Fury Towards The Burning Heaven-Chapter 1709 - We Deserve the Death Penalty

He had achieved a full understanding of the Quintessence. The Heavenly Springs Rhythm was successfully merged with the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. In addition to the baneful aura produced by the Massacre Intent, there were three mystical abilities merged together. Naturally, the Divine Sound Heaven Skills' power was unimaginable. At the very least, Jiang Yi had already proved that ordinary King-Ranked would be no match for his Divine Sound Heaven Skill.

The tens of people charged towards him. Among them were two King-Ranked martial artists. In Jiang Yi's eyes, however, they were as useless as clay animals. He did not pay any attention to their attacks as he began to play his zither. The tens of people were immediately stopped. All except one person began writing in pain in midair.

One King-Ranked martial artist's soul spirit was quite strong. He was not greatly affected by Jiang Yi's zither sounds. However, he could not move his body, and his eyes were shut tight.

Swish!

The mummy charged forward at an unstoppable speed. It was undeniably strong; it could kill ordinary King-Ranked martial artists even if they were wearing Primitive Spiritual Treasures as armors. The King-Ranked martial artists here were not formidable at all. How would they be allowed to wear Heaven Spirit Treasures as their battle armors?

Now, Jiang Yi was on the broad shoulders of the mummy. Both of the mummy's hands were empty. Its claws danced around, slaughtering the Titled God Thearchs in its way and killing them easily.

"En?"

As the mummy charged towards the King-Ranked martial artist who was not affected by the zither sounds, the King-Ranked martial artist's eyes shot open. He thrust his sword towards Jiang Yi's c.h.e.s.t.

"Die—"

Jiang Yi did not know whether this man had been feigning earlier or whether he suddenly regained his consciousness in the face of life-threatening danger. However, without any regard for the mummy's claw, he waved his long sword and caused black streams of light to shoot out. He wanted to bring Jiang Yi down with him to the grave.

Clank, clank!

At such a close distance, Jiang Yi had no time to react. He did not even move his body. All he did was keep his zither and allow the long sword to pierce his c.h.e.s.t. The sound of metal striking metal was heard, and there were sparks. Jiang Yi was knocked back by the impact, but the Heavenly Wind Armor protecting his c.h.e.s.t remained intact. He only felt a bit of pain in his c.h.e.s.t. He guessed that he had just sustained a light injury.

"Ahhh!"

Jiang Yi was fine, but the King-Ranked martial artist was not. The mummy's claws dug several holes in his head, causing him to die in the blink of an eye. However, since Jiang Yi was knocked back, he stopped playing the zither. Many people regained their consciousness as a result.

Clang-clang!

Jiang Yi retrieved his zither once again and began playing casually as his body shot forward. The people who had earlier regained consciousness began writhing in midair once again. Jiang Yi then resumed his killing spree.

"I'm finished… I'm finished…"

Dao Ren was running as fast as he could, but he was moving too slowly. He had already gotten a fair distance away, but he was still being affected by the sounds of Jiang Yi's zither. When he heard the screams behind him, he did not even dare to turn around. Instead, he gritted his teeth and continued to charge forward as fast as he could.

Dao Nù had initially stopped him from coming, but he insisted. He said that he wanted to personally take revenge on Dao Feng's behalf, but in actual fact, he only wanted to ascertain his position as the first young master of the Dao Clan. He wanted Dao Nù's approval of him because he never favored Dao Ren before this. How could he give up such a good opportunity to gain Dao Nù's approval?

He really cherished his own life. Although he tagged along, he did not stick with Dao Nù for fear that he would be killed. After all, the Longtan Mystic Realm was the actual battlefield. Thus, he hid himself in this small mystic realm. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi did not go to the Longtan Mystic Realm but headed here instead.

He felt like heaven had dealt him a bad hand. How long had it been since he became the first young master? He was going to follow in Dao Feng's footsteps very soon. In the face of death, the cogs in his mind kept turning. The d.e.s.i.r.e to live caused him to calm down.

