Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1512: One-Armed Swordsman

Poison Spirit had lured the Sword Emanations Race army over because he had no other choice.

Qi Qingchen had asked him to go and find You Tianni and company; he had indeed found them but instead was hunted by Yi Wu and a few others. He actually had a way to get rid of Yi Wu and the rest; if he used the Divine Spirit Thrust, they would definitely die. However, could he kill them?

He was a traitor of the Phantom Race; his greatest desire his entire life was to return to the Phantom Race and officially be reintegrated. He didn’t want to carry this ‘Poison Spirit’ name until he died, making his future descendants live in shame. If he killed any of the four pursuers, he would not be able to return to the Phantom Race in this life.

Hence, Poison Spirit could only flee. However, two men out of the four continued to chase him. Poison Spirit knew about You Tianni being here; Yi Wu was afraid that Poison Spirit would spoil You Tianni’s plan and expose them and had ordered for Poison Spirit to be killed. A traitor was nothing to Yi Wu.

After being pursued for several hours and finally evading the Phantom Race formidable martial artists, Poison Spirit immediately tried to find Jiang Yi and the others. However, when he found their tracks, he realized that You Tianni and his followers were laying in wait nearby as well.

Poison Spirit could sense that Qi Qingchen was almost on the verge of exhaustion; he also knew that he himself could not save Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen and could only think of another way to do so. Poison Spirit found a group of Sword Emanations Race beings nearby and, without hesitation, lured them over. He wanted to create chaos so that he could seize the opportunity to rescue the duo.

As for the Sword Emanations King’s appearance; Poison Spirit had not expected that.

He had encountered a horde of more than a million Sword Emanations Race beings; he was actually not aware that the Sword Emanations King was among them until he was almost pierced to death by it. Fortunately, after he released his Art of Concealment, his body did not emit any life signs or aura. As the Sword Emanations Race did not have soul spirits, they could not track him. Just like that, Poison Spirit managed to retreat to a safe distance, reappear, and immediately disappear once again. He lured the Sword Emanations Race army over like that.

The Sword Emanations King looked the same more or less as normal Sword Emanations Race beings; he wasn’t that special. The only difference was that the bone spur on its back was much redder. Hence, Poison Spirit had not noticed its presence at the start. Only when the Sword Emanations King started attacking did Poison Spirit know how dangerous it was. Not even considering being hit by one of the Sword Emanations King’s four limbs, even its ten bone spurs could easily kill a Titled Battle God. If one was not King-Ranked, he would definitely not be the Sword Emanations King’s match.

“Young Lord, you have to hold on!”

At this moment, Poison Spirit was slightly regretful. If he knew things would deteriorate to this stage, he would have forcibly brought Jiang Yi away and left Qi Qingchen behind. He had thought that Qi Qingchen was extremely powerful and Jiang Yi would be safer with her. However, he did not expect that things would become like this.

As he got closer to the river, he was just about to continue baiting the Sword Emanations Race when he discovered that many of them were accelerating and flying towards the river. The Sword Emanations King in front of them was moving the fastest; it transformed into a red beam of light and sped towards the river.

“Eh?”

Poison Spirit’s divine senses swept ahead; could it be You Tianni and company had not fled? He had definitely seen many of them retreating. As his divine senses searched again, Poison Spirit’s face changed drastically. He had discovered Jiang Yi, lying motionless near the river. The Sword Emanations King had accelerated because it had been locked onto Jiang Yi.

“Giving up a rook to save the king?”

Poison Spirit increased his speed, wanting to rescue Jiang Yi before the Sword Emanations King reached him. Poison Spirit was tens of thousands of feet ahead of the Sword Emanations King. Although the Sword Emanations King was very fast, Poison Spirit was much closer to Jiang Yi. Poison Spirit halted his concealment and increased his speed to the max, reaching near Jiang Yi a step faster than the Sword Emanations King.

Something isn’t right...

