These five men were very fast; Jiang Yi had followed them for a while and soon lost them. He did not dare to use his Power of Heaven and Earth recklessly; the last time he had used it, he had suffered the side effects for several hours. If it wasn’t for the yellow sand worms protecting him, he would have been killed then.
He also didn’t dare to bring Xiao Leng out. It wasn’t because he couldn’t trust Xiao Leng; he just didn’t want too many people knowing that he could control the yellow sand worms. If not, that would attract many formidable martial artists’ unwanted attention to him. Furthermore, Xiao Leng’s injuries were pretty severe. Jiang Yi decided to let Xiao Leng recover inside the Chaos Essence Pearl longer.
Jiang Yi also did not know where to go now. He could only charge ahead blindly. After doing so for two over hours, the little beast’s single horn lit up as it sent out a voice transmission: “Big Ferocious, many people are approaching. There are at least two to three hundred of them!”
“God bandits!”
The Demon-Killing Battle Gods were mainly acting alone; at most they were in small groups. Only the god bandits were likely to be able to gather so many people. Jiang Yi’s eyes grew cold as he immediately shouted, “Little Ferocious, ask the yellow sand worms to prepare to attack!”
“Alright! I love killing people.” The little beast’s dark-gold eyes glistened with excitement as a chill went down Jiang Yi’s spine when he saw this. This little beast seemed a little blood-thirsty.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Streak after streak of air-piercing sounds rang out as many divine senses were locked onto Jiang Yi. After a dozen-odd divine senses swept by, Jiang Yi instantly knew that these men were god bandits. Every single set of divine senses that swept over him was filled with murderous intent.
Swish! Swish!
Black figures flew towards him through the yellow sand. As under the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, Jiang Yi could sense a hundred-thousand-feet radius, he could easily detect the ten-odd men in front leading the bandits. He did not hesitate any longer as he roared: “Kill—”
Creak-creak!
The little beast emitted a sharp cry that was so ear-piercing Jiang Yi’s eardrums hurt. After that sound rang out, the yellow sand dunes in front of Jiang Yi split open one by one as streaks of golden light shot up into the sky. They rushed towards the god bandits and struck them.
The reason why Jiang Yi had been so resolute in giving this order to attack was that the vanguard of this group of god bandits had all taken out their weapons. It was clear that they were here to kill him without any discussion. These people were clearly god bandits; as long as they were, Jiang Yi was determined to wipe them out.
“Uh? Yellow sand worms?”
“So many yellow sand worms? What is going on?”
“Run! Hurry up and run!”
“Ahh!”
The god bandit militia was thrown into chaos. If it were just a few yellow sand worms, that would not have been a problem. However, there were just too many yellow sand worms now. It seemed as if ten thousand had appeared in a few seconds. There were only two to three hundred god bandits, out of which only one of them was a Battle-God-equivalent. How could they deal with so many yellow sand worms?
The god bandit commander’s long spear stabbed forward as the sky was filled with spear shadows; the yellow sand worms could not get close to him easily. Even if a few managed to sneak their way close to him, he would single-handedly strike them and send them flying.
This commander looked at his subordinates: many of them had yellow sand worms all over their bodies, falling one by one onto the ground, and became bare bones at a frightening pace. He yelled furiously, “What fight is there left to fight? Flee!”
There were too many yellow sand worms; they could not be killed one and all. Besides him, only a few of the more powerful God Kings could kill these yellow sand worms. If the rest could not escape, they would die here without question. However, many were still instinctively fighting back and standing their ground.
The problem was…
Where could they run to?
Many of them were being covered by yellow sand worms that even if they fled tens of kilometers away, they would ultimately turn into a pile of white bones anyway. Numerous cries of pain rang forward. Many of them could not understand what was happening. Unless one had been sucked into a tornado, the yellow sand worms would normally not attack people. Why have they suddenly emerged from underground and proactively attacked them?
