Chapter 1041: Die, Qiu Shan!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

No matter how strong one was—as long as he was a person, he would have his own wants and desires. He would react like any other human would.

The Demigod’s reaction time was short, but he could still get shocked, panicked, or confused. He still needed time to think. Jiang Yi was betting on this reaction time. His devilish smile did not have a huge effect on Qiu Shan, but the words he spoke did. Jiang Yi’s name was well-known by Qiu Shan. The more important thing, though, was that the Heaven Hidden Sect’s Clan Head’s name was all the more powerful!

The moment Qiu Shan gave further thought to what Jiang Yi said, he felt fear, worry, and even a little bit out of his mind. A second’s hesitation in a battle between formidable martial artists could cost one his life. It was during this lag time that Jiang Yi’s Rainbow Soul Spear managed to enter Qiu Shan’s body without a sound, injuring his spiritual consciousness.

“Spiritual attack?”

In the beginning, Qiu Shan did not think much about what Jiang Yi just did. Spiritual attacks were not considered a big deal for Demigods. However, once the Rainbow Soul Spear entered his spiritual consciousness, his spirit experienced life-threatening danger. This caused Jiang Yi’s soul to almost fly out of his body. He quickly tried to control his soul that was dancing inside his consciousness, trying to avoid the attack of the Rainbow Soul Spear.

Tsk! Tsk!

The problem was that all his focus was now on trying to control his soul. He had no time to think about anything else, and he paid no attention to gathering his essence force to form a divine shield to protect his body. The ten Astral Wind Blades kept striking his divine shield, weakening it significantly. There were now four Astral Wind Blades left. If they continued to strike him, his divine shield was bound to break apart. His body would then be cut into pieces.

“Risk it!”

Qiu Shan gave everything he had at this moment between life and death. He was ready to forsake his soul. He had to depend on his god spirit to fend off any attack by the Rainbow Soul Spear. As long as he could fend off the attacks from the four astral winds, he would be able to destroy Jiang Yi.

“En?”

Jiang Yi’s divine senses locked in on Qiu Shan. He immediately deduced that Qiu Shan was trying to gather his essence force to stabilize his divine shield. Immediately, Jiang Yi sent a voice transmission. Qiu Shan heard a loud roar by his ear: “Qiu Shan... I forgot to tell you something. Qiu Ming’s kidnapping of the Saint Lady of the Heaven Hidden Sect has now been made known. The Heaven Hidden Sect was the one who gave orders for the four sects to come and attack you this time!”

Boom!

At the exact same time, Jiang Yi controlled the Rainbow Soul Spear so that it pierced right through Qiu Shan’s god spirit. Upon hearing what Jiang Yi had said, Qiu Shan felt his entire mind black. For a split-second, he did not even feel the intense pain of the Rainbow Soul Spear piercing through his god spirit.

Qiu Ming kidnapping the Saint Lady of the Heaven Hidden Sect was strictly confidential. Nobody in the world knew. How did Jiang Yi find out? This made Qiu Shan think about whether the four sects were really sent here by the Heaven Hidden Sect. If they were, Qiu Shan would die even if he did manage to escape. The Dwarf Race would then be completely wiped out.

Qiu Shan was once again distracted. This distraction was fatal. Jiang Yi’s Astral Wind Blades kept striking his divine shield, causing it to weaken even further.

In a blink of an eye, Qiu Shan regained consciousness. However... it was too late. His divine shield was now broken. He felt a gust of cold wind that made all the hairs on his body stand. He could not see that astral winds, but he could smell the stench of death.

“Sigh...”

He sighed deeply. His body was about to turn into dust—a cloud of blood. He was going to die!

The moment came and went quickly.

From the moment Qiu Shan attacked Jiang Yi until his death was only a matter of seconds. What’s more, Jiang Yi’s Astral Wind Blades acted like soul swords—even divine senses could not detect them. Thus, the scouts nearby just felt Qiu Shan deal an attack and then realized that Jiang Yi did not die. Instead, they only heard Jiang Yi say a couple of sentences before Qiu Shan turned into a cloud of blood.

“Huh!”

Many scouts stared... stunned. The scouts who had been running ahead of them stopped running as well. They turned back in confusion, wondering what had just happened. Was the Phantom Race that unrivaled that they could just say a few words to defeat Qiu Shan?

“Qiu Shan’s Ancient Divine Essence Ring!”

After killing the Demigod, Jiang Yi’s expression and emotions remained unchanged. This Demigod was not that powerful, and he had been severely injured beforehand as well. Jiang Yi had only killed the Demigod while he was panicking and running for his life—there was certainly nothing worth being proud of.

