Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

“There are pursuers! Four of them! Their strength should be around the fifth to seventh stage of Soul Travel Realm!”

Using the black essence force to enhance his hearing, Jiang Yi could clearly hear the footsteps behind him. His eyes were icy cold as he knew that these people much faster than Big Huang, and if they continued the pursuit, they would surely catch up to him!

Actually, Jiang Yi could just destroy the tunnel behind him; and if the four of them wanted to continue the pursuit, it would take a lot of effort. However, if he had been targeted by these four individuals, it would still be troublesome. He muttered to himself for a moment before he decided to eliminate these four pursuers.

“Big Huang, turn!”

Jiang Yi didn’t let Big Huang run in a straight line anymore but zigzagged while advancing. It might be slower like this, but with the zigzagging tunnels behind him, it wouldn’t allow the martial artists to shoot their essence force attacks from the back. Furthermore, once they got too near, Jiang Yi would have the opportunity to kill them.

“Jiang Yi, stop running! Your spirit beast’s speed cannot match ours. Just let us capture you obediently, and we will not hurt you. After you return to the kingdom, the King will definitely spare your life for the sake of Western Garrison Liege Lord. Stop immediately, or else we will have to make a move—by then, you will have to bear the consequences!”

The four of them were getting closer and closer. When one of them yelled out, his voice was very strange and had this formless magical power in Jiang Yi’s ears, causing him to slow down. Finally, the voice actually made Big Huang stopped.

“Third Brother, your Enchanting Secret Art is indeed incredible!”

The rest of the three Soul Travel Realm experts instantly gave their thumbs-up. The Soul Travel Realm expert who yelled out earlier, revealed a proud smile as he let out mischievous laughter. “He is just a young brat and only at the Purple Mansion Realm; how strong can his soul spirit be? Even if he had some absolute artifacts or ferocious attack power, he is still at the same level as Shui Qianrou, hurhur!”

“Swish!”

The four of them rapidly approached Jiang Yi and saw him seated on a strange beast, with his back motionlessly facing them. The four of them had this flash of hesitation before one of them spoke, “Kill him or capture him?”

“Capture him! His Highness will be more delighted!”

The expert who was well-versed in soul spirit attacks spoke and glanced at Jiang Yi two more times before he spoke softly, “I will use the Enchanting Secret Art again so that he loses all resistance. Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, prepare to smash his dantian and kill this spirit beast, too. A pity for this ancient species, Zouwu Beast.”

“Zouwu Beast?”

The three of them were shocked and took a closer look before they recognized it, letting out sighs. The last time a Zouwu Beast appeared was several thousand years ago. It is one of the strongest underground demonic beasts. Now that Jiang Yi had tamed it—once he dies, this Zouwu Beast had to die, too.

“Jiang Yi, very good! Don’t move now and jump off the Zouwu Beast; then throw all your weapons on the ground. Don’t think of any intention to attack; we guarantee the safety of your life. Once you get back to the kingdom, you will definitely survive and can even enjoy a lifetime of glory and splendor.”

The soul spirit expert spoke again, and it sounded very strange; it was very enchanting and very convincing. Even the other three experts, who were beside him, felt that he was speaking the absolute truth: that Jiang Yi was surely going to survive.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi had this perplexed expression in his eyes as he quickly dismounted Big Huang. He stood there sluggishly and stared blankly at the four of them, without any trace of killing aura or any movements.

“Do it!”

The soul spirit expert bellowed which two Soul Travel Realm experts responded by flying towards Jiang Yi like lightning. One of them wielded a longsword which was like a laser that shot at Jiang Yi’s lower abdomen, which was going to ruin his dantian.

“Fool!”

Just as the two of them were about 10 meters away from Jiang Yi, his perplexed eyes vanished and were replaced by eyes of cold intent. The ancient species—Zouwu Beast—also vanished while the Fire Spirit Pearl glowed, releasing a constant flow of Earth Fire. Jiang Yi suddenly executed the Exploding Essence Palm, turning the Earth Fire into a fire snake that engulfed everything.

“We have been tricked!”

The two of them were suddenly shocked when Jiang Yi moved while they concurrently shot out their essence force attack and immediately retreated. It was fine if they didn’t shoot out these essence force attacks; once they shot it out, things got worse.

