Silence!
After Jiang Yi roared what he did, all the young masters stopped their shouting. None of them dared to make a single sound. Some of them even stopped midway while flying, their expressions masks of terror.
A few of these young masters had taken part in the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament. They saw the shocking scene of Jiang Yi scolding the Phantom King—a scene none of them had ever seen before.
This time, they were thoroughly frightened. Someone actually dared to scold a King-Ranked formidable martial artist to his face? This was one of the three supreme commanders of the Demon-Buster Army, no less. This was not something ordinary people would even think of doing. In many of their hearts, the three supreme commanders were on equal standing as the Green Eagle King and Phantom King. They dared not even discuss their actions behind their backs, much less scold them to their faces.
Heavenly King You’s expressionless face suddenly darkened. He did not spout any more nonsense. Instead, he became even more violent. At terrifying speed, he charged at the army of Sword Emanations Race beings.
In fifteen minutes—just fifteen minutes, Heavenly King You was in the middle of the Sword Emanations Race Army.
A magnificent pagoda appeared in his hands, absorbing You Hong and the others in at once. Then, he turned around… not to go back to where he came from but to fly towards the west. That was where Jiang Yi was headed. He was completely angered now. If he did not deal with Jiang Yi, he could forget about remaining a commander from then.
“Ah…”
He had just covered a couple of kilometers when a pained cry was heard in the north. The Sword Emanations Race beings had lost their target and were beginning to attack anyone at random. Since the remaining fifteen thousand soldiers of the army were heading towards them, they inevitably became the new targets of the Sword Emanations Race beings.
“Flee!”
“Heavenly King You, save us!”
“Heavenly King You, please rescue us…”
On seeing the dense group of Sword Emanations Race beings rushing towards them, the entire army became scared stiff. Even with formidable martial artists around, they instinctively cried out to Heavenly King You to save them instead of depending on their own skills to get themselves out of the predicament.
Heavenly King You scanned the scene, anger filling his gaze. There were so many people to rescue, and this would take up a lot of his time for sure. However, these were young masters of the various great family clans. If they all perished and it was discovered that he had stood by to watch this happen, the family clans would be angered for sure. What’s more, these people had agreed to come out under the leadership of You Tianni. Heavenly King You could not just stand by and watch them die, could he?
“Everyone, gather together. Don’t panic. Defend yourself for now!”
Heavenly King You roared. He had no choice but to fly towards the north, leaving Jiang Yi to run for now. In a heat of anger, he attacked without restraint. In ten minutes, he arrived near the army. By that time, less than eight thousand soldiers out of the fifteen thousand remained.
The good thing was that his spatial divine item was big enough. It could contain eight million people, much less eight thousand. In a single sweep, he absorbed all of them into his spatial divine item and charged out of the dense group of Sword Emanations Race beings once again. He headed in the direction that Jiang Yi was running.
A period of time had already passed. Jiang Yi already disappeared without a trace. Even though Heavenly King You’s divine senses were powerful, he could not sense further than a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius. What’s more, the space in this mystic realm was rather stiff.
Although he could find no trace of Jiang Yi, Heavenly King You was not in the least bit worried.
He was extremely angry now, angrier than he had ever been. Ever since he had become a supreme commander of the Demon-Buster Army, this was the first time he felt so humiliated. Even if it was a King-Ranked martial artist who was behind what happened today, Heavenly King You would kill him without hesitation. Much more would he hunt Jiang Yi down and kill him.
His divine senses kept sweeping around. At the same time, he closed his eyes and focused on his senses, trying to find any little clue that might lead him to Jiang Yi. Very quickly, he discovered the faint smell of blood somewhere in the sky. On the ground, there were even traces of blood. This was the smell of the Poison Spirit and Jiang Yi’s blood. Ordinary people would never have sensed it. However, he was of the Divine Yang Race. His senses were more powerful than ordinary people’s.
As fast as he could, he charged towards the Sword Emanations Race beings. He flew towards the left, following the smell of the blood that Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit left behind. In just five minutes, he completely shook off the Sword Emanations Race beings. He was traveling at top speed.
“Little bastard. If I find you, I will chop your body into tens of thousands of pieces!”
