Boom!
Jiang Yi’s brain exploded as if lightning from a clear sky had struck. He had been plotting against the priestess; the priestess had actually been doing the same. She had risked such an attack just now not only to mortally wound the demonic dragon king but also to bait him to make his move.
“My Lord, this priestess’ soul spirit has an incredibly strong defensive ancient artifact surrounding it. It is very hard for me to attack her soul spirit!”
Almost at the same time, Mei Ru sent over a mental thought that made Jiang Yi’s heart sink. He instinctively wanted to draw out his Fire Dragon Sword and fight this priestess to the death. However, he suddenly realized that she was holding a red whip in her hand and had tied the two together at a frightening speed!
“This whip? Why is it exactly the same as Xing Mengwan’s? You are from the Heaven Nether Sect?”
Jiang Yi had seen this whip. It had been used before in the Endless Deep Sea to restrain Jiang Xiaonu and had been blown into pieces by him subsequently. At this moment, it had resurfaced and had tied him up, making him unable to move.
“Haha, Jiang Yi. The moment you entered the Death God’s Dense Sea, you were destined to fall.”
The two were still tied together as they continued to tumble on the ground; their body postures made them seem very shady, and they were speaking very softly. Everyone else was still preoccupied with the demonic dragon king; no one was paying any attention to the two. Furthermore, they were being tied together; it made them look stranger.
Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword was within the Fire Spirit Pearl while his Fire Spirit Pearl and Mystic Divine Palace were both within his Ancient Divine Essence Ring. His Ancient Divine Essence Ring was within his pocket. As he was currently being tied up, Jiang Yi had no way of retrieving his weapons.
Above all, Jiang Yi had noticed that the whip was also disrupting his essence force. Even if he managed to get his weapons out, he was not going to be able to unleash any attacks. He looked at that pretty face just a mere few feet from his and saw the teasing nature in her eyes. He finally understood her tactics. She had tied him up to make him unable to move and release any sort of attack. She would then casually call a few Fierce Warriors to come by and kill him easily.
What should I do? What should I do?
In that crucial few seconds he had, Jiang Yi thought furiously; if he did not manage to find a solution within those seconds, he would be killed. At this time, he could not use his essence force; who knew if the Mystic Divine Armor he had hidden inside him would come out and defend him?
“My Lord, the defensive ancient artifact surrounding her soul spirit is very strong; I will need a few days to penetrate it…”
Mei Ru sent a mental thought that made Jiang Yi’s heart sink utterly to the abyss. He had no way of releasing any attacks while Mei Ru’s abilities were not effective at the present. He could only wait for death to come.
“If only the Rainbow Soul Spear had not been consumed!”
Jiang Yi sighed deeply. However, as he thought about the Rainbow Soul Spear, his body suddenly shivered; and his eyes flashed brightly. When the Artifact Spirit had controlled his primordial spirit the last time to suppress Mei Ru, it had mentioned that his primordial spirit was incredibly strong.
“You have such a strong treasure, yet you don’t know how to make use of it. You even thought of destroying your own primordial spirit? See how this spiritual sword is to be used!”
The words of the Artifact Spirit emerged in his head as Jiang Yi’s expression suddenly became crazed. He then shot his primordial spirit out of his soul spirit consciousness, out of his glabella, and into the priestess’ soul spirit consciousness.
The soul spirit was one’s foundation!
The destruction of one’s soul spirit would mean the death of that person. If one’s soul spirit was damaged in any way, that person could either suffer anything from a severe headache to becoming mad and an idiot. Hence, one’s soul spirit must be protected at all costs.
However, Jiang Yi had actually allowed his soul spirit to leave his body and used it as a weapon to attack someone else’s soul spirit. If this act was made known to others, everyone would think he was crazy!
Even if his soul spirit could attack others—if anything was to happen to his soul spirit, he would be finished.
