“Hmph!”
Jiang Yi didn’t retreat immediately. Using vines to trap people? It might be able to trap others, but it wouldn’t be able to trap him! A simple instant shift was enough for him to escape, but he was releasing the Massacre Intent, hoping to suppress Lu Lao and making him stop releasing the sorcery.
He didn’t expect that after releasing the Massacre Intent, Lu Lao’s body was still radiating with green light and didn’t have signs of being suppressed. Instead, the three behind him were affected. They might still be a distance away, but they could still feel the suppression. One of them shouted, “Young Master Yi, he is burning his sorcery powers and soul spirit! Your Massacre Intent will not influence him! Young Master Yi, find a method to escape and don’t bother about us!”
Pong! Pong!
The other two used the heaven artifacts to chop off the wood in their surroundings. They were shocked when they would out that their strength of peak-stage Soul Travel Realm and heaven artifact… could only chop off one or two vines. It was obvious that the vines were all mutated and were frighteningly tough! Furthermore, the vines and tree branches surged in from all directions, and their chopping speed was unable to keep up.
“Not good! There is poison in the green weeds!”
One of them suddenly exclaimed. Both his legs were wrapped around by some weeds, which he sliced off immediately. The pants on his legs were already corroded, and both his legs were drenched in fresh blood.
This ancient sorcery is ferocious!
Jiang Yi was astonished as he immediately released the Earth Fire to prevent his body from being corroded. He rushed at Lu Lao cleaving vigorously at Lu Lao with the Fire Dragon Sword in his hand!
Tsk-Tsk!
Countless vines, branches, and weeds surged up in front of Lu Lao, forming a wall of trees to block the Fire Dragon Sword’s attack. The Fire Dragon Sword’s attack was very powerful, but it was only able to cleave half of this wall of trees.
Swish!
When Jiang Yi noticed that the Earth Fire was much more effective than the Fire Dragon Sword, he constantly released the Earth Fire while advancing. All those branches and vines radiating green light would be swiftly incinerated by the Earth Fire, but the speed wasn’t fast enough and was far slower than the extending speed of the branches and vines!
“Ah…”
The three peak stage Soul Travel Realm experts were obviously trapped, and the cage was constantly shrinking while weeds, branches, and vines would be wrapped around them. Even though the three of them had formidable strength, they were still unable to escape. Their bodies were constantly corroded, and it would probably take just a short moment before they turn into three sets of bones.
I have to do it!
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and took out the Fire Spirit Rock and threw it forward suddenly. If he didn’t kill this person, it would be hard to break out of this prison. Yun Lu’s speed might be slow, but if he had enough time, he might be able to escape.
With only eight Fire Spirit Rocks left, every time he used one, it would be one less. It was also the strongest trump card that Jiang Yi had. Seeing how special this situation was, he had no choice but to use one.
The temperature of the Fire Spirit Rock was much more terrifying than the Earth Fire, which could burn through the restriction set by the Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons and even saint artifacts. These trees and vines might be abnormally tough after being enhanced by the mystical sorcery art but were still helpless against the Fire Spirit Rock. Wherever the Fire Spirit Rock flew to, all the branches and vines would be incinerated, easily burning a giant hole.
“Ah—!”
Jiang Yi was just a few tens of meters away from Lu Lao, and the Fire Spirit Rock covered this small distance in just a moment. There might still be countless vines in front of Lu Lao, but it was still incinerated by the Fire Spirit Rock easily. When the ancient divine essence ring burst into pieces, Jiang Yi felt heartache because Zhan Wushuang mentioned that Lu Lao had a saint artifact.
Tsk-Tsk!
Lu Lao was dead and didn’t even have any scraps left over, but the nearby branches, weeds, and vines still surged towards Jiang Yi and were still unusually tough.
“Ah, Young Master Yi! Don’t bother about us and quickly chase after Yun Lu!”
Just as Jiang Yi was going to turn back and rescue the three peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts, the latter seemed to feel something and immediately yelled out!
Jiang Yi’s eyes flickered as he gritted his teeth and continued to burn a way out with the Earth Fire. He didn’t know how big this cage was, and he didn’t dare to recklessly use the Soul-Devouring Shifting Art. He would be damned if he was to shift into the vines, his body would be instantly corroded.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi was cautious. After burning through for nearly three kilometers, he was out of the cage. He turned around to look at the giant cage which looked like a birds nest and felt appalled. He didn’t know if those four other Soul Travel Realm were able to escape from the cage, but these three peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were probably dead.
