Chapter 689: I, Chief Jiang, am Still Not Convinced!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

There was a shadow that was sprinting like a stealthy fox in the thunder ridge. He was running in a very strange route, and he wasn’t flying but running quietly in the mountains on foot. His body then quickly hid behind a giant boulder with such speed that no one would be able to notice until someone was looking carefully.

This person was extremely ugly. He had a pig’s snoot, bull’s eyes, especially large mouth, and several intersecting scars on the face. The scars might not be obvious, but whenever he moved the muscles on his face, the scars would move along, making it abnormally ugly.

Boom! Boom!

There were explosive sounds that came from the front, which made Big Brother Heng’s bull-like eyes very excited. He didn’t have Chief Leng’s powerful defenses—neither Jiang Yi’s immunity towards flames. He had no choice but to avoid the Thunder Fire as he advanced. Furthermore, he didn’t dare to fly in the open and traveled here in a concealed manner; thus, he only made it here after Jiang Yi and Chief Leng had exchanged several moves.

“Die, die, Lone Wolf, you dog bastard. I must turn you into mincemeat.”

Big Brother Heng’s sprinted forward like a fox. The temperature ahead might be getting higher, but he totally disregarded it. Now that Chief Leng was suppressing Jiang Yi, it was the best timing for him to execute a sneak attack; and Jiang Yi would be dead without a doubt!

He had been blinded by hatred. It didn’t matter if Jiang Yi had humiliated him, but more than a dozen of his subordinates had been taken in by Jiang Yi, which was something he couldn’t swallow. Hence, he requested for Chief Leng to stick out for him and help him to get back his reputation.

Now that Chief Leng was making the move, he couldn’t possibly miss out such an opportunity blessed by the heavens. Therefore, he shamelessly followed into the thunder ridge just so he could kill Jiang Yi and wipe out his grudge with revenge, to cleanse off the humiliation Jiang Yi have given him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions was getting nearer, and Big Brother Heng’s heart was pounding faster. He didn’t dare to extend out his divine senses and simply scanned the place with his eyes while chasing after the sounds.

“Eh?”

Suddenly—!

He noticed that the explosions had stopped. His eyes flashed with ecstasy as he thought could it be that… Jiang Yi had been killed by Chief Leng?

Before his smile could fully extend, a figure flew over in a slanted position which was quickly followed behind by a sky filled with fire dragons, and another figure which was constantly flashing in the air.

“How, how… how could this be possible?”

He focused his eyes and noticed that the one fleeing at the front was actually Chief Leng? The one that was constantly instant-shifting from behind was actually Jiang Yi? Looking at Chief Leng’s expression and attitude, he seemed to be in an abnormally sorry state? His hair and clothes were all drenched with sweat.

“This isn’t right!”

He was awakened with a scare as the two of them were rapidly approaching, and the surrounding temperature was increasing quickly. The fire dragons that Jiang Yi cleaved out were shining with blue light and were actually streaks of Thunder Fire.

“Run—!”

Big Brother Heng was so frightened that he was terror-stricken. He didn’t think about anything else and just wanted to flee as far as possible right now. He wanted to escape back to Sky Thunder City and out of Sky Thunder Island. He didn’t want to see Jiang Yi anymore. As long as he could escape, he could even forget about taking revenge.

A pity that his reaction speed was too slow. Furthermore, with his current line of thinking, he didn’t dare to escape at the fastest speed and actually tried to slip away secretly from the bottom, making his speed a little slower. Moreover, when the heat wave rolled over, he had no choice but to channel a massive amount of essence force to pour into his divine shield. However, the heat wave could still permeate through the divine shield and caused his entire body to feel hot and his limbs powerless, making his speed even slower.

By the time he realized it and wanted to soar through the sky in a straight line, Jiang Yi had already noticed him from a distance. Jiang Yi’s body in vanished instantly and appeared one mile beside Big Brother Heng. Jiang Yi then released his Thunder Fire and abruptly cleaved with his Fire Dragon Sword, sending the fire dragons and Thunder Fire forward.

Feeling the spatial zone undulating from behind, Big Brother Heng turned back and happened to see Jiang Yi’s body appearing. He instantly howled out with desperation, “No… You cannot kill me. Don’t kill me. Chief Jiang, as long as you don’t kill me, I am willing to do anything for you!”

Jiang Yi glared at Big Brother Heng and spoke in an indifferent tone, “I don’t need it. I find it disgusting even if you are to be my guard dog. Die!”

