Chapter 972: Ants Shaking the Heavens

“Attack!”

On the south side of the Stupa Mountain, a bandit chief roared; and those Four and Five-Star experts that weren’t affected by the Divine Sound Heaven Skill had started to counterattack. However, Jiang Yi, Qi Tianyu, and his men were astonished because… this group of people didn’t attack Jiang Yi nor Qi Tianyu and his men; neither did they attack Su Ruoxue. Instead, they were attacking the surroundings and causing spatial fluctuations in Jiang Yi’s vicinity!

“It is a ruse as expected!”

Jiang Yi’s heart sank. They were obviously trying to prevent him from escaping with the Heaven Evasion by making the spatial zone fluctuate. He then shot the astral wind blades into the surroundings with rage and killed another dozen peak-stage Heaven Monarchs and a whole group of regular Heaven Monarchs. He then flew backward abruptly as he wanted to be together with Su Ruoxue even if he had to die.

“Ruoxue!”

When Jiang Yi saw that woman on the stretcher who was surrounded by Qi Tianyu and his men, Jiang Yi’s heart surged with limitless tender sentiments and guilt. As he flew rapidly and approached Su Ruoxue, he was releasing astral wind blades to slaughter the surrounding low-stage Heaven Monarchs. When he was three kilometers away from Su Ruoxue, his eyes suddenly shrank as he had noticed a problem.

There was something wrong with Su Ruoxue’s aura presence!

He might not have consummated with Su Ruoxue yet, but they had been together for a long time. He was very familiar with Su Ruoxue and could recognize her aura presence immediately. This woman made him feel very unfamiliar.

His divine senses scanned over quickly and over this woman’s body again. When he was examining her soul spirit, his face instantly revealed an enraged expression!

“Fake, this Su Ruoxue is a fake!”

He burst out with a firm roar. Su Ruoxue cultivated the Purple Charm Divine Light, and her soul spirit was very unique. Jiang Yi closed his eyes and entered the Union of Heaven and Man state to examine again before he quickly opened his eyes to roar with fury. “Ji Tingyu, get your ass out here and return the real Ruoxue to me!”

After entering the Union of Heaven and Man state, he got even more sensitive and examined even closer. This woman’s soul spirit might be in stillness, but Jiang Yi was still able to check her soul spirit aura presence. She was a fake.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The spatial zone in the surroundings was fluctuating, and that group of peak-stage Heaven Monarch didn’t even try to attack Jiang Yi. They simply shook the spatial zone and didn’t allow Jiang Yi to escape with the Heaven Evasion. He looked around and roared with extreme anger, “Kill…”

Jiang Yi had paid a gigantic price and had sunk into this predicament of death. Qi Tianyu, who originally had over a thousand men, only had less than a few dozen men left. Furthermore, all these people were ultimately going to be buried in this place. Such a huge cost just to exchange for a fake. It was imaginable how much rage was inside Jiang Yi’s heart.

Jiang Yi was releasing the Divine Sound Heaven Skill frantically and also releasing the astral winds, forming them into astral wind blades and wiping out groups of enemies. He didn’t go chase after those bandit experts that were shaking the spatial zone and was killing anyone he could see. He knew clearly that he wouldn’t be able to escape today, and since the opposition had set this trap, Demigod experts would surely appear.

Swish! Swish!

As he had expected, five figures flew over the sky from the north, and they had aura presences like dragons. They were like five floating mountains, and before they even arrived, Jiang Yi and others could already feel their soul spirit shivering. It was needless to say that they were the Wu Clan’s Demigod experts.

“Wu Zu?”

When Qi Tianyu saw Wu Zu, his eyes shrank as he looked at Jiang Yi who was still attacking frantically. Qi Tianyu’s scarred face looked abnormally sinister, and when he lifted his head to look at the sky which was getting dusky and dark, his eyes suddenly lit up. He transmitted a message to Jiang Yi: “Young Master, quickly fly to the high altitudes where there are astral winds, and they will not be able to pursue you. As long as you can escape, our deaths will be worth it. Quickly escape… and cleanse the Wu Clan’s four regions with blood to avenge us!”

“Escape?”

