833 Fury of Thunder

"Uncle Situ, I am not the one that went overboard!"

Jiang Yi used his peripheral vision to look at Situ Ao and laughed bitterly. "Could Uncle"s vision not see that the opposition has come prepared?"

The G.o.ds Bestow City was a hundred miles away from here. The distance wasn"t far as Lei Tingwei and the others could arrive here in an instant, but how many men did they bring? The Lu, Nangong, and Lei Clans brought at least a few thousand Heaven Monarchs, right? How could anyone gather so many people in such a short time? How could they arrive at such speed?

There was only one explanation… the experts from the three clans were already armed and on standby.

Situ Ao sighed lightly. In fact, he was able to muster 5000 Heaven Monarchs because his scouts had detected strange movements from the three clans. He had prepared his men just in case, and he didn"t expect for something to really happen.

Swish! Swish!

Tens of thousands of people flew over as the Lei, Nangong, and Lu Clans brought the most men. It was obvious that the rest of the clans didn"t make any preparations as they only brought a few hundred or close to a thousand men. The Huangfu Clan was a little better as they brought over more than a thousand men.

All eyes were on Jiang Yi while Huangfu Qi and the others were blinking their eyes non-stop. They didn"t understand what was happening, but they sensed that the experts from the three clans had strange movements. They instinctively brought their men along.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The descendants of the various clans soared into the sky and back to their clan"s forces while the descendants from the rest of the smaller clans in the city had flown to one side and didn"t dare to move recklessly. Situ Yixiao flew over to Situ Ao"s side. His eyes were flickering as he was at a complete loss. Princess Qianqian soared to the sky along with Black Deity as they stood at the side and observed with indifferent eyes.

Swish!

Huangfu Taotian had also flown to the sky, but he flew towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi took a glance and yelled out immediately, "Huangfu Taotian, this matter is not related to you. Go back to the city."

"Hmph!"

Huangfu Taotian swept an unsatisfied glance at Jiang Yi and transmitted a message: "Jiang Yi, what is the meaning of this? Why don"t you tell me when you want to act? Do you even treat me as a brother? I said I will follow you for ten years. Do you think I am joking?"

Jiang Yi let out an agonized smile when he saw Huangfu Taotian"s determined eyes. This person was truly a stubborn bull. If Jiang Yi knew this would happen, he shouldn"t have brought Huangfu Taotian to Sky Ascension Peak. Jiang Yi didn"t try to persuade anymore as he cast his eyes at Lei Tingwei, Nangong Yunyi, and Lu Li while staying silent.

Lei Tingwei"s eyes shot out with chilling light while his aura presence was like a desolate and fierce beast. He stopped when he was a few kilometers away from Jiang Yi. He then suppressed his rage and said, "Jiang Yi, release my son, and I will spare your life!"

Nangong Yunyi shouted coldly as well, "Jiang Yi, hand Qiling over, and I will spare your life!"

"Ke-Ke!"

Jiang Yi sneered and responded, "Will you two Clan Heads stop playing word games with me. If I released Lei Qiyan and hand over Qiling, even if the two of you don"t make a move, your subordinates and the Lu Clan will make the move, right? Since your three clans brought so many men over, aren"t you thinking to kill me and w.a.n.guan? Don"t worry, before I die, I will make Lei Qiyan die along with me."

"En?"

Lei Tingwei"s eyes flashed with light as he looked at Nangong Yunyi and Lu Li. The trio revealed flabbergasted expressions as the three of them didn"t intend to let Jiang Yi and Qian w.a.n.guan survive today. They didn"t expect for Jiang Yi to predict it so quickly and had taken the initiative to seize Lei Qiyan, making them helpless.

Lei Tingwei paused and spoke in a deep tone, "What do you want?"

"Very simple!"

Jiang Yi got right to the point and spoke, "Hand over Nangong Qiling"s mother to me. We will leave G.o.ds Bestow Tribe, and after we get out, I will release the hostage. You may also pursue me. How about it?"

When Jiang Yi spoke like this, Situ Ao wasn"t pleased. He might not understand a lot of things, but how could he let Jiang Yi and the others leave?

Jiang Yi and Qian w.a.n.guan were generational geniuses, and their departure would mean huge losses to the Situ Clan. Furthermore, Situ Yinian had been kept inside Jiang Yi"s Thearch Palace. He quickly spoke, "Jiang Yi. Everything can be discussed. You are now the honorary elder of the Situ Clan, and w.a.n.guan is also my fine son-in-law. Even if you make some mistakes, I think the Clan Heads wouldn"t go as far as to use force. Why not go back to G.o.ds Bestow City first? If there are some conflicts, everyone can sit down to discuss?"