However, the Ancient Divine Essence Ring that was flying in the air did make him more excited. This was an Ancient Divine Essence Ring belonging to a Demigod. It was also the Ancient Divine Essence Ring belonging to the Sect Head of the Dwarf Race. Jiang Yi was sure that it would contain countless treasures and ancient weapons.

When he killed the five Demigods back on Stupa Mountain, the Nirvana Flames had been too aggressive. They melted even the rings belonging to those Demigods. It caused Jiang Yi to feel nothing but regret.

“Should I take it?”

Jiang Yi’s mind kept moving. At last, he decided to take the ring. After all, it would just take him two seconds.

However, this turned out to cause trouble for him!

The moment Qiu Shan died, Mantis Blade, Huo Yan, and Meng Nong—the Clan Head of the Mammoth Race—all straightened up at once. The three of them had been engaged in battle, but they immediately stopped what they were doing and ran straight toward Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi had no idea that the three of them had just been putting on an act. They had planned for Qiu Shan to escape so that Jiang Yi would take action. They had been the ones to transmit a voice in Qiu Shan’s ear asking him to run. Actually, this was all a part of Cao Duantian’s ploy.

Would Huo Yan and Meng Nong really bother about the friendship and loyalty between the three sects? The Dwarf Race was bound to be wiped out. If Qiu Shan was allowed to run away, it would only bring a lot of trouble to the rest of them. At the very least, the four sects would lose countless people in Qiu Shan’s quest for revenge.

“Kill!”

Mantis Blade’s eyes lit up. He quickly tunneled into the underground passages, with Huo Yan and Meng Nong following closely behind. Meng Nong looked just like a little hill—he jumped up and used both his fists to crash down into the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

No pit formed in the ground, but cracks began to spread out from the place where his fists landed. The ground began to shake. Jiang Yi, who was still underground, had been preparing to use Heaven Evasion upon grabbing the Ancient Divine Essence Ring. Right now, there was an earthquake. The ground was shaking even more violently now. There was no way he would be able to use it.

“Sh*t...”

Jiang Yi’s face changed. He did not think that his own greed would get him in so much trouble. He looked slightly crazed as the ring in his palm lit up, causing the Smelting Divine Furnace to appear.

“Qiu Shan, old bastard, die!”

At that exact moment, a roar came from behind Jiang Yi. He also heard a voice transmission in his ear: “Mo Xing, throw out Qiu Shan’s Ancient Divine Essence Ring and run away. I will hold Mantis Blade back for you. Whether you can escape Huo Yan and Meng Nong is all up to you now. Don’t use Heaven Evasion as well—Meng Nong can control space.”

“Mo Shen!”

Jiang Yi jumped. Hearing the last sentence made his heart thud. Mo Shen had already seen through his true identity. Yet, he still took the risk of being killed by Mantis Blade in order to help him. It was obvious that he was doing this for Mo Yao’er.

Swish!

Jiang Yi threw Qiu Shan’s Ancient Divine Essence Ring in front of him, toward Mantis Blade who had been charging toward him. He summoned his astral winds and caused his body to shoot out from underneath the ground. At the same time, he shouted, “Qiu Shan is already dead. You can have his divine weapons. I don’t want it!”

“Qiu Shan, that old dog, is dead? Hahaha, his divine weapons are all mine now.”

Mo Shen laughed out in excitement. He rushed forward, not caring about Jiang Yi who was already flying up above the ground. Turning toward Mantis Blade who was not far away, Mo Shen roared, “Mantis Blade, the Ancient Ring is mine! Get lost!”

Mantis Blade dealt a huge blow at top speed, but he could not dig underground passageways!

Even if he could use his mystical abilities to dig an underground passage, he would be far too slow. Mo Shen was already standing in front of him, with a black glow around his hands, ready to strike. Even if Mantis Blade wanted to chase after Jiang Yi, there was no way that he could do so.

He heard Jiang Yi and Mo Shen talking. Suspicion flashed across his eyes, but he recovered quickly and reached out for Qiu Shan’s Ancient Divine Essence Ring with one hand. At the same time, he shouted, “Mo Shen, if you don’t want to die, get out of the way...”

Mantis Blade knew full well that Jiang Yi was headed for the top, but he was not in the least bit worried. Meng Nong was already controlling space anyway, and Huo Yan was catching up. Where could Jiang Yi possibly run to? He would still die in the end, wouldn’t he?
