Chapter 1672: Jiang Wuming

Although it was very dangerous, no one gave up. They soon found a trick to it.

As long as they entered the light shield, the worms would not pursue them. Furthermore, the worms' speed was not that fast. As long as they were careful not to be struck by the ink-green fluid, they would not die.

Everyone got together to discuss, and they decided to form two big groups. One person looked for Jiang Yi; however, as Jiang Yi was still hesitating, he rejected the offer to join.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi took out a supreme-grade battle armor as he started to refine it. Since he did not dare to use his Heavenly Wind Armor, he could only use this one for now. He had sensed very clearly that the ink-green fluid could destroy supreme-grade battle armor; however, it would not immediately corrode and kill people.

Many people looked as Jiang Yi refined a supreme-grade armor, and some of their eyes flashed with a silver of greed. However, no one went to steal it from him. It was but a supreme-grade battle armor after all. If Jiang Yi took out a Primitive Spiritual Treasure, probably some people would start to plot against him.

The two teams started to act in unison. Some flew out to lure the worms over, and once the worms came in pursuit, they would immediately enter the light shield while the other group would rush out and attack the worms. Whether they could kill the worms or not, they would then retreat hurriedly. One the worms lost their target, they couldn't attack anymore; the first group could rotate out once more.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This method was very effective; worm after worm was severely hurt and then killed. Worm dantians also fell one by one, and no one dared to retrieve them yet as they all continued their assault.

"Ah—"

Almost one hour later, someone finally met his end. One person had flown out and—after attacking for a while and for some reason—didn't know how to return as he was enveloped by the ink-green fluid. His body was corroded as he melted at a frightening speed; only his bones were left.

"What is happening?"

That person had joined many rounds of attacks previously; this had never happened before. Everyone else grew cautious. However, in another fifteen minutes, another five men suddenly grew dumb and didn't know how to retreat again and were immediately corroded and only their bones were left.

"This isn't right!"

One Titled God Thearch suddenly understood as he cried out, "Everyone, don't go out first. These worms' Netherworld Aura is rather strange; it is stealthily affecting our soul spirits. Take some time to look through your bodies and dispel the Netherworld Aura from your soul spirits. If not, more people would die."

Everyone came to their senses as they all sat cross-legged and observed their soul spirits. Alas, they found that a sliver of Netherworld Aura was lingering faintly within their soul spirits. This Netherworld Aura had somehow managed to enter their soul spirits; no wonder those men had died not even knowing how.

"I can't dispel it..."

One person sat cross-legged for a while as his eyes opened, and he exclaimed, "This is not ordinary Netherworld Aura; I cannot dispel it in a short amount of time. If this continues, could we complete this test in time?"

Some people opened their eyes as they nodded. This Netherworld Aura was different from the ones they had encountered before. This one was very sneaky and evasive.

If they had to take so long to dispel the Netherworld Aura after fighting for a short while—besides the few Titled God Thearchs, no one else would be able to complete the test. Since there was Netherworld Aura within their soul spirits while there was a chance they could get demonized, they could also die easily if they headed out.

"I can help you guys to dispel the Netherworld Aura!"

One voice rang out. Everyone turned and swept their gazes at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi raised his reddish, ugly face as he said, "However, you guys have to give me a hundred thousand dantians to finish the test. Also, I will not go out to battle but will only be responsible for dispelling the Netherworld Aura."

"You are certain you can?"

One Titled God Thearch looked over and said coldly, "As long as you can dispel it, your terms can be met."

Swish!

Jiang Yi flew over as he placed a hand on that Titled God Thearch's back. A black light flashed in his hand as a Xiaozhuan character entered that Titled God Thearch's body. The latter instinctively grew wary as a light formed in his hand as he was prepared to kill Jiang Yi.

"You don't believe me?"

Jiang Yi stopped his Xiaozhuan character from moving as his eyes met the Titled God Thearch's as he said, "If I kill you, that would not do me any good. Your companions are here; if I fool around, they can kill me any time."

