Chapter 805 - Battle Maniac
Swish! Swish!
The Heaven Fate Ship suddenly increased in speed and dove like a sharp sword. When it was bypassing a mountain peak, Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian led 30 peak-stage Heaven Monarchs and shot into the mountain peak and underground.
“Form a fan shape and spread out. The opposition is underground, and they have extremely capable evasion techniques. Capture all those that can be captured alive. Do not kill anyone from the Huangfu Clan. Bu Lao, stay behind while the others attack!”
After they went three kilometers into the ground, Jiang Yi sat cross-legged and yelled out. Huangfu Taotian and the other 29 peak-stage Heaven Monarchs revealed a cold intent in their eyes as they fanned out with rushed with lightning speed.
If the scouts continued to follow the Heaven Fate Ship, their whereabouts would be under surveillance. It didn’t matter if there were any scouts from the Devil Island; they simply had to take them out first. As for not killing Huangfu Clan’s scouts, it was a personal order from Jiang Yi. After all, they were Huangfu Taotian’s clansmen; and although Huangfu Taotian didn’t say anything, Jiang Yi still had to give him some face.
Jiang Yi didn’t make a move. With so many peak-stage Heaven Monarchs killing a few dozen scouts, he didn’t have a turn in this. He had an even more important mission which was to scout the location of the scouts and immediately relaying the information to a Green Bird Merchant Association’s elder by his side. The elder would then transmit the message to the rest of the people and make sure that none of the scouts could escape to avoid alerting the enemy.
Chi! Chi!
Huangfu Taotian and the group were like 30 underground dragons rushing beneath the earth. Their speed was fast as the wind; they used lightning speed to outflank the scouts. Everyone extended out their divine senses to search for the hiding scouts.
Jiang Yi entered the Union of Heaven and Man state before he released his Divine Perception. After a few days of scouting, he discovered that the Divine Perception would be even more horrific when in the Union of Heaven and Man state. Unless there was a powerful restriction nearby, no living thing would be able to escape his scouting.
“Bu Lao, there is a scout 20,000 miles to the left who got alerted and is preparing to escape. He is escaping towards his left-back.”
“Bu Lao, Du Lao just flew over a location. Someone possessing a special treasure is making his appearance like a rock. Someone is inside the rock!”
“Bu Lao, get Elder Qing Ri to change towards the right quickly. Three individuals are escaping!”
“Bu Lao, get Big Brother Taotian to be careful. A formidable scout is hiding in front of him.”
“Bu Lao…”
Jiang Yi constantly yelled out while Bu Lao used the message token to relay messages to everyone and remotely controlling the battle. From the distance, there were consecutive severe shock waves and resonating echoes. It was obvious that the battle had already started, and they could even hear miserable screams occasionally.
Bu Lao looked at Jiang Yi who was closing his eyes and silently amazed. This youth was too mystical. Not only did he have the dreadful Thunder Fire, but he could also produce Heaven Paintings, comprehend Divine Sound Heaven Skill, and now he even possessed such mystical ability. He was only in his early 20s. How much more would he grow when he was 50, 80, or 200 years old?
“Alright!”
Thirty minutes later, Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. He grinned and said, “Bu Lao, your merchant association’s people all have formidable combat strength. All the scouts are either killed or captured. The Lei Clan, the Lu Clan, and the Nangong Clan had sent scouts as expected. So did the Huangfu Clan, but they were all captured and not killed.”
“It is Young Master’s ability that is too mystical!” Bu Lao nodded and was in relief. Feng Buxi had already instructed that they must not kill the scouts from the three major clans. Even though Situ Yixiao had given the orders, the three major clans would still remember the grudge against the Green Bird Merchant Association, making their lives very challenging in Gods Bestow City.
As expected!
The surface of the ground shook as the 30 individuals returned one after the other. Many of them carried people in their hands. Those captured scouts all had dejected expressions with eyes of bewilderment as they couldn’t understand how their whereabouts were discovered.
