Chapter 1654: Lion Dragon Army

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yi thought at first that he would be sent straight to the Dao Clan's base camp if he used the Divine Escape Talisman. Didn't the Dao Clan have three Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists? If this was their base camp, there would at least be one of those Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists around if not both, right?

He thought that he would die for sure, but he did not expect to be sent to this little mountain. There were so few people here, too. Since there were only three King-Ranked martial artists, why did he have to hold back?

Nobody wanted to die. If he had the chance to, of course he would run.

Actually, Jiang Yi did not know this: no clan would have made their base camp the destination. If a Netherworld King obtained it, he would be able to infiltrate their base camp and wipe out their clansmen.

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi's move was akin to a stone being dropped into a quiet forest: Countless birds were alerted at once. The Dao Clan's main formidable martial artists flew out, killing intent emitting from their pores. The two King-Ranked elders rushed over as well.

However...

The moment they arrived, their expressions changed completely. Jiang Yi summoned the six-colored burning flames, causing the temperature of the surroundings to surge. In a blink of an eye, the entire mountain was enveloped in a heat wave. The God Thearchs behind Jiang Yi were severely burned so much that they could not even escape. All they could do was roll around on the ground, screaming in pain.

"How dare you?"

The King-Ranked martial artist in front of Jiang Yi was greatly angered by his move. A mere God Thearch was trying to attack him? The next moment, his eyes widened in shock. There were handprints everywhere he looked. He felt the frightening flames in every direction. The heavenly powers in his body were blocked, and he felt every inch of his skin heat up. Before he had time to react, a single glowing dark-green claw struck him. His entire body combusted into a cloud of blood.

"Old Eight!"

One of the elders, whose head was almost completely bald, cried out. He charged at Jiang Yi, outraged. The other middle-aged man shouted, "Eighth Uncle..."

"Ah—"

The screams and shouts kept echoing throughout the mountain. There were many God Kings and God Thearchs on the mountain; of course, none of them would be able to endure the high temperatures. One by one, they were severely burned. Many God Kings were even burned to death. The four or five people behind Jiang Yi were emitting black smoke now and were almost completely cooked through.

"Just before I teleported here, I told your clan's Dao Leng that I did not want to make a single one of you my enemy. He brought this upon all of you! Don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jiang Yi shouted in a cold tone. The mummy swept his leg, causing the four or five Titled God Thearchs behind him to combust into clouds of blood. Then, he steered the mummy to sprint forward as he roared, "If you don't want to die, get lost! Otherwise, you will die without question!"

More than ten thousand martial artists had been charging at him from all directions. Even the two King-Ranked martial artists were charging at him. Without any fear, Jiang Yi sprinted towards them as well. From the speed of these two King-Ranked martial artists, he guessed that they were not very strong. If they insisted on blocking his way, he would not hold back for sure.

The almost-bald elder seemed to have gone crazy. As he charged at Jiang Yi, a battle sword appeared in his hand. He aimed for Jiang Yi's head, not caring at all about the mummy behind Jiang Yi.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yi did not even move. Instead, he gritted his teeth and endured the blow. The mummy reached out its claw and caused the elder's head to explode with a single blow. The elder was obviously not considered important in the Dao Clan. He only had supreme-grade weapons and equipment. Why would Jiang Yi be afraid of him?

"Pfff..."

Even then, he was still injured by the elder's blow. However, this was no big deal to him. The divine tree leaf would heal him in seconds. When he saw figure after figure flying towards him from in front, he decided not to waste any more time. Six-colored burning flames shot out from his palms towards the figures.

"Ah!"

The last King-Ranked martial artist retreated in a panic. The others, however, were not so lucky. The tens of people who had been right in front caught fire immediately. The hundreds of people behind them suffered burn injuries and fell down from the sky. A few martial artists who were still hiding in the castles were also burned by the high temperature. At once, tens of castles collapsed, leaving debris everywhere.

"Let's go!"

Although this was not the Dao Clan's base camp, Jiang Yi guessed that they were not far from the actual base camp. Jiang Yi knew he had to escape immediately and find somewhere else to hide, or the Dao Clan's army would arrive before he had the chance.

