Chapter 1600 - Demon-Killing Pearl

“You will stab yourself as many times as the number of dead clansmen?”

Many people exchanged stares, not sure how things were going to end up. At least a few thousand men had died this time; was Jiang Yi going to stab himself a few thousand times>

“Eh?!”

Qi Qingchen looked at the blood gushing out from the few holes in Jiang Yi’s body as she opened her mouth in shock; she couldn’t bear to keep watching. To her, getting injured was nothing serious; she had also seen many people die. However, this form of cruel self-mutilation was a first for her. Furthermore, it was happening on a man that she had a rather complex relationship with.

Tsk! Tsk!

After Jiang Yi finished speaking, his dagger continued to stab at his stomach, thighs, shoulders, and chest as blood continued to gush. Every stab was very deep, and it left a huge hole in his body, just like a pillar of blood spurting out; it was very terrifying.

Five stabs, ten stabs… twenty stabs…

There was dead silence as countless people’s eyes were filled with fear and astonishment.

Many of them here were seasoned and hardened martial artists; they had killed countless people before. However, they were now frightened of Jiang Yi. Perhaps it was because of Jiang Yi’s strength and identity, or because even White River King was afraid of him; or it was because Jiang Yi’s expression was so very calm and icy-cold. That gradually paling face made many people silenced out of fear.

Qi Qingchen turned her head away as the Yellow Lion King and the Heaven Desert King both averted their gaze. Only the White River King matched Jiang Yi’s gaze. He looked at Jiang Yi’s emotionless eyes as his hair started to stand as well.

A few thousand men had died. If Jiang Yi really stabbed himself that many thousand times—while it was not clear if Jiang Yi would die, he would no longer look like a human, and the White River King would indeed be appeased.

The problem was…

Would the White River King really dare to let Jiang Yi stab himself so many times? Jiang Yi was an unlucky star who had a Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist as his backing. If the White River King really offended Jiang Yi this time and the latter bore a grudge, would there still be peace in the White River Domain from now on? If every time Jiang Yi came, he killed a few thousand men and stabbed himself a few thousand times; within a few months, the entire Bai Clan would be gone.

“Alright!”

After Jiang Yi had stabbed more than forty times, the White River King’s face darkened as he shouted. He looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Jiang Yi, I will forget about this matter this time. If you still dare to cause trouble in my jurisdiction next time, I swear to kill you. Scram.”

Swish!

Qi Qingchen flew over and immediately injected heavenly powers to help Jiang Yi recuperate. She looked at Jiang Yi full of concern as she asked, “Are you okay?”

“Men cannot say no! Haha, these are but some superficial wounds; I am not that useless!”

Jiang Yi’s mouth twitched as he smiled, and a sliver of blood appeared at his mouth. He didn’t bother to wipe it as he gestured and said, “Qingchen, let’s go and save Mystic Thearch’s wife first.”

Qi Qingchen glared at Jiang Yi as she then flew over to Mystic Thearch’s wife. The elder holding on to Mystic Thearch’s wife hurriedly handed her over. After Qi Qingchen examined and made sure that Mystic Thearch’s wife was only wounded and was fine otherwise, she finally breathed out in relief. Qi Qingchen treated her for a while and kept her inside her spatial divine item, sending a voice transmission to Xuan Guo’er not to touch her mom.

“Jiang Yi, what should we do now? Can you teleport like this?” Qi Qingchen flew over and sent a voice transmission, rather troubled.

Buzz!

The Spatial-Tearing Gloves appeared in Jiang Yi’s hands as he immediately tore space and shouted, “Enter!”

Qi Qingchen understood Jiang Yi’s meaning: head back to the Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm to recuperate for a while before teleporting back to the Demon-Buster Valley. She flew into the crevice as Jiang Yi turned and looked towards the White River King. He left a sentence for him before entering the crevice himself: “My three Sovereigns, I will take my leave now; may we meet again someday.”

Buzz!

Jiang Yi rushed into the crevice, and the spatial crack healed rapidly. The White River King waited for Jiang Yi to leave before he furiously sent out a few palms of energy, smashing the nearby castles into a fine powder. The explosions resounded throughout the entire White River City for a long time.

…

“I want to kill him, I want to kill him! Ahhhhh!”

