Chapter 1020: What a Brave Warrior!

Jiang Yi did not manage to proceed as planned this time. He hadn’t even neared the heart of the battle when he realized that from the south, a strange, terrifying aura was spreading this way. He had experienced this mountain-like aura many times. Under such an aura, even he would feel pressured, affecting his speed. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had a powerful mind, his legs probably would be shaking now.

A Demigod martial expert!

With such a formidable martial artist appearing, Jiang Yi did not dare to get too close. This type of martial expert was too fierce and cruel; every one of them had heaven-defying abilities. If things went wrong, he might not even be able to escape.

“Was it the Demigod from the Dwarf Race?”

Jiang Yi silently muttered. The next moment, a loud voice roared, “Mantis Blade Sect, stop at once. If not, do not blame me for showing no mercy!”

“Clan Head!”

“Clan Head, the Mantis Blade Sect killed many of our men. You have to avenge them!”

“Clan Head, the Mantis Blade Sect is too arrogant. Not only do they want to snatch our Ice Beast King, but they also killed thousands of us.”

Countless sorrowful and angry voices rang out. Jiang Yi immediately understood that this person was the Clan Head of the Dwarf Race. He stealthily headed north to hide among the crowd. There were many members of Tiger Subdue Sect there, as well as people from other races. He would not be exposed or implicated so easily if he hid there.

“Mantis Blade Sect, how dare you guys kill my people? If you do not give an explanation today, all of you will have to remain here!”

The Clan Head of the Dwarf Race’s explosive voice rang out again. His aura strengthened and was so pressuring that Jiang Yi had to reduce his speed again. Jiang Yi could see that in front of him, many members from the various Snow Region races were taking a few steps back, their faces full of shock and fear. Although this show was entertaining—if the Clan Head of the Dwarf Race went berserk and killed everyone present, they would really have died a maligned death.

Cao Duantian and company, however, didn’t retreat. Even if the Clan Head of the Dwarf Race was bold, he wouldn’t dare to touch anyone from Tiger Subdue Sect.

“Hmph!”

At this moment, from the northwest came a heavy, cold snort. That voice felt like sharp swords piercing into everyone’s chest. Jiang Yi felt pain in his soul spirit, and his body suddenly fell onto the ground, fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Plop!

Out of those from other Snow Region races who were retreating, more than half fell to the floor. Some even rolled around in pain. The more powerful martial artists looked with shock and fear towards the northwest. Someone shouted with astonishment, “Mantis Blade is here!”

Mantis Blade wasn’t a person’s name. It was what the Clan Head of Mantis Blade Sect was called.

As the third strongest person in the Snow Region appeared, one cold snort from him made half the people present fall to the ground. Jiang Yi was filled with admiration with regard to this level of power and ability. He did not dare to take a step forward, but he hid at the foot of a small mountain and looked to the northwest.

Swish!

A white figure burst forth from the sky. His speed was so fast that Jiang Yi could not even see clearly. It was like a white light slicing through the sky. With the blink of an eye, the figure had disappeared in front. Jiang Yi only saw an imposing and upright silhouette.

“Qiu Shan, you want to force all my men to stay? Do you want to force me to stay as well.”

A thunderous voice exploded forth. Jiang Yi felt his ears jarred. He sent his divine senses forth and locked onto the two towering figures in mid-air, just seven to eight miles ahead.

Although the Clan Head of the Dwarf Race was a Demigod, he was not more than three feet tall. He wore yellowish-gold battle armor and had big eyes and thick brows. He looked extremely arrogant; it was a pity he was too short, thus looking slightly comical.

10,000 feet away from him, in mid-air, was an imposing and upright man. This man similarly had a battle saber-like silver horn on his head. His eyes were also triangular and shining with silver light. This silver light, together with the cold glow of the silver horn, struck fear in everyone who looked.

The Clan Head of Dwarf Race, Qiu Shan’s eyes were filled with rage. Qiu Bai had died in battle while thirty elders, twenty commanders and two thousand more dwarfs had died in Ice Island. Now, another four to five thousand people were dead, many of them martial experts. While the Dwarf Race had many people, they had few martial experts. If the dying carried on, he would soon become a chief without men to command.

In front of so many people, he naturally did not want to appear cowardly. He opened his mouth and said harshly, “Mantis Blade, do you really think I am afraid of you? Your men killed my men indiscriminately. If you do not offer an explanation, I will have to force you to stay today.”

