Chapter 954: Pursuit

Boom! Boom!

The martial artists’ divine shield ruptured. Following which, their bodies were being twisted before turning into a blood mist. There were astral winds in the vicinity as well. It would be impossible to keep their corpses intact once their divine shield was ruptured.

Jiang Yi eyes had turned bloodshot from killing. After plotting for such a long time, he might ultimately suffer defeat as Wu Ni wasn’t here. It was imaginable how enraged Jiang Yi was right now. At this moment, the only thought in his mind was to kill everyone present before thinking of other ideas to hunt Wu Ni.

This time, his identity would inevitably be exposed, and the North Thearch’s clan experts would emerge in full strength. He wouldn’t be able to save Su Ruoxue if he couldn’t capture Wu Ni in a short span of time.

After this time, they would definitely be much more vigilant; and in the future, there would no longer be any opportunities for him to capture Wu Ni.

Boom! Boom!

The speed at which Jiang Yi was killing was very quick. However, he would still need to waste some time in order to kill a few thousand men, right? There was a lot of high-stage Heaven Monarchs present, and their divine shields were still considered powerful. The Thunder Fire wouldn’t be able to scorch and rupture the shields in a short span of time. He would have to control the astral wind blades to kill them.

The astral wind blades were too overbearing. The divine shields would immediately rupture once they were struck by the wind blades. However, after killing several individuals, the astral wind blade would crumble. Jiang Yi would need to condense them once again. Otherwise, the speed of attack would be too slow if he were to rely on the unconcentrated astral winds.

Fifteen minutes, in just 15 minutes!

Jiang Yi had completely killed over 6000 of them, and the sky was covered in blood mist. There was also a lot of severed legs and arms on the ground as well as the skeletons of those who were burnt alive. Their weapons were scattered around the ground, and a lot of ancient divine essence rings had separated themselves from their owners because of their death and hovered in mid-air. The scene was filled with a dense smell of blood, and the blood had dyed a small mountain peak red.

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi descended and kept some peak-stage Heaven Monarchs’ ancient divine essence rings away while he panted for a few breaths of air. This great battle did not consume a lot of his stamina or essence force. Instead, it used up a lot of his spiritual energy.

It was especially so from the start when he released four to five attacks at the same time, and there was no room for errors. He almost lost his consciousness immediately after that first round of attacks.

Hoo-Hoo!

He gasped for a few breaths of air and forced himself to calm down. He swept his divine senses out to examine the area. Very quickly, his eyes turned cold because dozens of people rapidly were flying over from the north. The aura presences of those at the forefront were very formidable. Clearly, they were Four or Five-Star experts.

“Wu Ni is in the north!”

Jiang Yi’s soul spirit moved and confirmed immediately that the remaining Heaven Fate Ships did not send any expert reinforcements. It indicated that there was not a lot of experts on the other ships, and it was impossible for Wu Ni not to have formidable guards around him.

His divine senses swept at those people. Both his hand lit up in white light after he couldn’t locate Wu Ni’s silhouette. He tore the void apart with his Heaven Evasion and flew off directly.

These dozens of people possessed pretty decent strength. He would definitely have to pay a price even if he could kill them. The problem was what meaning would there be if he were to kill dozens of them? He had to capture Wu Ni.

“Where is he? Not good, it’s Heaven Evasion!”

On the other side, Wu Ni’s guard—Tu Lao—and the others had also locked onto Jiang Yi. However, before they could even approach him, Jiang Yi had already disappeared without any trace. They looked at each other before smiling bitterly. Ji Tingyu was right. They wouldn’t be able to kill Jiang Yi. Once he used the Heaven Evasion, no one would be able to kill him unless they were in the Demigod Realm.

“The Heaven Fate Ship in the north is 100 miles away from here!”

Jiang Yi calculated the distance silently. He had used the Heaven Evasion for a few blinks of eyes before tearing apart the void and exiting. The moment he appeared in mid-air, both his hands fluttered and absorbed the astral winds around him. His divine senses had also extended out to examine the area.

He had calculated it very precisely. A Heaven Fate Ship was flying over rapidly around 50 miles away from the north. Its direction was not towards the Flood Martial City. Rather, it was heading to the north. He calculated the distance between them silently for a moment before ripping apart the void and using the Heaven Evasion again.

This time, he had only executed the Heaven Evasion for two blinks of an eye. He was about a few miles ahead of the Heaven Fate Ship by the time he ripped apart the void and appeared. Both his hands brandished as he absorbed all the astral winds in the surroundings. After which, both his hands struck out astral winds rapidly, and he released an Astral Wind Divine Shield. Subsequently, he condensed ten astral wind blades and controlled them to burst forward while he followed behind.

Chi! Chi!

That Heaven Fate Ship was soaring through the sky while it advanced with extremely fast speed. In addition, the moment Jiang Yi appeared, he had darted over with all his might. Therefore, the distance between the both of them had been shortened to two miles within a blink of an eye.

“Break!”