"That's right… the Divine Escape Talisman. I have the Divine Escape Talisman. I am an idiot!"

He quickly remembered something: he had a Divine Escape Talisman on him. He had never used it before, and he was so scared earlier that he completely forgot. He only had to crush the Divine Escape Talisman so that he could be sent back to the Azure Region.

Buzz!

His ring lit up, and a jade talisman appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to crush it, he felt a terrifying heat wave travel towards him, causing the surrounding temperature to rise. He did not even have time to crush the jade talisman before a searing pain shot up his body and caused him to writhe in midair.

Swish!

Jiang Yi steered the mummy towards him. He grabbed the Divine Escape Talisman with one hand and then sighed pitifully. He had two more balls of Merged Flames left. He had just been forced to use one. He had no other choice left; he could not possibly watch as Dao Ren escaped.

He grabbed Dao Ren and continued to steer the mummy towards the north. The battle earlier had only lasted for five seconds. Although his chasers were nearing, Jiang Yi could easily shake them off again.

"Stop chasing me, or I will throw pieces of your young master back to you."

The moment Jiang Yi said this, the people behind him dared not give chase anymore. Dao Ren was Dao Nù's son. Although Dao Nù did not fancy this son of his, Dao Ren was still the first young master of the Dao Clan. If Jiang Yi killed him, they would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Very good!"

Jiang Yi looked behind him and saw that all the soldiers had stopped giving chase. Immediately, he felt rejuvenated. It looked like this young master's status in the Dao Clan was quite high. With him in Jiang Yi's hands, at least he could buy himself some time until Heavenly King Wei came.

He retrieved several recuperation medicines and slipped them in Dao Ren's mouth. Once he was sure Dao Ren would not die, he sent him into the Chaos Essence Pearl. Then, he closed his eyes and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. Using his divine senses, he kept an eye on the surrounding situation. He wanted to make sure that nobody was going to assassinate him.

There was too much Power of Heaven and Earth in his ninth star sphere. Jiang Yi was sure that he would not be able to use them all up. There was more than enough to sustain the mummy's flight for one or two more months. Jiang Yi did not fear that he would run out at all. He kept channeling more Power of Heaven and Earth into the mummy, causing it to run at top speed. Soon, they disappeared into the horizon.

More than three hundred people remained in the void, looking at one another… at a loss as to what was to be done. They felt like they had made a grave mistake. A King-Ranked elder looked at another magnificent-looking elder and asked, "What should we do, Sixth Brother?"

"How would I know?"

The magnificent elder's expression darkened. He kept quiet for several seconds before saying through gritted teeth, "We'll slowly give chase. Split up in a fan-formation. Even if we cannot catch him, we need to know where he is headed. We will wait for the Family Head to arrive before we make further decisions."

"Alright!"

Once they heard the words 'Family Head', the corners of everyone's lips twitched. Fear filled their eyes. Not only had they failed to delay Jiang Yi, but they even allowed Jiang Yi to hold Dao Ren hostage. They could not imagine the fury and wrath that Dao Nù would experience once he caught wind of the situation.

Everyone split up into a fan-formation and gave chase. They chased for fifteen minutes before Dao Nù and Dao Leng finally caught up with them.

"Old Six, where is Jiang Yi?" Dao Leng's divine senses scanned the area and locked in on the magnificent-looking elder before he sent the voice transmission.

The elder immediately became ashamed and guilty. He stopped flying and waited for Dao Nù and Dao Leng to catch up. Then, he got down on one knee and reported, "Family Head, Chief Leng, we deserve the death penalty. We could not stop Jiang Yi. What's more… Young Master Dao Ren has been taken hostage by him. Old Thirteen and the others have also been killed by Jiang Yi."

"What?"

Dao Nù and Dao Leng's expressions changed at once as their bodies overflowed with killing intent that filled the skies. Dao Nù roared in fury, "Jiang Yi, if I don't kill you today, I—Dao Nù—will cease to be a human! Ah, ah!"

His roar had been amplified by his heavenly powers. It echoed throughout thousands of kilometers, reverberating continuously.
