Chapter 1521: Turning of the Tide
Buzz!
At this moment, Poison Spirit flashed in white light and immediately concealed himself. Jiang Yi had been bringing Poison Spirit along; however, he suddenly felt his hand loosen as the Poison Spirit disappeared.
“Young Lord, the Sword Emanations King would not be able to block this attack; I will coordinate with it! If I die, please bring my ashes to the Saint Spirit Domain; I want to be buried under Saint Spirit Mountain!”
Poison Spirit’s voice transmission rang out. Although Jiang Yi felt very bitter and sad, he didn’t act recklessly. He knew that with Poison Spirit and the Sword Emanations King acting in concert, that would be the most ideal situation. If their attack failed, the two would die anyway!
Their lives were on the line!
Jiang Yi’s brain worked furiously. He knew that this was his last chance. He had to use all ways and means to at least wound Heavenly King You. If not, he and Poison Spirit would end up dead.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi’s Chaos Essence Pearl shone as a figure appeared. Although that person was very weak—immediately after she appeared, her aura grew strong and attracted the attention of Heavenly King You. A flexible sword appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand as he released his Divine Sound Heaven Skill almost simultaneously. He did not know if he could affect the Heavenly King You, but he had to give it a shot.
“General, hurry up and attack; this is an illusion created by a Netherworld King’s clone! He wants to kill us!”
Jiang Yi shouted as a ring on Qi Qingchen’s hand instinctively shone and a red, flexible sword appeared. The incoming Heavenly King You’s hand shook as he almost fainted after hearing Jiang Yi’s words.
What was called confusing right from wrong? Heavenly King You finally witnessed today. Jiang Yi had actually called him, one of the commanders-in-chief of the Demon-Buster Army, a Netherworld King’s clone?
Heavenly King You’s black dragon was just about to completely pierce through the ranks of the Sword Emanations Race beings and kill Jiang Yi. However, at this moment, Heavenly King You hesitated. Qi Qingchen was blocking the way in front of Jiang Yi; regardless of whether Qi Qingchen attacked or not, he couldn’t possibly kill Qi Qingchen as well, right?
Swis.h.!.+
Suddenly, from the right in the midst of the Sword Emanations Race beings, countless clones appeared. Poison Spirit had begun his attack. He created hundreds of clones as they weaved their way among the Sword Emanations Race beings and charged forward, their killing aura all locked onto Heavenly King You.
“Insignificant!”
Heavenly King You was not concerned in the slightest. He could immediately see that the clones were fake and that Poison Spirit’s real body was still concealed. Poison Spirit was stealthily coming from his left, about to launch a sneak attack.
“Ha!”
Heavenly King You’s spear shook as he killed all the Sword Emanations Race beings near him. His eyes then s.h.i.+fted as they became extremely cold. He decided to let Jiang Yi go and kill Poison Spirit first! He roared, “Qi Qingchen, I am You Feng; do not listen to Jiang Yi’s lies!”
Qi Qingchen had instinctively wanted to attack but now paused for a moment. Her divine senses swept forward and realized that it was indeed Heavenly King You. She also found out that his gaze was murderously fixed to the left, and there was a sliver of turbulence in the spatial zone there; it was where Poison Spirit was at. She hurriedly shouted, “Heavenly King You, please do not be angry. We can always talk things through; there is no need to kill anyone!”
“Hmph!”
Heavenly King You ignored Qi Qingchen entirely. Even if it was the Wintry Sovereign here today and not just a la.s.s, he was determined to kill Poison Spirit.
“Sword Emanations King, now!”
Jiang Yi’s thunderous roar rang out. Suddenly, one of the Sword Emanations Race beings not far behind Heavenly King You moved. Its bone spurs on its back became blood-red and its speed suddenly accelerated ten-fold; the two swords on its hands furiously chopped at the Heavenly King You’s back!
Clang-clang!
Heavenly King You’s battle prowess was formidable; the Sword Emanations King had launched such a fierce sneak attack, and he actually managed to react. The headless spear in his hand waved as he blocked the few hundred consecutive attacks from the Sword Emanations King.
