“They are here!”
There were three individuals seated on the trees while two thousand others rushed into the Ghost Woods. Jiang Yi opened his eyes once he noticed it and called out, causing Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei to suddenly open their eyes—all were filled with killing intent.
“Give me your medals!”
Jiang Yi extended his hand while the two of them immediately handed over their medals for Jiang Yi to keep in the Fire Spirit Pearl. With a wave of Jiang Yi’s hand, the three of them rushed into the underground tunnel like primates.
“Let’s go and wipe out the people in the east!” Jiang Yi roared out and rushed into the tunnel that was dug beforehand.
Originally, this tunnel would be extremely difficult to dig because of all the intertwined tree roots; but with Yun Fei, there wasn’t any other problem. Yun Fei had the Astral Body of the Wood which complemented her cultivation of an ancient type of sorcery: controlling all kind of plants. Just as she performed it back at the Mt. Spirit Beast College—where she controlled the underground vines to restrain Jiang Yi twice. During these two days, she had been shifting the roots of the trees in the Ghost Woods, allowing Jiang Yi to dig many underground tunnels, turning it into a subterranean maze with intersecting tunnels.
“Stop!”
After running for a distance, Jiang Yi stopped and turned to look at Yun Fei, “How many people are coming over here? How many Soul Travel Realm experts?”
Yun Fei closed her eyes, and her body had this yellow light reaction before she quickly replied, “A total of 700 to 800 individuals. 26 Soul Travel Realm experts.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang exchanged eye contact before the former spoke, “Wushuang, let’s take out those 26 individuals first. Leave the rest of the Purple Mansion Realm fighters to me. Yun Fei will pay attention to protect our safety.”
With regard to the battle plan, the three of them had already discussed for a long time; and there wasn’t a need to speak too much. Zhan Wushuang nodded as the two of them split up and traveled through their respective tunnels.
The eastern side of the Ghost Woods was indeed cluttered with people. The Soul Travel Realm experts were walking at the front, separated by several hundreds of feet between every two individuals. They were constantly using the medals to sense the surroundings, searching for Jiang Yi.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
A Soul Travel Realm expert at the front suddenly moved. A figure flew down from above, giving this Soul Travel Realm expert and the nearby dozen of Purple Mansion Realm martial artists a shock. They reacted quickly, and that Soul Travel Realm expert immediately lifted his hand to release a sword force.
“Bang!”
Something appeared to be odd when this figure—hung by a piece of rope—simply flew over in a straight line while being easily hit by the sword force, bursting into mince. A head rolled over to the group while everyone looked with fear.
“This isn’t right. This is a corpse!”
The Soul Travel Realm expert had a change in expression when he saw the corpse. At this moment, the mud beside him suddenly burst apart. A green figure shot out while wielding a black longsword, slashing down at the Soul Travel Realm expert with violent winds. The other hand glowed with black light as a crossbow bolt pierced through the air at lightning speed.
“Ah?”
The Soul Travel Realm expert’s reaction was fast and had begun his counterattack at the first notice, but Jiang Yi’s appearance was too sudden, and his attention was attracted by the corpse that descended from below. He moved just in time to block against the first attack but was simply hit in the head by the God-Exterminating Crossbow. His body flew against the strong impact while half of his head burst open, resulting in instant death.
“Jiang Yi? Kill him!”
All the nearby martial artists were woken up by the shock and immediately rushed at Jiang Yi. The Soul Travel Realm experts, who were in the distant, also swiftly ran over in their direction. After Jiang Yi killed one of the Soul Travel Realm experts, he didn’t have any hints of hesitation as he rushed back into the underground hole that he burst out from and vanished underground.
“Bang!”
A few of the Purple Mansion Realm fighters followed Jiang Yi and dashed into the tunnels, too, but a bizarre thing happened. The underground tunnel was suddenly blocked by thick tree roots that suddenly shifted.
“Clang-Clang!”
A Purple Mansion Realm martial artist swung the saber and cleaved vigorously. Apart from sparks and sound of metal clashing, his weapon did nearly no damage to the tree roots.
“Give way; let me do it!”
A Soul Travel Realm expert burst out with a shout and shot out a crescent-shaped saber light which slashed at the tree root.
“Boom!”
A loud explosion echoed, giving rise to a layer of dust and causing a huge tree by the side to shake drastically. When the dust settled, everyone looked over and realized that there was only a superficial scratch on the surface of the tree root.
“Bang!”
The surface of the ground beside the Soul Travel Realm which released the attack suddenly burst open. A man wearing black armor shot out as two eagle talons shining with golden light suddenly grabbed onto the Soul Travel Realm expert’s legs, which were about to forcefully tear him apart.
“You must be tired of living!”
A dagger appeared in the hand of the Soul Travel Realm expert, which glowed as essence force was poured into it. He thrust the dagger vigorously at the head of the man who was grasping onto his legs.
“Ah—!”
No one would have expected for this person to actually remain motionless while his body glowed with golden light instead. He pulled with both his talons and forcefully tore the Soul Travel Realm expert into two segments. Until death, that Soul Travel Realm expert had this look of disbelief; his dagger had obviously stabbed this person’s head, but it felt as though the dagger hit on black iron and was repelled.
“The Battle God Race, Zhan Wushuang!”
Someone realized it. Only the Special Race’s Battle God Race, who possessed the Battle God Glory Light divine skill, could have such a tough flesh and a body radiating with golden light—like an unrivaled deity.
“Swish!”
After killing a single individual, Zhan Wushuang immediately dug back into the tunnel, too, while the yellow tree roots quickly extended and blocked the entrance of the tunnel.
“Bang!”
Just as everyone was still in shock, another figure burst out from the other direction. This time, the figure burst out from directly beneath a Soul Travel Realm expert while emitting dreadful flames from the body, instantly incinerating the Soul Travel Realm expert into ashes.
“This…”
Many Purple Mansion Realm martial artists revealed a fearful look on their faces. This was the first time they encountered such a strange situation—which even terrified some Soul Travel Realm experts.
Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang had a complete grasp of their whereabouts, but they couldn’t sense the two of them using the medal. Moreover, the two of them could launch sneak attacks from below; but they didn’t have any chance to pursue them and could only wait like a fool for them to attack.
They couldn’t attack and were on the suffering side? What else was there to do?
“Dig a hole!”
One of the Soul Travel Realm experts shouted out as he drew his weapon and began to dig a hole while the rest of the martial artists realized it as well. If they were able to dig a few tunnels and hide underground… and surround Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang with their quantity, they would definitely be dead.
“Bang!”
Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang incessantly burst out from underneath and killed Soul Travel Realm experts. They dug the ground for over a few hundred meters but found out that it was all yellow thick tree roots, which were dense and intertwined, not allowing them to dig any hole.
“A tunnel has been dug here!”
When the remaining Soul Travel Realm experts were about to give the orders for retreat, a Purple Mansion Realm fighter suddenly exclaimed out with exultation. Over a dozen Soul Travel Realm experts gathered together and headed towards the hole.
“We will rush in first; follow up close behind us!”
The Soul Travel Realm experts gritted their teeth while exchanging looks. They all released their essence forces respectively while blasting the hole under them. One of the experts wielding a spirit artifact took the lead and charged underground.
“Hahaha! There is a path to heaven, but you choose to barge in the doorless hell!”
When the Soul Travel Realm experts descended into the spacious tunnel, a cold and indistinct voice echoed. Jiang Yi walked over slowly from a tunnel and looked at these Soul Travel Realm experts as if he was looking at a bunch of dead men.
