"Everyone, be on your guard. The people inside will be teleported out anytime now!"
"Everyone, focus all your energy on your Mercury Stones and on creating Spatial Zone Turbulence!"
"Listen up! Once Jiang Yi gets out, inform everyone else at once. We will fight to the death to stop him. Even if we die in battle, our names will be honored for decades to come."
"Brothers, the Clan Head said that whoever manages to kill Jiang Yi will be rewarded with three Primitive Spiritual Treasures. The Lord of the Dao Clan said this himself."
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Five hundred thousand kilometers from the Demon-Killing Palace, countless people were shouting at one another. Five hundred or so people formed multiple barriers at a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius from the palace itself. Everybody had Mercury Stones in their hands and was channeling their energy to create Spatial Zone Turbulence. The moment Jiang Yi emerged from the palace, they were sure to notice him."
Time slowly passed. The atmosphere became tenser by the minute. Countless people were fixing their unblinking gazes on their surroundings. Even the slightest breeze managed to catch their attention.
Buzz!
Two hours later, the Demon-Killing Palace suddenly lit up with a bright light. Then, a huge crack tore open the air around them. The Demon-Killing Palace flew into the crack and disappeared. The guardians outside the palace shouted, "Time is up! Immediately tell your soldiers to look for Jiang Yi!"
Before anyone could send any messages, a few people's messaging jade talismans lit up. Someone took one glance at his own jade talisman and shouted joyously, "We found Jiang Yi! He's near Ling Ding Island and is heading towards the north!"
"Kill—"
A few King-Ranked martial artists roared and charged towards the north as fast as they could. At the same time, countless other messaging jade talismans lit up as well. All the formidable martial artists fifty kilometers away received the update, too. They all headed towards Ling Ding Island in the north at once.
The formidable martial artists of the Dao Clan and many other clans from the Heaven Domain, as well as the formidable martial artists from the four great clans of Chaos Sea, were all beyond excited. As long as they could hold him for two to four hours, they would be able to heavily surround Jiang Yi. How many people would he be able to kill then? Where could he run to?
Once news reached Dao Leng who was in the Ethereal Spirit Island, he did not move. He still thought that as long as he remained in Ethereal Spirit Island, Jiang Yi would be like a trapped fish. No matter how he tried to run, he would not be able to get out of Chaos Island. He would perish sooner or later.
...
It was becoming very crowded at Ling Ding Island. Jiang Yi and his companions had just teleported out when they were discovered at once. Thousands of people from all directions charged towards them either attacking them or obstructing them. They also made use of their messaging jade talisman and shouted, so that more and more people rushed towards them.
Buzz!
At a time like this, there was not much to be said. Jiang Yi immediately retrieved his Chaos Essence Pearl and sent Qi Qingchen and the Poison Spirit in. Qi Qingchen and the Poison Spirit did not resist this. After all, neither of them was confident enough to break through the surrounding army. Even if they split up from Jiang Yi and asked him to lure the crowd away, they would not be able to escape. Their only hope now was to hope that Jiang Yi would be able to help them break out.
"Mummy, come out!"
Jiang Yi shouted, causing a huge mummy to appear in midair. He flew up and stood on the mummy's shoulder, focusing his Power of Heaven and Earth on the mummy and steering it forward like a dart. Jiang Yi roared, "Kill! Anyone who obstructs me shall die!"
Swish!
The mummy turned into a phantom as it advanced forward. Jiang Yi kept feeding it with the Power of Heaven and Earth, so that the mummy's aura threatened to explode. In front of them, a group of God Thearchs was blocking the way. Jiang Yi did not even have to work to get rid of people of that cultivation level. The mummy rushed straight towards them and knocked more than ten of them out of the way. In fact, Jiang Yi would not have had time to attack even if he wanted to.
Ss, ss...
Countless people sucked in a deep breath. The mummy was moving too fast. Together with the thick cloud that surrounded it, many people could not even make the mummy out from afar. All they could see was a huge, ghostly figure that resembled a Godfiend charging towards them.
"What is this?"
"Stop it, stop it! Attack, quick! Attack!"
