Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1296: First Battle Victorious

Swish!

Jiang Yi quickly retreated and abandoned his attempts at hiding himself. He ran as fast as he could. He also removed his black battle armor. As it looked exactly like the Demon-Killing Battle Generals’ except for the wolf head insignia—if the martial artists from the Jiyang Tribe saw him, they would definitely attack him.

“Right, there’s a lake there!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes shifted as he recalled there was a small lake to the left about five hundred kilometers out. He hurriedly ran towards it. His speed was considerable, and he was very resolute. It only took him five minutes to get there. He shot into the lake like a swordfish and quickly swam to the bottom.

The people from Jiyang Tribe were fleeing frantically; they definitely would not stay nearby. If not, the Demon-Killing Battle Generals would catch up to them, and they would be killed. Jiang Yi figured that he would probably be safe at the bottom of the lake.

“There is an underground cave there!”

The lake was ten thousand feet deep. After Jiang Yi reached the bottom, he unexpectedly discovered a cavern and swiftly swam inside. Unfortunately, the cave was very shallow; it was only tens of feet deep. Jiang Yi also did not dare to move anymore. He burrowed inside the cave and held his breath, keeping his aura, and waited quietly.

“En?”

A few minutes later, there was suddenly a disturbance in the water; it was also coming from not only one but four places. Jiang Yi discovered four men or four beasts based on the ripples that had been caused; they were heading towards him. The source of this ᴄontent is ɴo(v)elFɪre.net

The lake was so small while the disturbances were coming from above; the four should not be beasts. They were probably men from the Jiyang Tribe who had thought the same as him, to find a place to hide first and flee later on.

“Four?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes shone a cold glow. If it was one or two, that might still be manageable. If it was four, there might be trouble. Regardless—since the enemy had made his way here, Jiang Yi could only fight to death.

He did not draw his Fire Dragon Sword or release any auras. Jiang Yi closed his eyes and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. He then started to congeal his Astral Wind Blades secretly. As the Astral Wind Blades were not made from heavenly powers, they would not emanate any auras; the enemy would not be able to detect them.

As expected!

The State of the Union of Heaven and Man allowed Jiang Yi to know what was going on around him. He could also feel four figures heading towards this cave; they obviously wanted to hide in here as well.

One thousand feet, five hundred feet... three hundred feet!

Kill—

Jiang Yi’s heavenly powers were activated instantly as his Fire Dragon Sword appeared, and his Divinity Slayer attack was unleashed. The first person that had just entered the cave was immediately cut by the Astral Wind Blades; his body started to bleed from many wounds. Subsequently, he saw three fire dragons wailing towards him, and he was almost scared out of his wits.

Boom!

The cave exploded as rocks fell everywhere. The neighboring seawater started to toss and turn as horrifying heaven and earth powers came pressing downwards. They locked onto that martial artist that was planning to flee, and the three dragons struck him heavily.

Peng!

This man’s body was torn into pieces instantly as he exploded into blood mist. Only a sparkling divine core was left floating in the lake. Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up; this person did not have any defensive divine artifacts. If not, the Divinity Slayer would not have been able to kill him.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi’s Mystic Divine Armor and Thousand Thearch Shield appeared as he exploded forward and started to gather energy for his Divinity Slayer again.

“Three divine artifacts? And a superior-grade divine artifact as well?”

The latter trio had been frightened and had intended to flee. However, after seeing the divine artifacts, their eyes lit up as greed filled them. They started to rush towards Jiang Yi crazily. A black wooden spear appeared in each of their hands. Based on their auras, those weapons did not seem to be divine artifacts. The three thrust their spears at Jiang Yi as three streaks of black light shot forward.

“Astral Wind Blades, Meteorite Killing Formation!”

Jiang Yi used the Thousand Thearch Shield to shield himself as ten Astral Wind Blades swished forward. At the same time, brownish meteorites quickly formed as Jiang Yi sent them flying in all directions. He did not direct them to attack the trio. His Astral Wind Blades had reached the three but were not very effective; the trio had only been lightly wounded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A huge force slammed on the Thousand Thearch Shield as it was sent flying, bringing Jiang Yi along with it. Black energy had pierced through his Mystic Divine Armor and entered Jiang Yi’s body. It swiftly started to head towards his soul spirit.

