After resting for one night, everyone started their journey again; and they were getting closer to the Heaven Devil Mountain, which put more peace in their hearts.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, after traveling for half a day, there were slight tremors that could be felt at the front, shocking everyone. Mo Qi placed his ear to the ground and listen carefully to the tremors in the distance. His eyes radiated with cold light and yelled out, “Sacred Lady, it is our race having a battle with the Dwarf Race. The number of combatants should be more than a thousand.”
“Kill!”
Mo Yao’er heard the elder, and her charming face instantly turned cold. Her whip appeared and her arms had turned into snow-white dragon claws. She yelled delicately and disregarded everything and rushed forward.
“Go!”
Mo Qi and the other elder quickly followed. Mo Qi then took a glance at Jiang Yi and transmitted a message: “Mo Xing, prepare for combat. Don’t worry, after we return to the sect, I will report your contributions accordingly. The Patriarch and the elder hall will surely reward you and bestow you a title handsomely.”
Reward and title?
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. He didn’t bother about rewards, but he liked titles. He didn’t have to get close to Mo Shen and obtain the Heaven Hidden Sect’s location anymore, but if he had a higher position in the Heaven Devil Sect, he would be able to create more disputes with the Dwarf Race. It would allow him to easily make use of the Heaven Devil Race to eliminate the Dwarf Race.
“Elder brother, Mo Tian, later on, all of you shouldn’t emerge to the surface. Otherwise, you will be icebound again. After I go out, you will act according to the situation and rescue our race members.”
As Jiang Yi was sprinting, he gave his instructions. Mo Tian and the others nodded in agreement as it wasn’t a nice feeling to be turned into an ice sculpture. None of them wanted to be icebound again.
Everyone was sprinting with haste, and after traveling for a few dozen miles, Jiang Yi had spotted the battle situation ahead.
Miserable!
The members from both races weren’t just one thousand; there were at least five thousand. Right now, both sides had each lost half their men, but it was obvious that the Dwarf Race had the upper hand. The Dwarf Race currently had at least 30 Four- and Five-Star experts, and their snow dragons were very horrific. They were able to freeze the Heaven Devil Race’s experts. The Heaven Devil Race was in a situation where they couldn’t battle nor escape and had no choice but to fight back desperately.
“Elder Mo Qi, I will go out first. Wait till I release the ‘Icebound Thousand Miles’ and freeze their experts. All of you will then immediately launch a sneak attack and kill them! It is hard for me to kill their experts now so I have to rely on you.”
Jiang Yi transmitted a message to Mo Qi, and the latter glanced with doubtful eyes. Didn’t Jiang Yi have another six-star dao pattern ‘Jolting Kill through Air’? Qiu Ming and a dozen Four- and Five-Star experts were killed by him, right? Why was it difficult for him to kill now?
Jiang Yi could naturally kill with ease. Be it with his Divine Sound Heaven Skill, astral wind blades, or Fury of Thunder. However, he must not use them, or his identity would be exposed. Previously, he could use the astral wind blades because Mo Qi and the rest were also icebound.
Jiang Yi then transmitted another message to explain: “Elder, my essence force realm is too weak. Therefore, I can only release ‘Jolting Kill through Air’ once a month. Otherwise, there will be a backlash…”
Mo Qi immediately realized it and nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, you better don’t release it. If there is a backlash, it will be troublesome. Alright, we will coordinate with you and kill their experts first!”
Mo Qi transmitted a message to the other elder and Mo Yao’er before they turned to nod at Jiang Yi, indicating they were ready. Jiang Yi suddenly increased his speed and rushed up through a tunnel at the front.
Bang!
There was a heavy snowfall on the outside, and the tunnels were covered by the icy snow. Jiang Yi burst through the icy snow and frightened one of the dwarfs by the side. The dwarf quickly backed off as he assumed Jiang Yi was going to launch a sneak attack on him.
