Chapter 188: Northern Liang Kingdom’s Martial Artist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yi was a Purple Mansion Realm martial artist; hence, he redeemed the medal that was red in color. If anyone killed him and obtained his medal, they would obtain two military merits and two accumulation points.

“Use your essence force to refine this medal. Sink your thoughts into the medal, and you will be able to sense the locations of other martial artists that are wearing the medals! The effective radius is a thousand feet. The teleportation array will teleport you to random locations, so you don’t have to worry about being surrounded once you enter. The Kingdom War will last for a month, and everyone that is still surviving after one month will be teleported out. Alright, go in then!”

The imperial guard that distributed the medals explained the basic rules while Jiang Yi silently read it out in his mind again. He took the medal and stepped into the teleportation array.

There was a white flash. The moment Jiang Yi opened his eyes, he scanned the surroundings, making sure there were no martial artists around. He then snuck over to a stone peak ahead.

He concealed his body within the stone peaks before scanning everything around him. The surrounding vicinity was a whole area of wilderness. There were small hills in the distant, and it looked similar to the strange space within the Tomb of the Heaven Monarch. The sky was dusky, and the sun, moon, and stars weren’t visible. There wasn’t much illumination, and the air had this subtle stench of blood. Jiang Yi didn’t know whether there was a recent slaughter or it was left from a long time ago.

I should refine this medal first. I will be able to find the enemies afterward!

Jiang Yi swiftly revolved the medal with his essence force. Soon enough, when he could feel a trace of connection with this medal, he quickly immersed his mind into the medal to begin sensing enemies.

Finally, he couldn’t sense any presence of other medals, and it seemed like there were no martial artists hiding in an ambush. He looked around and immediately stored the medal into the Fire Spirit Pearl. Without the medal on his body, no one would be able to sense him even if they were in the nearby vicinity.

He swiftly took out his outer coat and retrieved a black night coat from the Fire Spirit Pearl. He even took out a black wolf mask to wear before he began to move out.

“Buzz!”

After every distance of a few thousand feet, Jiang Yi would take out the medal and sense the surround situation. After he made sure there wasn’t anyone nearby, he would set off again. After traveling for about five kilometers, he noticed that the terrain actually changed ahead. It wasn’t wilderness anymore, but a desert appeared instead.

Desert!

Jiang Yi didn’t dare to advance. He would be an easy target if he traveled over the desert, and once he got spotted, it would be easier to pursue him. Jiang Yi was definitely not afraid to be chased after by someone; he was just afraid of being surrounded.

“Eh?”

He subconsciously took out the medal to sense the surroundings. There was actually two red light spots floating in his mind, and they were at the desert ahead.

Someone is here!

He promptly kept the medal and scuttled to the top of a huge tree. He peered through the dense leaves and looked towards the desert.

“Swish!”

There was a violent gale that blew up in the desert, and two figures rushed along with the blown-up yellow sand. They had a very fast speed and took just a blink of the eye to approach Jiang Yi.

People from the Northern Liang Kingdom. Two Purple Mansion Realm!

There was a flash of killing intent in Jiang Yi’s eyes, but he didn’t immediately make his move. Instead, he held his breath and withdrew his presence while waiting for the two of them to come closer.

“Eh? We definitely sensed someone over here. Why did he suddenly vanish? Could he be so fast?”

There was a slight difference in the battle armor between the Northern Liang and the Northern Mang Kingdoms. The Northern Mang Kingdom used battle armors that were simple and practical while the Northern Liang Kingdom’s battle armors looked slightly more elegant. These two martial artists were wearing silver battle armor with decorative designs, which obviously meant they were people from the Northern Liang Kingdom.

The moment Jiang Yi sensed them, the two of them sensed him, too. Jiang Yi was just fast enough to promptly keep the medal into his Fire Spirit Pearl. This was why the two of them couldn’t sense him anymore and were currently searching around frantically.

The two of them scanned around suspiciously and slowed down their footsteps. One of them even scanned the tree that Jiang Yi was hiding in, but Jiang Yi had withdrawn his presence and also held his breath. They would never be able to see him from such a distance.

