Chapter 1515 - Cold-blooded

Chapter 1515: Cold-blooded

You Hong also felt the same. If no miracle happened, they were all going to be buried here forever.

They surrounded You Tianni as they tried their best to break through. As their strength was all about the same, no one was more confident than the others that they could break through. Hence, no one dared to place You Tianni within their spatial divine item. If they died and the spatial divine item was destroyed by the Sword Emanations Race, You Tianni would be sucked into the spatial zone turbulence and be minced to death.

Yi Wu and the others could also no longer be relied upon. They had entered a rampage and were out of control; they were attacking instinctively now. Although their battle strength was formidable—as they were no longer in control of their actions, their responses were weakened and have been struck many times. If it was an ordinary person, he would have perished long ago.

It was obvious!

Yi Wu and his companions were gone for good; there was no more hope for them. The four of them were still caught up in their rampage and not completely conscious. However, once they regained their mental faculties, they would definitely be seriously wounded; even if they concealed themselves, they would not be able to escape.

What should we do?

You Tianni’s eyes glistened; never did he expect that the situation would end up like this. Too many things that he could not understand were flooding his mind now. As it was now a matter of life and death, he did not have the time to think about so much; he could only force himself to calm down and think of a way out of this.

The Sword Emanations Race beings seemed to be increasing in number. Since Jiang Yi could control these Sword Emanations Race beings here, he probably could also control more Sword Emanations Race beings to come this way. Their current speed at breaking through was so slow; it was probably not as fast as Jiang Yi’s gathering of more Sword Emanations Race beings to come here. If things continued, they would all die.

“Ay…”

Qi Qingchen sighed softly, still being held on by You Tianni, startling You Tianni awake. You Tianni’s eyes shifted as he had an idea. He roared, “Jiang Yi, come out! If you don’t, I will kill Qi Qingchen.”

“Oh, right!”

Many people’s eyes lit up. Qi Qingchen was in You Tianni’s hands. Originally, they had thought that she was You Tianni’s woman and had not bothered about her. They were all about to die; who would care about Qi Qingchen’s survival? However, Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen’s relationship was rather tight; he couldn’t possibly watch and see Qi Qingchen get killed, right?

Jiang Yi did not appear; he also did not say anything or send any message over. The only sound that could be heard was of the Sword Emanations Race beings attacking.

You Tianni waited for a while and grew angry. His fist glowed as he punched heavily at Qi Qingchen’s stomach. This time, he had used all his might; and Qi Qingchen’s stomach actually scrunched up. The extreme pain caused her intoxicated state to lessen slightly as her face was twisted; this punch had hurt her divine core.

“Continue to punch!”

A cold voice rang out as Jiang Yi finally spoke. However, he was still concealed; and so his voice seemed very fleeting. His cold voice said, “The general is in your hands; I had never imagined that she could live to see another day. So… go ahead and kill her. I will avenge her most definitely. Your deeds will also be recorded in my seal stone. I will pass it to the Wintry Sovereign when I get back. I want to see how powerful the You Clan is.

“Also, if the general dies and I avenge her, would I also get credit for that? Perhaps I could even be promoted and become the next general of the Fire Phoenix Army. I think I even have to thank you for this, Young Master You.”

“Uh…”

You Tianni and company were stunned and speechless; Jiang Yi was actually someone like that? He would watch and see Qi Qingchen die and do nothing? Also, he wanted to use Qi Qingchen’s death as a stepping stone to get promoted? This person was extremely unscrupulous and thick-skinned; You Tianni felt as if Jiang Yi was even more shameless than him.

“Hmph!”

You Tianni snorted loudly as he once again punched Qi Qingchen’s stomach. He wanted to see if Jiang Yi was feinting? However, even after he punched Qi Qingchen another ten times and almost destroyed her divine core, Jiang Yi never once sent another message over; he seemed to really not care about Qi Qingchen’s survival.

Hoo-Hoo!

After confirming that Jiang Yi was not going to give in or negotiate, You Tianni did not dare to continue his assault. If Jiang Yi really had a seal stone and he killed Qi Qingchen, the You Clan would definitely be in deep trouble. As long as Jiang Yi had sufficient proof, the Wintry Sovereign could combine forces with the other King-Ranked formidable martial artists to attack the You Clan. The other two Heavenly Kings would definitely not help the You Clan.

“Ahhh!”

A horrible scream rang out as everyone looked into the distance and their faces changed. One of the Phantom Race formidable martial artists had been cut to death. Phantom Race members were not used to wearing battle armor; they were very conceited. Hence, this formidable martial artist had been cut so badly; he had been cut into pieces by a dozen-odd Sword Emanations Race beings.

Yi Wu and the remaining two were also in a very bad state; their eyes flashed red and black periodically. They probably had not woken up yet. Many swords were jutting out of their bodies; they were going to die at any minute.

