Chapter 721: Fight the Battle Alone

Boom! Boom! Boom!
Countless streams of light descended as though it came from the galaxy. They crashed down like meteors at the bottom of the valley, especially at the section between Jiang Yi and the Black Wind Legion’s headquarters, which was completely covered by various attacks. It was inevitable that many attacks landed on the buildings, and some low-stage Vajra Realm experts were blasted into pieces, leaving behind nothing but chaos and disaster.
“Damn it!”
Jiang Yi cursed in his heart as the opposition wanted to kill him even at the expense of killing their own people. There was no longer any more meaning for him to rush over as he might die faster if he was going to forcefully rush through such concentrated number of attacks.
“Underground!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flickered as he had another idea. He needed to rush 3000 kilometers into the ground which would enable him to block the enemies’ attacks just with the surface of the ground, which would reduce a lot of pressure for him.
Chi! Chi!
As Jiang Yi spun his Fire Dragon Sword, he rapidly descended into the ground like a violent dragon. After he rushed underground, countless figures descended from the sky while Gui Ying led the charge and shouted, “Chase! If this kid could casually take out tens of millions of celestial stones, he must have even more celestial stones and treasures. Anyone that kills him shall be rewarded generously.”
The battle was already at this phase, and even if Gui Ying didn’t say it, the Heaven Monarchs would still do their best to eliminate Jiang Yi. After all, many of their men had perished, and many buildings in their headquarters were destroyed as well. If they didn’t kill Jiang Yi, it would be hard to vent off the hatred in their hearts.
Countless Heaven Monarchs had headed into the ground, using their weapons or sharp claws to turn the soil into dust while rushing towards Jiang Yi.
“Ah...”
There were a few Heaven Monarchs that had just entered the ground and suddenly hugged their heads and rolling around. Their bodies were trembling with extreme pain.
Gui Ying’s divine senses scanned over and shivered for a moment as he quickly reacted. He burst out with a yell, “Don’t use your divine senses to look for Lone Wolf. His body’s Thunder Fire has the thunderbolt which can exterminate divine senses!”
When Jiang Yi was in mid-air earlier, it might have been surrounded with white fog, but that white fog didn’t have any effects on the members of the Black Wind Legion. Thus, everyone was able to lock their attacks on Jiang Yi easily without using their divine senses.
It was different now. Jiang Yi was inside the ground, and everyone couldn’t see him. Some of them instinctively used their divine senses to scout and ended up with a tragedy.
Chi! Chi!
Fortunately, many of them were experts and didn’t have to use their divine senses to make their judgment. They simply had to detect the high temperature or feel the vibrations from the soil below to locate Jiang Yi’s position easily. Many of them rushed into the ground as sharp swords chased after Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi’s speed was too slow, and everyone just had to catch up to him before they could surround him again and constantly exhaust him with their attacks.
In just a few dozen breaths, many of them had caught up to Jiang Yi. Dozens of extremely dreadful attacks were shot at Jiang Yi in multiple directions, leaving behind giant tunnels of dust.
“They are here!”
The opposition didn’t dare to use the divine senses to scout, but Jiang Yi could release his divine senses without fear, allowing him to judge the direction of attacks easily. When underground, he experienced less pressure, but it was just temporary. The enemies were too fast, and the encirclement was going to be formed up again very quickly.
“Sigh... if this goes on, I will definitely die! I have no choice but to bring out Yang Dong and the others!”
After enduring a few more rounds of attack, Jiang Yi couldn’t find any better method; and if the encirclement was formed, he would still have to bring everyone out to fight.
If he was to perish, Yang Dong and the others would be stuck in the Thearch Palace. When the Thearch Palace got into the hands of Gui Ying and after he refined it, it would be no different for him to crush them from crushing ants.
His Fire Dragon Sword abruptly brandished countless swords along with the fusion martial skills, which caused the surrounding temperature to increase several folds, forcing the Heaven Monarchs to retreat. Jiang Yi then continued to rush down in a frenzy while the Thearch Palace appeared in his hand. Rays of white light radiated while all 105 Heaven Monarchs were released, but Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, and the others were still inside.
