“En? Not good!”
Everyone’s expressions changed when they saw Jiang Yi who was rushing to the left rapidly. This spatial zone in the Purgatory Ruin was especially steady, and the gravity was 1000 times heavier than the outside. Everyone’s attack power had been restrained. Jiang Yi was advancing after detouring around them, and he was far away. By the time their attacks reached Jiang Yi, he would have already dodged them.
Furthermore, everyone didn’t dare to recklessly attack. Earlier on, Jian Wuying and Wu Ni had attacked together, but they both controlled their power as they were afraid of activating a concealed restriction in this place. The restrictions inside the Divine Temple were the most horrific, and a single contact would cause everyone’s death!
Seeing Jiang Yi effortlessly detouring them and rushing towards the icebound throne, She Fei and others had an entirely different expression. They were still over six kilometers from the ancient artifact, and their fastest speed would also need 15 minutes. Jiang Yi would only require less than 10 minutes.
The Nine Thearchs Clans were all on the same side. If the ancient artifact was obtained by She Fei, Jian Wuying, or Yi Chan, everyone wouldn’t be so enraged. If an unknown kid was to obtain it—even if Yin Ruobing said he was a member of her clan, no one believed it. Everyone clearly knew that Yin Ruobing would never bring along a male bodyguard!
Yi Chan didn’t mind it, but she always had such an attitude. It’s my luck to gain it or my destiny to lose it!
It would be fine as long as she did her best, and the results weren’t important. She would actually feel more comfortable if Jiang Yi obtained it instead of She Fei and the others. After all, Jiang Yi still owed her a favor.
“Stop him!”
She Fei yelled out, and Jian Wuying held onto the Soul-Hooking Flute to play a tune again. This flute was very strange as no sound would be emitted when it was played. There would only be a strange line of spatial fluctuation, and the sound wave would radiate out. The spatial zone of the icebound throne had been enveloped, and it wouldn’t affect She Fei and others.
“It is back again!”
Jiang Yi heard an indistinct sound which caused his mind to have waves of pain. He was so frightened that his body was shaking, and he didn’t dare to sprint as fast anymore. If he was to stop circulating the Nameless Divine Art, he would be unable to absorb the astral winds; and he would die a terrible death!
“It seems like my Divine Sound Heaven Skill will not be effective against them.”
The sound from the Soul-Hooking Flute was obviously much stronger than his Divine Sound Heaven Skill, but when it was so far away, the Soul Hooking Flute didn’t really have a huge impact on him. It was clear that the Purgatory Ruin was able to restrict all forms of attack. Unless he was able to release his Divine Sound Heaven Skill with a radius of 300 meters, it wouldn’t be effective. Would they allow him to get as close as 300 meters?
Hence, Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and resolved his determination to obtain the ancient artifact. He moved and paused, highly concentrated. As soon as the sound of the flute echoed, he would immediately stop, and he would move swiftly after the sound vanished.
“Attack together and eliminate him!”
He might be stopping and moving, but his speed was still faster than everyone else. She Fei clearly knew that if he couldn’t obstruct Jiang Yi, the ancient artifact would ultimately be obtained by Jiang Yi. Thus, She Fei decided not to move and controlled that giant skull to fly towards Jiang Yi and to smash at his head.
“Go!”
Wu Ni’s eyes flashed with killing intent as Jiang Yi had been staring at him from before, and Jiang Yi’s eyes obviously had killing intent. He didn’t know what kind of feud Jiang Yi had with him, but since Jiang Yi wanted to kill him, he naturally wasn’t going to let the matter drop. He kept three pearls beside him and sent the rest of the four pearls at Jiang Yi as he had decided to completely extinguish Jiang Yi.
Tu Long didn’t move as he was adept at close combat. As such a distance, he wouldn’t be able to do anything unless he released his essence force and blasted violently. If he did that, it would easily activate the restriction, and everyone would be dead. His malicious eyes stared at Jiang Yi, and the corner of his mouth was filled with cold intent. If they couldn’t obtain this ancient artifact, they weren’t going to let Jiang Yi obtain it either.
Yi Chan didn’t move. She wasn’t going to attack Jiang Yi, but she wasn’t going to help him either. She continued to advance slowly and observed indifferently.
God damn it!
When Jiang Yi saw the giant skull and the four pearls flying over, he cursed silently. This skull and the pearls were all spirit-connected cardinal treasures, and he had no choice but to retreat. Otherwise, even if he wasn’t killed by them, he would be severely injured. He would no longer be able to obtain the ancient artifact.