Jiang Yi was very clear about this; he also didn’t know what would happen if his soul spirit left his body. However, what other alternatives did he have at present? He could only give it his all.
“En?”
The pretty priestess had also realized that a foreign object had entered her soul spirit consciousness. She actually wanted to immediately order someone to kill Jiang Yi, but at this time, she had to concentrate on saving her soul spirit.
Tsk! Tsk!
A tiny Fire Dragon Sword and its accompanying fearsome aura rushed into the priestess’ soul spirit consciousness, scaring Mei Ru, who was trembling with fear. Jiang Yi was too crazy, right?
At this time, Jiang Yi felt as if his entire being had followed his primordial spirit into the priestess’ soul spirit spatial zone. He could also clearly sense that the priestess’ primordial spirit had a mysterious seal that was emanating a gentle glow and protecting her primordial spirit.
“Crash!”
Jiang Yi did not know how to channel his sword-shaped soul spirit; he could only control the small Fire Dragon Sword and slam it heavily onto that protective shield. Once that protective layer was destroyed, Mei Ru could easily attack the priestess’ primordial spirit and gain control over her.
“Crazy! This is crazy!”
Mei Ru had been scared out of her wits. If Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was destroyed, he would die; at that time, would his Artifact Spirit disappear as well? If that happened, would she perish, too? She did not know, and she could only watch as that small Fire Dragon Sword shot towards the glowing shield.
Boom!
It was as if an astonishing sound was ringing in Mei Ru’s soul spirit; her entire body trembled. The Fire Dragon Sword had heavily slammed on the shield. What made Mei Ru happy was that cracks had appeared on that shield; the small Fire Dragon Sword, however, did not seem to have been damaged whatsoever. The three fire dragons on it were swimming about, emitting an aura so strong that the miniaturized Mei Ru was shivering incessantly.
“No…”
A strong and ferocious mental thought traveled from the priestess’ mind. Jiang Yi and Mei Ru could feel it keenly. The priestess’ soul spirit was starting to shake violently. However, the small Fire Dragon Sword did not hesitate at all and struck the shield once again. The shield exploded and broke apart; the glow on the mysterious seal also dissipated.
“Mei Ru, now!”
Jiang Yi sent Mei Ru a mental thought as she hurriedly came to her senses and immediately shot out streams of black air that enveloped the priestess’ soul spirit. However, the priestess’ soul spirit was quite strong; it was not something that could be taken over within a short period.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Yi grew angry as he controlled his small Fire Dragon Sword and lightly knocked onto the priestess’ soul spirit. Her soul spirit suddenly revealed a few small crevices and within a few seconds Mei Ru gained control over it.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi brought the Fire Dragon Sword out of the priestess’ soul spirit, back into his own glabella, and only relaxed after the small Fire Dragon Sword had returned to his own soul spirit consciousness. His soul spirit wobbled faintly as Jiang Yi examined it and his body a few times. After determining that nothing was amiss, he then opened his eyes.
Hoo-Hoo!
Jiang Yi breathed out heavily; his entire body was breaking out in a sweat, and he trembled incessantly. Recalling what he had just done, he was shocked at his own actions. If his primordial spirit had left his body, what would happen if he became a vegetable? If his primordial spirit had not been that strong and if he couldn’t penetrate the shield, what then? If the priestess had a strong soul spirit attack and destroyed his primordial spirit, what would happen?
It’s over—everything is over. I have won!
Jiang Yi continued to console himself. However, he also cautioned himself that unless it was a life-and-death scenario, he should not take such a risk anymore. He had really been playing with his life.
Tsk! Tsk!
Mei Ru became a streak of black light and shot back. The beautiful priestess’ eyes opened at that time; however, her eyes were filled with agony and fear.
Jiang Yi looked at that pretty face just a few feet from his and felt very satisfied. He suddenly moved his head and kissed the priestess on her face. He then smiled and said, “My apologies, little beauty; you are mine from now onwards.”
