824 Woman
There was absolutely nothing inside Battle Castle, and apart from stone stairs, there were only a teleportation array and an elder seated at the corner. Situ Yixiao led everyone into the teleportation array while the elder’s hand lit up with a rainbow-colored light that struck inside the teleportation array. The teleportation array lit up with rainbow-colored light while Jiang Yi and others vanished inside the Battle Castle.
“Eh?”
After Jiang Yi entered, he noticed he arrived at a strange spatial zone similar to the mystic realm inside Nangong Clan’s spatial zone. Everywhere was filled with floating boulders, and the three of them were each standing on their respective boulders. The only difference was that these boulders didn’t have a barrier, and there was nothing but darkness surrounding them.
“Jiang Yi. There is no need to panic later on, and you just have to quietly observe. Everything is an illusion inside, and it will definitely not be able to harm us.”
Situ Yixiao’s voice echoed while Huangfu Taotian nodded and sat cross-legged in the center of the boulder. Their faces calmed down while their eyes flickered with light. Jiang Yi followed suit and sat down while looking at the surroundings.
Buzz!
There was a bright light from the east side, which subsequently lit up the entire spatial zone. The surroundings had a drastic change, turning into the wilderness. It looked extremely realistic as though the trio had truly come to the wilderness.
Swish!
There was a sky-piercing sound that came from the east. Immediately after, a martial artist who was clad in black battle armor flew over with haste. As he was fleeing, he burst out with a yell, “Jian Heng. Why are you pursuing me when we have no grudges with each other? Are all your Jian Clan’s people so unreasonable?”
Swish!
Another sky-piercing sound came from the east as a white-robed middle-aged expert flew over. This expert was standing on a giant stone sword which was glittering with runic patterns and had appalling aura presence and was actually a spirit connected cardinal treasure. The middle-aged expert let out a cruel laugh and said, “Hand over the Wind Shadow Disk, and I shall spare your life. Otherwise, these deserted mountains will be the place of your death.”
“Don’t even think about it!”
The black-armored martial artist yelled out with rage, “This is my clan’s heirloom. I didn’t think that your Jian Clan is actually so despicable. Even if I have to die today, I will drag you to death along with me.”
The black-armored martial artist didn’t flee anymore. A green disk appeared in his hands, and with the release of his essence force, the green disk abruptly expanded. There were also plenty of razor-sharp blades on the edge of the disk. This disk was also glittering with runic patterns as it was obviously a spirit-connected cardinal treasure.
“Die!”
The giant stone sword under the Jian Clan’s expert suddenly shot out like a divine rainbow, which suddenly turned into tens of thousands of exactly the same sword shadows and danced in the sky. Each stone sword had an awe-inspiring aura presence and felt as though it could destroy everything and felt extremely real.
“This illusion is just too surreal…”
If Situ Yixiao didn’t inform him earlier, Jiang Yi would have thought this was real. This illusion art was too life-like, and the Power of Destruction radiating from the stone swords was too clear. Those terrifying aura presences had caused his body to tense up, and if it was some regular human, they would have been frightened to death.
Swish!
Many sword shadows were shot towards the giant boulders in Situ Yixiao and the others’ direction. Jiang Yi didn’t go look at the other two’s reaction, but his body didn’t move. These sword shadows might look real, but his heart didn’t have any warning signs, and there shouldn’t be any danger.
True enough—!
Those sword shadows directly pierced through them and into the distant tall mountains. Many mountain peaks instantly exploded and burst out with a sky filled with shards of rocks while leaving behind streaks of hideous cracks in the sky. That Wind Shadow Disk let out a deafening echo as it clashed with dozens of sword shadows. The power of this Wind Shadow Disk was obviously very significant as it shattered dozens of giant swords and flew towards the Jian Clan’s expert like a ray of green light.
“Wind Myriad? Power of Destruction!”
Jiang Yi had noticed two dao patterns from the Jian Clan’s expert’s attack and silently admitted that this mystic realm was truly great. It was such a surreal illusion zone that allowed people to clearly sense the dao patterns within the attacks. However, he didn’t know how the Situ Clan got this battle which was obviously on the East Imperial Continent? Could they have spent a huge price to buy the seal stone from East Imperial Continent?
“Hehe! Time to die, Sect Origin Swords!”
The Wind Shadow Disk turned into a green arc of light that flew at the Jian Clan’s expert. The latter roared out without any fear, and those tens of thousands of sword shadows actually condensed back together and formed a stone sword which attacked the black-armored expert abruptly.
