Chapter 351 - Grave Mistake
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with chilling light as he burst out with a yell, “Damn it! He Lao, you hold on. I will go slaughter that brat.”
“Howl-Howl!” “Ka-Ka!” “Du-Du!”
More than ten mutated beasts flocked over while even more mutated beasts emerged from the plains in the distance. None of the mutated beasts attacked Yun Lu on that mountain peak. It was obvious that Yun Lu had control of the restrictions and of these mutated beasts.
“Hmph!”
Jiang Yi didn’t give any regards to these mutated beasts that rushed over in all directions. In his opinion, these mutated beasts had nothing special except their tough defenses. If he was able to suppress tier-three peak-grade demonic beasts, he should have no problem suppressing these mutated beasts, right?
Swish!
Jiang Yi swiftly skimmed to the front, like a breeze blowing through small mountains. He rushed forward in a straight line at a few giant mutated beasts. There were three mutated beasts on that side. One of them was a giant tyrant dragon, another was a snow-white lion, and the last one looked like an ancient species divine beast, the Suanni Beast 1 , but the body was standing straight.
“Massacre Intent!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes immediately turned blood red and killing aura poured out from his body, enveloping these three mutated beasts. These three mutated beasts had sizes similar to demon kings. However, according to He Lao, they should only be comparable Soul Travel Realm experts and should be easily suppressed.
“Uh…”
The result made Jiang Yi and He Lao very surprised because the three mutated beasts didn’t get affected much. Their eyes were still icy cold, and their speeds were only slightly decreased. It was just like Jiang Yi’s first rank of Massacre Intent suppressing tier-two demonic beasts.
Trouble!
Jiang Yi’s face turned grave. It seemed like these mutated beasts were very different from demonic beasts. Yun Lu mentioned there were 999 mutated beasts. He and He Lao might not fear these mutated beasts, but it was impossible to kill all of them. Mutated beasts didn’t have powerful attacks, but their defenses were extremely tough. It wouldn’t be possible to kill so many mutated beasts without spending days and nights.
Continuous battle for days and nights?
Even if Jiang Yi and He Lao had enough essence force to sustain, their stamina and mental energy wouldn’t be able to support them. Hence, Jiang Yi had no choice but to kill Yun Lu. When those mutated beasts weren’t under his control, they would then have the chance to survive. He paused for a moment before he continued onward and was even more determined to kill Yun Lu.
Roar!
The tyrant dragon was at the front, and every leap would bring it three kilometers closer. Its giant scarlet red mouth was already wide opened from far away as it let out a disgusting breath at Jiang Yi, causing him to feel dizzy.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi’s body lit up with white light as he instant-shifted away from the tyrant dragon and continued to press forward. When the tyrant dragon noticed that Jiang Yi was missing, it shook its head and rushed at He Lao.
Tsk-Tsk!
Jiang Yi’s body just reappeared, and he was right in front of the snow-white lion, which opened its jaws and spat out a white breath. Everywhere the white breath made contact with would be frozen—instantly frozen. Jiang Yi’s body shivered, and he didn’t even dare to stay for a moment longer and continued to instant-shift.
Gulp-Gulp!
That mutated beast which looked like the Suanni Beast had an especially long tail. Before Jiang Yi’s body had reappeared, its metal tail was already swinging across, drawing afterimages in the air, while a sharp sound echoed in the air, which caused Jiang Yi’s ear membrane to suffer.
“Damn!”
This time, Jiang Yi didn’t have enough time to instant-shift. His only choice was to swing the Fire Dragon Sword in his hand and cleave at the tail.
Tsk-Tsk!
Jiang Yi used the Bindings of Wind to launch out several wind dragons, restraining that tail. He was surprised to find out that the Bindings of Wind—which could easily restrain Soul Travel Realm experts—couldn’t restrain this mutated beast’s tail.
It still managed to suppress the beast’s speed, which reduced the tail speed by more than 50%. It was imaginable how much strength this mutated beast had.
Pong! Pong!
Two fire dragons crashed on the tail, causing the scales on the tail to burst apart while fresh blood sprayed out. Jiang Yi finally repelled the tail.
Swish!
That tail paused in mid-air before it immediately came back at Jiang Yi. However, there was enough time for Jiang Yi to instant-shift again.
“Yun Lu, die!”
