Chapter 330: Stone Puppet

“Kill!”

Zhan Wushuang’s arrangement was rather good. He didn’t put everyone in one area; he planted people all around the ten-mile perimeter. After giving his orders, everyone mobilized.

Two thousand individuals surrounded and killed the one thousand enemy troops while the other one thousand attacked Yun Lu and his two secret guards in waves.

Yun Lu had to die; otherwise, everyone would have traveled over 10,000 miles here for nothing. It would bring about an endless amount of disaster. Even if Yun Lu didn’t obtain any evidence, he would surely think about Yun Fei and might just assassinate Yun Fei and her brother after he returned.

Even if these two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts’ attacks were ferocious and could casually rip apart several soldiers with a single blow, Zhan Wushuang’s men still desperately tried to delay them, waiting for the experts to come over. Most importantly, it was for Jiang Yi to rush over. As long as his Massacre Intent enveloped them, this battle would be over.

“Die! Old Lu, bring His Highness and go first!”

The two Soul Travel Realm secret guards by Yun Lu’s side obviously knew these soldiers’ intention for flocking over. One of them suddenly shot out several essence force attacks with his longsword. After killing all those people near to him, his body glowed with this wicked yellow light, causing the air within this space to vibrate. The surface of the ground also tremored, and an amazing thing happened.

The mud and stones in the surrounding actually surged upwards and quickly formed several tall and huge mud humanoids which rushed at the Qian and Zhan Clans’ martial artists. These mud men were all over three meters tall and were glowing with yellow light. Their speed wasn’t slow either—about the same as the first stage of Soul Travel Realm.

Clang! Clang!

The Soul Travel Realm experts from the Qian and Zhan clans shot out essence force attacks at them, but they were shocked to find out that their essence force attacks which could split a small mountain—actually couldn’t destroy these mud men? They merely shook a little, and it seemed like only those above the fifth stage of the Soul Travel Realm could leave a mark on these mud men.

Bang!

One of the mud man’s fists was about the size of a casserole which all slammed down towards the head of a Purple Mansion Realm martial artist. That martial artist’s reaction speed was too slow and got his head smashed opened, causing the brain juices to burst out and resulting in instant death.

“Ancient sorcery, Stone Puppet!”

One of the experts from Zhan Clan suddenly yelled out with a grave expression. He fixed his eyes at the instant shifting Jiang Yi and sent a message: “Young Master Yi, help us kill this man; otherwise, we will suffer great losses!”

Yun Lu was being carried by the other Soul Travel Realm guard who was running frantically towards the east. Jiang Yi originally wanted to chase after them. Once he heard the message from the Zhan Clan’s expert, he looked over and hesitated.

This individual actually comprehended ancient sorcery, and in just a short amount of time, he had already formed several Stone Puppets. He used four of these Stone Puppets to surround himself so that he would not be damaged by anyone.

He was still constantly forming Stone Puppets. If he had enough time, he would probably form more than a few thousand Stone Puppets. Even if the Zhan and Qian Clans could win this battle, they might only be left with half their men.

“Okay, you go slow down Yun Lu!”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and had to ignore Yun Lu for now. The direction towards the Mystic Dark City had been sealed, and Yun Lu was being carried towards the Netherworld Forest’s direction, attempting to escape using the forest. Jiang Yi believed that with Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan’s meticulous arrangements, the forest in the northeast would definitely have some backups. Hence, he wasn’t worried.

Swish!

Jiang Yi’s instant shift speed was too fast. Even though the battlefield was several miles away from him, he constantly shifted and arrived within the vicinity of the expert who knew ancient sorcery in a few blinks of the eye.

Buzz!

With the release of his Massacre Intent, horrific killing aura poured out while that peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert’s eye revealed this fearful expression. His body went soft, and he found it extremely hard to move around.

The surrounding Zhan and Qian Clans’ martial artists also went soft. Most of them prostrated on the ground with frightened eyes. They all looked at Jiang Yi as though he was a devil that came from hell.

“Jiang Yi!”

