He Lao mentioned that within Yun Lu’s body flowed the blood of the Yun Clan, and the Witch God might be giving him preferential treatment. Hence, Jiang Yi suspected that Yun Lu had survived, but he didn’t expect Yun Lu to be able to enter the third floor and was still doing fine? It seemed like… that powerful sorcery was released by him, or was he able to control the restriction here?
No matter what the circumstances—were since he spotted Yun Lu’s traces, he naturally wouldn’t allow Yun Lu to escape. Jiang Yi immediately took out the Green Clear Vase and released He Lao from inside. He then yelled out, “He Lao, give chase to the front. Yun Lu escaped in that direction.”
He Lao’s speed was much faster than him, and the terrain here was intricate and complicated. Jiang Yi was afraid he might lose sight of Yun Lu; thus, he got He Lao to pursue with all his strength. He had already prepared to instant-shift, and his overall speed wasn’t actually slower than He Lao. However, this was a perilous place. Unless necessary, he didn’t want to instant-shift. Instant-shifting would cause fatigue to his soul spirit, and if his soul spirit energy was overused, he would be a sitting duck. If He Lao wasn’t able to catch up with his speed, then Jiang Yi’s instant shifting would a waste of energy.
“Yun Lu?”
He Lao’s eyes had this flash of murderous intent. He then flew rapidly without any hesitation while Jiang Yi summoned the Zouwu Beast and gave chase as well.
Shh-shh-shh!
There was a sudden cool breeze in the forest while the leaves were letting out rustling sounds. Jiang Yi glanced around with suspicion and felt strange, but he didn’t stop and continued with his pursuit while riding on the Zouwu Beast.
“Howl-Howl!””Wu-Wu!””Chi-Chi!”
A strange phenomenon happened quickly. Countless demonic beasts suddenly came in all directions, flocking towards their direction. He Lao, who had closed up the gap with Yun Lu, had to stop. When Jiang Yi caught up with him, he was already in a battle with a few demonic beasts.
“Young Master Yi. Yun Lu should be able to control the restrictions on the third floor. All these demonic beasts are summoned by him. You have to be careful!”
He Lao’s voice echoed while Jiang Yi’s expression turned grave as he kept the Zouwu Beast. Killing aura poured out from his body while he shouted, “He Lao, you be careful, too. I will clear up these demonic beasts.”
There were plenty of demonic beasts that came. Yellowish-gold giant pythons, a strange beast with a deer’s body and crocodile’s head, a toad that shot out ice arrows from a distance, an avian which had the speed of the wind… a bat beast which could spit out black venom. There were various demonic beasts with strange forms which were all tier-three while some were tier-two peak grade.
These demonic beasts were of no threat to Jiang Yi as his Massacre Intent was able to suppress peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts—let alone tier-three demonic beasts. Even tier-three peak grade demonic beasts would be killed by Jiang Yi without any effort. Of course… if a tier-four demon king appeared right now, Jiang Yi would have no choice but to hand over his life.
Massacre Intent for suppression, Earth Fire for protection, Fire Dragon Sword for killing, and the Soul-Devouring Shifting Art for evading.
Facing against the countless demonic beasts that flocked in from all directions, Jiang Yi was having a pleasant time in battle, which was effortless. All those demonic beasts would be immobilized by the Massacre Intent, and with the Earth Fire protection, regular attacks wouldn’t be able to hit him. If there was a formidable demonic art was released, he would immediately instant shift to evade it.
There were just too many attacking demonic beasts, and there was no way to kill all of them. After Jiang Yi killed for a moment, he decided to move over to He Lao’s side and keep him in the Green Clear Vase again. He then made use of the Massacre Intent to suppress the demonic beast and killed while rushing forward.
He had a wise decision as there was an endless flow of demonic beasts even after he sprinted for more than ten miles. If he had remained in place to fight, it might take days before killing all the demonic beasts, and it would have exhausted him to death.
Yun Lu is able to control the restriction on the third floor? He can even maneuver the demonic beasts to attack us?
