Chapter 1224 - You have been Tricked!
The priestess indeed had started to be suspicious of Jiang Yi; Jiang Yi could feel a pair of beautiful eyes locked onto him.
He once again pierced the eyes of yet another demonic dragon as he turned his gaze and glanced at the priestess. His gaze was very invasive; it was filled with wild and apparent desires. The priestess’ face changed. Jiang Yi’s gaze had her feeling slighted; Jiang Yi’s intentions were clear: he wanted to strip her of all her clothes and take her right here within the mountain woods.
This crazed and wild look made the priestess slightly dazed.
Jiang Yi saw her slight confusion, and he became certain of something: this priestess was indeed one of the mastermind’s henchmen, and she had just been suspecting if he was Jiang Yi in disguise. However, with Jiang Yi shooting her such a wild gaze no different from any young savage’s, the priestess started to doubt her own suspicions.
If it was Jiang Yi—by right, he should not have such a look in his eyes.
The rumors spreading had all coined Jiang Yi as a gentleman. Although he was very playful, he had a few absolute beauties with him; he had no lack of women. Thus, this priestess had instinctively assumed that if the savage was indeed Jiang Yi, he would not have such a look of desire in his eyes.
“Very good!”
Jiang Yi continued to attack and injure the demonic dragons, not holding back at all. His intention was to stand out among the crowd so that he could execute his subsequent plans. Of course, he was also trying to get used to his strengthened body and learn this primitive way of battling. At the same time, he wanted to understand the savages’ battle tactics that would aid in his future battles with the powerful tribesmen of the Death God Continent.
Jiang Yi became more and more ferocious as all the Brave Warriors started to notice him; they continued to shoot him looks of admiration, with some of them exclaiming out in affirmation. Within another five minutes, Jiang Yi had already pierced another thirty-odd demonic dragons’ eyes.
It was a pity that there were too many of the demonic dragons; they kept emerging uninterruptedly, and no one knew how many more there were. The savages continued to die, but still, the priestess and her bodyguards did not seem to have any intention at intervening.
The bitter fighting continued, and an hour later, almost six hundred over demonic dragons had been killed; more than half of the savages were also dead and wounded. At this moment, a hair-raising howl could be heard from afar. Following that, a huge demonic dragon that was bigger than five normal demonic dragons rushed forward from the distance. Its speed was as fast as light; even Jiang Yi’s vision could only allow him to barely make out that huge demonic dragon’s body.
“Brave Warriors, retreat. Fierce Warriors, follow me and attack!’
The priestess finally made her move; the low-grade Brave Warriors could not kill this demonic dragon king. If she did not enter the fray, all the Brave Warriors would perish. Under the sound of her voice, all the Brave Warriors started to retreat. They were all very reverent and respectful towards her. In the hearts and minds of these savages, the priestess and the Saint Emperor were both god-like to them.
Swish!
The priestess’ legs nudged a little as she floated down from her tiger’s back. A white light flashed on her body as her speed was increased. Her hand tugged at her waist and suddenly a white flexible sword appeared in her hand. The flexible sword flickered as it became ten thousand beams of cold light and shot towards that demonic dragon king.
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi laughed coldly. The people here did not own metal weapons; this woman was actually holding a powerful ancient artifact? She had already exposed herself.
However, her battle techniques were very strange; she did not release any dao pattern attacks or any mystical abilities. She had only transformed into a shadow and was encircling the demonic dragon king. Her speed was very fast; it was comparable to eight-star formidable martial artists. Her flexible sword also flashed holy light; every time it struck, the demonic dragon king was hurt.
This ancient artifact was very strange. Every time it attacked, the runic patterns on it would become shooting stars and enhance the sword. It was similar to the wooden spears; the ancient artifact became incredibly sharp after that enhancement and would easily pierce through the demonic dragon king’s defenses.
Wuu-wuu!
All the savages raised their spears in the sky as they celebrated the strength of the priestess. The Undying Tribe’s Fierce Warriors and the priestess’ Fierce Warriors also started to attack. The forty to fifty of them had speed and strength far superior to the Brave Warriors’; all the low-grade demonic dragons were being slaughtered with abandon. The savages had gained the upper hand.
Roar! Roar!