Jiang Yi countered naivety with intention. The Earth Fire was released too quickly, and when the two essence force attacks were launched, he executed the Exploding Essence Palm which propelled the Earth Fire. It was needless to mention the result. With the Earth Fire, the essence force attacks couldn’t do any damage to Jiang Yi and exploded the Earth Fire instead, causing it to split and burst in all directions.

“Massacre Intent! Wind Shadow Sword!”

Jiang Yi added onto the attack and released his Massacre Intent. The effects might not be detrimental, but it was enough to slightly slow down the two of them. When the Black Scale Sword appeared, it was cleaved out vigorously, instantly turning the violent winds into countless wind dragons. These winds transformed the Earth Fire into scattering sparks that accelerated towards them.

“Ah! Ah!”

The two of them were too close to Jiang Yi. No matter how fast they were in their retreat, it was too late. Those burst of sparks landed on their bodies and easily burned through their armor before burning large holes on their body. One of them died instantly while the other was severely injured and had one of his legs severed.

The heat from the Earth Fire was obviously not high enough because the heaven artifacts on them remain perfectly intact but were also charred.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi flew forward and pressed forward towards the other two rapidly. The Earth Fire that covered his body quickly incinerated that severely injured martial artist into ashes, along with the other corpse. That scorching fire wave continued to press forward the other two in front.

“How is this possible!?”

That soul spirit expert had eyes that were filled with bewilderment, seemingly not convinced that Jiang Yi could have such a strong soul spirit at his current cultivation stage. How could Jiang Yi have no fear for his Enchanting Secret Art? The other expert swiftly released essence force attacks, in an attempt to exhaust Jiang Yi’s Earth Fire.

“Pong, Pong, Pong!”

Every time those formidable essence force attacks landed on the Earth Fire, lumps of Earth Fire would explode, quickly exhausting Jiang Yi’s supply. The two of them began to rapidly retreat, and with Jiang Yi’s speed, it was impossible for him to catch up to them.

“Die—!”

Jiang Yi roared out while the Fire Spirit Pearl on the Fire Dragon Sword glowed. A red little rock appeared, which Jiang Yi suddenly reached out to flick and caused it to fly forward. Jiang Yi then used another palm strike, further increasing the flying speed of the Fire Spirit Rock.

“Eh? Retreat!”

The two of them initially didn’t bother about the Fire Spirit Rock, but when it began to emit green flames, they were instantly frightened stiff. A heat that was ten or a hundred folds hotter than the Earth Fire enveloped the tunnel, making them feel as though their bodies were burning up even though they were still 300 meters away.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

On the ground was the two heaven artifact that didn’t get melted by the Earth Fire, but when the Fire Spirit Rock flew past them, there was this ‘Tsk-Tsk’ sound as the surface of the weapons melted into molten iron. It showed how hot the flames from the Fire Spirit Rock were.

“Ah!”

The horrifically high temperature suffocated them, causing the blood in their body to boil ceaselessly, causing disorder to their essence force and instantly decreased their speed.

The closer the Fire Spirit Rock was, the slower their speed became. With eyes filled with fear, the two had their clothes catch fire while the bodies fumed up with green smoke. Finally, they were burned alive. The heaven artifacts in both their hands were damaged again.

“Ah, Ah, Ah!”

A miserable and extensive scream echoed throughout the tunnels, causing all the pursuing martial artists to stop on their tracks with a change in expression.

“Time to go!”

When Jiang Yi heard the subtle echoes from all directions, it was obvious that the enemies in the other tunnels began digging towards his direction. Hence, he naturally didn’t dare to stop moving here.

Retrieving the Earth Fire, Jiang Yi summoned the Zouwu Beast—Big Huang—and burst into the distance. Jiang Yi had learned from his mistake this time and began to use the Exploding Essence Palm to collapse the tunnels. It would obstruct the pursuers and decrease their speed.

“Swish! Swish!”

Moments after Jiang Yi escaped, many martial artists excavated the tunnels and arrived at the scene. Many other martial artists also followed this tunnel and arrived here quickly. They were all fearful when they saw that the tunnel was charred everywhere while there was this lingering scent of blood and blazing hot aura.
