Chapter 127: Massacre

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji stood on the war chariot. Even though Jiang Yi looked extremely fragile and miserable as if he was going to crumble any moment, none of them dared to take any action hastily.

It was too terrifying when Jiang Yi leaped down from the air and released the Exploding Essence Palm just now. With statuses as pristine as Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji, it was natural for both of them to not take the risk personally after the intimidating scene. Jiang Yiliu waved the splendid-looking longsword in his hands and roared,” A million purple gold and elevation of two ranks for whoever who kills this person! A death sentence with no pardon for whoever who dares to back out!”

“Huh…”

Countless men from the Western Garrison Army, the Jiang Clan, and the Zhangsun Clan shuddered at the sight of Jiang Yi who was kneeling on the floor. His hair was messy, his body was covered with blood, and he looked just like a vicious ghost full of vengeance. How could they possibly kill the person who could appear out of nowhere and survive the fall from the mid-air leap? In addition, how could a mere human possibly release that vicious killer aura which they had seen earlier on?

There was something about Jiang Yi which was too bizarre and unexplainable, which caused people to be terrified and insecure—since the unknown often instilled fear into people.

But Jiang Yiliu was a royal highness: his words were equivalent to military orders. Jiang Bieli was the strictest when it came to disciplining the military troops so how could the Western Garrison Army defy the order?

“Kill!”

Very soon, four or five commanders gritted their teeth and charged towards Jiang Yi with swords in their hands. The people from the Jiang Clan and the Zhangsun Clan followed silently behind. Jiang Yi looked like he was severely injured; surely, he would be defeated since he was outnumbered, right?

“Kill him! Jiang Yi has a valuable treasure on him! The treasure will belong to whoever kills him!”

Gu Shanhe roared loudly as he waved the fiery red longsword. However, he remained stationary on the same spot. Commander Liu was urging his subordinates to take down Jiang Yi, but he also did not lead by example and remained stationary just like Gu Shanhe instead.

The two of them were fully aware that Jiang Yi could enter the Death Trap and could even strangely leap down from mid-air without dying. Something miraculous must have happened to him. There must be something strange about what was going on; if the two of them were to dash forward, they could end up dying without knowing the cause of it!

Their guesses were right!

When the rest of the people were a few feet away from Jiang Yi—who was kneeling on one knee with his head down, Jiang Yi lifted up his head slowly and scanned his surroundings with bloodshot eyes which caused everyone to shudder in fear.

An unstoppable killing aura poured out from his body and instantly engulfed the hundreds of people who were dashing towards him. His bloodshot eyes were locked on the four or five Purple Mansion Realm formidable martial artists who were standing at the very front. Then, he rocketed towards them!

“Pong-Pong!”

The terrifying killing aura caused the bodies of the weaker martial artists to go soft and collapsed to the floor instantly. Most of the martial artists had also stopped running and stood still on the ground in a daze. Only the four or five commanders from the Purple Mansion Realm and less than twenty team leaders were still running towards Jiang Yi, but their speed had obviously been reduced significantly.

Exploding Essence Palm!

The corners of Jiang Yi’s mouth lifted up to form a cruel sneer, and his palms gathered the black essence forces almost instantly. The Exploding Essence Palm that he was going to release would be different from the previous one where he only used ten wisps of black essence forces. Instead… all of it would be powered and released by using black essence forces.

“Ah? Retreat—!”

The expressions of the Purple Mansion Realm commanders changed immediately. Without hesitation, they turned around and intended to escape. The Exploding Essence Palm had yet to be released, but the terrifying oppression was suffocating them. The power of some martial artists was reduced by half due to the control of the Massacre Intent; hence, there was no way which they could have defended themselves against such a terrifying attack.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi’s speed increased even more since he was unaffected, whereas his opponent’s speed was being oppressed. Jiang Yi channeled dozens of wisps of black essence forces to the bottom of his feet, and it instantly increased his speed by leaps. He let out a sinister look and quickly moved himself to his opponents, thrusting out a palm strike!

“Boom!”

An exploding essence force whizzed forward and exploded instantly a few feet away, and the terrifying blast wave from the essence force engulfed the people standing at the front. The explosion wave caused the space to tremble and the air to distort while the dust and smoke shot up, forming a mushroom-shaped cloud of debris which couldn’t stop rolling in the air. Countless amputated limbs and torsos were blasted out from the epicenter of the explosion, creating a blood rain—all while the field was being blasted into a huge barren dent which was a few meters deep.

