"Many thanks to Lord Qing Ling!"
Although Jiang Yi's soul spirit still had dizzy pangs and the black light energy that Dao Leng had shot at him still remained in a small amount, Jiang Yi was still full of praise and thankfulness.
He had gambled right!
The Divine Tree leaf was so strong. The poisonous fog kept on seeping through his Heavenly Wind Armor. Although he felt as if his body was being corroded at a frightening pace—after Jiang Yi had injected heavenly powers into the Divine Tree leaf, a white light shone on his body. The poisonous fog could no longer penetrate through it, and his corroded body was instantly healed.
After entering the poisonous fog, Jiang Yi was automatically released from the illusion zone. As Dao Nù could no longer control his mirror, he naturally could no longer trap Jiang Yi's soul spirit in the illusion zone.
Hearing the horrible cries from behind him, Jiang Yi had a bad feeling about it. Dao Leng had not managed to save Dao Ren? Would Dao Nù, in his rage, give the order to kill Phantom King, Earth Emanations Sovereign, and Wintry Sovereign?
Tsk! Tsk!
The black smoke that was rising from the mummy's body pulled Jiang Yi back to reality. He shook his head and decided not to think about Earth Emanations Sovereign and the others for now. He didn't dare to do so, actually. He could only pray that fortune would shine on them, and they had been rescued by Heavenly King Wei.
The mummy's body was extremely strong, and not even Merged Flames could destroy it. However, this poisonous fog was so lethal that the mummy was smoking. It evidently couldn't withstand for long. If it remained within the poisonous fog, it probably would be corroded away.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to keep his mummy and inject the Power of Heaven and Earth into his own body. His speed rose and was now not that much weaker than the mummy's. He did not hesitate as he sent his Heaven-Swallowing Beast into his soul spirit to devour the remaining black light energy while he flew towards the Poison Devil Wasteland.
He lamented a little that if he knew earlier the Divine Tree leaf could resist the poisonous fog, he would have long entered this place. This poisonous fog could block divine senses; if he had hidden here, how could Dao Nù and Dao Leng have found him?
"Jiang Yi, die, die, die!"
From behind him, howls reverberated as Jiang Yi cried out bitterly internally. Dao Nù and Dao Leng had probably become lunatics by now. He wondered how much effect the poisonous fog had on the two of them. If the effect was significant, he still had a chance at survival; if not, he was going to die miserably.
Tsk! Tsk!
A strange sound rang out behind. Jiang Yi turned and saw a poisonous fog surging forward, followed by huge giant palms of energy. Dao Nù and Dao Leng had started their assault. They were planning to dispel the poisonous fog around themselves so that they would be affected less and then could easily find Jiang Yi.
"Big Brother, this way!"
Dao Leng's shout rang out. From the spatial fluctuations, he had discovered Jiang Yi's tracks. Following that, a few palms of energy split through the air. Jiang Yi was not fast enough and was struck by one such palm as he was sent flying forward.
"Pfff…"
"Oh no, it seems the two are not that affected by the poisonous fog?"
Jiang Yi's heart sank. If the two could deal with the poisonous fog easily—even if he fled deep into the Poison Devil Wasteland, death still awaited him.
"Chase!"
On the other side, Dao Nù and Dao Leng speedily tracked Jiang Yi. At this time, they both started to wear battle armors. However, their faces were smoking; the excruciating pain was distorting their features.
The two both wore Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure battle armors and not Primordial Spiritual Treasure battle armors. Although Dao Nù had a Primordial Spiritual Treasure—the black-gold shield, the problem was could it block against the poisonous fog?
Despite their bodies slowly corroding and an excruciating pain was surging through them, the two were suppressing the pain and had not cried out once. Their eyes were cold as steel, and they were filled with rage, killing intent, and craziness. If they didn't kill Jiang Yi today, they were not going to let it rest.