“Attack at all directions indifferently!”
Jiang Yi immediately burst out with a shout. Yang Dong and the others had been waiting for orders, and once they came out, they didn’t have any hesitations and immediately released their strongest attacks in all directions.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In this pitch-black darkness countless meters into the ground, innumerable attacks burst out and turned all the soil into dust, creating giant tunnels and causing the surrounding ground to constantly tremble. It was just like a gigantic earthquake. Just as the giant tunnels were formed, it caused a huge collapse. If the ones in battle weren’t Heaven Monarchs, many were probably going to be crushed to death.
Jiang Yi’s divine senses were very strong and could scout more than 80 miles away. He was also to see that the opposing Heaven Monarchs were at a complete loss from the sudden attacks as they burst in retreat to hide. There were several weaker Heaven Monarchs who were instantly killed by Yang Dong and the others’ attack.
“Break out to the east. Niu Wang, carry me and run!”
Stopping while they were ahead, Jiang Yi didn’t dare to stop here for long. After all, the opposition had a few dozen more people than them; and most importantly, they had five middle-stage Heaven Monarchs. They only had one, Yang Dong.
The encirclement at the east had already been formed. There were dozens of Heaven Monarchs and one middle-stage Heaven Monarch, but he wasn’t those three that were as powerful as Chief Leng. With the orders from Jiang Yi, the 105 individuals rushed to the east as they poured out 105 attacks in front of them.
“Retreat...”
When the middle-stage Heaven Monarch saw over 100 streams of light flying over, he shuddered due to fright. He yelled out sternly and had retreated immediately. It was a pity that, apart from him, the rest were low-stage Heaven Monarchs who reacted a little slower. There were two or three Heaven Monarchs who were struck by Yang Dong’s golden claw attack, which destroyed their divine shields. When the follow-up attacks came over, they were immediately turned into mince.
Chi! Chi!
While they were attacking this side, the Black Wind Legion weren’t fools either. The rest of the three sides launched their attacks. Jiang Yi’s group was all grouped together and had a ferocious attack power, but it meant that they were easy targets. The Black Wind Legion didn’t even have to intentionally take aim and would be able to hit their targets.
“Ah! Ah!”
Countless Heaven Monarchs at the back were struck by the attacks which ruptured their divine shields. In such a chaotic situation, once the divine shields were broken, only death was awaiting.
“Quick, quick, quick!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes were so wide that they were bursting out. They might have killed eleven or twelve of the enemy’s Heaven Monarchs, but there were also seven or eight casualties at their side. If they were to continue like this, they would only be able to escape a few dozen miles before they were completely wiped out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As they were fleeing, Jiang Yi and his group constantly counterattacked to prevent the opposition from pursuing. If there was an obstruction at the front, they would concentrate their attacks to rip the enemies into pieces.
After a few dozen rounds of attacks, they had killed over forty Heaven Monarchs on the Black Wind Legion side, but they had also lost over forty men. When two legions were in a chaotic battle, it was basically a battle of attrition. Low-stage Heaven Monarchs’ divine shield would be instantly shattered after enduring a few hits, and once their divine shields break, they would certainly perish.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, there was an echo of drums from the back. When everyone heard the sound of the drums—apart from Yang Dong and those powerful martial artists, the rest of the people stood still in place while grasping their heads in agony. At the same time, countless streams of light had already been shot over.
“God damn it, it’s Gui Ying’s soul spirit attack! All of you, don’t move. I am putting all of you into the Thearch Palace.”
Jiang Yi’s expression drastically changed as his Thearch Palace instantly absorbed everyone in. Ordinary Heaven Monarchs wouldn’t be able to withstand Gui Ying’s soul spirit attack. Once they got affected by it, they would be killed by the attacks from the other Heaven Monarchs.
The reinforcements were released but were forced to withdraw. Jiang Yi had no choice but to fight the battle alone once more!
