Chapter 1652: You Forced Me Into This

Dao Leng’s aura was too strong. Before Jiang Yi even spotted him, his aura already enveloped Jiang Yi and suppressed him so much so that he could hardly breathe. He felt a light killing intent lock in on him. It felt almost like he had nowhere left to run.

Teleport? He did not know how to activate the Teleportation Formation.

Run? Could he break through the layers of defense and hide? The sound of people flying through the air echoed throughout the surroundings. Without a doubt, more King-Ranked martial artists were on their way. Given Dao Leng’s speed, would Jiang Yi be able to outrun him?

It was not like Jiang Yi to sit back and wait to die. Crazily, he activated his Power of Heaven and Earth and steered the mummy towards the south. Dao Leng’s voice was coming from the north. What’s more, the terrifying aura felt like it was coming from there as well.

“Trying to flee?!”

Seven or eight more figures were flying towards him from the south. One of them gave him a chilling smile. A little stone appeared in his palm. At top speed, the stone grew to become more than three kilometers wide. It became as big as a mountain and started to fall down towards Jiang Yi and the mummy, threatening to crush them.

Boom!

The entire Ethereal Spirit Island shook. After the giant stone it them, it ascended back up into the sky once again. Then, it crushed them once more. Jiang Yi was just about to run away when he got crushed by the stone again. Although he had the Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure—the Heavenly Wind Armor—on, many of his bones still broke on impact. The mummy, too, was being knocked into the ground. The good thing was that it was not in the least bit injured or hurt.

The huge stone crushed them ten times before it returned to its owner. Jiang Yi then steered the mummy to continue advancing forward. Just as they began to run, however, three huge handprints appeared in front of them. They did not attack Jiang Yi; instead, they created vigorous turbulence in the spatial zone so that the mummy would be significantly slower!

A cold voice was heard. It shook Jiang Yi to his very soul. Then, the sky lit up with three-colored light. The light was too bright. Even the thick clouds could not block off its intensity. The three-colored light looked like divine light coming from the Nine Heaven Stars. In a blink of an eye, the light reached Jiang Yi’s eyes. It was only then that Jiang Yi realized it was sword light.

This was no ordinary sword light. It was obvious that it carried with it three crucial powers: destruction, darkness, and death. Jiang Yi had seen a sword light like this before: Dao Feng’s Merged Quintessence!

It was obvious that this sword light contained Merged Quintessence as well. What’s more, it was formed from three different Quintessences. The sword light was still kilometers away when Jiang Yi felt its killing intent lock in on him. It was almost as if hit was threatening to cut his entire body into two pieces.

“Mummy, block!”

Jiang Yi shouted in a low voice. He wanted to make the mummy turn around to block him from this attack. However, at that moment, a realization dawned on Jiang Yi. This blow seemed to be coming from the south. Such a terrifying attack could only be dealt by the Pseudo Thearch-Ranked Dao Leng. Wasn’t Dao Leng in the north? How could he attack from the south?

At that moment between life and death, the cogs in Jiang Yi’s mind turned rapidly. At last, he decided to trust his gut and make the mummy stay still, pulling Jiang Yi close. Then, he closed his eyes and felt around. In his heart, he rejoiced.

A similar three-colored sword light was coming at him from behind. However, there was no terrifying aura around this sword light. It looked just like a three-colored cloud; there was not a single threat of death that came along with it.

It’s definitely a killer move from behind.

A thought surfaced in Jiang Yi’s mind. Indeed… there was a sword light coming at him from the front as well. It shot right through Jiang Yi and the mummy’s bodies. However, the sword light behind struck the mummy’s back harshly. A huge, terrifying aura traveled through the mummy and enveloped Jiang Yi.

“Uh?”

Immediately, Jiang Yi was disoriented. He could not hear a single sound. Instead, the terrifying aura shook him so that his soul spirit trembled as well. He nearly passed out right then and there.

Bang!

An earth-shaking voice echoed throughout the island, accompanied by a frightening aura. The few King-Ranked martial artists near Jiang Yi immediately retreated. At the same time, the mummy was knocked backward towards the south.

“This…”

Many people were astonished. First, Jiang Yi had clearly wanted to change the mummy’s direction. At last, however, he managed to see right through Dao Feng’s famous finishing move, the Mirror Sword Light. Second, the mummy’s defense was strange as well. Despite withstanding such a formidable blow, the mummy’s back only suffered… a superficial wound. There was a large gash on the mummy’s back, but not a single bone of his was broken!

