Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

“What’s happening?”

 Wu Zu and others had last yells had chaotic essence force poured inside, making it very loud which echoed for hundreds of miles. Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu, who were inside that bandit legion’s encampment, had gotten a show.

 Swish!

 The two of them were still in a panicked state when a peak-stage Heaven Monarch rushed in from outside. Before he yelled out before he was even inside, “Young Master, quickly escape. Jiang Yi had killed the five consecrators and over ten thousand bandits. Hurry up and run; otherwise, it will be too late!”

 “What?”

 Wu Ni turned pale with fright while Ji Tingyu who had always been calm and collected also had a pale expression. Wu Ni grabbed the subordinate by the neck and yelled out, “What are you saying? Uncle Wu Zu and the others had been killed by Jiang Yi? Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong? How can Jiang Yi be a match for them?”

 Ji Tingyu reacted quickly and shouted, “Everyone is to listen to the orders. Scatter and escape! Escape at your fastest speed right now! Young Master Ni, immediately crush the jade talisman that your King Father gave you.”

 Wu Ni’s eyes might be filled with disbelief but had also reacted. It meant that they didn’t hear wrongly when they heard Wu Zu and the others’ yells. It didn’t matter how Jiang Yi did it, it was still a fact that Wu Zu and the others had been killed. What he had to do was to escape immediately; if not, Jiang Yi would kill him mercilessly.

 Wu Ni took a glance, and when he saw that no one was moving, he instantly shouted, “What are you idling around for? Act according to what Tingyu said!”

 Once he finished giving his instructions, he took out a black jade talisman and crushed it. This was a life-saving jade talisman that his King Father gave him. Once it was crushed, the North King would know immediately and would send reinforcements over at first notice.

 Wu Ni had brought a few hundred men, and he assumed that Ji Tingyu would use the same method as before to use the others to lure Jiang Yi to kill them while they hid and waited for rescue.

 Swish! Swish!

Hundreds of people were very obedient and had scattered out. Wu Ni took out his spatial artifact and was preparing to teleport both of them inside. Ji Tingyu then shook her head and said, “Young Master, you go in yourself. We are not going to be as lucky as the previous time. Jiang Yi is very smart, and this place is too close to the battlefield. I reckon that he could guess that we are hiding here, and if we both hide inside, we will be discovered by him. Your King Father’s men will probably need two hours before arriving…”

 “Ah?”

 Wu Ni raised his brows and said, “What should we do? My speed isn’t fast enough, and we cannot ask someone to carry us as the others had already fled. If we are to flee like this, Jiang Yi will surely catch up to us.”

 “Ke-Ke!”

 Ji Tingyu looked at Wu Ni with deep emotions and said, “Young Master doesn’t have to worry. With Tingyu around, how can I let you suffer any harm? Go inside the spatial artifact. I will go and lure Jiang Yi away. If he chases after me, he will not be able to find you. You will be safe when your King Father’s men arrive.”

 “No, no way!”

 Wu Ni was so emotional that he nearly cried. In his entire life. No woman had treated him like this. He pulled Ji Tingyu’s hand and spoke with a sobbing voice, “Tingyu. I can’t do that. If we are going to die, we will die together. If you land in the hands of Jiang Yi, you are certainly going to die!”

 “Young Master, you are wrong!”

 Ji Tingyu let out of Wu Ni’s hand and smiled. “Jiang Yi believes that Su Ruoxue is in our hands, and so he will not dare to kill me. Don’t worry, I have my own way of escaping. I understand Jiang Yi the most; he will not kill me.”

 Swish!

 Finishing her statement, Ji Tingyi floated into the distance like a yellow cloud.

 “Tingyu!”

 Wu Ni howled miserably when Ji Tingyu left. He had sworn in his heart if Ji Tingyu made it back to North Thearch City peacefully, he would surely marry her immediately!

 “Ke-Ke!”

 When Ji Tingyu heard Wu Ni’s voice, she let out an indifferent smile. She had taken such a risk for her own reasons.

Firstly, it was because of what she had explained earlier. It was very dangerous for the two of them to hide together, and once they were discovered by Jiang Yi, they would be killed ruthlessly and wouldn’t even have the chance to trick Jiang Yi. If she left alone, she might be able to dupe Jiang Yi.

Secondly, it was to make Wu Ni completely devoted to her. After this incident, it would be hard for Wu Ni not to marry her.

 She wasn’t formidable, and her speed was much slower as compared to those peak-stage Heaven Monarchs, but she wasn’t in a hurry. She leisurely ran towards the east and tipped on the mountain peaks with a single leg, allowing her delicate body to float like a fairy and continue to fly into the distance.

 Swish!

 Forty-five minutes later, Jiang Yi flew over violently. Ji Tingyu guessed it correctly: Jiang Yi had suspected that Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni were hiding inside the mountain previously. Thus, when he arrived at the north of the mountain range this time, he had immediately scanned for hiding places.

