My Fury Will Burn The Heavens Chapter 238 - Fusing Martial Skills

Jiang Yi naturally didn't die and was living well, but he wasn't in such a good mood.

“Not here? Not here? It is not anywhere!”

Jiang Yi was now 30 kilometers underground at the northern side of Great Xia Kingdom. Big Huang had dug a very s.p.a.cious cave while Jiang Yi opened all the twenty boxes. As he tossed around the countless precious treasures, the glittering treasures illuminated the cave brightly. He had gone through all the boxes more than three or four times, but he still couldn't find the Soul-Subduing Herb!

During the interception at the Soul Break Valley, he had risked danger to his life; but it was fortunate that none of the fifth-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were involved. If Tais.h.i.+ Zhen and that old eunuch had interfered, Jiang Yi wouldn't have been able to escape.

After doing everything to plunder a pile of treasure and successfully escaping, it was needless to say how excited Jiang Yi was. Who knew that among all these treasure, the Soul-Subduing Herb was nowhere to be found?

There were plenty of artifacts in the treasure boxes. There were four heaven artifacts, antique paintings, pieces of jewelry, top-grade elixirs, spirit herbs… all kinds of treasures. Qian w.a.n.guan once showed Jiang Yi what a Soul-Subduing Herb looked like, which was very special; and Jiang Yi was certain that it wasn't among these treasures.

“Could it be that the Soul-Subduing Herb isn't listed in the betrothal gifts?”

Jiang Yi's eyes flickered as his face was filled with suspicion before he quickly denied this thought. Since Xia Wuhui asked for the Soul-Subduing Herb, it must be for the betrothal gifts; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to explain to Jiang Bieli.

“Xia Wuhui!”

Jiang Yi quickly understood it. As a Crown Prince, Xia Wuhui must surely have the ancient divine essence ring, and there might be many treasures in these boxes, but none of them were absolute treasures. For a Crown Prince to marry his bride—especially when this bride was a princess from another kingdom, he must have one or two items that were decent, right? The Soul-Subduing Herb and the other peak-grade treasures must all be on Xia Wuhui.

“What should I do now?”

Jiang Yi was in a difficult situation. When he was plundering these treasures, those experts beyond the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm must be afraid of Xia Wuhui's safety; hence, they didn't recklessly act. If Jiang Yi was to kill Xia Wuhui for the Soul-Subduing Herb, this group of people would surely put their lives on the line. Once they were going all-out—even if Jiang Yi was able to kill Xia Wuhui, he would certainly lose his life as well.

Furthermore, this incident must have made a commotion in the Divine Martial Kingdom. Xia Tingwei would send more experts to protect Xia Wuhui, making it even more difficult to get near him.

“Forget it. I will go get more Earth Fire and find an opportunity!”

Jiang Yi had already done the unspeakable, and since the matters were already at this juncture, it was impossible for him to give up mid-way. No matter how, no matter the price—he would not give up as long as he could obtain the Soul-Subduing Herb.

Jiang Yi picked up a heaven artifact long saber and looked at it closely. He then used the black essence force to cultivate it for an hour and noticed that it was impossible to refine it within a short period of time; hence, he didn't bother about it. He kept all the treasures into the boxes before keeping them into the Fire Spirit Pearl.

“Cultivate!”

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged to cultivate for four hours, replenis.h.i.+ng those used up essence force before he stood up and yelled, “Big Huang!”

“Moo-Moo!”

An enormous beast appeared in the tunnel, which Jiang Yi leaped onto; and he controlled Big Huang towards Mt. Fire Cloud. It has been a few days since his last visit to Mt. Fire Cloud; the scouts should have finished their investigation, right? Moreover, with such a huge commotion at the Soul Break Valley—even if there were scouts, they would have been attracted over there.

The battle at Soul Break Valley might only be for a short moment, but it had exhausted a third of his Earth Fire, as it wasn't just used for offensive purposes but also for defensive purposes. If he had an endless supply of Earth Fire, even peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts would find it difficult to kill him, right?

Of course, there might be an endless supply of Earth Fire from the source; but the s.p.a.ce within the Fire Spirit Pearl was limited. Even if Jiang Yi filled it all with Earth Fire, it wouldn't last long enough. If a few hundred Soul Travel Realm experts blasted at him constantly, it would take just several breaths before he was dead.

Jiang Yi controlled Big Huang to dig deeper by tens of kilometers into the ground. Even though he felt stuffy from this formless pressure, Jiang Yi had no choice but to be a little more cautious for safety.

