Hopelessness, despair… agony!
Jiang Yi felt all these emotions at this moment. Although he had experienced such feelings many times before, they were still very intense this time!
Jiang Yi did not have such strong feelings for Qi Qingchen; he did not dare to have such hopes. He knew that she was not of the same rank and status as he was; she was a goddess while he was a mortal. Jiang Yi’s heart had also been sealed, and he did not dare to pry it open again. Hence, his feelings for Qi Qingchen were very complicated.
However, every man would instinctively dream about having a woman like her; this was a natural desire that men had for beautiful things. People were all selfish; they all wanted the good things. Saints did not exist in this world.
Jiang Yi was indebted to Qi Qingchen; she was also an admirer of Yi Piaopiao and had become good friends with Yi Piaopiao later on. In the battle arena, Qi Qingchen had used her sword to block the Phantom King’s advance. That was the first time Jiang Yi started to have feelings for Qi Qingchen; he had made her his friend at that moment.
After that, the two had gone on two missions together in the Demon-Buster Army. Especially when Qi Qingchen was carrying him just now, the two had physical contact for a time. Jiang Yi’s feelings for Qi Qingchen grew even more complicated. Qi Qingchen used her life to protect Jiang Yi and to break through the encirclement; she had been injured by the Sword Emanations Race many times because of him. In Jiang Yi’s heart, Qi Qingchen was already a very important friend to him.
At this moment, this friend was being put in a spot; she was also being teased and made fun of by a man who was going to take advantage of her. Probably after this incident, Qi Qingchen would no longer be her original self. Jiang Yi would also lose an important friend.
Any man that saw his beloved goddess being teased and taken advantage of by another man would naturally feel rage and anger building up in him like a furnace. However, Jiang Yi could not do anything; he did not even have the chance to fight desperately to help her.
Huff-huff…
As Jiang Yi became angrier and angrier, his breathing became more rushed as his eyes also grew red. His entire soul spirit was filled with a raging fire; this fire could seemingly burn the skies, boil the oceans, and even destroy worlds. However, it could not be used to save a person. The person that was pinching his neck suddenly smashed his fist on Jiang Yi’s head, knocking him unconscious instantly.
“This place will do; let’s not go so far, just in case the Poison Spirit launches a sneak attack.”
After flying five kilometers away from the river, the twenty formidable martial artists stopped as an elder ordered expressionlessly, “All are to spread out and be on high alert. If anything happens, report back immediately.”
“Yes!”
Although Yi Wu and three other Phantom Race formidable martial artists were standing guard, the elder and the rest were still worried. You Tianni was the only grandson of the You Clan; if he died, Heavenly King You would be furious. Although there was also a ‘You Tianni’ in the army on the other side of this place, that was but a fake.
As the twenty men spread out, they surrounded the river. However, no one dared to go nearer; and no one dared to use their divine senses. They were very clear of You Tianni’s character; whoever spoiled his plans would face the consequences.
Bang!
Everyone had just spread out when a red light lit up in the sky far away. Following that, the formidable martial artist holding onto Jiang Yi’s face changed as he immediately flew towards the river. At the same time, his divine senses locked onto the other side as he sent a voice transmission: “What is the situation?”
“The Sword Emanations Race! Many members of the Sword Emanations Race have come!”
A person quickly sent a voice transmission back as everyone immediately flew back to the river. On the grass patch near the river, You Tianni was just holding onto Qi Qingchen and was about to take off her battle armor and have his fun. Seeing everyone fly over, he flew into a rage and shouted, “What is going on?”
“Many Sword Emanations Race beings are coming from that direction; they are charging here directly!”
One person reported as the spatial zone fluctuated in a few places, and Yi Wu and company also materialized. Yi Wu said coldly, “It is Poison Spirit! He had lured the Sword Emanations Race over!”
“Idiot! I am going to cut him up into pieces!”
You Tianni roared out furiously. He had already taken off his pants; he was about to fire his shot, and now he had to stop? He couldn’t possibly ask everyone to hold off the Sword Emanations Race while he continued, right? Also, the question was, could they hold them off?
“Even if you cannot, you have to hold them off!”
You Tianni was not thinking straight; he did not care about anything else anymore. As long as he could take possession of Qi Qingchen’s body, his plot would have been a success.
