Tsk! Tsk!
Jiang Yi was in mid-air as he cleaved the Fire Dragon Sword at the Martial Arts Branch Hall. Under the Ma.s.sacre Intent, no one in the Stellarsky City could move. Since they were immobilized, what use did Dugu Qiu have for escaping into the Martial Arts Branch Hall?
Boom! Boom!
The Martial Arts Branch Hall had a small-scale barrier, and when Jiang Yi’s fire dragons clashed onto the barrier, it caused a huge explosion and caused the barrier to flicker constantly. However, the barrier didn’t waver; it seemed to have great defensive strength.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Jiang Yi consecutively cleaved three times, but the barrier was still intact.
He had an idea and turned his blood red eyes to look at those peak-grade demon kings at the western side of the city. Since the Martial Arts Branch Hall wasn’t going to be broken in a short amount of time, he would first kill all the demon kings. In any case, the Chief Hall Master was immobilized after being enveloped by the Ma.s.sacre Intent, and all the more he wouldn’t dare to rush out.
These demon kings were too horrific, and if there was an accident, the rest of the army would be quickly eliminated. It was better to be careful, and so he decided to deal with the demon kings first.
Swis.h.!.+
He didn’t dare to instant-s.h.i.+ft as the Ma.s.sacre Intent would vanish, and Dugu Qiu might be able to escape. His body turned into an afterimage as he rushed towards the western side of the city. His Fire Dragon Sword turned into multiple afterimages as he cleaved at the head of a demon king.
Bang!
The demon king had powerful defenses. The Fire Dragon Sword might have sent the demon king flying several feet, but the wound was neither shallow nor deep. A few of the soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom was also knocked into by the demon king, but luckily, they didn’t get crushed to death.
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Jiang Yi kept the Fire Dragon Sword and circled the place, throwing all the martial artists from the Great Xia Kingdom like sacks. One of his hands then gently brushed across a demon king’s body.
Tsk! Tsk!
The Fire Spirit Pearl emitted a small lump of ghost flame which immediately burned the demon king with the horrifyingly high temperature. The demon king was wailing with agony, but the voice had only reached the side of the mouth before it turned into a whimper. Its giant head was turning into ash at a speed which was visible to the naked eye.
The Netherworld Ghost Flames’ heat could even destroy saint artifacts. It was already praiseworthy for its physical body to withstand for even a blink of an eye!
Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+
Jiang Yi repeated the process as he roamed the western part of the city. He flung the soldiers away before he released another lump of ghost flames to effortlessly incinerate the demon kings.
“Lord Regent!”
Most of the soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom were all kneeling on the ground while some had completely collapsed and were s.h.i.+vering like insects. They were also looking at Jiang Yi with fear in their eyes. When Jiang Yi flew over, their mouths were convulsing as they wanted to smile but ended up with fear. Their smiles were even uglier than when they were crying.
When they saw the demon kings being incinerated, the entire western city was burning up with heat, causing their bodies to sweat profusely. They felt as though they were placed on the grill, but their soul spirits were surging with delight.
Their king didn’t disappoint them indeed.
At the crucial moment, he had stood out like a G.o.d to suppress and kill all of those vicious and formidable enemies!
“Wu… Wu…”
A group of demon kings looked on as their comrades were incinerated. Their eyes were filled with fear, but none of them spoke. None of the demon kings begged for mercy or submitted themselves. Some demon kings revealed an expression as though they were freed when they were about to die.
How profound is this Mult.i.tude Beast PaG.o.da for all these demon kings to die so willingly? They are even revealing expressions of relieve. Could it be extremely tormenting to stay in the Mult.i.tude Beast PaG.o.da? En… After I kill Dugu Qiu later, I will take this Mult.i.tude Beast PaG.o.da and check it out.
Jiang Yi was silently amazed. Of course, he didn’t stop and continued incinerating the demon kings. He didn’t have any intention to capture these demon kings under him.
His Ma.s.sacre Intent had already reached the fifth rank and was at the consummate rank. He was already invincible in the Vajra Realm; what use did he have for the peak-grade demon kings?
