Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1323: Thunderbolt Rock

While the Rootless Water could last for half a day, the China Root Elixir could only be effective for two hours.

However, two hours was enough for Jiang Yi to run for a few million kilometers, for him to be able to run much more than normal. If he could keep going at this pace in a straight line, he could probably reach the vicinity of the fire lake within two hours.

Unfortunately...

Luo Ting’s men did not give Jiang Yi that luxury. After an hour of running, Jiang Yi had arrived near the place where he had encountered the two Chaos Beasts previously. Suddenly, a few air-splitting sounds came from the left; and Jiang Yi saw five men speedily coming close to him. The pursuing troops were coming to surround him.

Jiang Yi’s body was now as strong as a peak-stage God General. As there might not be a peak-stage God General among the five enemies—in theory, Jiang Yi did not fear them. However, he was very clear that he was not a God General’s match. Once the five surrounded him, he would be killed easily. Even if he wasn’t killed—if he was stuck in combat for a while, the outcome would be dire once the China Root Elixir’s effectiveness wore off.

Hence, Jiang Yi resolutely decided not to continue heading towards the Fire Lake. Instead, he started running desperately towards the south. He wanted to get rid of these five men first.

“Not good!”

After running for five minutes, Jiang Yi found that one of the black dots behind him could not be shaken off. Jiang Yi’s heart sank; there was actually a peak-stage God General among the five. This person’s speed was comparable to his; Jiang Yi could not shake him off.

“Risk it!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes shifted as he decided to wager a little. If he did not injure this person, he was never going to be able to escape. Disregarding the fact that the effectiveness of the China Root Elixir was about to wear off—if his whereabouts were being made known to the enemy, it was easy for them to encircle him and for him to get killed. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan was so powerful; there were definitely going to be tens of God Generals among the pursuing forces this time.

Jiang Yi’s speed slowly became slower as he also grew paler and paler. His eyes suddenly lost their sight as if the side effects of the China Root Elixir was about to hit him. The pursuing God General’s speed swiftly closed the distance between the two. After the God General scanned Jiang Yi, the former immediately perked up as his speed accelerated even more. A huge white battle-ax appeared in his hand, glowing with a cold glow. When the duo’s distance was only ten thousand feet, the God General ferociously hacked the ax at Jiang Yi.

Tsk! Tsk!

A white light descended like a silver river as it cut through the sky and smashed towards Jiang Yi’s back. At that moment, white battle armor appeared on Jiang Yi and blocked the supposedly-fatal blow. However, Jiang Yi’s body was sent flying; and he spat out fresh blood. It seemed as if he had been mortally wounded.

“Hmph!”

The God General’s eyes glistened as he followed closely behind Jiang Yi. The huge ax in his hand lit up again as it hacked towards the mountain region where Jiang Yi had fallen.

Bang!

That small mountain was cleaved into two, and Jiang Yi’s body was sent flying to the bottom of the mountain. Fresh blood continuously welled out from his mouth as his battle armor was also stained red with blood. Jiang Yi’s face was frighteningly pale, and both his eyes were filled with despair. A Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his hand as he suddenly flew upwards crazily and released his Divinity Slayer. Three fire dragons wailed forward.

“Insignificant!”

The God General watched the savage-looking Jiang Yi as his face revealed a sliver of mockery. At this moment, Jiang Yi’s aura had returned to that of a Heaven God; this attack that Jiang Yi had unleashed was also very weak. The God General felt as if Jiang Yi was just like an ant; he could kill Jiang Yi at will!

Buzz!

The God General’s battle armor glowed; it was actually a medial-grade divine artifact. His ax also lit up again. However, after seeing Jiang Yi’s chest full of blood, the God General hesitated. If he whacked at Jiang Yi again, what if he killed Jiang Yi? His eyes shifted as he kept his ax, and a whip appeared in his hand as if prepared to tie Jiang Yi up.

