Chapter 984: Rise of a Great Battle

On an ice plain that was east of the Heaven Devil Mountain, countless dwarfs were flocking over. These dwarfs might only be 60 centimeters in height, but their arms were wielding iron hammers that were much bigger than them, making them look abnormally gauche and comical. When over 100,000 dwarfs were clustered together, they looked like a whole field of ants. It was a magnificent sight.

A single signal horn from the Heaven Devil Race had mustered over 300,000 to 400,000 thousand men, and many of them were hidden underground, ready to launch sneak attacks at any time. As Mo Tian was pointing out, Jiang Yi had noticed a lot of Heaven Devil Race’s elders.

These elders were easy to recognize and were all riding unique beasts like the Heaven Devil Race’s Sacred Lady. However, their beasts were all in black and only the Sacred Lady was riding a snow-white beast.

These beasts were called Fei Lian Beast[1], and they were a native species of the snow region. They had speed like the wind and passable combat strength which was comparable to the middle-stage Heaven Monarch. It was mainly because the snow region didn’t have a lot of beasts, and so for one to ride a beast, it was a very reputable thing in the snow region. It was a symbol of strength.

The Heaven Devil Race Patriarch didn’t show himself, and it was that Sacred Lady—Mo Yao’er—leading at the front of the army. She was surrounded by a group of elders, and she was holding a black whip in her hand. She glared coldly at the approaching dwarfs with a face of disdain.

“Shorties, this is our Heaven Devil Race’s territory. Halt or we will kill without mercy!”

When the Dwarf Race was three kilometers away, Mo Yao’er brandished her whip which made a lashing sound; and she yelled out delicately. The Heaven Devil Race’s members all had sharp claws that were glowing with black lights. Their eyes were also radiating with black lights, and as soon as Mo Yao’er gave the order, they would attack.

“I am the Dwarf Race’s Third Elder, Qiu Yin!”

At the front of the Dwarf Race was a person that was slightly taller than the rest of the dwarfs. He looked particularly stalwart and was wearing white battle armor, he then shouted, “Where is the Heaven Devil Race Patriarch? Ask him to come and meet me.”

“Hur-Hur!”

Mo Yao’er sneered and responded, “Will my father see just anyone? Qiu Yin, this Young Lady has heard of you before. Why did you bring your army to invade our Heaven Devil Race’s territory? If you don’t give an explanation today, all your 100,000 over men share perish in this place.”

Qiu Yin’s crude face was filled with chilling aura. His bulging eyes widened as he burst out with a roar, “Explanation? This one is here for an explanation today. My father is already gathering an army. We three million dwarfs are armed and ready. If you don’t give our Dwarf Race an explanation today, we will go into a battle of death with your Heaven Devil Race.”

“Battle of death, battle of death!”

As Qiu Yin finished talking, all the dwarfs behind him had yelled out in unison. Their voices shook heaven and earth, causing Jiang Yi and the others’ ears to feel pain.

Mo Yao’er was infuriated and wanted to order the attack. An elder beside pulled her and looked at Qiu Yin with a grave expression and said, “Shorty Qiu, why are you making so much noise? Is your father dead or your son dead? You muster an army of 100,000 at the drop of a hat and even want to provoke a war between two races, causing such a tense situation.”

“…”

Many Heaven Devil Race’s members were in silence. The Dwarf Race was also one of the Snow Region Ten Sects, but they were ranked no.5. They might have a higher population, but they had relatively lesser experts. Even the patriarch of the Dwarf Race who was a Demigod was also lowly ranked in terms of combat strength. Hence, the Heaven Devil Race wasn’t afraid of the Dwarf Race.

If the two races were to go into battle—even if they could kill all 30 million, they would also have to lose eight million men. It was why the Heaven Devil Race’s elder had restrained Mo Yao’er, to prevent this little devil lady to order for the start of the war, and also because of the members of the Heaven Devil Race had expressions filled with concern.

Qiu Yin had eyes there were raging as he roared out, “Old Dog Mo Jun, you got it correct. My son is dead, my son—Qiu Di—is dead! And he was killed by your Heaven Devil Race! If you don’t give me an explanation today, even if I—Qiu Yin—have to die in combat, I will drag tens of thousands of your Heaven Devil Race to death with me!”

