Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 252: Don’t Humiliate Himself Here

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Soul-Subduing Herb was a very unusual spirit herb, and this herb was expensive—very expensive! It was too rare, and it was a nourishing herb for cultivating the soul spirit. However, no matter how expensive it was, it was still a spirit herb and couldn’t be compared with the value of a celestial stone.

If this was any other normal day or occasion, Su Diwang wouldn’t even bat his eye and hand it over to Jiang Yi.

The problem was that... this was a betrothal gift from the Divine Martial Kingdom. It was precisely because of this Soul-Subduing Herb that Jiang Yi slaughtered thousands of Divine Martial Kingdom’s soldiers and humiliated both Xia Wuhui and Xia Tingwei. If Su Diwang was to immediately hand over the Soul-Subduing Herb to Jiang Yi, wouldn’t the soldiers from the Divine Martial Kingdom have died in vain? Wouldn’t they be utterly humiliated?

Xia Wuhui was completely agitated and couldn’t care anymore as he immediately stood up and snorted. “Jiang Yi, stop your scam. You betrayed your King for glory—all just to obtain the Soul-Subduing Herb? This Crown Prince will tell you now that you are dreaming! This is a betrothal gift, and it is proof that the Divine Martial Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom are joined in marriage. How is it possible for the Great Xia Kingdom to give it to you? You better end this thought.”

Xia Wuhui had thoroughly forced Jiang Yi to go mad. He couldn’t hold back his vicious attitude in his heart anymore. If Jiang Yi was to obtain the Soul-Subduing Herb like this, he would rather find tofu and use it to kill himself ¹ !

Hence, he immediately shed all his pretense and even threatened Su Diwang, using all methods so that Jiang Yi wouldn’t be able to obtain the Soul-Subduing Herb; otherwise, Xia Wuhui would truly go crazy!

“This...”

The people present in the palace had this perplexed expression as they didn’t understand why was Xia Wuhui so agitated? He even forwent his elegance and directly addressed Jiang Yi with his name? Even saying that he betrayed his King for glory? The atmosphere was awkward and even felt as though there was mutual hostility.

Everyone looked at Jiang Yi, wanting to see his reaction.

Who knew that Jiang Yi’s expression was calm as though he didn’t hear anything that Xia Wuhui said? He drank a cup of wine before he spoke to Xia Wuhui calmly, “Are you talking to me? What did you call me? Crown Prince of the Divine Martial Kingdom, is there something wrong with your brain? Didn’t the royal court teach you any etiquette? Don’t you know that you are supposed to address me as Lord Jiang? Or perhaps... your Divine Martial Kingdom has such a well-trained and powerful army that you aren’t even putting the Azure Dragon Empire in your eyes? Are you going to replace the Empire and govern the entire continent?”

Jiang Yi’s manner of speaking was very calm, but every sentence struck at the heart, mentioning Azure Dragon Empire every now and then and using the authority to put pressure. The people on the Divine Martial Kingdom’s side all had this fierce expression, including Taishi Zhen who couldn’t conceal his killing intent. This Jiang Yi was intolerable.

Xia Wuhui had prepared to risk it all; he didn’t have any hint of panic or fear. He clashed head-on and sneered, “Jiang Yi. You and I are clear of what kind of person are you. Don’t try your luck—as this Crown Prince will not bother! Don’t think that because you are some Patrol Envoy, this Crown Prince won’t dare to touch you. If you have the guts, come to the Divine Martial Kingdom and let’s see! If this Crown Prince doesn’t kill you, I will follow your family’s surname!”

The Divine Martial Kingdom was the no.1 kingdom among the others and was the only kingdom that had two Vajra Realm martial experts!

Xia Wuhui spoke with confidence. Even if he was to truly kill Jiang Yi, would the Azure Dragon Empire dare to fall out with the Divine Martial Kingdom? The Great Xia Kingdom was fearful of the Azure Dragon Empire, but wasn’t it fearful of the Divine Martial Kingdom, too?

“Hahahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed out loud like he heard the world’s funniest joke. He pointed at Xia Wuhui and looked at everyone, “Everyone heard it, right!? The Crown Prince of the Divine Martial Kingdom openly declared that he is going to kill this Envoy! Ling Qiang, immediately record Xia Wuhui’s statement and report to the Emperor for him to decide the punishment!”

After he finished his statement, Jiang Yi didn’t wait for Xia Wuhui to speak again before he walked leisurely down the purple-gold stage. While he took each step towards Xia Wuhui, his eyes were radiating with a terrifying glow as he locked onto Xia Wuhui and snorted. “Crown Prince, if you want to kill this Patrol Envoy, why do you have to go to the Divine Martial Kingdom? Why not do it here? Let’s have a fight that disregards life and death!”

“Buzz!”

With his final word ending, the killing aura from Jiang Yi’s body poured out while his eyes turned blood red; the horrifying killing aura instantly enveloped the entire palace hall. The Fire Dragon Sword suddenly appeared in his hand and was glowing with a red light. Two fire dragons swam in the sword’s body, increasing the suppression that was surging towards Xia Wuhui!

