Plop! Plop!
There were not many people on the city plaza—just about ten thousand people, but because of what Jiang Yi said, thousands of people fell down to the ground. These words were too frightening. They were so frightened that they had to sit down on the ground.
Nobody else in the Earth Domain would have dared to say these words, and no one would have dared to take their swords and point them at the Green Eagle King. Ten years? Torture the Green Eagle King like a dog? This was too crazy. It was as ridiculous as a commoner pointing at the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s nose and saying that he would only need ten years to replace him.
Many people were so frightened that they sat on the ground, but more people were afraid that the Green Eagle King would burn down the entire city in the heat of the moment. If the Green Eagle King destroyed the entire city, the Earth Emanations Sovereign would not be able to do anything, no matter how unhappy he felt.
The Green Eagle King’s temper was known to be horrible across the entire Earth Domain. This was also the reason why many formidable martial artists in the Earth Domain feared the Green Eagle King. The Green Eagle King once destroyed an entire small domain in the heat of his anger. He was notorious across the entire Earth Domain. There was even once when he chased the Blood-Thirsty King down until he had nowhere to go and no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.
The entire place remained silent. No one dared to make a single sound. Instead, all of them stared at the Green Eagle King and Jiang Yi who was still holding onto the sword. Many people began to tremble and gulp their saliva. Beads of cold perspiration began to form on their palms and their backs.
The Green Eagle King’s expression remained still. He looked at Jiang Yi calmly. Five formidable martial artists from the Ink Feather Race were behind Jiang Yi. Big Sister Mu and her companion were still standing behind the Green Eagle King, unable to conceal the killing intent. How dare Jiang Yi point his sword at the Green Eagle King? If it were someone other than Jiang Yi, they would have taken action immediately. How dare he say that he could torture the Green Eagle King like a dog in ten years? This was an insult to the Ink Feather Race.
The Green Eagle King said nothing, and Jiang Yi remained expressionless, continuing to hold his sword up to the Green Eagle King’s face. He looked determined on the outside, but his heart was racing; he was extremely tense. He was going all out now, pushing himself to a dead end.
On the day that he broke the seal on Jiang Xiaonu’s memories and took her back with him to Earth Emanations Domain, he guessed that the Green Eagle King would fly into a rage. Now, the Green Eagle King had led a group here personally. It proved that he had reached his breaking point. If Jiang Yi made a single mistake today, he could very possibly be killed by the Green Eagle King!
If the Green Eagle King wanted to kill him, there was nothing he could say. From the Green Eagle King’s standpoint, he really did nothing wrong!
He was the most powerful man in Earth Domain, and yet he suffered the hurt of losing his beloved daughter. Even if Yi Piaopiao had just taken her in to raise her, she should not have brought Jiang Xiaonu to Stellarsky Domain. The Green Eagle King and Eagle Empress thought that Jiang Xiaonu was dead; both of them grieved terribly.
Big characters were hardly ever reasonable. Given the Green Eagle King’s temper, it was especially hard for him to be reasonable. Jiang Xiaonu threw a tantrum upon arriving home, driving the Green Eagle King to seal her memories in anger. Now, he found out that Jiang Xiaonu had run away with Jiang Yi again? How was the Green Eagle King to maintain his reputation if word of this got out?
Thus, the Green Eagle King came with the intention to kill. Jiang Yi knew this very well. He did not want to die, much less die in the hands of Jiang Xiaonu’s father. He could only try this new method.
Of course…
Jiang Yi was indeed discontented. The Green Eagle King had hurt him with his words, insulting his very pride. Prominent people were destined to be more privileged than him, but who was he to despise people who ascended from the Lower Domain? Why should the indigenous divine races get to act high and mighty? Why should people who ascended from the Lower Domain be seen as lowly, second-rate citizens?
The indigenous divine races were given good starting points. The moment they were born, they had limitless resources at their fingertips. This allowed them to progress quickly in terms of cultivation and accumulate great skills. Most leaders of the various domains were people of indigenous divine races. So what? Were prominent people really destined to be more privileged? The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch was a person who ascended from the Lower Domain and ultimately became the Supreme Thearch. He created the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Why couldn’t Jiang Yi do the same?
“Hahaha!”
