Chapter 1570: I have been Tricked!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yi had not gotten near when countless soldiers started to fly out from within the Divine Yang Valley; they were all wearing white battle armor. Many of them were also wearing medial-grade battle armor. The Divine Yang Race lived up to its reputation of once almost dominating the entire Earth Domain; its resources were abundant and its riches long-lasting.
Hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings flew silently, just like hundreds of thousands of battle machines. Jiang Yi stood among them and was very striking. His red hair flayed as his eyes were bloodshot. As the Sword Emanations Race beings' eyes were also bloodshot, it made Jiang Yi seem like the king of demons, leading an army of Netherworld Realm beings to exterminate all living things.
Swish!
You Tianni led a few hundred Titled God Thearchs and shot forward from within the Divine Yang Valley. All the formidable martial artists in the Divine Yang Race were now gathered. You Tianni's face was filled with astonishment while Ren Tianfan next to him was filled with hatred.
Ren Tianfan actually had not gotten back much earlier; he had only been five minutes faster than Jiang Yi and company. He had just entered the Divine Yang Valley when from that small city, word had spread of a mysterious formidable martial artist attacking, and that he was from the Ink Feather Race.
Ren Tianfan did not expect Little Eagle King and Jiang Yi to pursue them all the way to the Divine Yang Mystic Realm. After all, not anyone could tear space and possessed a Chaos Divine Boat while knowing that the Divine Yang Mystic Realm was nearby.
You Tianni also did not think that Jiang Yi had come; he thought that Little Eagle King was here alone. When the two received the news, they immediately gathered all the formidable martial artists in the Divine Yang Mystic Realm to prepare for battle.
There was a Teleportation Formation in the mystic realm that could lead straight to the Demon-Buster Valley.
However, teleporting to the Demon-Buster Valley required many hours; if the Teleportation Formation was destroyed during teleportation, those using it would be destroyed by the twisting and bending of the spatial zone. Hence, Ren Tianfan did not dare to teleport away. Most importantly, You Tianni did not want to leave. To him, it didn't matter if it was Little Eagle King or Jiang Yi who came; as long as anyone dared to enter the Divine Yang Valley and stir trouble, he was confident that that person would not be able to leave this place alive!
A huge array was laid beneath the Divine Yang Valley, one that was very terrifying. Based on this huge array, You Tianni was confident that he could eliminate the Little Eagle King or Jiang Yi!
Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yi grew closer to the Divine Yang Valley; he completely ignored the millions of soldiers in midair as his gaze was fixated on You Tianni and Ren Tianfan. His eyes were blood-red, and his killing aura surged. The killing aura from hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings emanated forward, making many God King soldiers feel an icy-chill enveloping them.
Just outside the Divine Yang Valley, Jiang Yi brought his Sword Emanations Race beings to a halt. He glanced at the faces of the Divine Yang Race soldiers who were standing anxiously in midair as he shouted, "Today's matter is a grudge between me and You Tianni and Ren Tianfan; I do not wish to kill too many people; those who do not wish to die, scram."
Not a single person moved; no one left!
You Tianni was from the You Clan royal family. If Jiang Yi wanted to kill You Tianni, he was the entire Divine Yang Race's enemy. How could everyone be frightened into retreat by Jiang Yi's words? You Tianni looked at Jiang Yi venomously as he exclaimed, "Jiang Yi, you seem to have many lives; you managed to live after staying in the Purgatory Mystic Realm for twenty days? However, since you dared to come all the way to the Divine Yang Mystic Realm, no one can rescue you today."
After speaking, You Tianni gestured as a few formidable martial artists flew forward. Each one of them held onto a person's neck; these hostages were Di Ling'er, Yi Chan, and the other two ladies. The four were still unconscious as their captives held onto daggers in their hands, pointed at the hostages' brains. As long as they moved a little, four brains would be blasted in an instant.
"Keke!"
You Tianni smiled ghastly as he said, "Jiang Yi, you have two options. You can either destroy your own divine core, or I will kill the four of them in front of you, one by one. The choice is yours!"
Clang-clang!
A stream of guqin music responded to You Tianni's words. Jiang Yi played on his guqin with both hands as he unleashed his divine sound laws. He wasn't an idiot; if he destroyed his own divine core, Yi Chan and company would still die. He could only try desperately to fight as he used his guqin music to affect the entire Divine Yang Race army. He then ordered the Sword Emanations King to charge forward and rescue the hostages.
"Sword Emanations King, attack!"
