Ever since Jiang Yi found out that he could control the Sword Emanations Race beings, he made up his mind to torture You Tianni to death!
That was his character. He would not provoke anyone who did not provoke him first. However, if others went out of their way to plot and scheme against him, he would ruthlessly kill them without any hesitation as soon as he got the chance.
That was what happened to Yi Wu, and that would happen to You Tianni as well!
Yi Wu was a talent from the Phantom Race. The fact that he was sent out to the Demon-Buster Army showed that the higher levels in the Phantom Race favored him. The Phantom Race perhaps wanted him to be nurtured. However, Jiang Yi did not hesitate to kill him. You Tianni’s background was heaven-defying. What consequences would he have to bear if he killed him?
Jiang Yi did not know, and he did not want to know. He just wanted to kill him first before he thought about it!
“Jiang Yi, you bastard. You plan to go back on your word? If you dare to kill us, you will surely be buried in a place that no one even knows about…”
You Tianni roared in anger. Jiang Yi immediately caused the Sword Emanations Race beings to surround him, showing that he was not joking. He really wanted to torture them. Before this, he had been acting all along. His main motive was to bluff everybody that Qi Qingchen had escaped.
You Tianni doubted Jiang Yi’s motives at first, but Jiang Yi was too hard-hearted. Before this, Qi Qingchen’s divine core almost broke, and yet he did not even react. The most important thing was that he had no other choice. The You Clan would be in bigger trouble if Qi Qingchen was killed. That was why You Tianni was overcome with fear and panic at the moment.
Jiang Yi did not care at all about the curses that You Tianni was raining down on him. He took it as the latter was just spouting nonsense. He did not immediately rescue Qi Qingchen either. Instead, he controlled more Sword Emanations Race beings and caused them to surround the group. They formed more than ten circles in total. Once he was sure that nobody could break through the group within a short time, Jiang Yi finally moved towards Qi Qingchen and carried her out of the water.
“Jiang Yi…”
Qi Qingchen had been soaking in the water for a while so she finally regained consciousness. She had suffered a huge blow earlier, causing her to be pulled out of the daze she had been in. She did not know what had happened, but she looked at Jiang Yi with a bitter expression on her face.
“Qi Qingchen, you’re alright now. Everything is over!”
Jiang Yi was quite seriously injured, but at that moment, he was making use of his power of heaven and earth to strengthen his body even more. He was forcing himself to hang in there. Gently, he reached out and caressed Qi Qingchen’s face, combing back her wet hair. In a cool tone, he said, “Don’t worry, you will not have suffered all of these for nothing. Later on, I will cut You Tianni’s head right off his neck.”
On hearing this, Qi Qingchen shook her heavy head and turned to the sky. Different expressions crossed her face. Finally, through gritted teeth, she said, “Jiang Yi, You Tianni… cannot die. At the very least, you cannot be the one to kill him. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi smiled gently. Determined, he turned to Qi Qingchen and said, “I’m in enough trouble as it is. I don’t mind getting deeper into trouble. You Tianni almost ruined your chastity and almost killed me and Poison Spirit. If I don’t take revenge, am I still considered a man? Don’t worry, I would be the one who killed You Tianni. This will have nothing to do with you. I’ll take the punishment!”
“Uh…”
As Jiang Yi was holding onto Qi Qingchen, Qi Qingchen could only see the side of his face. She looked at his determined expression and his ice-cold gaze. Her heart felt strangely warm. She thought that Jiang Yi had wanted to kill You Tianni without regard for anything else because of her. For some reason, she was moved.
Still, she shook her head and said, “You cannot kill him. If we want to do it, I’ll kill him. If you dare to kill You Tianni, nobody will let you off. Once we go back to the Demon-Buster Army, they will execute you. You won’t even get a chance to explain yourself…”
Buzz!
Jiang Yi wasted no time talking nonsense. He retrieved a serving of recuperation medicine and fed it to Qi Qingchen and then focused his essence force on breaking the seal on her heavenly powers. Then, he kept her inside his Chaos Essence Pearl. Just before he did, he said one thing: “Women should not care about men’s affairs. Go back inside and recuperate. I know what to do!”
Qi Qingchen was too weak, and she was so gravely injured. She had no energy to object at all. She could only go obediently into the Chaos Essence Pearl. Jiang Yi turned to face Poison Spirit and said, “Poison Spirit, you are quite seriously injured as well. Do you want to go in and recuperate?”
“There is no need!”
