Chapter 531: Kill You in One Poke
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Lion Chi Demon Thearch was indeed venting his anger on the Phoenix Cry Continent because of Jiang Yi!
His only son was killed. After chasing Jiang Yi for a long time, he was finally able to take vengeance in the Thunder Sea; but Jiang Yi disappeared in the end. The Lion Chi Demon Thearch blindly wandered on the sea for half a month; the rage and grievance inside him grew to the extreme.
He strolled around the west of the Phoenix Cry Continent, which was the territory of the Merman Race. Naturally, the members of the Merman Race were alerted, and they asked around. When they found out that the son of the Lion Chi Thearch was killed by Jiang Yi, the emperor of the Merman Race immediately devised a plan. He sent his men to tell the Lion Chi Thearch that they had seen Jiang Yi on the Phoenix Cry Continent.
Upon hearing the news, the Lion Chi Demon Thearch was enraged. It seemed like Jiang Yi was heading towards the Phoenix Cry Continent. Perhaps, he had some special skills and hid on the continent. The Lion Chi Demon Thearch was so eager to exact revenge for his son, that he rushed to the Phoenix Cry Continent on his own, without summoning his subordinates.
The things after that happened naturally. The Merman Race sent troops to follow the Lion Chi Demon Thearch, and they attacked the west coast of the Phoenix Cry Continent together. Within one day, 13 cities fell; and more than one million soldiers died.
Wars between the Merman Race and the Phoenix Cry Continent in the past always started with small-scale fights, and the martial experts from both sides wouldn’t join the fight easily. After all, both parties were well aware that neither of them could completely defeat the other. If they indulged in fighting, both sides would incur a tremendous loss. However, the wars that broke out once every one hundred years had deepened the rancor between the two… to a point that it could no longer be resolved. They had to wage wars against each other.
This time, the table turned completely because of the Lion Chi Demon Thearch. With him in the vanguard, who else could stop him? Even Princess Qing Yu would be instantly slaughtered—let alone the ordinary martial experts.
When the news was disseminated, the entire Phoenix Cry Continent fell into a tumult. The Thearch of the Phoenix Cry Continent left the palace in a hurry and immediately dispatched envoys to two nearby continents in the east to ask for help.
These two continents were much smaller than the Phoenix Cry Continent and had always been the vassal states of the Phoenix Cry Continent. Their rulers also understood that if the Phoenix Cry Continent was overthrown, the Merman Race—with their speed of procreation—would soon expand to the east. By then, it would be their turn to be demolished.
The soldiers of the continent kept on assembling towards the west. The remaining 14 Paragons also led the martial experts from their respective clans to fend off the sea demons on the west. In a short time, the west was also clouded by the flames of wars and billows of gunpowder smoke.
…
Princess Qing Yu left with the army to the front line, whereas Jiang Yi continued to be trapped in the prison.
Qing Yu left in a hurry and didn’t give any orders. The two guards that watched over Jiang Yi didn’t dare to slack about their work or abuse him. After all, they had seen how presumptuous Jiang Yi behaved on that night; but Princess Qing Yu put up with him over and over. They also didn’t know what Jiang Yi’s background was, which made Princess Qing Yu feared him as such.
However…
After watching over Jiang Yi for five days, the two guards were nearly pushed over the edge. If it was for the strict rules of the Qing Clan, they might already slash Jiang Yi to death!
“Hey, girls out there, go get a chamber pot. I want to pee!”
“Lift the chamber pot a bit—also, can’t you smile? How can I pee when I have to look at your miserable face? If I pee on your face, it won’t be a good thing for either of us.”
“I’m hungry. Ask the cooks to prepare food. Last time’s Brown Dragon Tongues is delicious; give me more of that. Yesterday’s wine is fine… bring up a few jars!”
“It’s quite boring to eat like this. Find some beauties to dance for me, and is there anyone that plays some instruments? Bring them here as well.”
“Go get some stoves. This room is a bit cold. Light some scented candles. The air in this room isn’t so great…”
“…”
During the five days—apart from the time that he slept, Jiang Yi gave more than 80 orders in total. Those two guards were ordered about by him like dogs, and they had to bear his complaints and insults.