He coldly ordered, “Yi Wu, you four will continue to hunt Poison Spirit. You Jian, leave three men here to guard me. The others are to lure the Sword Emanations Race away. I just need one hour; you guys have to buy me one hour.”
“Yes!”
Everyone was also afraid that an accident might happen. If Qi Qingchen managed to escape this time, it would spell trouble for them all. Yi Wu gritted his teeth and shouted, “All are to head out! This time, we will have to kill that traitor! We cannot afford to let him go.”
Swish!
Yi Wu and the other three Phantom Race formidable martial artists disappeared and left while You Hong and company left three men to guard the vicinity. The other seventeen men rushed towards the Sword Emanations Race beings advancing. There were many of them this time; they numbered about one million. However, if their task was only to lure them away and do so for one hour, it was not a huge problem for them.
“Hehe!”
You Tianni’s hand lit up with white light as he continued to inject it into Qi Qingchen’s supreme-grade divine artifact battle armor. This battle armor was impossible to tear apart; it could only be forcibly refined. As Qi Qingchen was now unconscious, she could not resist at all. After forcibly refining it for five to ten minutes, the battle armor would then fall off.
Once the battle armor was removed, Qi Qingchen would become You Tianni’s woman!
Qi Qingchen’s face was flushed red as she breathed softly. Her eyes were just like a cat’s in heat. However, her soul spirit was probably instinctively fighting against the intoxication; and she did not act even more promiscuously.
“Quick, quick, quick!”
You Tianni was growing very anxious internally as he sent his heavenly powers out quickly. The longer he took, the easier it was for something to happen. The stakes were very high this time; he could not afford for there to be any mistakes.
“Young Master, hurry up and flee!”
Just as Qi Qingchen’s battle armor was about to be refined, a roar rang out from the distance. Following that, numerous figures sped towards him. You Tianni was furious. He shouted back, “What is it this time? Are you guys all imbeciles? You can’t even hold them off for one hour?”
One person shot forward quickly as he yelled, “Young Master, hurry up and flee; if not, we are all going to die! The Sword Emanations King had been lured here by Poison Spirit!”
“Sword… Sword Emanations King?”
You Tianni shuddered as he immediately grew soft. He knew who the Sword Emanations King was; that was the sole ruler of the Sword Emanations Race. If one was not King-Ranked and did not have any special mystical abilities—if he encountered the Sword Emanations King, he would definitely die.
You Tianni instinctively grabbed Qi Qingchen and was just about to fly and escape. However, at the last moment, he calmed down and yelled, “Yi Wu, hurry up and release the Deception Formation!”
This formation was the unique mystical ability of the Phantom Race; after it was released, everyone inside the formation would become invisible. Previously, they had used this formation to avoid the Sword Emanations Race many times. How fast was the Sword Emanations King’s speed? It was unimaginable. If they flew about frantically, they would easily be killed by it. Since Poison Spirit could lure so many Sword Emanations Race beings and even the Sword Emanations King over without dying, this meant that they had a huge chance of survival if they hid themselves as well.
“Alright!”
Yi Wu’s body materialized; he had been scared witless by the Sword Emanations King’s killing aura just now and was now startled awake. If Poison Spirit could avoid the Sword Emanations King’s attacks, they definitely could as well.
The twenty men surrounded You Tianni as he held onto Qi Qingchen while You Hong held onto Jiang Yi. Yi Wu and the three Phantom Race formidable martial artists stood at four designated positions as their bodies lit up in white light and were getting ready to release the formation.
“Toss Jiang Yi outside the formation; when the Sword Emanations Race attacks him, Poison Spirit would definitely rescue him! At that time, we will attack with everything we have; we have to kill Poison Spirit!” Just as the formation was taking shape, You Tianni suddenly thought of this and shouted out.
“That’s right!”
You Hong’s eyes lit up as he threw Jiang Yi unceremoniously into the distance as the formation took form and beams of white light flashed; everyone vanished on the spot. Only the unconscious Jiang Yi was left lying on the ground, not moving even one bit.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
From far away came numerous air-splitting sounds as a swift and forceful killing aura emanated forward. From the sky to the east, a patch of red clouds funneled forward, just about to swallow everything in its path.
The Sword Emanations Race army had arrived.