Poison Spirit grinned. “When I was being hunted down back then, I saw many more tragic and cruel sights. As long as I am still alive, I will be alright. I’ll help Young Lord out.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi did not force Poison Spirit either. After all, he was much stronger at surveillance then Jiang Yi was. Although one of Poison Spirit’s hands had exploded into pieces, and the entire left side of his body was a blur of raw flesh and blood, his injuries were still under control. He could still move around without much difficulty. He would be alright as long as he was not required to fight.
The two of them immediately flew out into the distance. They were too close to You Tianni and company here, and they were afraid that something might go wrong. Jiang Yi used his Fire Dragon Sword to gather more Sword Emanations Race beings in order to surround and kill You Tianni and the rest.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
More and more Sword Emanations Race beings flew over, creating more and more layers of barriers around them. At that moment, there were probably more than two million Sword Emanations Race beings in the sky. Yet, the size of the army was still obviously increasing before their very eyes!
Gulp, Gulp!
Poison Spirit looked at the Sword Emanations Race beings covering the sky, forming countless walls around You Tianni and the group like a beehive. He gulped down a mouthful of saliva and then curiously glanced at the Fire Dragon Sword for a couple of seconds. At last, he could not hold himself back any longer. “Young Lord, how did your sword swallow the Sword Emanations King? How did you take control of the Sword Emanations Race beings?”
Jiang Yi raised his Fire Dragon Sword and surveyed it as well. He kept silent and did not bother to answer the first question. This sword was too strong. The fewer people who knew about his secret, the safer he would be. Although Poison Spirit was considered his, Jiang Yi did not want to explain too much to him.
He answered the second question, saying, “All the Sword Emanations Race beings are clones of the Sword Emanations King. If I can control the Sword Emanations King, I can naturally control all one trillion of the Sword Emanations Race beings.”
“One trillion? Ss, ss…”
Poison Spirit sucked in several breaths. There were so many Sword Emanations Race beings. If Jiang Yi gathered them all here, even King-Ranked martial artists would be tortured to death, wouldn’t they?
After all, there was a limit to human power. The Sword Emanations Race beings’ aura had a subtle impact, too. Wasn’t that why Qi Qingchen became extremely weak after fighting them for fourteen to eighteen hours? Although Qi Qingchen had just ascended to become a King-Ranked martial artist and her battle skills were still unstable, this also showed how terrifying the Sword Emanations Race was.
“Don’t bother about too much. Go back and recuperate first. These twenty people are still quite stubborn and hard-headed. It will probably take some time to kill them.
Jiang Yi employed the Art of Concealment and hid in a small valley. Then, he entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and began to recuperate. Poison Spirit was using his skills nearby as well, to survey the surroundings. Jiang Yi had already made up his mind about killing You Tianni. There was not much Poison Spirit could do to persuade him otherwise.
The two of them left the middle of the battlefield to a place about fifty kilometers away. They left hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings near them, so that even if back-up soldiers came after them, they did not need to fear. From this distance, Poison Spirit could easily keep a close eye on You Tianni and the others, and Jiang Yi could use his Fire Dragon Sword to sense the situation. They did not need to fear that You Tianni would suddenly break out of the group of Sword Emanations Race beings.
Time passed slowly, and a few hours passed just like that!
Jiang Yi’s heart was as hard as steel. From beginning to end, he did not change his mind about wanting to kill You Tianni. Finally, people were beginning to die. The Titled Battle Gods were quite powerful; each of them could take one side and work together, so that each person did not have to endure such immense pressure. Logically, they should not have fallen so quickly.
The problem was with You Tianni. Everybody was too concerned that You Tianni would get injured. However, in the heat of his anger, You Tianni attacked crazily, causing many formidable martial artists to be distracted by their desire to protect him. This group was as messy as a bowl of porridge. Many people even got stabbed by You Tianni on several occasions.
You Tianni’s character was stubborn. On seeing him this way, You Hong initially wanted to send him into his spatial divine item to take a rest. Yet, You Tianni refused. He threw a tantrum and kept threatening and cursing Jiang Yi. He kept attacking the Sword Emanations Race beings. At that moment, two people got killed because of him!
Bang!
You Hong could not bear it any longer. He dealt a harsh blow on the back of You Tianni’s head and threw him—unconscious—into his spatial divine item. The group continued to hold their formation, joining forces to defend the group against the surrounding enemies.
This turned out to be much better for them. At the very least, they were no longer in a mess. However, the group sent their divine senses to scan the surroundings and found that there were tens of kilometers of Sword Emanations Race beings around them. Their hearts sank. Jiang Yi was really determined to torture them to death this time. Could they survive?
