Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1586: Duel

Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom!

The seven formidable martial artists joined forces to attack the wasteland, causing a series of explosions to be heard. They echoed through hundreds of thousands of kilometers. Even the soldiers in the five hundred Chaos Divine Boats surrounding them from afar could hear the explosions loud and clear.

Everyone was on the edge of their seats. Many Titled Battle Gods flew out of their Divine Boats and flew five hundred kilometers closer to the wasteland, wanting to see things more clearly. The Earth Emanations Sovereign, Phantom King, Wintry Sovereign, and Qi Qingchen’s hearts sank to the bottom of their chests. From the looks of it, the cracks in the Lava Wasteland were already very deep. With each attack by the seven formidable martial artists, the cracks got deeper and wider. Soon, the Lava Wasteland would explode into thousands of pieces.

“Eh?”

At that moment, Heavenly King Wu suddenly realized something was wrong. The more they attacked, the lower the temperature around them got. Even the flames sticking out initially were gone.

“Our attacks are causing the entire Lava Wasteland to shake and fall apart. Are the Prairie Flames dissipating as well?”

Heavenly King Wu could not figure it out because there was lava in the deepest recesses of the Lava Wasteland. The entire group could not tell what was happening from afar either. Heavenly King Wu had no choice but to cast these doubts aside. When the others discovered this oddity, they could not figure out the reason either.

Slowly, the cracks got bigger and bigger. The temperature of the surroundings, however, got lower and lower. Five minutes later, the seven formidable martial artists’ eyes lit up!

Boom!

There was a huge explosive sound as the entire Lava Wasteland fell into pieces. There were more than ten pieces in total, and large rocks scattered throughout the void. They were covered in lava, and traveling outwards like the suspending Milky Way, heading straight towards the seven martial artists. The scene was extraordinary and frightening. Many people’s hearts were in their throats. Many martial artists who went closer to watch were scared stiff as well.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Heavenly King Wu and the others retreated at the same time, afraid that they would be injured by the flying, burning rocks. Each of them dealt their own attacks at the flying rocks, causing them to be reduced to dust. At the same time, their divine senses shot out towards the center of the Lava Wasteland.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen led tens of the Wintry Domain’s soldiers forward. All of them used their divine senses to scan the surroundings. The Earth Emanations Sovereign and Phantom King did the same. All of their divine senses were locked in on one figure standing in the middle of where the Lava Wasteland stood.

The man had a head of red hair, and he was donning black supreme-grade battle armor. In his hand, he held an impressive Fire Dragon Sword. Standing around him were tens of thousands of strange beasts, which looked to be on fire. His expression was calm as he floated in midair, molten lava still floating underneath his feet. He looked just as shocking as the scene that the group just witnessed. All of them felt innate fear upon seeing his posture.

“Jiang Yi!”

Qi Qingchen shouted. The Wintry Sovereign’s aura immediately surged, pressing Qi Qingchen down. When Jiang Yi heard her cry, he turned around. A hint of a smile appeared on his lips. Other than that, however, he said nothing.

“Where are the Prairie Flames?”

Heavenly King Wu and the others used their divine senses to scan the surroundings, but not one of them found the Prairie Flames. All of them were shocked. It looked like as the Lava Wasteland fell apart, the Prairie Flames disappeared as well. Everything was gone.

“Kill—”

The seven of them did not hesitate at all; instead, they charged right towards the center. Hunting down a mere Jiang Yi had caused all of them to waste so much time. So many accidents happened along the way, too. This time, they were not going to let anything go wrong. They were prepared to join forces to end Jiang Yi once and for all.

“Hahahaha!”

Suddenly, Jiang Yi burst into laughter. Using his Fire Dragon Sword, he pointed to the void and turned one round, looking at the seven formidable martial artists. “Seven King-Ranked martial artists? Are you not ashamed of yourselves? You’ve all been living for hundreds of years—some even more than a thousand, and yet you’re making a fool of yourselves. All seven of you are ganging up against a young man who only ascended less than a year ago? Do you dare to duel with me one-on-one? Any of you can come!”

Jiang Yi used his heavenly powers to amplify his voice, causing it to travel thousands of kilometers. Everyone heard his words. Everyone burst into discussion at once.

