“Planning to run?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes gradually turned a shade of blood-red, and a shocking killing intent rushed forth from his body. His Ma.s.sacre Intent—which he hadn’t used in a long time—was finally released by him, and it instantly covered a range of hundred miles. With fresh blood flowing out of his body, he opened his mouth and howled, “Die, everyone has to die!”
The instant his Ma.s.sacre Intent was released, a majority of the people in the surrounding vicinity had a frightened and desperate look in their eyes. All of them were Soul Travel or Vajra Realm experts. The Ma.s.sacre Intent was too formidable, and they were completely unable to defend themselves.

Jiang Yi’s body ripped open the void, and he grabbed an ancient divine essence ring which was hovering in mid-air. It was Gui Ying’s ring, and Jiang Yi’s eighty million celestial stones were in there. There might also be a fortune hidden inside the ring. After all, he was the leader of the Black Wind Legion.
After keeping the ring, he didn’t chase down the several martial artists who managed to get away. Instead, he flew towards the deep pit underneath him where the terrifying Sky-Turning Cauldron which almost crushed him just a moment ago. At this moment, almost all the bones in his body were shattered, and all his injuries could be credited to this Sky-Turning Cauldron. There was no way he could miss the opportunity to obtain such a valuable treasure.
Thirty kilometers into the pit was a tiny dark-green cauldron quietly sat at the bottom of it. After the death of Gui Ying, this Sky-Turning Cauldron became an ownerless object which caused it to return to its original form. The runic patterns were no longer visible on the surface of the cauldron, and it was even missing a leg. It looked like a completely ordinary treasure which was semi-destroyed.
Pseudo-divine artifact!
Even though his whole body was riddled with injuries and he was in extreme pain, Jiang Yi’s eyes were as bright as day. A pseudo-divine artifact was the strongest treasure in this world. The Fire Cloud Armor on his body had saved his life countless times already. This time, if he could obtain an offensive pseudo-divine artifact, his combat abilities would reach a whole new level.
Grabbing the Sky-Turning Cauldron with a single hand, Jiang Yi felt a trace of indescribable aura coming from the small cauldron. Holding the cauldron made it seem as though he was holding a block of an ice-cold piece of jade. It was an extremely bizarre feeling.
“I’ll keep it first and refine it after I get back.”
Swallowing a recuperation elixir, his figure shot upwards and went straight towards the headquarters of the Black Wind Legion.
“My lord, please show mercy…”
“My lord, don’t kill me, I am willing to follow you. You will be my boss from now on!”
“No, my lord, don’t kill me, I don’t want to die.”
Before Jiang Yi even approached them, several peak Vajra realm experts yelled with all their might. Jiang Yi’s eyes were blood-red, and his terrifying killing intent caused everyone to tremble with fear. It was a fear which came from the deepest part of their heart. Looking at his young and handsome face, all of them felt as though he was a demonic fiend who came from h.e.l.l.
Jiang Yi’s expression remained frosty, and he didn’t say a single word. He didn’t need any subordinates and much less so for people at their realm. These mountain bandits were devoid of conscience and would kill anyone they came across. They bullied the weak and were afraid of the strong. Even if he killed every single one of them, he wouldn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt.
In this Black Wind Mountain, he faced death many times. Right now, his body was riddled with injuries, and there was a fire burning in his heart. Naturally, he wouldn’t show any mercy. As he flew, his hands didn’t move at all. The extremely high temperature he emitted incinerated thousands of them and turned them all into b.a.l.l.s of flames. Countless of them emitted a long cry instinctively, and at this moment, Black Wind Mountain turned into h.e.l.l.
One thousand, two thousand, five thousand… eight thousand!
Of the eight thousand martial artists who didn’t manage to escape from the Ma.s.sacre Intent, all of them were burnt alive. Countless ancient divine essence rings, armor, and weapons filled the sky. As Jiang Yi’s divine senses spread out, he scanned through the area once, and after making sure that no Heaven Monarchs were hiding in the area, he soared through the air and kept all the ancient divine essence rings. After doing so, he sat down on the ground, cross-legged, and his hands shook, scattering the Thunder Fire s.h.i.+eld around him.
After the Thunder Fire was completely absorbed by the Fire Spirit Pearl, Jiang Yi took out the Thearch Palace which appeared along with a white flash. Yang Dong and the rest appeared in midair. Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, and everyone else was sent out.
“Young Master!””Young Master!””Chief Jiang!”
Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, Yang Dong, and the rest were shocked by the sight of the blood on Jiang Yi’s body. After Yang Dong swept the surroundings with his divine senses and made sure that there were no experts nearby, he waved his hand and ordered, “Spread out and stay on guard.”
Jiang Yi weakly waved his hand and signaled for everyone to relax. Forcing a smile on his face, Jiang Yi said, “The Black Wind Legion has been annihilated by me. Everyone else ran away, and this should be a safe place. All of you, stay on your guard for a little and wait for me to recover. We’ll return to Sky Thunder Island after this.”
“The Black Wind Legion has been annihilated?”
Yang Dong, Niu w.a.n.g, and the rest looked at one another, and there was a look of shock in their eyes. They engaged in battle with Gui Ying and his troops which resulted in the death of more than forty people. They were extremely clear on how powerful the Black Wind Legion was. Even if all of them banded together, they would be waiting to die. Jiang Yi actually managed to kill them all by himself?!
There weren’t any corpses in the surroundings, and there were only several destroyed buildings around them. There were also some sc.r.a.p weapons, armor, and whatnot. If anyone else said what Jiang Yi said to them, Yang Dong, Niu w.a.n.g, and the rest would snort at them with disdain. However, all of them believed in Jiang Yi, and their respect and faith in him strengthened as well.
Jiang Yi didn’t bother about them, and after swallowing two recuperation elixirs, he closed his eyes. Feng Luan unleashed her darkness dao pattern and shrouded everyone in the range of several dozen miles in darkness. This made it a little safer for all of them.
…
“How is this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Lone Wolf, so strong?’
Jiang Yi and the rest didn’t know, but there was a white-armored Heaven Monarch expert located several hundred miles away from them, hiding in a small hole in the mountain. He was holding a crystal ball in his hand, and right at that moment, the scene in the crystal ball was quickly replaced by darkness. The last scene was vague, but he could see Feng Luan raising her hand to release her darkness dao pattern.
If Jiang Yi and the rest saw who this was, they would definitely be shocked. This Heaven Monarch was precisely commander Lu Di from Sky Thunder City. Lu Ping was right: Lu Di was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes.
As a disciple of the Lu Clan, Lu Di’s uncle was his backer and was an elder of the Lu Clan. If he wanted to use the Lu Clan’s information network to track the whereabouts of Qian w.a.n.guan and the rest, it was too easy. It was effortless for him to contact a bunch of mountain bandits to ambush Qian w.a.n.guan. This time, he wanted to kill Jiang Yi and others with a borrowed knife, which would break Lu Ping’s road to fortune. He could expel his resentment while he was at it.
However, he never expected Jiang Yi to be so fierce. He killed Gui Ying and the rest alone and annihilated the Black Wind Legion which was one of the ten largest mountain bandit groups on White Tiger Island. If it weren’t for him suffering serious injuries, Lu Di was afraid not a single member would leave that place alive.
“Lone Wolf, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you had better watch out!”
Lu Di’s cold eyes spun around and gnashed his teeth as he muttered. He didn’t dare to fall out with Lu Ping publicly, but he felt as though it would be too easy to plot in the dark against Jiang Yi and others. Unless they refused to take a single step out of the city.
“Not leaving the city? Hurhur.”
A sneer formed on the edge of Lu Di’s mouth. Lu Ping would definitely continue to peddle thunder stones. Jiang Yi and the rest would definitely have to leave the city in order to conduct the trades as there was no way merchants from East Imperial Continent could enter Sky Thunder City to trade. If that were to happen, they would be easily exposed which would cause the Lu Clan’s enforcement team to kill them.
As long as Jiang Yi and the rest left the city, he would be able to send people to keep an eye on them. He would slowly think of an idea to kill Jiang Yi and friends.
“Right… Young Master Lin!”
Lu Di suddenly thought of something, and he cried out in surprise. In the next instant, his eyes spun; and a fire lit up inside them. He coldly mumbled, “Young Master Lin loves to gather beauties from all over the world. That la.s.s looks like she can transform her body, and she is definitely from a special race. She’s so pretty and pure like white paper. She’s like a G.o.ddess who is high above everyone else. If I bring Young Master Lin around Sky Thunder City for a tour and let him notice this little beauty… what will happen? Heh heh!”
Swis.h.!.+
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He no longer cared about Jiang Yi and the rest as he turned into a streak of rainbow light as he shot out into the distance. He quickly disappeared into the wilderness.
