Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

He was the first in the Wen Fight and second in the Wu Fight!

There were tens of thousands of huge and little domains in the Earth Domain, and there were countless formidable martial artists. Among them were a significant number of King-Ranked martial artists as well. It was just that not many people knew about things outside their own domain. Take the two guards guarding the Primitive Mystic Realm and Dao Heaven Mystic Realm for example. How terrifying were their skills? Nobody really knew. What’s more, a few King-Ranked martial artists loved to stay in hiding as well. Apart from those the great family clans, nobody knew where these martial artists were.

The hidden King-Ranked martial artists in the Earth Domain itself probably added up to more than ten. There were even a few weird talents, who had not achieved the King-Rank but possessed amazing mystical abilities. These talents were able to kill even King-Ranked martial artists. Therefore, calculating the exact number of people who had skills akin to King-Ranked martial artists was an impossible task.

One person, however, was a renowned formidable martial artist in the Earth Domain. If he said that he was second, nobody would dare to claim to be first!

That was the Green Eagle King. At that moment, a tall, strong man dressed in a green robe was charging towards Jiang Yi and company with overwhelming killing intent. The Green Eagle King and the Little Eagle King looked very alike. Both of them were handsome, and both of them looked proud and aggressive. If the Little Eagle King resembled a sharp, powerful sword; the Green Eagle King would resemble more of the king of eagles soaring in the sky.

His gaze was exactly like an eagle’s—cold and proud. He seemed to look at everyone with arrogance, causing others to feel like he was truly a high and mighty Eagle King, who could only be admired and worshiped… but not made an enemy of!

“Green Eagle King! Please, calm down!”

Di Ming and company gritted their teeth and shouted. One by one, they rushed forward. However, they did not dare to do anything but stand in front of the Green Eagle King with their heads bowed. The Earth Emanations Sovereign himself had said it: if Jiang Yi died, they could forget about going home. Thus, no matter what they did, they had to mitigate the risk of the Green Eagle King killing or hurting Jiang Yi by standing between them.

“Get lost!”

The Green Eagle King took big strides towards Jiang Yi. He did not look like he was rushing, but he arrived in front of Di Ming in just two steps. He swiped a single leg, and there was a loud crack—the sound of bones breaking. Di Ming immediately flew out of the way, causing the already-unstable castle on the left to collapse completely. At last, he was buried under the rubble, hovering between life and death.

Bang, bang, bang!

Jiutian Wu, Qin Lianshan, and the Clan Head of the Xuanyuan Clan all flew out at once. It was obvious that the Green Eagle King was truly furious this time. Each kick from him broke the ribs of the person in his way. The person would fly backward, spitting out blood. Even the Earth Emanations Army soldiers and Jiang Yi could not see the Green Eagle King’s actions clearly so they could not tell what exactly caused Jiutian Wu and company to fly out.

In a couple of blinks of the eye, the twenty-one people were scattered all around. None of them were able to get back on their feet. If they were not dead, they were probably very gravely injured.

Jiang Yi could not move either. His entire body was pressed down by the pressure that the Green Eagle King emitted; he could hardly even breathe. He was bent over at the waist, and both of his legs were trembling. He could fall to his knees at any moment until he could not withstand the pressure any longer. His face turned green, and his jaw was set. No matter what, he could not allow himself to kneel down.

Buzz!

Beside him, Jiang Xiaonu’s body lit up with a green light. Two wings appeared on her back, and the little horns on her head grew longer. In a flash, she was standing in front of Jiang Yi. She looked at the Green Eagle King with a cool gaze and said, “Green Eagle King, if you want to kill my Young Master, you will have to kill me first!”

“Wow…”

The people around them burst into a flurry of action. Many people knew who Jiang Xiaonu was. Now, they were confused. Jiang Xiaonu’s tone was too cold. It seemed almost as if she was completely unrelated to the Green Eagle King.

“Hmph!”

The Green Eagle King tutted, and they heard the sound of thunder. Countless people knelt down the moment they heard the sound. Some Earth Emanations Army soldiers, too, were knocked unconscious by the explosion. Jiang Yi was just about to fall over as well. At last, however, his Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand. He held onto the ground, supporting his body weight.

