“If I can’t escape, then don’t!”
Jiang Yi let out a deep roar while the Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand. One of his hands constantly produced Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames and enveloped his body with it. His other hand slashed with the Fire Dragon Sword several times to the front, which sent out hundreds of thousands of fire dragons. His 36 soul swords appeared and followed closely behind the fire dragons and towards Ba Dao.
He had to delay a bit more time to obstruct Ba Dao while waiting for the spatial fluctuations to disappear. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to fly away, and it was even more impossible for him to instant-shift away. With such violent spatial fluctuations, he might just be twisted by the spatial distortion when he was instant-shifting.
“Do you want to shock the heavens with the strength of an insect?”
Ba Dao’s sneer echoed as such attack was no different from giving him a scratch on his itch. However, the heat from the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames was not bad and made him a little worried. Right now, his essence force was vanishing like the flowing water. The surrounding temperature was already high enough but was increased further by the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. If he was careless, his divine shield might just be broken.
Putting the priority to be cautious, Ba Dao controlled all his essence force and poured it to his divine shield while he abruptly blasted out a fist as he wanted to kill Jiang Yi with this fist. His other hand started to condense an earth yellow essence force as he was preparing to release the Mother Earth Roar dao pattern again so that Jiang Yi would have no way to escape.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Jiang Yi’s attack smashed on Ba Dao’s stalwart body like small rocks smashing into a giant lake, which wasn’t able to cause a huge ripple. Had it not been for the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames, Ba Dao could just disregard it.
“Die—!”
Ba Dao’s hand had successfully condensed the earth yellow essence force and was preparing to release the earth attribute dao pattern, which would shake up the surroundings. Right at this moment, he could feel from the depths of his soul spirit—a fatal danger. His big eyes contracted as he exclaimed, “Soul spirit attack?”
The 36 soul swords broke through the air and pierced through Ba Dao’s divine shield effortlessly before heading straight for his glabella. All of Ba Dao’s muscles were shuddering as he couldn’t bother about release the earth attribute dao patter anymore. He didn’t even have time to control his fist shadow which he had launched at Jiang Yi. He concentrated everything into resisting against these soul swords.
Buzz!
His eyes flashed with radiance as two arcs of light shot out from his glabella and condensed a white circular mirror, which forcefully blocked against the 36 soul swords. This soul spirit attack had to be blocked on the outside as it would be terrible if they managed to enter the soul spirit sea.
Boom!
Jiang Yi’s body had been smashed by the fist shadow and had been sent flying ruthlessly. He was violently vomiting fresh blood in mid-air while his face had turned ghastly pale. Jiang Yi couldn’t bother anymore as his divine senses were controlling the 36 soul swords to crash again and again on the small circular mirror outside of Ba Dao’s glabella. As long as he could shatter this circular mirror, it would be possible for him to severely injure Ba Dao—or even kill him!
“The ten chiefs are indeed extraordinary. They can actually block against soul spirit attacks!”
Jiang Yi crashed into a pile of shattered rocks. He let out a sigh in his heart as he thought that these people must have something extraordinary in order to kill a path out from corpse mountains and blood seas—to become a chief.
Jiang Yi could feel a lacerating pain on his chest. He didn’t know how many ribs had been broken or if his inner organs were ruptured, but he couldn’t care about any of those things. He desperately controlled the 36 soul swords to attack.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The surrounding stone peaks were collapsing from the aftershock. Jiang Yi was in a pile of debris that was shrouded by a cloud of dust and smoke, which made the visibility very bad. That earlier attack was too vicious, and if he didn’t have the Fire Cloud Armor, his body would definitely be smashed into smithereens.
Ba Dao didn’t release the earth attribute dao pattern, Mother Earth Roar, so the spatial fluctuation had slowly dissipated. Jiang Yi could escape at any moment now, but of course… he was currently very determined to eliminate Ba Dao and didn’t have any intention to escape!
