Chapter 302: Die!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Step over my—Jiang Yi’s—corpse!”

Jiang Yi’s declaration caused the entire atmosphere to instantly turn grave. The empire and the five kingdoms’ marshals felt that even if they killed Jiang Yi, the Demon Empress wouldn’t do anything; but when they had to do it for real, they still had some hesitation.

“Attack!”

Finally, General Long waved his hand and gave the orders. He was a soldier and only took orders from the empire. Princess Ling Xue had given the ultimatum that no matter what happened, they had to destroy the Great Xia Kingdom. This was the Azure Dragon Empire’s first battle in ten thousand years, and they must not fail. He still gave a hand gesture silently to the other generals, asking them to avoid Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was only a single individual, and they had an enormous army, how was Jiang Yi going to deal with all of them? Wouldn’t it be easier if they were to ignore Jiang Yi and just destroyed Summer Rain City?

“Attack!”

Xia Wuhui was the second one to give the orders. He even gave Taishi Zhan an eye signal, obviously requesting for Taishi Zhan to kill Jiang Yi first.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Divine Martial Kingdom’s army immediately began to charge as they turned into a flood of steel that headed straight for Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was an insult to the Divine Martial Kingdom, and they naturally wouldn’t give up this great opportunity to wash off the humiliation.

“All troops, charge!”

The old general from the Saint Spirit Kingdom and the marshal of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom soon gave their final order for assault. The Northern Mang Kingdom and the Northern Liang Kingdom charged while riding on strange beasts that looked like a horse and also a lion, which were snow-white in color. The trampling noise on the ground was so loud that it caused pain in the eardrums. The omnipresent killing aura caused the sky of Summer Rain City to freeze in place.

“Kill!”

Su Ruoxue waved her jade hand and gave the military orders on behalf of Su Diwang. The elderly consecrators of the Su Clan were all disappointed. They thought they saw a trace of hope when Jiang Yi suddenly appeared, and they were hoping for Jiang Yi to break this death situation. Who knew that Jiang Yi came alone and only gave a few statements before starting the battle? Did he think that he was the Demon Empress? Could he defeat an army of a million by himself? There were so many Soul Travel Realm experts in the army, and before he could kill a few enemies, he would probably be killed soon enough.

Swish!

After giving hope, he gave them despair again. The Su Clan’s experts had no choice but to grit their teeth and charge towards the army. Everyone’s eyes had this determination to fight to the death, and no one else had any expectation for a miracle. They just wanted to kill a few more enemies and revenge for the millions of Great Xia Kingdom’s citizens who died and the merciless slaughter of their Su Clan’s descendants.

The brutal war had begun.

The Soul Travel Realm experts from both sides began to shoot their essence force attacks, targeting at the mass groups. Since there were people all over the place, they didn’t have to be mindful of the direction or locking onto any targets as they were all going to result in indiscriminate explosions.

At this moment, the skies of Summer Rain City had lit up as various colors and types of essence force were covering the sky, like a unified release of tens of thousands of arrows. The scene was grand and glorious. These essence force attacks had horrific and oppressive auras that caused weaker martial artists’ body and soul spirit to shiver.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Essence force explosions constantly echoed as groups of martial artists were killed. Severed limbs and fresh blood were splattering and spraying all over. Miserable screams, warhorses’ neighs, strange beasts’ cries, martial artists’ roars—all came one after another as the outskirts of Summer Rain City was turned into a ground for minced flesh.

Pong! Pong! Pong!

Hundreds of essence force attacks came crashing towards Jiang Yi. His Fire Spirit Pearl lit up instantly and poured out the Earth Fire from within. There wasn’t a lot of Earth Fire left in his Fire Spirit Pearl, but there were plenty of essence force attacks. He had no choice but to hold on.

“He!”

At the same time, he would brandish his Fire Dragon Sword. If he didn’t use his Fire Dragon Sword to cancel off all those essence force attacks, his Earth Fire would probably not be able to resist.

Boom!

As the two fire dragons and multiple essence force attacks clashed, it produced an intense explosion. The impact of the horrific explosion forcefully shaved off layers of the ground while smoke rose into the sky, covering the sun and giving rise to violent gales—as though it was the end of the world.

Swish!

