Chapter 243: Dragon Eagle Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When everyone saw the four ruined heaven artifact, they had this solemn expression while some of them didn’t even dare to give chase. They knew clearly how tough a heaven artifact was, and it wasn’t possible for the Earth Fire to damage it. It was needless to say that Jiang Yi used some horrific trump cards; otherwise, how was it possible for him to kill four Soul Travel Realm experts in such a short period of time.

“Chase!”

Despite the case, a group of people quickly ran off in the direction where Jiang Yi fled. Whether could they kill Jiang Yi or not was one matter, but giving chase was a question of attitude. They still had to put on a show, right?

It was rather obvious.

Everyone’s speed of digging was dramatically slower as everyone’s eyes flickered as they looked at each other and were slacking in their role, trying to just brush this task off. Especially the soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom side, who immediately went back to report after chasing for a short distance and couldn’t be bothered anymore.

Jiang Yi had destroyed the tunnels, and the tunnels that he left were suddenly turning to the left and right, straight for a moment before going down for 30 kilometers, further increasing the difficulty of the pursuit. If everyone gave chase at the same time, it would only be slower; and if they were to split up, they would never be able to lock down Jiang Yi’s location. The Divine Martial Kingdom’s experts gave chase for two hours, and all return to report the failure of their pursuit!

“Jiang Yi actually incinerated heaven artifacts? He even killed four of the fifth-stage Soul Travel Realm experts effortlessly?”

When Great Xia Kingdom’s Great General Lord Su Diguo heard the report from his men, he had this flash of awe. He did hear some incidents about Jiang Yi and knew that he was the youth generation’s elite prodigy, but he didn’t expect his combat strength to be at this level when he was still young?

He might have relied on some artifacts, and it might not be his true combat strength. However, if he was able to obtain so many artifacts, it proved that he had some competency, right?

“Trash!”

When Xia Wuhui got to know that the pursuit was a failure, he was infuriated and humiliated again. This time, it was in front of the Great Xia Kingdom’s massive army; this humiliation was now all the way into foreign lands.

The massive army advanced again; this time, they were even more cautious. They dug a tunnel 30 meters and 150 meters below the main road as they marched; there were several thousands of soldiers forming a human wall right below Xia Wuhui. With so many layers of protection, Jiang Yi performing a sneak attack from underground again would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

…

“Sigh!”

Jiang Yi rushed out from a mountain peak that was several miles away from the army. After continuing to run for a distance, he found another concealed place to dig an underground tunnel before he fled again.

He had this anxious expression on his face. This army was just too massive and had too many experts. This was the result when the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts remained in their positions; these peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were all able to use dao pattern attacks which his Earth Fire wouldn’t be able to resist!

“Is there no other way?”

Seated on the Zouwu Beast—Big Huang, Jiang Yi appeared to be at a loss. He had no way to find Xia Wuhui, and with the current state of matters, it would be even more difficult for him to get near Xia Wuhui’s carriage. The underground defenses had even gone tighter.

Even if he could kill Xia Wuhui, he might not be able to obtain the ancient divine essence ring as it might be accidentally slashed by Jiang Yi.

“Above the ground and under the ground are both denied! Is there no other way?”

Jiang Yi rubbed his face; all of a sudden, his eyes lit up. If he couldn’t gain entry through the surface or underground, he could go in from the sky. There were plenty of Soul Travel Realm experts in the army. He couldn’t get too near, but he had the… Fire Spirit Rock!

If he was riding on an aerial spirit beast, he didn’t even have to approach the army, he could directly use the Fire Spirit Rock to attack from the skies!

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi got excited. He still had one more spirit beast talisman, and if the Fire Phoenix was dead, he just had to tame another spirit beast! Since taming the Fire Phoenix didn’t result in his premature death, there shouldn’t be any problem for him to tame another spirit beast, right?

“Time to go!”

Jiang Yi knew clearly where to find demonic beasts in the Great Xia Kingdom. It was already too late to go back to Mt. Thirty Thousand; he had no choice but to find an aerial demonic beast in the nearby vicinity.

“Big Huang, head towards the west!”

According to the map provided by Qian Kun, there was a Mt. Cloud Glow. There might not be any high-graded demonic beasts, but there were rumors of tier-three demonic beasts and plenty of tier-two demonic beasts. It was a rather famous place in the Great Xia Kingdom.

The distance from here to Mt. Cloud Glow wasn’t far, and Jiang Yi could probably reach the place in a single day. It should be sufficient for him to tame a spirit beast and chase after the army within one or two days before the army arrives at the Summer Rain City.

“Moo-Moo!”