Situ Ao started to act as the peacemaker as he stated clearly that he wanted to save Jiang Yi and Qian w.a.n.guan. Huangfu Qi also spoke, "Jiang Yi, release the hostage first. Lei Qiyan is going to die if he continues bleeding like this. Everything can be discussed. All the Clan Heads are present today, and there is nothing we cannot clear up."

Situ Ao and Huangfu Qi"s goodwill had made things difficult for Jiang Yi. He might not understand why the three clans suddenly prepared to kill them tonight. Weren"t they afraid they might start a war with the Situ Clan? Jiang Yi was certain that once he released Lei Qiyan, the three clans would definitely make the move. Not even Situ Ao and Huangfu Qi would be able to protect them if they worked together.

From Lei Tingwei, Nangong Yunyi, and Lu Li"s eyes, Jiang Yi saw the absolute intention to kill!

Hence, Jiang Yi paused for a moment and spoke, "Let"s do it like this. We will exchange hostage for a hostage. Hand Nangong Qiling"s mother over, and I will release Lei Qiyan!"

Lei Tingwei and Nangong Yunyi looked at each other. Nangong Yunyi then waved his hand while a black jar in the hands of the Nangong Clan"s elder lit up. A middle-aged woman appeared, who was brought forward by a few meters in the hands of that elder. "This is Qiling"s mother. Can we exchange the hostages now?"

Buzz!

When the Thearch Palace appeared in Jiang Yi"s hand, Big Sister Bell appeared, too. She took a glance and yelled out instantly, "Mother!"

"Qiling!"

That woman was originally trembling after seeing so many influential figures as she didn"t know what was happening, but when she saw Big Sister Bell, she instantly cried out with agony.

"Alright! Big Sister Bell, go bring your mother over."

Jiang Yi spoke with a cold voice while his Fire Dragon Sword radiated with essence force. He had this outlook that he was preparing to fight at any moment. Lei Tingwei waved his hand and said, "Wait, didn"t we say to exchange the hostages? If you don"t release my son, don"t even think about getting her. Jiang Yi, why should I believe you?"

"You have no choice!"

Jiang Yi"s Fire Dragon Sword pointed at Lei Tingwei and said, "You either hand over the hostage, or I will die with your son!"

The whole crowd was in dead silence. In fact, the majority of the people still didn"t understand why was the situation like this? Why did Jiang Yi get violent and make things like this? Why was he going to exchange his hostage for an old woman? Even if he got this old woman, what could he do? What was going to happen next? Was the Situ Clan going to start a battle with the Lei, Nangong, and Lu Clans?

Lei Tingwei and Jiang Yi glared at each other like two lions, and it seemed like no one was willing to give way. Jiang Xiaonu"s hand was still stabbed inside Lei Qiyan"s chest, and there wasn"t even a trace of trembling as though she was an ice-cold puppet. Blood was still dripping from Lei Qiyan"s chest, forming a trace of blood onto Jiang Xiaonu"s hand and sliding down. He had this painful look which nearly distorted his face.

"Hand her over!"

Lei Tingwei ultimately roared with gritted teeth. That elder slowly flew forward with Big Sister Bell"s mother; Big Sister Bell flew towards her mother with a greatly delighted expression.

"Qiling!"

The Nangong Clan"s elder tossed the woman, causing Big Sister Bell"s weak mother to cry out with alarm. Big Sister Bell circulated her essence force and turned into an afterimage and flew towards her mother. Just at this moment, the Nangong Clan"s elder flashed while his hand grasped at Big Sister Bell"s neck like a venomous snake. He activated his divine shield and had a dreadful aura presence as he was actually a peak-stage Heaven Monarch!

"Be careful!"

Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian burst out at the same time while Jiang Yi"s mouth turned cold as he roared with rage, "Seeking death! Fury of Thunder!"

His Fire Dragon Sword cleaved down without any mercy, but the Fire Dragon Sword didn"t surge out with any Thunder Fire; neither did any fire dragons whiz out. Instead, there was a ray of light from the Nine Heavens above while a thunderbolt struck down abruptly. The speed was so fast that Situ Yixiao, Huangfu Taotian, and the others couldn"t see clearly. They only felt a flash of white light as the thunderbolt struck at that Nangong Clan"s elder immediately.

Subsequently, a shocking incident happened. When the thunderbolt struck onto the Nangong Clan"s peak stage Heaven Monarch elder, his divine shield ruptured immediately; and his body turned into dust. His hand was just three meters away from Big Sister Bell.
