Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1302: Demon-Killing Battle General

“I concede defeat. I had underestimated this lad!”

“Sigh, this mission has been for nothing. Tiezhu, you promised one courtesan.” This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Fɪre

“I had indeed underestimated him. This lad had only just ascended and yet is so powerful? Here you go, your divine roots!”

The dozen-odd Demon-Killing Battle Generals willingly conceded defeat as they took out golden little stones and handed them over. Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up as he saw them. So these were divine roots. In the interspatial ring he had gotten from the bottom of the dark lake, he had discovered eight identical golden stones; he did not expect them to be divine roots.

One divine root can be exchanged for one divine artifact; doesn’t that mean I have eight more divine artifacts now!

Jiang Yi’s heart shook. The divine roots seemed to be very valuable; all the Demon-Killing Battle Generals looked very unwilling to part with them. The divine roots could probably be used to purchase some special treasures, mystical abilities, or secret manuals and the likes.

Jiang Yi did not dare to ask anymore. He also did not dare to reveal that he had killed those two Chaos Beasts. He Wei had mentioned even Demon-Killing Battle Generals would have a hard time killing these Chaos Beasts; they were probably very valuable. If he told this group of people, he might even be secretly killed by them.

He tried to keep a low-profile and headed to a corner to cultivate. None of the Demon-Killing Battle Generals had died this time; only three had been wounded and were recuperating in seclusion. There were another seven or eight who did not like to talk and were seated cross-legged. The others continued to talk dirty as they occasionally revealed lewd smiles.

The journey was very smooth. They met two Chaos Beasts on the way, but after the Divine Boat activated its shield and two Demon-Killing Battle Generals went to lure the Chaos Beasts away, the Divine Boat continued with the journey. After one or two days, the Divine Boat flew back to the Divine Eagle Tribe.

Swish!

As the Divine Boat was nearing the Divine Eagle Tribe, a Divine Boat double the size and much more menacing flew speedily from behind them. This Divine Boat’s speed was so fast that in a blink of an eye it had caught up with them; it was just about to strike the Divine Boat that Jiang Yi and the others were on.

“En?”

A group of Demon-Killing Battle Generals had also detected that Divine Boat as their eyes turned cold, and their killing intent surged. However, after seeing a huge ‘Luo’ character carved on the bow of that Divine Boat, all of their killing auras swiftly dissipated. Their faces became pained.

“Get lost!”

A cold and gentle voice rang forth from that Divine Boat. The captain on this Divine Boat bolted out from the front cabin and immediately ordered, “Give way! It’s Lady Luo!”

A Demon-Killing Battle General sent out some heavenly powers as the Divine Boat quickly gave way. The Divine Boat behind them shot straight for the Divine Eagle City, bypassing them. Outside the city gates, the Divine Boat disappeared as a group of dashing female soldiers wearing red battle armor appeared in mid-air. The Divine Eagle City’s gate swiftly opened as the group flew inside arrogantly.

“How good it is to have a good father.”

Zhao Tiezhu’s face was full of displeasure. However, after staring at the figure of the lady right at the front leading the group, he turned pig-faced and murmured, “This Lady Luo is the number one beauty of the Divine Eagle City, Luo City Lord’s only daughter. If I could have her for a while—even if it costs me a hundred years of my life, I would be willing.”

Smash!

The captain slapped Zhao Tiezhu on the back of his head. The captain said coldly, “Zhao Tiezhu, don’t drag us along even if you have a death wish. If Lady Luo heard what you said, we would all die.”

Zhao Tiezhu blinked, feeling very wronged. However, he did not dare to voice his rage. He twitched his lips, embarrassed, as he said, “I was just kidding. Lady Luo had already entered the city; how could she hear me?”

The Divine Boat slowly flew forward and headed towards the Divine Eagle Tribe. Jiang Yi had not gotten a good look at the Divine Eagle Tribe yet; he now managed to see it via the clear wall on the Divine Boat. He realized that the Divine Eagle Tribe was rather big; it was more or less the same size as the Divine Eagle City above. It probably spread fifty kilometers wide, and the number of castles, forts, and wooden houses amounted to roughly a hundred thousand.

The Divine Boat stopped above the city plaza as the captain beckoned and said, “All to report to the Mission Office and then rest for a day before continuing the next mission.”

