Chapter 1496: Devilish Charm Beast

Roar! Roar!

They had just entered five kilometers into the valley when a roar sounded ahead, and countless Netherworld Realm beings swarmed forward from the black fog. They mainly comprised zombie kings, three-headed monsters, and small-sized skeletal giants. This time, a new type of monster had appeared: batmen. These bats were extremely fast, and poisonous smoke spewed from their mouths as they shrieked an ear-piercing scream.

The Fire Phoenix Army had no problems dealing with these low-grade Netherworld Envoys; it was just like chopping chives as the Netherworld Envoys were swept clean and killed. Qi Qingchen didn’t even bother attacking while Di Ling’er held onto a high-grade seal stone to record the battle proceedings to aid in distributing battle merits later on. This seal stone needed to be submitted to the Demon-Buster Army headquarters as proof.

Jiang Yi also didn’t attack; these low-grade Netherworld Envoys did not require his assistance yet. Poison Spirit also refrained from attacking; his responsibility was protecting Jiang Yi and Di Ling’er. The army moved ahead as they cleansed the area of Netherworld Envoy as they went. Within one hour, tens of thousands of Netherworld Envoys had been killed; and Netherworld Generals finally started to appear ahead.

Jek-jek!

Noises that seemed to originate from ferocious ghosts rang out as a few gusts of ominous winds floated forward; a few figures could vaguely be seen within the winds. They were flashing with light, and their speed was very fast. Wave after wave of demonic, icy-cold aura traveled forward and made Jiang Yi tensed in an instant. This was the aura that only Netherworld Generals possessed.

“What are these demonic beings?”

Jiang Yi sent a voice transmission to Poison Spirit. The latter explained, “This is a rather high-level Netherworld Realm being. It is called the Devilish Charm Beast. The Devilish Charm Beasts specialize in soul spirit attacks. Please be careful, young lord.”

“Soul spirit attacks?”

Jiang Yi immediately relaxed. He was the least afraid of soul spirit attacks. Even a Netherworld King’s clone could not demonize him; what did he have to fear from these Netherworld Generals? On the other side, Qi Qingchen had still not entered the fray. However, she shouted, “Change formation! Fiery Fire Formation!”

The hundred-odd Fire Phoenix Army soldiers had been practicing their drills for a long time. Countless figures flew about as they changed their formation instantly. A-dozen-odd formidable martial artists formed the vanguard and released all sorts of fiery flames that funneled forward to attack the five ghostly beings.

“The Devilish Charm Beast is most fearful of burning flames; once it gets close to flames, it would be revealed and can be easily killed!”

Poison Spirit sent another voice transmission to Jiang Yi to explain as Jiang Yi nodded silently and was utterly reassured. He still had some merged flames on him; if he released them, he could probably deal a heavy blow to these Devilish Charm Beasts, right?

Chu-chu!

As expected, after the burning flames shot forward, five ghostly figures were revealed as they let out ear-splitting cries. Jiang Yi also finally got a good look at the Devilish Charm Beasts bodies. They were a very frail and small type of monster; it seemed as if they were only left with their skin and bones. Their backs were upright, and they looked extremely ugly. They had three eyes that were bloodshot one and all.

Swish!

Five Devilish Charm Beasts flashed at the same time and charged forward at the Fire Phoenix Army at a frightening speed. Black light shot forward from their eyes and into the minds of the five men right in front.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Tens of soldiers locked onto the five Devilish Charm Beasts and attacked them as the sky became turbulent with shooting stars beaming towards them. These creatures’ defensive abilities were rather weak; after a few strikes, they were turned into a fine powder.

“Give those soldiers the Demon-Buster Elixir to prevent demonization. All others are to continue forward!”

Qi Qingchen’s voice rang out as Qi Yue and Qi Xia’s rings lit up, and they took out a few fragrant elixirs. At this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly shouted, “Wait!”

Qi Yue and Qi Xia were startled as they looked over. Qi Qingchen also glanced at Jiang Yi in surprise. She had indeed heard that Jiang Yi had many tricks up his sleeves. However, she did not know about his Xiaozhuan characters that could cleanse the Netherworld Aura yet.

Jiang Yi did not waste his breath as he shot forward and stretched a single hand, placing it on the back of one of the soldiers that had been attacked by the Devilish Charm Beast. The Xiaozhuan characters stealthily entered this soldier’s body and mind and made one round as this soldier’s eyes immediately widened as he looked at Jiang Yi in astonishment.