Chi! Chi!

As the fire dragons whizzed over, Big Brother Heng’s divine shield instantly got broken; and his body was getting burned at the speed visible to the naked eye. Big Brother Heng turned into a flaming man as he struggled in the air, constantly letting out miserable shrieks with a voice so sharp that it echoed throughout the wilderness.

“Xiao Heng?”

Chief Leng, who was flying in a slanted angle, suddenly realized that Jiang Yi didn’t chase after him, and he had heard a miserable scream. His face instantly changed while anger filled his eyes. If Big Brother Heng was screaming so loudly, it was needless to say that he was getting burned alive.

“Uh…”

The distance from this place to Sky Thunder City was around 40 to 50 miles apart, but for someone with Big Brother Heng’s strength who was howling out with all his energy before death, even the people by the city could subtly hear him. A normal individual would be unable to hear whose voice it was, but Chief Li, Chief Ying, and the Heaven Monarchs were able to recognize it. They looked at one another and had altered expressions.

Big Brother Heng had perished!

Chief Leng and Jiang Yi were still in a battle. Big Brother Heng had sneaked over but was actually killed? Jiang Yi could still kill Big Brother Heng under the pressure from Chief Leng?

Just earlier, not a single person thought highly of Jiang Yi, but they were now bewildered. Of course, no one would doubt that Chief Leng might lose, but they had a better impression of Jiang Yi now.

“Chief Jiang is too formidable!”

Niu Deng and the others’ eyes were filled with flames as they too could hear that it was Big Brother Heng screaming. All of them were silently praying that Jiang Yi could survive, and if Jiang Yi could survive, their status in the city would be much higher in the future.

Especially when Jiang Yi said that statement, “As a boss, if I cannot even protect my own men, what is the purpose for me to be a boss? Why would my men even follow me?” This statement had made everyone’s heart more determined to serve under Jiang Yi.

Chi! Chi!

The flames of battle in the thunder ridge were still burning. After Jiang Yi killed Big Brother Heng, he continued to instant-shift towards Chief Leng in a frenzy, without even taking Big Brother Heng’s spatial ring. Jiang Yi was clear that he must not stop or retreat and had to constantly attack, which was his best defense. As for how much Thunder Fire was left in the Fire Spirit Pearl? He already didn’t bother and had decided to fight to the last moment.

Chief Leng originally wanted to see if Big Brother Heng had perished or not, but as soon as he paused in mid-air, Jiang Yi came chasing again, rapidly closing the gap with the frenzied instant shifts. Chief Leng could only burst out with a few curses before continuing to retreat.

Fifteen minutes, 30 minutes… 1 hour!

Jiang Yi was still attacking—desperately attacking, and it seemed as though his Thunder Fire was limitless. He didn’t even pause for a moment. His body was like a specter as he would instant-shift to the top, bottom, left, right, or behind Chief Leng—leaving Chief Leng no way to do anything else. Chief Leng couldn’t even attack as his essence force was being used up so incredibly fast, and he had to even slow down his speed. Otherwise, if his divine shield was to be shattered, he would be done for.

“Could this kid’s Thunder Fire be limitless? Or perhaps it isn’t even Thunder Fire but actually… a fire attribute dao pattern? Could he have comprehended a fire attribute high-grade dao pattern, but his essence force had yet to cultivate to the compatible level?”

When Chief Leng thought of the possibility, he felt goosebumps throughout his body. If Jiang Yi’s Thunder Fire was truly endless, he would only be able to persevere for about two to four hours. If his divine shield was shattered prematurely, he would truly be damned.

Jiang Yi continued to strike without saying a single word. After 15 minutes, Chief Leng’s face revealed a resolute expression as he suddenly yelled out, “Chief Jiang, let’s stop! Xiao Heng is already dead, and it is not worthwhile for me to stick out for him anymore. Let us end today’s battle as a draw, and we shall mind our own businesses in the future. How about it?”

Chief Leng was seeking a truce?

Jiang Yi paused for a moment and immediately increased the aggressiveness of his attacks. His eyes radiated with thunderous light while his body was filled with appalling aura presence. He yelled back coldly, “Chief Leng, since we are going to fight, we have to settle for an outcome. Putting aside yours or my death, at least one side has to admit defeat, right? Chief Leng’s attacks and defenses are very wicked, but… I, Chief Jiang, am still not convinced!”
