Chapter 190: Fight or Flee?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were about forty or fifty men ahead, and there were two Soul Travel Realm experts among them!
To flee or to fight?
Jiang Yi was at a loss. If he rode on the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf and ran at the first notice, he would probably escape easily. Then again, there were forty to fifty men; and that was over one hundred points—it would be a pity to just give it up.
Finally, Jiang Yi followed the tunnel and rushed back in, waiting to see the situation. If it was inevitable, he would jump down the ravine and escape. As he was rushing in a frenzy, he reloaded all the ten sets of God-Exterminating Crossbow. As he ran into the tunnel, he quickly retrieved all the medals, artifacts, and crossbow bolts which would be a pity to waste—as they were especially custom-made for the God-Exterminating Crossbow.
“Swish! Swish!”
The pursuers arrived soon, but they didn’t throng down with a few dozens of men and sent four of them instead. This time, Jiang Yi didn’t keep his medal in the Fire Spirit Pearl but used it to sense and detect the opposition’s whereabouts instead.
Hmph! Only sending four? Aren’t they belittling me? This is okay, too; I can kill them one by one.
Jiang Yi stood firm within the cave and waited for the enemies to rush in. He had two black crossbows hidden in his sleeve that was ready to fire at any moment.
“Swish!”
The four of them ran in quickly and was wearing white armors. It was unknown which kingdom they were from. When they saw Jiang Yi standing in the tunnel, they all got startled but soon burst towards Jiang Yi.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
Jiang Yi waited for their distance to be at thirty feet before firing the God-Exterminating Crossbow. After shooting them, he swiftly kept the crossbows and retrieved two more sets of God-Exterminating Crossbows to continue shooting.
Everything was as expected!
The tunnel was too narrow, and due to the fact that they were descending, they were too fast to even dodge. The four of them were instantly killed miserably by the God-Exterminating Crossbows.
This God-Exterminating Crossbow is too useful! If I knew it earlier, I would have asked Qian Wanguan to provide me a few hundred sets of it. I will just stand here and easily shoot as many people there are to death!
Jiang Yi was feeling extremely excited: he had this feeling that he could stop ten thousand men by himself.
He quickly leaped over and collected all their medals, weapons, and crossbow bolts without missing anything. This time, he didn’t immediately keep the four medals into the Fire Spirit Pearl but left them on the ground instead. He reloaded the God-Exterminating Crossbows and stood proudly at the tunnel while waiting for the enemies on the surface to come in and claim their deaths.
“En?”
When the people on the surface heard the miserable screams, all their expressions changed. A Soul Travel Realm expert had these gloomy eyes as he yelled, “Send another ten men. Be cautious!”
The ten individuals had this flash of terror in their eyes when the Soul Travel Realm expert looked at them. The previous four individuals went in and got instantly killed; wouldn’t the same thing happen to them if they rushed in like this?
The two Soul Travel Realm experts didn’t seem like they were going to change their minds. The ten of them pulled themselves together and rushed down the tunnel. They didn’t dare to be too fast. While they ran in, they used their weapons to widen the tunnel, allowing themselves a more convenient escape.
Soon enough, the ten of them were at the bottom. They tried using the dusky illumination to look ahead but couldn’t see anyone. They saw their four dead comrades and also a few other corpses, but they couldn’t see anybody alive.
“Eh?”
The ten of them quickly locked onto a ‘corpse’ because that corpse had a weak presence coming from it, but the entire body was covered in blood and was seemingly hurt?
The ten of them used their medals and was delighted when they were certain that the injured person was Jiang Yi. They didn’t recklessly rush over as they maintained their cautious mind and approached slowly.
Fifty feet, 40 feet… 30 feet!
Jiang Yi naturally wasn’t injured; it was clear that he was pretending. His presence becoming weaker was also a false display to trick this group of people into approaching him. When the ten enemies were just 30 feet away from him, he suddenly bounced up and released the two God-Exterminating Crossbows that he prepared beforehand.
“Ah!”