“Yun Lu!”
There was a chilling light that flashed in Jiang Yi’s eyes. He stopped thinking so much and started to shift desperately. Some time had passed, and if he didn’t go on the pursuit, it would be difficult to track Yun Lu. If Yun Lu was to escape, all these dead people from the two clans would all be in vain.
His mind was extremely fatigued. After shifting constantly, it exhausted his soul spirit energy; and his eyelids were heavy. He was just like a person who didn’t sleep for consecutive days and nights. Right now, he had to be desperate and continue to instant shift and pursue Yun Lu.
Roar! Roar!
He encountered plenty of demonic beast along the way and even a formidable tier-three high-grade demonic beast. Due to the commotion over here, it alerted many of the nearby demonic beasts.
Jiang Yi didn’t dare to stay near the demonic beasts. He made use of the Massacre Intent to suppress the demonic beasts and continued to shift!
However…
After shifting for more than ten times and traveling over 30 kilometers, he still didn’t see Yun Lu. Yun Lu’s speed was slow, and Jiang Yi should have already caught up to him.
“Could Yun Lu have been killed by the demonic beasts?”
Jiang Yi muttered to himself for a moment and quickly shook his head. Yun Lu was a royal prince and must have some treasures on him. Even if he was to encounter some demonic beast, there must be some signs of battle, right? As Jiang Yi was shifting along the way, he didn’t notice any traces.
“Could I be going in the wrong direction?”
Jiang Yi rubbed his face and forcefully pulled his mind together. He didn’t know which direction to chase, but after randomly deciding a direction, he betted on his luck.
This time, Jiang Yi lucked out.
After a few more shifts, he noticed some traces, which were the signs of battle. It immediately reinvigorated his spirit, and he didn’t shift anymore. He summoned Big Huang to follow the trail of traces. He was too fatigued, and if he continued shifting, he might probably faint.
Big Huang’s speed might be hindered on land, but it was still faster than Yun Lu who was at the first stage of Soul Travel Realm. Since Yun Lu had battled with demonic beasts—even if he didn’t die, he must have sustained some injuries. Following the traces was definitely the correct way.
This was a wild forest deep in the mountains where the weeds were growing luxuriantly, but Jiang Yi’s vision was insanely sharp and could notice the traces of movements. After chasing for some time, Jiang Yi noticed a corpse of a tier-two peak grade demonic beast and some human’s blood trail. This immediately raised his fatigued spirit.
“Moo-Moo!”
Big Huang was chasing with rapid speed, and whenever they encountered any demonic beast, Jiang Yi would release the Massacre Intent and kill it with the Fire Dragon Sword and continue to advance.
“Hahaha!”
Thirty minutes later, Jiang Yi could hear the faint sound of footsteps ahead. Looking through the lush forest, he could see a figure that was desperately trying to flee. He laughed out and roared, “Yun Lu, I want to see where you can run to! There are so many demonic beasts here in the vicinity. Rather than dying in their mouths, why not let me send you on that journey to death?”
“Jiang Yi!”
Yun Lu’s body froze, and he quickly turned around and spoke with a malicious smile, “If you have the guts, continue chasing me. Let’s see who will be the dead in the end!”
“Big Huang, chase!” Jiang Yi didn’t bother about Yun Lu’s threats. He controlled Big Huang and pursued with top speed, constantly pulling the gap closely.
“Eh?”
After chasing for a moment, there was actually white fog ahead. Jiang Yi didn’t mind it initially, but the white fog gradually grew thicker. The visibility was only around several hundred meters. The surroundings had become flat plains without a single tree. The ground had become barren, and Jiang Yi was finally roused.
He was getting closer to Yun Lu, but because of the white fog, Yun Lu was only faintly visible.
“Big Huang, return!”
Jiang Yi felt something was strange. He withdrew Big Huang and instantly shifted again. This time, he was just a hundred meters away from Yun Lu. Just as he was prepared to release the Massacre Intent to kill Yun Lu, Yun Lu suddenly turned around to speak with a sinister smile, “Jiang Yi, do you know where this place is? Hahaha… You actually entered the Witch God’s forbidden ground with me? No one in this world—not even the Demon Empress can save you!”
