Chapter 477 - Old Devil, You are Fooled
“Eh?”
When Ling Clan Patriarch was about to attack, he suddenly realized a problem. All Jiang Yi’s images looked like him. Even he, with such powerful divine senses, couldn’t tell them apart.
Swish!
Jiang Yi’s four images swept over like blasts of wind. Tens of thousands of fire dragons whizzed by along with them. Ling Clan Patriarch had to retreat to the rear and wait until the attack was over.
“Sigh…”
Ling Clan Patriarch was moving too fast. Jiang Yi’s previous attack became useless as it couldn’t keep up with the speed of the opponent. Jiang Yi had no alternatives but to instant-shift, but he couldn’t control his images very well as he was instant-shifting. Soon, all of his images collapsed in mid-air.
“Ha!”
When Jiang Yi just appeared in the air after instant-shifting, Ling Clan Patriarch—who was not far away—raised his hands and shot a golden finger force, along with a mighty king aura. The Emperor Intent was released as well, which messed Jiang Yi up. He was just one step close to letting down his defense and waiting to die.
The King had asked his subject to die; his subject had no choice but to die!
This was the great thing about the Emperor Intent. Only one look would compel an ordinary person to commit suicide, without any other attack. The Imperial Finger Force had the capability of letting all subjects bend their knees and pledge their loyalty.
“Hmph!”
Luckily, Jiang Yi was born to be defiant. The harder he was suppressed, the more his innate arrogance would rebound. He had never been a loyal court official. He was the traitor to the Divine Martial Kingdom back then and didn’t care about the rules between the king and his subjects. Thus, the Emperor Intent didn’t have much impact on him. He looked up and struck with his sword to keep out the Imperial Finger Force. With his body glowing with white light, he disappeared.
Tsk! Tsk!
Ling Clan Patriarch’s Imperial Finger Force was so powerful that when it hit the tens of thousands of fire dragons released by Jiang Yi, it was like a true dragon colliding with a swarm of mud dragons. They weren’t at the same level at all.
Boom!
After the golden finger force destroyed Jiang Yi’s tens of thousands of small dragons, it shot into a giant mountain in a distance. Along with a deafening boom, the mountain was blown up from the middle. The hillside was blasted into dust, and the rocks fell down with a loud crash, causing the ground to tremble and dust to surge up.
The demonic beasts around the area were frightened, and they fled in all directions—as if it was the end of the world.
Oh my god!
Jiang Yi appeared on the peak of a small hill in some distance away. He was secretly worried when looking at the fallen mountain. This Ling Clan Patriarch was way stronger than he imagined. He could definitely kill Xiao Longwang instantly!
However, it suddenly occurred to Jiang Yi that Ling Clan Patriarch had reached the peak stage of the Vajra Realm a hundred years ago. Even if he didn’t make any progress in this hundred-year time, his power would still be formidable. He was an absolute master who was halfway in attaining the Heaven Monarch Realm.
“What should I do now?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes were flickering; he didn’t dare to instant shift recklessly. He was confident that the Netherworld Ghost Flames would kill Ling Clan Patriarch, but… how would he approach him? Space would oscillate whenever he instant-shift. Even Xiao Longwang could pinpoint his location accurately, let alone Ling Clan Patriarch.
Once he instant-shifted to the Ling Clan Patriarch, the attack from Ling Clan Patriarch would probably arrive before his body condensed. He couldn’t have the time to release the Netherworld Ghost Flames before being shredded into minced meat!
If he didn’t come closer…
There was no way that his attack would harm Ling Clan Patriarch. Before his Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames and Netherworld Ghost Flames could get closer, Ling Clan Patriarch would already move away. As for the other attacks, they were jokes to a peak-staged Vajra Realm expert.
“Huh, little bastard! Die!”
Ling Clan Patriarch got impatient upon seeing Jiang Yi remain still on the small hill. If the Demon Empress indeed attacked the Stellarsky City, the Ling Clan would be without heirs. Thus, he had to kill or capture Jiang Yi as fast as he could before immediately heading to the Summer Rain City to look for more information.
Capture him alive?
Ling Clan Patriarch was tempted. If he managed to catch Jiang Yi alive, he might be able to threaten the Demon Empress. Turning his eyes, he was secretly planning to capture Jiang Yi alive if possible.
Swish!
