Chapter 1012: This is a Set-Up
The Dwarf Race members were short, with the tallest being no more than three feet. This was what they felt most inferior about.
They could only look up at others all the time and were perpetually looked down upon by other races. They detested outsiders talking about their height. Their violent, cruel, lustful, and murderous nature was due to extremely low self-esteem which changed their personalities.
That Jiang Yi had not only made fun of their height publicly but also did so repeatedly infuriated Qiu Bai and his men. They almost started to attack. What astonished Jiang Yi and company was that Qiu Bai ultimately managed to control his rage. After raising his awls that were shining brightly, he then brought them down. Instead, Qiu Bai smiled and said, “Mo Xing, people who are too lofty often die easily. Who do you think you are? You are just someone who climbed up the ladder riding on Mo Yao’er’s coattails. You’re undoubtedly good at using your mouth, right? Did you make Mo Yao’er feel good? Oh… how does Mo Yao’er taste like? When her two butt cheeks move together, that must feel good, right?”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Mo Qi, Mo Fu, and company’s expression changed. They were furious. Qiu Bai had gone overboard. By publicly being disrespectful to Mo Yao’er, that was the greatest humiliation for the Heaven Devil Race. Mo Yao’er was also shaking with anger. The black whip in her hands was glowing with light. She was about to strike.
“Do not attack! The young clan head of Mammoth Race, the Phantom Race, and many other races are nearby. If we attack first, we would have been baited!”
Jiang Yi hurriedly said in a low voice. The Clan Head of the Dwarf Race and Mo Shen had reached an agreement in front of Sect Patriarch Cao. Neither was allowed to instigate any conflict. With so many witnesses present, whoever started the fight would lose the moral high ground. If that came to pass, the Heaven Devil Race could possibly be eliminated by the combined forces of the Dwarf Race, the Mammoth Race, and the Fire Chi Race.
Bang!
“You dare to malign the Sacred Lady. Go and die!”
Jiang Yi had not finished speaking, and yet—at that moment, there was a sudden explosion near Qiu Bai. A commander of the Heaven Devil Race had broken forth and roared with rage. His sharp claws swiped towards a member of the Dwarf Race. That dwarf commander was laughing out loud at the moment and did not have the ability to defend himself. The dwarf commander was easily split into pieces by the Heaven Devil Race commander. The latter immediately tunneled beneath the surface and disappeared.
“How dare you!”
Qiu Bai’s face changed as he roared, “Did everyone see that? The Heaven Devil Race made the first move. Dwarf Race! Capture all members of the Heaven Devil Race! I want them to answer to Sect Patriarch Cao!!”
“That’s right! I saw it myself. The Heaven Devil Race was being insolent and killed someone!”
At this moment from afar, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard. Groups of giants were approaching. Leading them was a giant wearing purple battle armor. He coldly said, “Your Heaven Devil Race is too much! Is the entire Snow Region under Heaven Devil Race’s control? Who said you all could kill anyone you wished? We, the Mammoth Race, will not accept that. Qiu Bai, do capture them. We will go and see Sect Patriarch Cao regarding this matter together.”
Swish! Swish!
From the east came a group of martial arts experts wearing red battle armor, nearing swiftly. Mo Yao’er glanced at them, and her eyes grew cold. She cried out, “The Fire Chi Race is here, too. This is a trap.”
“Understood…”
Jiang Yi’s face became serious. There were people from different races watching. These people were alibis, too. This matter could no longer be explained away. However, a thought suddenly entered his mind. He said, “That man wasn’t from Heaven Devil Race. The attacker just now wasn’t one of our commanders.”
“That’s right!”
Mo Qi swiftly realized the truth, too. He said, “No wonder I felt that I have not seen that man before. He was an impostor. This day has been a set-up through and through.”
“Then what should we do?”
Mo Yao’er was panicking. The experts from the three races had appeared. Just based on the few of them, could they kill their way out of the encirclement?
“It doesn’t matter!”