Heavenly King Wu and the others looked enraged for a moment, but they stopped their joint attack at once. Instead, they remained in midair. Heavenly King Wu shouted in a cold voice, “Jiang Yi, you had no regard for military rules and went around killing the innocent. You’re a sadistic madman. You’re on the brink of death, and you’re still trying to talk your way out of it?”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi smiled briefly and said, “Commander-in-Chief Wu, I admit to having no regard for military rules. But killing the innocent? Being a sadistic madman? Since when did I kill the innocent? Which one of those people I killed was innocent? If I really wanted to kill the innocent, would there be anyone left in the Divine Yang Race? If people don’t provoke me, I would leave them alone. If they do, I will make sure I take revenge!

“I won’t talk any more nonsense with you. Heavenly King You, do you dare to have a duel with me? If you’re afraid, you can ask others to go first. You can even take turns to fight me.”

Jiang Yi pointed his Fire Dragon Sword at Heavenly King You, his gaze challenging. His red hair continued to blow in the breeze. At that moment, his aura was no different from that of the Little Eagle King. Many people were secretly intimidated.

Heavenly King You’s burnt face twisted. Jiang Yi was pointing at him and requesting a duel. Could he reject this challenge in front of so many people?

Although Jiang Yi had many oddities about him and many uncertainties as well, a black, headless spear appeared in Heavenly King You’s hands. He roared in anger, “Die, little bastard!”

The Wintry Sovereign, the Earth Emanations Sovereign, the Wintry Sovereign, Qi Qingchen, and the others all held their breaths. However, none of them moved. On one hand, they could not move. On the other hand, Jiang Yi’s eyes looked confident and aggressive. It was almost as if he did possess the capabilities to kill Heavenly King You.

“How is this possible...?”

The four of them had the same thought, but it extinguished immediately. Jiang Yi aside, the skill level between even Titled Battle Gods and Heavenly King You was as far as the distance between heaven and earth. There was no way Jiang Yi could possibly be Heavenly King You’s match, much less would he be able to kill him.

Swish!

Heavenly King You charged at Jiang Yi like a scaled dragon. However, he remained cautious, not daring to get close to Jiang Yi. From afar, he summoned a fire dragon, which flew towards Jiang Yi at terrifying speed.

“Just nice.”

Jiang Yi activated the Power of Heaven and Earth within, causing his body strength to increase a hundred times. Then, he moved aside quickly. His Fire Dragon Sword struck the huge rock beside him harshly, pushing it outwards towards the fire dragon.

Boom!

The huge rock was reduced to dust. Jiang Yi’s speed had reached its limit, and he easily dodged the black dragon. However, a huge number of Heaven Flame Beasts perished. The Heaven-Swallowing Beast on Jiang Yi’s shoulder cried out twice, causing all the Heaven Flame Beasts in the sky to charge at Heavenly King You. At that moment, Jiang Yi disappeared. He activated his Art of Concealment and snuck towards Heavenly King You.

“Fool!”

The Phantom King cursed under his breath but dared not send a voice transmission to Jiang Yi. After all, Heavenly King Wu and the others had their divine senses locked in on Jiang Yi. If he sent a voice transmission now, they would be alerted for sure.

The Phantom Race’s Art of Concealment was indeed formidable, but what cultivation level was Jiang Yi? Did he really think that Heavenly King You would not be able to detect him? Was he actually trying to assassinate him? Was he a stupid fool or what?

The White River King, Heaven Desert King, and the others celebrated in their hearts. The corners of Heavenly King Wu’s lips twisted, but he could not bear to look away. Heavenly King You acted like he could not sense where Jiang Yi was; as he kept fighting the nearby Heaven Flame Beasts, he looked around as if looking for Jiang Yi.

It was obvious that he was waiting for Jiang Yi to get near him before he stabbed him with his spear!

The Wintry Sovereign shook his head and sighed softly. Slightly worried, he turned to look at Qi Qingchen. To his shock, he saw that her eyes were frighteningly bright; and the corners of her lips were twisted up in a beautiful smile.

Qi Qingchen knew Jiang Yi very well. He was no stupid fool. He must have been doing this for a reason.

She believed that Heavenly King You would either die or be severely injured this time!