The massacre started once again. Due to the proximity, the ones on the front didn’t have any chance to dodge. After shooting the ten crossbow bolts, Jiang Yi rushed forward with his Black Scale Sword, attacking the ones that retreated due to fear.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
The sword light glittered. This Black Scale Sword was extremely sharp, which broke the weapons of two men who didn’t manage to escape in time… who were stabbed to death afterward. The first three, who turned to escape had sufficient speed to escape after Jiang Yi killed these two men, were already running frantically towards the surface.
“Tsk-Tsk!”
Jiang Yi’s longsword glittered and ended the lives of those people who were severely injured by the God-Exterminating Crossbows. Jiang Yi then quickly collected all the medals and crossbow bolts while reloading them at the same time. He took out a long rope from the Fire Spirit Pearl and threw it off the cliff, preparing to evacuate at any moment! He understood clearly that after killing eleven men, the Soul Travel Realm expert wouldn’t let this rest. The next wave of attack was going to be intense.
“Hmph!”
When the two Soul Travel Realm experts listened to the report made by the three escapees, one of them let out a snort, “God-Exterminating Crossbow? This person is certainly from one of the great clans of the Divine Martial Kingdom. Lao Er 1 , let’s coordinate and kill this person. We will then obtain those God-Exterminating Crossbows.”
The other Soul Travel Realm expert nodded and immediately ran towards the edge of the cliff. He gave a hand signal and suddenly leaped off while the other Soul Travel Realm expert rushed into the tunnel with lightning speed.
“A front-and-back-pincer attack?”
Using the medal, Jiang Yi detected the movements of these two Soul Travel Realm experts. He sensed that one of them was coming down from the cliffs. Jiang Yi wasn’t afraid at all; he grinned instead.
If the two of them came one after the other, he might have some worry. If they split up, it was the same as them coming to claim death!
“Swish!”
He ignored the Soul Travel Ream expert that came from the cave and rushed over to the other entrance of the cave. Before he even reached the edge of the cliff, a figure had come in from the outside as expected and was circulating his essence force in the hand, preparing to release the essence force to eliminate Jiang Yi!
“Earth Fire!”
Jiang Yi shouted out while the Earth Fire surged out endlessly from the Fire Spirit Pearl. With a single swift palm strike, the Earth Fire was whizzed over, engulfing the Soul Travel Realm expert!
“Ah!”
A miserable scream echoed. The dreadful temperature of the Earth Fire didn’t give the Soul Travel Realm an option to escape and instantly scorched him into ashes—even the weapon on his hand was melted into molten iron. A piece of black medal strangely fell from his body. It was unknown what kind of material was the medal made of, but it actually didn’t get incinerated?
“This…”
The other Soul Travel Realm expert rushed down, only to see that horrific scene. He was immediately frightened stiff as he turned to escape in the other direction.
“Swish!”
Jiang Yi used a single hand to grab the medal that was in mid-air as he burst towards the Earth Fire. With eyes cold like the ice mountain, he waited for the Earth Fire to be automatically absorbed by the Fire Spirit Pearl before he summoned the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf to give chase.
“Run quickly!”
As the Soul Travel Realm expert flew out, he immediately yelled out as he ran without any pausing.
“Swish!”
Jiang Yi’s body quickly emerged from the tunnel. When he was in mid-air, the spirit beast talisman flashed in his hands, which caused the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf to disappear. The dreadful flames came forth from his body, instantly engulfing the dozens of people in the vicinity.
“Ah…”
Apart from the one or two screams, the rest of the people didn’t even have the chance to scream before being incinerated into dust. Jiang Yi swiftly grabbed those medals that fell onto the ground, and when he finished collecting the medals, the Earth Fire vanished, too. He summoned the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf again to pursue after the Soul Travel Realm expert.
Since he began killing, Jiang Yi was naturally not going to stop there. If this Soul Travel Realm expert was to escape, he might expose Jiang Yi’s location. This Silver-Moon Demon Wolf was too prominent, and once this news got out, Shui Qianrou and the rest would immediately know that he was in the vicinity.
