Fury Towards The Burning Heaven - Chapter 494: Inescapable Net

Bang!

Sha Di’s corpse came crashing down and crushed two Great Xia Kingdom’s soldiers during the process. At the same time, Xiao Longwang’s bellowing had also resonated out to the whole Stellarsky City; and everyone could see a small black dot up above the sky, which continued to travel further away.

Sha Di was dead, and Xiao Longwang had fled!

The alliance army was flabbergasted. Their originally low morale got even worse. Now that the two great Vajra Realm martial experts were gone, was there a need to continue? When they saw the Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower charging down, countless of them panicked. Some had even started to quietly flee.

“Jiang Yi wouldn’t accept a surrendered army. Therefore, we can only battle to the death. The reinforcements from the Martial Arts Hall are about to arrive. All troops, listen up. You can only advance, not retreat. Whoever dares to escape shall be executed right here!”

Ling Xue drew out her silver sword and circulated her essence force. It seemed as if there was some miraculous magic contained within her voice as the panicking alliance army calmed down after her delicate shout. Their eyes revealed suicidal intents as they started to brandish their weapons and continued to fight with the Great Xia Kingdom’s army once again.

Jiang Yi returned to where his main troops were stationed at and remained there. With Grandma Silver Flower and the Yazi Beast around, it was only a matter of time before the fall of this city. Furthermore, with him overseeing the situation, he would be able to prevent any mishaps from happening.

Roar!

The enormous Yazi Beast descended from the sky. It didn’t even need to attack and was able to smash dozens of soldiers into tatters, just by bursting down. It barged through the alliance army with its mountain-like body, causing groups of soldiers to be either rammed or stomped to death.

Its defense was way too tough as ordinary martial artist’s attack would never be able to injure it. Only an attack from a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert could cause it to be somewhat apprehensive. Of course, it was merely a slight concern. In any case—since the Yazi Beast possessed quick agility, it was still hard for even a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert to land an attack.

Massacre!

Although the speed of the Yazi Beast’s slaughter wasn’t as terrifying as Jiang Yi, it wasn’t that much of a difference as well. The Yazi Beast was like an elephant charging into a flock of sheep, smashing groups after groups of the alliance army into tatters.

Tsk! Tsk!

Grandma Silver Flower’s attack wasn’t any weaker. She might not have the Massacre Intent, but a Vajra Realm martial expert’s aura was already very terrifying by itself. Under the oppression of this aura, Soul Travel Realm martial artists would feel stifled; and their speed would be decreased. She simply shot out essence force attacks that looked like a crescent moon and was already able to effortlessly take out the lives of hundreds of martial artists.

Boom!

After killing for a while, the Yazi Beast felt that it couldn’t satisfy its thirst. Therefore, it dashed towards the Stellarsky City walls directly. An immense explosion rumbled out as that lofty and sturdy thick wall got turned into broken pieces. The Yazi Beast had an extremely disdainful aura presence as it destroyed the city walls and charged straight into Stellarsky City. After ramming and stomping groups of soldiers to death, he turned back and charged towards another nearby city wall.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The city walls started to collapse as a hundred-meter wide opening appeared. The Stellarsky City had become an unfortified city as it exposed itself to the enemy troops.

Tsk! Tsk!

Grandma Silver Flower stopped attacking the soldiers and turned her attention to the city walls. As long as she continued to widen the gap in the city walls to kilometers wide, she could just charge in together with the Yazi Beast. The alliance army would then be defeated very quickly.

“Sigh…”

Under the protection of a few Soul Travel Realm experts, Ling Xue retreated from the city walls. Among more than a million troops they had, more than 700,000 of them had perished. Under Grandma Silver Flower and the Yazi Beast’s attacks, the inevitable disorder had appeared within the alliance army. At this very moment, the battle was already lost before the Martial Arts Hall got the chance to make their move. The Azure Dragon Empire was destined to be destroyed.

“Kill!”

At this moment, Jiang Yi finally got into action. He brandished the Fire Dragon Sword as he advanced slowly.

The Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower led the charge into the city. The hundreds of thousands of soldiers around them charged with a boosted morale while the enemy soldiers in the city retreated little by little. Countless buildings within the city had already been destroyed. The citizens of Stellarsky City had long escaped through the eastern gate. Other than a few devoted subjects that intended to be buried together with the city, it was just a desolated town.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The gap on the city wall kept on getting wider while the buildings in the western region kept getting razed to the ground. Jiang Yi advanced as he trod prudently. He extended his divine senses to scan the city but did not discover an anomaly.