The Green Eagle King suddenly burst out laughing. His prowess kept increasing; a killing intent which threatened to destroy the entire world engulfed the city. He was laughing in anger. In a cool voice, he said, “You’re retreating for the sake of advancing? Brat, are you really using this petty trick on me? There exists no one who has ever pointed at me with a sword, because… they’re all dead!”
Swish!
The Green Eagle King charged at Jiang Yi, a single hand turning into a blue as he grabbed Jiang Yi’s head. He wanted to settle this problem once and for all. Only if he killed Jiang Yi would Jiang Xiaonu be able to forget Jiang Yi forever. Then, she would truly begin to live a new life. Otherwise, these problems would keep surfacing.
Buzz!
At that moment, disturbances appeared in the space around them. The clouds began to dance as the spiritual aura of heaven and earth congealed into a face. The space seemed to surge as well, congealing into yet another face. The Green Eagle King’s claws were already firmly gripping Jiang Yi’s head. At that moment—however, he halted and looked up into the sky.
“Greetings, Sovereign! Greetings, Lord Ye Sheng!”
Mo Lingqiu flew out, dropping on one knee and shouting. The battle armor hanging in front of his body was already dented inwards, and his face was devoid of all color. It was obvious that he was gravely injured. However, this shout from him caught everyone’s attention. They quickly shouted, “Greetings, Sovereign! Greetings, Lord Ye Sheng!”
Many people did not recognize the second face, but after Mo Lingqiu greeted him, everyone realized who it was and became astonished. It was understandable that the Earth Emanations Sovereign would step in, but even Ye Sheng was stepping in? This was the Assistant Pavilion Lord of Earth Domain’s Demon-Killing Pavilion. He was the fourth most powerful man in Earth Domain, and his status was outstanding. He was the representative of the Demon-Killing Pavilion in the Earth Domain itself.
“Everyone, stand up. We are not here for anything else but to watch the drama unfold.”
The spirit-aura-congealed-face of the Earth Emanations Sovereign had a slight smile on it. He said, “We want to see how the Green Eagle King is going to kill a descendant and bully the weak!”
Ye Sheng did not look old. Both of his eyebrows were quite a special color: they were red. He suddenly said, “It’s alright, Green Eagle King. Go ahead. We are really just here to watch the show. We have many Great Ministers of Public Works in the Demon-Killing Pavilion. If you still don’t feel satisfied after this, I can bring a few more young Great Ministers of Public Works for you to kill!”
The two of them were speaking in a very casual manner, but even fools could hear the sarcasm dripping from their words. Ye Sheng had even made clear and emphasized that Jiang Yi was a Great Minister of Public Works and a young man. He could not get more sarcastic and pointed than that.
“Hmph!”
The Green Eagle King retracted his hand and turned to glare at the two faces, his gaze sharp. In a cool tone, he said, “You don’t have to speak so sarcastically. You’re saying I’m bullying the weak? Why don’t I fight the two of you? I can take both of you on at the same time. Life and death will be determined by our skills. Do you dare?”
Aggressive and crazy!
Was this one man going to take on two King-Ranked formidable martial artists? Ye Sheng was the fourth most powerful man in Earth Domain, and the Earth Emanations Sovereign had a Primordial Spiritual Treasure on his hands. His battle powers were not weaker than Ye Sheng’s. The Green Eagle King was suggesting taking both of them on at the same time? He was even ready to leave his life in their hands?
“I wouldn’t dare!”
Ye Sheng did not speak anymore, but the Earth Emanations Sovereign smiled. “Green Eagle King, we cannot fight you. Both of us combined would still not be able to defeat you; I know this very well! However… Jiang Yi is discontented. He said he would be able to torture you like a dog in ten years. You cannot even wait for ten years? Or are you… really afraid?”
“Hahaha, I’m afraid?”
The Green Eagle King burst into laughter, his terrifying aura presenting itself once again. The stone ground beneath Jiang Yi’s feet cracked even more. The Green Eagle King looked around with his cold eyes and said proudly, “Since the two of you old fellas have stepped up, I will wait ten years on your account. If Jiang Yi can take three blows from me in ten years, I will take it as I have lost. If he wants to continue keeping in contact with Xiaoyu, I will not stop them. However, if Jiang Yi continues to hound Xiaoyu in these ten years, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi grinned. Once again, he withstood the pressure in the air and pointed his sword at the Green Eagle King. “I’ll say what I said again: If I can’t torture you in ten years, I will kill myself to make it up to the universe!”
