Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1327: The Big Fish Takes the Bait

“Quick, quick, quick!”

Jiang Yi kept screaming in his mind. He kept feeling like the God of Death was just behind him, holding chains and chasing him down. If the Death God was allowed to come too close, he would surely kill Jiang Yi without showing mercy. He would drag him all the way down to the Netherworld Realm and torture him.

At that moment, Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. He was keeping his senses on the movements behind him. He had already been running for five minutes at top speed. He was getting closer to the Fire Lake. All around him, temperatures were rising. From the darkening color of the soil under his feet, he could see that. The air around him seemed to be twisting slightly as well. He guessed that ordinary Heaven Gods would not be able to withstand these high temperatures.

Give me five more minutes, and I would be able to get out alive!

Jiang Yi prayed in his heart. If the temperatures were higher, the soldiers behind him would have more difficulty chasing him down. However, his Fire Spirit Pearl made him resistant to these high temperatures. His speed was not at all affected. This meant that he had a higher chance of arriving at the Fire Lake.

Unfortunately...

Two or three minutes later, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air. A black dot appeared in the distance, and it was growing in size each second. Jiang Yi sensed the space fluctuations. His expression darkened once he scanned behind him.

There was a Divine Boat there. The Divine Boat had strong restrictions that could resist the high temperatures. Its speed was not affected at all. Jiang Yi guessed that Luo Ting was seated in that Divine Boat, along with at least three to five God Generals.

“Damn it!”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and kept running. His mind kept working to find a way out, but he could not think of anything. Given his skills, he would not be able to destroy the Divine Boat for sure. What’s more, even if he could, there were still tens of God Generals inside who could kill him easily.

Where are Luo Qingyan’s men? Why are they not backing me up at a time like this? If I die, who is going to help lure Luo Ting to the Fire Lake?

Jiang Yi scanned the surroundings. He knew that Luo Qingyan had arranged for a formidable martial artist to be planted in the vicinity. This man was not there to receive him but to help him complete his mission smoothly. Once Jiang Yi was done, he would then be silenced by this man. By now, it was obvious that Jiang Yi would not make it to the Fire Lake. Why was this man not showing up?

Swish!

The Divine Boat was traveling too quickly. In just thirty seconds, it closed in on Jiang Yi by three hundred kilometers. He received a cool voice transmission: “Little Bastard. You destroyed the Luo Clan’s reputation, and you still want to run? If I don’t kill you today, I will not be called Luo Ting anymore!”

Indeed, Luo Ting was here. Jiang Yi sighed deeply. The trap that Luo Qingyan set up this time was perfect. Luring Luo Ting here was already half the battle won. It was a pity that Jiang Yi would not be able to complete the mission. It looked like he was going to die at any moment.

Roar! Roar!

Just then, loud roaring echoed from in front of Jiang Yi. Then, he felt two strong auras, which caused his entire body to stiffen. His eyes glowed up. These two Chaos Beasts appeared out of nowhere at a time like that? Why did they not appear earlier or later? This was no coincidence; Luo Qingyan’s men were nearby. They lured these Chaos Beasts out to get Jiang Yi out of this fix.

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi immediately stopped and set down, cross-legged. He used his Art of Concealment and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to study the situation in front of him.

Two huge figures were charging towards him at that moment. Their bodies were alight with green flames. Jiang Yi guessed that they were both Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts. They looked like tigers but had wings on their backs that could carry them into the sky at once. Both Chaos Beasts locked in on Jiang Yi, but they lost track of Jiang Yi’s aura suddenly. Thus... they turned their attention to the Divine Boat which was cutting through the air from afar.

Swish!

The two Chaos Beasts flew right past Jiang Yi’s head and towards the Divine Boat. Their intelligence was quite low; they attacked any humans they saw. In their eyes, Jiang Yi was no different from the people on the Divine Boat. Anyone who dared to enter their territory would be attacked relentlessly by them.