All around, people were flying into panic. Many people dealt attacks at the mummy at random. The entire sky filled with streams of light, but the mummy was moving too quickly. Many streams of light not only missed the mummy but mistakenly hit their fellow soldiers. A few streams of light shot towards Jiang Yi, but the mummy turned and used its own body and arm to defend him. Jiang Yi maintained a death-like grip on the mummy's hair, emerging unscathed from the battle.
Swish!
In just a few seconds, the mummy had advanced fifty kilometers. It broke through the barrier of a thousand people, but not long after they emerged, an angry voice shouted at them from afar. "Jiang Yi, where are you running to?"
King-Ranked martial artist?
This was the first King-Ranked martial artist who Jiang Yi met. His expression turned somber. He no longer dared to stand on the mummy's shoulder. Instead, he descended and jumped into the mummy's hand. Then, he made the mummy grab onto his own two legs. Closing his eyes, Jiang Yi entered into the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and tried to get a good sense of his surroundings.
"He!"
From afar, one of the King-Ranked elders rushed towards him. He was still several kilometers away when he thrust his palm forward harshly and charged at the mummy's huge body.
"Move!"
With a single hand, Jiang Yi kept channeling the Power of Heaven and Earth into the mummy's body. The mummy turned and easily dodged the attack. Then, it charged at the King-Ranked martial artist.
The distance between both parties was closing up rapidly. The King-Ranked martial artist kept thrusting his hand out towards Jiang Yi and the mummy while the mummy kept ducking left and right, easily dodging the attacks. He was moving extremely quickly.
"Jiang Yi, die—!"
From hundreds of meters away, the King-Ranked finally spotted Jiang Yi in the palm of the mummy's hand. A long sword appeared in his hand, and he waved it around, creating countless sword images in the sky. He aimed at the mummy's left hand and dealt a harsh blow.
"You must be tired of living!"
Jiang Yi's closed eyes suddenly opened wide. His other hand thrust outwards, summoning the Thousand Illusory Hands and activating his six-colored burning flames.
"Ah?"
At that moment, the King-Ranked martial artist saw handprints everywhere he looked. What's more, every single palm seemed to be spraying fire. There were terrifying flames in every direction, causing him to lose his bearings. What's more, he felt like there was no way he could escape these flames. Anywhere he went, he would be consumed by them and reduced to ash.
"No way... this is just an illusion. There are only real flames in front. Ah!"
By the time he came back to reality, Jiang Yi's real flames had already touched his body. The terrifyingly high temperatures caused the blood in his veins to boil. His heavenly powers were messed up, and unbelievable pain surged throughout his body. All he could do was cry out in anguish!
Crack!
The glowing green hand of the mummy struck him, easily breaking all the bones in his body. His body became a mess of blood and flesh. This King-Ranked martial artist only belonged to one of the four great clans of the Chaos Sea. All he had to protect his body was a supreme-grade battle armor. Of course, it could not withstand the blow.
"Ah, ah!"
The exceedingly high temperature caused many martial artists in the surroundings to retreat as fast as they could. Some people were nevertheless burned by the flames, and they fell down to the ground, writhing in pain. The thick clouds around them all evaporated thanks to the flames. Many people saw very clearly how the mummy's hand struck the King-Ranked martial artist, causing him to become a mess of flesh and blood and be left behind in pieces.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The God Thearchs nearby who wanted to charge at Jiang Yi all went pale. They halted in midair, not daring to get any closer. Even the people obstructing him split up to open a pathway for the mummy to pass through.
The mummy could kill even a King-Ranked martial artist with a single strike of his hand. Killing the rest of them would be akin to killing a bunch of ants to the mummy. Nobody wanted to die. If they had a chance of fighting, they would go for it. However, from the looks of the situation, continuing to fight would only be jumping into the grave.
"Send a message for me!"
The mummy had already disappeared into the clouds when Jiang Yi's cold voice echoed throughout the surroundings. "Tell the four great clans of Chaos Sea that I—Jiang Yi—do not wish for them to become my enemies. Ask them to know their limit! I—Jiang Yi—dared to kill even Dao Feng. If the four great clans continue to fight me to the end, don't blame me for turning the Chaos Sea into a sea of blood..."
