Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi jumped down into the ravine, and when he fell for hundreds of feet, the Black Scale Sword suddenly appeared in his hand and was thrust into the cliff.

The Black Scale Sword, which could shave iron like it was mud, effortlessly thrust itself into the cliff, causing Jiang Yi’s body to stop falling. He used one hand to grab onto the cliff and brandished his Black Scale Sword, quickly excavating a small cave in the cliff.

A crafty rabbit has three burrows. Let’s dig a few tunnels and prepare some escape routes!

A single move of the Black Scale Sword was enough to instantly turn limestone into flecks. Jiang Yi dug the tunnels quickly and in all directions. He dug two tunnels straight towards the surface but didn’t allow it to break through to the surface; otherwise, someone might notice it. He left about a ten-foot gap, which he would be able to easily break out if he had to flee.

After digging two tunnels, Jiang Yi doubled back and began to dig downwards and finally stopped when he was about one thousand feet from the surface. He dug a small cave right at the cliffs, which also acted as another escape route.

“En. I will stay here for about three to five days. At this distance, I will be able to easily sense anyone above!”

Jiang Yi nodded and sat cross-legged to begin his cultivation. He kept the medal into the Fire Spirit Pearl so that even if someone walked across, they still wouldn’t be able to sense him.

For every two hours of cultivation, Jiang Yi would awaken to sense the surroundings with the medal. After making sure no one was around, he would continue his cultivation. After cultivating for eight to ten hours later, he began practicing the Wind Shadow Sword, brandishing the Black Scale Sword towards the spacious area outside of the cliffs.

He was already proficient with the Wind Shadow Sword, but he was still unable to achieve the Phenomenal stage and was unable to form a force field to suppress the enemy. With Jiang Yi’s instincts—if this earth-tier superior-grade martial skill required such a long time to comprehend, it showed how difficult it was.

After practicing for two hours, Jiang Yi took out the silver long silk and continued to refine it. He had been refining this Devil Sky Silk for months but was still unable to utilize it. He wasn’t discouraged by it and would refine it whenever he had time. This was a heaven artifact, and if he was able to wield it, it would greatly increase his combat strength.

Eh? There is someone?

One hour later, Jiang Yi took out the medal and took a routine scan, only to notice the five red light spots above. He promptly stored the medal and the Devil Sky Silk and used his ears to listen out for the movements.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

There was a slight noise coming from above, and it was getting louder and louder. It was apparent that the people above were digging towards the tunnels. Jiang Yi stood up and grinned. “They found me? Hehe, since you are taking the initiative to seek death, don’t blame me!”

The people on the surface had indeed sensed Jiang Yi. They had a few individuals in the group, and there would also be someone using the medal to scan the vicinity and to scout out for enemies. The moment Jiang Yi took out the medal, they had already detected him. These people didn’t even hesitate to use the weapons in their hands to dig a tunnel and rush downward.

But… after they dug for a moment, they realized they couldn’t sense Jiang Yi’s medal anymore. Some of them were suspicious, but they didn’t stop digging the tunnel. Soon enough, they dug into one of Jiang Yi’s tunnels and was immediately excited, rushing down through the tunnel that Jiang Yi dug.

Jiang Yi used their speed to estimate the opposition’s strength. When he found out that they were Purple Mansion Realm martial artists, he didn’t move around and just stood in the middle of a tunnel, waiting for them to rush down.

“Swish!”

The speed of these people was rather fast and soon flew downward from above. The one on the front was a peak-stage Purple Mansion Realm martial artist. The battle saber in his hands was flashing with a chilling intent while that biting cold killer aura enveloped Jiang Yi when he was still over a hundred feet away.

“Eh?”

The tunnel was dug downwards in a slanting direction, and Jiang Yi made it rather spacious with a radius of about three meters, which allowed the people coming down to see Jiang Yi clearly.