The White River King brought the Heaven Desert King and the Yellow Lion King into a huge castle as he started to shout furiously once they entered. The Heaven Desert King and the Yellow Lion King looked at each other with a very serious expression.

Jiang Yi was like a sword hanging on everyone’s heads now. He could come and create a massacre here in White River City today; he could also go to Heaven Desert City and Yellow Lion City another day. He could kill whoever he wanted; no one would dare to stop him.

Bai Digu had been killed!

A few thousand Bai Clan disciples had been killed. If it was anyone else who did that, he would have long died many times. Even if the culprit was a King-Ranked formidable martial artist, the three of them could also join hands and kill him.

However, this time they could do nothing; they even had to embarrass themselves, act out a scene, and respectfully see Jiang Yi off. When Jiang Yi had been stabbing himself just now, the three actually didn’t dare for him to be hurt too severely, afraid that Jiang Yi would bear a grudge.

Grievance!

The three King-Ranked formidable martial artists had never felt so aggrieved since they were born. There was a fire burning in them that they didn’t know how to extinguish.

“I have to find a way to kill him, to kill him!”

White River King started to murmur again. After leaving the Lava Wasteland, he had not returned directly to the White River Domain but had gone to the Heaven Desert Domain: it was actually to discuss how to kill Jiang Yi.

At that time, he was still hesitating if he wanted to do so. Now, his mind was set. He had to think of all ways to kill Jiang Yi. If not, the Bai Clan reputation would be lost forever, and he would not have the face to show himself in the Earth Domain anymore.

“Old Brother Bai!”

The Yellow Lion King heard White River King’s rants as he grew a little fed-up and said, “Stop murmuring to yourself; everyone wants Jiang Yi dead! However, how? Who can deal with that demon race being? We can’t possibly ask your second uncle to invite the Azure Supreme Thearch to come to the Earth Domain, right?”

Azure Supreme Thearch was one of the Heaven Domain Four Supreme Thearchs. One of the Bai Clan formidable martial artists was a beloved subordinate of the Azure Supreme Thearch. If the Azure Supreme Thearch came to the Earth Domain, it would naturally not be a problem dealing with that demon race being. However, would the Azure Supreme Thearch come down?

Obviously not!

Hence, no one had the ability to deal with the demon race being; no one dared to kill Jiang Yi.

The Yellow Lion King’s eyes glistened as he sighed. Suddenly, he spoke, “I actually have an idea. However, my losses will be considerable…”

“What idea?”

The White River King and the Heaven Desert King looked over as their eyes shone. Seeing that the Yellow Lion King was still a little hesitant, the White River King immediately shouted, “Old Yellow, what time is this already? We will compensate for your losses; hurry up and speak!”

“Alright then!”

A ring in Yellow Lion King’s hand lit up as a green pearl appeared. Just by its appearance, this pearl was definitely a treasure. Faint dragon patterns appeared on it, and it seemed as if a green dragon was being trapped in it. The Yellow Lion King smiled and said, “Do you guys know what this is?”

The White River King and the Heaven Desert King took a few detailed looks as the Heaven Desert King cried out, “The Demon-Killing Pearl?”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

The Yellow Lion King smiled faintly and continued, “I paid an exorbitant price for this pearl. When the Demon-Killing Pearl appears, the Demon-Killing Palace opens! Since the Demon-Killing Pearl had already appeared, the Demon-Killing Palace would be activated in at most three months.”

The White River King and the Heaven Desert King exchanged a glance as the former’s eyes lit up. He said, “Old Yellow, you want to give this pearl to Jiang Yi? To lure him to go to the Demon-Killing Palace? Then, we can ambush him there?”

“Wrong!”

The Yellow Lion King sneered sinisterly as he said, “Although the Demon-Killing Palace is in the Heaven Domain—if we ambush Jiang Yi, that demon race being would definitely know; and she would come after us. Why can’t we design a ploy? So many gifted martial artists are in the Heaven Domain. As the number-one talent in the Earth Domain, as long as we let out some news about Jiang Yi—there naturally would be people in the Heaven Domain who would find trouble with him. Also… if we revealed the timing and location of the Demon-Killing Palace’s location to the Netherworld Realm, what would you guys think the consequences would be?”

Ss, ss…

The White River King and the Heaven Desert King both sucked in a cold breath as a shiver trickled down their spines.