“This must be the refined mummy of one of the strongest martial artists in the Mighty God Race!”

Many people’s eyes lit up. They had only ever heard of a mummy like that but had never gotten to see one. It was no wonder that killing King-Ranked martial artists was as easy for it as killing a bunch of ants. It was no wonder that it could tear through Primitive Spiritual Treasures. It could even withstand an attack from Dao Leng. This huge mummy must be the strongest in history.

It was a pity that the mummy’s owner was too weak. He was not even a King-Ranked martial artist. If Jiang Yi was more powerful, this mummy would be an awesome shield and puppet. It would be able to assist him in battle so that he could be undefeatable.

Dao Leng’s eyes glinted as he flew over from afar. If he could obtain this mummy, his battle skills would increase at least by thirty percent. In his eyes, Jiang Yi was like a grasshopper in a trap; there was no way he could escape.

“You still want to attack?”

The next moment, his expression flickered. The mummy was thrown backward by several kilometers after just one strike from him. At the same time, several King-Ranked martial artists were running towards it. Jiang Yi suddenly summoned flames, which seriously injured three of these King-Ranked martial artists. Jiang Yi was using the mummy and starting to attack once again.

“Ah…”

The mummy struck one of the King-Ranked martial artists with its claw, causing a huge hole to appear in his chest. The man’s divine core had been destroyed, causing him to cry out in anguish. The remaining two people were knocked back harshly by the mummy as well. One of their heads exploded while another was seriously injured. In a blink of an eye, two more King-Ranked martial artists were dead.

It was common for King-Ranked martial artists to die in battle. Each year, a significant number of King-Ranked martial artists would die in the Higher Domain. However, most of those King-Ranked martial artists died while fighting the Netherworld Race. They were brave and righteous. To have a few of them die at Jiang Yi’s hands hurt Dao Leng’s heart.

Swish!

He was traveling as fast as he could towards Jiang Yi. In fact, his speed was double that of the mummy’s. As he charged towards them, he roared, “Everyone, retreat!”

Buzz!

Behind him, a sky-blue battle sword appeared. His sword was not hidden in his interspatial ring. Instead, it was kept in a scabbard attached to his back.

He was the third most powerful man in the Dao Clan. He was tall, broad, and more charming than the average man. He was also dressed in sky-blue battle armor and looked very handsome. Even though he was a middle-aged man, his poise and mannerisms invoked fear in many.

Swish!

A few King-Ranked martial artists in the distance immediately moved back in terror. All of them knew that Dao Leng was going to deal his best attack. They feared that if they remained too close, they would perish along with Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was going to be killed for sure!

“Wait!”

At that moment, Jiang Yi made the mummy stop in midair. He even caused it to turn around. Facing Dao Leng, Jiang Yi shouted, “You are Dao Leng, right? Wait, I have something to say…”

Dao Leng immediately retracted his attack and halted where he was. As the third most powerful man of the Dao Clan, he indeed acted differently. He did not try to kill Jiang Yi by surprise. Instead, he said nonchalantly, “Jiang Yi, say your final words, in case others think that I am merciless.”

“Must it come to this?”

Jiang Yi asked expressionlessly. “If Dao Feng had not come after me first, I would not have killed him. I have never been one to look for trouble, but I have also never been one to back away from trouble. If you cannot kill me this time, I swear I will come back and massacre your entire Dao Clan. If you let me go back to the Earth Domain, I will owe your Dao Clan a favor. “How does that sound?”

“Hahahaha!”

Dao Leng laughed maniacally. The martial artists standing around also grinned mockingly. Who did Jiang Yi think he was? Who cared for any favors he might owe? Jiang Yi aside, even if the Green Eagle King were in his position, Dao Leng would have killed him all the same.

“I’m sorry, since you killed Feng’er, you’ve been destined to die.”

The sky-blue battle sword in Dao Leng’s hand lit up as killing intent emitted from his body. The next moment, however, his expression changed again. He roared in anger, “Jiang Yi, do you dare?!”

The mummy under Jiang Yi’s body disappeared, and a hexagonal jade token appeared in his hand. He crushed it at once, and his body disappeared. Before it did, he said, “Dao Leng, you forced me to do this. I am going to massacre your entire Dao Clan now. Even if I die, I must bring the tens of thousands of people in the Dao Clan down with me…”

Jiang Yi had crushed Dao Feng’s Divine Escape Talisman and teleported to the Heaven Domain!
