The Battle Thearch Castle was in the northern part of the Mystic Thearch City. A majority of the area in the northern part was made up of the Battle Thearch Castle. The castle was vast, and all the members of the Zhan Clan stayed there, numbering a million people. As the Zhan Clan did not control regions and only had this one city, almost all branches of the clan stayed together. Adding their servants, it was normal that there were a million people in total.
Jiang Yi’s words were very real but also very arrogant. If it was before, everyone would have scoffed at him. Having experienced so much, many people did not think he was being arrogant this time. He really had this confidence and the ability to do so.
Of course…
Many people still did not believe it. Jiang Yi could destroy the Great Thearch Formation outside the Mystic Thearch City in five minutes? This formation was laid by the Mystic Thearch himself and was exceptionally frightening. Even if the North Thearch brought a group of Demigods, it would probably take them a few months to destroy it.
The Battle Thearch was in the latter group. He was very clear of the defensive ability of the Great Thearch Formation. Hence, Jiang Yi’s words did not sound realistic to him at all; in fact, the Battle Thearch felt that Jiang Yi was humiliating him. As one of the three strongest people in the East Imperial Continent, the Battle Thearch had never compromised before. If he did so in front of so many people, how could he still face them in the future?
“Hmph!”
The Battle Thearch started to laugh, and his eyes shifted as he said proudly, “Jiang Yi, if you can destroy my Battle Thearch Castle in five minutes, I will concede to you. You can do anything you want. If you cannot destroy it, what would happen then?”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi laughed out loud and coldly said, “Battle Thearch, you have to be clear about something. I am not interested in gambling with you; don’t think about provoking me either. I am simply asking if you wish to fight or make peace. Give me a direct answer!”
“If you want to fight, let’s fight!” The Battle Thearch faced Jiang Yi and growled at him, saying, “I hope that you will not regret the decision you made today…”
The Battle Thearch had not finished his sentence when Jiang Yi’s phantom image disappeared from above the Mystic Divine Palace. Following that, the Mystic Divine Palace started to shake violently. Subsequently, something that stunned the Battle Thearch and the Zhan Clan martial experts happened.
Buzz!
The Mystic Divine Palace had started to emanate countless rays of black light. The spatial zone around it also started to have crevices and cracks. After that, a huge hole appeared above the Mystic Divine Palace; and it flew inside it and vanished.
“Sh*t…”
The Battle Thearch’s face changed drastically. He yelled, “All disciples of the Zhan Clan, leave the Battle Thearch Castle!”
“Wow!”
The Battle Thearch’s voice was very loud and had spread throughout the Mystic Thearch City. Inside the Battle Thearch Castle, countless people flew out from many castles. There were males and females, the old and the young. There were also numerous servants of the Zhan Clan. They did not know what exactly had happened, but they felt both stunned and afraid.
“This Mystic Divine Palace can actually use Heaven Evasion?”
The Yin Thearch and the Sword Thearch exchanged glances as their faces changed, and they were shocked to the core. The Xuan Thearch smiled lightly and said, “Have you guys forgotten that every thousand years the Mystic Divine Palace would appear and disappear again after the treasure hunt is over? In the thousand-year gap, no one has been able to find it. If the Mystic Divine Palace is not able to use Heaven Evasion, then where did Jiang Yi’s Heaven Evasion Divine Skill come from?”
“That’s true!”
The Yin Thearch, Sword Thearch, and a group of people all finally understood. The Yin Thearch and the Sword Thearch were also secretly happy that they had not been reckless before. If they had become enemies with Jiang Yi, their Yin Thearch City and Sword Thearch City would all be razed to the ground. The Mystic Divine Palace could use Heaven Evasion and had such terrifying defensive restrictions; it was unbeatable. No one could break through the Mystic Divine Palace’s defenses; no one could kill Jiang Yi.
Buzz!
While this conversation was going on, huge turbulence was observed in the sky above Mystic Thearch City. Following that, huge cracks appeared in the spatial zone; and a huge hole appeared again. The Mystic Divine Palace flew out from that hole. Jiang Yi had no need to break through the Great Thearch Formation; he could use Heaven Evasion and enter directly.
Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yi did not hesitate. Since the Battle Thearch wanted to fight, he was prepared to make the Battle Thearch submit to him, destroy the Zhan Clan, and prevent it from ever daring to go against him.