Swish!

The mummy continued to sprint forward, easily running from the mountain peak to the horizon.

At that moment, another army headed towards them. Scanning the group, Jiang Yi guessed that there were a least a hundred thousand people. These hundred thousand people were all riding weird beasts, which did not look that big. Each of the beasts measured about three meters long, but their entire bodies were covered in armors of scales, which resembled blue battle armors. Their heads looked like lions, and their bodies looked like dragons. Their eyes glinted continuously. Just one look caused fear to rise in Jiang Yi's gut.

"Ninth Elder, quick, stop this man! My father and Eighth Uncle were both killed by him..." The last King-Ranked martial artist on the mountain saw the hundred-thousand-strong army and immediately screamed urgently and agitatedly, without stopping.

These hundred thousand people formed the Lion Dragon Army of the Dao Clan. Ordinarily, they patrolled the area within a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius of where Jiang Yi was. They must have just been nearby when they heard the commotion and rushed over.

"Five King-Ranked martial artists? Ooh... that elder's aura is very powerful."

Jiang Yi's eyes lit up as his heart began to race. If he got stopped by this army, the Dao Clan's Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists would probably arrive shortly. Then, the chances of him dying would be extremely high.

"Charge..."

He roared. He had no choice but to fight to the death. He had to break out of the surrounding hundred-thousand-strong army and kill at least two of the five King-Ranked martial artists. Only then would the survivors be terrorized, and only then would he be able to break through the army and find somewhere to hide.

"Heavenly Wind Armor? Mummy?"

The leader of the Lion Dragon Army was an ugly, strong, middle-aged man. He caught sight of the Heavenly Wind Armor on Jiang Yi's body, as well as the mummy behind him. At once, he was sure of who Jiang Yi was. He shouted, "Someone, send a message to the Family Head! Everyone else, attack!"

Swish!

One command from the Ninth Elder sent all hundred thousand soldiers into action. A hundred thousand streams of light flew out, lighting up half of the sky. A terrifying aura enveloped the mountain. At that moment, Jiang Yi felt like he was seated on a small boat, trying to make it through a raging sea.

"Fight!"

At a time like this, how could Jiang Yi continue running?

The hundred thousand streams of light were extremely loud and formidable. Jiang Yi guessed that more formidable martial artists would be attracted to where they were. If he failed to break through the surrounding army, he would not get another chance to escape.

"Mummy, hang in there!"

He steered the mummy, making it turn around, and used its back to block Jiang Yi from the hundred thousand streams of light. At the same time, he bent the mummy's body so that the mummy flew downward instead.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The hundred thousand streams of light had locked in on Jiang Yi's mummy. Since they were not far from the mummy in the first place—no matter how fast the mummy moved, it could not dodge the attacks. At the very least, more than a thousand streams of light hit its back continuously.

Bang, bang, bang!

The mummy's defense was extremely strong. Even Dao Leng's attack only caused it to sustain a superficial wound. None of its bones were even broken. How would these people's attacks cause any damage?

Nevertheless, a patch of skin got blasted off the mummy's back. There was not a square-inch of the mummy's back that was not hurt. Jiang Yi—who was being protected by the mummy's arms—could not withstand the terrifying impact and ended coughing up blood. He was more seriously injured now.

The mummy made a curve below and then burst upward. In a single move, it rushed into the army. The army was almost entirely made up of God Thearchs and Titled God Thearchs.

However, their reaction speeds could not match the mummy's speed. Many people's attacks hit thin air instead of the mummy. A small fraction of the attacks hit the mummy and Jiang Yi, but they could not stop their momentum.

"Kill—"

Like a ferocious tiger charging into a group of lamb, Jiang Yi roared. Since he had the Heavenly Wind Armor on, these God Thearchs and Titled God Thearchs' attacks could not kill him. Without any reservations, he dealt his blow. No matter whether he died today or not, he had made up his mind to drag as many people from the Dao Clan down with him as he could!
