Chapter 492: One Mistake is Followed by Many More!

“Jiang Yi!”

Looking at the red-haired young man walking towards here slowly, Ling Xue twitched her mouth slightly; and a trace of pain and loss flickered through her eyes.

Once upon a time, she also had a dream.

That was to find a boy who was unparalleled in this world. She would be at his side; he, at hers. Two of them would travel around the world.

She started to notice Jiang Yi when he became the champion at the Kingdom War, but she just tried to buy his support back then. Later, when Jiang Yi betrayed the Divine Martial Kingdom, she started to admire him. He dared to do nothing that no one else dared; he was a true hero.

Which maiden did not have a dream?

Although Ling Xue carried the mission of revitalizing the Azure Dragon Empire and bore the expectation of Ling Clan’s ancestors and her King father, she was still a girl.

Every girl had fantasies about heroes. Jiang Yi was undoubtedly the greatest hero in this era.

He was champion at the Kingdom War and the traitor to the Divine Martial Kingdom. He fought against a Kingdom by himself, wreaked havoc in the Great Xia Kingdom, rescued the little fox, prevented common folk’s sufferings, and fought against the Six Factions and one million troops on his own.

There were too many stories about Jiang Yi.

Though they were enemies, Ling Xue had to admit that this god-like young man could attract any girl in this world. The rest of the young masters in this era all paled into insignificance when being compared to Jiang Yi. They were like fireflies trying to compete with the glorious moon.

Most importantly, Jiang Yi had a true-hearted soul. He didn’t hesitate to wage wars against the world for his loved one, which moved the hearts of many maidens.

At this moment, Ling Xue suddenly found herself deeply in love with this man even though… she always tried to kill him by all means in the past.

“It’s too late. Everything is too late. One mistake is followed by many more. We are in metempsychosis. Karma is always here…”

Unknowingly, Ling Xue burst into tears. She knew that she would go further away from Jiang Yi when the six factions besieged the Great Xia Kingdom. However, for the interests of the Azure Dragon Empire, she had to put aside her feelings for Jiang Yi. As a result, she realized that was the biggest mistake she made in her life.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword was already lit up, his eyes turned bloody and the killing aura pouring out of his body. He began to speed up; the Fire Dragon Sword drew an arc. A brilliant light glowed, and tens of thousands of small fire dragons whizzed towards the thousands of alliance troops in the front—with an aura that was about to destroy the earth.

Surrounded by the Massacre Intent, the soldiers in front couldn’t move at all. They had to watch the small dragons rushing towards them and drowning them in the sea of fire.

Pong! Pong! Pong!

Explosions broke out, shattering one body after another—which turned into a rain of fire spurting to all directions. Jiang Yi’s fire dragons were too overbearing. It would probably take more than a dozen fire dragons to kill a Soul Travel Realm Expert… but take only two or three to kill a Purple Mansion Realm Martial Expert. Even two or three fire dragons would crush their bodies. The Cast Tripod Realm Martial Artists were even weaker, one fire dragon would be sufficient to kill one.

So…

Jiang Yi’s random Dao pattern attack cleared all the soldiers in the vanguard. By estimation, at least more than 2,000 men died.

“A Vajra Realm martial expert is indeed mighty. One person sweeping off an army isn’t just empty talk. Jiang Yi is even the most powerful one. He could probably sweep of an army of one million men…”

Seeing the soldiers below easily killed by Jiang Yi, Ling Xue sighed softly in her heart. She waved her hand and whispered to a general, “Tell Hall Master Yu… if the Martial Arts Hall doesn’t come now, the alliance troops will all be slaughtered.”

Unfortunately, the information that was passed over was like the mud that sank to the sea, the Martial Arts Hall didn’t give any response.

Jiang Yi easily slaughtered the troops on his own. The morale of the Great Xia Kingdom’s soldiers was boosted greatly because of Jiang Yi. In contrast, the morale of the alliance army dropped to the bottom. If it was not for Ling Xue and the generals on the city wall, many soldiers might start to flee now.