Swish!

Jiang Yi did not bother with him as he speedily flew towards the others that had been attacked. Within mere tens of seconds, all five soldiers’ bodies were cleansed of all the Netherworld Aura.

“Uh—”

Many people looked at Jiang Yi, stunned. They had even forgotten to attack the Netherworld Envoys. Qi Yue and Qi Xia’s eyes lit up. The Demon-Buster Elixirs were very expensive; it was only produced internally in the Demon-Buster Army and was especially useful at cleansing Netherworld Aura. Every time any army went out on assignment, they were only given a small amount of Demon-Buster Elixirs. If they wanted more, battle merits had to be used to exchange for them while a huge amount of divine roots were required just to purchase one of them. One Demon-Buster Elixir was worth a hundred thousand divine roots.

In other words, Jiang Yi’s five palm strikes on the backs of the five soldiers had been worth five hundred thousand divine roots. Furthermore, Jiang Yi’s cleansing speed was exceptionally fast. The Demon-Buster Elixirs needed at least tens of minutes to take effect and waiting for everyone to purge the Netherworld Aura in them would take almost an hour. Within this one hour, their battle strength would be severely depleted.

Buzz!

Many people’s eyes lit up as they looked at Jiang Yi differently now, without a tinge of mockery but with a burning glow. Jiang Yi’s mystical ability made him a formidable healer. They could attack without reservation and completely ignore the Netherworld Aura as they could be instantly cleansed and could regain their battle strength even if they were struck. This was the ultimate sugar daddy.

“Keke!”

Qi Qingchen gave Jiang Yi a few looks as her mouth curled, and she smiled slightly. She did not say anything but ordered, “Let’s continue the advance!”

Jiang Yi felt all the burning looks directed at him; his face did not reveal any special emotions. The previous time when the Netherworld Realm had invaded the Earth Emanations Domain, he had seen many such similar looks. He did not feel as if he was that powerful; this was all thanks to the Nameless Divine Art after all.

After advancing for another tens of kilometers, eight skeletal giants and three Devilish Charm Beasts appeared. This time, Jiang Yi did not hide his abilities anymore. He saw that Qi Qingchen did not seem keen on attacking, and he asked Poison Spirit to bring him speedily in front, near to the skeletal giants. He then released his Xiaozhuan characters as a rain of shooting stars as he slammed them into one of the skeletal giant’s body. His Fire Dragon Sword then appeared in his hand as he circulated and brought forth a merged flame before throwing it ferociously at a Devilish Charm Beast.

Seeing was believing!

The skeletal giant was struck by the Xiaozhuan characters as it let out a terrifying roar. The aura around its body grew dimmer and dimmer at a frightening speed. On the other side, that Devilish Charm Beast’s body was covered with flames; the temperature of the flames was too high, and it was mortally wounded.

“Ah?”

A few people near Jiang Yi were also scalded as they retreated quickly. Poison Spirit was alright, however. Jiang Yi had already sent a little of the Fire Spirit Pearl’s energy into Poison Spirit such that the latter was spared any agony.

“He indeed has many things up his sleeves.”

Qi Qingchen’s eyes revealed a sliver of cunningness. She had long known that Jiang Yi was not ordinary; if not, she wouldn’t have given the Inspector-General position to him. How bad could someone whom the Earth Emanations Sovereign valued highly be? Ye Sheng had even joined the Earth Emanations Sovereign in giving a title to Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi was only Yi Piaopiao’s son, Ye Sheng would probably not have done this. This General Pavilion Lord was famous for his temper.

With Jiang Yi’s assistance, this Netherworld General was destroyed rather breezily. Qi Qingchen had not even attacked once yet; these battles were still beneath her. After all the Netherworld Generals had been wiped out and Jiang Yi once again cleansed a-dozen-odd soldiers of their Netherworld Aura, the entire Fire Phoenix Army now looked at Jiang Yi in a different light and were willing to accept him. Their morale had also been raised; with Jiang Yi around, they could give their all in their attacks and did not have to be concerned with the Netherworld Aura. Their fighting would be more earnest.

“All to pay attention!”

As the army advanced fifty kilometers, Qi Qingchen’s brows knitted together as she looked into the distance. The red, flexible sword in her hands lit up as she said rather seriously, “All Netherworld Generals have been sent out. Jiang Yi, come back. Do not attack first. Protect our rear and then complement us in exterminating them!”