Ba Dao was in agony. He actually had ways to destroy the soul swords, but he didn’t dare to do any of it now as he gathered all his concentration to resist against the soul swords. If the soul swords managed to enter his soul spirit, the consequences would be devastating.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The 36 soul swords flew and smashed one after the other endlessly. It would fly back again after the smash, taking a loop before smashing again, forming a cycle. At every moment, there were several soul swords which would smash onto the little round shield on Ba Dao’s glabella. If Ba Dao dared to be careless and if the small round shield shattered, the 36 soul swords would instantly enter his soul spirit sea.
“This cannot go on. If this carried on, I will have to perish here!”
Ba Dao’s heart was burning anxiously. This place had a high temperature, and his essence force was depleting very quickly. Right now, all his concentration was on resisting the soul swords. If this carried on, his divine shield was going to break; and he would die here without any burial grounds.
“Retreat…”
He had no choice but to retreat gradually. He might be extremely reluctant and indignant, and if anyone got to know this, they would probably laugh their heads off. However, what else could he do now?
“Foolish brute. Are you thinking of escaping?”
Jiang Yi’s cold voice echoed while he increased the attack power of his soul swords and yelling out at the same time, “Foolish brute, aren’t you a chief of the Sky Thunder City? Why are you running? Aren’t you afraid your men would lose confidence in you? Aren’t you afraid they might kill you and plunder your position?
“Foolish brute. Aren’t you very arrogant? Don’t you want to kill me? Come on, this Young Master is waiting for you to kill me here.
“Useless trash, if you can’t even kill a Vajra Realm martial artist like me, how come you have the face to live in this world?
“Ba Dao, you are one of the ten chiefs? Bah… in my opinion, you are no different from a wretched tramp!”
Every one of Jiang Yi’s statements made Ba Dao’s body shudder while the small shield at the glabella was shaking multiple times and had nearly been shattered by the soul swords. His face was filled with rage. He, Ba Dao, had been a chief and a tyrant for more than ten years in Sky Thunder City. Even the Lu Clan had to treat him with respect. When did he ever have to suffer such petty anger?
Fortunately, he had been a reputable expert for many years, and his mentality wasn’t bad. He understood this was Jiang Yi trying to indirectly provoke him. He forcefully endured the rage and gradually retreated. Jiang Yi wanted to follow up with the attack, but he was severely injured and when Ba Dao was ten miles away, he had no choice but to summon the soul swords back. If the distance was any further, he couldn’t guarantee that Ba Dao would be able to destroy his soul swords.
Swish!
Enduring the pain, Jiang Yi flew to the distance. This place wasn’t near to the Thunder Fire and wasn’t considered safe. If Ba Dao was to come back suddenly, he would be done for.
“Bastard, bastard!”
Ba Dao retreated over ten miles away. He then wiped off his cold sweat after the soul swords flew away. He then burst out with enraged roars, “Little bastard, just you wait. If I don’t kill you, I—Ba Dao—will cease to be a human! Ah! Ah! Ah…!”
The enraged roar shook heaven and earth, causing the surrounding stone peaks to slightly shake. The fragments of rocks flew randomly, and it echoed so far that even Jiang Yi’s eardrums could feel the pain. His roars were filled with anger and resentment, but Jiang Yi had already flown towards the nearby vicinity of the Thunder Fire, while Ba Dao had no choice but to watch helplessly.
Swish!
There was a skinny figure that flew across the sky from the distance. Chief Long had been alerted by the commotion of battle in this area. When he heard Ba Dao’s roar, his eyes revealed a trace of sneer while he spoke while he was far away, “Ba Dao, what is this? You can’t even kill a little bastard at the Vajra Realm? Also, it seems like you have suffered? Tsk-tsk… I wonder how you actually rose up to your position?”
“Old dog, do you wish to die?”
Ba Dao was still in a fit of anger, and Chief Long’s taunt had his fury burst to the sky. One of his hands flashed with earth yellow essence force while his other hand was holding onto the Water Dragon Pearl. He glared at Chief Long with a murderous aura and said, “How did I rise to my position? Do you wish to try? Old dog, if you are unconvinced, then go in. That little bastard is in there. Go ahead and kill him then!”
“Hmph!”
Chief Long let out a cold hmph and didn’t want to bicker with Ba Dao. His body then flew towards the direction where Jiang Yi was while he left a statement: “Foolish brute, look at how Chief Long kills him!”