When pondering about He Lao’s statement and looking at the limitless demonic beasts, Jiang Yi’s heart sank. If there was a demon king on the third floor—and Yun Lu was to command it to come over, he and He Lao would probably have to fall in this place.
Swish! Swish!
Two fire dragons engulfed everything ahead, killing two Kui beasts 1 effortlessly. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to pause for a moment and just rushed in a straight line. He had to move with his fastest speed and break away from these demonic beasts by leaving this forest. Otherwise, he would be forcefully fatigued to death.
“Hu Hu!”
On the left, there was a cat beast with a large mouth, which spat out a nauseating black breath. The black breath permeated over quickly, and before it was near Jiang Yi, he could feel a sense of disgust. He gritted his teeth and instant-shifted again. This black breath should be the demonic beast’s demonic art, and he must not get near it. If not, he would be in grave trouble.
“Gudu, Gudu!”
Just as he instant-shifted for over three kilometers, Jiang Yi heard a strange cry. This sound caused his soul spirit to tremble, and he felt as though his heart was going to jump out from the pit of his stomach.
“Die!”
Jiang Yi was shivering with fear; demonic beasts which were capable of soul spirit attacks were the most terrifying. He had to kill it immediately, or else—if his soul spirit was affected, he would die here without a corpse.
Buzz!
His body flashed again, locking on to the giant weird demonic beast which was letting out that cry. He instant-shifted to its side and used the Massacre Intent to suppress it, then cleaving down with the Fire Dragon Sword and blasting this demonic beast into minced flesh.
“Chu-Chu!”
A giant black avian dove down from the sky. Its wings extended out and flashed, illuminating the body with a black light. Countless steel feathers shot down in unison like thousands of arrows, enveloping kilometers in radius, which took Jiang Yi as the center.
“Goddammit! Earth Fire!”
Jiang Yi was complaining bitterly as he didn’t dare to instant-shift anymore. Earth Fire poured out, blocking all these steel feathers and incinerating them.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
As the steel feathers whizzed down, patches of trees were ruined; and many demonic beasts suppressed by Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent had been killed as well. It actually did a great help to Jiang Yi.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi originally wanted to leap up and kill this giant avian after enveloping it with his Massacre Intent. When he saw this situation, he immediately changed his mind and sprinted forward. That giant avian gave chase as he expected and would constantly shoot out countless steel feathers, helping Jiang Yi to kill all the nearby demonic beasts.
“Okay, continue!”
Jiang Yi raised a thumbs-up to the giant avian in the sky. The steel feathers from the giant avian would only be able to penetrate around a meter of the Earth Fire before being incinerated. It was unable to damage him at all. With such a great helper, it did relieve most of Jiang Yi’s work.
While breaking out of this entrapment and sprinting for half a day, Jiang Yi didn’t even know how many demonic beasts he had killed. He was so tired that he was panting—as he had to constantly release the Massacre Intent while having to attack and maintaining a high concentration. It exhausted him greatly.
As the demonic beasts came in waves after waves while there were unlimited demonic beasts chasing from behind, Jiang Yi leaped up and above the forest. He could still see nothing but forest, which caused his eyes to turn gloomy. When was this going to end? If he still couldn’t escape from the forest and break away from these demonic beasts, he was afraid he might not be able to endure anymore.
Swish! Swish!
Six hours later… just as Jiang Yi was going to collapse, there was a bright light at the front. After sprinting for a moment, he noticed a change in terrain ahead.
There was a giant canyon which appeared ahead. The thing that made him ecstatic was that he could subtly see a spot of light at the end of the canyon, which looked like a teleportation array!
“Hahaha!”
Immediately after, there was laughter that suddenly echoed. The voice sounded very faint like it was coming from the sky. It dimmed Jiang Yi’s delighted expression because it was actually Yun Lu’s laughter.
Yun Lu’s voice quickly echoed, “Jiang Yi. The exit for the third floor is just ahead, but it will be all up to your capability if you can make it. This Prince will wait for you on the fourth floor. If you have the guts, come kill me then!”
