Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 498: Submit to the Martial Arts Hall or Die!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Roar! Roar!

The three demon kings let out a miserable roar of despair, and their massive bodies were turning into ash at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The demon kings by the side could feel as though their bodies were burned by fire. Thus, they quickly fled in all directions with fear.

Buzz!

After Jiang Yi sent out a few palm strikes, he vanished and reappeared beside three other demon kings. He abruptly sent out a few palm strikes which incinerated two more demon kings and severely injured one demon king before instant-shifting again.

“Chief Hall Master!”

Elder Lu and Elder Zeng had sullen expressions. If Jiang Yi continued killing like this, one hundred demon kings wouldn’t even be enough for him to kill, right? The two of them looked over at Dugu Qiu and were eager to join in the battle. They were both above the seventh stage of the Vajra Realm. Even if they couldn’t kill Jiang Yi, they would still be able to hold him back.

“Why are you making a fuss...?”

Dugu Qiu waved his hand and let out a faint smile. He had a calm expression as though everything was under his control.

He had a hand gesture while all the demon kings descended rapidly. They didn’t even use demonic arts as they simply crashed down and used their powerful bodies to kill the Great Xia Kingdom’s army willfully.

“Huh!”

Jiang Yi was struck dumb and helpless as he witnessed more than ninety demon kings killing as they desired.

If he instant-shifted down to pursue after the demon kings, his horrific flames would incinerate the Great Xia Kingdom’s army as well. Before the demon kings had to make their moves, hundreds of thousands of army would be incinerated alive by the horrific flames.

If he didn’t use the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames and the ghost flames, he wouldn’t be able to kill the demon kings. If he didn’t kill the demon kings, the soldiers would still be wiped out by the demon kings.

“Dugu Qiu!”

His eyes swept across Dugu Qiu and the two others who were standing in mid-air with pride. His eyes had a flash of inspiration. Wasn’t that Multitude Beast Pagoda an artifact that belonged to Dugu Qiu? If those peak-grade demon kings were all obedient to Dugu Qiu, it was possible that they were all his spirit beasts.

A spirit beast was one with the master. If the master was dead, the spirit beast must naturally die as well!

Jiang Yi’s body was instantly surging with a murderous aura. If he was to kill Dugu Qiu and the demon kings were to die along with him, he would have neutralized this crisis!

Swish!

His body quickly flickered as he would instant-shift constantly and quickly approach Dugu Qiu. Jiang Yi would use his divine senses to lock onto Dugu Qiu and observe his every movement. If Dugu Qiu was to suddenly make a move, Jiang Yi would be able to respond immediately.

“Chief Hall Master!”

Elder Lu and Elder Zeng yelled out again as they requested to fight. Dugu Qiu waved his hand and let out a faint laugh. “Don’t be in a hurry. Just stand there and watch the show.”

Swish!

Jiang Yi observed for a moment, and when he noticed that Dugu Qiu wasn’t doing anything, he finally couldn’t help himself back.

Dugu Qiu had time to waste, but Jiang Yi didn’t have any. Every second passed would mean a few more thousand soldiers dying. If those demon kings continued their slaughter—in just a few hours, all the troops were going to be wiped out.

Tsk! Tsk!

The Fire Dragon Sword appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand as he cleaved out tens of thousands of fire dragons. Jiang Yi vanished and appeared 600 meters behind Dugu Qiu, about to send out the ghost flames.

“Insignificant.”

Dugu Qiu dealt with the attacks calmly. He casually sent out an essence force attack which turned into a strange beast and clashed with the tens of thousands of fire dragons. At the same time, he sent out palm strike behind him.

Buzz!

Like a breeze blowing across the surface of a lake, the spatial zone behind Dugu Qiu rippled; and the ripples spread out with lightning speed. Just as Jiang Yi reappeared, the ripples reached where he was and made him vanish quickly. Jiang Yi then reappeared in another place kilometers away.

“Forced teleportation!”

Jiang Yi’s hand still had the posture of the palm strike, but Dugu Qiu and the others were no longer in front of him. He had been forcefully teleported again.

Tsk! Tsk!

