Ba Dao and the rest were still 15 kilometers away from Jiang Yi. If they began chasing him at their fastest speed, it was highly likely that they would catch Jiang Yi. However, there were too many Thunder Fires in the Thunder Ridges; what if there was a ball of Thunder Fire behind Jiang Yi?
Therefore, both Ba Dao and Chief Long stopped going forward. They looked at each other and found surprise in each other’s eyes. Did this bastard request to make a deal? They had become mortal enemies; what was left to negotiate? Did he want to go into the city? However, what leverage did he have?
Chief Long’s small eyes flashed with cold light. He suddenly sent a voice transmission that said: “Ba Dao, you go over first. Once you get near him, immediately release Mother Earth Roar. It doesn’t matter whether it will kill me; we just need to stall him.”
“Yea!”
Ba Dao’s muscles were trembling, he appeared exasperated. Once he released the Mother Earth Roar, the space around them would oscillate. Jiang Yi would never escape. Then, all these men would rush to him; would he survive that? As for what kind of deal Jiang Yi wanted to make, Ba Dao had to throw away that idea. What was more important than killing Jiang Yi?
Right away, he grinned and bellowed, “Kid, I can come over, but if you dare to play any tricks, I will tear you apart.”
His aura suddenly surged. He turned into a gale and flew forward. He wasn’t too slow or too fast with divine senses locked on Jiang Yi. People always said that those who were strong in the body were usually weak in the brain. Ba Dao gave the first impression of a fiery rash man. However… if he was indeed a brainless pig as he appeared, would he be able to live till now and become one of the ten chiefs in the city?
Fifteen kilometers, 10 kilometers… 5 kilometers!
Jiang Yi didn’t show any strange behaviors throughout. Even his glamorous red warrior armor didn’t appear. He didn’t release any aura as well. It looked like he sincerely wanted to make a deal.
“Ba Dao, go forward for another five kilometers. Tell Chief Long and the group that if they dare to show any abnormal behaviors, I will go back to the Thunder Ridges immediately.”
At this moment, Jiang Yi moved and flew towards the mountains. He was very slow and appeared quite genuine. Ba Dao’s eyes flickered; if he released Mother Earth Roar from this distance, the effect would be a bit weak. He might only alert Jiang Yi so he clenched his teeth and turned back, shouting, “We’ll go towards the Thunder Ridges for five more kilometers. You guys keep still.”
Chief Long squinted his small eyes which narrowed to a slit. Five kilometers was not far, but the place was mountainous. They couldn’t risk letting out their divine senses haphazardly, in fear of Thunder Fire that hid in the mountains.
He didn’t dare to act recklessly as the success was so close. He could only send a voice transmission to Ba Dao that said: “Only five kilometers, no farther. Attack him as soon as possible, and once you attack, we will come instantly.”
Ba Dao maintained his composure and slowly followed Jiang Yi to the Thunder Ridges. Jiang Yi stayed very close to the ground; they soon disappeared from the crowd’s view.
They traveled past the five-kilometer journey in a short while. Jiang Yi suddenly flew down and landed on a giant stone inside a canyon. He looked at the approaching Ba Dao silently.
Ba Dao didn’t show any expression on his face, but his heart was brimming with joy. He kept track of the distance, and when he was two kilometers away from Jiang Yi, he suddenly sped up, rushing towards Jiang Yi like a stream of light. The dull yellow essence force that he secretly congealed shone; he was about to release the Mother Earth Roar.
“Hur-Hur!”
Jiang Yi still didn’t move but let out a trace of ridicule from his lips. “Ba Dao, if you don’t want to have the Destitute Dragon Grass, then just attack me.”
Chi! Chi!
Ba Dao tried his best to take back the Dao pattern attack from his hand. His round eyes shrank, and he cried out, “What did you say? The Destitute Dragon Grass? You have that?”
The Destitute Dragon Grass was one of the most magical herbs in the world. It was a priceless treasure that was sought after by all the martial artists. The Destitute Dragon Grass helped one to enhance his physical body to the perfect condition which would be of immense help to his future cultivation. One could also sell it to a super clan even if he didn’t put it for his own use. Nonetheless, he would still get paid a bounty.
“Nonsense!”
