Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 812 Brothers

Pseudo-divine artifacts were first-rate treasures of the Stellarsky Domain, and they were extremely hard to produce. Apart from grandmaster-class Tool Refinement Masters, there was no way to produce them. Furthermore, every single pseudo-divine artifact required plenty of precious materials and required the capture of a powerful demonic beast or demon spirit. They would have to seal their divine soul into the artifact and engrave a powerful array restriction in the artifact.

In the entire Stellarsky Domain, there were less than ten grandmaster-class Tool Refinement Masters that were still alive. Sin Island only had one and had been recruited by the Huangfu Clan, but he didn’t produce many artifacts during the recent years.

Demonic beasts have unique demonic arts while demon spirits have spirit arts. Their divine soul might have been sealed into artifact spirits, causing it to lose the main consciousness, but the divine soul still had some memories like the demonic art and spirit art!

Pseudo-divine artifacts were generally very hard to destroy, and many artifact spirits had been inside the artifacts for ten thousand years, tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Artifact spirits were one with the pseudo-divine artifacts, and if someone was able to make a spiritual connection with the artifact spirit, then they would be able to completely refine the pseudo-divine artifact and released extreme power.

Achieving spiritual connection with pseudo-divine artifacts was a limit that an ordinary person could achieve. In history, some heaven-defying people were able to harmonize with the artifact spirits and with the pseudo-divine artifacts, achieving Union of Man and Saber, Union of Man and Sword, and similar states.

Once someone achieved union with the pseudo-divine artifact, the artifact would become a part of one’s body, and the power would increase again. At the same time, the user would be able to utilize the hidden ability of the artifact spirit. In other words... a human could release the demonic arts of the demonic beasts or the spirit arts of the demon spirits.

Everyone knew that it was very hard to achieve a spiritual connection with pseudo-divine artifacts. Jiang Yi had tried many methods, but he still wasn’t above to connect spiritually with the Fire Cloud armor. Achieving perfect harmony with the pseudo-divine artifact would be even harder. At least, in the Gods Bestow Tribe, Huangfu Taotian was the first individual, and there were probably just a few individuals in the East Imperial Continent.

Hence, the reason why everyone was so stunned when Huangfu Taotian achieved the Union of Man and Saber. Especially when he cleaved the second man of the Devil Legion to death in a single blade, causing even more astonishment to the bandits. The soldiers were the guts of a general, and the general was the soul of the soldiers. When the commander died, many soldiers would naturally be trembling in fear.

Swish! Swish!

Most people present were startled while the members of the Waning Moon, Luminous Star, and Scorching Sun Legions didn’t pay too much attention as they were all soul slaves. The master had already given the order to attack the Devil Legion, and they didn’t dare to slack. Taking advantage of the fact that the bandits were in shock, the thousands of people launched a wave of attacks that killed more than 2000 enemies effortlessly.

“Kill!”

Situ Nu and his group had all rushed over, but due to the disorder in the battlefield, no one dared to attack other groups indistinctly. Everyone formed small groups and started to battle respectively. The Green Bird Merchant Association’s people had also rushed over, too. There were battles going on everywhere; there would be deaths happening every second.

Situ Yixiao, Qian Wanguan, Feng Buxi, and the others had all walked onto the deck of the Heaven Fate Ship to observe the battle. They had several times more combatants on their side, and the result of this battle had already been determined. They could be completely reassured and observe the battle.

Buzz!

Qian Wanguan’s token lit up. He took a glance and was delighted. “They are rescued; only a hundred hostages were killed. Big Brother Wushuang and Yun Fei are fine.”

“Huff...”

Situ Yixiao let out a light breath and took a few glances at the battlefield and stopped observing the battle. Rather, he returned into the cabin with Qian Wanguan and wanted to relay this good news to Jiang Yi immediately.

Who knew that Jiang Yi suddenly swayed and collapsed inside the cabin and was completely unconscious? He had already scouted the situation of Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei. After he made sure there were no longer any more reinforcements and that the Devil Legion was certainly going to be eradicated, he was no longer required.

“Boss!”

“Brother Jiang!”