“Come, let’s return!”
The Wind Shadow Cloak appeared behind Jiang Yi as it flourished with a dark green light. Jiang Yi stood up and burst towards the surface of the ground like a violent dragon. The rest of the people immediately followed behind. Huangfu Taotian was carrying one of the scouts, and after he caught up to Jiang Yi, he muttered with dissatisfaction, “Boring. These scouts are too weak. I have yet to get a kick out of the fighting.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi laughed heartily and said, “Big Brother Huangfu, when we get to Devil Island, that will be a great battle; and you will be able to fight to your heart’s content. Then again, be careful… there are tons of experts in Devil Island. I don’t wish for anything to happen to you.”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Huangfu Taotian shook his hand without paying any attention. He suddenly transmitted a message: “Jiang Yi, I actually have a special ability that I have never released before. When we are at Devil Island, I will let you have an eye-opener. Hehe, regular peak-stage Heaven Monarchs will not be able to kill me. This time, I will kill until I am satisfied.”
“You are indeed a lunatic, a Battle Maniac!”
Jiang Yi looked at Huangfu Taotian’s blazing eyes and shook his head with a bitter smile. Huangfu Taotian was just too warlike, but if he wasn’t like this, how would he be able to attain the overall strength of a peak-stage Heaven Monarch at such a young age?
Jiang Yi had experienced countless battles during these few years, and he knew that martial artists were able to achieve breakthrough easily when in life and death battles. Due to their survival being at the edge, their innate potential would be constantly active. Those who didn’t dare to risk their lives and didn’t have the heart to die would never be able to become experts in their entire life.
Everyone’s speed was very fast and took just one hour to catch up with the Heaven Fate Ship. Over ten captured scouts were handed over from Jiang Yi and Huangfu Taotian to Feng Buxi. They also knew that Feng Buxi wouldn’t kill these scouts and would at most imprison them and silently release them afterward. They understood that Green Bird Merchant Associations still had to continue making a living in Gods Bestow City.
After they returned, Jiang Yi used the Divine Perception to scout the ten-million-mile radius; and after making sure there were no more scouts, he closed his eyes with fatigue and rested. Constantly scouting was very exhausting for his mental energy. When Huangfu Taotian saw this, he quickly got Jiang Yi to rest for half a day. He then transmitted a message out and gotten Feng Buxi to send out people to stand guard while he extended his divine senses to scout around.
The journey had been peaceful, and after resting for half a day, Jiang Yi took over the scouting task and constantly evaded the bandit legions along the way. They avoided some Heaven Fate Ships and headed straight for Gods Bestow Sea.
Four days later, when the Heaven Fate Ship arrived at Gods Bestow Sea, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but sigh when he scouted the vast sea region. Back when he led Qian Wanguan and the others, they traveled to the Gods Bestow City from the far and remote Purple Dragon City. All of them were feeling restless and felt that the future was bleak. Today, he had returned to Gods Bestow Sea, but with 10,000 Heaven Monarchs—over 100 peak stage Heaven Monarchs, and was going to eradicate a powerful bandit legion.
Jiang Yi sighed even louder when he recalled when he was afraid that the Martial Arts Hall would send Heaven Monarch experts to descend on Stellarsky Continent. He led everyone and left their homes against their wills and fled with fear. If he was to lead these 10,000 Heaven Monarchs back to Stellarsky Continent, how would Qian Gui, Zhan Yiming, and the others react?
Of course!
This was just a thought as these Heaven Monarchs were not his subordinates, and it was impossible for them to follow him out of Sin Island. Furthermore, even if he was to lead 10,000 people out of Sin Island, they would definitely be exterminated by the Nine Thearchs Clans.
“When can I finally return to East Imperial Continent honorably? When can I return to Stellarsky Continent? I wonder how Uncle Qian Gui, Uncle Zhan Yiming, Grandfather, Shui Youlan, and the others are doing.”
Jiang Yi let out a deep sigh and felt as though he still had a long, long way to go.