These demon kings had killed hundreds of thousands of his soldiers, making it impossible for him to take in these demon kings. He had to avenge the fallen soldiers, he had to… kill all the enemies and offer them as a tribute for their resting souls.
Tsk! Tsk!
The ghost flames incinerated the demon kings one after another. Jiang Yi’s eyes would constantly look towards the Martial Arts Branch Hall and made sure there weren’t any abnormal movements, which would put relief in his heart.
As long as he could kill Dugu Qiu and capture Ji Tingyu, Jiang Xiaonu and the others would be saved.
Ten, fifty… ninety…
In just one hour, more than ninety peak-grade demon kings that were like more than ninety Xia Tingwei and Sha Di were totally wiped out.
Even in the hundreds of thousands of years of the Stellarsky Continent’s history, there were probably less than a hundred peak-grade demon kings in total. Today, a hundred of them had fallen in Stellarsky City, and this major event was destined to be recorded in history.
Of course, the events that happened in Stellarsky City today were originally worthy to be known for eternity and would be engraved in the memories of the future generations.
Shh-shh-shh!
After eliminating all the demon kings, Jiang Yi turned to face the Martial Arts Branch Hall at the plaza of the Stellarsky City and slowly walked over. He had very light steps which would only give out light footsteps, but the footsteps were like the grim reapers coming to take people’s souls. It caused Ling Xue and everyone else in the plaza to feel utter despair.
Ling Xue’s strength level was very weak. She and Ji Tingyu didn’t have the heart to cultivate and had both relied on celestial stones to barely raise themselves to the Soul Travel Realm.
Right now, she was kneeling because of the horrific pressure coming from Jiang Yi. Her delicate body was convulsing, and her skin was red hot. Her chest was undulating intensively, and her shoulders were trembling.
In fact, if it was anyone else with her level of strength, they would already have collapsed on the ground. She relied on her tough willpower to struggle and persevere. She didn’t want to let Jiang Yi see her in such a pathetic state. Even if she had to die, she wanted to die with dignity.
As Ling Xue saw Jiang Yi walking over, she suddenly smiled. It was truly heaven-defying for her to smile when under the suppression of the Ma.s.sacre Intent.
Her eyes were filled with pa.s.sion and guilt. Her lips struggled to wiggle but she couldn’t make any sound. Jiang Yi was still able to know what she wanted to say from the shape of her lips.
Goodbye, the man that I love most. I am unfated to be with you in this lifetime, and everything is Ling Xue’s own doings. In my next life, I hope to have the opportunity to be your woman…
“Pfff!”
Ling Xue’s chest suddenly raised up as she spurted out black blood from her mouth while her body collapsed on the ground. Her eyes gradually lost all vigor while her aura presence grew weak. From the depths of her eyes, Jiang Yi could see a trace of absolution.
She was an exceptional beauty that had chosen to end her own life at the age of twenty years old.
Jiang Yi paused his footsteps while his blood red eyes looked at Ling Xue’s face which was covered in blood. He was emotionless and was terrifyingly cool.
He looked at Ling Xue in a daze before letting out a long sigh. He then looked towards the glittering Martial Arts Branch Hall.
Because of the barrier, his divine senses were unable to scan inside. He was didn’t know what was happening inside. However, he believed that even if the barrier was up, his Ma.s.sacre Intent could still affect the people inside. The pressure was invisible and could pervade everything!
“Dugu Qiu, Ji Tingyu, prepare for death!”
His Fire Dragon Sword was radiating as he abruptly cleaved down at the Martial Arts Branch Hall. How tough could this small barrier be? Could it be even stronger than Stellarsky City’s barrier? As long as he broke open the barrier, all the people inside would have to die.
Boom! Boom!
Jiang Yi’s blood red eyes contracted when tens of thousands of fire dragons actually broke the barrier effortlessly and caused the branch hall to explode into many pieces. He scanned the interior of the branch hall with his divine senses and found out that the large Martial Arts Branch Hall was actually empty.
Dugu Qiu, Ji Tingyu, and the others had actually escaped taciturnly?!