A prisoner, though with an unusual status, was still a prisoner after all. Couldn’t he behave like one?
If one didn’t have any knowledge of his own status, normally, he wouldn’t end up well.
Bang!
After Jiang Yi proposed to let a female guard on duty wash his feet, the guard finally couldn’t suppress her anger. She gave Jiang Yi a murderous glare. Surrounded by essence force, she slammed the square table beside Jiang Yi with one hand. Instantly, the table fell apart into ashes!
Jiang Yi showed a sliver of mockery on his lips. He sneered and said, “Hey, are you angry now? I am so scared! How dare you to be so arrogant, first-stage Soul Travel Realm martial ‘waste’? If you are so capable, try to kill me.”
This female guard was called Qing Niao. She was only 18 or 19 and was fairly pretty. She was a collateral descendant of the Qing Clan. Though she might not be a big shot in the Qing Clan, she was still a member of the Qing Clan, which itself was a symbol of her social ranking.
Over these five days, dozens of fights broke out in the west. Though the Lion Chi Demon Thearch acted more meticulously and no longer fought personally as the Thearch was coming, the Merman Race seemed like they were willing to risk everything this time.
Over 50 cities in the Black Carp County were breached. Tens of thousands of civilians were dead or injured. The Qing Clan’s army and martial experts also suffered from traumatic loss.
News kept being sent back to the Black Carp City, causing great distress to the descendants of the Qing Clan. They felt both angry and uneasy; they were under a lot of pressure. Qing Niao and the other female guard were already in a bad mood these few days, and then they had to withstand the torment from Jiang Yi. It was a miracle that they had not lost their mind.
Qing Niao was so mad after hearing Jiang Yi’s teasing. She suddenly drew out the long sword and put it on Jiang Yi’s neck. Jiang Yi’s skin was cut by the sharp sword; blood was oozing out slowly. She stared at Jiang Yi coldly and said, “Don’t you really think I dare to kill you?”
Bah!
Jiang Yi wasn’t frightened. Instead, he spat on the ground and looked down on her in contempt, “Who are you? Only a first-stage Soul Travel Realm martial artist who dares to mess around? If I’m not tied up, I can kill you with one palm!”
“You?”
Qing Niao was so angry that she burst out laughing. She didn’t know Jiang Yi was powerful. Jiang Yi hid his aura before coming here. After that, he was bound by the Soul-Locking Chains and couldn’t use his essence force. To Qing Niao, Jiang Yi was at most a wastrel playboy with some background.
Jiang Yi was also enraged, “Damn it! How dare you to laugh at me and despise me! I want a duel with you! Do you believe that I can kill you in one poke?”
“Poke as you want!”
Qing Niao put away the long sword. Like an irritated puppy, she yelled at Jiang Yi, “You? With your pathetic little strength? Dream to kill me in one poke?”
“You stupid, ugly, old woman! How dare you to call me pathetic!”
Jiang Yi was also acting like a provoked duck and shouted in rage, “Untie me! If I can’t kill you in one poke, I will kneel and wash your feet!”
“If you can’t kill me in one poke, you will kneel and wash my feet? Good! Good! Good!”
Qing Niao was furious. Pointing at Jiang Yi, she couldn’t stop trembling; and her eyes had turned red. Suddenly, essence force flashed on her hand. She grasped at the Soul-Locking Chains. It seemed like she was going to unlock the Soul-Locking Chains and let Jiang Yi poke her. If she lived, he had to kneel and wash her feet.
“Done!”
Jiang Yi’s face was full of anger, but he was excited on the inside. His effort over the past five days was designed for this moment. If the Soul-Locking Chains were indeed unlocked, he would break from this place!
In the past five days, he tirelessly humiliated, provoked, and ordered about these two female guards—in order to infuriate them.
He had analyzed their personalities and found that Qing Niao was more naive—in other words, was more easily manipulated. Thus, he managed to let the other guard go out for errands before he could completely enrage Qing Niao. Now, it looked like the results were good.