The demonic dragon king’s lower jaw, underbelly, and the nooks and crannies of its scales were filled with holes from the sword’s attacks. It cried out in rage as its two sharp claws kept trying to attack the priestess. Its huge body had trampled on all the surrounding trees, and the scene was incredibly messy. After attacking for a while and realizing that it could not hit the priestess, it decided to ignore her and instead headed crazily for the Fierce Warriors.
Bang!
Its speed was much faster than the Fierce Warrior’s. In an instant, it had caught up with a Fierce Warrior and swept its claw at it. One Fierce Warrior was sent flying, his back filled with fresh blood; his bones were even revealed. He had suffered a heavy injury.
“Evil creature, your enemy is me!”
The pretty priestess suddenly became slightly anxious as it swiftly pursued the demonic dragon king. However, it did not bother to engage her; every time she attacked, it would immediately close its eyes. It was impossible to stab its eyes.
Bang, bang, bang!
The demonic dragon king’s body wreaked havoc in the mountain woods, sending Fierce Warrior after Fierce Warrior flying. Within a few minutes, more than ten Fierce Warriors had been mortally wounded. The priestess had also only left some scars on it; it was impossible to severely wound it.
Roar! Roar!
The demonic dragon king once again headed toward four Fierce Warriors. The priestess’ eyes revealed a sliver of rage as her flexible sword glowed with a seven-colored light, and her body shivered with white light. She suddenly flew beneath the demonic dragon king, preparing to split open its belly.
Fool!
Jiang Yi revealed a mocking expression. Although the priestess was indeed strong—she was at least a seven- or eight-star Demigod equivalent, her battle experience was severely lacking. It was obvious that the demonic dragon king was intelligent; its attacks on the Fierce Warriors were intended to bait the priestess into taking a risk and attacking. The demonic dragon king’s real target was her.
As expected!
The demonic dragon king’s rampaging movements stopped abruptly as its huge body started to heave downwards; it was planning to use its immense body weight to flatten the priestess.
Right now!
Jiang Yi asked Mei Ru to sent Chui Ye an order. Chui Ye yelled out loudly, “Protect the priestess, kill!”
Chui Ye yelled out loud. Those Brave Warriors around him had actually not intended to make any moves; the priestess had not given any orders. However, as their mission was to protect the priestess—if she died, they would all be executed. Hence, upon hearing Chui Ye’s roar, they all moved instantly and rushed towards the demonic dragon king fanatically.
“Protect the priestess!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed; he had been waiting for an opportunity such as this to get close to this priestess and take control of her. He speedily followed Chui Ye and dashed forward. Many Fierce Warriors were also heading in the same direction; if the priestess were to die, they would as well.
Roar!
The demonic dragon king suddenly wailed as its body started to thrash about. Its lower body was filled with blood; a huge wound could be seen this time. The priestess had severely injured it this time.
The priestess did not have it much better either; she laid down on the ground, her whole body drenched in the demonic dragon king’s blood. She had been squashed by the huge demonic dragon king once, and no one knew if her bones had been broken as well. She was still on the ground as if unconscious or worse, dead.
Roar! Roar!
The demonic dragon king indeed had some form of intelligence. It rolled about in pain for a few moments and then got back on its feet. Its sharp claws once again reached out towards the immobile priestess.
Chui Ye, now!
How could Jiang Yi watch the priestess die? He asked Mei Ru to send an order as Chui Ye yelled, “Throw the spears!”
Tsk! Tsk!
Chui Ye and the few dozen savages around him threw their wooden spears at the same time. Jiang Yi, however, got off his tiger and transformed into a sharp sword and flew towards the priestess. Mei Ru was already prepared and waiting for Jiang Yi to get near to the priestess.
Swish!
The demonic dragon king in mid-air saw the dozens of wooden spears flying towards it and felt some fear. It was in mid-air currently, and if it did not evade, those wooden spears would all penetrate the wound in its underbelly; it would be further wounded. Hence, it instinctively retreated.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi hugged the priestess and tumbled along the ground. Mei Ru also flew out at a frightening speed from his glabella into the priestess’; no one had noticed anything.
However!
The seemingly unconscious priestess that had been carried by Jiang Yi suddenly opened her eyes as she mysteriously smiled and said, “You are indeed Jiang Yi. Haha, you have been tricked!”
