Chapter 1712 - Good Intentions End Up in Tragedy

"Ren'er? Could that be Dao Ren?"

When he heard Dao Leng's words, Jiang Yi's heart jumped. If he were just an ordinary young master, why would Dao Leng care so much? However, on second thought, if two King-Ranked martial artists were a.s.signed to protect this young master; it was highly likely that he was a young master of direct lineage. This young master must have been Dao Ren.

"Alright!"

Once the mummy successfully made it past the two whirlpools, Jiang Yi jumped for joy internally. Although the mummy had been traveling at half of its original speed, at least they made it past safely. The fact that Dao Nù and Dao Leng did not attack him showed that the young master he had captured was indeed Dao Ren.

"Dao Ren is the first young master of the Dao Clan now. It is very likely that he is either Dao Nù or Dao Leng's son.

Jiang Yi became greatly relieved. With a hostage like that, his chances of survival were greatly improved. He activated his divine senses and swept his surroundings. Once he chose a path forward, he began sprinting once again.

Oh, right!

After sprinting for a while, a thought surfaced in his mind. The path that he had just taken was so dangerous. Since he was afraid that Dao Nù and Dao Leng would attack him as he pa.s.sed through the whirlpools, why couldn't he take the opportunity to attack them while they pa.s.sed through the same? If he could push both of them into the spatial whirlpools, he would be relieved of danger!

He turned around and swept his divine senses backward. Dao Nù and Dao Leng were hot on his heels and were about to pa.s.s through the narrow s.p.a.ce between two whirlpools.

Tsk! Tsk!

Four huge fire dragons were immediately summoned. They merged into one giant dragon in the air. Jiang Yi released his last ball of Merged Flames, which the fire dragon carried forward. At the same time, he used his other hand to play his zither. He was trying to see if his Divine Sound Heaven Skill to affect the two men.

"Hmph!"

Dao Nù, who had been flying at top speed, tutted. The Divine Sound Heaven Skill did not affect him in the least bit. He was at such a great distance from Jiang Yi. What's more, as a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artist, his soul spirit was extremely powerful. Although he was slightly affected, it was negligible.

He halted in midair, and his ring flashed as a huge, black-gold s.h.i.+eld appeared. The s.h.i.+eld did not expand. Instead, it flew forward and crashed into the fire dragon.

Bang!

There was a low sound, but the divine s.h.i.+eld remained intact. Dao Nù and Dao Leng did not even feel the terrifyingly high temperatures. The s.h.i.+eld had blocked half of the heat waves from the ball of Merged Flames.

"Primordial Spiritual Treasure?"

Jiang Yi jumped. He had once seen the Earth Emanations Sovereigns Primordial Spiritual Treasure and felt its aura. This black-gold s.h.i.+eld felt exactly the same. It was no wonder that his attack could not even cause the s.h.i.+eld to vibrate.

"Let's go!"

He did not want to remain there for a second more. Instead, he turned the mummy back around and sprinted forward. There were only several kilometers between them now. Dao Nù and Dao Leng could attack him at any moment. If their powerful mystical abilities could immobilize him, he would have no choice but to sit back and wait to be killed.

"No way!"

As he felt the two figures getting closer and closer to him, Jiang Yi's eyes lit up. He shouted, "Dao Nù, Dao Leng, stop chasing me! Otherwise, I will rip limb after limb from this young master's body and throw it backward for you to catch!"

Dao Leng's expression changed, but Dao Nù did not show any expression. Instead, he replied, "Jiang Yi, your grandfather, the Earth Emanations Sovereign, and the Wintry Sovereign are all in my hands. If you dare to touch a single hair on him, I will send a voice transmission to have all three of them killed at once. If you don't believe me, you can give it a shot."

"…"

Jiang Yi's lips curled up in a bitter smile. He had one trump card, but they had three. Dao Nù was one to keep his word. If Jiang Yi dared to hurt Dao Ren, Dao Nù would dare to kill the Phantom King, the Earth Emanations Sovereign, and the Wintry Sovereign.

Swis.h.!.+

He had no other choice. All he could do was steer his mummy forward and advance as quickly as he could. He had to wait for Heavenly King Wei and the others to arrive. The distance was closing up; there were only fifteen hundred meters between them now. At that moment, Dao Nù finally made his move.

