Chapter 1246: Big Killing Weapon
Tsk! Tsk!
A gust of wind suddenly blew above North Thearch City and attracted the attention of many formidable martial artists. However, though they used their divine senses to sweep the skies, they did not find anything. That gust of wind had also suddenly disappeared. Some formidable martial artists continued to scan the surroundings for a while. Seeing that the North Thearch and others did not have any reaction, they sheepishly withdrew their divine senses.
In one of the biggest castles in the city, four shadows flew out and headed to a small castle in the far distance. They were the North Thearch, the Sword Thearch, the Beast Thearch, and Xing Mengwan. Their faces were very serious as they flew to that completely sealed-shut castle. The four entered, immediately closed the gate, and activated the restrictions once again. The few dozens of martial artists left outside were bewildered.
Buzz!
In the central hall of the castle, there was a huge crystal ball. At this time, the crystal ball was swirling with light as a faint phantom image quickly congealed. Xing Mengwan saw the phantom image and knelt down, crying, “Father, what has happened? Who had destroyed your physical body?”
Thud! Thud!
The North Thearch, Beast Thearch, and Sword Thearch all genuflected as they said, “Greetings to Sect Patriarch!”
If this scene had been witnessed by the people outside, they would all have been astounded; three Thearchs were bowing to one person? One of them was even a nine-star formidable martial artist and was the leader of the alliance; his status was unmatched.
The phantom image in the crystal ball was very weak. He looked at everyone present and said, “All to rise. I was too careless this time; Jiang Yi has done me in terribly.”
“Jiang Yi!”
Xing Mengwan’s eyes revealed her killing intent as she coldly said, “Father, Jiang Yi is so powerful? Even you are no match for him? Isn’t the Death G.o.d mystic realm able to restrict the strength of outsiders? Even the Buddha Thearch had been taken down by you; could Jiang Yi be stronger than the Buddha Thearch?”
“Let’s not talk about this.”
Xing Mo furiously cut Xing Mengwan off as he said, “The Death G.o.d mystic realm might not be able to hold Jiang Yi and company anymore. Hurry up and find me a perfect body for me to recover my strength. Wan’er, when Jiang Yi and company surface, do you have any ideas on how to deal with them?”
The North Thearch, Sword Thearch, and Beast Thearch exchanged glances; they did not have any ideas at all. If Jiang Yi, the Buddha Thearch, the Yin Thearch, and Night Empress came out from the Death G.o.d mystic realm; all their planning would be for naught. As for Jiang Yi, everyone was extremely frustrated about him. They had tried to kill him so many times. Instead, he grew stronger after each trial; and his powers kept on increasing.
Xing Mengwan snorted and said, “We can only activate our plan earlier. Let’s get rid of Ao Lu first and then attack the Snow Region. Once the two battles take place, the formidable martial artists; and the soldiers of this continent should then be easy to control. Even if the Buddha Thearch and others were to come out, it would be meaningless by then.”
“As for Jiang Yi and the Buddha Thearch…!”
Xing Mengwan’s eyes flashed coldly as she said, “Father, you do not have to be too worried; I still have a trump card that can let Jiang Yi court his own death! If that doesn’t work… we can activate our last resort and use the Big Killing Weapon! Father, you should rest and recuperate for now. Leave everything to me; I will find you a perfect body as soon as possible that you can inhabit.”
“Alright!”
Xing Mo tiredly nodded. With his body destroyed, his divine soul had flown out from the Death G.o.d mystic realm; and he had traveled for a long distance. He was extremely feeble now. Seeing that Xing Mengwan had everything in place, he could finally relax. His phantom image disappeared, and a crystal reappeared inside the crystal ball. It was as if the crystal ball was his soul spirit consciousness.
“Wu Shang!”
Xing Mengwan’s gaze turned towards the North Thearch as she coldly said, “Give the order tomorrow for the army to depart one month from now. We will eliminate Ao Lu first. Sword Thearch, speed up the training for the army. Beast Thearch, patrol the vicinity. If anyone is having second thoughts or behaving strangely, kill them.”
