This God General from the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan was very confused. Jiang Yi looked just like Luo Ji now; almost exactly the same at that. The only suspicious thing about it was that Jiang Yi ran instead of flying. What’s more, Jiang Yi’s romantic charm felt quite off to the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s God General. It was almost as if he was missing arrogance.
Luo Ji was a peak-stage God General and was related by blood to the Luo Clan. This made him quite proud within the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. Ordinary God Generals did not even dare to offend him. Now, however, the God General caught sight of some astonishment and anguish in ‘Luo Ji’s’ eyes. This confused the former.
Jiang Yi’s soul spirit had already improved by more than ten times. At that moment, his mind worked extremely quickly. He reacted at once, shouting, “Run! There’s a Chaos Beast behind me. I’m injured.”
As he spoke, Jiang Yi ran toward the God General, his face a mask of fear. The God General flew up into the air instinctively and followed Jiang Yi toward the Fire Lake. His divine senses extended toward the back as well.
Something isn’t right…
His divine senses immediately detected a problem. There was no movement from afar, and he could not detect any Chaos Beast’s aura. What’s more, if this were Luo Ji, he would not say something like that. Under such circumstances, Luo Ji would definitely have criticized the God General harshly and asked him to fight off the Chaos Beast at once. He would not have asked the God General to run.
He looked down at ‘Luo Ji’, and a realization dawned upon him. ‘Luo Ji’s’ body was engulfed in killing intent. His speed was increasing by the second, and he was flying toward the God General like a huge beast. In his hand, he held a Fire Dragon Sword. The sword flashed, and three dragons immediately appeared.
That’s right!
Jiang Yi made his move. He detected a problem from this God General’s eyes. This man was suspicious of him. If he did not want to expose his location and be hunted down by a bunch of God Generals and God Kings, he had to kill this man.
“You are not Luo Ji. Who are you?”
The God General shouted in shock. His golden battle armor was flashing, and a battle sword appeared in his hands. He was prepared to fight. However, the next moment, he became fully aware of life-threatening danger. His eyes widened as he stared at Jiang Yi’s left hand.
Those flames are terrifying! Run!
Jiang Yi summoned his Merged Flames. This God General was far from Luo Ji in terms of skills. In a blink of an eye, he decided to retreat. He had to run first and decide what to do later. Once he got out of here, he could gather a bunch of comrades to hunt down this man.
However, that was the same mistake that Luo Ji committed. The Divinity Slayer could use the heaven and earth powers to suppress the enemy. His skills were nothing compared to Luo Ji’s so his speed was much lower as well. What’s more, the high temperatures of Jiang Yi’s Merged Flames could mess up his heavenly powers and cause his entire body to feel like it was burning. That would slow him down even more.
Swish!
Tens of metal pearls appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand. He immediately threw them toward the God General, wanting them to explode near him. Jiang Yi knew full well that his Merged Flames would not be enough to kill this man. So he was prepared to use his Thunderbolt Rocks to injure this man as much as possible before killing him.
“Thunderbolt Rocks. You are Jiang Yi!”
The God General exclaimed. Alarm bells were ringing in his head. At that moment, he figured something out: there was no way he could run. He would die for sure today. The flames were so powerful. In addition to the Thunderbolt Rocks and the Yellow Scorpion Powder on them, how would he survive? Even Luo Ji was not this man’s match. Given his own skills, how could he fight?
Send a message back to the Young Clan Head. Even if I die, I need the Young Clan Head to take revenge on my behalf.
The God General finally stopped running. He made up his mind and retrieved a signal flare. Without any regard for Jiang Yi’s attack, he used all his energy to throw the signal flare as high as he could into the sky.
Boom! Boom!
There were two explosions. The Thunderbolt Rocks exploded once they hit the God General. His bones and his internal organs were blown to pieces, which landed hard on the mountain peak. The signal flare that the God General threw up into the sky exploded as well. Terrifying space fluctuations occurred. Jiang Yi guessed that one would be able it feel it even from ten thousand kilometers away.
“Goddammit!”
Jiang Yi looked up at the space fluctuations and cursed under his breath. This brat was quite decisive. This signal flare would probably grab the attention of all the God Generals nearby. They would come after him soon. The God King was not far away from here as well. Given his speed, he should catch up to Jiang Yi in a short while.
“Kill!”
There was no time for him to keep cursing. Like a jaguar, he shot out of the area and locked in on the God General who was now covered in blood. He did not deal any attacks anymore. Instead, he summoned a ball of Merged Flames, causing the God General to be unable to use his essence force to deal any attacks. Then, he used both of his hands to strike at the man’s head as hard as he could with his Fire Dragon Sword.
Bang!
His physical body was now as strong as a peak-stage God General’s. The impact on the God General was frightening. His sword went straight through the man’s battle armor and into his brain, causing his head to split open. The man died immediately.
Buzz!
Once a martial artist died, his battle armor, spatial divine items, and interspatial ring would come off automatically. Jiang Yi collected all these things and kept them into his own ring. Then, he released another ball of flames to burn the corpse. Once he was done, he rushed toward the Fire Lake as fast as he could.
As he ran, he took out his map and studied it. According to his judgment, he would take at least two hours to arrive at the Fire Lake. This would be no problem for ordinary God Generals, but if that God King catches up to him, he would be in big trouble.
…
The signal flare alerted all the martial artists who had been searching. Jiang Yi had no idea that apart from alerting all the martial artists within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius of the signal flare, the signal flare would also send signals to every disciple of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan once activated. The dragon-shaped jade token they had could pick up these signals.
The signal flare was only used when one needed back-up. It would not be activated unless absolutely necessary, or the disciple would be severely dealt with by the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. At a time like this, someone was activating a signal flare near the Fire Lake. That naturally shocked many people. Most had the same thought: someone had found Jiang Yi there.
The martial artists who were searching headed towards the Fire Lake immediately. Uncle Lu had not gone too far indeed. His cool gaze turned toward the Fire Lake. Hesitation was clear on his face.
There was a change in circumstances. He wanted to rush to Luo Ting’s side as early as he could because his one mission was to protect him. If an enemy showed up or if this was a trap to kill Luo Ting, the consequences would be dire.
However, he did not return to Luo Ting’s side. Instead, he ran toward the Fire Lake. This was because… he understood Luo Ting too well. Such a long time had passed. Luo Ting must have been outraged. Given the circumstances, Luo Ting must have already boarded a Divine Boat and headed toward the Fire Lake. The Divine Boat was almost as fast as Uncle Lu himself. That was why he decided to head towards the Fire Lake directly.
If someone in the skies could see everything within a-hundred-kilometer radius, he would see an interesting scene. In the east, there was a huge molten lava lake, and one man was sprinting toward it. Behind him—in three directions, tens of people and a Divine Boat were chasing after him. Everyone formed an arrow-like formation. It was almost as if there was a giant arrow headed toward the Fire Lake.
However, this formation was ever-changing. The Divine Boat and Uncle Lu were traveling too quickly. If this went on—in about ten minutes, the Divine Boat and Uncle Lu would be able to catch up to Jiang Yi who was right in front. There was no way that Jiang Yi would be able to reach the Fire Lake in ten minutes.