Jiang Yi wandered outside the city easily. He went where the alliance army was, released the Massacre Intent, and gave the Fire Dragon Sword a swing. He could easily take away thousands of heads every time. Killing was as easy as cutting straws.

Two hours!

In only two hours, hundreds of thousands of men died in the alliance army. This was even before Jiang Yi started to attack the city. If he broke the wall for his troops to go straight in. The battlefront would be lengthened, and probably more would die.

It wasn’t that Jiang Yi didn’t want to attack the city. He had been navigating with his divine senses. Just now, he sensed that Ling Xue sent a general to the Martial Arts Hall inside the city. He was still waiting for the Martial Arts Hall to make their move, but nothing happened after waiting for two hours!

“Continue killing!”

His divine senses constantly swept towards the sky. Xiao Longwang and Sha Di were frightened. They didn’t dare to use all their strengths and had to beware of him all the time. Revealing a trace of a smile, Jiang Yi continued the massacre. Would the Martial Arts Hall wait until all the one million soldiers were killed?

The unknown enemy was the most dangerous one!

Jiang Yi responded to the chaos with silence and waited for the opponent to strike first. He could afford to wait anyway, but the alliance army couldn’t.

“General Xiao, dispatch more to keep the attack going!”

Ling Xue was also helpless. They put all their hope on the Martial Arts Hall and couldn’t do anything without the Martial Arts Hall. They had to keep the difficult battle going even if it would cost all their men. Otherwise, the Empire would fall when the army breached the city.

What is the Martial Arts Hall thinking?

Ling Xue’s head was full of questions. Would the Martial Arts Hall sacrifice all the one million soldiers before they take actions? Or… the Martial Arts Hall was waiting for both her and Jiang Yi to suffer great losses, and so it could strike, kill all of them, and dominate the world?

“That’s not possible. If the Martial Arts Hall wants to unite the continent, it could accomplish it many times in history. For example, ten thousand years ago, the Martial Arts Chief Hall Master by then reached the Heaven Monarch Realm. I’m afraid he could sweep off the continent, just by himself.”

Ling Xue’s pretty eyebrows furrowed. She knew a lot of secrets in history. Still, she had even more doubts. The Martial Arts Hall was so mysterious that no one really knew about its background.

Just like this…

The troops constantly rushing from Stellarsky City continued to be slaughtered by Jiang Yi and the Great Xia Kingdom’s soldiers. There was a boundless empty field outside Stellarsky City and was about to be covered by dead bodies by now. Over 300,000 men died on the alliance army side, and nearly 100,000 men died on the side of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Blood accumulated into a river and stained the ground red. Even the air was filled with the scent of blood.

This kind of bloody smell could bring up the evil in the hearts of martial artists, making the two sides more murderous. The night grew late, but the battle was getting more and more brutal.

This great fight went on from yesterday morning to the next. Jiang Yi had been fighting all night and had a great victory. He, alone, killed at least one hundred thousand men. Besides, the spirits of the Great Xia Kingdom troops were surging because of him, which suppressed the opponent’s morale. The casualties in the alliance army increased exponentially.

At the dawn of the second day…

More than half of the alliance troops were dead or injured; there were more than 200,000 casualties in the Great Xia Kingdom. In other words, just in one day and one night, about 700,000 were forever left outside Stellarsky City.

War was so cruel. As the rule said the words—tens of thousands of men would go to the battlefield and lose their lives there.

“That’s about it!”

Looking at the exhausted soldiers behind him and the alliance army whose spirits were lowered to the extreme, Jiang Yi suddenly disappeared.

There was no action from the Martial Arts Hall, and nothing abnormal inside the city, and so he finally decided to strike and kill Xiao Longwang and Sha Di. As soon as the two died, Stellarsky City could be taken immediately!