He did not activate powerful mystical abilities. Instead, he tossed an ancient mirror over. The mirror flew extremely quickly towards the mummy's back. Just before it hit the mummy, it made one round and flew in front of Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi's divine senses had locked in on this mirror. He did not sense anything scary about it. There was no powerful aura as well. At that moment, however, since the mirror was in front of him; he did not dare to be too careless. He summoned a huge dragon from the Fire Dragon Sword, intending to break or deflect the mirror.

"Eh?"

Once he looked into the mirror, he realized that something was amiss. The light beam from the mirror caused everything around Jiang Yi to look different. The spatial whirlpools in front of him had disappeared. Everything around him looked dark. He lost his sense of direction; he had no idea where he was headed. Even Dao Nù and Dao Leng had disappeared behind him. No matter how hard he tried to search for them, he could not find them.

"An illusion zone!"

Jiang Yi's soul spirit stiffened. He was in big trouble now. His soul spirit had been brought into an illusion zone, and there was no way he could tell what was really happening around him. Even if Dao Nù and Dao Leng were standing beside him right now, he would not be able to tell. Both of them would easily be able to rescue Dao Ren and kill him!

"Union of Heaven and Man!"

In those two seconds—while he was on the line between life and death, Jiang Yi forced himself to calm down. He gritted his teeth and continued to steer his mummy forward in the direction he had been traveling. His soul spirit was in this illusion zone, but his physical body was still on the mummy… in their original position. He had already locked in on his direction earlier. As long as the mummy did not steer off-course, they would be alright.

While in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, his senses were especially s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e. If someone tried to kill him, he would realize.

As expected…!

He suddenly felt a subtle killing intent approaching him from the front. It was obvious that someone had dealt a fatal attack. What's more, this attack's aura was very familiar to him. It felt almost like the Merged Quintessence that Dao Leng had dealt him back at Ethereal Spirit Island.

"That's right!"

There was no one in front of him. This killing intent was coming from behind him. This must have been Dao Leng's killer move. There was no denying its purpose: they wanted him to turn around and run towards them. That would make it easier for both Dao Nù and Dao Leng to get closer to him and kill him.

"Hmph!"

Jiang Yi did not make the mummy turn around. Instead, they continued to advance forward. At the same time, he caused the mummy to twist one of its hands backward, so that Dao Ren became plastered on its back. If Dao Leng dared to deal any fatal blows, Dao Ren would be the first to perish.

"Uh?"

This killer move was indeed Dao Leng's. When Dao Leng saw Dao Nù throw this mirror out, he coordinated his attack perfectly. Their goal was to make Jiang Yi turn around and fly towards them. They did not expect that Jiang Yi would see through their tricks. He quickly steered the sword light towards the left, to avoid striking Dao Ren to death.

"This brat is still advancing forward?"

Dao Nù was extremely shocked. Jiang Yi had clearly fallen for his trick. Ordinary people would stop moving once their soul spirits got trapped in an illusion zone. With spatial whirlpools surrounding him and the Poison Devil Wasteland on his right, moving blindly would cause him to either be s.u.c.k.e.d into a spatial whirlpool or fly right into the Poison Devil Wasteland.

He hesitated, pondering about whether to break the illusion. One slip-up could cause Dao Ren to be dragged into a spatial whirlpool together with Jiang Yi.

As soon as they thought of it…!

Jiang Yi had intended to steer the mummy through the center of the two whirlpools, so that the gravitational pull of both whirlpools would balance each other out. However, one of the whirlpools had just been significantly weakened. The mummy began to gravitate towards the right. Since Jiang Yi was stuck in the illusion zone, he had no idea what was happening around him. He continued to steer the mummy forward at top speed.

"Oh, no!"

Dao Leng cursed under his breath as he watched Jiang Yi being affected by the gravitational pull of the whirlpool on his right. Jiang Yi was speeding up, and he was increasingly gravitating towards the right. He did not think that his good intentions would end up in tragedy. It would be fine if Jiang Yi was going to fall into the whirlpool on his own, but Dao Ren and the Fire Dragon Sword were both going to fall in with him!
