Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Ring, ring, ring, ring!

Ren Tianfan started to slash in all directions and managed to block many attacks and kill some Sword Emanations Race beings. However, as these Sword Emanations Race beings did not have soul spirits—regardless of whether Ren Tianfan attacked them or not, they still carried out Jiang Yi orders. Huge swords continued to hack at Ren Tianfan.

Ren Tianfan was very close to Jiang Yi; he was also most affected by the guqin playing.

Furthermore, Jiang Yi’s current playing was not a soft and gentle one; it was very crazy and furious, bringing with it terrifying baneful aura. They slammed towards Ren Tianfan like huge waves, making him feel as if he was a small boat in a raging sea as he couldn’t resist but could only allow the waves to carry him.

Ring, ring, ring, ring…!

In a mere few seconds, Ren Tianfan’s body was struck by thousands of swords. Ren Tianfan was wearing supreme-grade divine artifact battle armor; it was easy for him to get one as he was the Heaven-Splitting Army’s general. Although the Sword Emanations King had not rushed over yet, many of Ren Tianfan’s bones had been crushed while his internal organs were bleeding; his entire body was filled with pain and agony.

Swish!

The Sword Emanations King finally arrived. Before it came near, its cold and icy killing aura had already enveloped Ren Tianfan; Ren Tianfan woke up startled from his trance under the guqin’s playing.

“Run—”

Seeing the Sword Emanations King rushing towards him, its bloodshot eyes icy cold and terrifying to see; Ren Tianfan no longer hesitated anymore. He wasn’t Jiang Yi’s match, and he would definitely die if he dragged this out.

He understood a little of Jiang Yi’s character. A person that even dared to attack Heavenly King You and try to kill You Tianni; Jiang Yi was very cruel and brutal. Hence, if Ren Tianfan did not flee and save himself, Jiang Yi was definitely going to chop him up into pieces.

However… the Teleportation Formation had already been destroyed; where could he flee to?

In a split-second, Ren Tianfan’s brain worked furiously as he suddenly shouted, “Jiang Yi, stop; or else I will kill your three wives!”

Buzz!

A spatial divine item appeared in Ren Tianfan’s hand as he placed it in front of him. Ren Tianfan said coldly, “Go ahead and ask the Sword Emanations Race beings to continue their attacks! If this spatial divine item is destroyed, your three wives would also be sucked into the spatial zone and sliced into pieces!”

Clang!

A note rang out as the guqin playing suddenly stopped. All the Sword Emanations Race beings also didn’t move anymore. The Sword Emanations King who was only a few hundred feet from Ren Tianfan also stopped.

Jiang Yi’s bloodshot eyes grew less red as his gaze weaved through the hordes of Sword Emanations Race beings and fixed on that spatial divine item. Jiang Yi did not say anything as he watched silently as peace returned to the surroundings. The originally two hundred thousand people in midair had been reduced to less than nine thousand; the rest had fallen to the ground.

Although the guqin music had stopped, many lying on the ground had not regained consciousness yet; those that did also didn’t dare to move abruptly. They all looked at Jiang Yi, their eyes filled with fear and terror.

“This lad… is incredible!”

The Little Eagle King’s eyes regained clarity as he once again looked at Jiang Yi in a different light. He had been affected by the guqin music as well just now. Of course, it wasn’t to that extent that he wouldn’t know if someone killed him. However, to be able to affect the soul spirit of someone from the Ink Feather Race meant that Jiang Yi’s mystical ability had already become extremely powerful.

Most importantly, Jiang Yi was very young. He was only a little older than Jiang Xiaonu while Little Eagle King still regarded Jiang Xiaonu as a child. Little Eagle King had to admit that when he was Jiang Yi’s age, he was far weaker than Jiang Yi.

“Holding someone hostage? Ren Tianfan has stooped to such a level!”

The Little Eagle King gathered his thoughts as his divine senses focused on Ren Tianfan, trapped by the Sword Emanations Race beings and holding on to his spatial divine item, smirking slightly. The Little Eagle King was someone that believed that men should act properly and fight a glorious battle till death. Playing tricks like this would only result in mockery by everyone in the world.

“Jiang Yi, ask the Sword Emanations Race beings to retreat!”

Ren Tianfan saw that Jiang Yi had no intention of speaking as the former shouted after a while. Jiang Yi glanced at the Sword Emanations King as the Sword Emanations Race beings behind Ren Tianfan retreated and created a pathway. Ren Tianfan transformed into a beam of light and rushed out of the encirclement.

