Fury Towards The Burning Heaven
chapter-68

Four tokens obtained. Robbery is truly a lucrative profession!

Within the rock formation, Jiang Yi was traversing speedily after he obtained the three tokens from the two youths and adding on the previous black-colored token. In just a short moment, he obtained four tokens. He even got two bottles of earth-tier recuperation elixirs and a few dozen taels of purple gold. Jiang Yi didn’t take the artifacts from the duo, but it wasn’t because he was softhearted. It was because he was used to his Green Destiny Sword, and carrying along two swords was actually a burden.

“Sigh…”

As he sprinted, Jiang Yi sighed softly as he recalled that Ji Tingyu once advised him to keep a low profile during the Blood Purge. If he was to unintentionally offend an esteemed clansman or a related member to a current cadet, it would be rather troublesome. But who knew that as soon as he arrived at the mountain, he had begun battle; and it was after some intentional suppression. If it was as per his normal temperament, those two would probably be crawling down the mountain.

Along the way, Jiang Yi quickly met another demonic beast. It was also a python, but it was obviously less vicious than the previous one. Jiang Yi spent just 15 minutes to easily obtain another token.

Moments later, Jiang Yi emerged from the rock formation, and the topography changed into a patch of forest. Jiang Yi took a few steps in and quickly exited it in a hurry.

Mainly because straight ahead within the forest was a group of demonic beasts. It was that type of wild boar demonic beasts. With a quick glance, there were at least seven of them. These wild boar demonic beasts might not be the best in strength; neither were they fast. But Jiang Yi didn’t dare be reckless with such numbers. The spikes on these demonic wild boars’ back had a terrifying penetrative ability which was still clear in Jiang Yi’s memories.

What should I do? Should I give up? There are eight tokens there though!

Jiang Yi squatted by the rock formation and strategized. If he went ahead, there might be a possibility that he would be severely injured or even dead. If he didn’t take action, it would be such a pity to give up after discovering such a large group of demonic beasts.

“I’ll just do it!”

Jiang Yi clenched his teeth and went an entire round within the rock formation before entering the forest!

“Bang!”

He lied down on an ancient tree and shot a piece of stone at the demonic wild boar which was sleeping peacefully on the ground. That wild boar immediately opened its cold eyes and let out a few odd snorts while looking around. The nearby wild boars which were also taking a nap—all got alarmed and began to search for the enemy.

Jiang Yi’s body shrank and didn’t move an inch while holding his breath. He knew clearly that if he was to reveal himself now, this ancient tree that he was hiding on would probably be uprooted by these demonic wild boars.

He stretched out his head to take a peek after a moment. He could see that three of the demonic wild boars had already let down their guard and went back to continue their nap. There were still five more wild boars which were still casually strolling around. He let out a breath of relief and took out another piece of stone, throwing it to the west.

“Bang!”

With a rustle coming from the west, it alerted those five wild boars, as they looked coldly over there and rushed over.

The luring of the enemy is a success!

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. Waiting for those five wild boars to leave, he picked up another piece of stone and viciously threw it at the three sleeping wild boars. He concurrently leaped down the ancient tree and rushed into the rock formation.

“Hu-Hu!”

Within Jiang Yi’s expectation, the three wild boars swiftly chased after him. As soon as he entered the rock formations, they had already caught up.

“Boom!”

The three wild boars rammed in a straight line, just like three city carriages. As two of them were having such a great speed, their tusks directly crashed onto the rocks. Two explosions echoed as those two rocks actually got smashed into pieces. The two wild boars emerged from the rock powder and dashed towards Jiang Yi.

Come on, come on… I am over here.

Jiang Yi turned around to look at the wild boars with provocative eyes. He even gestured for the wild boars to charge at him before routing to the back of a rock.

“Hu-Hu!”

These three wild boars were completely infuriated as they charged in unison. Six tusks rammed straight into the rock that Jiang Yi hid behind. The large impact smashed the giant boulder into smithereens, causing the surrounding ground to shake a little.

However!

