Chapter 303: Desperate Move

“Impossible!”
The royal clan’s experts beside Xia Wuhui looked at one another while Eunuch Wei immediately denied it. “Jiang Yi’s presence, speed, and reaction speed have yet to reach the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm. Even so... he is just barely comparable to a Soul Travel Realm expert. He might have three celestial stones, but even if he refined all of them, he would only barely attain Soul Travel Realm. Crown Prince, you should know this, too. Every stage of the Soul Travel Realm requires a huge amount of essence force. Furthermore, in such a short amount of time, even if Jiang Yi had an endless supply of celestial stones, he wouldn’t be able to progress so much.”
The rest of the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts nodded to agree. It was extremely difficult to cultivate after attaining Soul Travel Realm, and even if Jiang Yi had an endless amount of celestial stone, it would be useless. Without a strong body, it would never be able to withstand the violent essence forces; and strengthening the body required time.
After hearing Eunuch Wei’s explanation, Xia Wuhui was even more bewildered. “Since he isn’t at the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm, then why does he have dao pattern attacks?!”
“I do not know either. Perhaps... this kid has abnormal innate talents?”
Eunuch Wei and the others couldn’t understand. Jiang Yi had comprehended this Wind Shadow Sword a long time ago, but no one else knew. Those who knew were all basically dead. Of course, right now, the fusion of the Wind Shadow Sword with the Fire Dragon Sword and Earth Fire was too powerful. Of course, it attracted so many surprised reactions.
Bang!
The three commanders’ bodies had already exploded into pieces, and more than half of each corpse had charred wounds in it. The soldiers that were in the surrounding were in tragedy, too. As the Earth Fire was sprayed everywhere, there was almost a hundred of them that was hit by the flames. Moreover, under the effects of the Massacre Intent, they were immobilized.
“Die!”
Jiang Yi didn’t have any signs of stopping as he turned around and released the violent attack again. This time, it was at two commanders who were attacking him from the left. These two commanders had an even weaker strength. As expected, they were killed effortlessly.
Swish!

“Right about time!”
Despite Jiang Yi’s blood red eyes which put fear in people’s heart, Xia Wuhui smile became even more intense. He ordered the Soul Travel Realm experts by his side. “The three of you, go and bring Jiang Yi’s head to me!”
“Understood!”
This time, the Soul Travel Realm secret guards didn’t have any hesitation because Xia Tingwei gave the order for them to listen to Xia Wuhui’s instructions. With the king’s orders given, they naturally didn’t need to hesitate. As the loyal servants of the royal clan, they didn’t have to fear anyone; and if something was to happen, Xia Tingwei would be responsible for it.
Tsk-tsk!
These three peak-stage Soul Travel Realm secret guards had been silently following the army. They were very fast, they made their presence vanish, and they had been hiding in the army. Jiang Yi, who had been rushing here, couldn’t see them.
“Die, die, die!”
As Jiang Yi was rushing violently, the surrounding soldiers were all immobilized under the influence of the Massacre Intent. Only these commanders could move, but under his dao pattern attacks, they couldn’t withstand against it at all. A single individual was rushing into an army of two hundred thousand, but it felt as though no one could stop him.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The Divine Martial Kingdom’s war drums began to change into an alternating heavy and soft beat. The army rushing at Jiang Yi suddenly changed their formation and didn’t rush at Jiang Yi anymore. Instead, they took Jiang Yi as the center and quickly backed off, forming encirclement that was hollow for several hundreds of meters in the center. Of course, several hundreds of soldiers, who were immobilized by Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent, still remained in the same place.
Swish! Swish!
At almost the same timing, a few hundred Soul Travel Realm commanders all gathered towards Jiang Yi, shooting their essence force attacks from a distance, which stopped Jiang Yi’s advance. They... actually disregarded the lives of those immobilized Divine Martial Kingdom soldiers by Jiang Yi’s side.
Tsk-tsk!
With an unending stream of essence force attacks being launched at him, Jiang Yi had no choice but to stop his violent rush. He consistently released the Earth Fire from his Fire Spirit Pearl—in order to block this wave of attacks—before considering anything else.
“Ah! Ah!”
As the Earth Fire emerged, the immobilized soldiers were immediately scorched by the high temperature and let out miserable screams that caused the heart to pound heavily.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless essence force attacks flew over, turning the soldiers that weren’t burnt to death into pieces. The essence force attacks ultimately crashed onto the Earth Fire, causing it to blow up and swiftly reduced. Jiang Yi might have the Earth Fire as a protection, but the explosions caused by the essence force attacks created a huge shockwave which caused his blood to boil and organs to get a shock.
The general of the Divine Martial Kingdom is a capable person. Such a ruthless heart!
Jiang Yi sighed with sorrow. The army changed its formation so promptly, and this order was given in a straightforward manner, completely ignoring the lives of a few hundred soldiers. It definitely wasn’t the kind of leadership that Xia Wuhui had.
After the first wave of attacks had stopped, he immediately cleaved forward while he followed along with the two fire dragons towards the army. He had to rush into the midst of the army; otherwise, once his Earth Fire was depleted, he would be immediately torn into pieces.
Three hundred meters, two hundred meters... one hundred meters!
Seeing the soldiers in front being enveloped by his Massacre Intent again and being immobilized, Jiang Yi let out a breath of relief. This time, there were at least a dozen Soul Travel Realm commanders in the nearby vicinity, and they wouldn’t switch into another formation and kill all these commanders as well, right?
“He!”
His eyes locked onto the five commanders as the fire dragons gathered on the Fire Dragon Sword while the surrounding air began to flow. He was preparing to release the fusion martial skill to kill these commanders.

Right at this moment, three shadows in the army suddenly moved. One of them wielded a giant hammer and slammed it on the ground while something strange happened.
The surface of the ground didn’t open up with a large hole; on the contrary, it looked as though a giant stone smashing into a lake. The surface of the ground trembled constantly, and it was the type of intense and violent ripples. The surrounding inferior soldiers staggered and sat on the ground, and so did Jiang Yi as his center of gravity lost balance.
Dao pattern attack!
Those words flashed in Jiang Yi’s mind while he instantly realized this individual was a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert who laid in ambush. If an expert wasn’t at the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm, they wouldn’t be able to comprehend dao patterns.
He forcefully calmed himself and struggled to control his body in preparation to jump upwards. On the other side, there were two individuals who drew across the air with lightning speed. One of them was glowing with purple light as he shot out a finger force, which wasn’t even an essence force attack—it was lightning.
Tsk-tsk!
The lightning was too fast, and the instant it struck Jiang Yi, he felt as though he was struck by a real lightning strike. His whole body’s hair stood on its ends while he felt he was charred. His body swayed while his eyes were rolling white—which was no different from getting struck by real lightning.
Another dao pattern attack!
Jiang Yi could smell the char on his body, and he was appalled. He looked straight at the last expert who was flying over and saw him wielding a long curved blade, which was glistening with rays of light and had the presence of a mountain. It was obviously a saint artifact.
The long curved blade suddenly cleaved, releasing a giant lion’s head shadow which roared as it came with the desire to tear Jiang Yi into pieces. It was at this moment that Jiang Yi could smell the stench of death.
I will risk it! Heavens, bless me!
Jiang Yi’s speed was too slow, and his body was numbed and immobilized. He still had some Earth Fire, but this individual was a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert who was wielding a saint artifact. He knew that his Earth Fire would definitely not be able to block against this fatal attack.
He had no choice but to use this desperate move. His soul spirit was being burned by blazing flames. Before the lion’s head shadow which was produced by the saint artifact long saber could even approach him, his body suddenly vanished.