He burst with retreat while his eyes flickered and had an idea as he rushed towards a stone pillar at the left. That stone pillar definitely had a restriction, and if She Fei and the others dared to attack, it might activate the restriction.
As expected!
She Fei’s eyes contracted as he quickly controlled the skull to stop, and he didn’t dare to continue attacking Jiang Yi. It was a small matter if he smashed and killed Jiang Yi, but it would be a serious matter if he activated the restriction.
Since the distance was too far, Wu Ni had difficulties controlling the four pearls as Jiang Yi was circling the stone pillar. If he was careless, one of the pearls might just crash onto the stone pillar.
“Hmph!”
Wu Ni grunted and controlled the pearls to float ten meters away from Jiang Yi. As long as Jiang Yi dared to leave the stone pillar, he would immediately attack. She Fei silently nodded as his eyes flashed with radiance while he transmitted two messages to Wu Ni. His giant skull flew back, and he continued to advance.
“Damn…”
Jiang Yi was so frustrated that he wanted to vomit blood. Wu Ni’s four pearls were suspended not far from him, and as soon as he left the stone pillar, he would be attacked. It meant that he was trapped here and had no choice but to watch as She Fei, Jian Wuying, and Yi Chan strive for the ancient artifact.
Jian Wuying no longer played his flute and advanced slowly while Wu Ni simply stopped moving. It was unknown what kind of deal did She Fei made with him as he just controlled the four pearls and stared at Jiang Yi while watching how She Fei and the others approached the icebound throne.
“Yi Chan, you better do it!”
Jiang Yi was at wit’s end and only hoped that Yi Chan could obtain the ancient artifact. If She Fei or Jian Wuying was to obtain it, he would be extremely unhappy.
Yi Chan was slightly faster than She Fei and Jian Wuying, and she was currently 2600 meters away from the ancient artifact. She Fei was still 3000 meters away while Jian Wuying was 4000 meters away. Without any accidents, this ancient artifact should belong to Yi Chan.
An accident quickly happened.
The three pearls beside Wu Ni suddenly moved and flew towards Yi Chan abruptly. Jiang Yi’s eyes contracted as he quickly transmitted a message: “Young Lady Yi, be careful. Wu Ni’s sneaking an attack on you.”
Bang!
Jiang Yi’s warning was of no use as there were just too many astral winds beside Yi Chan, and she didn’t dare to move recklessly. Furthermore, Wu Ni wasn’t far away from her; and his sneak attack had immediately ruptured her divine shield and causing her delicate body to be sent flying.
Fortunately, Yi Chan didn’t panic while facing death, and the thunderbolts on her body didn’t get scattered and were still revolving around her body rapidly, neutralizing the nearby astral winds. Wu Ni’s attack didn’t hit her from behind but on her side. Hence, she was smashed to the right and pulling her distance from the icebound throne to 5000 meters!
Swish! Swish!
Wu Ni’s pearl continued to fly around and smashed ruthlessly on Jian Wuying which also sent him flying. Jian Wuying then cursed out, “Wu Ni, She Fei, you two are so despicable!”
“Hahaha!”
She Fei laughed heartily and said, “A soldier must be crafty. The strategy of the battle doesn’t matter. All that matters is the result! Brother Wu Ni, well done!”
She Fei’s skull revolved rapidly, allowing She Fei’s speed to increase significantly. He took large strides and ran towards the icebound throne and was just about to seize the ancient artifact.
“Pfff!”
Yi Chan spat out a mouthful of blood while her eyes were filled with reserved anger. She took a cold glance at Wu Ni and She Fei before she looked at Jiang Yi and sent a transmitted message: “Bai Yi, what are you idling there for? Attack She Fei and take the ancient artifact!”
“Attack?”
Jiang Yi blinked his eyes with doubt and replied with a transmitted message. “I cannot move. Once I move, Wu Ni will attack me!”
“Fool!”
Yi Chan rolled her eyes and transmitted another message. “If you can absorb astral winds, can’t you release it to use as an attack? If you can release the astral winds to attack, you will be the dictator here! And the ancient artifact is as good as yours. Quickly… this is the ancient general’s ancient artifact. If you can obtain it, your attack strength will definitely reach Four-Star or even Five-Star with just this ancient artifact!”
