“I should try instant-shifting first. Would the Thunder Fire Divine Shield shatter?”
His eyes flickered. After he had resisted against a round of attack, his body vanished from the spot as he appeared within a passageway that was behind him. What caused him to be pleasantly surprised was that… the Thunder Fire Divine Shield didn’t shatter. This divine shield was like an invisible silkworm cocoon outside of his body. It wrapped around his body tightly at any point in time.
Buzz!
He instant-shifted over once again. His body extruded out from the zone within the soil rigidly as the Fire Dragon Sword danced around, turning all the soil around him into broken pieces. He scanned the area with his divine senses. Very quickly, he confirmed that there were dozens of Heaven Monarchs over there as he disappeared from the spot like a specter while he instant-shifted over to the dozens of them.
“Eh?”
Currently, those dozens of Heaven Monarchs were relying on the scorching hot air and the ground vibrations to detect Jiang Yi’s whereabouts. However, Jiang Yi had instant-shifted. Therefore, the vibrations on the ground were discontinuous. Furthermore, the high temperature suddenly vanished while suddenly become scorching hot again. It had caused them to be incapable to judge momentarily.
Just when they were hesitating indefinitely, the ground a mile away ahead of them had trembled slightly. Following which, a heat wave assaulted over. That terrifying high temperature caused all of them to be intimidated as their complexion changed. Their soul had almost shattered.
Of course… their soul would be shattered very soon!
The high temperature engulfed over instantly. The divine shields of those Heaven Monarchs whose strength were somewhat more inferior were ruptured after a while, and the rest of them were frightened and wished to flee. However, the terrifyingly high temperature passed through their divine shields and penetrated into their bodies. It boiled the blood in their body, and their bodies were in utter pain due to the high temperature. Their speed had been greatly reduced, and Jiang Yi had started to instant-shift once again.
Buzz!
This time, Jiang Yi had instant-shifted directly to the tunnel in front of them; and he was only several meters away from them. When four or five of the Heaven Monarchs realized their divine shields were about to rupture, insanity was revealed within their eyes. They released a final attack with all their might as they attempt to perish together with Jiang Yi.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seven or eight different kinds of light streams shot over as it smashed onto Jiang Yi easily. What caused all of them to die with grievances was… when those attacks had smashed onto Jiang Yi’s body, all of them had slipped off to either side. Even a middle-stage Heaven Monarch’s divine shield would also rupture when facing so many of their attacks. However, that sky-blue protective shield on Jiang Yi seemed to be undamaged and didn’t even tremble for a moment.
“Ah—!”
A series of miserable shriek echoed out. The dozens of Heaven Monarchs were all burnt into ashes. Even their saint artifacts had been melted, leaving behind a transcending saint artifact and over ten ancient divine essence rings.
Swish!
Jiang Yi darted over and collected all the treasures that hadn’t been destroyed. He examined the area with his divine senses again and discovered that there were near 40 Heaven Monarchs darting over from about ten miles ahead of him. The corner of his mouth bent up in an arc as his murderous aura turned cold.
“That was Liu Shan’s voice!”
“Stop!”
“What’s going on? How did Liu Shan and the others got killed?”
“Who killed them? Could it be the Lone Wolf? That’s right. The temperature over there is unusually high. Lone Wolf should be there…”
“Attack, attack!”
The miserable shrieks caused the 40 of them to instantly feel their hair standing. Just a moment ago, Jiang Yi was the one being hunted; and he basically didn’t have the strength to retaliate. Why was he retaliating now? Furthermore, he had killed dozens of them in such a short span of time?
Swish! Swish!
Nevertheless, everyone was roughly able to determine Jiang Yi’s whereabouts. They immediately released attacks towards this side. Forty fierce attacks whistled over as they penetrated all the soil around the area. The ground trembled incessantly as there were multiple cave-ins.
There was a middle-stage Heaven Monarch among the 40 of them. Furthermore, he was one of the three strongest people within the Black Wind Legion. This person’s attack was the fiercest, and his strength was comparable to Chief Leng. He struck out an abnormal Suanni Beast skull mirage that was condensed with essence force. The soil would be turned into dust everywhere the skull had been through. It penetrated a large tunnel that was about several tens of meters wide. When the abnormal Suanni Beast Skull flew past, the tunnel would cave in. It caused the soil around it to vibrate repeatedly as if there was a major earthquake happening. It was extremely terrifying.
“Hur-Hur!”
Jiang Yi had disregarded everyone’s attack. Even if the large Suanni Beast skull had smashed onto his body, it would simply slip off. However, it would consume a relatively higher amount of Thunder Fire. It had reached a-tenth of the total amount of Thunder Fire.
