Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

I need to either capture or kill Mo Xing!

Cao Duantian was thinking furiously and quickly came to a conclusion. No matter what the cost was, he had to take down Mo Xing. If not, he would not be able to answer to the three races. Furthermore, if this man was not dead, Cao Duantian could never get Mo Yao’er and the Heaven Devil Race.

He coldly said, “Mo Xing. I will not talk about what happened between you and Qiu Bai and his men. Heaven Devil Race and the Dwarf Race had agreed, on Tiger Subdue Mountain in front of Sect Patriarch, to not fight each other again. Today, not only did you instigate a battle, but you also cruelly killed a few thousand people—even those who were watching from the side. We, Tiger Subdue Sect, see the safety and stability of the Snow Region as our utmost responsibility. If we see any injustice, we will definitely lend a hand in aid. If you do not wish to die, give yourself up and let’s go to see the Sect Patriarch. If not, we will have to take you by force.”

“Wanting to do immoral things while maintaining a good name? Cao Duantian, this phrase refers exactly to you!”

Jiang Yi slightly smiled—his eyes shifting towards the pale, frail-looking Cao Shishui—and said, “Young Mistress Shishui, I think that you are—by nature—kind, good-natured, and will not lie. Can you tell me this? You guys brought so many men and managed to reach this place so quickly. Were you guys coincidentally taking in the sights nearby? Your Sect Patriarch had just finished celebrating his birthday, and so soon after that, you guys brought so many formidable martial artists out. How do you explain this? We had just arrived at Ice Island when the armies of Dwarf Race, Fire Chi Race, and Mammoth Race arrived as well. This, too, was not a coincidence—am I right?”

“Uh…”

Cao Shishui’s eyes became evasive; she seemed flustered. Although she didn’t know the specifics, she had understood much from Jiang Yi’s words. She was a little helpless as she looked towards Cao Duantian for help.

“Young Mistress Shishui, answer me!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes stared at Cao Shishui as he said in a low voice. Cao Shishui became even more flustered. She stammered and replied, “I, I… do not know anything. Brother, let’s go back.”

“Mo Xing!”

Cao Duantian exploded as he said, “Cut the crap. Are you fighting or yielding? Give me a direct answer!”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed out loud as a flexible sword appeared in his hand. He displayed a few sword techniques and coldly said, “Cao Duantian, do you really think I am afraid of you? How much stronger can your thousand men be compared to Qiu Bai and his few thousand? If you want to battle, I will oblige! I, Mo Xing, have said as much. Once the fighting starts, bear the consequences yourself. I dared to kill Qiu Bai and Huo Gu; I will kill you and your sister, too!”

If a battle with Cao Duantian and company could be avoided, Jiang Yi naturally did not want to fight. Killing Cao Duantian could help him let off some steam. However, that would be detrimental to his plans of wiping out the Dwarf Race. The Tiger Subdue Sect was too powerful. If he dared to kill this group of people, even Mo Shen would not be able to protect him. He would no longer have any standing in the Snow Region and would have to face the Dwarf Race on his own.

Jiang Yi said his last word, and his body was suddenly overwhelmed by an instinct to kill. His eyes started to turn cold while the Heaven and Earth powers around him started gathering in him; he was prepared to release his Icebound Thousand Miles.

“En?”

The members of the Tiger Subdue Sect suddenly tensed. The atmosphere had become almost unbearably pressurizing. Cao Duantian’s eyes flashed as he also sensed the immense pressure building up. However, he was resolute. He raised one hand high and was about to give the order.

“Young Clan Head, if it is possible, we should not make an enemy out of this man. I feel that he is very dangerous, and I might not be able to protect you!”

At this moment, a voice transmission rang in Cao Duantian’s head. He did not dare to move the hand he had raised high. His eyes turned to an elder with white brows standing next to him. This elder was a five-star martial expert. His soul spirit attack was immensely terrifying. He was only one step away from becoming a Demigod; Cao Duantian did not dare to take this elder’s words lightly.

Hoo-Hoo!

Jiang Yi’s flexible sword was still dancing. His other hand was also shaking gently, continuing to absorb the essence energy and the Power of Ice and Snow within a thousand miles. The cold winds roared and were blowing hard at Jiang Yi’s blood-stained battle robe. His eyes were as cold as the blade of a knife; everyone felt that he was not human but a killer god.