His tens of thousands of swords scattered out quickly but converged quickly as well. After converging, the speed of the sword got even faster by a few times. Before the black-armored expert could react, the sword struck the back of his divine shield which was ruptured instantly. Immediately after, the black-armored martial artist’s body exploded into mince while the Wind Shadow Disk’s aura presence weakened and was caught hold by the Jian Clan’s martial artist.
After the battle ended, the scene slowly vanished; and the surroundings turned pitch black again. Jiang Yi’s eyes were filled with astonishment as he didn’t expect for the Wind Myriad to actually fuse back again? One turning into tens of thousands, tens of thousands turning back into one? The power was actually stronger after converging back into one?
Jiang Yi was silently amazed, but he couldn’t understand how could the tens of thousands converge back into one after splitting?
Buzz!
The surroundings lit up again as there was a sea region that appeared below. There was another battle, and this time, it was five individuals chasing after one individual. All of them were high-stage Heaven Monarchs, and the battle was very intense. Jiang Yi withdrew his thoughts and concentrated on the battle. This battle spatial zone was the Situ Clan’s mystic realm, and the elders of the Situ Clan must have some objection for Situ Yixiao to bring him inside. It was just too much of a pity to miss such a great opportunity. He concentrated on observing as it wouldn’t be too late to think about the other matters later on.
Buzz!
The high-stage Heaven Monarchs were moving too quickly, and Jiang Yi felt as though he was getting dazzled. He had a sudden inspiration as he circulated his essence force to his eyes, which caused his vision to turn insanely good. He gazed steadily at the battle and constantly sighed with emotions. “This person’s strongest attack is a fire-attribute dao pattern. This person has a wind-attribute dao pattern. Eh… the one being pursued has a mystical dao pattern, and it is actually a fused high-grade dao pattern? The power is horrific!”
Jiang Yi concentrated on observing as it was hard to encounter such a high-level battle. Most importantly, he was able to observe it at such close distance without any danger. He could rest his mind and observe while comprehending their released dao pattern with full concentration. This was greatly effective for martial artists.
It was obvious that Situ Yixiao had frequently entered the battle spatial zone and didn’t really pay attention. Huangfu Taotian was watching with keen interest as there were plenty of battle illusions here that the Huangfu Clan didn’t have. To a martial maniac like him, it was a great help.
After each battle ended, another would start again.
The Situ Clan’s battle spatial zone’s first floor had plenty of battle scenes which numbered more than a hundred. Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian had been watching for half a day and still had yet to finish watching all. The two of them were in a dazzled state as their eyes would be bewildered from time to time as though they were stirred up. Jiang Yi would occasionally start to gesticulate instinctively, but Situ Yixiao would be a little disappointed as it didn’t allow Jiang Yi to fuse his dao pattern. Otherwise, he would go into seclusion.
Buzz!
The pitch-black surroundings were illuminated again as it turned into an island, and it was actually Sky Thunder Island? Some people were in a great battle on the Sky Thunder Island, and many others were observing from the side. On one side of the great battle should be the Lu Clan, and more than ten peak-stage Heaven Monarchs were battling with an old man. That old man was casually dealing with the peak-stage Heaven Monarchs as though he was teasing a group of kids.
The location of the battle was just nearby the Sky Thunder City as Jiang Yi could see a lot of people observing the battle from the city walls. There was something rather conspicuous as there was an absolutely stunning young lady who was observing from the thunder ridge. She had a calm expression like the water inside an ancient well as though she was looking at an ordinary battle.
“En?”
Situ Yixiao suddenly sensed something and shot a glance at Jiang Yi abruptly, which caused his expression to alter. His eyes were filled with shock… Jiang Yi’s face was actually filled with tears, and he was looking at the young lady with sentiments while his body was shivering.
Huangfu Taotian had also noticed the situation as he inquired with a bewildered tone, “Jiang Yi, what happened to you?”
Jiang Yi didn’t say anything and continued to look at the young lady on the thunder ridge with a sentimental expression as though he was afraid she might vanish. When that old man used a single move to smash all the Lu Clan’s Heaven Monarchs onto the surface of the ground and returned to the stunning young lady, the battle scene vanished. Jiang Yi then stood up to ask, “Brother Situ, do you know of the status of that lady and that old man?! This is very important to me!”
“Very important?”
Situ Yixiao suddenly recalled something and smacked his head while saying, “That’s right, I was thinking why that lady looked familiar. This lady and the lady in the painting ‘Yearning’ look very similar…”
