Chapter 1620: He Nongying

“Kill you?”

Hearing this shameful words caused Jiang Yi’s expression to change at once. This little lass was being so rude to him? She looked like such a gentle, young woman at first so Jiang Yi did not have any thoughts about snatching from her. Hearing these words, however, angered him.

“Hmph!”

Before he could react, Qi Qingchen beside him tutted heavily. It was not up to her whether to snatch or not. This was happening because of her. Of course, she was not happy that this little lass was mocking Jiang Yi.

The main reason for her reaction, however, was the innate pride she had. This beautiful woman also seemed to be looking down on them. This alone made Qi Qingchen uncomfortable. If the young mistress had not been so rude, perhaps Qi Qingchen would have kept quiet. However, at that moment, Qi Qingchen laughed mirthlessly and glared at the young mistress in the eyes as she said, “This young mistress seems to be quite arrogant. How about you try killing us?”

Buzz!

Before Qi Qingchen could finish speaking, the young lady in the orange-yellow dress lifted her silver bow which began to glow. It was several times brighter than it looked before. The bow emitted a formidable aura, causing both Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen’s expressions to change. This bow was not a Primitive Spiritual Treasure, but a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure.

Swish!

Silver light shot out of the bow. It did not split into millions of beams but remained as one strong beam. Yet, it looked even scarier this way.

Like a swordfish cutting through calm waters and causing countless ripples, cracks began to appear in the air one by one as the silver light cut through it. All around, the space was being torn apart. Cracks that resembled spider webs appeared. The light had been more than three kilometers away a while ago, but in a blink of an eye, it was right in front of Qi Qingchen.

Jiang Yi already reacted before the light beam appeared. He retrieved his Chaos Essence Pearl and sent Qi Qingchen in. However, Qi Qingchen objected. She did not want to go into his spatial divine item. All he could do was shout, “Qingchen, stop resisting, trust me!”

At the final moment, Qi Qingchen chose to trust Jiang Yi. Perhaps she had become used to taking Jiang Yi’s orders during this time. Her body turned into a stream of light, and she disappeared into his Chaos Essence Pearl.

As expected…!

Unsurprisingly to Jiang Yi, a terrifying killing intent rolled out towards him. In his heart, he knew that he was facing life-threatening danger. Qi Qingchen was gone. The beam of light locked in on him as the next possible target.

He did not run away. Even if he ran to the end of the earth, the light would still hit him. What’s more, this beam of light was traveling extremely quickly. There was no way he could run. All he could do was fight it.

“Fire Dragon Sword, it is up to you now!”

Jiang Yi’s last shred of hope was the Fire Dragon Sword. Back then, he depended on the Fire Dragon Sword to fend off the North Thearch’s spear. This time, if the Fire Dragon Sword fell apart because of this beam of light—even with the jade-white armor and a more-than-hundred-times-stronger body, he would still be killed.

Swish!

His gaze turned icy like a beast’s and locked in on the silver light shooting towards him. As hard as he could, he struck it with his Fire Dragon Sword. The Fire Dragon Sword clashed with the silver light.

Bang!

There was a loud crash. Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. The Fire Dragon Sword did not break into pieces. However, he did get thrown back by a huge force. All the bones in his arm were broken, and his entire right arm was crippled. His body had been thrown backward, but only by three kilometers. The beam of light rebounded back towards him again, landing harshly on his chest.

Crack!

The jade-white armor did not crack. Jiang Yi could clearly hear the sound of his bones falling apart. It sounded just like a copper mirror being broken. All the bones in his chest were broken. His internal organs were also seriously injured. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and a huge pain surged through his chest. His vision began to tunnel, and he felt like he was going to pass out at any moment.

I can’t pass out. If I do, I will die!

A stubborn thought surfaced in his mind. Jiang Yi forced himself not to pass out. His body landed on a huge stone peak in the distance, causing even the stone peak to be reduced to dust. At last, he rolled a couple of times on the ground. All the muscles in his body were aching, and fresh blood was pouring out of his mouth by now. He could only breathe in, but no longer breathe out.

The young lady in orange-yellow apparel slowly flew towards Jiang Yi. From a stone peak three kilometers away from him, she surveyed him coolly. Her expression was a little strange as her little lips parted slightly. She mumbled, “He’s not dead?”

What happened next shocked her even more. Almost all the bones in Jiang Yi’s body were broken, and yet he could still struggle to climb to his feet. Each time his body moved, his entire frame would tremble. His face was already twisted in anguish, but he still managed to climb up to his feet.

His entire body was writhing, and he looked like he would collapse at any moment. His aggressive gaze fell on the young lady in the orange-yellow apparel. With blood still pouring out of his mouth, he weakly whispered, “Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure? The prestigious clans of the Heaven Domain are rich indeed. Young Mistress, didn’t you want to kill me? Keke, I think you’re still missing something.”

Jiang Yi’s voice was soft, but the young lady in orange-yellow apparel was a King-Ranked martial artist; she heard every single word loud and clear. Her expression did not even flicker. Instead, she turned to the Fire Dragon Sword stuck into the ground on the peak of the mountain. Nonchalantly, she said, “Don’t you have a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure yourself? If this sword was not a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure, it would have been broken by now. You must die!”

Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword blocked off a portion of the impact. If that sword had broken apart, Jiang Yi would have been dead by now. If a person’s bones and internal organs were all destroyed, he would be akin to a pile of mud. If his divine core and meridians were broken as well—no matter how strong he was, he would still perish.

“If you want to kill me, act now.”

Jiang Yi continued to speak with difficulty. “I, Jiang Yi, killed people from the Heaven Domain. I have no complaints if you want to take revenge on their behalf. However, my partners did not kill a single person from the Heaven Domain. Young Mistress, please allow them to live.”

“What does your killing people from the Heaven Domain have to do with me?”

The young mistress’ reply made Jiang Yi curious. She stopped attacking him and was not even trying to snatch the Fire Dragon Sword? Instead, she floated towards the mountain peak with the restrictions. At last, she sent a voice transmission to him, saying: “I only attacked because you tried to steal my treasures. Since you managed to survive that blow of mine, I’ll take it that we’re even. My name is He Nongying. If you want to take revenge in the future, find me at Lin Region.”

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi’s eyes filled with shock. Weren’t all young masters and young mistresses of the Heaven Domain unreasonable and stubborn? Why was He Nongying so reasonable? What’s more, she already recognized the Fire Dragon Sword as a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure. Yet, she did not make a move for it. Was she even here for treasures?

Swish!

The Poison Spirit floated over, holding the Fire Dragon Sword in his hand. He looked at the astonished Jiang Yi. Without saying a word, he sent Jiang Yi into his spatial divine item and escaped. He had been nearby all along, but if Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen failed to withstand that blow, he would have died as well. He knew his responsibilities very well and remained calm throughout. That was a mark of a top-tier assassin.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

He Nongying continued to attack the huge mountain, trying to break the restrictions by force. When the Poison Spirit appeared, she glanced at him. At last, she did not do anything. Instead, she continued attacking the mountain.

“The most talented man in the Earth Domain? Indeed, he is.”

After attacking for a while, He Nongying finally stopped. The corners of her lips twisted up in a mocking smile as she sighed. “But it is rare for someone to have as much guts as he does. He is much stronger than those useless young masters. Jiang Yi, if you can leave the Demon-Killing Palace alive and make it to the Heaven Domain, I will recommend you to the Lin Empress, so that she can give you a head start to a bright future.”
