The Poison Spirit had suffered terribly. He had thought that his sneak attack that killed a Heaven Emanations had not been discovered. In fact, the other two Heaven Emanations had long started to sense that something was not right. The Heaven Emanations that had perished was so strong; how could he have been killed by an Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast?
Hence, when the Poison Spirit tried once again to launch another sneak attack, one of the Heaven Emanations had immediately self-imploded the moment the Poison Spirit had appeared; the Heaven Emanations had been very resolute.
He was very aware of the Poison Spirit’s strength. The Qin Clan’s hatred for the Poison Spirit was legendary and seeped into their bones. It had compiled a comprehensive docket on the Poison Spirit. The Heaven Emanations martial artist knew that he would definitely die and so had chosen to commit suicide to bring the Poison Spirit down with him.
The Poison Spirit’s reactions had been very fast. Once he had felt something was not right, he had tried to escape as soon as he could. However, his injuries were significant. His medial-grade battle armor had been blown into tatters while half of his body was burned flesh. If he had not moved so fast, he would probably have died as well.
The Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts near him suffered even more; so did that Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast. More than ten low-grade Chaos Beasts had been killed by that explosion while half the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast’s body had also been blown into bits; the scene was very gory.
The only lucky person was the remaining Heaven Emanations. Although he was not far from the Heaven Emanations that had exploded, the latter had sent him a voice transmission right before he imploded. Hence, the surviving Heaven Emanations had ran away slightly faster. Although he had been hurt as well, he wasn’t hurt as bad as the Poison Spirit who seemed to be on the verge of death.
“Pfff!”
This Heaven Emanations spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and looked very haggard. He staggered out from the huge dent in the mountain that he had made as he looked at the unmoving, severely-wounded Poison Spirit, his eyes full of hatred. His face became ferocious as he shouted while his mouth was still full of blood, “Poison Spirit, you’re really good at escaping, right? The entire Qin Clan has been looking for you for such a long time.
“The Heavens have shown favor on us today. I will avenge the dead members of the Qin Clan today. Rest assured that I will not kill you. I will bring you back first so that every Qin Clan disciple can stab you once; then, we will execute you!”
Boom!
The Heaven Emanations’ legs stomped on the ground as it cracked. He then stepped heavily on the Poison Spirit’s bloody legs. The Poison Spirit’s legs that had already been severely damaged were utterly smashed to bits now.
“Pfff!”
Fresh blood surged from the Poison Spirit’s mouth as his entire body was convulsing. However, he no longer had any energy left to attack; he was already at the brink of death. All his veins had been severed; how could he retaliate?
“Ha!”
The Heaven Emanations took out a transmission jade token and sent a message out. Next, he raised his leg high once again and stepped onto one of the Poison Spirit’s hands. He was prepared to torture the Poison Spirit until he had only one breath left before bringing him back to the Qin Clan. He knew that this time, he was going to be heavily rewarded for nabbing the Poison Spirit.
Swish!
At this moment, an air-splitting sound traveled from afar. Following that, a man was swiftly flying by. This was a young man wearing the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s battle armor. There was also an eagle above his blood wolf head insignia. This was the insignia of a Demon-Killing Pavilion Hunting Envoy.
“What has happened? Where is Young Mistress Qin?”
The young man hurriedly flew over, his face full of anxiety. The Qin Clan Heaven Emanations was slightly stunned; he was a little confused as this young man seemed to look rather familiar? However, since this person could become a Hunting Envoy at such a young age, that meant he was definitely a great family clan young master. His coming for Young Mistress Qin proved that much.
This young man was very weak; the Heaven Emanations martial artist did not bother with him at all. One of his feet was stepping on the Poison Spirit’s chest as he casually sent two Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts charging towards him flying. He then cupped his hands and asked, “May I know who you are? Young Mistress has already retreated back to the North River City.”
“Oh, Young Mistress Qin is fine! That’s great!”
The young man flew quickly as he glanced at the Poison Spirit. His eyes suddenly became cold as he said, “Isn’t this person the traitor to the Demon-Killing Pavilion, the Poison Spirit? Hmph! Traitors deserve to be hunted and killed by everyone; Poison Spirit, die!”
