Chapter 1043 - Fight Till the Death

Chapter 1043: Fight Till the Death

Jiang Yi’s name was widely known. He had killed five Demigods on Stupa Mountain. They were the Demigods of the North Thearch’s martial arts family as well. When the North Thearch finally took action, Jiang Yi even escaped unscathed. This caused everyone in the Snow Region to think that Jiang Yi was extremely formidable—comparable to a seven- or eight-star martial artist!

Now, even Huo Yan’s strongest and most all-consuming flames did not cause any harm to Jiang Yi. Instead, the latter just absorbed the flames. Of course, Huo Yan would start to fear him. Nobody wanted to die. Even Demigods were only Demigods, not fully a god. It was understandable that Huo Yan would run away so quickly.

Of course, Huo Yan had not really been trying to escape in fear. He only saw Meng Nong appear and decided to hide behind Meng Nong’s back. In all the years that the three races had worked together, the other two sects had been used to hiding behind those of the Mammoth Race. The dwarfs would offer some help, but the Fire Chi Race was always in charge of the attacks. The Fire Chi Race was not good at defending themselves. With Meng Nong in front of him, at least Huo Yan would not have to fear being hurt too badly.

“Jiang Yi?”

Meng Nong heard what Huo Yan had to say. He trembled slightly, but rage very quickly took over him. The people of the East Imperial Continent were here to cause trouble? Moreover, they were responsible for the civil war within the Snow Region? This caused Meng Nong to see red. He was confident in his own defense skills. His body, which was the size of a hill, flew toward Jiang Yi as he raised two fists up in the air. Layers of air stirred, causing ripples throughout the sky. Jiang Yi’s speed was reduced significantly. He could not even escape!

“Kill—”

Jiang Yi did not retreat. If he did not kill Meng Nong, he would die. He quickly drew near to Meng Nong and kept the soft sword. The Divine Sound Heaven Skill was too ineffective against Demigods. Since Demigods had god spirits, ordinary spiritual attacks meant nothing to them.

Since spiritual attacks did not work, Jiang Yi could only employ dao patterns!

The black iron sword in Jiang Yi’s other hand was put away as well. It had been a long time since he activated the Fire Dragon Sword. The long sword danced around in front of him, causing the divine lightning from the Nine Heavens to strike Meng Nong’s body incessantly.

At the same time, Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword lit up. He began to release the Heaven-Devouring Devil Flames that he had just absorbed from Huo Yan earlier. Tens of thousands of fire dragons shot toward Meng Nong like heat waves.

“Astral Wind Blades!”

Jiang Yi’s empty hand danced around the air at lightning speed, summoning unstoppable astral winds. The winds pushed forward, gathering into Astral Wind Blades.

He was combining three different attacks!

Jiang Yi was not hoping to kill Meng Nong. He was only trying to get him to retreat and stop controlling the layers of air so that he could use Heaven Evasion.

It was good to dream, but the reality was cruel.

Meng Nong’s frowned with focus. He did not look like he had any intention to retreat. Instead, both his hands did not stop controlling the layers of air around him. He had only one strategy to deal with the three different attacks from Jiang Ying—use brute force.

Boom!

The divine lightning was the first to strike. Meng Nong’s divine shield vibrated, and the glow around it dimmed slightly. The ten Astral Wind Blades shot it immediately after. The light around the divine shield began to flicker, but it did not break.

These Astral Wind Blades had broken the protective layer around a top-grade Heaven Fate Ship once. It was obvious that Meng Nong’s defense was strong. At last, the Heaven-Devouring Devil Flames hit Meng Nong. The latter’s skin turned flushed immediately. His divine shield was now as weak as paper, but it still remained functional. Meng Nong’s essence force stirred. The divine shield was getting bright again.

Swish!

Huo Yan flew out from behind Meng Nong and used a single hand to reach out toward the Heaven-Devouring Devil Flames. The devil flames were absorbed into his palm. The three attacks that Jiang Yi dealt had all been overcome. Although there was still divine lightning striking down from the sky, they were no longer strong enough to break through Meng Nong’s divine shield.

“You feel good attacking me, don’t you? It’s my turn now!”

Meng Nong’s face split into a grin. He was smiling, but there was so much meat on his face that he looked quite creepy. With his right hand, he made a fist and punched out in front of him. This time, instead of ripples forming in the air, there were golden fist marks instead. The fist marks were not big, and they did not look like much. The only frightening thing about them was they were moving at top speed.

In fact, they were moving at an astonishing speed!