Jiang Yi laughed coldly. The murderous intent in his eyes was evident. He shouted, “Everyone, down. Prepare for battle!”
Swish! Swish!
Mo Yao’er was the most obedient while Mo Qi was afraid of Jiang Yi’s Icebound Thousand Miles. The three dove underground instantly. Jiang Yi did not release the Icebound Thousand Miles immediately. He sent a voice transmission to Mo Qi: “Pass a message to everyone. After I have attacked, everyone is to find and target the Dwarf Race. We have to capture Qiu Bai. If we can get back to Heaven Devil Mountain alive depends on him.”
After the voice transmission was over, Jiang Yi shouted coldly into the distance. “Qiu Bai, we—the Heaven Devil Race—do not wish to go against the agreement. Stop coming closer, or we would kill anyone that comes close.”
“Hmph!”
There was no way Qiu Bai would let go of such a good opportunity. He himself did not move closer. Around twenty of his men remained with him while the other twenty odd men were leading thousands of dwarfs forward and were fast approaching. He shouted, “Mo Xing, Mo Yao’er, everyone from the Heaven Devil Race, listen! Stop resisting immediately. We will not hurt anyone. This matter will be decided by Sect Patriarch Cao. Whoever dares to resist, I will have no choice but to take that person by force.”
Tsk! Tsk!
Countless dwarfs, with their bodies puffed out, started a ferocious attack on the surface. The surface melted into something like a wave and was surging. This was the Dwarf Race’s special ability that allowed them to fluctuate the spatial zone. Mo Yao’er and company were impeded from leaving now.
“If that is the case, we will have to fight to the death!”
Jiang Yi said angrily and started moving both his hands. The wind and clouds all around started to surge while the essence energy and the Power of Ice and Snow within a thousand miles flowed to him. In a blink of an eye, a cold current spread in all directions. Within the thousand-mile radius, a change visible to the naked eye could be seen. The area had become a world of ice. Everyone had been frozen.
“How dare you attack us! Everyone, let’s attack together and capture the people from Heaven Devil Race.”
A cold voice rang from the Fire Chi Race. Subsequently, numerous members of the Fire Chi Race raised both their hands and created streams of red light. They were shooting out flames that immediately raised the temperature of the surroundings; those who were frozen quickly became mobile again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The surface near Qiu Bai started to explode. Twenty odd men burst forth, hands filled with a chilling light. Someone also released a dao pattern attack. Mo Qi was leading the group, obviously targeting Qiu Bai, who had not been completely unfrozen yet.
“Hahaha. You want to take me down? You guys are too naive!”
Qiu Bai’s immobile body suddenly moved. The ancient artifact that he held, ‘Reliance Awl’, shined brightly. The mysterious patterns and runic patterns on it started to swirl. He leaped upwards, both awls withholding fearsome amounts of energy and slammed them on the surface.
Swish! Swish!
At the same time, the men around Qiu Bai also started moving. They all held red pearls, which were glowing with red light and were exceptionally warm. Their souls and bodies had long defrosted. They were waiting for the members of Heaven Devil Race to rush forward.
This is bad! The Dwarf Race came prepared. We fell for their trap.
Jiang Yi’s heart sank. The three races joining hands, someone impersonating a member of the Heaven Devil Race, and the presence of the fire pearls. Someone was obviously targeting his Icebound Thousand Miles, finding countermeasures. The person who planned this set-up had thought everything through.
He had once again made a fatal mistake. He had underestimated the enemy. He wanted to trap the Dwarf Race but ended up being tricked by someone else.
“Mo Qi, Mo Yao’er, do not continue this fight. Go beneath the ice surface. Hold out for one hour. Leave everything to me!”
Jiang Yi used his divine senses and sent a voice transmission to Mo Qi and Mo Yao’er. He himself, however, ran maniacally away. Given the situation, he had no choice but to give it his all and kill everyone present. If not, while he could possibly escape, Mo Yao’er and company would definitely be annihilated.