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi had been looking dazed up until this moment. His eyes suddenly lit up as burning flames surged from his Fire Dragon Sword, and tens of wind dragons brought forward the burning flames and surged towards the God General. At the same time, his ring lit up as he threw a huge amount of metal pearls at the God General. At that moment, the entire sky was filled with black metal pearls; and Jiang Yi also quickly retreated.

“These flames!”

The God General was alarmed. His whip had not even managed to attack Jiang Yi when his face changed. The burning flames approaching him were too powerful; its frighteningly hot temperature was coming closer to him, and even he felt a little suffocated.

However, as he wore a medial-grade divine artifact battle armor, he did not believe that these burning flames could burn him to death. He instinctively retreated. However, he had forgotten about one thing. The Divinity Slayer could make use of the heaven and earth pressure to slow him down. Although this pressure was insignificant for such a high-ranking martial artist like him, the God General’s speed was still reduced slightly.

As his speed was slowed, the burning flames’ high temperature came rushing forward; and the God General’s entire body was immolated. His blood began to boil, and his heavenly powers were disrupted. This slowed him down even more, and the God General was feeling stunned. He had forgotten about the small metal pearls filling the sky as he concentrated on how to get rid of the burning flames.

“En?”

For such a high-ranking formidable martial artist, his reaction speed was indeed fast. The God General had finally noticed the sky full of metal pearls and that Jiang Yi was fast retreating. In that split-second, the God General realized this was all part of Jiang Yi’s trap. His elixir had not been used up just yet. Jiang Yi had just been acting all along waiting for this moment.

“These metal pearls are problematic!”

The God General was alarmed as he used his divine senses on the metal pearls and immediately found the problem. Among all the metal pearls, one of them was not a metal pearl—but actually a Thunderbolt Rock!

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The burning flames were coming ever closer, and his speed was slowing down even faster. The distance between the two was too close, and the Thunderbolt Rock had been thrown by Jiang Yi with all his might. It hit the God General, and the huge energy within the Thunderbolt Rock was released. A huge explosion happened.

Boom!

The spatial zone in the vicinity was roiled by this explosion. However, as the Higher Domain’s spatial zone was very steady, even such a huge explosion had not created any tears in the spatial zone. It had only triggered a huge gale of wind and an ear-splitting sound.

The God General had been heavily hit by the explosion as the huge energy within the Thunderbolt Rock surged through his medial-grade divine artifact battle armor and into his body; his entire body felt as if it was spitting apart while he was sent flying heavily.

This formidable martial artist was a peak-stage God General; his physical body was immensely strong. Even after facing such a huge explosion, his bones had actually not cracked; only his organs had been slightly damaged. However, his skin had been burned by the flames and singed with the smell of burned flesh. He cried out a few times in pain as he rolled about on the ground. After making sure he had not been heavily hurt, the God General exploded into the air furiously, prepared to kill Jiang Yi straight away.

Luo Ting had instructed for Jiang Yi to be caught alive. However, this peak-stage God General was now engulfed with rage; he had actually been made a fool and received so much damage from a puny Heaven God? If this matter was made known, he would no longer have face in the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan.

“Something isn’t right...”

The God General had just flown back into the sky when he immediately realized that something was wrong. He found out that there was strange energy messing about within his body; it had actually secretly entered his bloodstream and was now coursing towards his entire body!

“Damn it! This lad had actually applied some Yellow Scorpion Powder on the Thunderbolt Rock! Bastard, I am going to kill you, kill you!” The God General roared in fury. However, he could only watch as Jiang Yi ran far away and disappeared from view.

The Yellow Scorpion Powder was an extremely lethal poison. Of course, for such a formidable martial artist like him, it was not fatal. It would also only take a moment for him to expel the poison. The problem was... within that moment, Jiang Yi would have long ran far away.

Boom!

The God General chose his precious life over the pursuit. He flew downwards as his ring lit up, and a black ball appeared. He ferociously threw it into the high skies. The ball exploded, and a huge shockwave was sent out in all directions. He smiled a little and said, “Little bastard. The young clan head and others are already in the vicinity. Your China Root Elixir is also about to lose its effectiveness, right? I would like to see where you can flee.”