“Ss, ss…”

Countless people took in a cold, deep breath. How could someone other than the top martial experts from the Soul Travel Realm and Purple Mansion Realm, who used heaven-tier or saint-tier martial skills, manage to produce such a terrifying explosion? Looking at the Purple Mansion Realm martial artists who got blasted and whose fate were still unknown, the souls of many people trembled with fear.

How can the combat strength of this bastard be so terrifying and powerful? What treasure did he manage to obtain from the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch? Could it be a Sacred Artifact?

Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji’s expression darkened. Although both of them have guessed that the attack power of Jiang Yi would be savage, they did not expect it to be at this extent. How did he manage to kill so many people with one shot? Even though the four or five commanders survived the attack, they were severely injured!

“Jiang Yi, you did not disappoint me indeed…”

Su Ruoxue was still lying on the ground with no one bothering about her. Although her body could not move an inch, the twinkle from her pupils was alarmingly shiny and her long eyelashes fluttered. With the corners of her mouth lifted up slightly, her smile was intoxicatingly alluring.

“Swish!”

Jiang Yi was once again hit by an explosion force. However, as he was the one launching the main attack this time and with an empty wilderness in front of him, the aftermath rebound from the explosion was weak and did not injure him as much. He got up in no time, giving off a murderous aura, and darted towards the Western Garrison Army in front of him.

He was bleeding, and his energy was depleting fast. With so many martial artists around, he would only get weaker as the battle grew longer; hence, he must use the fastest method to take control of the whole situation and deter the rest of the martial artists from attacking!

“Clang-clang!”

Using one of his legs, he hooked and caught a sharp, bright sword from the ground with his hand. After infusing the sword with essence forces, the sword let out a clear and crisp ring. With that, Jiang Yi rocketed forward and rushed into the Western Garrison Army.

The massacre had begun!

Jiang Yi was never a kind and empathetic soul who would let people off easily. To him, as long as the opponent was an enemy, they deserved to die! With that in mind, he used the powerful killing aura and suppressed the clansmen from the Jiang Clan, the Zhangsun Clan, as well as the soldiers from the Western Garrison Army. He waved his long sword in the air and started the massacre unscrupulously.

The glow from the sword shone brightly while blood and severed arms flew across the air!

As lives were taken, the field once again became a purgatory!

“Ss, ss—”

For those who dared to enter the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch in search for treasure, they would have seen people getting slaughtered even if they themselves had not killed anyone. However, they wouldn’t expect to see anything as alarming as this!

On one hand lay a young man who was covered in blood, whose eyes glowed red, and who seemed to be only at the seventh stage of Cast Tripod Realm. On the other hand stood five or six hundred martial artists who were at least at the seventh or eighth stage of Cast Tripod Realm. Fear and despair were written on their faces, but none of them made any noise to protest as they watched the young man waved his sword and reaped their lives one by one.

Every single wave of his sword sawed open someone’s head, and yet the merciless young man showed no hint of emotion on his face—only his eyes glistened red as the devil’s. Swiftly and rapidly, he slaughtered the martial artists one at a time and took their lives as he pleased. Instead of a person, he seemed more like a bloodthirsty demon from the underworld.

The silence was so deadly that one could hear a needle drop. The teeth of the martial artists hiding among the surroundings started chattering as their bodies trembled. Everyone’s faces turned pale, and they looked perplexed. Only Su Ruoxue, who was still lying on the ground, had an intoxicating smile on her face; and she continued murmuring, “Good! Men should slay enemies, and when slaying enemies, he shouldn’t have any mercy. Only a true man can bring down troops of armies and wipe out millions of soldiers…”

Oh no! Everyone will probably be dead except for His Royal Highness and Young Master Zhangsun!

Gu Shanhe’s eyes were filled with fear. He wished to run away, but running away now without Jiang Yiliu’s permission would also mean death. However, if he continued to stay here, he would have no chance to escape later if he was surrounded by Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent.

He slowly backed away secretly; his eyes couldn’t stop flickering. At last, he noticed Su Ruoxue who was lying on the ground; and his eyes shone brightly. He darted towards her and pulled out the fiery red long sword in his hand. He held his sword against Su Ruoxue and threatened loudly, “Jiang Yi, stop whatever you are doing now; or I will kill your woman!”