There was no way for Jiang Yi to avoid them at all. The fist marks reached him in just a matter of seconds. The Astral Winds Divine Shield in front of Jiang Yi’s body shook, and his entire body got thrown back from the impact. This blow very clearly drew energy away from Jiang Yi’s Astral Winds. In fact, his divine shield looked like it would break apart at any moment.

Indeed, a Demigod’s attack should not be underestimated.

Jiang Yi’s chest tightened. The fist marks were a kind of low-leveled, gold-elemental dao pattern. Jiang Yi guessed that it was about three-stars, but definitely not more than five. Yet, it felt extremely powerful. Before the fist marks even reached the Astral Winds Divine Shield, Jiang Yi felt his internal organs being damaged from their aura.

“Thunder Fire!”

It was no longer possible for Jiang Yi to activate Astral Winds and form another Astral Winds Divine Shield. He could only depend on his thunder fire and try to quickly form a Thunder Fire Divine Shield.

Burst!

His body flew back a few tens of meters once again as the Astral Winds Divine Shield broke apart. The Thunder Fire Divine Shield formed just in time, but this Thunder Fire Divine Shield would not be able to last that long either. Jiang Yi knew that it would fall apart in no time.

Divine shield.

In between the impacts, Jiang Yi activated his essence force and tried to focus all of it on his own divine shield.

His divine shield finally exploded, to no surprise on the part of Jiang Yi. The good thing was that the power of the fist marks was slowly reducing. Jiang Yi’s body was sunken into a small hill. There was an obvious dent on his chest. Four bones were broken, and there was fresh blood flowing out from his mouth uncontrollably.

“Jiang Yi of East Imperial Continent. That’s all there is to you. Old Huo, you’re too useless. You were so scared of him.”

The flesh on Meng Nong’s face trembled as it split into a grin. He was talking, but his hands kept moving. He kept controlling the air to prevent Jiang Yi from using Heaven Evasion.

“Pui! I only came backwards to get ready to attack him.”

Huo Yan’s face was now flushed. He was beyond ashamed. He was talking tough, but his eyes revealed the anger he was feeling. He saw clearly for himself—given the speed at which Jiang Yi formed divine shields and reacted, he was no Demigod. He had only been tooting his own horn and trying to scare Huo Yan earlier.

“Die!”

As the shame washed over him, Huo Yan jumped over Meng Nong and flew toward Jiang Yi. Both of his hands danced in the air. This time, he formed a huge fire dragon. It looked like a Ku beast on fire. An aura of destruction overwhelmed Jiang Yi.

Boom!

The Demigod’s attack came way too quickly. There was no way Jiang Yi would have been able to avoid it. All he could do was grit his teeth as he summoned another Astral Winds Divine Shield to fend off the attack. This time, however, the impact caused him to be buried further into the hill by at least thirty meters. In fact, most of the hill had been blown off by the impact. Loose rocks danced around in the air and clouds covered the skies.

This time, Jiang Yi did much better. This dao pattern looked scary, but it was fire-elemental. Its main mode of attack was still through fire. Since Jiang Yi’s body was fire-resistant, the Ku beast’s explosion only caused impact wounds to Jiang Yi.

Even so, however, Jiang Yi was already injured. This extra impact was added pain for him. What’s more, Demigods were way too powerful. His entire body was now covered in the color of fresh blood. There was still fresh blood flowing out of his mouth. It was painful to even look at him.

“Alright, Old Huo, let’s not kill him. We have to ask him properly and find out who was the one who sent him here. Let’s go back to the Heaven Hidden Sect and ask the Sacred Highness to be our judge. The East Imperial Continent has been bullying everyone else. We, the Snow Region, cannot let them get away with it.”

Seeing that Huo Yan was about to deal more attacks, Meng Nong quickly spoke up in a low voice. From the way he saw it, Jiang Yi was only a small character who could be smashed with just one finger. He could do whatever he wanted to Jiang Yi; of course, he saw no reason to kill him off so quickly.

Swish!

Meng Nong rushed toward the hill that Jiang Yi was buried in, and Huo Yan followed closely behind him. Meng Nong was not stupid. He kept stirring the air to prevent Jiang Yi from using Heaven Evasion through it. All Jiang Yi could do was watch as the two of them got closer and closer to him.

Three kilometers, one and a half kilometers, nine-hundred meters... three-hundred meters...

Jiang Yi’s body was still stuck among the rocks. He lay there motionless, looking like he was a dead man. However, he peered at the two Demigods through his slit eyes, secretly keeping count of the distance. People who knew him well would know that he was getting ready to fight till death.
