Chapter 306: Kill the Woman He Loved the Most Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Ah—!"
Xia Wuhui"s look on as the Fire Spirit Rock flew towards him while the dreadful heat incinerated his clothes and hair. When he felt that his entire body was burning up, he let out a grim roar of despair. This roar had so much reluctance, so much hatred, and so much regret.
He was very excited, ambitious, and confident when Xia Tingwei sent him to command this army. He originally thought that he could eradicate the Great Xia Kingdom effortlessly, earning eternal glory and restoring his prestige. He never expected himself to perish outside of Summer Rain City.
"Ahhh!"
After Xia Wuhui and that peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert were immolated, the nearby guards were also incinerated as well. This Soul Travel Realm expert didn"t let out any expression of pain, and it was filled with a sinister smile instead. The finger forces were already near Jiang Yi, and he didn"t have enough time to instant shift!
"G.o.ddammit!"
Jiang Yi was indeed out of time to instant shift as the speed of the finger forces were too fast. He poured black essence force into his eyes so that he could have an insane vision, allowing him to determine the trajectory of the finger forces, while his mind ran through ideas quickly, thinking of a method.
"Fire Dragon Sword, it is up to you now!"
Finally, Jiang Yi was at his wits" end and could only rely on the Fire Dragon Sword. The Soul Travel Realm expert"s finger forces were very brutal and could probably pierce through an entire mountain. The Fire Dragon Sword was a saint artifact, and it was made of very special material. If the Fire Dragon Sword wasn"t able to stop the penetration, he was certainly going to die.
He acted as soon as he had the idea. Once the finger forces were shot out, Jiang Yi immediately reacted and used the fastest speed to lift the Fire Dragon Sword, using it as a shield in front of his body.
Pong! Pong!
Two m.u.f.fled sounds echoed, and Jiang Yi was pleasantly surprised when the Fire Dragon Sword didn"t suffer a scratch after blocking the two horrific finger forces. After the pleasant surprise, his expression immediately changed; these two finger forces were too powerful. The web between his index and thumb felt a sharp pain, and he couldn"t grip the Fire Dragon Sword well enough, causing it to crash into his chest fast. He fell backward as a result, and he felt as though a cannonball was blasted on his chest.
Jiang Yi"s body turned in an afterimage as he crashed backward into the army, knocking over dozens of people and causing them to fly backward as well. A straight line of soldiers all fell to the ground, and the first few individuals to receive the impact even vomited blood.
"Pfff!"
Jiang Yi felt extremely unwell, too, as though he was. .h.i.t by two iron fists on his chest and head. He even spurted an endless supply of fresh blood while he was flying in mid-air, and his head was in a daze now. Fortunately, he had the Ma.s.sacre Intent which immobilized all the soldiers behind him. Otherwise, a random soldier would be able to use his weapon to stab him in the back, and he would probably be dead by now!
"Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness!"
Countless voices called out, and their eyes were filled with shock and fear.
Xia Wuhui actually died? The Crown Prince of Divine Martial Kingdom, the future king, and the favorite son of Xia Tingwei actually died? Many of the important figures of the Divine Martial Kingdom were stunned. How were they going to give an explanation to Xia Tingwei? How furious would Xia Tingwei be? How many heads were going to roll on the ground?
"Pfff!"
Many of the experts were looking at Jiang Yi with eyes of murderous intent as he had fallen on the ground and was constantly vomiting blood. There might be many of them who were apprehensive about killing Jiang Yi earlier, but now, their way of thinking was completely different. Jiang Yi had to die; otherwise, they would have no way to explain or report back to Xia Tingwei. Many heads would have to fall.
Swish!
Immediately, four or five peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts burst towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had suffered severe injuries, and this was the best opportunity to kill him. The two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were still quite a distance away from Jiang Yi, but they still recklessly released their essence force attacks to kill Jiang Yi, regardless of the soldiers ahead who might be caught in the crossfire.