“Young Lord, you shouldn’t kill Young Master Yi Wu; if not, it will be very troublesome in the future!”

Poison Spirit swallowed a few recuperation elixirs, and his injuries had stabilized. He had been brought along by Jiang Yi as he unleashed his Art of Concealment. Poison Spirit took a look at the about-to-die Yi Wu and said slightly reluctantly, “After all, he is a genius of the Phantom Race; if you kill him, the Phantom King would be very angry.”

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yi snorted and replied, “I had recorded the scene just now in my seal stone. I will show it to Yi Buhui when we get back. This kind of person cannot be saved; if he is left alone, he would be trouble in the future. Poison Spirit, you have killed so many people before; why have you gone soft?”

“Uh—”

Poison Spirit stuttered and didn’t say anything. It wasn’t that he had grown soft; he was just afraid that if Jiang Yi and the Phantom Race fell out, he would not be able to be reintegrated into the Phantom Race. Since Jiang Yi had already activated his killing intent, Poison Spirit had nothing else to say.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

Three pitiful cries rang out quickly. At the very last moment, Yi Wu and the remaining two formidable martial artists more or less managed to snap out of the baneful aura’s influence. However, it was too late. The injuries on their bodies were so severe while there were so many Sword Emanations Race beings around. Everyone could only watch as the trio’s bodies were cut into pieces.

Ss, ss!

You Tianni and company saw as all four Phantom Race martial artists died so tragically; they were all scared out of their wits. You Tianni gritted his teeth as he had no choice but to give in. The patterns on his bald head lit up as he said coldly, “Jiang Yi, I admit defeat this time. As long as you let us go, you can name any condition you want!”

Silence!

Jiang Yi did not respond. After waiting for five minutes, You Tianni grew fed-up as he continued shouting, “Jiang Yi, you will not gain anything from killing me; you will no longer be able to remain in the Demon-Buster Army anymore as well. The entire You Clan only has one grandson, me. We, from the Divine Yang Race, have great difficulties in carrying on the family line. If you kill me, the You Clan would no longer have an heir.

“I know that the Earth Emanations Sovereign has your back. However, my grandfather will definitely kill you. You can’t possibly hide in the Earth Emanations Domain your entire life, right?”

This time, Jiang Yi responded. “Your words seem to make sense. The problem is… I don’t gain anything from not killing you as well. I am a rather petty person; you almost killed me just now. At least if I killed you now, I would feel better inside.”

“Gain anything?”

You Tianni, You Hong, and others’ eyes lit up. You Tianni hurriedly answered, “As long as you don’t kill us, we can discuss everything. From now on, you can have your way in the Demon-Buster Army; I guarantee that no one would make things difficult for you. I can also assure you that the Fire Phoenix Army’s missions will be the easiest with the most amount of battle merits, divine roots, divine artifacts, treasures, and beauties. You can have whatever you want.

“I also have a command token with me that allows me to enter all cultivation places at half the battle merits cost. You can do so even for the Primitive Mystic Realm, Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, and Primordial Mystic Realm…”

“Oh?”

Jiang Yi seemed to be a little tempted. His voice floated gently as he said, “You have promised so much; what if you go back and renegade on all your promises? I can’t attack you in the Demon-Buster Army camp if that was the case. What if you come and plot against me again? How about this… you swear the Heavenly Thearch Blood Oath and I will believe you. Also, throw Qi Qingchen over. This woman cannot be harmed by you. She is the Fire Phoenix Army’s general; if someone were to harm her, it should be me first.”

“This…”

You Tianni and company hesitated. Letting Qi Qingchen go would breed calamity for the future. However, if they killed Qi Qingchen, things would become even more problematic. If Jiang Yi had a seal stone on him, the You Clan was doomed.

Finally, You Tianni considered for a while as he gritted his teeth and tossed Qi Qingchen over. He shouted, “Jiang Yi, catch!”

Clang-clang!

A sword sound rang as the Sword Emanations Race beings beneath You Tianni and company automatically stood aside, allowing Qi Qingchen to fall down. However, Jiang Yi still did not appear. Qi Qingchen fell heavily among the mountains and tumbled a few rounds along the mountain slope. She finally dropped into a canal.

“This bastard is so cautious!”

You Hong cursed silently. If Jiang Yi had appeared to save Qi Qingchen, they would definitely have seized the opportunity to kill Jiang Yi. Now, they could only be held hostage by Jiang Yi, awaiting the chance to parlay with him.

Clang-clang!

Another sword sound rang out as the Sword Emanations Race beings that had parted reformed the encirclement and continued to attack You Tianni and company. Jiang Yi’s mocking voice traveled, “You want me to let you guys off? Childish! You Tianni, don’t talk about your grandfather being a Heavenly King; even if your father was the Yan Supreme Thearch, I will still kill you today!”
