Chapter 346: Mid-Grade Dao Pattern

“Green Clear Vase!”
A green vase appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand, and when his essence force revolved around the Green Clear Vase, it immediately lit up. There was this green light that enveloped He Lao as Jiang Yi spoke in an unquestionable voice, “He Lao, don’t resist. You have already suffered grievous injuries. Go in and recuperate first. Trust me, I will definitely survive to the teleportation array.”
He Lao originally wanted to resist and not be stored in the Green Clear Vase. Once he heard how firm Jiang Yi’s tone was, he gritted his teeth and allowed the forceful suction act on his body, causing him to vanish.
However…
Something shocked Jiang Yi and He Lao again. He Lao’s body vanished and quickly reappeared at the same place—as he wasn’t able to enter the s.p.a.ce within the Green Clear Vase.
“What kind of sick restriction is this?”
Jiang Yi began to curse loudly, but he quickly thought it through. Since this place didn’t allow him to instant-s.h.i.+ft, it was apparent that this entire s.p.a.ce had been restricted. Since this s.p.a.ce had been restricted, He Lao naturally couldn’t vanish and enter the unique small s.p.a.ce within the Green Clear Vase.
“He Lao, follow me! Trust me!”
Jiang Yi’s body rushed forward, blocking He Lao at the back. He threw a recuperation elixir into his mouth and brandished the Fire Dragon Sword to release the attacks.
Swis.h.!.+
As the Fire Dragon Sword was swung down, two fire dragons were launched out. Jiang Yi didn’t even stop for a moment while his Fire Dragon Sword radiated constantly while cleaving to the left, right, and back.
Swis.h.!.+
As his body continued to advance, he couldn’t rely on He Lao anymore and could only rely on himself. If he was to die, He Lao would die, too. He had to go all-out.
After going all-out, he managed to stop the red-eyed creatures from approaching; but his essence force was being used up like water. Attacking with highly-concentrated power quickly exhausted his body and soul spirit. He didn’t know how long he could last.
Jiang Yi was doing whatever he could while He Lao couldn’t persevere anymore. He was too seriously injured as his body was filled with penetrated wounds from the creatures’ sharp claws. If he didn’t recuperate now, he was going to die. He wasn’t afraid of death, but he was recuperating because he wanted to help Jiang Yi one more time during the most crucial moment.
“Ku Ku!”
After more than two hours, the red-eyed creatures rushed over in a frenzy. Jiang Yi’s attack speed wasn’t as fast as earlier on; it was natural that these creatures could get nearer. One of the creatures on the left slashed down on Jiang Yi’s shoulder with the sharp claws which were like indestructible artifact swords.
“Get lost!”
Essence force was revolving in Jiang Yi’s other hand as it condensed the Exploding Essence Palm and blasted it at the creature. There was a huge explosion, causing the creature’s arm to burst into pieces. Its body was blasted away which knocked into a few creatures at the back.
In just this blink of the eye, the creatures came nearer from the other three directions. Jiang Yi wasn’t omnipotent and could only shoot out the two fire dragons to the front while his other hand blasted the right side with the Exploding Essence Palm.
“Jiang Yi, das.h.!.+”
He Lao let out a roar and struggled to brandish the heaven artifact, forcefully releasing another attack, cleaving the creatures that caught up from the back. His mouth spat out fresh blood as though it was limitless.
“He Lao!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes were bursting apart, but he couldn’t bother about it at this moment. He had to desperately release attacks in all directions, preventing the creatures from getting nearer.
The teleportation array was right ahead, and there were over three kilometers left. Jiang Yi enhanced his vision with the black essence force and could clearly see the illusionary white light that was floating in the teleportation array. As long as they could enter the teleportation array, they would be completely safe.
The distance of over three kilometers would normally be covered in an instant, but now, it was a chasm between life and death!
Jiang Yi’s attack was getting slower while there were more creatures that were approaching. Every time, He Lao had to let out a desperate attack to help Jiang Yi withstand them. The blood that He Lao was spurting out was getting more, and his speed was getting slower. He felt as though his legs weighed 5000 kilograms, and every step was a struggle.
“Jiang Yi, I won’t make it. Go by yourself!”
He Lao suddenly squirmed his mouth and spoke weakly. When he spoke, there was more blood trickling out from the corner of his mouth. He forced out a smile, but he looked even more awful compared to his crying face.
