Chapter 1497: This Babe is so Strong

Ka-ka-ka! Wu-wu! Jek-jek!

All the Netherworld Race beings in this valley had probably been activated as wave after wave of strange cries traveled from the black fog ahead, and waves of powerful auras surged forward. Jiang Yi had long retreated to let the formidable martial artists in front of him block the Netherworld Race beings' auras. Jiang Yi was still too weak and could not fight a Netherworld General head-on.

"He! He!"

Six Titled Battle Gods from the Fire Phoenix Army rushed up to the front as they released their auras and blocked those of the Netherworld Generals'. Qi Qingchen also shot forward as she stood on the front lines. Her silver battle armor radiated a hundred thousand feet as a mountainous aura was released from her body; it made Jiang Yi and company feel much relaxed.

"Long-range attacks!"

Qi Qingchen shouted out loud as she pointed her flexible sword forward, and a streak of shooting stars flashed and pierced into the black fog ahead. This streak then exploded violently and dispersed the black fog. It also blasted two skeletal giants a thousand feet backward while the Netherworld Envoys were blown into bits; Qi Qingchen's attack was horrifying.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

All the more-than-a-hundred soldiers started their long-ranged attacks as all types of shooting stars shot forward and illuminated the dark valley brightly. The black fog and the swarms of Netherworld Realm forces were blasted backward as well. However, at such a far distance, besides Qi Qingchen's attack; the attacks from everyone else did not have much of an effect on the Netherworld Generals. They had just been slightly injured.

"Jiang Yi, go in front of me and release the burning flames!"

Qi Qingchen once again shouted as Jiang Yi was momentarily stunned but swiftly flew forward. He stood in front of Qi Qingchen as one of his hands kept on summoning the burning flames to come forward. At the same time, his other hand was placed on Qi Qingchen's back as he injected a streak of Fire Spirit Pearl's energy into Qi Qingchen.

"Uh..."

It was not sure whether it was the bodily contact or the unknown energy that Jiang Yi was injecting into Qi Qingchen; Qi Qingchen was actually so taken aback that she was stunned for a moment. Jiang Yi shot her a look as he flew back and sent a voice transmission: "What are you in a daze about? The Netherworld Generals are coming... I will retreat first."

After Qi Qingchen woke up, her flexible soft sword started to dance frantically as whirlwinds were summoned forth and propelled the burning flames into where the Netherworld Realm beings were at. At that moment, the entire sky was filled with burning flames; and the terrifying temperature engulfed the Netherworld Envoys flying forward. Some low-grade Netherworld Envoys were instantly turned into ash while a-dozen-odd Devilish Charm Beasts' figures had also become visible.

"Kill—"

Qi Qingchen roared as she shot forward like a breeze and into the approaching Netherworld Realm army. At least thirty to forty skeletal giants and many Devilish Charm Beasts were among the Netherworld Realm army's ranks; Qi Qingchen had actually rushed forward like that.

"Kill!"

The six Titled Battle Gods followed closely behind. These were all Qi Clan formidable martial artists and were all afraid that something might happen to Qi Qingchen. The remaining formidable martial artists also swiftly followed behind as a close-quarter battle broke out. Long-ranged attacks were not effective; the only way to kill these Netherworld Generals was to do it up-close.

Poison Spirit brought Jiang Yi along with one hand and Di Ling'er with the other as he took up the rear position. Poison Spirit's battle strength was actually very powerful. However, without an order from Jiang Yi, Poison Spirit was not going to attack. Poison Spirit also knew that when it came to killing Netherworld Generals; Jiang Yi was more useful than him.

Poison Spirit brought the two as he twisted and turned about the battlefield as Jiang Yi controlled his Xiaozhuan characters to assist in the battle and to also rescue those who had been affected by the Netherworld Aura. Di Ling'er's battle strength was too weak. Although she had long been gifted with a title, she did not dare to attack at all, fearing that she would harm the human soldiers instead. She only held onto her seal stone as she recorded the battles going on around her.

A-hundred-odd humans on one side and a more-than-hundred-thousand-strong Netherworld Realm army on the other side. The Netherworld Realm army also had seventy to eighty Netherworld Generals, and it seemed as if they had the upper-hand. However, the Netherworld Realm army was being hard-pressed as soon, the Fire Phoenix Army actually managed to not only stabilize the situation but also slowly gain the upper hand.

"Damn it! This babe is so strong!"