“Uh…”

Everyone was astonished. Mo Jun and Mo Yao’er looked at each other speechlessly. It seemed like this Qiu Yin didn’t come looking for trouble for no reason as something had really happened. He only had one precious son, and he was actually killed. It was no wonder why he was so furious.

Jiang Yi exchanged looks with Mo Tian, and their hearts had sunk. It seemed like the first dwarf that Mo Tian had killed was indeed an influential figure of the Dwarf Race. Jiang Yi had remembered clearly that the other dwarf was yelling ‘Young Master’.

“Elder brother Mo Tian. We must not admit this matter even if we are beaten to death. Remember that!” Jiang Yi transmitted a message to Mo Tian. If they admitted to this matter, the Heaven Devil Race might hand the both of them over in order to settle this dispute.

Mo Yao’er and the Heaven Devil Race’s elders were mutually transmitting messages to see how they were going to settle it. Jiang Yi and Mo Tian’s heart tightened. If the upper echelons were to investigate this matter and the fact that they had just returned from the Ice Sea, they would have any way to explain it. Furthermore, the Dwarf Race had superior tracking ability and might be able to find out that it was the two of them.

As soon as they thought of it…!

One of the elders suddenly transmitted a message, and it was relayed down immediately. Jiang Yi and Mo Tian had also received the transmission, and the meaning was obvious. Whoever that killed Qiu Yin’s son was to stand out. If that person didn’t and got investigated, the whole lineage would be executed.

“Mo Xing, the future of our lineage will be all on you.”

Mo Tian’s expression turned a few times, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and transmitted a message to Jiang Yi. He flew forward and yelled out, “I am the one that killed the dwarf. I will be responsible for my doings. Qiu Yin, if you want to kill, then kill me.”

“Uh…”

All eyes were on Mo Tian, and many Heaven Devil Race’s members had flickering eyes and faces of anger. They were obviously not pleased with the Heaven Devil Race’s elders’ decision. The Heaven Devil Race often had battles with other races, and many of their men were killed. Right now, the son of one of the Dwarf Race’s elders died, and they brought their troops to the Heaven Devil Mountain to ask for the culprit.

In the future, were they going to give way to the Dwarf Race if they saw them? Were they only allowed to be beaten up and not beat others up?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes swept across the faces of the Heaven Devil Race’s members, and his eyes flickered. He suddenly flew forward as well and yelled out, “And me. That group of dwarfs had been killed by me and Elder Brother Mo Tian. They wanted to kill us; why can’t we kill them? Elder brother Mo Tian, even if we have to die, we will die together.

“Our Heaven Devil Race isn’t made of cowards that are afraid of death. Let alone an elder’s son, we will kill if we are to encounter the Dwarf Race’s Patriarch in the future. The Heaven Devil Race isn’t afraid of death, and we will not let anyone bully us. Elder brother Mo Tian, since the sect doesn’t care about us, we will rely on ourselves. If we can kill one, it will be worth it; if we can kill two, it will be a great deal! Kill, kill, kill!”

Swish! Swish!

As Jiang Yi spoke, he rushed at the Dwarf Race’s army. As he yelled, he flew with a face filled with grief. Mo Tian had also roared with sorrow, “You are right, the Heaven Devil Race isn’t made of cowards that are afraid of death. Kill…”

Jiang Yi and Mo Tian rushed to the front like two streams of light. They had a resolution that infected the rest of the Heaven Devil Race’s members. One of them yelled out with sorrow, “The Heaven Devil Race isn’t made of cowards that are afraid of death, I—Mo Yan—will die with you!”

“We will die with you!”

One of them led the charge, and countless people had rushed out. When Mo Yao’er saw Jiang Yi and Mo Tian rushing to the front, her eyes revealed a trace of shame. She brandished her whip and yelled out delicately, “All troops, obey my orders. Kill…”

“Sacred Lady, come back! Sigh!”

A few elders yelled to stop, but since their army had moved, this battle with the Dwarf Race was inevitable. Even if they could win this great battle, the Heaven Devil Race would certainly suffer a huge loss.

Since Mo Yao’er had rushed out, the army had also rushed out along with the Heaven Devil Race’s members that were hidden underground. Even if the elders wanted to stop them, they couldn’t do anything.
