Boom! Tsk!
The terrifying claw and the sword light almost simultaneously struck the area Jiang Yi was in. However, Jiang Yi vanished into thin air. The claw and sword light then collided into each other, resulting in a massive explosion.
A thunderous roar rang out as a blinding light illuminated the surroundings, and the impact from the attacks reverberated in all directions, dissipating the poisonous fog nearby. It also knocked Dao Leng and Dao Nù back at a full ten thousand feet.
"Eh?"
Dao Leng and Dao Nù waited for the explosion to subside as their divine senses immediately coursed forward. Now that the poisonous fog had been dissipated, the duo's divine senses could be used again.
The two had complemented each other perfectly, and their timing had been exact. They knew that their attacks would collide and result in a huge explosion, and so they had immediately retreated right before the collision took place.
The two naturally didn't notice that Jiang Yi had disappeared in midair. Now, as both of their divine senses swept forward, they started thinking if Jiang Yi had been blown into pieces? However, their divine senses could not find any trace of Jiang Yi; not even a limb could be detected.
"Could he have been blown into a fine powder? Oh, no, would his interspatial ring have exploded as well? That sword of his is inside his interspatial ring."
Dao Leng thought of this possibility but immediately refuted it. Jiang Yi was wearing the Heavenly Wind Armor; even if the explosion just now had been horrendous, the Heavenly Wind Armor would not be blown into a fine powder. It was a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure after all.
"Something is wrong…"
Dao Nù brows furrowed as he shot forward and listened to the surroundings; he did not hear a single sound. Jiang Yi could not possibly have withstood this attack and managed to flee without making a sound; what had gone wrong?
He heard a soft air-splitting noise as his gaze turned and looked behind him. His brows were raised as the air-splitting sound had come twice as two people emerged.
"Dao Nù, Dao Leng!"
An ancient voice roared loudly; it was so loud that Dao Leng's face changed. That voice thundered, "The Dao Clan is so shameless to do something like this all to kill a young person. If Jiang Yi dies, you two will be buried here."
Heavenly King Wei and Heavenly King Yun had finally arrived!
Dao Leng glanced at Dao Nù as the latter's eyes went cold. Dao Nù said brazenly, "Wei Pingping, what nonsense are you spurting? What Jiang Yi? I don't know what you are talking about."
Jiang Yi had disappeared suddenly; Wei Pingping did not have any proof. What was Dao Nù afraid of?
Everyone in the Longtan Mystic Realm had probably retreated and destroyed all evidence. When Dao Leng and company had come here to pursue Jiang Yi, they had asked all the Dao Clan martial artists nearby to head to a mystic realm to the north. There was a Teleportation Formation there, and he believed that this time, Wei Pingping would not have any concrete evidence on him.
As for why the two of them were here? Why did they have to explain? Jiang Yi wasn't here now anyway!
"Hold on…"
Thinking about this, Dao Nù's soul spirit shuddered. If Jiang Yi wasn't here, he had vanished suddenly. Only Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists' instant shift mystical ability could have that effect; Jiang Yi could not possibly have instant-shifted in the Heaven Domain at his level.
That only meant one thing… Jiang Yi had used some powerful treasure to teleport away!
"Divine Escape Talisman!"
He recalled that at the last moment, Dao Ren had not broken his Divine Escape Talisman; could Jiang Yi had snatched it? Thinking of this, Dao Nù shook. If it was normal times, he wouldn't have cared. However, now that he and Dao Leng were here while Dao Nu had brought men to an ancient site, there weren't any Pseudo Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists left in Azure Supreme Thearch Peak.
If Jiang Yi had indeed teleported to the Azure Sun Peak and then killed his way to the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak, the Dao Clan was going to be annihilated.
"Oh, no!"
Dao Nù grew anxious as he sent a voice transmission to Dao Leng: "Hurry up and teleport back from the Longxi Mystic realm; Jiang Yi might have broken Dao Ren's Divine Escape Talisman and teleported back to the Azure Sun Peak."
"What?"
Dao Leng exclaimed as he grew gravely pale. He hurriedly followed Dao Nù and shot outside. The two did not fly towards Heavenly King Wei and company but in another direction. At this time, the two didn't have the heart or time to talk to the two Heavenly Kings; they only wanted to rush back to Azure Supreme Thearch Peak as soon as possible.