After Big Huang descended 30 kilometers into the ground, it began to dash towards the west at full speed. When Jiang Yi was sure that it was safe, he began to rest and cultivate on Big Huang, replenishing his stamina and essence force.

As expected by Jiang Yi, he arrived at the nearby vicinity of Mt. Cloud Glow on the next morning. After he made sure that it was Mt. Cloud Glow ahead, he dove into the ground again and headed right for the depths of Mt. Cloud Glow.

There were indeed plenty of demonic beasts in Mt. Cloud Glow. As soon as Jiang Yi emerged from the ground, he discovered a tier-two demonic beast, which he slew easily with the Black Scale Sword. He then rapidly circled the area, trying to find a flying demonic beast.

However…

After wandering for the entire morning, Jiang Yi encountered numerous demonic beasts. Then again, only two of them could fly; and both of them were the tier-one Fire Chicken. Its body was twice the size of a regular chicken, but when Jiang Yi walked over, the two Fire Chickens were so frightened that they couldn’t even fly.

As time ticked by, Jiang Yi felt even more urgency. The longer he delayed, the closer the army got to Summer Rain City. Once they entered the city, all his hopes would be dashed. He couldn’t be killing his way into the Great Xia Kingdom’s royal palace, right?

“Chu!”

There was a clear calling of an avian from the sky ahead. When Jiang Yi looked up, he was instantly elated. A giant eagle was circling the skies. It had black feathers that were like sharp knives, reflecting the sun’s brilliance emitting chilling light and putting fear in the hearts.

“Tier-two peak-grade demonic beast, Dragon Eagle!”

When Jiang Yi saw that the eagle had this dragon horn on the head, he was starting to like it even more. A tier-three demonic beast was something Jiang Yi could only hope to come across; hence, a tier-two peak-grade demonic beast was already considered quite fortunate.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi leaped up and onto a small stone peak, taking out his God-Exterminating Crossbows to shoot randomly, hoping to attract the Dragon Eagle’s attention.

It seemed like the Dragon Eagle didn’t even see the crossbow bolts because the shooting range of the God-Exterminating Crossbow wasn’t long enough. After shooting over a dozen crossbow bolts, Jiang Yi helplessly kept the God-Exterminating Crossbows.

He suddenly thought of something as he emitted blazing flames from his body and even released the Massacre Intent, glaring at the hovering Dragon Eagle in the sky.

True enough—!

This move did the trick! The soaring Dragon Eagle made a turn-around before it dove at the human that was actually provoking it. Before it even came close, Jiang Yi felt as though the sky turned dusky and was blocked by some black clouds.

“Right about time!”

Jiang Yi kept the Earth Fire and also the dispersed the killing aura, calmly standing still and waiting for the Dragon Eagle to dive!

“Zha!”

When the Dragon Eagle was about 300 meters from Jiang Yi, it suddenly opened its beak widely and shot out a lightning bolt, which frightened Jiang Yi so much that his body shook. He quickly took out the Devil Sky Silk and wrapped up his body.

“Bang!”

That lightning bolt had the size of a fist. When Jiang Yi got struck by it, the Devil Sky Silk glittered with silver light as he was sent flying. The small stone peak got blasted into pieces as the entire surroundings were charred.

“You brute, get down here!”

The Devil Sky Silk vanished while Jiang Yi leaped up into the air and released his Massacre Intent. The horrific killing aura instantly enveloped the Dragon Eagle which was preparing to fly back high up into the sky.

“Chu-Chu!”

The third rank of the Massacre Intent was very frightening, so much that it could suppress a tier-three inferior-grade demonic beast—let alone this tier-two peak-grade demonic beast. This Dragon Eagle went into shock and forgot to flap its wings, dropping straight towards the land. Jiang Yi then drew the Fire Dragon Sword and poured his essence force in, immobilizing the Dragon Eagle with the double suppression.

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi was ecstatic as he took out a piece of the spirit beast talisman which quickly formed golden wordings for the taming process.

The taming this time was exceptionally smooth as his soul spirit didn’t have any weird reaction when the Dragon Eagle and his soul spirit made a trace of connection. Jiang Yi began to suspect whether his soul spirit had any problems.

“Time to go!”

Keeping the Dragon Eagle into the spirit beast talisman, Jiang Yi didn’t have any more time to delay. He immediately summoned the Zouwu Beast, Big Huang, and headed in a straight underground path towards Summer Rain City.

There wasn’t a difference between flying and traveling underground since both are traveling in a straight line. However, Big Huang’s speed was definitely faster than this Dragon Eagle; Jiang Yi naturally picked the underground route.