 He had quickly discovered over a dozen bandit encampments and noticed there were plenty of people escaping in all directions. He didn’t bother about those people and was preparing to shatter all the bandit encampments before he investigated. Those hundreds of people had fled from this vicinity, meaning Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu must be hiding here somewhere.

 “En?”

 When he scouted to the east, his body suddenly shuddered as he had spotted a figure that was a few hundred miles to the east. It was a figure that he was extremely familiar with.

 “Ji Tingyu? How can it be possible?”

 His eyes abruptly widened, and he rubbed his eyes before he scouted again. The results had confirmed that the person was really Ji Tingyu. Furthermore… she didn’t have any guards with her.

 “Kill!”

 He didn’t bother so much and didn’t care if there were any ambushes. He immediately tore the sky and used the Heaven Evasion to head over. He took just a few breaths of time to appear ten miles in front of Ji Tingyu.

 “Ke-Ke!”

 When Ji Tingyu saw a blurry figure appearing from the spatial zone in front of her, she didn’t escape anymore and stood on the peak of a small mountain. She quietly watched as Jiang Yu shot over like a violent dragon.

 “It is really you?”

 Jiang Yi’s blood-red eyes stared at Ji Tingyu who stood on the mountain peak in the distance. After his divine senses scanned Ji Tingyu’s soul spirit and made sure it was her, he closed his eyes and entered the Union of Heaven and Man to scout the vicinity.

 “Jiang Yi, stop checking. There are no ambushes over here!”

 Ji Tingyu laughed calmly, and the gale had caused her yellow dress to flutter loudly and her black hair to dance in the air. She had this mesmerizing smile as she spoke gently, “This time, I originally wanted to bring ten Demigod experts, but Wu Zu—that fool overestimated himself to be very powerful. Hence, we only brought five of them. Even if I wanted to ambush you, I have no one to use.”

 “Hmph!”

 Jiang Yi’s face was filled with killing intent as he formed the Astral Winds Divine Shield and ten astral wind blades. He flew closer and spoke coldly, “Ji Tingyu, aren’t you very clever? Why are you so foolish this time? Why do you want to throw your life away?”

 “Ke-Ke!”

 Ji Tingyu let out a faint laugh and stroked her hair and said softly, “Jiang Yi, you wouldn’t dare to kill me. Ruoxue is still in North Thearch City. If you kill me, what will happen to Ruoxue? Of course, I have to admit that it is really a foolish move for me to appear. However, I came nevertheless because I wanted to see you, to see my most beloved… man!”

 “Hahaha!”

 Jiang Yi let out hysterical laughter while his red hair danced in the wind. He was as though he had heard the world’s funniest joke, and he laughed for quite a long time before he sneered and looked at Ji Tingyu. “Continue to lie.”

 “I am not lying to you.”

 Ji Tingyu let out a slight sigh and looked into the distance and said, “Jiang Yi, I am actually rather remorseful. Back then, I had chosen Jiang Yiliu and went against you, which was the worst mistake I have made in my life. Who would have thought that a small clan’s youth in Skyplume City would develop into his current status? One wrong move is followed by multiple wrong moves! Jiang Yi… if I am now willing to follow you with all my heart, to help you rescue Ruoxue, to help you extinguish the Wu Clan, to help you unify the East Imperial Continent… will you accept me?”

 Jiang Yi’s face didn’t have any waves of emotion. He simply looked at Ji Tingyu with a cold expression and said, “Do you have anything else to say?”

 “Nothing else!”

 Ji Tingyu let out a smile, closed her eyes, and stood there peacefully and said, “Jiang Yi, you want to kill me, you can do it now. It is Tingyu’s honor to be able to die in your hands!”

 “I will grant your wish!”

 Jiang Yi flew over rapidly and dispelled the Astral Winds Divine Shield while his hand turned into sharp claws and grasped at Ji Tingyu’s chest. Ji Tingyu wasn’t at the Heaven Monarch Realm and couldn’t release any divine shield. Hence, Jiang Yi directly grasped her heart.

 Her eyes had widened abruptly, and they were filled with disbelief. Fresh blood oozed out from the corner of her mouth as her lips shivered a little and uttered a few words. “You really… killed me. Are you not afraid… Ruoxue…?”

 Jiang Yi pulled hard with his hand and pulled Ji Tingyu’s heart out while she was alive. He grinned and let out a grim smile and said, “Ji Tingyu, you are too clever. Back then, I swore that I will kill you if I have the chance. I am sorry… I didn’t hear a single word that you said earlier!”

 Bang!

 Jiang Yi brandished his arms and turned Ji Tingyu’s body into a blood mist.

 Ji Tingyu’s wisdom and intelligence were too high, and he was really afraid of this woman. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to put any of her words into his heart, and he didn’t care anymore. No matter what plans she had, he used strength to overpower and immediately kill her.

 Ji Tingyu, dead!