Everyone flew out while Jiang Yi cupped his hands at the captain and headed out as well. He had long changed back into his Demon-Killing Pavilion battle armor. After he exited, he also summoned the Black Deity out. The Black Deity scanned his surroundings as he asked surprised, “Young Master, have we returned?”

“En, we have passed the appraisal.”

Jiang Yi smiled slightly and nodded. The Black Deity did not ask any further and nodded silently. He was rather sincere and honest but not very chatty; he did not like to talk too much and always kept many things to himself.

Jiang Yi brought the Black Deity and headed to the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Even before they had entered, a handsome young master walked out. Seeing Jiang Yi, the young master was elated; and he cried out, “Brother Jiang, I knew you could come back alive. How was it? Did you pass the appraisal?”

“En!”

Jiang Yi smiled slightly and said, “We were lucky and managed to pass.”

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you to find Captain Chen.” He Wei warmly brought Jiang Yi inside as he smiled and said, “Father is almost arriving; he is well on his way. Once he is here, I will ask him to help you find your friend.”

“Many thanks to Lord He.”

Jiang Yi was still rather accepting of He Wei as a person. He was the type of person who was sociable and loved to make friends. He was also the type to treat his friends sincerely; he was worthy to be friends with.

“Don’t call me lord; call me He Wei or Young Master Wei. I am uncomfortable being called lord.”

He Wei motioned as he brought Jiang Yi and the Black Deity into the first side hall on the left. Captain Chen was seated down in meditation, and when Jiang Yi and company walked in, he opened his eyes. He looked slightly stunned as he stretched out and said, “Human heads or divine cores.”

Jiang Yi’s ring lit up as a few human heads, and a dozen-odd divine cores flew out. The shock in Captain Chen’s eyes deepened as he nodded and said, “Well done, lad. You have exceeded the quota. Very well, I have already reported this matter to Commander Liu. From now on, you two will be in-name disciples of the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Young Master Wei, bring them to settle down and explain the rules to them, please.”

“Many thanks, My Lord.”

Jiang Yi cupped his hands and was prepared to leave when Captain Chen gestured, and the divine cores were swept towards him. Captain Chen said, “These are your spoils. You can sell them to the Demon-Killing Pavilion to exchange for battle merits or divine roots. You can ask Young Master Wei for the specifics.”

“Oh?”

Jiang Yi hurriedly kept all the divine cores. He Wei smiled brightly as he said softly along the way, “Brother Jiang Yi, one Heaven God’s divine core can be exchanged for a battle merit. Ten divine cores can be exchanged for one divine root. Both battle merits and divine roots are precious. Without battle merits, you would not be able to get any resources in the Demon-Killing Pavilion while without divine roots, you would not be able to purchase high-level mystical abilities, secret arts, or high-grade divine artifacts, etc.”

“I remember that one hundred battle merits would allow me to become an official disciple?”

Jiang Yi’s brows knotted. He did not know how many battle merits those Chaos Beasts’ corpses could be exchanged for. If they could be exchanged for a hundred battle merits, wouldn’t he become an official disciple easily?

He Wei brought Jiang Yi to another side hall as he continued to explain. “Indeed, if you have a hundred battle merits, you would be able to obtain the black wolf head insignia and become an official disciple. With ten thousand battle merits, you would become a Demon-Killing Battle General while a hundred thousand battle merits would upgrade you to a Demon-Killing Battle King. A million battle merits would make you a Demon-Killing Battle God. However, the higher your rank, the harder your missions would be; you would not be able to accept normal missions.”

“Eh. What was I going to say?”

Jiang Yi paused and couldn’t resist the burning question he had. He asked, “How many battle merits is a Chaos Beast’s corpse worth?”

“A Chaos Beasts’ corpse is extremely precious.”

He Wei had been in the Demon-Killing Pavilion for a while and knew the system of this faction very well. He casually explained, “A Primitive-Grade Chaos Beast’s corpse is worth five thousand battle merits. An Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast’s corpse is worth fifty thousand battle merits. A Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast is even more valuable! One corpse can be exchanged for a million battle merits; one would immediately become a Demon-Killing Battle God.”

“Five thousand?”

Jiang Yi’s body shook. He had two Chaos Beasts’ corpses; wouldn’t that mean he could immediately become a Demon-Killing Battle General?
