Chapter 1078: Nobody Can Live!

The moment he activated the Icebound Thousand Miles, the power of ice and snow and the essence energy of heaven and earth gathered inside Jiang Yi’s body. Jiang Yi’s body emanated cold winds that rushed outward in all directions at a frightening speed.

Every living thing that the cold winds blew past froze up immediately: the river next to them froze up, and the living things on the fields became a patch of white. The surrounding temperature dropped, and everything within a five-hundred-kilometer radius turned to ice as well.

“Uh…”

Everybody was beyond shocked. Their eyes widened into huge circles. Everything within sight was no longer moving. Even their essence force and blood in their veins felt like they had been frozen.

“Five-star dao pattern—the Icebound Thousand Miles!”

Any martial artist who knew their stuff knew this dao pattern. A few of the formidable martial artists from the Zhan Clan even began to suspect Jiang Yi’s true identity. The number of people who had realized such a pattern was too few. If he was just a general from the Tang Clan, he would have become famous a long time ago. He could not have remained under Tang Ming for such a long time.

There was too little snow in the East Imperial Continent for ordinary martial artists to realize snow- and ice-type dao patterns. If anyone could realize such a dao pattern, they would be well-known across the continent. The Tang Clan would have made good use of such a fighter as well.

Since snow was rare in the continent, the tens of five-star martial artists had poor resistance to snow- and ice-type attacks. They did not know how to react to them either. At the moment, nobody knew what to do.

Dong dong, wu wu~

Very quickly, there was no longer any need to guess Jiang Yi’s true identity. A soft sword appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand as he released the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. At the same time, the Rainbow Soul Spear appeared in front of them, and he summoned the astral winds with his other hand. He was making use of every mystical ability that he knew. His goal was obvious—he wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible and kill everyone.

The massacre began. The Icebound Thousand Miles and Divine Sound Heaven Skill made a terrifying pair. Together with the Astral Wind Blades’ and the Rainbow Soul Spear’s attacks, everything happened way too quickly.

In a blink of an eye, all the ten Astral Wind Blades flew across the region, cutting up hundreds of people. The Rainbow Soul Spear also went through the brains of about two hundred people. The group was too dense—each strike by Jiang Yi killed hundreds of people.

“Jiang Yi!”

Finally, someone figured it out and called out. At that moment, he felt a piercing pain through his mind. The essence force in his hands stirred as he prepared to activate a formidable dao pattern. However, Jiang Yi was one step ahead of him in releasing the Icebound Thousand Miles.

There was no mistaking such attacks—Jiang Yi had already proven back at the Snow Region that killing a couple of Heaven Monarchs was easy for him. He locked in on the five-star martial artists and slaughtered them first. Then, it became even easier to get rid of everyone else. They were like fish on a chopping board, ready for Jiang Yi to slice them up.

Just like that, Jiang Yi killed more than three thousand people. If there had been observers present, they would have been stunned by Jiang Yi’s ruthlessness. He did not even flinch as he killed these people. After all these years, he was used to doing this heartlessly.

Swish! Swish!

Many rings flew up in the sky. Jiang Yi made one round and collected all of them. He turned to scan the mountain of corpses coolly. There was not a hint of emotion on his face.

“Nine Heavens Dragon Flames!”

He raised both his open palms and burned the entire mountain of corpses. At the same time, the heat from the flames caused the ice all around to melt. Then, he sped toward the south once again.

Jiang Yi still did not use Heaven Evasion. Before he could be sure that his identity was not exposed, it was best that he did not take unnecessary risks. As for… the Zhan Clan’s Blood Debt Seal, he could think about how to deal with it later.

Crash.

The Nine Heavens Dragon Flames spread all around and the ice melted. Slowly, the river far away turned to water again. Jiang Yi heard the sound of the coursing river. The water in it was no longer clear but was dyed red instead. The entire region was covered in the metallic smell of human blood.

Jiang Yi’s battle ended very quickly, but when he released the Icebound Thousand Miles, many people in the region were shocked. Yet, no one dared to come near to him. Even the aristocratic families’ scouts dared not come any nearer. Instead, they transmitted messages back to their clans immediately. This reaction was natural in the face of such a formidable skill.