Since they had already broken the peace between both parties, there was no longer a need to give any face. Jiang Yi was going to kill first and talk later!
The Mystic Thearch Palace transformed into a beam of black light and shot forth. Its target was the soldiers in white armor that were all around the city. Jiang Yi wanted to cleanse the Zhan Clan, especially the martial experts of the Zhan Clan. He wanted to kill them all.
Bang, bang, bang!
In mid-air in front stood thousands of soldiers; the Mystic Divine Palace flew there like a sharp sword and easily struck them, turning them into muddy flesh. The Mystic Divine Palace did not stop for even a second. Wherever there were martial experts from the Zhan Clan, that was where it flew. As it flew by, the sky was filled with corpses falling to the ground; fresh blood was splattered everywhere.
Cries of pain, fear, panic, and cries from little children rose from everywhere and could be heard over and over again.
“All the civilians in this city—all the wives, concubines and servants of the Zhan Clan, listen! All are to wait in the city plaza. I, Jiang Yi, will not kill the innocent. I am here today only to annihilate the Zhan Clan martial artists. Whoever dares to stand together with them, do not blame me for your death!”
Jiang Yi’s cold and devilish voice rang out. However, this actually helped to calm down the chaotic situation in the Mystic Thearch City. Those who had been frantically running towards the Teleportation Formations with the intention of fleeing the city didn’t dare to move anymore. The various clans in the city also hurriedly ordered their disciples to stay put. If not, they might be easily killed by mistake.
“Jiang Yi, stop, stop!”
The Battle Thearch could no longer maintain his composure. He was beyond rage as he shouted. No matter how deep one person was and no matter how high his status and position was—seeing his home destroyed and his own clansmen dying in front of him and yet not being able to do anything, that would terrify and bewilder anyone.
He was indeed very strong and was ranked one of the top three on the East Imperial Continent. However, even though he had such power—even though his head was full of strategies, he could not use them here and now. There were people everywhere in the city. He could not break through the Mystic Thearch Palace’s defenses. Moreover, attacking it might even increase the number of casualties and kill his own people.
Jiang Yi turned a deaf ear to the Battle Thearch’s cry. The Mystic Divine Palace turned into a stream of black light and just like the Death God’s sickle rapidly claimed the lives of the Zhan Clan martial experts. Wherever there were Zhan Clan martial experts in white armor, that would be where the Mystic Divine Palace struck.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Many Zhan Clan castles were also being destroyed by the Mystic Divine Palace. It was fortunate that the Zhan Clan’s women, elderly, young, and servants were all very obedient. They had all flown to the city plaza; none of them had died. Everyone was afraid of death; if they could avoid it, they would.
Five thousand, ten thousand… fifteen thousand…
Within merely three minutes, at least fifteen thousand martial artists from the Zhan Clan had been killed. The Zhan Clan had many martial artists; there were at least a few hundred thousand of them. Many disciples were very smart. They took off their white armor immediately and hid in the streets and alleys to prevent being killed by Jiang Yi.
However, many were also indignant and had a spine. While they were escaping in mid-air, they still continued to attack the Mystic Divine Palace, trying to destroy it and kill Jiang Yi.
“Jiang Yi, stop killing!”
The Battle Thearch closed his eyes bitterly and shouted as he sighed and said, “You win, I admit defeat. I will never be your enemy again. Please stop.”
“Hahaha!”
The Mystic Divine Palace paused as Jiang Yi’s laughter rang out. Following that, his voice swiftly became cold as he mockingly said, “It’s too late, Battle Thearch! I have given you a chance before, but you chose to ignore it. Whoever makes a mistake has to face the consequences. All the martial artists of the Zhan Clan have to pay for the mistake you made!”
Swish! Swish!
The Mystic Divine Palace became a black shadow and continued to fly about, killing the Zhan Clan disciples, showing no signs of mercy.
Jiang Yi had given the Battle Thearch two chances; the Battle Thearch had not cherished them and still wanted to kill Jiang Yi and obtain the Mystic Divine Palace, the Mystic Divine Saber, and the Mystic Divine Armor. Jiang Yi was never a kindhearted person. Since he could not gain the respect and love of the world, he was… going to make everyone fear him!
He was prepared to bear infamy for a lifetime!
