Chapter 1618 - Are You Guys Not Afraid of Death? (2/2)

That spear’s speed was so fast and pierced Jiang Yi’s chest. As Qi Qingchen was near him, Jiang Yi did not dare to release the six-colored burning flames. He only flashed them out for a second to send a hot wave towards the enemy. Although he couldn’t unleash them fully, he could at least scare the enemy, right?

As expected!

After that man sent his long spear piercing into Jiang Yi’s chest, he immediately retreated; his eyes were filled with surprise. The moment that flame had flashed, the lake water had evaporated as white steam rose and visibility deteriorated. However, he could still see Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen being heavily knocked backward.

Pong-pong!

Two crisp sounds rang out as Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen spat out mouthfuls of blood as their bodies were sent flying quickly. Although that King-Ranked formidable martial artist had not been able to exert his full strength and Jiang Yi had Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor, he was still injured. Similarly, although Qi Qingchen had released her wind-element laws, she still had not managed to block that formidable martial artist’s attack. If it wasn’t for the Primitive Spiritual Treasure that Jiang Yi had given her, her chest would have probably been pierced already.

“Poison Spirit, retreat—”

Jiang Yi understood the Art of Concealment and could sense Poison Spirit’s position. He realized that Poison Spirit was about to head forward and assassinate as Jiang Yi hurriedly asked him to stop. Poison Spirit’s body flashed as he floated far away in retreat; he did not question Jiang Yi’s commands at all.

Swish!

From afar, two men speedily chased, their eyes like savage beasts. Jiang Yi flew towards Qi Qingchen and immediately kept her inside his Chaos Essence Pearl. He then stood upright and stared at the two incoming opponents. Jiang Yi said, “Are you guys not afraid of death?”

A flame appeared in Jiang Yi’s hands as it flashed and disappeared once more. The lake water around suddenly evaporated as water vapor rose. A ten-thousand-feet radius was cleared around Jiang Yi. The two enemies paused as they stood ten thousand feet away from Jiang Yi; they were hesitating.

It was obvious!

The two were King-Ranked bodyguards for the great family clans’ young masters and young mistresses. They were standing guard here obviously to stop Jiang Yi and company from entering the second level.

As long as they stood guard here, no one would be able to enter and their young masters and young mistresses would be safe. Furthermore, this was not only the entrance… but also the exit. Those who exited from here would not head back to the first level, but be instantly teleported out of the Demon-Killing Palace.

The two had not thought that Jiang Yi would successfully enter this second level. It had been a wise choice for Jiang Yi to send some Sword Emanations Race beings ahead first. If not, once the three of them appeared, they would have been attacked without even having the chance to take out their weapons; they might have been severely wounded.

Jiang Yi’s burning flames could burn King-Ranked formidable martial artists to death; there were only two of them here while Jiang Yi even had a King-Ranked formidable martial artist on his side. At this moment, the two King-Ranked formidable martial artists hesitated; and they stood there unmoving.

“We have to leave this place fast; if not, more formidable martial artists would surround and kill us.”

Jiang Yi decided as his eyes shifted, and he actually moved forward, the burning flames appearing in his hands periodically. He sent Sword Emanations Race beings continuously out from the Wintry Pearl as he flew forward and said, “Since you guys are not retreating, then I will have no choice but to fight you two to the death. Come! Even if I die, I will drag you two along as well!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Sword Emanations Race beings filled the sky and soared forward while the burning flames appeared in Jiang Yi’s hands again and sent heat waves surging forward. Even the Sword Emanations Race beings nearby began to catch fire. The two King-Ranked formidable martial artists were stunned for a moment as they watched the advancing Jiang Yi and hesitated even more.

Swish! Swish!

At this moment, the two suddenly heard an air-splitting sound behind them. They turned and saw a sky filled with figures. Poison Spirit—who had been using the Art of Concealment—had resurfaced and activated his clones. Every one of them was holding onto a Headless Spear; its Primitive Spiritual Treasure aura was extremely terrifying. The two instinctively flinched as they then hurriedly launched their attacks.

“Something isn’t right…”

The duo’s attacks easily destroyed Poison Spirit’s clones. The two hurriedly turned back and saw that Jiang Yi had actually vanished. The Sword Emanations Race beings, however, filled the skies; and there was movement everywhere. They couldn’t find where Jiang Yi had fled to at all.

“Retreat!”

With the situation unclear and since they could no longer lock onto Jiang Yi, the two naturally did not want to risk their lives. If Jiang Yi came close and unleashed his burning flames, they would probably be burned to death.

The two fought as they retreated, killing all the Sword Emanations Race beings. When they finally took out their Mercury Stones to check the surroundings, they couldn’t find Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit anymore.

“Go and report to Young Master Feng and Young Mistress Gongyang.”

The two searched for a moment to no avail; they could only fly away to report to their masters. Now that Jiang Yi had entered the second level, he would definitely encounter Young Master Dao Feng, Young Mistress Gongyang, and the others. The two had to report the situation back immediately.