Jiang Yi turned back and looked blankly as Qi Tianyu and his men rushed at the Wu Clan’s Demigods like rainbows. His body paused and was about to follow Qi Tianyu instinctively.

Qi Tianyu turned back abruptly and roared with rage, “Go, otherwise, we will die with grievance!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Qi Tianyu and a few dozen peak-stage Heaven Monarchs rushed ahead and attacked aggressively. They had totally ignored the attacks around them and pay attention to the five Demigod experts that skimmed over from a distance.

“Run—!”

When Jiang Yi heard Qi Tianyu’s burst of yells, he finally calmed down. Death wasn’t terrifying, but it wasn’t worth it for him to die like this. Qi Tianyu was right; Jiang Yi should think of all ways to escape and cleanse the Wu Clan’s four regions with blood to take revenge for Qi Tianyu and his men!

Swish!

His body shot up to high altitudes rapidly, and the sky was already gradually turning dark. He reckoned that there were plenty of astral winds in the high altitudes, and as long as he could escape to a few kilometers high up in the sky, he would have the chance to survive and to escape with Heaven Evasion.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The spatial zone in the surroundings was vibrating without an end like a torrential storm in the raging sea. Jiang Yi might be able to fly in mid-air, but his speed was much slower. If he wanted to ascend tens of kilometers into the sky, he would need the time required for ten breaths.

Would Wu Zu give Jiang Yi this much time?

The answer was obvious. The five of them were still over 20 miles away but had all made a move at the same time. They all struck out large palm prints which caused the spatial zone to fluctuate intensively. They didn’t comprehend any spatial dao pattern, but a Half God expert’s casual palm strike could make the spatial zone fluctuate drastically, making Jiang Yi’s escape speed even slower.

Jiang Yi originally felt like he was a small boat in a raging sea, but now he felt as though he was duckweed in a tsunami. His flying speed had decreased again by several times!

“Hahaha, Jiang Yi—you bastard, you still think you can escape?”

Wu Zu’s loud waves of laughter echoed in the vicinity. Originally, Ji Tingyu said to bring ten Demigod experts but was denied by Wu Zu. The five of them might not be the Wu Clan’s strongest Demigod experts, but they were more than enough to suppress a Heaven Monarch like Jiang Yi.

Demigods and Heaven Monarchs were in completely different realms. If the five of them couldn’t even kill a single Jiang Yi, they might as well look for a wall to smash their heads in.

“Young master!”

Qi Tianyu and his men turned around and saw that Jiang Yi’s speed had declined to a stop, and their eyes were filled with despair. They rushed at those five frantically like moths into five bundles of flames.

“Ants trying to shake the heavens?”

Wu Zu and others sneered and turned into violent dragons as they avoided Qi Tianyu and his group’s attack with ease. Qi Tianyu’s group had a few Five-Star experts, but they were facing Demigods. Once a martial artist broke through to this realm, the strength difference would be worlds apart. Their speed would be at least ten times faster, making Qi Tianyu and his men’s attacks simply too slow.

“Die!”

When they saw that Jiang Yi had been shaken up by the intensive spatial fluctuation and was unable to escape, Wu Zu and others weren’t in a hurry either. They each launched their attacks on Qi Tianyu and his men. They simply wanted to let Jiang Yi watch as they killed Qi Tianyu and the others.

Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!

With five Demigods making their moves, the results weren’t of any surprise. Qi Tianyu and his men’s divine shields ruptured one by one, and they were finally turned into blood mists, scattering in midair. Jiang Yi turned back when he heard those explosive sounds, only to see Qi Tianyu’s body turning into a bloody pulp.

“Ahh, Ahh, Ahh…!”

Jiang Yi yelled hysterically to the sky. The spatial fluctuation was too intense, and he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to. Instead of trying to escape, his eyes were filled with frenzy as a giant block of stone appeared in his hands; and he poured in his essence force as though they weren’t worth anything.

At the same time, he channeled all his power of stars into the Smelting Divine Furnace as he wanted to activate it at this final moment. Even if he had to die, he wanted to drag these people to death with him.

Buzz!

After Jiang Yi poured in his power of stars, the Smelting Divine Furnace flourished with radiance and was as bright as a scorching sun for that moment. That furnace lid which had never been opened was suddenly shaking drastically.