“The Thunder Fire Divine Shield shouldn’t be shattering! Kill…”
Jiang Yi instant-shifted like a specter. This time, he was no longer so fearless to instant-shift in a straight line. Rather, he would instant-shift to the east before instant-shifting to the west, which caused his opponents to be unable to catch where his specific position was, giving rise to more errors in judgment.
“Retreat!”
Those experts over there finally realized something was amiss as Jiang Yi continued to get closer. The temperature had become higher over time, and the several rounds of attacks they had executed rarely struck onto Jiang Yi. If he got near them, they would inevitably die.
Buzz!
Who knew—!?
Jiang Yi instant-shifted again. In the past, his instant shift would cover hundreds of meters. This time, the distance covered by instant shift had reached thousands of meters. In an instant, he had narrowed the distance between them to several meters, and the terrifying temperature had caused a lot of their speed to greatly reduce. Although their divine shields hadn’t ruptured, a few of them had already perceived the aura of death.
“Bastard, die!”
That powerful middle-stage Heaven Monarch saw many people’s speed slowing down, and he was fully aware that they would no longer be able to escape. A trace of insanity was revealed within his eyes, and he no longer fled. A series of dark gray essence force surged out from his hand as it condensed a three-meter big abnormal Suanni Beast skull mirage. Suddenly, he smashed it towards Jiang Yi who was meters ahead of him.
Chi! Chi!
When the skull appeared, the spatial zone around it started to fluctuate while the soil had also been crushed into dust. Following which, there would be a cave-in. Clearly, that Suanni Beast skull was a terrifying annihilation dao pattern. It turned into a black-colored stream of light as it whizzed towards Jiang Yi. The speed was like flickering light and passing shadows. Before Jiang Yi could even instant-shift again, he had already been struck.
Boom! Boom!
When the abnormal Suanni Beast smashed onto Jiang Yi, it slipped off just like before. However, he was also forced back by meters. All of a sudden, the Thunder Fire Divine Shield on the surface of his body, which was originally deep blue in color, had turned light blue. Half of the Thunder Fires within it had been used up.
“So terrifying! Fortunately, the Thunder Fire Divine Shield didn’t shatter. Otherwise, I will inevitably die. However… since I didn’t die, it’s all of your turns to die!”
His body flashed in white light as he disappeared from his spot. At the next second, he had appeared three meters away from those who were fleeing. The distance his instant shifted could cover was very wide. He would be able to chase after them since everyone’s speed had been greatly reduced at this very moment.
“Ahhh!”
Instantly, dozens of them had their divine shields ruptured as they left behind a series of miserable shrieks before being turned into flying ashes. The remainder of them also had their divine shields ruptured. Only the middle-stage Heaven Monarch’s divine shield had persisted for a second.
“Brat, let’s die together!”
The middle-stage Heaven Monarch’s face was filled with malevolence. Suddenly, he condensed an abnormal Suanni Beast Skull mirage and wanted to pull Jiang Yi to perish with him together.
However, before he could release his attack, the Fire Spirit Pearl on Jiang Yi’s hand had lit up immediately. Endless amount of Thunder Fires surged out unendingly as it increased the temperature nearby to a terrifying degree.
Perhaps, the middle-stage Heaven Monarch’s divine shield might be able to persist for an instant, but his body couldn’t. The divine shield was able to isolate the majority of the high temperature. However, at this very moment, their distance was way too close; and the temperature was way too high. It had infiltrated into his divine shield unavoidably, and the blood within his body had started to boil from the combustion. His body was suffering from laceration pain, and the attack he had condensed on his hand could no longer be released.
Pop…
His divine shield popped like a bubble. Following it, he started catching fire as he produced an unreconciled and raging roar. Ultimately, his body was turned into flying ashes, leaving behind an ancient divine essence ring floating within the tunnel.
“Huff-huff. What a close call…”
Jiang Yi’s face was perspiring in cold sweat. If this person had released the attack, his Thunder Fire Divine Shield would have been shattered; and he would simply be dead from the impact. Fortunately, he had released even more Thunder Fire immediately.
Swish!
He swept out his divine senses and confirmed the thirty over of them had all been burnt to death. He turned into an afterimage and collected dozens of ancient divine essence rings. Simultaneously, he swept his divine senses around and discovered that there were still some other people within his vicinity.
His divine senses locked onto Gui Ying as his eyes were filled with killing intent. A voice that resembled the coldness from glaciers accumulated throughout thousands of years resonated out to a radius of several miles, “Gui Ying, not even one from your Black Wind Legion shall escape today!”