Buzz!
However, the Sword Emanations King’s body glowed red as concentrated amounts of baneful aura accompanied every attack and subtly entered Heavenly King You’s body and into his soul spirit. At this instant, Heavenly King You’s eyes grew red instantly as he was evidently affected.
“Get lost!”
He waved his spear furiously as he swiped it forward. The Sword Emanations King was actually sent cras.h.i.+ng as the red glow on its body also diminished significantly. Its energy had been depleted.
Swis.h.!.+
A light air-splitting noise rang out soon after. Poison Spirit had grasped the chance perfectly. Phantom Race members were born a.s.sa.s.sins; they could seize every opportunity and deal a fatal blow to their enemies.
A green light shot forward at a horrifying speed. Poison Spirit risked his life as he used the Divine Spirit Thrust. Furthermore, the redness in Heavenly King You’s eyes had not yet diminished; he was still under the influence of the baneful aura. This was the best chance for Poison Spirit.
“Gorgeous!”
Jiang Yi had tensed up. Whether they could deal a heavy blow to Heavenly King You or not depended on this strike. However, Qi Qingchen’s eyes grew dark as she averted her gaze.
Qi Qingchen was very clear; Poison Spirit would not be able to wound Heavenly King You. If anyone could harm the three commanders-in-chief of the Demon-Buster Army, the Demon-Buster Army would have long ceased to exist. Heavenly King You was definitely wearing Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure battle armor.
“Uh?”
Seeing Qi Qingchen’s expression change, Jiang Yi instinctively s.h.i.+vered internally. However, he immediately looked into the distance, hoping that a miracle would happen.
A miracle did not happen; furthermore, Poison Spirit’s actions befuddled Jiang Yi!
A green light flashed as one of Heavenly King You’s fingers was severed. Poison Spirit materialized as the Heavenly King You recovered himself and regained lucidness. Heavenly King You howled out loud as he raised his spear and ferocious pierced it at the fast-retreating Poison Spirit.
Poison Spirit’s Divine Spirit Thrust had succeeded; he had also wounded Heavenly King You! However, why did he attack Heavenly King You’s finger? For a formidable martial artist, even having a limb cut off was inconsequential, much less a mere finger.
The next moment!
Jiang Yi finally knew why. He suddenly grew excited and energized as Qi Qingchen’s eyes also lit up. Both of them shouted at the same time, “Splendidly done!”
Tsk! Tsk!
Heavenly King You’s spear also halted in midair; he did not dare to attack further. Poison Spirit was holding a ring in his hand. If Heavenly King You attacked, the ring might be destroyed. Even if Heavenly King You did not attack the ring, Poison Spirit could also destroy the ring right before he died!
The ring had been on Heavenly King You’s severed finger; this was his interspatial ring. Poison Spirit’s Divine Spirit Thrust had been used to steal this ring. Inside this ring… was a spatial divine item that contained You Tianni and countless young masters from various reputable clans.
Spatial divine items were a very special type of treasure. There was a refined small s.p.a.ce within. If any spatial divine item was destroyed, that s.p.a.ce inside would collapse as well. Everyone within that s.p.a.ce would be sucked into the spatial zone turbulence and be minced to death.
This traitor of the Phantom Race was no weaker than any top-notch a.s.sa.s.sin from his clan at seizing opportunities.
Jiang Yi, Poison Spirit, and the Sword Emanations King’s collaboration had been splendidly executed.
Poison Spirit was very clear that he was not going to be able to hurt Heavenly King You, much less kill him. Hence, he had opted for the next best option: while Heavenly King You was under the influence of the baneful aura, he could sever his finger and take his interspatial ring.
“It is… unbelievable!”
Although Qi Qingchen did not know the specifics—being extremely bright and smart, Qi Qingchen immediately guessed many things. She looked at Jiang Yi as she felt overwhelmed.
One Jiang Yi and one Poison Spirit had actually succeeded in launching a sneak attack on Heavenly King You when he was giving his best. They had even gotten the upper-hand and now had turned the tide in their favor!
