Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1404 - A Plot in the Making



Chapter 1404: A Plot in the Making

Out of the near three hundred god bandits this time, not one managed to escape. It was mainly because Jiang Yi’s set-up had been very well done. He had asked the little beast to control the yellow sand worms and hide in a five-hundred-kilometer radius, surrounding the bandits in all directions. This way, even if someone managed to escape the first wave, they would still ultimately be killed. By doing this, Jiang Yi could also have an early-warning system. It was a pity that the little beast’s area of control was only five hundred kilometers. If it was fifty thousand or a hundred thousand kilometers, that would be perfect.

Creak-creak!

The little beast suddenly yelled as it sent some information that Jiang Yi could not believe for a moment: “Big Ferocious, five people have fled to the east. They are the five that you were pursuing just now!”

“Eh?”

Jiang Yi was utterly bewildered. Based on their speed, the blue-haired young master and his companions should have been long on their way; why were they within the five-hundred-kilometer radius to the east?

Furthermore, there were so many god bandits just now; the five could not have possibly not encountered them. Furthermore, within a five-hundred-kilometer radius, those four Demon-Killing Battle Gods would definitely have detected the god bandits. Why had they not come to help? After all, Jiang Yi was wearing the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s battle armor; he was the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s Hunting Envoy nonetheless.

There is something wrong with the five of them!

A bad premonition rose inside Jiang Yi. However, at this moment, he did not have so much time to think. After all, the five had already left. Jiang Yi flew to the front as he collected all the spoils. The god bandits more or less had some belongings; if he accumulated all of them, they were worth quite a bit.

After all the spoils had been collected, Jiang Yi thought about it and did not dare to head towards the five men anymore. They had appeared in the vicinity just now; that had given Jiang Yi a feeling that there was a plot in the making somewhere. If he followed the five, he might actually get fooled or get into trouble.

Jiang Yi also did not know where to go. He chose a direction at random and rushed forward. After traveling for tens of thousands of kilometers, he hid himself underground as he refined some flames for the little beast to recover its strength. It had endured that spear shadow attack and had become feeble once again. However, after swallowing almost a hundred balls of flames, the little beast perked up once again.

This is a glutton!

Jiang Yi complained as he paused and started to think about what had happened. That fatal attack from the god bandit commander just now had soundly awakened him to his own inadequacies. Although he had the yellow sand worms now, he was not invincible. If two Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent formidable martial artists came at him and fought him to death, he would be in danger.

Should he continue to look for the Poison Spirit? So many people had not been able to find him; Jiang Yi did not think that he would be able to do so.

Jiang Yi stared blankly for a while and then decided to search for another three days. If he still could not find the god bandits that had escaped him earlier on and the Poison Spirit, he would retreat back to the Yellow Sand City. Zhang Mei and the others had died already; he could not continue this for long. He might as well think of ways to compensate their families.

After continuing on his way for two hours, Jiang Yi encountered a Demon-Killing Battle God. However, this person scanned Jiang Yi and ignored him utterly, making a detour around him. After almost a day, something that made Jiang Yi very suspicious happened. He had encountered yet another group of god bandits. Furthermore, this group of god bandits had two Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent formidable martial artists. The god bandits also numbered five hundred!

This is so strange… why are the god bandits targeting me?

Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with suspicion. However, his reaction was very fast. He immediately sent a message to Xiao Leng in the Chaos Essence Pearl: “Xiao Leng, be prepared to come out and battle at anytime. There is trouble.”

Xiao Leng and Zhang Hai were sitting cross-legged in Jiang Yi’s Chaos Essence Pearl. After so long, Xiao Leng’s injuries had—more or less—recovered, though he had not made a full recovery. Hearing Jiang Yi’s message, Xiao Leng’s eyes opened wide as he said, “Teleport me out immediately!”

Jiang Yi ignored him. Xiao Leng was a card up his sleeve; he should only be activated at a critical moment. Jiang Yi waited for those god bandits to come closer as he immediately shouted, “Little Ferocious, now!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The ground in front of Jiang Yi suddenly erupted with yellow sand worms as they filled the skies and shot forward with frightening speed. They surrounded the few hundred god bandits and started their massacre.

“Ah? Yellow sand worms?”

“Run—”

The low-grade god bandits were immediately thrown into disarray. However, the two god bandit commanders actually seem to know of Jiang Yi’s tactics and were not alarmed at all. Instead, they shot towards Jiang Yi like sharp swords as they were about to launch their attacks from afar.