“Something is not right. Over the past few hundred years, I have never heard of yellow sand worms being so proactive and violent!”
The god bandit commander’s eyes flashed suspiciously as he used his divine senses to scan the surroundings. He soon found out something curious. Jiang Yi, who was not far away, was retreating rapidly; however, there wasn’t a single yellow sand worm attacking him.
“There is something wrong with this person!”
The god bandit commander immediately identified Jiang Yi as the problem. He ferociously shot forth spear shadows one after another as he sent tens of yellow sand worms flying. His long spear then shook as it caused turbulence in the spatial zone as his body rushed towards Jiang Yi.
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi saw a figure shooting towards him as he smiled. With a wave of his hand, the little beast that was hiding in his sleeve emitted yet another sharp cry. Following that, the ground in front of that god bandit commander erupted as thousands of yellow sand worms formed a worm wall instantly. As that god bandit commander’s speed was too fast, he had immediately shot into the worm wall.
“Ahhh!”
The god bandit commander could not block this attack this time. A few parts of his medial-grade divine artifact battle armor had already been bitten through by the yellow sand worms as a few of them rushed into his body and gnawed at his flesh. He shouted out a few cries of pain as he did not dare to rush forward anymore and only concentrated on the few yellow sand worms on his body.
However, there were at least a few thousand yellow sand worms on him. Even if he could force out those that had entered his body, how was he supposed to block the attacks from the remaining thousands of them? His reaction was very fast, however. Knowing that he was destined to die today, he roared out furiously as he ignored the yellow sand worms and sent a surge of heavenly powers towards Jiang Yi. He was prepared to bring Jiang Yi down with him.
“Damn…”
However, as the god bandit commander finally struggled out of the worm wall, Jiang Yi’s hand waved again as cracks erupted in the ground in front of him; and thousands of yellow sand worms emerged again. They formed another worm wall. The god bandit commander’s eyes grew black as he spat out blood in a fit and he used all the energy he had left and pierced his spear forward furiously!
Tsk! Tsk!
This spear attack was the god bandit commander’s strongest attack. Although the spear shadow became very small, its speed became very fast. Even the extremely stable spatial zone in the Earth Emanations Domain had been pierced through, revealing a small crevice. This spear’s force was unstoppable; worm after worm that was pierced by it immediately exploded into blood mist. Yet, this spear shadow’s speed did not decrease one bit. Within a blink of an eye, it had pierced through the worm wall and shot straight at Jiang Yi.
“Power of Heaven and Earth!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes narrowed as he immediately activated the Power of Heaven and Earth, and his body moved to evade the attack as well. However, what made him afraid was that the spear shadow had actually locked onto him. Once he evaded, it twisted and followed him. Jiang Yi felt as if even if he fled to the ends of the earth, he would still be pierced by it.
“What should I do?”
In a split-second, Jiang Yi’s brain worked swiftly as he gritted his teeth and could only bring his Fire Dragon Sword out to see if it could block this overbearing spear attack. If it could not, he would definitely die without a doubt.
“Big Ferocious, you are too useless. Let me do it!”
A voice transmission rang out. Following that, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast in Jiang Yi’s sleeve actually shot out as it struck the spear shadow.
“Ah?”
At that moment, Jiang Yi’s heart almost broke. If this little beast died, Jiang Yi would have lost big. This little beast was his biggest pillar at this moment.
Yet!
That spear shadow struck the little beast heavily, and it was sent flying and then crashed into the ground. However, the little beast quickly shot back up. Not even one of its dark-gold scales had fallen off; it only seemed a little tired. It flew to Jiang Yi’s shoulder as it complained: “That hurt so much! Big Ferocious, you have to compensate with many, many burning flames in return. If not, I would not help you next time anymore.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi laughed out loud as he was overjoyed. He nodded profusely and said, “Alright, alright! Little Ferocious, you are too ferocious! As long as you are fine, I will definitely make many, many burning flames for you to eat your fill!”
