Chapter 1618: Are You Guys Not Afraid of Death?

“It is indeed very well hidden!”

The trio walked upstream along the river and entered a cave. The river was gushing forward from that cave; it actually looked like a fountain. If one did not pay attention, who would have noticed it?

Furthermore, heading into the cave for tens of kilometers, they still found nothing. There wasn’t a sliver of light inside, and divine senses could not be used; normal people would have left the cave early on already, right?

It was actually easy for Poison Spirit to find this entrance. He had followed the tracks left behind by the young masters and young mistresses that had entered. Poison Spirit’s tracking abilities were legendary. No detail too small could escape from his eyes while that bunch of young masters and young mistresses would definitely have left some traces behind.

“It is just up ahead.”

After traveling for another few kilometers, Poison Spirit informed them. Jiang Yi took out his Fire Dragon Sword and sent out tens of Sword Emanations Race beings. Qi Qingchen took out her red flexible sword as their battle armors surfaced, and they got ready to enter.

“Wait!”

At the entrance, Jiang Yi’s ring lit up as he brought out a headless long spear and black battle armor that he gave to Poison Spirit and Qi Qingchen respectively. He told them, “Refine this weapon and battle armor. Poison Spirit, you do not like battle armor; Qi Qingchen, I will give it to you then.”

“Uh?”

Qi Qingchen and Poison Spirit exchanged a glance, slightly stunned. Jiang Yi had actually given Heavenly King You’s Headless Spear and that King-Ranked formidable martial artist that had been burned to death’s Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor to them? He had even said he was giving these items to them.

“Young Lord, I cannot take this!”

Poison Spirit said very firmly. Qi Qingchen also shook her head and said, “This is not something I had earned and fought for. Actually, my clan has Primitive Spiritual Treasures as well. I wanted to train and gain experience and had rejected Majesty Father when he wanted to give me one before. Jiang Yi, keep it, please.”

“What situation are we in now?”

Jiang Yi glared at them and said, “Stop hemming and hawing; I have a feeling that we’re in for a bitter fight on the second level. I am but temporarily lending these items to you guys. If you two do not want them, you can return them to me later on.”

“Very well then.”

Qi Qingchen did not reject further; she could give it back to Jiang Yi later on anyway. She felt that she had now become Jiang Yi’s burden; Jiang Yi had not even released her out during the last battle. Poison Spirit thought about it for a while and finally did not reject the weapon as well. The two swiftly injected their heavenly powers and refined the weapon and battle armor respectively while Jiang Yi stood guard nearby.

Since the owners of these two items had perished, there wasn’t any mental imprint on them. After about two hours, the two items were easily refined. Jiang Yi then controlled his tens of Sword Emanations Race beings and ordered them to rush forward. In a white flash, they disappeared into a dark entrance ahead. Jiang Yi gestured as he shouted, “Let’s go!”

The three were fully-armored and equipped as they rushed forward. A white light flashed as they appeared within a lake. Once they appeared, the hairs on their bodies stood up as Qi Qingchen glanced ahead to the left and shouted, “Evade!”

Swish! Swish!

To the left, two screeching, air-splitting sounds rang out as two figures flew forward. Their long spears were like two dragons as they shot towards Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen. The Sword Emanations Race beings that Jiang Yi had sent over had long been destroyed.

Buzz!

Poison Spirit had immediately concealed himself and left as Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword hacked at one of the long spears and streaks of red light shot forward. He had released his baneful aura.

“Clean-Sweeping Hurricane!”

Qi Qingchen released her wind-element laws as the water in the lake started to toss and turn as wind dragons congealed and merged with the water, turning into wind-water dragons. They funneled towards the other long spear.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort rang out. That long spear did not pause at all as it furiously struck Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword, and a huge force of energy surged forward. The Fire Dragon Sword was parried aside as Jiang Yi’s entire arm grew numb; he felt as if he couldn’t control it anymore. He had actually already used his Power of Heaven and Earth, and this was the result. If he hadn’t, his entire arm would have been pulverized.

Bang!

That spear’s speed was so fast and pierced Jiang Yi’s chest. As Qi Qingchen was near him, Jiang Yi did not dare to release the six-colored burning flames. He only flashed them out for a second to send a hot wave towards the enemy. Although he couldn’t unleash them fully, he could at least scare the enemy, right?

As expected!

After that man sent his long spear piercing into Jiang Yi’s chest, he immediately retreated; his eyes were filled with surprise. The moment that flame had flashed, the lake water had evaporated as white steam rose and visibility deteriorated. However, he could still see Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen being heavily knocked backward.