“Kill—”

Alas, Cao Duantian did not change his mind as he shouted the command. He had no other choice. If Mo Xing did not die, all his hard work till this moment would have been for naught. He would also not be able to answer to the three races. As he gave the signal with his hand, the plum flower mole between everyones’ brows shone brightly. They were about to release their soul spirit attacks.

“Icebound Thousand Miles!”

Jiang Yi also didn’t hesitate. A cold current surged forth from him in all directions. He swiftly dived underground, waving his flexible sword as he was about to release the Divine Sound Heaven Skill.

Tsk! Tsk!

Nearly a thousand golden streams of light beamed from between the eyebrows of the Tiger Subdue Sect members present. Jiang Yi was astonished that the soul spirit attacks were not in a straight line; they were like movable streams of light that formed arcs in the sky. These arcs were targeting Jiang Yi, who was halfway into the underground area.

These soul spirit attacks can bend and track people?

Jiang Yi’s soul trembled while he also stopped moving. Since the soul spirit attacks could follow him, there was no escape for him. It would also be hard to just rely on the soul sword to block the attack. As it was a matter of life and death, his only choice was to use Heaven Evasion and leave first.

Roar!

At that moment, from afar came a dragon’s roar. A huge Ice Dragon was roaring as it came, its speed as fast as light. At the same time, an immense pressure enveloped everyone. Jiang Yi felt as if he couldn’t stand straight anymore.

He looked towards the north with his eyes widened. He shouted out, “Ice Dragon in the Sky! The Fifth Eldress of the Heaven Hidden Sect!”

Tsk! Tsk!

The Ice Dragon’s speed was too fast; it was many times faster than from the previous encounter. Within the blink of an eye, it had reached between Jiang Yi and the Tiger Subdue Sect. The Ice Dragon took the full brunt of the near thousand soul spirit attacks. Similarly, it endured all the cold currents that were gushing from Jiang Yi, dissipating them.

Bang!

The Ice Dragon pounded on the ice layer, causing an immense explosion. The ice layer was destroyed, with large cracks snaking far and wide. A large hole had also been created in the center of the explosion. The water ten thousand feet below the ice layer had also been forced out, generating a thousand layers of waves.

Bang!

The impact of the explosion caused Jiang Yi and everyone from the Tiger Subdue Sect to be blown into the sky. Jiang Yi tumbled tens of rounds before finally coming to a stop on the ice layer. With his flexible sword supporting him, he knelt on the ground, spitting blood from his mouth. He looked with utter astonishment at the five serene figures in the north.

Fifth Eldress’ power had reached that of a Demigod?

Did she conceal her true strength before, or was this breakthrough new? Hadn’t she returned to Heaven Hidden Sect? Why would she be here at this moment?

“Ruoxue?”

His gaze quickly found Su Ruoxue who was behind Fifth Eldress. It was a pity that Su Ruoxue was not paying any attention to him; she was as cold as an ice mountain.

“Demigod?”

Cao Duantian and company were frightened, too. If that Ice Dragon had pounded on them, they would all have been smashed to pieces. He struggled to get to his feet and hurriedly cupped his hands as he looked at Fifth Eldress and the four Saint Ladies, saying, “Duantian pays his respects to Fifth Eldress and the four Saint Ladies!”

“Greetings to Fifth Eldress and the four Saint Ladies!”

The members of Tiger Subdue Sect hurriedly paid their respects too. Jiang Yi stood up and casually cupped his hands in respect. He looked at Fifth Eldress and then rested his gaze on Su Ruoxue. He smiled slightly and said, “Fifth Eldress, Saint Lady Xue, and the other Saint Ladies, greetings.”

Fifth Eldress briefly nodded but did not speak. Cao Duantian waited for a while, cupped his hands, and asked, “Fifth Eldress. The Heaven Hidden Sect had always stayed out of the fighting in the Snow Region. Why have you stepped in to help this crazed devil this time? As you can see, everyone here was killed by Mo Xing alone. He also wants to have us all killed, too. It seems like the Heaven Devil Race wants to dominate the Snow Region.”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi smiled briefly but didn’t offer any rebuttals. The appearance of Fifth Eldress meant that he was safe. She would definitely find a way to put this matter to rest.

As expected!

Fifth Eldress stared at Cao Duantian and said indifferently. “Indeed, I saw. Actually… I was watching this right from the beginning. Young Clan Head Duantian, should I tell you the whole story from the beginning? Shall we also bring this matter to your Sect Patriarch?”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Cao Duantian and a few elders’ faces changed. They were pale as snow.