Chi! Chi!
Jiang Yi didn’t have time to bother about this dwarf as he was brandishing his arms and absorbing the essence force and power of icy snow in the radius of a thousand miles. A horrific chilling current quickly gushed out from his body and froze every living person in the radius of a thousand miles.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
Jiang Yi had controlled the chilling current so that it didn’t gush underground. Hence, everyone below might have felt the bone-chilling current, but they weren’t frozen. Mo Yao’er, Mo Qi, and others burst out along with many of the Heaven Devil Race members. Mo Qi and Mo Yao’er obviously gave them the command. The hundreds of people who rushed out and acted independently.
“Die—!”
Mo Yao’er and all the experts were targeting one of the Dwarf Race’s experts. The rest of the people were shattering the ice on those Heaven Devil Race members who were frozen and dragging them into the ground.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
The Dwarf Race’s experts were all icebound and had turned into live targets. They might be frozen for two breaths of time, but it was enough for the Heaven Devil Race’s experts to release their attacks. When experts were crossing moves, life and death would be determined in an instant. Mo Yao’er, Mo Qi, and the Heaven Devil Race’s experts—a total of 13 experts had all made their moves. They searched for their own targets and released their strongest attack. None of them missed their targets as all 13 of them made a fatal attack.
“Ah? What ability is this?”
“Kill this person!”
“Attack, if we don’t kill this person, all of us will have to die today!”
Two breaths later, the remaining Dwarf Race’s experts had thawed out; and they were all locking their eyes on Jiang Yi with fear and rage. They knew very clearly if they didn’t kill Jiang Yi, the remaining 3000 dwarves would have to perish in this place. If even experts of their levels were icebound, the weaker dwarves could only wait obediently for death.
Chi! Chi!
“He! He!”
Eight snow dragons whizzed at Jiang Yi. One of the dwarves’ attacks was very dreadful. When his twin hammers smashed on the ground, there was an instant wave that radiated out and shook even the spatial zone. Jiang Yi had been struck by it, and his chest felt a moment of smothering sensation as though his body went into the flood and was involuntarily sent flying.
Chi! Chi!
A black whip which was like the god’s whip had flown over like an afterimage and twined around Jiang Yi. With a violent jerk, the whip pulled back; and a transmitted message echoed in Jiang Yi’s ears: “Get down and go for another round.”
This little female devil is rather clever.
Jiang Yi nodded silently. He was unable to control his body earlier, and if Mo Yao’er didn’t rescue him, he would have to release his Astral Winds Divine Shield to block. When those Dwarf Race experts launched their attacks, there weren’t just snow dragon attacks. There were a few other horrific dao pattern attacks, too.
The whip loosened, and Jiang Yi dove underground. This place had extensive tunnels and was isolated by the black soil which made it hard for the enemies’ divine senses to locate him. He could traverse with ease and rush out from a safe place to launch another assault again.
Swish! Swish!
When Jiang Yi dove, Mo Yao’er and others had also quickly dived. Mo Qi ran the fastest and didn’t even bother about Mo Yao’er.
It was obvious!
Jiang Yi was about to release the ‘Icebound Thousand Miles’. Anyone who dared to stay on the surface would be turned into ice sculptures. They might not be frozen to death, but that chilling current was too dreadful. Anyone who had been frozen once wouldn’t want to be frozen a second time.
Bang!
Jiang Yi rushed out and swept with his cold eyes while he burst out with a cold yell, “Icebound Thousand Miles! All of you, get frozen by this Young Master!”
Chi! Chi!
The chilling currents surged in all directions, bringing silence again. All those that could move had been turned into blocks of ice sculptures, and they maintained their original positions. There was one person that was vomiting blood and had maintained that motion while the blood his vomited had turned into a blood-red ice arrow.
“Kill!”
The surface of the ground burst open, and even more Heaven Devil Race members rushed out and started another round of massacre.
