“Kid, where did you get this thing?”
The Demon Emperor waved her hand, dismissing the restriction of the space. The tier-three demonic beasts, which were rushing towards Jiang Yi, suddenly made a detour and ran ahead.
Jiang Yi was standing together with an extremely enchanting lady while being surrounded by horrific demonic beasts which totally ignored the two of them. They were like a steel current that surged forward, forming strange scenery.
“Gulp, Gulp!”
At this moment, Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent automatically withdrew; and his immobilized body was now able to move while the Earth Fire surrounding his body was still bursting around. He looked at this enchanting lady in front of him and gulped down a few times. He wasn’t feeling lustful; he was nervous. Perhaps, it was because she was the emperor class of the demon race, or perhaps because of her overwhelming strength… or perhaps it was the aura on her body that naturally made others nervous, panic, and helpless.
He was truly unable to even lift his sword, and his strongest attack method had been effortlessly neutralized by her. This Fire Spirit Rock was able to burn through the restriction set by the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons and could even destroy the saint artifact, Man-Ruler Seal. This Fire Spirit Rock was like an omnipotent existence in Jiang Yi’s eyes, but it was actually caught hold by a lady easily with her hand.
Demon Emperor!
She was an existence that was comparable to a peak-stage Vajra Realm or a Heaven Monarch Realm absolute expert, but Jiang Yi didn’t know about all these; he just knew that he was finished.
Since he was going to die!
Why bother to even answer her question? Humans and demonic beasts were natural enemies. Jiang Yi naturally viewed this Demon Empress with hatred, which was why he stubbornly shut his mouth and remained silent.
There was a trace of anger on the woman’s face when she saw that Jiang Yi didn’t speak. Her eyes quickly regained composure as she spoke, “Kid, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear what this Empress said? Do you believe that this Empress has ten thousand ways to let you suffer a fate that is even more miserable than death?”
Jiang Yi remained silent, like an obstinate child staring at the woman with a mocking smile. He was obviously saying: ‘This Young Master doesn’t believe you. If you are unhappy, then try me.’
“Bang!”
The woman was furious. She casually swung her hand, instantly bursting apart the layers of Earth Fire surrounding Jiang Yi with a formless patterned wave, causing the flames to turn into smoke. Jiang Yi’s body flew out as he violently spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood in mid-air before finally crashing onto the surface hundreds of meters away, causing the ground to shake.
“Ss, ss…”
Jiang Yi could feel many of his bones breaking. He twitched his mouth and struggled to stand up. Even though his body was overflowing with blood, he continued to look at the woman from afar.
If he was going to die, he would die standing!
“Howl-Howl!””Wu-Wu!””Chi-Chi!”
Several different roars of various demonic beasts echoed constantly, their bodies covering half of the sky. The vicious presences of the formidable demonic beasts caused Jiang Yi’s body to tremble even more. His legs were actually soft, and if it wasn’t for that his reluctant attitude, he would have already collapsed on the ground.
“Hmph!”
The woman who called herself the Empress let out a cold snort. That palm strike earlier was actually reserved, and she didn’t kill Jiang Yi? She then drifted towards the sky as she tipped herself off the ground, ultimately ignoring Jiang Yi as she flew across the sky.
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi blinked his eyes while in a daze, looking at the horrific demonic beasts which surrounded him with some confusion. Why didn’t the Demon Empress kill him? Why didn’t all these demonic beasts attack him and detoured around him before they continued to advance? Was he actually in a dream? The pain that mulled in his body told him that everything was real.
“Kid, go back and tell the martial experts of the humans. This Empress didn’t break any rules, but you humans crossed the line first! Actually kidnapping my precious daughter, Xiao Fei? If they don’t release my daughter, this Empress will turn you humans into a river of blood. If my daughter suffers any form of injury, this Empress will cleanse the whole continent with blood!”
A sentence suddenly echoed in Jiang Yi’s ears; it was the Demon Empress who was sending a message. Jiang Yi’s body shuddered and finally understood why did the demonic beasts have an insurrection. It was actually because a human kidnapped the daughter of the Demon Empress? This Demon Empress didn’t kill him because she wanted him to be a messenger, right?
“Hu-Hu…”
Jiang Yi let out a long breath. It was best if he didn’t have to die; who actually desired for death? His thought moved quickly and felt that something was wrong.
If the Demon Empress wanted to send a message, she could slaughter half of a city and then use them as messengers, which would help to spread this news quickly. He had obviously infuriated her so why would she let him go?
“Can it be because of the Fire Spirit Rock?”
Jiang Yi recalled that the Demon Empress did inquire where he obtained the Fire Spirit Rock. While still bewildered, his eyes flickered and quickly lit up as he exclaimed, “Precious daughter Xiao Fei? Xiao Fei? Why did this name sound so familiar? That’s right… the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox!”
Back at the nearby vicinity of Mt. Spirit Beast College, he once frenziedly hunted demonic beast for a period of time and also met this strange little fox, who truly wanted to be friends with humans. It was a fox that could also send messages to speak, and its name was Xiao Fei!
“Such a horrifying aura. It must be it. This Demon Empress must be Xiao Fei’s mother!”
Jiang Yi recalled the time when he released the little fox, and there was this extremely horrific aura that suddenly came from within the Mt. Black Clouds. That aura immediately caused him to faint, and now that he thought back to it, that aura was probably released by this Demon Empress.
“Could it be because of Xiao Fei that this Demon Empress didn’t kill me?”
Jiang Yi rubbed his nose half-consciously. In this short period of time, the formidable demonic beasts were already far away; but there was still a whole mountain of demonic beasts at the back. There was an obvious difference in tiers as Jiang Yi could only see tier-two peak-grade demonic beasts.
“Roar-Roar!”
Tier-two demonic beasts didn’t have high spirit wisdom. As many demonic beasts looked at Jiang Yi from afar, there were over a dozen of demonic beasts that shot towards Jiang Yi, obviously preparing to swallow Jiang Yi alive.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi snapped out of his senses. If he continued to stay here, he would probably be entrapped in an endless assault. He released the Massacre Intent from his body and quickly dove back into the tunnel that he got out from. He then summoned the Zouwu Beast and rode it straight towards Mt. Spirit Beast College.
The Massacre Intent was very effective and could effortlessly suppress a tier-two peak-stage demonic beast. The formidable underground demonic beasts had already gone ahead, and Jiang Yi couldn’t sense any pressure anymore. He controlled the Zouwu Beast and rushed thousands of miles ahead.
“Hu-Hu…”
The next time he emerged onto the surface and found that there were no demonic beasts around, he had this delight written on his face as he had just survived a calamity, it felt as though a lifetime had passed.
“I have to go and inform this news to Zhuge Qingyun and to the rest of the continent. Otherwise, if that group of brazen fools was to kill the Demon Empress’ daughter, this continent would surely turn into a river of blood and a mountain of bones!”
Jiang Yi didn’t stop for a long time before he immediately dove back into the ground with the Zouwu Beast. He was originally not far from Mt. Spirit Beast College, and after making haste for such a long time, he was probably just half a day away from the college.
The humans were going to suffer a calamity soon. Jiang Yi might be a criminal of treason and had killed countless humans as well, but he was still a human at heart. In the face of such a calamity, he naturally wanted to help the human race at all costs to survive this upcoming calamity.
