My Fury Will Burn The Heavens Chapter 241 - Intercepting Again

“Pong, Pong, Pong!”

At the front of the army, there was this uniform galloping sound of the warhorses, accompanied by the compact and orderly marching of the main portion of the army at the back. The marching and galloping sounds echoed between the two mountain peaks, causing a rumbling sound that pounded at Jiang Yi's ear membrane. It made him hesitate even more.

Kill. It was definitely going to be difficult to kill Xia Wuhui!

If he didn't kill him, was he going to helplessly look on as they marched into Summer Rain City? Wouldn't that waste all his efforts?

“Do it!”

As the army got closer, Jiang Yi ultimately gritted his teeth and set his determination. He'd do whatever he had to try, and if he really couldn't do it, he would just retreat.

“Time to go!”

Jiang Yi swiftly backtracked into the tunnel and summoned Big Huang in the already dug-out path. They continued to dig downwards to maintain a gap of 30 kilometers before they quietly advanced towards the main road.

When they were below the main road, Jiang Yi didn't hastily ascend but controlled Big Huang to run around randomly instead, creating a tunnel maze below. With so many experts on the surface, Jiang Yi had to prepare an escape route; otherwise, he would never be able to escape.

After digging dozens of tunnels later, Jiang Yi estimated that half the army had gone by and half the carriage should have also gone by, right?

He didn't know which carriage Xia Wuhui was in and could only rely on his luck. Logically, Xia Wuhui should be seated in the carriage at the center because it was the safest place.

“Time to go!”

Jiang Yi controlled Big Huang to rush towards the surface at the fastest possible speed. One of his hand held onto the spirit beast talisman while the other hand held onto the Fire Dragon Sword, getting ready to withdraw Big Huang and release the Earth Fire at any moment.

“En?”

Before Jiang Yi even broke out to the surface—at around 60 meters away from the surface, Jiang Yi suddenly noticed there was a giant tunnel ahead; and it was packed densely with soldiers!

“Setting up a human wall underground? Xia Wuhui, are you so afraid of death?”

Jiang Yi secretly grumbled as he and Big Huang shot out from underneath, frightening the Divine Martial Kingdom army which was traversing through the tunnel. When Jiang Yi rushed up, over ten soldiers were knocked away by Big Huang's horn. These soldiers which made contact with the yellow light on Big Huang's horn had their clothing and armor shredded at a visible speed while their bodies were turned into b.l.o.o.d.y messes. In just an instant, over a dozen soldiers had been killed by Big Huang's yellow light.

“It's Jiang Yi! Kill!”

The army was stunned for a moment. Once they noticed that the enemy who was wearing a stealth suit was actually Jiang Yi riding on Big Huang, their eyes immediately flashed with killing intent, rus.h.i.+ng towards Jiang Yi without fear.

“Big Huang, return!”

Jiang Yi immediately withdrew Big Huang because the Soul Travel Realm experts from both sides shot out their essence force attacks. He didn't know whether Big Huang's defense was strong enough to resist against these essence force attacks. Big Huang was his tool for escape, and he naturally didn't want it to suffer any injuries.

“Earth Fire!”

Once Big Huang entered the spirit beast talisman, Jiang Yi roared as Earth Fire poured out, forming a huge flame s.h.i.+eld around his body. The blazing aura quickly spread throughout the giant tunnel while many of the soldiers that came rus.h.i.+ng from the front and back were immediately incinerated.

“Xia Wuhui, let's see your luck!”

Jiang Yi ignored the martial artists that were on the front and back as he looked at the mud wall above his head. The Fire Dragon Sword glowed with blinding red light as two fire dragons quickly converged and propelled a lump of Earth Fire as it flew upwards.

“Boom!”

At this moment, the surface of the ground under the center of the army that was marching on the main road suddenly burst open, causing mud and rock shards to fly out. A carriage and hundreds of soldiers were blasted away by the two fire dragons which had the aura that could destroy heaven and earth, accompanied by Earth Fire which howled silently and covered the sky.

“Ah—!”

Majority of the soldiers were blasted up in the mid-air by the explosive heat wave and were already severely injured. When the fire dragons caught up from below, their bodies were blasted into pieces in an instant. Many of them had huge holes opened up in their bodies when the Earth Fire flew out from below, causing them to let out miserable screams.

“Wow!”

There was an uproar in this army which had tens of thousands of soldiers. Those soldiers there were nearby the explosion in the center tried to retreat to the outside while the soldiers on the outside tried to rush into the center. Many Soul Travel Realm experts rushed towards the important people while some rushed out from the explosion site, causing chaos.

