Chapter 1561: Killed Without Question!

Twenty days!
He was still alive after remaining in the Purgatory Mystic Realm for twenty days. This was impossible. However, reality was unfolding before everyone’s eyes. They all felt like they were watching a child torture a King-Ranked martial artist to death. That was how ridiculous this seemed to them. This was how surreal it was.
A whistling sound was heard. From afar, a figure approached them, with a killing intent that rushed to engulf them, making everyone present extra wary. Jiang Yi was indeed alive. At that moment, he was flying towards them. He was... also ready to kill!
If he was not ready to kill, why were his eyes red? Why was the killing intent emitting from his body so intense? Why were there Sword Emanations Race beings being produced constantly?
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
The Wintry Pearl in Jiang Yi’s hands kept flashing as Sword Emanations Race beings emerged from it one by one. There were not many Sword Emanations Race beings left in the Wintry Pearl: there were less than five hundred thousand of them left. However, this quantity was enough to scare the group. At the very least, even the God Kings began to tremble when they saw the Sword Emanations Race beings covering up the sky.
Five hundred thousand Sword Emanations Race beings flew towards the group, forming an overwhelming killing intent. Even the air around stopped circulating. If the Sword Emanations Race beings released the thorns on their backs, less than ten thousand of the two hundred thousand soldiers in the Heaven-Splitting Army would survive.
“How can he still be alive?”
Ren Tianfan, Qiu Ren, Bai Ditian, and the others all thought the same thing. The group recalled something else at the same time: were the hundred or so formidable martial artists from the various clans killed by Jiang Yi?
Swish, swish!
Since Jiang Yi was steering the Sword Emanations Race beings towards them, Bai Ditian and the others did not have time to consider the hundred or so formidable martial artists anymore. Instead, all of them flew up to the peak of the mountain. The Teleportation Formation had been destroyed, and Jiang Yi was overflowing with killing intent. If he decided to attack them, they would die for sure. They stood beside the guardian. Jiang Yi would not mess around in front of a King-Ranked martial artist, would he?
“This brat really has nine lives!”
For the first time, the Little Eagle King looked at Jiang Yi with respect. Before this, he despised Jiang Yi; but now, he was completely convinced of his power. Jiang Yi was really someone to behold. He could survive more than twenty days in the Purgatory Mystic Realm. This alone significantly increased the amount of respect the Little Eagle King had for Jiang Yi!
The Little Eagle King pondered for a moment and then sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Jiang Yi, your three women are with Ren Tianfan. Mo Huaisang and Di Ling’er are also in his spatial divine item. Do what you deem fit. I was almost killed because of your rotten problems. You have to treat me to a drink when we get back.”
“En?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes were already slightly red at first, but now, they were blood-shot. The killing intent flowed out from his body like a raging sea. Together with the killing intent that the Sword Emanations Race beings were emitting, the Heaven-Splitting Army was scared stiff. Jiang Yi scanned the various young masters and shouted, “Who is Ren Tianfan? Get out here!”
“Wow!”
Many people rolled their eyes as they burst into a flurry of discussion. Jiang Yi did not even know who Ren Tianfan was? How had he been living? Ren Tianfan was the most powerful person in the Demon-Buster Army, apart from the three supreme commanders.
“Truth be told: Young Lord is still alive! If you dare to mistreat and act against us, once my Young Lord returns, you should be very clear of the consequences! Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and the rest of you; listen up! You guys should know my Young Lord’s temper the best. Anyone who dares to harm the three madams will bear the consequences!”
Countless people recalled the words that the Poison Spirit spouted as he escaped. They also recalled the things that Jiang Yi became notorious for doing. It looked like something huge was indeed about to happen today. If they made one mistake, everybody would possibly be massacred by the madman, Jiang Yi.
Swish!
Ren Tianfan was a commander of the army. Naturally, he was not one to shy away from responsibility. Although Jiang Yi was infamous and although he had strangely survived twenty days in the Purgatory Mystic Realm, Ren Tianfan did not believe that Jiang Yi would be his match. At the very least, they would at least be tied. Could Jiang Yi be even stronger than the Little Eagle King? What’s more, wasn’t the King-Ranked martial artist around as well?