Heavenly King You shouted through gritted teeth. He was already traveling as fast he could towards the smell of the blood, and yet ten minutes in, he discovered that something was amiss. The smell of the blood was intensifying, and he could still see traces of blood on the ground!
Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit were injured, and Jiang Yi had coughed up a mouthful of blood because of Heavenly King You’s attack, but too much time had already passed. Given the two of their skills, their bodies should have stopped bleeding by now.
Yet, Heavenly King You had already chased them this far. He could not give up then, could he?
Heavenly King You knew that he might have fallen for a trick, but he continued to advance forward, turning a blind eye to his instincts. After a while, he finally found the source of the blood. He had indeed fallen for a trick. In front of him, a Sword Emanations Race being carried a dismembered leg on its back, flying at top speed. There was no sign of Jiang Yi or the Poison Spirit nearby.
“Ah, Ah—!”
Heavenly King You roared in anger. He aggressively thrust his palm forward, reducing the Sword Emanations Race being in front of him to dust. Then, he turned one round to survey his surroundings. Without any regard for direction, he flew around and around. His speed was so fast; he could not believe that Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit could escape from under his very nose!
He kept flying in random directions and met many Sword Emanations Race beings along the way. However, he quickly made detours and flew right past them. Throughout this entire time, Heavenly King You remained very careful. Each time he met a Sword Emanations Race being, he inspected the surroundings closely to make sure that Jiang Yi was not hiding close by.
He searched for them in this way for eight hours straight!
Heavenly King You’s body suddenly halted in midair. His fiery gaze cooled down as he began to analyze the situation. In eight hours, he had covered all land within a fifty-million-kilometer radius. Still, he could not find Jiang Yi or the Poison Spirit.
Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit were both injured. Even if they were not, they could not have escaped so quickly. That means that one thing was clear: either the two of them were in hiding and Heavenly King You could not find them or he was searching in the wrong direction.
His divine senses were extremely strong. If Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit were in hiding, there was no way that he would not be able to find them. What was the problem?
“We have been tricked!”
Since Heavenly King You could become a commander of the Demon-Buster Army, he was naturally not an idiot. After thinking for several seconds, he finally shouted in rage. He turned around immediately, flying back towards the place where the Sword Emanations Race beings had surrounded You Tianni initially.
The most dangerous place was the safest!
Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit could not have escaped so quickly. There was only one explanation: the two of them made a big detour to return to the starting point. Heavenly King You had searched everywhere in three different directions from the starting point and still could not locate the two of them. That must mean that the two of them turned around and went back.
Heavenly King You was thoroughly angered now. He had been played by a little bastard twice in a row. Even saints would throw a tantrum. If news of this spread, the reputation that he spent his entire life building up would be destroyed immediately. If he had only thought about killing Jiang Yi before, this thought had become etched into his brain right now. Even if the Earth Emanations Sovereign stepped out today, he would still kill Jiang Yi for sure.
As expected!
He quickly discovered the problem as he was flying back. Countless Sword Emanations Race beings were flying around that area. It was very likely that Jiang Yi was using his demonic arts to summon these Sword Emanations Race beings.
His guess was correct. However, when he arrived at the original battlefield, he became stunned into silence!
That was because… there was a dense group of Sword Emanations Race beings, covering all the mountains and plains around. The Sword Emanations Race beings seemed to pile up like a gigantic mountain that Heavenly King You could not even see where the army ended. A piercing and terrifying killing intent traveled towards him, causing even the winds to stop.
“There must be at least fifty million Sword Emanations Race beings here, right? What kind of demonic arts is Jiang Yi employing? How can he control so many Sword Emanations Race beings?”
Heavenly King You sucked in a deep breath, his gaze turning cool. He locked in on Jiang Yi, who was hiding behind the huge Sword Emanations Race army. Then, in a cool voice, he shouted, “Jiang Yi, do you think gathering so many Sword Emanations Race beings would save your life? You will surely die today. Nobody will be able to save you!”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit were seated cross-legged on the peak of a huge mountain. Around them were tens of thousands of barriers of Sword Emanations Race beings. When he heard Heavenly King You’s voice, he mocked, “Old dog, I have been waiting here for you to come after me. Do you think you are invincible just because you are a supreme commander of the Demon-Buster Army? If you dare to attack me, I will make sure that there is no turning back for you!”