“Understood!”
The trio bowed at the same time and said; they were extremely respectful.
Once the trio had left, Xing Mengwan looked into the crystal ball again. Her eyes revealed her evident hatred as she gritted her teeth and shouted, “Jiang Yi, do not force us to use the Big Killing Weapon; if not, everyone would be equally doomed…”
…
The North Thearch gave the order the next day to muster all their forces; the attack on the Endless Deep Sea would commence one month later. The Sword Thearch also brought a group of men, and they were training day and night. On the other hand, the Beast Thearch patrolled the surroundings to find spies planted in their midst.
In this period, Jiang Yi and Ao Lu did not make any moves. As it was originally agreed that if Jiang Yi did not attack the continent in three months, the alliance army would then attack the Endless Deep Sea. Now that the schedule had been moved forward, Tang Shenji and others could not understand why. A few of them went to look for the North Thearch, but he refused to see them.
Xing Mengwan had appeared and said that the Endless Deep Sea was in secret discussions with the Snow Region and were preparing a joint attack. Hence, the alliance army was launching a preemptive attack before the two managed to combine their forces. She also warned that at such a crucial moment, no one should question the decisions being made. That would cause internal chaos within the human race, and they would all be done for. After that, the North Thearch also gave the order that whoever dared to spread rumors or dissent would be dealt with by military law!
That order extinguished the defiant fires in Tang Shenji and others’ bellies. The Beast Thearch had killed a considerable number of people recently. Now, even the Tang Clan DemiG.o.ds had been inserted into the alliance army. If the North Thearch suddenly said that the Tang Clan was in cahoots with Jiang Yi and if the alliance army moved against them, the entire Tang Clan would be finished.
After the North Thearch gave his orders, the entire continent was up in arms. Everyone started to prepare for battle, awaiting the second Holy War and kill their way into the Endless Deep Sea. Their names would be known throughout the ages, and their descendants would benefit from what they were about to do.
The North Thearch had said that everyone would be rewarded based on their battle achievements. There were many cities in the Wu Clan, the Jian Clan, and the Tu Clan’s regions that needed Region Lords. Whoever could prove themselves in battle, the North Thearch would reward them handsomely.
The news quickly spread to the Endless Deep Sea.
The demon race was in chaos. However, Ao Lu did not give any orders. Even if he had, it would amount to nothing. With Jiang Yi trapped in the Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea, there was no one to help the demon race. It was also laughable to seek an alliance with the Snow Region. The Saint Empress would never agree to that while Ao Lu was not going to beg her either; he could only fight to the death.
…
Bang, bang, bang!
Inside the Death G.o.d’s Dense Sea—within the Saint Emperor City, the Saint Emperor hurriedly ran from the outside. His hands held a saint beast emitting a fearsome aura. However, this saint beast’s bones had all been cracked; and its body was drenched with its blood. It was on the verge of death.
Boom!
The Saint Emperor threw the saint beast outside a castle, causing a slight tremor. Jiang Yi walked out of the castle, looking slightly bewildered. The Saint Emperor pointed at the saint beast and said, “Young Lord, this is one of the saint beasts, the Paoxiao Beast. Quickly drink all its blood essence before it dies!”
“Drink?”
Jiang Yi blinked as he pointed at the saint beast and said, “Directly like this? Drink its blood?”
“That’s right!”
Saint Emperor was very certain. He continued, “The most precious part of a saint beast is its blood essence. It is also the most nouris.h.i.+ng when it is hot. Young Lord, please hurry up and drink it. The more blood it bleeds out, it would be very wasteful.”
Living the life of a savage!
Jiang Yi finally understood what this meant. Although he knew the meaning… if he really drank the beast’s blood directly like this—it was a huge beast, could he stomach it? Could he finish it all?
“Is this the only way? There is no other?”
Jiang Yi asked again sheepishly. The Saint Emperor shook his head, and Jiang Yi could only grit his teeth as he dashed towards the saint beast, retrieved his Fire Dragon Sword, and pierced one of the wounds on it. He then positioned his mouth close and started to gulp the blood down his throat.