A hundred feet, 90 feet, 80 feet...

Jiang Yi was counting the distance silently. When they were around 30 feet away from the huge tree, he made his move. He shot off of the tree like a pouncing leopard. While he was in mid-air, the Black Scale Sword whistled while glowing with blue light. Sword shadows that covered the sky enveloped both of them.

Earth-tier martial skill, Overflow Rain Sword—Summer Rain Downpour!

“Ah?”

The two Northern Liang Kingdom’s martial artists suddenly realized it and abruptly raised their head, only to see a pair of eyes with biting cold aura and that chilling Black Scale Sword. The two of them were frightened stiff but managed to draw out battle sabers promptly to block the attack.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

The anticipated sound of clashing metal didn’t echo; instead, there was only the sound of a sharp weapon tearing through cloth. The two battle sabers were instantly slashed apart by Jiang Yi’s Black Scale Sword like wooden blocks. The Black Scale Sword slashed across without resistance and slid towards their necks.

“Crack!”

One of the necks was slashed, causing the head to fly up. The other martial artist reacted fast enough to retreat. Just as he wanted to turn and flee, a black light flashed when the God-Exterminating Bow in Jiang Yi’s other hand was released. There was no way to dodge the crossbow bolt in such a short distance, piercing through the Northern Liang Kingdom’s martial artist chest and bursting out with a blood mist. He fell onto the ground with a loud rumble while his eyes were still filled with fear and confusion.

“Swish!”

With a sweep of the Black Scale Sword, Jiang Yi sent this man on his way to the netherworld. He quickly searched their bodies and found two pieces of red medals before swiftly leaving.

Four accumulation points obtained!

Storing these two red medals into the Fire Spirit Pearl, Jiang Yi nodded with approval and thought that these accumulation points didn’t take a lot of his effort. Without the enhancement of the black essence force, the Black Scale Sword shouldn’t have the power of a heaven-artifact. However, it was still a spirit artifact—normal artifacts had no chance to contend against it.

Most importantly—because he had the spatial divine artifact, the others couldn’t detect his location, giving him the best opportunities to execute a sneak attack. This medal which could detect other medals and was the best device for chasing after enemies. Spatial divine artifacts like the ancient divine essence rings were rare, and people would seldom assume that the enemy had one. Scheming against a mind that didn’t think of such things, Jiang Yi naturally came out victorious.

Jiang Yi didn’t continue towards the desert and continued towards the other direction of the wilderness instead. Traveling on the desert was like exposing himself as a target. Even if he had the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf, it would be difficult for him to escape if he was surrounded. The wilderness had mountains and forests for concealment, giving him the confidence to even break out from entrapment of a hundred Soul Travel Realm experts.

Jiang Yi continued to travel and used the medal to sense enemies. This Crystal Stone Plains was obviously massive. After traveling for 30 minutes, Jiang Yi couldn’t find another enemy.

The purpose of the Kingdom War was to kill, and Jiang Yi already had this clear definition in his heart that everyone was an enemy apart from the cadets of the Mt. Spirit Beast College and the members from the Zhan and the Qian Clan.

Since they were enemies, he had to kill them on sight and must not have any mercy; otherwise, he would be the one dead.

Eh? There is a ravine ahead?

Jiang Yi sprinted up a small peak and saw a giant ravine from afar, stopping him in his advancement. He came to the top of the ravine and looked down, feeling this dilemma.

The Crystal Stone Plains was named as plains, but why was the terrain so special? Did he have to change directions again? This ravine looked like it was bottomless; he couldn’t know what was inside. There was no way to get across it either.

Forget it... I will stop moving for now. Since the Kingdom War is going to last for a month, I will wait here for a few days and let them slaughter each other for the moment. I will make a move by then and obtain more medals with ease.

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of a good idea. The Kingdom War had just begun; hence, it was hard to find other martial artists, and most of them only had one medal. This Crystal Stone Plains was enormous, and it was hard to do any searching. Why not wait for them to slaughter each other first and just kill those surviving martial artists who have more medals on them...?
