Buzz!
The protective layer around the Evil Thearch City opened up, and the Evil Thearch shouted, “All martial artists, old and young, listen up! Bring everybody you know out of the city. Disciples of the She Clan, activate the Evil Slaughtering Plan!”
The Evil Thearch’s orders were the highest kind. Everybody in the city held his words in high regard. Every martial artist thus brought one or two people with them and jumped over the city wall, running as far away from the city as they could. Of course, all of them were skilled. The least of them was at Vajra Realm or Soul Travel Realm. Thus, the moment the protective layer around the city opened up, it was easy for them to escape the city.
In just a couple of minutes, more than half the civilians had escaped from the city. The She Clan’s low-grade martial artists were activated as well. They brought the civilians out of the city. During this time, Jiang Yi had already begun killing as many people as he could. The Mystic Divine Palace turned into a blur of black light as it shot throughout the city, chasing the Demigods and army of the She Clan. In those few minutes, he killed about four to five thousand people.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three Demigods flew back from the impact of the Mystic Divine Palace. They activated their essence force, but Jiang Yi used his Mystic Divine Palace to crush them, easily crushing their flesh and bones. Many more buildings below the Mystic Divine Palace were flattened. The Evil Thearch Castle suffered huge damage. More than ten of its palaces had been destroyed.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Countless disciples of the She Clan shouted at the top of their lungs. Once most civilians had been sent out of the city, many of them took out a red elixir and swallowed it. Slowly, their power became stronger. After the Heaven Monarchs swallowed the elixir, their powers reached that of peak-stage Heaven Monarchs. The peak-stage Heaven Monarchs became like Demigods. Not only did their auras become stronger, but even the dao patterns they summoned with their essence force were as strong as Demigods’.
“Damn!”
Jiang Yi’s expression changed as he watched this scene from under the Mystic Thearch Pavilion. In just thirty seconds, more than three hundred martial artists had become six-star martial artists and above. What’s more, the number was only increasing. If all the peak-stage Heaven Monarchs of the She Clan became like Demigods, there would be a few thousand of them!
A few Demigods attacking the Mystic Divine Palace at once—one could only imagine how forceful that attack would be.
The Mystic Divine Palace moved fast, but this was a huge obstacle. At such a close distance, if these people tried to attack the Mystic Divine Palace with no regard for their lives, the Mystic Divine Palace would have to expend a lot of energy to fend itself against them. If they continued on like this for an extended time—before Jiang Yi can kill all of them, the restrictions around the Mystic Divine Palace would break apart.
“What’s going on?”
Yi Chan, Li Feiyu, and the others were transported back into the Mystic Thearch Pavilion at that moment. On seeing Jiang Yi’s expression, Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing asked worriedly.
Jiang Yi controlled the Mystic Divine Palace toward the castle with the most people in it. He wanted the She Clan to be cautious and act with wariness. As he did this, he explained to Yi Chan, “The She Clan has swallowed some sort of elixir. Now, a few hundred of them have the power of Demigods. What kind of elixir is that?”
“The Evil Slaughtering Elixir!”
Yi Chan and Yin Ruobing cried out at the same time. Yin Ruobing quickly said, “Jiang Yi, hurry, steer the Mystic Divine Palace away. The Evil Slaughtering Elixir will only last for a couple of minutes. The She Clan wants to use these few minutes to defeat you at all costs. They will not be able to fight for a month after the effects of the elixir wear off. Let’s avoid them for now.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi was no idiot as well. Since they could not find Zhan Yiming or Qian Gui, he would be stupid to take a beating for nothing. The Mystic Divine Palace swerved and headed straight for the gap in the sky. Jiang Yi used Heaven Evasion to disappear into thin air.
“Ah, ah! Jiang Yi, you despicable fellow! If you have the guts, don’t run away!”
The Evil Thearch cried out in anger. After the series of indiscriminate explosions, a lot of places in the Evil Thearch City had been flattened and reduced to dust. Some city walls were even broken. The entire city was in ruins. The once beautiful Evil Thearch City was now hideous. Many castle buildings within the Evil Thearch Castle had been destroyed as well. What was worst was that thousands of formidable martial artists of the She Clan had died. More than ten Demigods perished as well!
“All the people who swallowed the Evil Slaughtering Elixir, back off now! All the rest of you, remain!”
The Evil Thearch quickly gave orders once he regained his composure. The people gritted their teeth and refused to move out of the way. One of the elders shouted out, “Clan Head, it’s been seven hundred thousand years. The Evil Thearch City has been in the hands of the She Clan for that long. The people will live and die along with the city! We are willing to die for the Evil Thearch City. Please allow us to do so, Clan Head!”