He was currently at the south of the Soul Break Valley, forming a triangular position between the Soul Break Valley and Mt. Fire Cloud. So it wasn't a long distance from here to Mt. Fire Cloud, and with Big Huang's speed, he took just half a day to reach the nearby vicinity of Mt. Fire Cloud.

Jiang Yi didn't just recklessly surface. He controlled Big Huang to gradually ascend instead, sensing enemies along the way until he was just a few meters away from the surface. He channeled a wisp of the black essence force to enhance his hearing, placing his ears on the tunnel walls to listen carefully to the voices around.

With the enhancement from the black essence force, his hearing ability became insane as he could hear the wind blowing on the gra.s.s—even the sounds made by the crickets could be heard clearly.

After hearing for a moment—when Jiang Yi was certain that there was no one on the surface, he quickly took off the armor on his body and wore a stealthy night suit before bursting out of the surface.

The sky was very dusky now, but with the black essence force enhancement to the vision, Jiang Yi could see everything very clearly as he advanced towards Mt. Fire Cloud swiftly like a stealthy fox traversing in the wilderness.

“Someone is here!”

Jiang Yi's acute ears heard a slight voice coming from ahead, to which he responded by hiding into nearby underbrush immediately, staying motionless and withdrawing his presence.

“Shh-shh-shh!”

As expected, two individuals dressed in black rapidly approached in this direction. They moved deftly, and their form was lightning fast, meaning that they were definitely at the Purple Mansion Realm.

“En?”

Even though Jiang Yi was hidden in the underbrush, these scouts were certainly of top-cla.s.s as they still found Jiang Yi. Two of their speed suddenly increased as they flew towards Jiang Yi while making the ‘Gu-Gu' sound from time to time.

“What does it mean?”

Jiang Yi didn't know how were the scouts communicating using these secret signals, but he subconsciously responded, “Gu-Gu!”

“Kill!”

Who would have expected when Jiang Yi made the same sound, the two of them had this burst of killing aura? Jiang Yi's secret signal was wrong, and they were about to kill him.

“Kill in your dreams!”

Since the opposition made their move, Jiang Yi wasn't going to hold back either. He wielded the black longsword and emerged while he jumped into mid-air and suddenly cleaved at the two.

He didn't dare to use the Fire Dragon Sword and Earth Fire; it was too prominent. These might alert the others nearby and might also expose his ident.i.ty. The enemy was just two Purple Mansion Realm combatants; he just had to simply release the Wind Shadow Sword to kill the two of them with certainty.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

Once the Wind Shadow Sword was released, the wind in the surrounding immediately converged at the longsword, turning into formless wind dragons at the tip of the sword as they roared silently, restraining the two scouts.

“Ah—!”

The two scouts' expression instantly changed when they felt their bodies being restrained by the oncoming wind which immobilized their movements. They immediately screamed when they saw Jiang Yi's black longsword drawing across the air. However, their screams were abruptly silenced as the Black Scale Sword slid across their throats, killing two of them in a single blade.

“En, this Wind Shadow Sword's power is not bad at all. It should be a heaven-tier martial skill, right? Why is it recorded as an earth-tier superior-grade in the college? Is Zhuge Qingyun the one behind this?”

Jiang Yi stroked at the longsword with satisfaction and casually dug two pits to bury the bodies. He scouted the area and made sure no one was around before he continued towards Mt. Fire Cloud.

“There are more scouts over there!”

After making haste for several kilometers, he heard light footsteps ahead while Jiang Yi had this grave expression. With so many scouts around—if he was to ran straight towards the peak of Mt. Fire Cloud, he would definitely be noticed.

“Let me enter from underground!”

Jiang Yi looked around and decided to dig a tunnel. The Fire Dragon Sword could break through the walls of the volcano, allowing him access into the volcano through the underground method while others had to enter through the vent of the volcano.

“Fire Dragon Sword? Wind Shadow Sword martial skill?”

When Jiang Yi thought about the Fire Dragon Sword, he suddenly froze before he smacked his own head.

The Wind Shadow Sword had such power that could restrain the enemy. If it was executed with the Fire Dragon Sword, which had the two fire dragons—and then coupled with the Earth Fire, how much more powerful would it be?

When Jiang Yi imagined the scene when the Fire Dragon Sword cleaved down, two fire dragons would fly forward along with numerous wind dragons and the Earth Fire. Enemies would be immobilized by the wind dragons while they helplessly look on as the fire dragons and Earth Fire engulf them. This image caused Jiang Yi to shudder from excitement.
