Fury Towards The Burning Heaven - Chapter 1400: Demon

Chapter 1400: Demon

If Zhang Hai died, Jiang Yi would not be able to get away for sure. He knew this very clearly!

Perhaps he could use his Mighty God Technique to increase his speed temporarily until he was akin to a God King. However, he would still not be fast enough. He would be caught by the troops behind him easily, and they would continue to attack him. He could only let Zhang Hai lead him; that was the only way he would be able to get out alive.

Thus, he decided to use that last ball of Merged Flames to kill all the yellow sand worms. The Merged Flames were very aggressive indeed. The flames could kill even God Kings. Of course, these low-level yellow sand worms would be easy to kill. When Jiang Yi was at the Demon Fire Mountainous Region earlier, he burned an Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast to death with these flames.

“You?”

Zhang Hai, however, was confused. He thought Jiang Yi was kidding. The way he saw it, Jiang Yi was only where he was today because he had connections. When he first rose up to this position, he was only in the Heaven-God Realm. He only very recently advanced to the God-General Realm. Was he really saying he wanted to kill these yellow sand worms? And all of them at that?

“Don’t object! Trust me!”

Time was tight, and Jiang Yi had no time to explain much to Zhang Hai. He retrieved his Chaos Essence Pearl, and a beam of light shot out of it. Zhang Hai felt a suction force. He hesitated for a while but, at last, decided to trust Jiang Yi.

The most important thing was… he had no other choice. The only outcome for him was death. If that was the case, he might as well try what Jiang Yi had to offer.

“Come, come!”

Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and felt every single yellow sand worm charging towards him. He held the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand. There was a flash of light, and the last ball of Merged Flames appeared.

Thirty thousand feet, twenty thousand feet… ten thousand feet!

Jiang Yi’s eyes widened suddenly. He released the ball of three-colored flames from his left hand, and the Fire Spirit Pearl lit up at once. Energy burst forth towards his body; the pearl was protecting its owner from being burnt by his own flames.

“Tsk! Tsk!”

The ground kept shaking. The yellow sand worms kept charging towards him. The lowest-grade Chaos Beasts would not fear death at all. Jiang Yi raised his hand, hitting the area behind his back with the Merged Flames.

At that moment, a strange thing happened!

The Fire Spirit Pearl lit up once again, and a dim golden light shot out towards the Merged Flames in Jiang Yi’s hand. Jiang Yi stared in shock as the golden light swallowed his Merged Flames.

“Damn!”

At that moment, Jiang Yi wanted very badly to die. The little beast in his Fire Spirit Pearl woke up at such a crucial moment. It even flew out of the Fire Spirit Pearl on its own accord and swallowed his one and only ball of Merged Flames.

How fast were these yellow sand worms?

The Merged Flames were gone. Even if Jiang Yi released Zhang Hai at once, Zhang Hai would not have had the time to defend them both. They would die for sure.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sound of something cutting through air sounded. Jiang Yi could already smell death. He sighed gently, closing his eyes and getting ready to die. Without the Merged Flames, he would surely lose his life even if he put up a fight first.

“Eh?”

What confused Jiang Yi was that six seconds later, none of the yellow sand worms reached him. He opened his eyes in shock but did not see a single yellow sand worm as well. Instead, he only saw that little beast standing on his shoulder, looking around with a cold gaze. It looked nonchalant.

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi quickly entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to sense the beast and found an astonishing sight: hundreds of meters behind him, hundreds of yellow sand worms were gathered together in a dense group. They were not moving at all. Instead, they were all trembling slightly. If Jiang Yi was not mistaken, there was even… some fear on their faces?

“What is happening?”

Jiang Yi was cracking his brain, but he could not figure out what just happened. Yellow sand worms were the lowest-grade Chaos Beasts. They had next to no intelligence. Even the threat of death would not scare them. When he summoned his Merged Flames earlier, the yellow sand worms did not even retreat. Now, they were so frightened that they did not even dare to move.

Swish!