“Please allow us to do so, Clan Head!”
The other people began to call out as well. What Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan did not know was that once one swallowed the Evil Slaughtering Elixir, they would never be able to improve again. They would remain at that skill level and power for the rest of their lives. To martial artists, this was fatal. That meant that they had no hope. This was why all of them were willing to die along with the city.
“Forget it, forget it!”
The Evil Thearch looked toward the group of elders from his clan and waved his hands in defeat. He heaved a long sigh and said, “If the She Clan should perish today, that is our fate. Don’t worry, everyone. I will seek repayment from Jiang Yi. All the friends and family members of Jiang Yi can expect to perish as well!”
...
Time passed extremely quickly. In a blink of an eye, a few minutes had passed.
Once the time was up, the people who had swallowed the Evil Slaughtering Elixir flew back down. They were fading in and out of consciousness, and their bodies were extremely weak. All they could do was sit down cross-legged at the city plaza. Even standing up was difficult for them.
Another few minutes passed. The air in the Evil Thearch City stirred. The Mystic Divine Palace shot out of a gap in the sky like an apparition. Jiang Yi’s cold voice echoed throughout the city, “Keep swallowing those Evil Slaughtering Elixirs. Let me see how many of those you have and how many people you can afford to lose. I can continue using Heaven Evasion a few more times. If I don’t destroy the Evil Thearch City and wipe out the entire She Clan today, I will not rest.”
“Ah! Ah!”
The Evil Thearch wanted to give orders for the rest of the disciples to swallow the Evil Slaughtering Elixir, but on hearing Jiang Yi’s words, he cried out in anger. He changed his mind and stopped everyone else from swallowing it.
Jiang Yi knew what elixir they were using, and he could use Heaven Evasion on the Mystic Divine Palace. He could even time his exit and return so perfectly. The Evil Thearch’s Evil Slaughtering Plan had completely lost its effect. There was no way they would be able to destroy the Mystic Divine Palace now. All they could do was wait for Jiang Yi to destroy them all.
“Jiang Yi, you devil. Even if we become ghosts, we will not let you off.”
“Jiang Yi, you are sick in the head. The Buddha Thearch must have been blind to protect you. Don’t worry, as long as one disciple of the She Clan lives on, you and anyone you love will be the target of our revenge.”
“That’s right. An eye for an eye—we will not rest until we die!”
Many elders of the She Clan kept shouting these angry words at Jiang Yi. They charged toward the Mystic Divine Palace crazily, attempting to attack it. Even though they knew that they would not be able to break into the Mystic Divine Palace, they continued to attack it with all their minds. This was how they wanted to spend their dying breaths.
Swish!
The Mystic Divine Palace shot through the She Clan’s army as quickly as a black arrow, ready to kill everyone in its way. Jiang Yi looked all around him mockingly. “I’m sick in the head? Bullsh*t! I wanted to set aside the feud between our two families. I was ready to give up seeking revenge against your She Clan. Yet, what did you do? You killed billions of innocent people on the Stellarsky Continent. What did those people ever do wrong? Are you even human? Since you’ve dealt so harshly with others, I will not hesitate to do the same to you. Today, everyone from the She Clan will perish!”
“Wait!”
The Evil Thearch’s eyes widened. He cried out, “Jiang Yi, what are you saying? What billions of people? When has my She Clan done such an evil deed?”
Jiang Yi treated the Evil Thearch’s words as nonsense. He continued to attack the people around him. In that short time, four more Demigods and at least two thousand more soldiers died at his hands. He paused midway through the massacre and laughed mirthlessly. “Evil Thearch, you call yourself a man, and yet you won’t admit what you’ve done? Didn’t you say you wanted to take revenge on me and kill the people you’ve kidnapped? If you kill one of them, I will kill 10,000 more of your people. If you kill two of them, I will kill your entire clan. I will not let anyone go.”
“This isn’t right. It isn’t right...”
The Evil Thearch called out in shock. “Jiang Yi, this must be a misunderstanding! I swear on my ancestors of the She Clan that I did not go and kill billions of people of the Stellarsky Continent; neither did I kidnap any of your people. I was just threatening you earlier. Jiang Yi, stop killing at once. If you go on, there will be none of us from the She Clan left. There must be some misunderstanding...”
“Misunderstanding?”
The Mystic Divine Palace stopped in mid-air. Jiang Yi’s red eyes now displayed a hint of shock. He and Li Feiyu both did not find Qian Gui and the others in the resident’s wing earlier. Could someone really be using him to kill off the She Clan?