Of course, the entire place was in chaos was mainly because there were two armies. While the soldiers from the Divine Martial Kingdom were instinctively fearful of Jiang Yi, the Great Xia Kingdom's soldiers didn't have any encounter with Jiang Yi yet. When they saw an a.s.sault, they immediately prepared for battle.

“Jiang Yi! All of you are good-for-nothings! Useless!”

Seating in the carriage behind the one that flew away, Xia Wuhui turned pale. Fortunately, he didn't ride in that carriage earlier; otherwise, he would have turned into a corpse along with the carriage that got blasted into smithereens.

Under the protection of the old Eunuch Wei, Xia Wuhui emerged from the carriage and looked at a few dozen Soul Travel Realm experts and roared, “All of you, go underground immediately. Kill Jiang Yi at all costs!”

“Understood!”

These people around him were all experts that were at least at the fifth stage of Soul Travel realm, and they were reinforcement transferred over by the royal clan. He was waiting in Summer Wind City for these reinforcements. They especially took the teleportation array to reach the Summer Rain City before coming over to Summer Wind City. Tais.h.i.+ Zhen and his group of people were too unreliable while these royal clan members would naturally give all-out efforts.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

These people unsheathed their weapons which all had chilling brilliance and dreadful auras—they were all heaven artifacts. They quickly dug a tunnel and vanished in a matter of seconds, rus.h.i.+ng towards the underground tunnel.

“Jiang Yi?”

There was a black-armored general in front who was riding a tall and strange beast. He frowned as he waved the golden halberd in his hands and yelled out furiously, “Dark Shadow Guards, advance and do not let Jiang Yi go! How dare he kill our soldiers so unbridledly in the Great Xia Kingdom! Does he disregard our kingdom's citizens?”

“Tsk-Tsk!”

Numerous soldiers immediately dug into the ground, who were all obviously Soul Travel Realm experts. In just a blink of the eye, they vanished and dashed into the tunnel.

“G.o.ddammit!”

Using the black essence force to enhance his hearing—after Jiang Yi shot out the two fire dragons, he immediately listened to the voices on the surface. He didn't hear any gasps or exclaims of ‘Your Highness!' or anything like that. Xia Wuhui wasn't in that carriage, and it also meant that this operation was a failure.

Sensing the countless terrifying auras that were rus.h.i.+ng towards the tunnel, Jiang Yi let out a helpless sigh and slashed at the tunnel in front of him, killing the people in front with the fire dragons that were accompanied by Earth Fire, suppressing the Soul Travel Realm experts who came chasing. At the same time, he launched an Exploding Essence Palm towards his back, killing a group of people and suppressing another group of Soul Travel Realm experts.

“Time to go!”

When Jiang Yi made his decision, he didn't have any hesitation; as he decided to retreat, he did it without any pauses, too. His body flew down using the tunnel that Big Huang rushed up from before he even landed at the bottom, he constantly used the Exploding Essence Palm to blast at the mud walls, causing a tremor followed by countless rocks and mud falling and collapsing the tunnel.

“Big Huang!”

When he landed in the underground cave below, Jiang Yi summoned Big Huang and rushed into one of the tunnels. Big Huang's speed was very fast, and it took them just a split moment to vanish into one of the tunnels.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

There were innumerable Soul Travel Realm experts who were wielding spirit artifacts and heaven artifacts which they quickly used to dig downwards. Once they arrived at the tunnels that Jiang Yi entered, they were dumbstruck. The bottom area was filled with tunnels like an underground maze which extended in all directions, intersecting with each other. They didn't even know which tunnel to use.

“Split up and search!”

Xia Wuhui and Great Xia Kingdom's Great General Lord Su Diguo had given the death order; how could this group of people give up so easily? Hence, they split up into groups and began their full pursuit in the different tunnels.

Jiang Yi's Big Huang wasn't fast or slow, but it wasn't definitely inferior to those martial artists at the sixth and seventh stage of Soul Travel Realm. These tunnels that Jiang Yi dug had a great impact now; otherwise—with all these people pursuing in a frenzy, the results would be catastrophic.

There were four that came into the tunnel that Jiang Yi escaped with, and all four of them were experts above the fifth stage of Soul Travel Realm. As they were chasing at top-speed, they quickly closed up the gap and heard the heavy footsteps ahead.

“Jiang Yi is right ahead!”

Four of their eyes lit up, as they circulated their essence force and pursued like they were berserkers. Xia Wuhui had mentioned that anyone who killed Jiang Yi would be greatly rewarded.