"Your Highness…"
From an even further distance, Eunuch Wei was letting out mournful yell towards the sky. He was Xia Wuhui"s secret guard, and if Xia Wuhui died, he was certainly dead as well. His body pounced towards Jiang Yi like an enraged lion, but… just as he took a few steps and when those peak stage Soul Travel Realm experts all shot their essence force attacks, Jiang Yi suddenly vanished. He had used the Soul-Devouring Shifting Art again.
"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!"
Eunuch Wei"s white hair fluttered without any wind, and his eyes were filled with rage. He let out a few mad roars and scanned the surroundings while searching for Jiang Yi"s figure. After Jiang Yi did the instant shift, he didn"t have any pause between the last and the next shifts—even though his face was pale white like snow. Eunuch Wei and the other peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts had no ways to get near to him.
"Die!"
Eunuch Wei"s fair, clear, and hairless face revealed a smear of malevolence as his resentful eyes didn"t look at Jiang Yi anymore. Instead, he stared at the weaker Su Ruoxue in the distance. His body moved like a wolf in the night as he rushed towards Su Ruoxue.
His intentions were obvious. Since Xia Wuhui was dead, he had to die, too; hence, he wanted to take revenge. Since he couldn"t kill Jiang Yi, then… he would kill the woman he loved the most.
Su Ruoxue was indeed very weak, but it wasn"t only her. All the Su clansmen were also weak like never before.
After the continuous release of the Purple Charm Divine Light—even though they managed to kill tens of thousands of enemies, they all had vital energy drained. Their soul spirits were overly exhausted. Some of them were staggering and nearly fell to the ground.
"Die!"
Eunuch Wei"s speed was too fast, and in just a few blinks of the eye, he had routed over to the left side of Su Ruoxue. He suddenly leaped up—his essence force frantically circulating—as he formed a giant palm which slammed towards Su Ruoxue. His mouth was filled with malevolence as he used his essence force to louden his voice. "Jiang Yi, open your b.a.s.t.a.r.d eyes and see how your woman is going to die!"
Eunuch Wei"s voice was so loud that it caused the nearby soldiers to feel the pain in their eardrums while also alerting Jiang Yi who was in the midst of shifting!
"En?"
Jiang Yi"s head and chest were still in pain, and fresh blood was still trickling down the corner of his mouth. He looked awful, and when he heard Eunuch Wei"s declaration, his eyes abruptly turned towards Su Ruoxue"s direction, which caused his face to turn deathly pale.
Eunuch Wei"s giant palm was several meters tall, and it was obviously a dao pattern attack. After this palm was slammed down, it suddenly vanished in mid-air before forming above Su Ruoxue and the others, pressing down like a mountain.
This giant palm should be Eunuch Wei"s strongest attack and had extremely powerful pressure. The nearby soldiers tried to jump in and sacrifice themselves, but many of the Purple Mansion Realm martial artists realized that they were immobilized.
Jiang Yi was too far away from Su Ruoxue and had no ways to reach there in time. He could only witness as Su Ruoxue look on helplessly as the giant palm pressed down. Her eyes were filled with fear, just like a little kitten which was really frightened.
Jiang Yi had been thinking of how to kill Xia Wuhui; thus, he didn"t have time to bother about her side. During this period when he was shifting within the Divine Martial Kingdom"s army, he had been intentionally forming this facade that he didn"t dare to approach any expert beyond the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm. This finally gave him the opportunity to kill Xia Wuhui with the Fire Spirit Rock.
"No…"
Despite the fact that he knew clearly, Su Ruoxue was going to die today; and she would definitely not agree to leave with him today. He was even mentally prepared to die alongside with Su Ruoxue.
The moment she was about to die, Jiang Yi still felt his heart being sliced by a knife. He frenziedly tried to instant shift towards Su Ruoxue"s position and constantly burst out with roars, but he could only look on as that giant palm enveloped the members of Su Clan.