Qian Wanguan and Situ Yixiao quickly helped Jiang Yi up while Qian Wanguan carried Jiang Yi to the bed. After scanning his body, they got relief when they confirmed that Jiang Yi merely fainted after he overstrained himself.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The unstoppable battle continued in full swing as there were casualties from both sides. The Devil Legion counterattacked even when facing imminent death and wanted to drag one person down with them even if they had to die, making them extremely vicious. However, no matter how aggressive they were, they weren’t a match for the opposition which had more than three times the number of Heaven Monarchs. In a situation where it was three against one and when the combat strength was almost even, the result of the battle was obvious.

There were constant sounds of explosions and echoes of miserable screams. The skies were recovering from the tears and getting torn again, thousand-layer waves were surging in the seawater... islands were destroyed. Many weaker martial artists of the Devil Legion were killed in groups, not even the wives and children were spared.

They might have better chances if they didn’t move or surrender, but as long as they dared to attack or flee, they would be slaughtered mercilessly.

There was no affection in battles. It was either one died or one’s enemy died. Sin Island was cruel to the extremity, and the people here were all cold-blooded towards battles. Once there was a battle, people would definitely die.

Pong, pong, pong!

The seawater below the Heaven Fate Ship burst out as groups of black-armored Heaven Monarchs flew up with thousands of people. When the thousands of people saw the Heaven Fate Ship, they were all in ecstasy. There was a couple among them who had eyes filled with hot tears when they saw Qian Wanguan standing at the bow of the ship.

“Big Brother Wushuang, Big Sister Yun Fei!”

Qian Wanguan’s fat body shivered as he waved his arms while emotionally moved. All his steady and general-like demeanor when arranging the battle with Situ Yixiao had gone missing. Before Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei flew up, the former exclaimed with delight, “Wanguan, why are you here?”

“Ke-Ke!”

Feng Buxi sighed while shaking his head, “Had it not been for Young Master Yixiao and Young Master Qian, how could you have escaped so easily? En... if Young Master Jiang wasn’t around, you might not have survived this disaster.”

“Young Master Jiang? Jiang Yi!”

Zhan Wushuang’s body shook while Yun Fei’s tears streamed down her face. The couple thought that they were dead for sure this time and didn’t expect anyone to actually rescue them? The moment they escaped, they saw Qian Wanguan—even Jiang Yi was around?

“Many thanks, Young Master Yixiao and Young Master Qian. Many thanks to all the Lords for saving our lives.”

Many hostages bowed with cupped fists while they would look over at the battlefield from time to time. It was a shocking sight to see that there were so many Heaven Monarch experts. Could they have come just to rescue them?

When Situ Yixiao saw that Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei were about to bow, he walked over cordially and grabbed onto Zhan Wushuang’s hand and said, “Brother Zhan, if you are Jiang Yi’s brother, then you are also Situ Yixiao’s brother. To be honest... this time, everything was just to rescue the two of you. If you want to thank someone, you can go thank Jiang Yi. If it isn’t for him, my father wouldn’t mobilize such a huge army.”

“Uh...”

Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei exchanged looks, and their faces were filled with shock. They might have heard some rumors about Jiang Yi flourishing in Gods Bestow City, but they didn’t expect him to be in such a good state? Just to rescue them, over 30,000 Heaven Monarchs were mobilized!

They weren’t just 30,000 ordinary martial artists, but Heaven Monarchs. Some were so powerful that it felt as though they were immortals. In just two years, Jiang Yi’s capability had grown so much?

Yun Fei looked around and didn’t notice Jiang Yi. Thus, she asked Qian Wanguan curiously, “Wanguan, where is the Marshal?”

“Sleeping.”

Qian Wanguan laughed bitterly and said, “For this battle, Boss constantly used the Divine Perception and had just lost consciousness. However, it isn’t a big problem, he will be better after a period of rest.”

“Uh...”

Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei were so touched that they were overwhelmed with emotions. What was known as brothers? Brothers weren’t people that one drank wine with or visited brothels together with while having arms around each other’s shoulders. When one was in trouble and when someone would think of all ways and risked their lives for that person... that was what it meant by being brothers.

Zhan Wushuang’s strength was extremely weak in comparison—Yun Fei was even weaker. The two of them had no value to Jiang Yi at all. This time, Jiang Yi requested for the Situ Clan to mobilize such a huge army and owed the Situ Clan a huge favor. He didn’t hesitate... because Zhan Wushuang was his brother, and Yun Fei was his sister-in-law.

It was simply this and nothing more.