When Jiang Yi instant-shifted for three consecutive times, he had covered over a kilometer; and Yun Lu was just a few more shifts away. Jiang Yi’s surging killing aura and blood red eyes caused Yun Lu’s spirit soul to shiver, and Yun Lu didn’t hesitate anymore before he turned to flee. When he went past a mountain peak, a token lit up in his hands.
Bang!
The mountain peak suddenly burst apart while the soil, rocks, and ice blocks scattered, causing a snowfall as a massive mutated beast emerged. Yun Lu didn’t have any fear as he rushed towards the mutated beast instead and leaped onto its back. The token in his hand had a flash of light again while the mutated beast roared towards the sky and flew into the distance with Yun Lu on its back.
“Yun Lu is really able to control the restrictions and mutated beasts!”
Jiang Yi saw it clearly from behind, and his heart sank. The token in Yun Lu’s hand kept on glowing while all the nearby mountain peaks burst apart. Mutated beasts burst out from the ground and flocked towards him.
Swish!
Jiang Yi constantly and frenziedly instant-shifted towards Yun Lu as he had to pursue Yun Lu at all costs!
The mutated beast that Yun Lu was riding was rather fast, but it was still slower than Jiang Yi’s constantly instant-shifting. There were numerous mutated beasts ahead, and Jiang Yi might be killed by these beasts if he wasn’t careful. If he didn’t take down Yun Lu, he and He Lao would be surrounded by the beasts and killed.
“Go, all of you—go and kill Jiang Yi! Rip him! Bite him!” Yun Lu kept on yelling and steering the mutated beast to flee while controlling the rest to rush at Jiang Yi.
He was truly able to control the restrictions. When he entered this place, he obtained a token for him to refine. It allowed him to control many of the restrictions, demonic beasts, and even the mutated beasts.
His body was flowing with the purest blood of the Yun Clan. The Witch God was very cruel and wouldn’t allow anyone who entered to escape. When he was about to die, he wasn’t ruthless enough to continue killing the members of the Yun Clan.
His sorcery required a Yun clansman to inherit it, and so he left a restriction. If a Yun Clan’s descendant who had considerable talents was to enter, he would be teleported to a special space and obtain this token.
Yun Lu didn’t have great talents but as a prince who obtained the support from the Witch God’s Clan, he was bestowed with some celestial stones. Hence, he was able to refine them and attain Soul Travel Realm recently. These qualities were the bare minimum requirement for the Witch God, and it was fate that allowed him to obtain this token.
After he refined the token, he obtained a map of the Witch God’s forbidden ground and even had the methods on how to control the restrictions. There were also three ancient sorcery skills, but his instincts were inferior. He wasn’t able to comprehend the sorcery skills in a short period of time.
Despite the case, he possessed a unique advantage which allowed him to pass through the second floor, third floor, and the maze. He was now in control of these mutated beasts as well.
In fact… he could directly go to the fifth floor and have that opportunity to obtain the true inheritance of the Witch God, where he would then be able to walk out of this place. His desire for killing Jiang Yi was too great. He had been waiting on the lower floors, waiting for Jiang Yi to catch up. He made use of the restrictions, controlled the demonic beasts, controlled the red-eyed creatures, and controlled the mutated beasts here to kill Jiang Yi.
His heart wouldn’t be at peace if he didn’t see Jiang Yi die. Because his thoughts weren’t sensible enough, he didn’t want to just go to the fifth floor like this.
Now that he saw Jiang Yi was constantly instant-shifting behind him, avoiding each mutated beasts with agile movements and continuously pulling the gap closer. Yun Lu realized that he had made a mistake, a grave mistake. He shouldn’t have stayed here; he should have left for the fifth floor to obtain the Witch God’s inheritance and then find a way to kill Jiang Yi.
“Come then! Jiang Yi, if you want to kill me, then we shall die together!”
There was still some distance before the exit on the fifth floor, Yun Lu knew clearly that he wouldn’t make it before Jiang Yi caught up to him. Hence, his eyes had this vicious look as the token lit up; and a map appeared in his hand. He took a glance, and his face quickly turned malevolent. He made the mutated beast turn to the left without hesitation.
There wasn’t any more ice plain several kilometers to the left, there was a patch of ice sea instead. The ice sea was covered with a thick layer of ice, and it looked extremely calm. Only Yun Lu would know what kind of horror was hidden beneath it.