The martial artist—who was at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm—hesitated when he saw Jiang Yi standing still in the tunnel, wearing this sinister-looking wolf mask.

The people at the back were already bursting downward, giving this Purple Mansion Realm martial artist no choice but to grit his teeth and rush towards Jiang Yi, thrusting the saber like a poison dragon.

“Hehe!”

Jiang Yi grinned. The wolf mask was covering the nose upwards, making his smile look even more malevolent. When he ascertained that these people weren’t from the Zhan or the Qian Clan, he didn’t have any more hesitation. When the opposition was around thirty feet away from him, two God-Exterminating Crossbows suddenly appeared in his hands and shot out with two black lights.

“Ah? Retreat—!”

The eyes of the peak stage Purple Mansion Realm martial artist shrunk and instinctively wanted to retreat backward to evade. The problem was… the spaciousness of this tunnel was only so wide, and all his teammates were coming down one after another. Where was he going to run?

He could only do his best to brandish the long saber in his hands to block. At such a distance against the God-Exterminating Crossbow which had such terrifying speed, it was already good enough for him to detect one of the crossbow bolts. How was he going to dodge the other crossbow bolt?

“Tsk-Tsk!”

A large hole was instantly opened up on his chest as the bloodied crossbow bolt burst out. The strong impact caused his body to fly backward, crashing into the other guy behind him who also fell to the ground.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi moved, too. His body was like a dragon that flew forward while his hands constantly rotated the God-Exterminating Crossbows, shooting out eight crossbow bolts.

“Ah!”

Miserable screams resonated. This tunnel was much too convenient for the God-Exterminating Crossbows, and Jiang Yi had ten of the crossbows which were all loaded up while Jiang Yi just had to simply take out to use.

A total of six individuals came down. After Jiang Yi’s barrage of God-Exterminating Crossbows attack, three of them were dead, one of them was severely injured, and another one had light injuries while the last one was fleeing with fear.

How could he allow a duck that was already boiled thoroughly to fly away?

Jiang Yi’s body skimmed over while sliding the Black Scale Sword across the two injured individuals, killing them before pursuing the one that fled. A pity that the fleeing person had the speed of a fifth-stage Purple Mansion Realm while Jiang Yi was just at the second stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. He wasn’t able to use the black essence force anymore and had a much slower speed, causing the gap between to slowly grow as Jiang Yi pursued.

“Swish!”

The person quickly emerged from the tunnel, but he didn’t try to intercept and kill Jiang Yi; he ran far away frantically instead. It was obvious that his nerves had been severely affected by Jiang Yi’s God-Exterminating Crossbow.

“Are you still able to escape?”

Jiang Yi’s body burst out from the ground, and when he saw the figure that was running away, he grinned and yelled out, “Silver-Moon Demon Wolf, appear!”

The spirit beast talisman flashed in his hand while a giant blue wolf appeared. Jiang Yi leaped onto it, turning into an afterimage and chasing after that man.

“Ah?”

When the martial artist heard the air-piercing sound and felt that biting-cold killing intent, he immediately turned around to see a grim reaper wielding a black longsword that rapidly approached. The speed left him no options to dodge or evade.

“Bang!”

As the Black Scale Sword slid across, that person’s body was promptly split into two portions. The Silver-Moon Demon Wolf was too fast, making it way too easy for Jiang Yi to slash using the demon wolf’s speed.

Keeping the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf into the spirit beast talisman, Jiang Yi found the medal and also took the saber along with him. It was still an artifact, and it would be a pity to waste it.

Keeping his spoils of battle properly, Jiang Yi subconsciously took out the medal to sense the surroundings, which instantly caused a change in his expression. His ears soon heard a noise in the air; his eyes abruptly swept the left where he saw something that made his eyes turn grave.

“Retreat!”

His body burst forth as he quickly retreated back to the stone cave as there were several dozens of people ahead. Using the medal to sense, he detected two black light spots—which meant that the group ahead had two Soul Travel Realm experts.