There was a soft sound of something cutting through the air. The little beast on Jiang Yi’s shoulder was flying towards the yellow sand worms at top speed. In a blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the yellow sand worms. Another shocking thing happened next.

The single horn on the little beast’s head glowed golden. The gold light surrounded the yellow sand worms. Then, it brought the entire group of yellow sand worms back to Jiang Yi. Before Jiang Yi could react, they arrived in front of him. The little beast stood right in front, its head held up high. It looked almost like a commander bringing hundreds of soldiers back.

Gulp, gulp!

Jiang Yi swallowed several gulps of saliva. He felt a chill run down his spine, and he was starting to have tunnel vision. He looked at the yellow sand worms, which looked like a black wave. Everything felt so surreal; everything was so ridiculous.

Ss, ss!

Jiang Yi sucked in a deep breath. His voice trembling, he said, “You… you… you controlled… this group of yellow sand worms?”

Jiang Yi subconsciously asked the question. He did not expect the little beast to nod in a human-like manner. It could understand Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi shivered once again and said nervously, “Can you control these yellow sand worms to help me?”

“No!”

The little beast’s eyes lit up, and white light shot out, entering Jiang Yi’s mind. A voice—filled with ecstasy but stubborn—sounded in his mind: “I can help you if you want me to, but you must give me flames to eat. I want many, many strong flames. That’s right… I also want to eat many, many golden hearthstones, black rainstones, and Tian Qi Flowers. If you give me food, I will help you!”

How are you a freaking spirit treasure? You’re practically a demon!

Jiang Yi’s entire body stiffened. This little beast knew how to send voice transmissions. It was highly intelligent, and it even wanted to use Jiang Yi to help him get it food?

Jiang Yi reacted immediately. If this beast’s intelligence was so high, didn’t that mean that the beast was very powerful? The beast could control the yellow sand worms; this proved to Jiang Yi how perverted it was. Whether it was a demon or a monster, at least Jiang Yi knew that it would not harm him. Perhaps it could even help him.

“Alright, I can get flames for sure. I will try my best to find those golden hearthstones, black rainstones, and Tian Qi flowers as well,” Jiang Yi quickly answered in a serious manner. “I am being hunted down now. Help me this once first. If I die, nobody can help you find food.”

Swish!

The little beast flew back to Jiang Yi and stood on his shoulder. Once again, it sent a voice transmission: “If you lie to me, I will eat your brain. Tell me… how should I help you?”

“Eat my brain?”

Another chill ran down Jiang Yi’s spine. Now, he was even more confused. Wasn’t a Primitive Spiritual Treasure supposed to recognize its owner? Not only was this little beast not recognizing Jiang Yi as its owner, but it was even threatening to eat his brain. If he could eat even the Merged Flames, how easy would it be for it to eat Jiang Yi’s brains?

It doesn’t matter anymore!

Jiang Yi shook his head, not wanting to spend too much time thinking about this. He needed to get out of danger first. He began to look more excited as he shouted in a low voice to the little beast, “Make that group of yellow sand worms follow us. We’ll go and control more yellow sand worms!”

One yellow sand worm was not considered strong, but if they could control thousands and ten thousands of yellow sand worms, how powerful would they be? Even Demon-Killing Battle Gods would have to run for their lives, wouldn’t they?

“Power of Heaven and Earth!”

Xiao Leng and the two Demon-Killing Battle Gods were still fighting, and Zhang Mei was dead. He did not know if the other two commanders were still alive. Time was short. Jiang Yi did not dare to take his time. He activated his Power of Heaven and Earth and immediately started flying. His Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand, and he used it to hit the sand and mud underneath him. He was burrowing underground.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He kept advancing, alerting more and more yellow sand worms. The little beast did not even move. The little horn on its head just flashed golden, and the yellow sand worms came under its control, joining the huge army of yellow sand worms behind Jiang Yi.

One thousand, three thousand… five thousand!

Jiang Yi waited for the army of yellow sand worms behind him to reach about five thousand. Then, he immediately charged upwards, his eyes filled with killing intent. He kept shouting in an anxious tone, “Old Xiao, hang in there! You must hang in there!”