However, the moment he entered Stellarsky City, he could feel this ineffable sense of unease. This uneasiness came inexplicably because there weren’t any unusual changes within the city or even hundreds of meters underground. Jiang Yi probed several times but still didn’t manage to discover any abnormality.

The Martial Arts Hall in Stellarsky City was located near the plaza. There were hundreds of martial artists within the Martial Arts Hall, and among them were dozens of peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts. Even so, this number of people couldn’t even be considered a threat to Jiang Yi.

The alliance army retreated little by little while some had started to flee through the western gate. Ling Xue retreated to the plaza while her eyes were filled with despair and sadness. That expression couldn’t be disguised as it was an emotion that was produced from the depth of her soul spirit. Jiang Yi was sure that he didn’t misread it.

What’s the problem then?

Jiang Yi had no idea, and he no longer advanced. He stood on the streets of the western region and looked towards the Great Xia Kingdom troops that were advancing like packs of wolves. As he witnessed countless deaths and how the majestic Stellarsky City got turned into ruins under the attacks of the army, the uneasiness in his heart only grew stronger.

The moment all of Great Xia Kingdom’s army entered the Stellarsky City, Jiang Yi’s sword-like eyebrows pricked up. Suddenly, he exploded out in a roar, “Retreat! All forces, retreat!”

After he spoke, he disappeared from his original spot as he instant-shifted away.

Grandma Silver Flower and the Yazi Beast looked back with bewilderment. The expressions of Jiang Rentu, Zhan Yiming, Qian Gui, and the others instantly changed. They looked towards their surroundings vigilantly. However, they were unable to discover any martial expert’s aura.

Buzz!

It was at that moment, the base of the city walls in Stellarsky City lit up. Four beams of light shot directly towards the sky. In mid-air, it emitted an arc before intertwining with each other, ultimately turning into a semicircular barrier. This barrier was white in color and did not release any form of terrifying aura. It was quite similar to the city’s barrier earlier, just that there was a difference in color.

Bang!

Jiang Yi appeared at the edge of the barrier while his head collided onto it heavily. Very clearly, this barrier was able to seal off the spatial zone, causing him to be unable to instant shift.

“This, this…”

Everyone within the city stared at the barrier above them in a daze. A lot of those soldiers that were fighting had also stopped, and their faces were filled with a huge question mark. Hasn’t the barrier been broken through? Why was there another one?

Furthermore, the barrier was just a defensive barrier and didn’t possess any form of attacking power. Now that the army had already intruded the city, what was the point of activating this barrier? On the contrary, it would prevent the alliance army from fleeing.

“Uh!”

Not only were Jiang Rentu, Zhan Yiming, and the others bewildered, but the royal clan’s members, including Ling Xue, was also stupefied. The Stellarsky City had always been controlled by the Ling Clan. As Ling Clan’s descendants, they actually had no idea of the existence of this barrier!

The Martial Arts Hall is finally making a move?

Ling Xue’s delicate body shuddered, and her eyes started glowing with radiance.

Only the Martial Arts Hall was able to set up such a big array without her knowing. At this moment, she finally realized why did the Martial Arts Hall agreed to help out but did not make a move till now.

They were waiting for Jiang Yi to enter the Stellarsky City, they were waiting for him to enter this inescapable trap!

Buzz!

True enough—!

At the side of the plaza, an immense teleportation array lighted up. Strangely enough, Jiang Yi was unable to instant-shift away, but the people outside could teleport in?

Four figures gradually condensed from the teleportation array. The hundreds of martial artists in the Martial Arts Hall, who never once moved, dashed their way over as they knelt before this four individuals in a single knee and greeted in a serious tone, “Greetings to Chief Hall Master, Saint Lady Ji, Elder Lu, and Elder Zeng!”

“Saint Lady Ji!”

Jiang Yi had disregarded the other trio completely as he locked his vision onto the beautiful woman, who was dressed in a yellow skirt, that could cause anyone to be enchanted by her beauty. Meanwhile, his eyes were filled with traces of complications.

Saint Lady Ji looked back at Jiang Yi. The corners of her mouth rose slightly as she spoke softly, “Jiang Yi, long time, no see.”