He roared as Sword Emanations King soared forward as a streak of light. Hundreds of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings moved in unison as Jiang Yi also sprang into action. However, he was being brought along by the Sword Emanations Race beings, with tens of them forming a floating seat for him to rest on.
As he was very close to the soldiers now, his guqin music's power was amplified. Ren Tianfan was very strong; Jiang Yi was afraid that once Ren Tianfan regained consciousness, he would immediately try to harm Yi Chan and company. Hence, he could only move together with the Sword Emanations Race beings.
The divine sound laws did not disappoint Jiang Yi. Everyone's eyes became dazed and filled with terror; everyone had been affected by the guqin music. Jiang Yi was elated! Only a short distance was left before he reached the hostages; once Sword Emanations King managed to pierce through the enemy lines, victory would be his!
Bang, bang, bang!
The Sword Emanations King was unstoppable as he pierced through the enemy ranks transformed as a red light. Its two huge swords waved as he sliced through the Divine Yang Race army as if hacking watermelons. It easily cut through a path and flew directly at You Tianni.
That's right!
Jiang Yi had suddenly changed his plan. He did not ask Sword Emanations King to rescue the hostages, but to take down You Tianni. As long as he managed to hold You Tianni hostage, both sides would have chips in their hands; Yi Chan and company's safety could then be assured.
Ring, ring, ring!
The Sword Emanations Race beings army hurriedly followed along, killing Divine Yang Race troops as they went. Although medial-grade divine artifact battle armor was quite decent, it was still insufficient to withstand the sharp blades of the Sword Emanations Race beings.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Jiang Yi did not bother with the low-grade soldiers; his gaze was fixated on Sword Emanations King who was speedily piercing through enemy lines. Jiang Yi continued to play on the guqin manically as the baneful aura from the guqin soared forward. Many low-grade God Kings all fell to the ground as they cried out in pain and rolled about uncontrollably!
The Sword Emanations King was very deadly; within tens of seconds, it had cut through a path and pierced through the millions of soldiers. It had at least killed ten thousand ordinary soldiers as it shot straight at You Tianni like a sharp sword.
Behind it, Jiang Yi brought the Sword Emanations Race beings and rushed along, carving out a path within the Divine Yang Race army. He watched as Sword Emanations King grew closer and closer to You Tianni as his heart grew anxious, and he started to calculate the remaining distance.
Thirty kilometers, fifteen kilometers, ten kilometers... three kilometers!
"Something isn't right..."
Just as the Sword Emanations King was three kilometers from You Tianni, Jiang Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong. You Tianni's confused and terrified eyes suddenly became clear and lucid while Ren Tianfan next to him also regained consciousness at the same time. The duo was smirking at him.
Swish!
A streak of shooting stars was shot from Ren Tianfan's hand as it struck downwards. In an instant, there was a huge change from the surface.
Buzz!
In countless locations within the Divine Yang Valley, colorful light suddenly lit up. Once those lights lit up, they started to join together with one another and became a huge snake. Finally, that huge fire snake joined from head to tail and became a peculiar, huge array. An unknown aura started to emanate from the array as, in an instant, all those soldiers who had been influenced by the guqin music suddenly opened their eyes wide; their auras started to surge rapidly.
"This..."
Jiang Yi's divine senses swept over, and he was stunned. After this huge array had been activated, all the Divine Yang Race soldiers' strength had increased by much. The God Kings were now equivalent to God Thearchs while the God Thearchs were actually emanating auras similar to Ren Tianfan's. As for some Titled God Thearchs, their auras even rivaled that of Qi Qingchen's!
However, Ren Tianfan's aura had not been elevated while Jiang Yi had not been affected at all. This array seemed to only affect Divine Yang Race members; Ren Tianfan was after all only a henchman of the You Clan.
"I have been tricked!"
Jiang Yi finally understood. You Tianni and Ren Tianfan must have eaten some sort of elixir to strengthen their soul spirits; they had not been affected by his guqin music from the start and had been faking it. They wanted to lure him into the Divine Yang Valley and for him to fall into their trap willingly.
"Kill!"
You Tianni's hand gestured as countless formidable martial artists shot forward and flew towards Jiang Yi. Their soul spirits had now been strengthened, and many were no longer affected by the guqin music; they were extremely wild and ferocious.
Seeing Jiang Yi's look of utter shock and astonishment, You Tianni smiled as he murmured, "Jiang Yi, not even Qi Qingchen would be able to leave alive once she came here, much less you."