Pong-pong!

Two crisp sounds rang out as Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen spat out mouthfuls of blood as their bodies were sent flying quickly. Although that King-Ranked formidable martial artist had not been able to exert his full strength and Jiang Yi had Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor, he was still injured. Similarly, although Qi Qingchen had released her wind-element laws, she still had not managed to block that formidable martial artist’s attack. If it wasn’t for the Primitive Spiritual Treasure that Jiang Yi had given her, her chest would have probably been pierced already.

“Poison Spirit, retreat—”

Jiang Yi understood the Art of Concealment and could sense Poison Spirit’s position. He realized that Poison Spirit was about to head forward and assassinate as Jiang Yi hurriedly asked him to stop. Poison Spirit’s body flashed as he floated far away in retreat; he did not question Jiang Yi’s commands at all.

Swish!

From afar, two men speedily chased, their eyes like savage beasts. Jiang Yi flew towards Qi Qingchen and immediately kept her inside his Chaos Essence Pearl. He then stood upright and stared at the two incoming opponents. Jiang Yi said, “Are you guys not afraid of death?”

A flame appeared in Jiang Yi’s hands as it flashed and disappeared once more. The lake water around suddenly evaporated as water vapor rose. A ten-thousand-feet radius was cleared around Jiang Yi. The two enemies paused as they stood ten thousand feet away from Jiang Yi; they were hesitating.

It was obvious!

The two were King-Ranked bodyguards for the great family clans’ young masters and young mistresses. They were standing guard here obviously to stop Jiang Yi and company from entering the second level.

As long as they stood guard here, no one would be able to enter and their young masters and young mistresses would be safe. Furthermore, this was not only the entrance… but also the exit. Those who exited from here would not head back to the first level, but be instantly teleported out of the Demon-Killing Palace.

The two had not thought that Jiang Yi would successfully enter this second level. It had been a wise choice for Jiang Yi to send some Sword Emanations Race beings ahead first. If not, once the three of them appeared, they would have been attacked without even having the chance to take out their weapons; they might have been severely wounded.

Jiang Yi’s burning flames could burn King-Ranked formidable martial artists to death; there were only two of them here while Jiang Yi even had a King-Ranked formidable martial artist on his side. At this moment, the two King-Ranked formidable martial artists hesitated; and they stood there unmoving.

“We have to leave this place fast; if not, more formidable martial artists would surround and kill us.”

Jiang Yi decided as his eyes shifted, and he actually moved forward, the burning flames appearing in his hands periodically. He sent Sword Emanations Race beings continuously out from the Wintry Pearl as he flew forward and said, “Since you guys are not retreating, then I will have no choice but to fight you two to the death. Come! Even if I die, I will drag you two along as well!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Sword Emanations Race beings filled the sky and soared forward while the burning flames appeared in Jiang Yi’s hands again and sent heat waves surging forward. Even the Sword Emanations Race beings nearby began to catch fire. The two King-Ranked formidable martial artists were stunned for a moment as they watched the advancing Jiang Yi and hesitated even more.

Swish! Swish!

At this moment, the two suddenly heard an air-splitting sound behind them. They turned and saw a sky filled with figures. Poison Spirit—who had been using the Art of Concealment—had resurfaced and activated his clones. Every one of them was holding onto a Headless Spear; its Primitive Spiritual Treasure aura was extremely terrifying. The two instinctively flinched as they then hurriedly launched their attacks.

“Something isn’t right…”

The duo’s attacks easily destroyed Poison Spirit’s clones. The two hurriedly turned back and saw that Jiang Yi had actually vanished. The Sword Emanations Race beings, however, filled the skies; and there was movement everywhere. They couldn’t find where Jiang Yi had fled to at all.

“Retreat!”

With the situation unclear and since they could no longer lock onto Jiang Yi, the two naturally did not want to risk their lives. If Jiang Yi came close and unleashed his burning flames, they would probably be burned to death.

The two fought as they retreated, killing all the Sword Emanations Race beings. When they finally took out their Mercury Stones to check the surroundings, they couldn’t find Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit anymore.

“Go and report to Young Master Feng and Young Mistress Gongyang.”

The two searched for a moment to no avail; they could only fly away to report to their masters. Now that Jiang Yi had entered the second level, he would definitely encounter Young Master Dao Feng, Young Mistress Gongyang, and the others. The two had to report the situation back immediately.