"You still want to leave?"
A furious roar rang out as the spatial zone above Dao Leng and Dao Nù shook, and a huge claw swiped downwards. This claw was different from Dao Nù's; it was tens of times bigger. Although this claw's aura wasn't very strong, its speed was very fast and it was probably supposed to restrain Dao Leng and Dao Nù.
"Wei Pingping, I do not have time to play with you; I didn't kill Jiang Yi. If you want to hold us back, I will go all out against you!"
Dao Nù howled back in rage as a metal rod appeared in his hands, and it continuously grew bigger and bigger as its ferocious aura slammed at the claw up above.
Swish!
At almost the same time, Dao Leng's battle saber lit up as a tricolored sword light hacked above. He and Dao Nù had experienced many battles together and could complement each other very well.
Bang!
An explosive sound rang out as the claw was destroyed. However, as the two started to fly forward, the skies above them shook once more; a thousand-foot big golden claw struck.
At almost the same time, Heavenly King Yun finally acted. From within the spatial zone, earth element materials hurriedly shot towards Dao Leng and Dao Nù. Following that, a huge golden castle congealed around Dao Leng and Dao Nù. The two were temporarily trapped within the castle.
Furthermore, this castle didn't just have a central hall; it had many small rooms, and the castle was still getting bigger while the rooms were multiplying as well.
"Trapping Castle!"
Dao Nù and Dao Leng's faces darkened. This was Heavenly King Yun's well-known ability. This castle had countless rooms; although the two could easily break through the rooms, Heavenly King Yun could continually congeal more. Furthermore, there were illusion arrays inside and martial artists that were not strong enough would be trapped and be imprisoned inside.
"Break!"
Dao Nù and Dao Leng furiously unleashed their attacks as they tried to f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y break through the room walls one by one. The two were very anxious now and did not have the time to fight Heavenly King Yun and Heavenly King Wei to the death. The longer they were delayed, the more people would die in the Azure Region. Jiang Yi was someone who could now easily kill King-Ranked martial artists.
Bang!
After destroying a few rooms, Dao Nù lost patience as the metal rod in his hand grew extremely long and large. Furthermore, his body also enlarged as he became a thousand-foot tall giant. He raised his metal rod and started smashing the rooms about him as the humongous castle started to explode and become ruins.
"Hmph!"
Heavenly King Wei's snort rang out as a huge golden claw appeared above in the sky and clawed at the giant-sized Dao Nù. Heavenly King Yun then started to congeal more earth-element materials at once.
The more Dao Nù and Dao Leng wanted to escape, the more the two Heavenly Kings wanted to restrain them. Regardless, the two Heavenly Kings wanted to delay them first. Jiang Yi's whereabouts were unknown: how could Heavenly King Wei and Heavenly King Yun let the two leave so easily?
Dao Leng and Dao Nù had almost gone mad. If this continued, by the time they returned to the Dao Clan, their clansmens' bodies would have grown cold.
Dao Nù returned to his original size as he looked murderously and roared. "Wei Pingping, Jiang Yi had broken a Divine Escape Talisman and is heading to the Azure Sun Peak. You two old things; do you want to see the Dao Clan annihilated?"
"Divine Escape Talisman? Keke!"
Heavenly King Wei and Heavenly King Yun paused for a moment. Following that, yet another golden claw appeared and attacked Dao Leng and Dao Nù. A new huge castle had also been congealed. Heavenly King Wei's mocking voice rang out, "Dao Nù, do you think we are idiots? Where would Jiang Yi get a Divine Escape Talisman? Who are you trying to kid? The previous time, Azure Supreme Thearch had said that this matter was closed; are you two going against his words? Today, if you two do not hand Jiang Yi over, you are not going anywhere."
"Pfff…"
Dao Nù was so angry that he spurted out blood.
The duo's hearts sank. If Wei Pingping and Heavenly King Yun didn't believe them, they weren't going to be able to leave in the near future. Their father had also gone to an ancient site. All that was left was to see if Azure Supreme Thearch himself would render his assistance. If not, Azure Supreme Thearch Peak was going to become hell.