He flew up into midair but did not fly out of the protective layer of light around the mountain peak. His cool gaze fell on Jiang Yi as he shouted, “Jiang Yi, I am the General of the Heaven-Splitting Army, Ren Tianfan. Watch your actions and words. According to rank, I am your superior!”
Buzz!
A guqin appeared in Jiang Yi’s hands as his gaze locked in on Ren Tianfan. He said dangerously softly, “Let my three wives, Di Ling’er, and Mo Huaisang go; and I will leave your corpse whole. Otherwise, I will destroy your entire clan!”
Jiang Yi did not know what exactly had happened, but the Poison Spirit was hunted down. Moreover, Yi Chan, Di Ling’er, and the others had been captured. The people who were chasing the Poison Spirit earlier were all disciples of the You Clan, the Bai Clan, and the Chou Clan as well. He even knew a couple of martial artists among them. He did not need to think too much to know that this had something to do with Qiu Ren, Bai Ditian, You Tianni, and the others. The Heaven-Splitting Army’s General had even captured Yi Chan and the others. They must have been in cahoots.
Yi Chan and the others were Jiang Yi’s reverse scales. It was fine if they messed around with him, but if they dared to touch Yi Chan and the others, he would kill whoever was responsible without another word. After the Little Eagle King sent that voice transmission to him, Ren Tianfan was a dead man in Jiang Yi’s heart.
“Wow!”
Jiang Yi’s words caused a stir in the group. Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and the others were becoming more and more nervous. They subtly walked closer to the guardian.
Ren Tianfan, on the other hand, was getting angry. He paused for a moment and then said in a cool tone, “Jiang Yi, are you rebelling against your superior? Di Ling’er and the other three women snuck into the Heaven-Splitting Army and broke the Demon-Buster Army rules. I have the right to capture them. If you’re not happy, you can go to the three commanders and complain about me. You want me to let them go? In your dreams!
“Oh, right...”
Ren Tianfan recalled something else and added, “The Poison Spirit snuck in here as well, and tried to conduct an assassination. Yet, he resisted arrest. I’ve sent people after him already. Jiang Yi; did you see those hundred or so martial artists? Did you see the Poison Spirit?”
“Those people are dead. I killed them all and left none of them alive!”
Jiang Yi answered in an icy-cold voice. There was no hint of emotion in his voice, and he did not even try to hide his wrongdoings. His eyes glinted as his red hair continued to blow in the breeze. The black robe kept flowing in the wind, too. He shouted, “Ren Tianfan, I’m going to ask you one last time: are you going to let them go? If the Heaven-Splitting Army perishes because of your decision, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“How dare you!”
A long sword appeared in Ren Tianfan’s hand, glowing in the darkness. He scanned his surroundings and roared, “Everyone heard it. Jiang Yi killed a hundred or so junior commanders of the Heaven-Splitting Army. Now, he’s even threatening to destroy my entire army! A sadistic and crazy person like that must be under the control of the Netherworld Realm. He’s a lackey of the Netherworld Realm!
“Lord He, did you hear that? Please, help us suppress him. I will personally lead a team of people to take down this man!”
Ren Tianfan turned to face the King-Ranked martial artist and cupped his hands. Then, he shouted, “Everyone, move out! Take Jiang Yi down. If he dares to resist arrest, kill him without question!”
“Kill!”
Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and the others gritted their teeth and charged forward. Ren Tianfan had ordered for the entire army to be activated; there was no way they could sit back any longer. Apart from the Little Eagle King and the martial artists of the Ink Feather Race, all the martial artists rose up into the sky. Ordinary soldiers hesitated for a while before they followed the more advanced martial artists.
Bai Ditian and Qiu Ren knew full well that they would not be able to kill Jiang Yi on their own. Instead, they would very likely be destroyed by the Sword Emanations Race beings. The ordinary soldiers, in particular, were sure to perish first.
However, if they did not help out in the battle and if none of them perished, would the King-Ranked guardian step in? Ren Tianfan’s motive was clear: he wanted to force the guardian to help. Once he seriously injured Jiang Yi, they would be able to easily kill him.
“Everyone, listen up!”
Jiang Yi stood upright in the middle of the group of Sword Emanations Race beings as he faced the approaching army. His expression remained unchanging as he shouted in a cool tone, “This battle today should be between Ren Tianfan and me alone. If you don’t want to die, get out of the way. Those who refuse to back down in these ten seconds will be killed without question!”