The Heaven Fate Ship came to a stop from the jolt; however, it was too late. Jiang Yi controlled the astral wind blades with his thoughts and shot them out swiftly while he rushed over as well. Ten astral wind blades slashed ruthlessly onto the barrier of the Heaven Fate Ship.

Buzz!

This was a medium-sized Heaven Fate Ship, and the defensive barrier was too weak. The ten astral wind blades easily broke apart its defensive barrier. Following which, it sliced the Heaven Fate Ship into 11 portions. Some of those inside the ship were very unlucky as they were directly killed in the process.

“Not here? How is it possible?!”

Jiang Yi’s divine senses swept over immediately. However, he could not locate Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu. The martial artists inside were just some low-level Heaven Monarchs, and there was not a single peak-stage Heaven Monarch.

“Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni could be in one of the remaining Heaven Fate Ships, or they had fled by themselves. Damn it! This woman is too astute…”

Jiang Yi cursed inwardly. Those people on board of the Heaven Fate Ship were frightened. Unexpectedly, none of them attacked. Rather, they descended to the surface and fled.

“Are you still able to escape?”

Jiang Yi’s killing intent poured out in torrents as the flexible sword appeared in his hand. He released the Divine Sound Heaven Skill while the astral wind blades floated over silently as reaped the human lives.

There were more than a thousand people on this Heaven Fate Ship with no experts among them. Jiang Yi had only spent a dozen breaths of time before slaughtering off all of them. The astral wind blades were like the butcher’s knife while those beneath was like lambs that had resigned to their death under the influence of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill.

Swish! Swish!

A series of air-piercing noise resonated out from the south after he had tidied up the scene. Jiang Yi swept his divine senses over and discovered it was Tu Lao and his group of people. The corner of his mouth mocked teasingly. This group of people was clearly here to stall for time so that they could obstruct his pursuit, but Jiang Yi wasn’t so foolish.

Chi! Chi!

He ripped apart the void and escaped with the Heaven Evasion, leaving behind Tu Lao and his group of men, while they could only watch helplessly.

This time, Jiang Yi executed the Heaven Evasion towards the south. Regardless if Wu Ni and the others were taking refuge in the remaining Heaven Fate Ships or not, he had decided to destroy all the remaining Heaven Fate Ships. In any case, he absolutely couldn’t allow Wu Ni to flee back to the Flood Martial City.

He calculated his time accurately as he exited the void after using the Heaven Evasion for about a dozen breaths of time. He appeared 200 miles outside the southern side. The moment he exited, he swept his divine senses out. However, he didn’t discover any Heaven Fate Ship.

“Divine Perception!”

He sat down onto the ground and released his Divine Perception with his quickest speed to examine the area. Very quickly, he discovered a Heaven Fate Ship around a hundred miles southeast.

“Kill!”

He shot up and immediately executed the Heaven Evasion. Very quickly, he appeared in the vicinity of the Heaven Fate Ship. The astral wind blades danced as it twisted the Heaven Fate Ship into a fine powder. What caused him to be disappointed was… there was similarly a thousand of low-stage Heaven Monarchs within the Heaven Fate Ship. However, there were no signs of Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu around.

Divine Sound Heaven Skill, Astral Wind Blades!

Jiang Yi turned into an iron blood dictator as he used his quickest speed to reap everyone’s lives. This time, Tu Lao and the others didn’t chase over. Even if they wished to chase over, it wouldn’t be so quick.

After Jiang Yi had massacred all of them, he didn’t continue to pursue aimlessly. Rather, he sat back down onto the ground and released his Divine Perception to examine a radius of a few hundred thousand miles around him carefully.

He spotted the two remaining Heaven Fate Ships. One of it was flying towards the west while the other was flying towards the Flood Martial City. Jiang Yi no longer cared about those two Heaven Fate Ships. Ji Tingyu was too smart, and she understood him too well. Jiang Yi believed she would never ride a Heaven Fate Ship to escape.

There were only two other ways to escape since they weren’t riding the Heaven Fate Ship. First, they got an expert to place them inside a spatial divine artifact and escape. Second, escaping through the underground!

Regardless of how they escaped, their ultimate goal would be to head over to the nearby city. Only by entering the city would they be able to use teleportation array to leave and escape from the pursuit.

Flood Martial City had a large teleportation array that could bring them straight to the North Snow Region’s region lord’s city. There were Demigod Realm experts in the region lord’s city. Therefore, their current escape plans should very likely be the Flood Martial City.

“Found it…”

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yi’s body trembled. He discovered a fleeing silhouette that was 30 kilometers in the bottomless subterranean. Jiang Yi had seen that person before. It was Wu Ni’s guard, Ru Lao who was a Five-Star expert. He was not chasing after him together with Tu Lao and his men? Rather, he was escaping towards the Flood Martial City?

Jiang Yi speculated that Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu could very likely be stored in his spatial divine artifact while he fled!

“Kill!”

Five-Star experts were very formidable. However, there was no turning back on what he started. Jiang Yi didn’t hesitate. He executed the Heaven Evasion and chased after Ru Lao.