Mantis Blade placed his hands behind his back, and proudly said, “With the likes of you? Not enough!”

“Hahaha. How about after including us?”

From the south came a huge laugh. Following that, two figures burst forth from the sky. One was an elderly man wearing red battle armor, his long hair similarly red. Even his beard was the same fiery color.

The other person was a giant. However, he was taller and bigger than an ordinary member of the Mammoth Race. He looked like a giant mountain. The one who spoke was the red-haired elderly man. He rapidly stood next to Qiu Shan, his eyes full of cheerfulness. He cupped his hands and said, “Mantis Blade, you are indeed strong. However, could you fight all three of us at once?”

“The Clan Heads of Fire Chi Race and Mammoth Race have both arrived!”

Jiang Yi had a dilemma. These three races were ranked quite lowly among the Snow Region Ten Sects. Hence, they always maintained an alliance, advancing and retreating together. During the last battle with Heaven Devil Race, the Mammoth Race had deployed several hundreds of thousands of troops to terrorize Heaven Devil Mountain. When they were trying to kill him in Ice Island, the three young clan heads had also appeared together. If Jiang Yi wanted to deal with the Dwarf Race, it meant he had to deal with all three races at once. Perhaps that was what Heaven Hidden Sect was mindful of. Hence, they did not dare to kill Qiu Ming themselves. Instead, they gave the important task to Jiang Yi.

“Hahaha!”

What astonished Jiang Yi, Cao Duantian, and company was that Mantis Blade actually laughed out loud. His eyes lightly rested on the three Clan Heads and coldly said, “Imbeciles and imbeciles. Three of you added together will still just be an imbecile. Since you guys want to play, I will play with you three. Mantis Blade Sect, listen up, we have to obtain the Ice Beast King. Whoever dares to snatch it, kill without mercy. Qiu Shan and the two of you, come with me.”

Swish!

After saying this, Mantis Blade flew directly towards the southwest. Qiu Shan and the other two Clan Heads exchanged glances. Given the current situation, if the trio were to back down, they would no longer be able to have any standing in the Snow Region. The three races would also never be able to raise their heads again.

Swish! Swish!

The trio became streams of light and pursued after Mantis Blade. In the current vicinity, there were members of the Dwarf Race and the Mantis Blade Sect. Furthermore, the armies of the Fire Chi Race and the Mammoth Race were arriving soon. If the four Demigods were to fight nearby, the residual force from the battle would turn everyone into dust.

“What a brave warrior this Mantis Blade is!”

Jiang Yi, Cao Duantian, and company were all shocked. To fight one to three, it didn’t matter whether Mantis Blade won or lost, lived or died. His name would spread throughout the Snow Region. If he managed to emerge victorious, his reputation would definitely not be lesser than that of Tiger Subdue Mountain’s Curmudgeon Cao.

“Kill!”

The four had just left when the Mantis Blade Sect immediately started battling again. Their Clan Head had given the order. The Ice Beast King had to be theirs. They had to eliminate this bunch of dwarfs.

As the Mantis Blade Sect acted, the remaining members of the Dwarf Race were suffering speechlessly. From seven to eight thousand, they were left with less than two thousand. However, the Mantis Blade Sect had only lost a few hundred people. Qiu Shan’s battle would definitely not be over that soon. However, they—at most—only could last for five minutes before they were all defeated.

“Kill—”

Not long later, from the southeast and northeast directions came a steady roaring sound. The formidable martial artists from the Fire Chi Race and the Mammoth Race had finally arrived. Seeing that the two races combined had more than 10,000 people, the morale of the Dwarf Race rose suddenly. They started a ferocious battle with the Mantis Blade Sect.

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi and Cao Duantian had detected that the Fire Chi Race and Mammoth Race had entered the fray. Both sighed deeply. Today’s huge, messy battle originated with Jiang Yi’s massacre on Ice Island. Cao Duantian’s contributions could not be denied, too. The two of them never imagined that things would develop to such a state.

“Cao Duantian did not have many men around him. Should I kill him and let Tiger Subdue Sect join in this battle? I wonder if Mo Shen would be bringing martial experts as well? If Mo Shen came, things would be even more exciting!”

Jiang Yi’s divine senses captured Cao Duantian a few miles away. He silently thought to himself. Since the waters were already muddied, why not make them even muddier?
