Chapter 461: Rise from the Peril?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A black light flashed by the Human-Faced Toad, and all of its splinters produced white flames. Inside those flames, there were faces after faces of ghosts. Obviously, these were the Netherworld Ghost Flames.

Balls of Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames shrouded the Human Face Toad. When the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames touched the Netherworld Ghost Flames... they seemed to be afraid of getting closer and bypassed the Netherworld Ghost Flames. The Human-Faced Toad which was surrounded by the Netherworld Ghost Flames was not harmed at all.

“Gudu! Gudu! Gudu!”

The Human Face Toad contracted its belly faster and faster. Jiang Yi intended to instant-shift now, but he felt a pain in his chest, spitting a mouthful of blood uncontrollably. He was alarmed as his heart was cracked with a hole as it was overloaded by the fast beating.

“Wu-Wu!”

The Human-Faced Toad suddenly gave a roar. The black light on its body became brighter, and its small body suddenly swelled. It was increased by ten folds like a balloon being blown up. Opening its giant mouth, its scarlet tongue dashed towards Jiang Yi like a lightning. It instantly entangled Jiang Yi’s body and was pulling him towards its mouth.

“Hmph!”

Trying hard to suppress the pain in his chest, Jiang Yi’s eyes were as cold as ice. His other hand which was not tied up swung the Fire Dragon Sword and slashed at the Human-Faced Toad’s tongue.

Clang! Clang!

A clang of metal colliding with each other sounded. The Fire Dragon Sword could break iron as if it was mud and easily shatter the cold iron. However, it didn’t even cause slight damage to this tongue. Instead, his arm trembled, and his hand became numb.

Is this tongue made up of ten-thousand-year-old black iron?

Jiang Yi was surprised in secret, but he didn’t lose faith. The Fire Dragon Sword in his hand glowed with red light and was struck down at the giant mouth of the Human-Faced Toad in front of him.

Tsk! Tsk!

Tens of thousands of little fire dragons whizzed out and flew right into the giant mouth of the Human-Faced Toad. This Wind Myriad was a mid-grade Dao pattern attack; Jiang Yi’s essence force had reached the Vajra Realm. This movement should have an impact like a fifth-stage Vajra Realm expert. Jiang Yi was confident that even an average demon king wouldn’t dare to confront it. Though this Human-Faced Toad was strong, it shouldn’t be as powerful as the Yazi Beast.

“Gu! Gu!”

There was a sliver of sneering in the Human-Faced Toad’s eyes. He spat a mouthful of the same black liquid, which crashed into the fire dragons again, directly annihilating all the fire dragons.

“Flee!”

Jiang Yi was finally flustered. If he was devoured by this monster which had the scary black liquid and the Netherworld Ghost Flames inside its body, he might lose his life there and be excreted as feces.

“Soul-Devouring Shifting Art!”

White light glistened on his body—Jiang Yi was going to instant-shift. However, the Human Face Toad saw through his plot. Exercising its belly, the horrible sound reverberated again, hitting Jiang Yi’s already injured heart. His felt excruciating pain coming from his chest. Blood was spurted out of his mouth. His instant shift was forced to be terminated.

Tsk! Tsk!

In a blink of an eye, he was pulled into the Human-Faced Toad’s giant mouth. Upon closing its mouth, Jiang Yi’s view became dark. He felt like falling into a smooth river. Surrounded by reeking liquid, he drifted down the river.

This river was clearly the esophagus of the Human-Faced Toad. He was probably heading towards its belly.

After being engulfed by the monster, Jiang Yi sensed that the liquid around him was not corrosive. Instead of being anxious, he got excited in secret.

The interior of any man, or any demonic beast, was extremely fragile. He could just cut this beast from the inside and destroy its guts. This Human-Faced Toad could only wait for its death and was unable to attack him.

However—!

Before he was overwhelmed with his secret delight, his spirit sank, for he realized that he couldn’t circulate the essence force when he wanted to launch an attack through his essence force. It was like being entangled by the Devil Star Vines; his essence force was no longer under his control. If he persisted in circulating the essence force, his meridians might break again.

Instant shift!

The moment he had the idea of instant shift, that peculiar plop sounded in his head again, causing a great deal of pain in his chest. Strangely, as long as he gave up instant shifting, that strange sound stopped.

He found out another tragic problem. It was difficult for him to move his body. Covered by that sticky fluid, his body became too weak to move around. Right now, he was like a tied-up lamb and could only slide down the guts of the Human-Faced Toad. He had no idea what awaited him in the end.

Am I really going to die in this beast’s stomach? What kind of demonic beast is this? Why does it possess such strange power?

A sense of refusal surged within Jiang Yi. His brain was spinning with ideas and went through all possible ways to attack, only to realize he had no option but to wait quietly for his death.

Without circulating his essence force, he couldn’t release any of his martial skills or Dao pattern attacks. He couldn’t instantly shift, and so he was unable to escape. His arms and legs were powerless; there was probably no way to even raise the Fire Dragon Sword.

How about the Massacre Intent? However, his Massacre Intent was only at the fourth stage which was ineffective against the demon king. Besides that, he had a lot of Earth fire inside the Fire Spirit Pearl, but could this Human-Faced Toad be burnt by the Earth fire?

“Let me try!”

Clenching his teeth, Jiang Yi began to act. Though his essence force was disturbed, he managed to circulate a sliver of essence force towards the Fire Spirit Pearl and release the Earth fire last time when he was tied up by the Devil Star Vines. If he tried his best, it should also work this time.

A look of madness flitted across his eyes. Circulating a sliver of essence force, he forced it towards his right hand. Unsurprisingly, the chaotic essence force ferociously broke his meridians one by one. He was trembling non-stop in agony.

Buzz!

Several meridians were ruptured, and Jiang Yi’s Fire Spirit Pearl was finally lit up. The Earth fire constantly gushed out. However, to Jiang Yi’s despair—as soon as the Earth fire came out, it was put out instantly. Under the flash of the Earth fire, Jiang Yi found that the sticky fluid around him was actually the black liquid that defeated his Dao pattern just now.

“It’s all over...”

Jiang Yi ran out of ideas. He knew many magical powers, but they couldn’t be released without the essence force. Now, his meridians were broken after he forcefully circulated the essence force. He had no choice but to wait for his Human Face Toad to kill him.

“Eh?”

After sliding along its guts, he suddenly saw a hint of light in the front. Exploring with the divine senses, a trace of surprise flashed by his face.

There was a huge space in front of him, which was filled with the Netherworld Ghost Flames. His body was dragged towards the ghost flames. Without a doubt, this Human-Faced Toad wanted to use the fire to burn him alive.

If he were an ordinary man who couldn’t circulate his essence force or move his body, he would definitely be burnt alive by the Netherworld Ghost Flames. However, there was one thing he absolutely had no fear of—fire!

He couldn’t kill this Human-Faced Toad, but if the Human-Faced Toad could only count on the Netherworld Ghost Flames, it couldn’t kill him either. Thus, there was still hope for him to get out alive.

“This isn’t right!”

Jiang Yi was suddenly struck by an idea, and the radiance in his eyes became brighter. He found the way to kill this Human-Faced Toad. Though he couldn’t use his essence force, it was alright to refine the fire.

He could just refine the Netherworld Ghost Flames, which would augment his power several times. After that, would this black liquid still be able to extinguish the refined ghost flames?