There was dead silence as everyone’s divine senses were all locked onto Ren Tianfan and Jiang Yi; everyone was very uneasy. Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and the other young masters were even more anxious. If even Ren Tianfan was no longer Jiang Yi’s match—unless the guardian helped them, who would suppress Jiang Yi? If things deteriorated, everyone was going to die here today.

“Lord He, this person is extremely sinister; I am not his match. Please lend a hand to suppress him!”

Ren Tianfan looked at the guardian of the mountain peak and sent a message, wanting to enlist the guardian’s help to kill Jiang Yi. However, the guardian did not reply at all as he closed his eyes; he obviously did not want to be involved in this matter.

“Jiang Yi!”

Ren Tianfan could only grit his teeth as his gaze turned towards Jiang Yi and said, “Let’s talk about this, shall we?”

“Let everyone go first; everything else can be discussed!”

Jiang Yi’s voice coldly emanated from among the Sword Emanations Race beings. “If you do not, the entire Heaven-Splitting Army would die! Ren Tianfan, you are the general of this army. If the entire army dies for you—if Bai Ditian, Qiu Ren, and company die because of you, think of the consequences yourself.”

Ss, ss…

Many people sucked in cold breaths, and this sound could be heard all about. Ren Tianfan’s heart also sank. Jiang Yi’s words were true. If the entire Heaven-Splitting Army was to perish here, he himself would definitely be held responsible and die as well. Furthermore, the Bai Clan and Qiu Clan would probably find trouble with his clan as well.

However, would he still be able to live if he let the hostages go?

Ren Tianfan was not an idiot; once he let the hostages go, while he wasn’t sure if the entire Heaven-Splitting Army would be annihilated, he knew that he would definitely die without question.

After thinking about this…!

Ren Tianfan finally thought of a half-baked solution. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, Jiang Yi. I will release them! However, hold me solely responsible for my actions; if you want to kill me, kill me and me alone. If you dare to touch anymore else, Heavenly King Wu would definitely not let you off so easily.”

Buzz!

The spatial divine item in Ren Tianfan’s hand lit up as a human figure congealed and appeared. It was Mo Huaisang! Ren Tianfan struck Mo Huaisang’s head as he woke her up. After that, he shouted at her, “Mo Huaisang, persuade Jiang Yi! Ask him not to kill us all!”

Mo Huaisang blinked her eyes groggily, in utter confusion. However, as Ren Tianfan’s words carried authority, Mo Huaisang instinctively flew towards Jiang Yi. Ren Tianfan’s spatial divine item flashed again. However, this time, no one was let out. Instead, a pair of white, ghostly gloves appeared!

“Huh… Spatial-Tearing Gloves?”

Little Eagle King was stunned as he immediately yelled, “Jiang Yi, hurry up and attack. Ren Tianfan is about to flee—”

Jiang Yi’s concentration had been on Mo Huaisang and then at Ren Tianfan’s spatial divine item, looking forward to the rest being released. After he finally managed to react, Ren Tianfan had already worn his white gloves as he furiously tore a hole in the sky.

Creak!

As if a cloth tearing, a hole appeared in the sky as a black, ghostly spatial zone was revealed. Ren Tianfan hurriedly rushed inside as his mocking laughter traveled from the hole, “Jiang Yi, if you dare to touch anyone from the Heaven-Splitting Army, your three wives would definitely die!”

Ren Tianfan’s idea was thought out due to desperation: he was planning on fleeing to the spatial zone and escape from the Purgatory Mystic Realm. He had hostages on his hand while there was a King-Ranked martial artist here. Ren Tianfan thought about it and figured that Jiang Yi couldn’t possibly have the balls to annihilate the Heaven-Splitting Army, right?

As long as the Heaven-Splitting Army was alright—once Heavenly King Wu and the others received the news and rushed here, nothing else would matter. At most, Jiang Yi would be sent to the Military Law Hall for a public hearing to see who was guilty. Jiang Yi had already killed more than a hundred formidable martial artists; this was a fact that couldn’t be washed away. Hence, Ren Tianfan would win in the end as well.

Ren Tianfan’s deduction had been rather accurate. However, he mistook Jiang Yi’s character!

Seeing Ren Tianfan disappear in the spatial zone and the crack there healing quickly, Jiang Yi’s eyes grew bloodshot once again as he flew over, kept Mo Huaisang in his Chaos Essence Pearl, and played furiously on his guqin. At the same time, he roared at the Sword Emanations Race beings, “Sword Emanations King, attack! Annihilate the entire Heaven-Splitting Army!”