Once the Massacre Intent was out, Yun Lu’s subordinates were all awakened from shock while many of the experts from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom all stared in this direction. One of the generals yelled out, “Jiang Yi, you actually dare to ambush us? We will definitely report this to the King, and your Great Xia Kingdom will perish with falling corpses!”

Bang!

The martial artists in Jiang Yi’s nearby vicinity were affected, but these Stone Puppets were not affected. Many of these Stone Puppets killed the Zhan and Qian clansmen with ease. Jiang Yi felt the urgency when he saw this. He quickly targeted the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert and shifted over immediately. For safety, once he shifted, he immediately released the remaining Earth Fire that he had and incinerated the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert into ashes.

Pong! Pong!

As soon as the peak stage Soul Travel Realm expert was eliminated, these Stone Puppets immediately exploded turning into mud and stones. Once the sorcerer was dead, these Stone Puppets would naturally burst apart without any sorcery maintaining them.

“Hu Hu!”

Jiang Yi withdrew the Massacre Intent while the Zhan and Qian Clans’ martial artists suddenly felt release from a heavy burden. Although more than a dozen people were smashed by those Stone Puppets during that moment, it was still worth it. If this sorcerer wasn’t eliminated, he would continue to create more Stone Puppets; and everyone else would probably be dead.

Jiang Yi ignored all those clamors and looked towards the direction where Yun Le escaped to. He could hear explosive echoes from there, which meant that Zhan Wushuang did set up that place. He temporarily ignored Yun Lu and instantly shifted towards the army of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.

“All of you, get away!”

He bellowed, which caused all the Zhan and Qian Clans’ experts to retreat immediately. He then shifted into the midst of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s army and released both the Earth Fire and the killing qi.

Jiang Yi didn’t have to intentionally kill anyone as he merely circled around the army like an afterimage while the Earth Fire swiftly incinerated all the enemies.

This Earth Fire and Massacre Intent combination is just too efficient! If I knew it, I would have used it during the war!

Jiang Yi’s speed wasn’t considered fast; neither was it too slow. It took him just over a dozen breaths to circle the entire army. There were originally seven to eight hundred survivors, but after Jiang Yi spun one round, he incinerated at least six hundred of them.

There were around a hundred that were scorched and plenty more who were still immolated by the blazing fire. After Jiang Yi withdraw the Massacre Intent and shifted away, the victims immediately tumbling on the ground and shrieking incessantly.

Ss, ss…

Although they had heard of Jiang Yi’s powerful combat strength, these Zhan and Qian Clans’ martial artists still took a few gasps of cold air with faces of awe. With such a ruthless and tyrannical killing method, Jiang Yi was indeed worthy of the title ‘Devil from Hell’ that was given by the continent’s citizens.

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi constantly shifted towards the forest in the northeast, leaving the rest of the stranglers to the two clans. If he didn’t witness Yun Lu being killed, his heart wouldn’t be able to rest with peace. He had already exposed his identity, and if Yun Lu and that peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert were to escape, he and the Great Xia Kingdom would probably be in huge trouble.

His running speed wasn’t fast, but with the instant shifts, his speed became very horrific. Every shift would bring him over 3000 kilometers, and he could continuously shift without being afraid that his soul spirit would be exhausted. In short, his speed was actually comparable to a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert.

Soon enough, he shifted into the forest in the northeast direction. He took a quick glance which instantly changed his expression!

There were corpses all over the forest, and the numerous trees had collapsed and ruptured. It was a complete disorder. These corpses were all the experts from the two clans, and he could still subtly hear the shouts from the martial artists in the eastern side.

“Jiang Yi, quickly go help!”

Zhan Wushuang who was carried by a Soul Travel Realm expert suddenly came out. He had this grave expression as he yelled out quickly, “Yun Lu’s secret guard has a saint artifact, and he possesses ancient sorcery which is Yun Fei’s Art of Plant Spirit, which gives him control over the trees. He was the one who noticed our ambush. We are unable to stop him, and you are the only one who has a chance to kill them. If not, we are all done for!”