An hour later, one of the Chen Clan’s armies who had been in a nearby city approached the scene. When they processed the sight in front of them, all of them were shocked. The Nine Heavens Dragon Flames had burned the corpses, but it could not burn their bones. After all, bodies of Heaven Monarchs were strong, and their bones were extremely hard. The group surveyed the burnt land, the charred bones, the broken battle armors, and the smell of blood.

“They’re all dead? Tell Young Master immediately!”

Two men in black robes ran over from the south and surveyed the scene as well. The color drained from their faces. One of them continued to look around as the other one picked up his command token to send a message back to his clan.

…

“What?”

Zhan Tianlei had been tasting tea together with Yin Ruobing when the command token hanging from his belt vibrated. He picked it up, and his expression changed at once. The hand holding the teacup trembled, causing the cup to fall onto the ground.

“What’s going on? Young Master Tianlei?” On seeing his expression change, Yin Ruobing became curious.

“It’s nothing!”

Zhan Tianlei forced a smile and sank deep in thought. He bid farewell to Yin Ruobing and excused himself to the courtyard.

“They’re all dead? Even Sixteenth Elder is dead?”

When the man in the black robe standing in the corner heard Zhan Tianlei’s message, his wrinkled face fell. He had thought that killing Yi San would be an easy feat. Now, it was hard to think of this entire problem as a small matter.

The Zhan Clan had always been low-key. All they did was to guard their Mystic Heaven City. However, it was not true that they had no collaborations with other clans. It was just their collaborations were all in secret. In the few regions nearby were four clans who were in collaboration with the Zhan Clan. They had gathered all the formidable martial artists from these clans to go after Yi San. Now, the entire army had been killed. Even the Zhan Clan’s elder and more than two hundred Heaven Monarchs were dead. Could they just ignore it?

Zhan Tianlei knew that there would be trouble ahead. There was no way that they would be able to hide this matter, given that so many people’s lives had been lost. The Zhan Clan had strict rules. Zhan Tianlei would be punished for sure once he returned to the clan.

Being punished was one thing, but this would definitely jeopardize his place as the next Zhan Emperor. He had not even become the Young Clan Head, and he had many brothers and cousins whose talents were equally impressive. Whether he could still become the Young Clan Head was uncertain now.

Zhan Tianlei paced around the huge hall. Moments later, he gritted his teeth. “No way, I must kill Yi San! Uncle Gui, send people to chase after Yi San. Once they find him, I will go after him myself. There is no way we will be able to keep this under wraps. If I don’t kill Yi San, Grandfather will think less of me after I get back. Then, I will lose the position of Young Clan Head for sure. You know my brothers and cousins well, and that freaking bastard…”

“No way!”

The elder in the black robe shouted resolutely. “Young Master, you just became a Demigod. Your skills have not stabilized. You cannot take this risk! If the Clan Head and Family Head find out that you risked your life for a puny Yi San, they will be even angrier for sure. You know the Clan Head’s temper very well. The Family Head warned you about this before.”

“This…”

Zhan Tianlei was speechless for a second. He turned to the black-robed elder anxiously. “Uncle Gui, what should I do then?”

The elder in the black robe lowered his voice and said, “Go back to Zhan Thearch City. Tell the Family Head everything that has happened and admit your faults! Young Master and Lady Yin are going to get married in a couple of months. The Family Head will not punish you too severely. As long as the wedding goes well, you will become connected to the Yin Clan. Then, the title of Young Clan Head will go to you for sure.

“What about Yi San?”

Zhan Tianlei’s eyes were red as he asked, “Are we supposed to just let this go?”

“He can’t run.”

Uncle Gui gave Zhan Tianlei a chilling smile. “We will use a teleportation formation to return immediately. Once you tell the Family Head everything, he will send more than half of our Demigods out to chase after him. The Blood Debt Seal will last for half a month. Anyone who kills people from our Zhan Clan will perish!”