“Xiaonu!”

Jiang Xiaonu had already gone limp in front of him. Her eyes were closed, and she was lying on the ground. A beautiful woman behind the Green Eagle King—Big Sister Mu, who came to fetch Jiang Xiaonu the last time—rushed to Jiang Xiaonu’s side, picking her up in her arms. Then, immediately, she rushed back behind the Green Eagle King.

The Green Eagle King stopped walking as well. He stood thirty meters in front of Jiang Yi, gazing at him with cool eyes, not saying a single word. Both of his hands were behind his back, and his chin was tilted upwards. His entire being was emanating unparalleled prowess, causing many people to feel the urge to worship him. Everybody was watching the Green Eagle King with bated breath, wanting to see if he would kill Jiang Yi.

The Green Eagle King looked even more frightening when he was quiet. Jiang Yi held onto the Fire Dragon Sword, his hands trembling uncontrollably. Both of his legs were also slightly bent. His entire body seemed to be vibrating, but he still did not want to kneel down. He lifted his head and looked the Green Eagle King in the eye, his gaze equally as cool. There was even a shred of… indignance!

“Kneel!”

The Green Eagle King shouted in a cool tone, the aura around his body becoming more aggressive. At that moment, Jiang Yi felt a pressure akin to the kind that he felt at the Saint Spirit Mountain. The stone ground beneath his feet began to crack. Even the Fire Dragon Sword was several inches into the ground. His internal organs were shaken, and blood was spewing out of his mouth. All the bones in his body were cracking, threatening to break at any second. Still, he did not kneel down. His head remained high, and his eyes remained… filled with indignance!

“You’re not content?”

A mocking smile appeared on the Green Eagle King’s face. Suddenly, he retracted his energy and coldly asked, “What are you unhappy with? Your mother kidnapped my child. I wanted to kill you and your mother before, but on account of Xiaoyu, I decided to let you go just once. Still, you didn’t know how to retreat? Instead, you broke the seal on Xiaoyu’s memories? You even want to get together with her? What are you? Are you fit to get together with my daughter? You’re just a lowly man who ascended from the Lower Domain. What do you have to be discontented about?”

“Pfff!”

Jiang Yi coughed up a mouthful of blood, dying the front of his battle armor red. Instead of wiping the blood from his mouth, he started laughing aloud. He looked mockingly at the Green Eagle King and laughed for a full minute before he finally hardened his gaze and said, “What is wrong with people who ascend from the Lower Domain? Did the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch not ascend from the Lower Domain as well? What’s more… my mother did not kidnap your daughter. She saw her on the way home and decided to adopt her.

“Green Eagle King, you are the most powerful person in the Earth Domain. You can kill whoever you wish. If you wish to kill me today, I—Jiang Yi—cannot say anything about it. Yet, if I am not content, what are you going to do about it? You’re using your power to bully the weak; why can’t I be discontented? You’re using your status to bully the lowly; why can’t I be discontented? I am discontented. What are you going to do? What are you going to do about it?”

The entire city fell silent. Images of Jiang Yi shouting these angry words through his blood-stained mouth kept replaying in countless people’s minds. Many people could relate to what he was saying. They felt like they were being bonded to Jiang Yi by this common enemy. When they turned back to the Green Eagle King, there was no longer worship or fear in their eyes, but pure anger.

“Keke!”

The Green Eagle King laughed mirthlessly as if undeterred by the looks that the people around him were giving him. Still hard-hearted, he replied Jiang Yi, “There are millions and billions of people who have ascended from the Lower Domain. Do you think that you can become the second Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch? Do you think that—at my age, you would have the power to subdue me? How naive, amusing… childish…”

“Why must I wait until I get to your age?”

Jiang Yi immediately shouted, interrupting the Green Eagle King. Although many of his bones were already broken, his body remained upright. He stretched out his Fire Dragon Sword and pointed to the Green Eagle King. Emphasizing every word, he shouted, “I just need ten years to be able to torture you like a dog. If I can’t, I will kill myself to make it up to the universe!”