They had gotten the upper hand so quickly because of Qi Qingchen. She—on her own—had attracted most of the Netherworld Generals' attention; the majority of the soldiers had it a lot easier. Jiang Yi took a few looks and was lost for words. Qi Qingchen was probably a master of wind-elemental laws. Her body was like a cool breeze, and whenever it seemed like she was going to be hit, she would float to one side at the last moment. Qi Qingchen repeatedly narrowly escaped the attacks from the Netherworld Generals.

"Eh?"

After Jiang Yi helped yet another formidable martial artist in cleansing his Netherworld Aura, he took a few looks at Qi Qingchen again and realized something: Qi Qingchen's eyes were constantly flashing with light. Whenever some Netherworld Generals wanted to attack her, their bodies would shiver and pause for a moment. That was how she had managed to escape so many times.

"Netherworld Generals can actually be affected by soul spirit attacks?"

Jiang Yi blinked as he was a little confused. Weren't Netherworld Realm beings dead? Why could soul spirit attacks work?

Jiang Yi saw as every time Qi Qingchen's flexible sword waved, she could definitely slice through a Netherworld General and was amazed. It seemed like this red, flexible sword was not an ordinary item. It was either a Primitive Spiritual Treasure or a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure.

Qi Qingchen was too powerful. After charging into the Netherworld Realm army's midst alone—within tens of seconds, she had already killed more than twenty high-grade Netherworld Generals. After the battle had been stabilized and she killed yet another Devilish Charm Beast, she suddenly floated backward and said, "You guys, take over for a while!"

Once Qi Qingchen retreated, everyone instantly felt the battle getting much harder; some were instantly injured. Qi Qingchen shot like a breeze near Jiang Yi as she said, "Help me to dispel the Netherworld Aura; I have been hit."

"Alright!"

Jiang Yi did not dare to be careless. Qi Qingchen was their main anchor of strength; if she was not able to fight, the amount of death and wounded would rise exponentially. Jiang Yi controlled a few Xiaozhuan characters to fly into Qi Qingchen's glabellum as they spun a round in her soul spirit. After that, Qi Qingchen flew forward again and rejoined the battle.

After Qi Qingchen reentered the fray, the battle was stabilized once again. She only had to attack once before most Netherworld Generals were drawn to her once again. The formidable martial artists' jobs also became much easier with her there. Those that were injured hurriedly retreated. Since the battle was more or less stabilized—if they didn't need to die, they didn't want to as well.

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi asked a few injured soldiers to recuperate at one side and to take care of Di Ling'er. He and Poison Spirit then went forward to assist in the battle. As his Xiaozhuan characters came flying out and striking the Netherworld Generals, their Netherworld Aura would be cleansed speedily. Without the Netherworld Aura, the Netherworld Generals' battle strength was much depleted and became much easier to kill.

Fifteen minutes!

Within fifteen minutes, all the Netherworld Generals had been killed while not even one human had perished. Only forty-odd soldiers had been injured.

The remaining Netherworld Envoys were like lambs to the Battle-God-and-above Fire Phoenix Army soldiers. Qi Qingchen also returned and once again asked Jiang Yi to cleanse her body and soul spirit of the Netherworld Aura. However, after the Xiaozhuan characters left her body, her expression changed; and she looked rather uncomfortable.

Jiang Yi did not understand why; he was also a little confused.

However, Di Ling'er—at the side—did. She had this same feeling the first time Jiang Yi had helped her to expel the Netherworld Aura. They were unmarried virgins that haven't even held a man's hand before; Jiang Yi's Xiaozhuan characters had actually coursed through their entire bodies. Naturally, they felt as if their entire selves had been touched by Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi ignored Qi Qingchen. After helping her cleanse the Netherworld Aura in her, he went forward to help all the Fire Phoenix Army soldiers. After everyone had been cleansed, the mopping-up operation was also more or less done. Jiang Yi then raised his query, "General, I saw that you had been using soul spirit attacks on the Netherworld Generals. Aren't these Netherworld Generals dead? Why...?"

Qi Qingchen rolled her eyes; she was completely defeated by Jiang Yi. She said exasperatedly, "Have you seen dead creatures who could talk? Have you seen dead beings who could control Netherworld Slaves? Have you met dead things who knew battle tactics? The Netherworld Generals and Netherworld Envoys were both Netherworld Realm beings; however, they are not dead. They are only monsters that the Netherworld Realm has bred and nurtured; they are not dead! Your intelligence is really... I wonder why the Earth Emanations Sovereign values you so much."

"They have soul spirits?"

Jiang Yi was shaken. He did not mind Qi Qingchen's mocking tone and expression; his eyes suddenly grew glazed. If these monsters had soul spirits, wouldn't his Divine Sound Heaven Skill be useful?

If it could be, then Jiang Yi would be able to withstand a million Netherworld Realm beings at once!