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

A group of weaker scholar-officials suddenly fell to the ground while the royal military moved and swiftly surrounded Su Diwang and Su Ruoxue. The Vajra Realm martial expert immediately flashed beside Su Diwang as well. On the other side, the generals from the Great Xia Kingdom and Su Diguo all stood up and circulated their essence forces, getting ready to attack at any moment!

Jiang Yi’s target was Xia Wuhui, and if Su Diwang didn’t give any orders, all of them didn’t dare to act rashly. After all, this was a conflict between Jiang Yi and Xia Wuhui, which they both couldn’t afford to offend.

“Swish! Swish!”

Taishi Zhen and Eunuch Wei rush to both sides of Xia Wuhui on the first notice while circulating the essence force on their bodies. One of the old eunuch’s hands was glowing brightly with the blinding light, getting ready to launch at Jiang Yi. Four other Soul Travel Realm experts arrived behind Xia Wuhui, readying themselves as though they were facing an archenemy!

Every one of them was waiting for Xia Wuhui to give the orders for them to eliminate Jiang Yi!

Xia Wuhui might have been too impulsive and fell out regardless, but he was their master; it didn’t matter if Xia Wuhui was in the wrong. Since he already clashed with Jiang Yi, the servants naturally had to give their all to protect him! If Jiang Yi was to kill Xia Wuhui, these people would not have any mercy and immediately kill Jiang Yi.

Xia Wuhui wanted to give the order; the problem was... he was currently immobilized. Under the double suppression from the Massacre Intent and the Fire Dragon Sword, he couldn’t even breathe properly; how was he going to speak?

“All of you, stay in your place! Otherwise, I cannot guarantee Xia Wuhui’s life!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were icy cold, and in addition to his official’s robes, he had this imposing presence and chilling prowess that put fear in their hearts. His Fire Spirit Pearl was glowing as he looked at Eunuch Wei and Taishi Zhen. He then yelled out, “The two of you can try killing this Envoy, but I will certainly make sure that Xia Wuhui dies. If you don’t believe it, by all means, try!”

“Ss, ss...”

Taishi Zhen and Eunuch Wei took a few cold breaths as they knew that Jiang Yi had a horrific rock that could emit flames. Once that rock appeared, Xia Wuhui wouldn’t even have any scraps left.

The two of them truly didn’t dare to move. Their eyes were glistening, wanting to ask Xia Wuhui what they should do. Xia Wuhui’s entire body was trembling, and his face was pale without a trace of blood. It was already praiseworthy he was able to stand firmly—let alone speaking.

“Envoy Jiang, don’t be rash. Everything can be negotiated; everything can be negotiated!”

Su Diwang’s strength was actually quite competent? Even though he was panting due to the killing aura from Jiang Yi, he still managed to force out a smile and speak, “Let’s not disrupt the harmony. Nothing good will happen if anyone is accidentally injured!”

Jiang Yi remained silent and looked at Eunuch Wei and Taishi Zhen while his killing aura and prowess continued to suppress Xia Wuhui. His ice-mountain-like blood eyes coupled with the Massacre Intent were truly terrifying.

“My King...”

The Vajra Realm Consecrator whispered to Su Diwang from behind and gave an inquiring look. As long as Su Diwang nodded, this consecrator would immediately oppress Jiang Yi and kill him. This Jiang Yi was too presumptuous today, so much that even he couldn’t bear watching.

Su Diwang’s eyes flickered and quickly shook his head after some considerations. He had a weak personality and had lost all his prowess; he just wanted to make sure that the Great Xia Kingdom wouldn’t perish during his rule. He didn’t want to take any risks.

The situation persisted like this: Jiang Yi remained silent and motionless while the others didn’t dare to make any rash moves either. Eunuch Wei and Taishi Zhen’s expression was looking awful while the four Soul Travel Realm guards looked even worse. Their palms and back were all drenched in cold sweat.

“Clang!”

Xia Wuhui finally couldn’t take it anymore. He was just at the peak-stage of Purple Mansion Realm, and if the Massacre Intent could affect a lower-stage Soul Travel Realm expert, what would happen to him? Coupled with the suppression from the Fire Dragon Sword, he was already good enough that he could withstand for such a long time.

He had been suffocating from the suppression, which was made worse by his anger that affected his heart. His eyes rolled white, and his body went soft before he immediately fainted.

At this moment, the red light in Jiang Yi’s eyes vanished; and his Massacre Intent was withdrawn. He sheathed the Fire Dragon Sword and walked back onto the purple-gold stage, letting out a grin, “Since King Su has spoken, this Envoy naturally has to offer some respect. This time, I will not be calculative with him. Carry your Crown Prince out and ask him not to humiliate himself here.”

“Huh...”

Everyone suddenly had a realization, and the majority of them silently gave a thumbs-up. Jiang Yi didn’t have any intention to kill Xia Wuhui; it was obvious that he was making use of the Massacre Intent to force Xia Wuhui to faint so that he would shut his mouth!

His objective was still the Soul-Subduing Herb!