Jiang Yi’s voice was very loud as his tone was very serious as he howled. Following that, a little beast within his sleeve also shouted out as, instantly, an endless amount of yellow sand worms appeared from beneath the surface. They completely enveloped the Poison Spirit and the Heaven Emanations martial artist.
“Ah? Young Master, are you crazy? No…”
If that Heaven Emanations had been at his peak, he would definitely have detected the yellow sand worms beneath the surface. This time around, he had been misled by Jiang Yi’s words and was shocked when the yellow sand worms appeared.
He had been severely wounded, and his speed greatly slowed. He had thought about retreating, but it was already too late. Within a second, his entire body was enveloped by the yellow sand worms. He did not even have the time to kill the Poison Spirit before he had become a pile of bones under the assault of the yellow sand worms.
“Poison Spirit!”
Jiang Yi charged forward as he hurriedly took out some recuperation medicine and gave them to Jiang Yi. He also used his heavenly powers to help the Poison Spirit in his recovery, to stop his body from bleeding profusely. The Poison Spirit could still speak as he looked at Jiang Yi, smiled bitterly, and said, “Young Lord, I am useless. You have to look after me now. You have to be careful on the way back.”
After speaking, the Poison Spirit fainted. He did not even have the ability to try to recuperate. The Poison Spirit could only wait for the recuperation medicine and his body’s self-regeneration to kick in. Jiang Yi scanned the Poison Spirit and confirmed that Poison Spirit was not going to die here. As for his broken legs, they could only do something about it in the future. He threw the Poison Spirit into his Chaos Essence Pearl as he controlled the yellow sand worms to head towards that half-dead Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast to kill it.
Even ants, if many, could bite an elephant to death!
Although the yellow sand worms were only Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts, they had numbers on their side while the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast was on the verge of death. The latter had only struggled for a while before he was bitten to death alive. On this side, Jiang Yi had already kept the Heaven Emanations’ interspatial ring. He then sent out a few palms of energy and completely destroyed the Heaven Emanations’ body.
Jiang Yi then rushed to the other side to recover the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast’s body. He did not even care about the low-grade Chaos Beasts as he retrieved his yellow sand worms and dashed to the west.
Jiang Yi did not make a beeline for the North River City, but he headed to the west for almost a day before he brought out his Divine Boat and made a detour to the North River City.
This was a very wise choice. Within half a day, the vicinity of the battleground had been completely surrounded by the Qin Clan’s formidable martial artists. At least thirty Heaven Emanations had come; hundreds of Earth Emanations martial artists had also sealed off the area.
The Heaven Emanations that Jiang Yi had killed had actually sent a message to Qin Yuewen, explaining the situation. Qin Yuewen had then reported this matter to the Qin Clan. As the Qin Clan viewed this matter very seriously, it had activated many formidable martial artists. They were afraid that Poison Spirit had an accomplice.
However, once they had rushed to the battleground—not only had the Poison Spirit disappeared, but the Heaven Emanations that had sent the message had also perished. Even his corpse was not left untouched, and there were only a few scattered bones around! The Qin Clan’s formidable martial artists were enraged as they started to search a five-hundred-kilometer radius, looking for the Poison Spirit and his accomplice.
The Heaven Emanations martial artist that Jiang Yi had killed had said very clearly: the Poison Spirit had been severely wounded by a Heaven Emanations’ self-implosion. Since that was the case, the Poison Spirit must have been rescued by someone. He had an accomplice in the vicinity.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The North River City became very lively today; all the inhabitants of the city were scared out of their fits. Their entire lives, they had not seen so many formidable martial artists. One God King after another was teleporting here incessantly.
Within one Lower-Domain day, tens of thousands of Qin Clan God Kings had gathered. Even the North River City had been taken over as countless Divine Boats flew out and created a giant net outside. They were prepared to systematically search a five-million-kilometer radius around the fire abyss to look for the Poison Spirit.
Jiang Yi, however, did not imagine that the Qin Clan’s reaction would be so serious. He had made a detour far, far away and was now heading towards the North River City from the west.