Ling Clan Patriarch was moving too fast. Though he was 33 kilometers away from Jiang Yi—in two blinks of an eye, he had crossed a distance of 30 kilometers. Lifting his hand, he was about to shoot finger forces, but Jiang Yi suddenly moved at this moment. Jiang Yi’s hand lit up with cyan light, he struck dozens of slaps all of a sudden. A dark cyan fire whizzed by and was spread around half of the sky.
Such a powerful flame… did this flame the one that killed Eunuch Lin and crippled Xia Tingwei?
Ling Clan Patriarch paused before retreating. He dared not to come closer. Though his physical body was strong—and the flames couldn’t kill him, he would definitely be burnt if he got kissed by the flames. Thus, he kept shooting out finger forces while moving backward.
Hoo-Hoo!
The Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames whizzed, which distorted the air and lit fierce fire below them. Unfortunately, they were still too slow compared to Ling Clan Patriarch and couldn’t hurt him at all.
Boom!
Ling Clan Patriarch’s Imperial Finger Force penetrated the sea of fire and shot at the mountain where Jiang Yi was standing. Instantly, that mountain was blown up into countless crushed stones. Clouds of dust were billowing up and covering the sky and the ground.
“Little bastard, where are you going to escape now?”
Ling Clan Patriarch went around the sea of fire. When he saw Jiang Yi had left by instant-shifting, he swiftly chased after him. Whereas, Jiang Yi released another fire of sea in the distance to stop the Patriarch. As the same time, he kept on instant-shifting and escaping.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ling Clan Patriarch continued to release the Imperial Finger Forces, smashing the mountains around him. Jiang Yi’s Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames set the forests below him on roaring fire. There were numerous mountains around them, but in a fleeting moment, dozens of them were destroyed by Ling Clan Patriarch.
Hoo-Hoo!
Jiang Yi appeared on the peak of another small hill. He complained in secret upon seeing Ling Clan Patriarch marching towards him like a mad wind. He would eventually be killed by Ling Clan Patriarch if this situation persisted.
After all, his body and soul spirit were too exhausted. Any mistake would render him dead. Besides, Ling Clan Patriarch was giving out ordinary attacks like the finger force and had yet to release any advanced attack. Once he delivered some powerful dao pattern attacks, probably Jiang Yi wouldn’t even know what got him killed.
I have to do it!
He waited for Ling Clan Patriarch to come closer and lit a sea of fire before instant-shifting again.
This time, the place that he decided to instant shift was very clear. He was certain that the Patriarch would avoid the sea of fire again so Jiang Yi calculated the speed of his retreat and the speed of instant shift.
He appeared on the ground below Ling Clan Patriarch this time. One leg tapped the ground, causing the ground to shake, his body shot up like a dragon. He turned into four images in the mid-air, which were shooting towards Ling Clan Patriarch like four sharp swords.
“Huh! The ants dream to shake the sky!”
Ling Clan Patriarch was not alarmed at all. To him, it didn’t matter whether Jiang Yi was one image or four images. Lifting his hand, he shot out four traces of finger forces which were aiming to the four images respectively.
“Observatory Hostess! Master! Why haven’t you attacked yet?”
Jiang Yi shouted violently at this moment and disappeared in mid-air all of a sudden. This time, he showed up in the air one kilometer away from Ling Clan Patriarch.
He was going to take a gamble. If he didn’t succeed this time, he might never have the chance to kill Ling Clan Patriarch.
“En?”
As expected, Ling Clan Patriarch fell for the trick. Cold radiance flickered across his eyes, and his divine senses shot to all directions. If Shui Youlan and the old monk were ambushing here, he might be killed instantly.
No matter how powerful a martial artist was, he was ultimately still human. Humans had their instincts. As Jiang Yi shouted, Ling Clan Patriarch was startled instinctively and was going to search for Shui Youlan and the old monk. Naturally, he lowered his defense against Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi could, therefore, instantly-shift above him.
“Hahaha! Old devil, you are fooled! Demon Empress, attack now!”
Jiang Yi appeared on top of Ling Clan Patriarch and suddenly let out dozens of palm strikes. The fire spirit pearl was lit up simultaneously. Balls of ghost flames appeared quietly, which were hidden in the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames and shooting towards Ling Clan Patriarch.
Jiang Yi was only one kilometer away from Ling Clan Patriarch and was not very close to him. However, if Ling Clan Patriarch’s reaction could slow down a bit, it could very likely hit him!