Jiang Yi faced the violent gales and wreaked havoc along the way. His attack strength might be on the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm, but his speed and defenses were not on the same level. Most importantly, he wasn’t able to release essence force attacks and the reach of his Fire Dragon Sword attacks was too short. Other first-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were able to casually release their essence force attacks more than a few miles in distance, but Jiang Yi’s attacks were only a few hundred meters in reach.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiang Yi would use the Fire Dragon Swords to cleave open wide paths, and when necessary, he would rely on the Earth Fire to block as he made his way towards the Divine Martial Kingdom’s army. Unexpectedly, those elite experts from the Divine Martial Kingdom didn’t attack him and merely urged the army to charge; otherwise, Jiang Yi wouldn’t have such an easy time to resist the first wave of attacks.

Majority of the people believed that the Demon Empress wouldn’t interfere even if they killed Jiang Yi, but these elite experts were all very clear, and no one dared to personally kill Jiang Yi. Otherwise, when the Demon Empress came investigating on this matter, it would probably just take a single statement from her for the Divine Martial Kingdom to offer their heads.

Furthermore, it was Jiang Yi’s identity!

Jiang Yi was Jiang Bieli’s son, and Jiang Bieli might have expelled Jiang Yi out of the Jiang Clan and severed all ties with this son, but no one knew what Jiang Bieli was thinking. What if he had a hidden grudge in his heart and would settle the score in the future? With his capability, it was way too easy for him to kill them.

The entire scene looked odd as even those lower-staged Soul Travel Realm experts stopped releasing their essence force attacks, and their charging speed had slowed down as they similarly urged their subordinates to rush at Jiang Yi.

Swish!

Jiang Yi flew over a few miles and saw an endless number of Divine Martial Kingdom’s soldiers, which were like a cluster of locusts. He didn’t even pause in his footsteps as his blood red eyes were concentrated on Xia Wuhui in this army as he revealed this cruel smile. Since he was already at this stage, there was nothing else to say. Xia Wuhui wanted to kill him, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely take off Xia Wuhui’s head.

“Massacre Intent!”

With a surge of killing aura, the frontline of the army had an instant decrease in speed as all those Purple Mansion Realm martial artists were all immobilized by the Massacre Intent. Even lower-staged Soul Travel Realm experts were affected, and only those experts that were beyond the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm were not affected.

Swish!

Jiang Yi penetrated into the army like a sharp sword as his Fire Dragon Sword vigorously cleaved at the front, launching two fire dragons out. Any martial artists who made contact with the fire dragons would be turned into dust immediately. The clustered army had this huge channel which was several meters wide after he cleaved. He then used this channel to fly in as he completely ignored the Purple Mansion Realm soldiers who were on both sides. His eyes were fixed at those Soul Travel Realm commanders in the army.

“Die—!”

Urged by the generals behind them, a few of the commanders burst up and killed towards Jiang Yi like ferocious beasts. They were extremely near Jiang Yi and naturally had to make a move. One of the commanders had this battle ax which was radiating with blue light. He swung it in a semicircle as it sent out a huge aura wave, just like a giant sea wave that crashed in. The others also executed their martial skills respectively as multiple murderous intents were locked onto Jiang Yi—as they desired to chop him up into pieces.

Because they were surrounded by the Divine Martial Kingdom’s army, these people didn’t dare to release their essence force attacks. These people had competent strength like that giant-ax-wielding martial artist was at the fourth stage of the Soul Travel Realm. It was easily determined from the formidable presence of his attacks.

“Die—!”

This class of martial artists was not a threat to Jiang Yi. The Earth Fire that had vanished earlier was now pouring out frantically from Jiang Yi’s body while his Fire Dragon Sword was suddenly swung towards the fourth-stage Soul Travel Realm expert and the two other commanders by his side. This time, his Fire Dragon Sword didn’t just simply shoot out two fire dragons. Guided by the Fire Dragon Sword, the surrounding air converged towards him, quickly forming several invisible wind dragons. These wind dragons brought along a lump of Earth Fire and flew out with the two fire dragons.

“Not good! Retreat!”

The ax-wielding fourth-stage Soul Travel Realm commander had this change in expression as he yelled out and wanted to retreat backward. The two commanders by his side immediately turned pale with fright and wanted to dodge to the side.

However...!

Before the wind dragons even got near, the surrounding air was raging with violent winds while the essence forces in their bodies lost control, and their speed was severely affected. When the wind dragons approached them, the three of them were completely restrained and could only look on helplessly as the massive amount of Earth Fire and two fire dragons engulfed them.

“This... this...”

The countless peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts turned their attention to this side, and they were all having this stupefied expression. Xia Wuhui’s mouth was wide opened as he exclaimed after a short moment, “Dao pattern attack? How is that possible? Is Jiang Yi at the peak-stage of Soul Travel Realm?”