“Ahhh!”
Jiang Yi roared out with rage and brandished a few more blades violently. He turned around and burst out with a roar, “He Lao, hold on. I will not abandon you. If you are going to die, then we will die together!”
“Fool!”
He Lao struggled to release another essence force attack towards the back. He was so weak now that he couldn’t even release any dao pattern attack. He hysterically yelled out, “Go quickly, Young Master Yi! Otherwise, Old He will immediately commit suicide! Go…”
“Go…”
“Ku Ku!”
“Hu Hu!”
He Lao’s roar of rage echoed within the canyon, which was coupled with the m.u.f.fled cries of the creatures and the howling wind from above the canyon. The sounds echoing in the canyon seemingly formed a piece of sorrowful music. It was like arranged to send He Lao on his way or perhaps to send Jiang Yi on his way.
“Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!”
Seeing the red-eyed creatures flocking over in a frenzy, seeing He Lao collapsed without any strength left while he looked at Jiang Yi with despair. He could see the distant teleportation array which was still glistening with gentle white light, hearing the mournful sound of the wind above the canyons. Jiang Yi’s heart was in despair as well.
He couldn’t save He Lao, and he couldn’t save himself either. It seemed like this canyon was going to be the place that they were going to perish.
Howl!
The sound of the wind was getting louder at this moment, and there was a gale that came from a distance, echoing in the canyons and forming a special sound—that sounded very bleak in their ears.
“Wind?”
At this moment, Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly looked perplexed. As the wind echoed and whizzed across his ear, there was this scenery that appeared in his mind. A gale blew in from outside, past the restriction, into the canyon, onto the cliffs, and onto jutting rocks—splitting the wind into two… while forming a particular noise.
“The wind blew on the rock and split into two?”
Jiang Yi’s soul spirit suddenly shook while his entire body shuddered. He felt as though he touched something in a haze and seemed to have caught hold of the origin and quintessence of the wind!
“The wind is formless and is innumerable. The wind can be merged, and it can also split into thousands and tens of thousands!
“This isn’t right. It isn’t right…
“Why must the wind split? It is already everywhere, and it just had to flow from this place to that place. It is something that fills up all the places in heaven and earth. Hence… there is no need for the wind to split. I just need to borrow the power of the wind and let it carry wisps of essence force—let it guide the essence force. This way, I can casually release infinite attacks!
“Hahaha, so this is how it is! I finally comprehend another type of wind attribute dao pattern! Hahaha…”
Jiang Yi suddenly laughed loudly, and his voice was filled with unrestrained delight. During this period of time, this moment might be the most cheerful moment he had experienced.
In the blink of an eye…!
Jiang Yi’s moment of comprehension was only for a split moment. When He Lao saw the countless red-eyed creatures that rushed over, he had already closed his eyes in despair. When he heard Jiang Yi’s ecstatic laughter, he was instantly astonished as he opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yi.
He took a quick glance, and his eyes suddenly shrank as though he had seen a ghost!
The Fire Dragon Sword in Jiang Yi’s hand suddenly lit up. This time, he didn’t cleave two fire dragons. He shot out a ray of red essence force instead. As soon as that essence force left the Fire Dragon Sword, it instantly split into several tens of thousands of essence force attacks.
Furthermore… this essence force attack didn’t go in a straight line. It burst out in all directions, like small fire dragons which attacked all the surrounding red-eyed creatures. Every one of the fire dragons had horrifying aura presence which wasn’t inferior to the two fire dragons which Jiang Yi always shot out.
Tens of thousands of fire dragons were dancing in the sky!
It was a magnificent scene which caused the heart to palpitate.
Pong! Pong! Pong!
All the red-eyed creatures flocking towards them crashed with the countless fire dragons. Many of the creatures’ limbs immediately burst apart while their bodies were blasted away. Explosions echoed one after another, the nearby radius of around thirty meters had been clear out by Jiang Yi’s single move.
“This… this…”
He Lao’s lips s.h.i.+vered, and his body couldn’t stop shaking. He looked at these little fire dragons with disbelief and took a few glances at Jiang Yi. He then stuttered and muttered, “How… how is this possible? This firepower is something only a mid-grade dao pattern attack possesses. Young… Young Master Yi had an instant comprehension and actually comprehended a mid-grade dao pattern? Even the no.1 prodigy Shui Youlan didn’t have such a capability, right?”