“Corpse aura? Hmph!”

Jiang Yi investigated and did not panic at all. He was the least afraid of soul spirit attacks. He had discovered an excellent use for his Nameless Divine Art. Those Xiaozhuan characters had the greatest and most unbending power; they had strong defenses against soul spirit attacks.

“That’s right...”

Jiang Yi thought of something suddenly. His body had been sent crashing heavily into the rocks at the bottom of the lake while he had spat out some fresh blood. His heavenly powers had also stopped channeling. He also did not care about the corpse aura assaulting his soul spirit, allowing it to corrode his soul spirit. He wanted to let the enemy think that he had been corrupted by the corpse aura and had been controlled.

“Hahaha, this idiot. He possesses so many divine artifacts, and yet he is so weak. This sword is now mine.” One man smiled and hurriedly came near to Jiang Yi. Another man, however, headed towards the Thousand Thearch Shield while the third man continued to control the corpse aura to attack Jiang Yi.

Tsk! Tsk!

The incoming martial artist was still a little cautious and had sent out yet another wisp of corpse aura. It penetrated Jiang Yi’s Mystic Divine Armor and entered his soul spirit. He then hurriedly grabbed hold of the Fire Dragon Sword in Jiang Yi’s hand.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi’s soul spirit suddenly glowed with black light as a Xiaozhuan character appeared. The corpse auras were instantly purified. Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword also lit up as his Divinity Slayer was unleashed.

“Oh no, we have been tricked!”

That man was merely a hundred feet from Jiang Yi. He was suddenly scared out of his wits as he ferociously stabbed his black spear and retreated quickly.

Bang!

This person also did not have any divine artifacts. The Divinity Slayer could make use of the heaven and earth powers to suppress its opponents. The man’s speed was slowed, and the three fire dragons caught up with him easily. Soon, his body exploded into pieces. However, Jiang Yi was also hurt. The black light had pierced his chest, sending a huge force into his body. He could not resist and spat out yet another mouthful of blood.

“Run—”

The other two men were shaken. Jiang Yi had a defensive divine artifact and was not afraid of soul spirit attacks; his attacks were also deadly. They were not his match at all. If they stayed longer, they would definitely be killed.

“Still can flee? Meteorite Killing Formation!”

Jiang Yi’s mouth revealed a sliver of mocking as the meteorites that he had sent out quietly suddenly came rushing back from afar. Their speed accelerated as they came from all directions and smashed continuously on the duo.

Bang, bang, bang!

The two were smashed by a dozen-odd meteorites and fresh blood flowed from their bodies. However, their bodies were incredibly strong; they were not killed just yet. Jiang Yi hurriedly dashed forward as he shot forth tens of thousands of fire dragons, burning the duo with them.

“My lord, please show mercy!”

Seeing Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword light up again, the two of them started to cry out desperately. Jiang Yi’s eyes became cold as steel as he said coldly, “Whoever submits to the Netherworld Realm will die!”

Tsk! Tsk!

Jiang Yi continuously slashed tens of times as the two exploded into blood mist. However, he cursed himself as he looked at the lake filled with blood mist. The mission this time was that he had to bring back ten heads, right? Hadn’t he killed the four for nothing?

“Wait, their black spears should be sufficient evidence. There are four divine cores as well. These cores are so sturdy; they actually did not break apart?”

Jiang Yi saw that the four black spears and the four men’s divine cores were intact as he hurriedly collected them all. This battle had increased his confidence considerably. It seems as if these Heaven Gods were not that strong? Although their attacking abilities were considerable, his Thousand Thearch Shield and Mystic Divine Armor could still handle those attacks.

“Go!”

Jiang Yi summoned back his Thousand Thearch Shield and hid his Mystic Divine Armor again as he quietly swam towards the surface. He was prepared to hunt and kill another six Jiyang Tribe martial artists; he intended to pass the appraisal smoothly.