Once the dust settled, they saw Jiang Yi’s figure appeared in front of another giant boulder, gesturing at them to charge him before swiftly hiding behind that giant boulder again.

“Boom-Boom-Boom!”

Jiang Yi repeated his provocations, and the wild boars repeatedly smashed those boulders into smithereens. Jiang Yi never once clashed head-on with them and had always guided them around the rock formations, using the countless boulders to avoid and evade them.

Thirty minutes later, the rock formations were in a pathetic mess. At least a few dozen boulders got crushed, and the three wild boars were now out of breath; it was obvious that their stamina was drastically depleted.

Jiang Yi didn’t guide them around anymore and relied on his insane reaction speed and countless rock shards to circle them instead. He then left streaks of slash wounds on their body with his Green Destiny Sword, never once indulging in a battle.

“Ku-Ku!”

Soon enough, the three wild boars were bursting with anger as they all let out long roars before unleashing their demonic arts. The spikes on their backs shot out like tens of thousands of arrows in all directions.

Three more tokens are in my grasp now!

Jiang Yi’s body somersaulted as he took cover behind a giant boulder. After evading the demonic arts, he saw three bleeding and frail demonic beasts, he couldn’t help but giggle.

He now had more experience to battle against demonic beasts. These demonic arts might have the power to kill a martial artist at the eighth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm, but a demonic beast was still a beast. Due to their low intelligence, simply applying a suitable strategy would mean that they could be easily hunted down.

But the firepower of these demonic arts still gave a shock to Jiang Yi because these were just tier-one demonic beasts? What if it was tier-two, tier-three, tier-four or even a transformed demonic beast king or emperor? How much more formidable would it be? Wouldn’t their demonic art be able to level an entire small city?

After killing these three demonic beasts and obtaining three pieces of tokens, Jiang Yi didn’t take any rest and immediately headed towards the forest again. He prepared to lure the five other demonic wild boars to the rock formation and wanted to slay all of them. He would then end up with a total of twelve tokens.

“Eh?”

Who knew that after he explored the forest, he couldn’t find the five wild boars earlier? He doubtfully went deeper into the forest and finally found the five wild boars after some time.

But… three of the five wild boars were already lying on the ground. The other two were covered in wounds and were locked in battle with a young lady that covered her face in a black scarf and wore a black robe.

Ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. This young lady’s strength is comparable to Ji Tingyu.

Jiang Yi hid behind a shrub and could see that this young lady was equipped with a black long sword. He gasped in surprise when he noticed that she was going through this intense battle with unyielding fearlessness. Her body figure was on par with the Yi Lingxue’s great figure; her face was covered with the black scarf but had a pair of beautiful eyes. Her maneuvers were brilliant—attack speed was fast as lightning—and she took just a few blinks of the eye to slay the two wild boars before they had the chance to execute their demonic arts.

Wretched luck!

Jiang Yi felt rather anguished but didn’t think of snatching those tokens. He wasn’t afraid of the young lady, but he wasn’t used to doing things that invited trouble. What’s more, the target was a young girl; how could he take action?

“Swish!”

When Jiang Yi was about to withdraw from this area, five shadows darted out from the other side. All of them were holding the same red-colored crossbows; they had been eyeing on the black-robed young lady from afar. One of them said coldly, “Lass, I shall take these five tokens. If you better get lost now if you know what is good for you. Or else, our crossbow bolts don’t have any eyes and may probably hit you.”

Dog sh*t!

Jiang Yi cursed while thinking why the world was cluttered with these domineering scumbags that bullied people. But he didn’t think of saving a damsel in distress. He quickly hid in the back as two of these five scumbags were at the ninth stage of the Cast Tripod Realm. What’s more, those shining red crossbows in their hands were obviously artifacts that had astounding fatal power.

“Young Master, why are you speaking so much nonsense to her? This chick has an alluring body, why not… take her down and let us have some fun?”

Jiang Yi, who retreated tens of feet away, suddenly stopped; his eyes instantly turned ice-cold. It was normal to snatch tokens during the Blood Purge. It was still fine if five big men snatched tokens from a young lady, but they wanted to commit such an atrocious act?