What annoyed the two was the poisonous fog was so thick; they couldn't tell their sense of direction. Jiang Yi's direction kept on changing, and the two's divine senses could not lock onto Jiang Yi. They could only figure out his position from sound.
However, as Jiang Yi's direction kept changing and his speed did not slow, the two had no choice but to keep on dispelling the poisonous elements around them to prevent their bodies from corroding quickly. This actually severely hampered their ability to properly lock onto Jiang Yi's position.
Furthermore…
Jiang Yi actually chose not to avoid some attacks coming his way and took them head-on. This actually accelerated his speed and the two's killing moves all missed him.
Dao Leng's eyes narrowed as he suddenly injected heavenly powers into his voice and shouted, "Jiang Yi, stop! If not, I will immediately send word to kill your grandfather and the other two!"
Jiang Yi's voice traveled quickly back to them. "Hahaha, are you trying to scare a child? Heavenly King Wei and company have probably rescued them already, right? Tell you guys honestly: Heavenly King Wei and company had immediately mobilized the minute I left. Why am I fleeing here? I want them to catch up and rescue me."
Dao Nù and Dao Leng's faces changed. However, Dao Leng was very smart. His eyes shifted as he laughed out loud and said, "Rescued them? Jiang Yi, don't count on that. I will tell you honestly: the moment you had appeared in the Longyuan Mystic Realm, I had already killed the trio; not a single bone was left. Could Wei Pingping head to the Netherworld Realm to rescue your grandfather and the others?"
Boom!
As if thunder from a clear sky striking, Jiang Yi's body shook violently. His mind became blank as it was filled with Dao Leng's words that reverberated repeatedly.
"Dead? Are they really dead?"
Jiang Yi listlessly murmured to himself. If Earth Emanations Sovereign, Wintry Sovereign, and Phantom King were really dead; he didn't know how to be accountable to Mo Lingqiu, Mo Huaisang, Yi Piaopiao, and Qi Qingchen. Even if he escaped this time—even if he could flee back to the Earth Domain, would he have the face to face everyone?
Swish!
Dao Leng's words were very effective and struck Jiang Yi dumb as he instinctively paused. Although Jiang Yi only paused for a few seconds, Dao Leng and Dao Nù had already caught up to him.
The two did not hesitate as they immediately attacked. A spatial disturbance occurred above Jiang Yi's head as the poisonous fog was dispelled as a huge, golden, divine-like claw swiped downwards. A tricolored sword light also emerged from Dao Leng's battle saber and hacked directly at Jiang Yi's back.
Jiang Yi was startled by the horrifying auras coming his way as his eyes started to flash devilishly. His ring lit up, and a hexagonal jade talisman appeared. He quickly broke it apart.
That's right, he broke apart Dao Ren's Divine Escape Talisman!
This was his last escape route; however, this was a road of no return. Previously, no matter how dangerous things were, he had not used this Divine Escape Talisman. He knew that if he went to the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak, he would not have a chance at fleeing anymore; the Azure Supreme Thearch would definitely personally kill him!
The Dao Clan resorting to doing something as despicable as holding people hostage, that meant that the Dao Clan was out of options. Once this matter spread throughout the world, the Dao Clan and Azure Supreme Thearch's reputation would be utterly gone. Since that was the case, why did the Dao Clan still go ahead with this plan?
Only one explanation made sense… to kill Jiang Yi at all costs was an order given by Azure Supreme Thearch himself. Jiang Yi breaking the Divine Escape Talisman and teleporting to the Azure Region would also be made known to the Azure Supreme Thearch. There was only one way things would end then.
However, what alternative did Jiang Yi have?
Since he would die if he remained here as well and Dao Leng had said that Phantom King and the others had been killed, Jiang Yi actually grew a little crazy. He didn't care about anything else, and he decided to teleport to the Azure Region. He was going to go on a killing spree.
Even if he died, he wanted the Dao Clan to pay a heavy price.
