and had to continuously instant-shift. However—no matter where he shifted to, there would be more attacks. Fortunately, this palace hall was big enough and had a radius of several kilometers. The Witch G.o.d"s ancient formation enveloped the entire palace hall, which gave them a lot of s.p.a.ce to evade. Yun Fei"s prompt decision to destroy the palace hall was truly a wise move.
Compared to Jiang Yi, the two secret guards were in agony. The two of them had to carry Yun Fei and Yun Xian, and they had to find ways to protect them. They were naturally in a pathetic state. They had met many dangerous encounters, and if they weren"t desperate enough, they would already be injured.
The Witch Empress was obviously prepared for this plot. All the experts in the royal clan that had sorcery arts were all utilized as there were at least seven or eight of them here. These people would constantly release their sorcery arts and coordinated their attacks. The Witch Empress raised a scepter high up which would be constantly emitting light while controlling this Witch G.o.d"s ancient formation.
"There is such a huge commotion over here. Why didn"t anyone inform King Father? Grandma Silver Flower should already be here, right?"
Yun Fei"s shapely brows knitted closely and had this puzzled expression. In her opinion—if the king didn"t come today, she, Jiang Yi, and the rest would have to die without any burial grounds.
When she thought about the Witch Empress, Yun Fei"s heart sank. The Witch Empress had abnormally high wisdom, and if Yun Fei wasn"t adored by her king father, the siblings would have long been dead. Heaven Mystics Kingdom"s King Yun Qingtian wasn"t a muddlehead and didn"t distribute all his authority. He also had the utmost loyalty from the royal clan"s Grandma Silver Flower; otherwise, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom would be all under the Witch Empress.
Since the Witch Empress wanted them dead, she must have a thorough plan. She might have even sealed up the entire Mystic Heaven City now, and so no one was able to send any message out. Yun Qingtian would at least need an entire morning to offer his tribute to the Witch G.o.d. If he was to only return afterward, everyone"s corpses would already be cold.
Boom-Boom! Tsk-Tsk! Bang-Bang! Wu-Wu!
Meteorites, lightning, wind blades, ice arrows… stone spears…
Various mystical sorcery arts constantly poured in. Jiang Yi was able to instant-shift and had some Earth Fire in his Fire Spirit Pearl, which was rather safe for him. However, the two Soul Travel Realm secret guards were in a miserable state. If this carried on, they would get injured. Once they were injured, they would lose their physical strength and would ultimately be dead.
"Yun Fei, Yun Xian, don"t resist. I will put you into the Green Clear Vase. Endure for a moment in there. I will find a way to break out of this ancient formation and help you guys escape."
Jiang Yi saw that the situation here wasn"t looking good, and Yun Fei and Yun Xian mustn"t die. He quickly yelled out and instant-shifted towards them.
"Alright!"
Yun Fei and Yun Xian knew they were a burden, and they knew that the Green Clear Vase was able to store living humans. They couldn"t understand why Jiang Yi would ask them to endure in there?
"Green Clear Vase?"
The two secret guards were delighted. With Jiang Yi"s brilliant instant-shift ability, Yun Fei and Yun Xian would be much safer inside the Green Clear Vase than if they were to be with the two guards.
Swish!
When Jiang Yi appeared in their vicinity, the two Soul Travel Realm secret guards tossed Yun Fei and Yun Xian over. Jiang Yi"s Green Clear Vase had a flash of light which stored the two of them.
There was a peak-grade demon king, along with He Lao, inside the Green Clear Vase. He didn"t know if the two of them would be crushed by the demon king"s aura presence, but there was no other way now.
He then began to instant-shift again, reappearing in the nearby borders of the trap. The Fire Dragon Sword abruptly cleaved down while a red light glowed. Soon enough, tens of thousands of small fire dragons were shot out as Jiang Yi tried to use his mid-grade dao pattern attack to destroy the trap.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a cl.u.s.ter of explosions, which caused the trap to constantly radiate with light; but there were still no signs of it being shaken.
"Uh…"
Two of the Soul Travel Realm secret guards were surprised by Jiang Yi as this attack power was already comparable to the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm. Previously, Jiang Yi gave the impression that his most powerful attacks were the Ma.s.sacre Intent and the Fire Spirit Rock. How much time had pa.s.sed since? Also, his attack was so ferocious?
"Lord Regent!"
One of them looked at Jiang Yi with eyes of disappointment as he yelled out, "Stop wasting your strength. This ancient formation is left behind by the Witch G.o.d back in the days. There are twelve pieces of special talisman rocks, which would automatically absorb heaven and earth energy. The acc.u.mulated power is abnormally horrifying, and with our attack strength, we will not be able to destroy it unless we attack for a few months."
"Talisman rocks left by the Witch G.o.d?"
Jiang Yi"s straight brows lifted. In fact, it was too easy for him to destroy this formation. He just had to release the demon king, but the peak-grade demon king"s aura presence was too powerful and would immediately alert Grandma Silver Flower. Thus, he wanted to rely on his own strength to destroy this formation and led Yun Fei and the others on the escape.
Right now, after being informed by the Soul Travel Realm secret guard, his mind had this idea. He instant-shifted to the side of the trap and took out a black token. He poured his essence force into the token and placed it on the trap.
Tsk-Tsk!
A mystical thing happened. Once the token that the Witch G.o.d bestowed to Jiang Yi made contact with the trap, the entire trap had a sudden flash of light and instantly vanished.
Wow!
There was an uproar as the experts who were releasing the sorcery arts were all flabbergasted. The Witch Empress" beautiful eyes immediately shrank as her expression changed. She quickly realized it and yelled out, "Send the signal! Request for help from Grandma Silver Flower!"
"Too late!"
Jiang Yi"s body flashed into the center of everyone, and his eyes suddenly turned blood red. His red long hair fluttered without any wind, and the extremely dreadful killing aura surged from his body, enveloping everyone in the Sage King Residence.
His eyes locked onto the Witch Empress with a pale expression. He grinned and said, "Witch Empress, I wonder if this is your clone or your real body? Do you want me to let you feel what does it truly mean to die?"