“Ji-Ji~Ji!”

This time, Jiang Yi had long made arrangements as Little Ferocious cried out three times consecutively. The ground in front of the two god bandit commanders cracked as three worm walls shot upwards. The yellow sand worms were packed closely together as from afar they looked like three walls of sand that had risen from the ground. They were intersected between Jiang Yi and the god bandit commanders.

“Break!”

One of the god bandit commanders shouted as streaks of lightning appeared around him and formed a lightning bolt shield. The yellow sand worms that were within this shield were all immobilized by it. This commander easily pierced through the three walls of yellow sand worms and approached Jiang Yi at a frightening speed.

The other god bandit commander seemed to be slightly weaker and was trapped within one of the worm walls. With so many yellow sand worms around him, he would have long died if he did not have superior-grade divine artifact battle armor. However, even if he had—once he was trapped for more than thirty seconds, he would probably die as well.

Jiang Yi did not have the time to think about the trapped god bandit commander. He watched as a murderous god bandit commander approached him as something clicked in him. This time, it was definitely not a coincidence: someone was plotting to kill him. These two god bandit commanders had come for him.

Buzz!

The Chaos Essence Pearl in Jiang Yi’s hand lit up at once. If Xiao Leng still did not appear, Jiang Yi was finished. He did not dare to hide Xiao Leng anymore as his secret weapon. The enemy this time was too terrifying.

Swish! Swish!

At the same time, Jiang Yi also asked the little beast to control a huge amount of yellow sand worms to surround him like a hive. This way, even if someone wanted to fight him to the death, the yellow sand worms would be able to block some of the attack and weaken it first.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Leng was raring to go within the Chaos Essence Pearl. The moment he appeared, his divine senses had locked onto the god bandit commander rushing towards him. The long saber in his hand sliced through the sky as a white line appeared in the spatial zone. That white streak furiously struck towards the god bandit.

“Uh!”

The enemy had not expected that Jiang Yi had a Battle God-equivalent formidable martial artist with him. The commander’s body instinctively shook as the lightning bolts around him quickly formed into a white thunder shield in front of him. This managed to block Xiao Leng’s attack as, at the same time, this commander’s other hand smacked down onto the ground.

Tsk! Tsk!

A white light just like a white snake appeared from underground. Its speed was very fast and soon arrived beneath Jiang Yi. The white light easily pierced through the yellow sand worms and struck Jiang Yi.

“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

Jiang Yi’s entire body sizzled and black smoke appeared, just as if he had been struck by lightning. His body could not stop shaking as all the hairs on his head stood up straight. If it wasn’t for the yellow sand worms surrounding him that had weakened the lightning bolt, and he had used the Power of Heaven and Earth in time, he would probably have been burned to a crisp.

Creak-creak!

Seeing Jiang Yi being attacked had enraged the Heaven-Swallowing Beast. It kept on releasing its sharp cries as it controlled groups after groups of yellow sand worms to attack that god bandit commander. In its eyes, the yellow sand worms were the lowest life forms; and their deaths meant nothing to it.

“Die!”

The little beast’s controlling was quite adept; not one yellow sand worm attacked Xiao Leng. Xiao Leng continued to attack the god bandit commander and prevented him from getting close to Jiang Yi and from fleeing at the same time. The god bandit commander had to parry Xiao Leng’s attacks on one hand and also had to guard against the yellow sand worms that were flying towards him from all directions; he was in dire straits.

“Ah…”

After Xiao Leng attacked a couple of times, the god bandit commander finally could not resist anymore. A few holes had already appeared in the back of his battle armor, courtesy of the yellow sand worms. A few of them had entered his body and were starting to gnaw at his flesh. Xiao Leng’s murderous aura grew as he sensed that this god bandit commander was going to die here and now.

In the distance, the battle was almost over as well. Probably only a handful among the five hundred god bandits had escaped. The other god bandit commander was now covered by yellow sand worms and was rolling about on the ground, crying out nonstop. It was a matter of time before he died.

Creak-creak!

Jiang Yi had just breathed out a sigh of relief as the little beast’s eyes suddenly grew cold as it cried out non-stop. A voice transmission rang in Jiang Yi’s ears: “Big Ferocious, the five men have come once again. They are approaching quickly.”

“Old Xiao, end this quickly.”

Jiang Yi’s heart sank. There was indeed something wrong with these five men. He had a very bad premonition. These five men were probably after him. In fact… the groups of god bandits could actually be connected to the five as well!