On the other side, Jiang Yi’s fire dragons had been effortlessly extinguished by Dugu Qiu’s essence force strange beast. Dugu Qiu stood proud in place while he had a faint smile on his face. Just like a cat that was playing around with a tiny mouse.

“Hahaha!”

Seeing Jiang Yi’s stunned and grieving expression, Elder Lu and Elder Zeng both laughed as they understood what Dugu Qiu was thinking.

Dugu Qiu didn’t want to kill Jiang Yi immediately. He wanted to play Jiang Yi so much that he would lose all his temper and would be in complete despair!

Dugu Qiu had comprehended a type of mid-grade spatial dao pattern—Spatial Displacement.

It was able to forcefully teleport enemies with ease. If Jiang Yi had no ways to approach him—no matter how dreadful the Netherworld Ghost Flames were, Jiang Yi wouldn’t be able to harm them.

While the demon kings were slaughtering Jiang Yi’s army, Jiang Yi couldn’t do anything with all the abilities that he had. He could only look on as his citizens and his soldiers were killed while his heart grew with anxiety, fear, and despair.

Ji Tingyu mentioned that Jiang Yi was a sentimental individual, and he was also an obstinate individual. And from the negotiations earlier, everyone had seen it clearly.

So, in order to make Jiang Yi convinced, Dugu Qiu had to first beat down his pride and make him helpless in the face of a crisis. Dugu Qiu wanted to make Jiang Yi understand that he couldn’t save everyone by himself, and the only way to resolve this crisis was to... submit to the Martial Arts Hall!

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi instant-shifted again. His eyes were completely blood red, and his red hair was fluttering violently in the air. Jiang Yi was indeed in despair, and he was unable to kill Dugu Qiu due to the spatial dao pattern. Jiang Yi couldn’t save the soldiers below, and when his Netherworld Ghost Flames were exhausted, he would have to die here.

Buzz!

Dugu Qiu’s mouth was filled with tyranny. His divine senses could easily judge Jiang Yi’s instant shift destination, and his reaction speed was too fast. Before Jiang Yi could even appear, Dugu Qiu would release his dao pattern attack and forcefully teleport Jiang Yi away.

Once, twice... thrice.

Jiang Yi was like a monkey that was being teased in the hands of Dugu Qiu!

Elder Lu and Elder Zeng were originally putting their guards up, but now, they were casually watching a show. They would occasionally laugh loudly while looking at Jiang Yi with eyes of mockery and ridicule.

“Ahh! Ahh...!”

Roar! Roar!

Boom! Boom!

“Lord Regent, save us...”

As the slaughter continued below, miserable screams continued to echo in the ears. The army had already been defeated, and they were all fleeing for their lives. With their strength—let alone injuring the peak-grade demon kings, many of them couldn’t even lift their weapons.

They were just like naked ladies facing a group of terrible and vicious brutes. They were completely helpless, and there was nothing they could do.

Jiang Yi was forcefully teleported again, and when his blood red eyes looked below, he saw that hundreds of thousands of soldiers were dead or injured. Most of them scuttled in all directions and screaming with despair while the demon kings chased after them. The majority of the people was trampled by the demon kings, shrieking on the ground. There were also plenty of them that were looking at him with hope and expectations.

“Ah—!”

He closed his eyes and roared towards the sky with agony. He couldn’t save them, and he had let them down. He had implicated all the soldiers and the citizens here.

“Jiang Yi!”

There was a loud burst of a roar as Dugu Qiu’s mocking expression had vanished. It was replaced with a serious expression as he shouted, “Can you bear to see your army and citizens all die in front of you? If you don’t want them to die—if you don’t want your loved ones, family, and friends to die... you only have one choice. That is to offer your soul seal and submit to the Martial Arts Hall!”

Elder Lu and Elder Zeng flew forward and yelled out at the same time, “Submit to the Martial Arts Hall or die!”

“Submit?”

Jiang Yi was at a complete loss. Was he going to let the entire army die... just for the persistence in his heart? Was he going to let Grandma Silver Flower, the Yazi Beast, Zhan Yiming, and the others be buried together? Was he going to allow Su Ruoxue, Jiang Xiaonu, Jiang Yunhai, Zhan Wushuang, and the others perish along with him?

As a person’s pride, dignity, and freedom truly so important?