"En!"

That Titled God Thearch nodded. Jiang Yi was only at the God Thearch Realm while he had a few companions that could easily kill Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi slowly controlled that Xiaozhuan character to head towards the Titled God Thearch's soul spirit. After spinning about one round inside, he then controlled the Xiaozhuan character to leave that Titled God Thearch.

"En?"

That Titled God Thearch's eyes lit up as he looked at Jiang Yi quickly, his eyes full of greed. Jiang Yi's Xiaozhuan characters were so mystical; the Titled God Thearch had taken so long to dispel just a sliver of the Netherworld Aura while Jiang Yi had managed to completely cleanse his soul spirit in just one round.

That's right; it was cleansed and not just dispelled; those were two different things!

However, that greed soon disappeared. That Titled God Thearch laughed out loud as he said, "This lad is rather ingenious. Alright, I agree to your condition. My name is Zhang Danian, what is yours?"

"Jiang Wuming!"

Jiang Yi could not use He Da's name anymore as he casually threw out a name. The Titled God Thearch nodded and said, "Brother Jiang, your name is rather special; hurry up and help my brothers dispel the Netherworld Aura inside them."

Jiang Yi cleansed all the Titled God Thearch's companions of their Netherworld Aura; this troop here had sixty-odd members while five were Titled God Thearchs. Jiang Yi walked about in a circle as everyone no longer had any reservations and started attacking once again.

The other team of people looked over; Jiang Yi was not a benevolent Bodhisattva. Few people knew about the Xiaozhuan characters, and he was very secretive with them. He had decided to reveal them because he didn't want to have to use his other formidable techniques and wanted others to help him complete his test.

"Brother Jiang!"

One Titled God Thearch from the other team walked over as he asked affectionately, "Could you help us as well? How about we give you thirty thousand of the worm dantians we receive?"

The other Titled God Thearch Zhang Danian looked over but didn't say anything. It was Jiang Yi's business who he wanted to help. If he agreed, that meant that Zhang Danian and company could give Jiang Yi thirty thousand worm dantians less.

"This..."

Jiang Yi hesitated for a while. Everyone in this other group all looked over as if their hearts had stopped beating for a moment. If Jiang Yi did not help them, probably most of them would not be able to complete the test.

Jiang Yi continued to hesitate for a few minutes. He finally looked over at the tens of pairs of eyes as he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll help you guys once!"

"Many thanks, Brother Jiang!"

Many looked as if a heavy burden had been released from their shoulders. Although Jiang Yi's face looked very ugly—at this moment, everyone felt that he was exceptionally good to look at and had some affection for him.

With Jiang Yi's help, the battle soon started once again. Everyone let loose all their attacks and techniques without caring for the Netherworld Aura. Every once in a while, Jiang Yi would help everyone to clean their Netherworld Aura; the battle proceeded very proficiently. The worms were being killed one by one. At this speed—in half a day at most, everyone would be able to accumulate enough worm dantians.

"Alright, we have enough!"

However, after a while, a few Titled God Thearchs went down and retrieved the worm dantians to distribute. Jiang Yi easily collected a hundred thousand worm dantians as he turned and was about to head to the Teleportation Formation.

Everyone was stunned. Without Jiang Yi—though the other Titled God Thearchs might be able to complete the mission, most of the rest would probably not be able to. They might even die here as well.

"Don't, Brother Jiang!"

One group of men grew anxious as they frantically flew over to block Jiang Yi, begging at him and trying to curry favor with him. Some even took out treasures and divine roots, pleading for his assistance.

"Alright, I'll help everyone to finish the test; then, we'll head back together," Jiang Yi 'begrudgingly' replied without accepting any divine roots and treasures.

Jiang Yi wasn't one to kick someone to the curb when they've outlived their usefulness; he hadn't really thought of leaving. People often did not treasure what came easy to them. He figured that if he pretended to leave and then relented to help this group of men—when they entered the Nine Yang Army together and encountered any trouble, these people would probably remember his kindness and render their aid.