As he had been panicking, Poison Spirit had not scanned the surroundings in detail. As he was a few thousand feet from Jiang Yi, Poison Spirit had a premonition. His gaze looked to the left and found something fishy: faint restriction turbulence could be observed there. This type of turbulence was highly concealed. However, Poison Spirit was very familiar with it; it was the Deception Formation of the Phantom Race.

Swish!

More than twenty streaks of shooting stars shot forth from within the turbulence; these attacks were all launched by Titled Battle God-equivalent formidable martial artists and were extremely powerful and fast. Fortunately, Poison Spirit had discovered the Deception Formation a moment earlier. If not, if he had headed forward even a few more steps, he might not have had the time to react and would have been killed on the spot.

It was a matter of life and death as Poison Spirit’s battle experience was on full display. He did not run immediately but split his body into many clones to confuse his enemies. This way, he would not have to bear all the attacks coming his way.

At the same time, his real body twisted and turned in midair, evading many attacks. However, he was finally still hit. Although Poison Spirit was considerably powerful, his level of attainment was still not the strongest; he was not yet a Titled Battle God.

Bang!

Poison Spirit’s body was blasted as he was sent flying. As he did not wear any battle armor, half his body was blasted into pieces; one of his arms was severed as well as he became a one-armed swordsman. Having lived on the edge for many years, his sharp reaction speed had saved his life. If he had been a tad slower, it would have been his brain and not only his arm that was severed.

Bang!

His body crashed heavily into a small mountain as that mountain was also blasted. Rocks flew everywhere as a huge boulder rolled over Jiang Yi, crushing his body as it went.

Miraculously—after You Tianni and company attacked, they once again disappeared. As long as one did not move within the Deception Formation, he would be concealed by it. The Sword Emanations King was nearing; although Poison Spirit was still alive, no one dared to continue their attacks.

“Pfff!”

Poison Spirit crawled out strenuously from that small mountain as he looked at the incoming Sword Emanations King with utter despair. He was heavily wounded, and even if he concealed himself now, the Sword Emanations King could detect him. He was between Jiang Yi and the Sword Emanations King; the Sword Emanations King was nearing so rapidly that no one could save him.

Swish! Swish!

The Sword Emanations King’s speed was very fast; in the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Poison Spirit. A piercing, screeching sound rang out as the Sword Emanations King’s fierce killing aura swept forward, severely damaging Poison Spirit’s internal organs. Poison Spirit closed his eyes and waited for death to come.

“Eh?”

He felt a gush of wind blow past him; however, he did not feel any bodily pain as Poison Spirit hurriedly opened his eyes. He realized the Sword Emanations King was ignoring him and flying straight for Jiang Yi.

“What’s going on?”

Poison Spirit did not understand; the Sword Emanations Race did not have intellect at all. To them, all humans should be the same, right? Why didn’t the Sword Emanations King kill him but instead wanted to kill Jiang Yi? The Sword Emanations Race was not like wild beasts; Jiang Yi’s flesh couldn’t possibly be tastier than his, right?

“Uh—”

The next thing that happened utterly stunned Poison Spirit. Everyone within the Deception Formation was also shocked to the core as if having seen a ghost.

The Sword Emanations King surged forward as it flew to Jiang Yi’s side and didn’t attack him. In fact, its speed slowed as it flew to the ground and stood in front of Jiang Yi. A red glow emanated from its entire body as a pearl on Jiang Yi’s body also lit up and started to shake. The Sword Emanations King did not move anymore as it cried out as if very agitated.

“Sigh, that’s painful!”

Jiang Yi had just been crushed by the boulder and had probably been jolted awake by the pain. He murmured and complained to himself, trying to wiggle his limbs and crawl upright.

Plop!

The Sword Emanations King in front of him sensed that Jiang Yi was awakening as its sword-like legs suddenly bent, and it knelt heavily on the ground, its waist bending deeply. It was just like a servant greeting its master.

There was complete silence!