“Run—”

Jiang Yi waited for the Chaos Beasts to get near to the Divine Boat before he immediately got out of his concealed state. Then, he sprinted as fast he could toward the Fire Lake. The two Chaos Beasts did not spare him another glance because there more than twenty God Generals flew out of the Divine Boat to fight these beasts!

There were thirty God Generals in the Divine Boat. Uncle Lu told them that their entire families would perish if anything untoward happened to Luo Ting. At that moment, two Chaos Beasts were headed right toward their Divine Boat. Naturally, they dared not let their guard down. They emerged from the Divine Boat at once to fight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More than twenty people dealt attacks at the same time. The sky became filled with light from all the various attacks. A terrifying suppressive force pressed down on Jiang Yi, who was sprinting away from the scene. The two Chaos Beasts were thrown back by the impact. However, their defensive powers were terrifyingly strong. Despite the various attacks, they did not get hurt.

Hoo-hoo!

Both beasts opened their mouths to spit out balls of green flames. The flames split apart automatically once they left the beasts’ mouths. Like clouds, they shot out in all directions. The temperatures became unbelievably high. The God Generals were all scared out of their wits. One by one, they turned to hide. The flames could not kill them, but if they were hit by the balls of flames, the high temperatures would still severely burn their skin. It would cause immense pain.

“Idiots! A few of you, go and lure the two Chaos Beasts away. Don’t let that bastard get away!”

Luo Ting cried out in rage. Although he did not listen to Uncle Lu, he was still very cautious. He did not dare to bring just a few God Generals with him to hunt Jiang Yi down. His life was precious after all. The God Generals regained their composure as four of them split up to lure the Chaos Beasts away in opposite directions with their attacks.

“Go!”

The other God Generals flew back into the Divine Boat, which once again started cutting through the air. Jiang Yi was not slow. The distance between them had increased once again by hundreds of kilometers.

“Stop!”

From behind, someone shouted. Uncle Lu was finally here. On seeing the Divine Boat chasing after Jiang Yi, he immediately shouted out. Uncle Lu’s words were very authoritative. The Divine Boat and the God Generals it carried immediately stopped moving. The gates opened, and Uncle Lu entered.

The moment he entered, he glared at Luo Ting. “Young Clan Head, the Fire Lake is in front. There are a lot of Chaos Beasts there. Don’t go in and take the risk. If anything untoward happens to you, we will all be punished!” This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

However, Luo Ting shouted back in anger, “Uncle Lu, if you are here, how can those Primitive-Grade Chaos Beast hurt me? The bastard is just in front. If I don’t give chase this time, he may get away. The whole Divine Eagle City knows that we have gone out to battle this time. We have so many people, and yet we can’t kill this Heaven-God bastard? How am I going to show my face in Divine Eagle City in the future? What will become of the Luo Clan’s reputation? The Battle God Pavilion will not be able to raise our chins against the Demon-Killing Pavilion in the future anymore!”

Perhaps the last sentence was the one that convinced Uncle Lu. He gritted his teeth and said, “Then go ahead, but Young Clan Head, you cannot be rash. Take my orders, or I will not help you chase him. Instead, I will take you right back to Divine Eagle City.”

“Alright!”

Luo Ting nodded, and the Divine Boat went ahead. However, this delay by Uncle Lu caused Jiang Yi to run even further away. Even though the Divine Boat moved forward to chase him down, they only reached the vicinity of Fire Lake.

“Keke!”

Once the Divine Boat tore through the sky—in a valley far away, a figure appeared. This was an elderly man whose beard had become completely white and whose back was crooked. The strange thing was that he did not have the aura of a martial artist at all. He looked just like an ordinary man. His murky eyes were transfixed on the Fire Lake, and a cold smile parted his lips. He mumbled quietly to himself, “Young Mistress’ predictions were completely accurate. The big fish takes the bait...”