Jiang Yi sneered and said, “I ask you to come and make a deal. If I don’t have any treasure, why do I ask to make a deal with you? I don’t have the Destitute Dragon Grass with me right now, but I can take you to find it. It is in the deepest part of the Thunder Ridges, but I can’t get it by myself. As long as you let me go into the city and make sure that I won’t be attacked by other chiefs, I will bring you to the Destitute Dragon Grass. How about it?”
“A deal? The deepest part of the Thunder Ridges? Going into the city?”
Ba Dao paused for a while and swiftly got excited. People didn’t normally go into the deepest part of the Thunder Ridges. Jiang Yi was chased after by the crowd; it was natural for him to go there and find the Destitute Dragon Grass. It was also logical that he wanted to make a deal as he wished to go into the city and keep himself alive. However, was the Destitute Dragon Grass really there?
His eyes turned cold, and he asked suspiciously, “Are you sure that’s the Destitute Dragon Grass? What does it look like?”
Except for the descendants of some prestigious clans, people were not eligible to access the information on the Destitute Dragon Grass. Though Jiang Yi had some treasures with him, how would he end up in the Sin Island if he was a Young Master of an esteemed clan? People that went to Sin Island were those who couldn’t stay on the East Imperial Continent. Thus, he concluded that Jiang Yi didn’t know the exact information on the Destitute Dragon Grass. However… Ba Dao once saw a torn manuscript with introductions to some treasures, including the Destitute Dragon Grass.
Jiang Yi curled his lips and said, “It’s definitely the Destitute Dragon Grass. It is completely white, shining with divine white light. It can also move like it is alive…”
Jiang Yi obviously saw the Destitute Dragon Grass before; he even refined one before. It was easy to describe it now. Before he finished his sentence, Ba Dao started to quiver with excitement as Jiang Yi’s description was exactly the same as what he saw in that incomplete manuscript.
Goddammit!
When Ba Dao was struggling to reach a decision, Jiang Yi suddenly burst out cursing and looked at the space behind him, shouting, “Ba Dao, you don’t keep your words and ask Chief Long to sneak in?! Humph… the deal is canceled. I will find Chief Li instead!”
Swish!
Jiang Yi looked indignant. He flew up to the sky. Ba Dao was stunned and immediately looked back furiously. He… thought that Chief Long followed him secretly.
Who knew—?
No one was behind him. Chief Long was not even here. His soul trembled, and he grew pale—before howling in rage, “Kid, you play with me!”
Buzz!
A figure congealed 300 meters from his left all of a sudden, balls of blue flames poured out at the same time. The atmosphere suddenly became appalling as well.
Ba Dao congealed the dull yellow essence force on his hand and was just about to attack. The moment he saw that fire, he was scared out of his wits and released the divine shield immediately. He flew away, frightened—as fast as he could.
“Ah! Ah!”
However… this was not any ordinary Thunder Fire—but the refined Thunder Fire. The temperature was increased by a few times; how could he handle such terrible heat?
Ba Dao’s divine shield cracked instantly; his body started burning at a speed visible to the naked eye. He turned into a man on fire—a flying man on fire.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes were as shiny as the stars. He was put in hell for two months and experienced all kinds of sufferings. The Thunder Fire that put him through so many ordeals indeed didn’t let him down. The temperature was so overbearing that even a mid-tier Heaven Monarch couldn’t stand it!
Of course, Jiang Yi’s good arrangement contributed partly to the success. Ba Dao was very close to him. If he was several kilometers away, Ba Dao would certainly be able to escape and might be burned at most.
“Ah, Ah—!”
A series of deafening painful shrieks sounded, which were full of regret and despair. His eyes still looked bewildered; he still couldn’t figure out why Jiang Yi was able to release the Thunder Fire and why the temperature of the Thunder Fire was so creepily high.
“Not good!”
On the other side of the Thunder Mountains, Chief Long and the rest trembled. The other four chiefs that just arrived felt an inexplicable chill on their backs and had an unknown ominous premonition.
“Let’s go!”
A cold light flickered across Chief Long’s eyes. He waved his big hands and led over a dozen Heaven Monarchs that worked for him, and a dozen Heaven Monarchs that worked for Ba Dao, rushing to the Thunder Ridges.
