Chapter 493: He is Such a Coward...
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Sha Di, be careful!”
Xiao Longwang had been wary of Jiang Yi. After Jiang Yi disappeared, he instantly shouted.
Sha Di’s eyes became cold. The spear in his hand radiated with golden light and turned into tens of millions of images of the spear, which shot at Grandma Silver Flower. He quickly swept around his surroundings with his divine senses and found a current of space oscillation behind him. He wielded his spear to his back which was shooting like a flood dragon.
Buzz!
The space behind Sha Di shook, and an image was condensed. Jiang Yi didn’t panic upon seeing a golden spearing swinging to him, he grinned with contempt instead.
He had calculated the location of his instant shift. He was 300 meters away from Sha Di who was fending off Grandma Silver Flower. It would take some time for Sha Di to change his subject of attack, which was sufficient for Jiang Yi to launch his attack first.
Tsk! Tsk!
His hand was lit up with green light; he let out a few palm strikes all of a sudden. Immediately, flames that could cover the sky whizzed by. Many divine dragons were swimming inside these flames. The temperature was exceedingly high. Even Grandma Silver Flower, who was some distance away, could feel that terrible heat and was drenched with sweat—let alone Sha Di who was rushing towards Jiang Yi.
Swish!
Sha Di didn’t dare to come closer. That was right! If he continued to attack, he might be able to hit Jiang Yi instantly; but that could only happen if he could cross the sea of fire in front of him.
Could he cross the sea of fire?
Hundred Blossom Lady and Principal Yu were both burned to death alive by the flames, and so he would definitely be burned as well if he kept going. Once he was hurt, could he still hit Jiang Yi?
He had no choice but to retreat, but Grandma Silver Flower was behind him, whose spirits were lifted upon seeing Jiang Yi coming. She swung the scepter towards Sha Di, causing the space to tremble.
Swish! Swish!
Jiang Yi’s body kept flashing in mid-air. He shot tens of thousands of fire dragons or a sea of fire towards Sha Di from time to time. Furthermore, Grandma Silver Flower continued to attack him. Sha Di was exhausted from dealing with the two simultaneously. He might probably be killed in less than five minutes.
Roar! Roar!
Xiao Longwang on the other side had to heart to come over and help Sha Di, but the Yazi Beast was jumping up and down frenetically in the sky. It waved its sharp claws and released the sorcery from time to time in order to keep Xiao Longwang occupied.
Of course...
Whether Xiao Longwang was really busy dealing with the Yazi Beast or didn’t want to rescue Sha Di, only he himself knew.
“Stop the fight, stop the fight! Jiang Yi, I yield. I am willing to give up the Soul Seal and be your slave! I only beg you to spare my life.”
Jiang Yi suddenly heard a voice transmission. Sha Di even chickened out. Judging by his tone, he was not faking; it sounded like a sincere surrender. Jiang Yi was tempted as it was not a bad deal to take in a Vajra Realm martial expert as his slave.
However, Jiang Yi was no longer the naive boy he used to be. The Martial Arts Hall didn’t take any action yet. What if this was a trap? Thus, Jiang Yi looked at Sha Di coldly and made an ambiguous gesture. He never learned voice transmission, and so he could go convey his thoughts through gestures.
“You want me to attack Xiao Longwang?”
Sha Di was such a smart man. He understood Jiang Yi instantly and sent another voice transmission. Jiang Yi’s intention was clear—if Sha Di made a surprise attack on Xiao Longwang and killed him, he would accept Sha Di’s surrender.
Jiang Yi gave Sha Di a cue; Sha Di was hesitant. Grandma Silver Flower didn’t know the two were secretly communicating and continue to attack violently. Sha Di was indescribably miserable and defended with difficulty. After a moment, he sent a voice transmission: “Alright, Jiang Yi, you are also a reputable man. I hope that you can keep your words. I’m sending a voice transmission to Grandma Silver Flower. You cooperate with me to attack Xiao Longwang.”
Sha Di sent a voice transmission to Grandma Silver Flower who was startled and glanced at Jiang Yi. She was also a clear person and immediately understood his cue. Her attack became piercer now.
“Sha Di, die!”
Jiang Yi shouted in a low voice. He instant-shifted successively and released several seas of fire. Sha Di had no choice but to retreat towards Xiao Longwang. Grandma Silver Flower seized this opportunity and gave Xiao Longwang a hit on his back with her scepter. Sha Di flew to Xiao Longwang like a kite with a broken string. His back caved in; it appeared like he was hurt badly.
“Sha Di!”
The communication between Sha Di and Jiang Yi was very obscure. It looked like Xiao Longwang didn’t notice it. Seeing Sha Di was almost killed, he roared in grief.
He wielded the halberd in his hand with all his strength and let out a mutated beast to fend off the Yazi Beast. He grabbed Sha Di with one hand, and the halberd was swept towards Grandma Silver Flower who was following behind. He was trying to force Grandma Silver Flower to move backward and save Sha Di.
Swish!
A murderous look flickered across Sha Di’s eyes. He stabbed Xiao Longwang with the spear in his hand. They were fewer than 30 meters away from each other. The spear was even moving at an extremely fast speed and was about to reach Xiao Longwang.
“Hm, I knew you are a ruthless ingrate.”
Xiao Longwang not only didn’t panic but sneered. His multi-colored combat robe glowed. The halberd that was previously aimed at Grandma Silver Flower changed its direction abruptly and was swept towards Sha Di’s waist.
Bang!
Sha Di’s spear was stabbed at Xiao Longwang’s chest, but surprisingly, it didn’t pierce through his body. The multi-colored combat robe was shining with radiance. It was clearly a Defense Sacred Artifact.
Bang!
On the other hand, Sha Di was miserable. Xiao Longwang was much stronger than him and moved faster than him. How could he escape from the attack when the two were too close to each other? The halberd was swept with an overwhelming force that made Sha Di’s body burst.
Jiang Yi and Grandma Silver Flower couldn’t help turning around. Both of them knew that Sha Di was definitely dead. It was strange if Sha Di could survive Xiao Longwang’s furious strike.
Sha Di genuinely wanted to surrender!
Jiang Yi sighed pitifully. He thought that it was a scheme devised by the Martial Arts Hall or Ling Xue. Frowning, the doubt in his head grew stronger. The Martial Arts Hall still didn’t take any action till this point; what were they doing?
He scanned the ground below with divine senses. After making sure there was nothing suspicious, the murderous look flashed by his eyes. Giving Grandma Silver Flower and the Yazi Beast a glance, he shouted, “Kill!”
Roar! Roar!
“Xiao Longwang, die!”
The Yazi Beast burst into a roaring, and so did Grandma Silver Flower. The two turned into two sharp swords that were aiming at Xiao Longwang. At the same time, Jiang Yi disappeared in the air.
“Damn. The Martial Arts Hall is ruthless. Don’t blame me for being the same!”
Xiao Longwang shouted loudly. He was completely enraged after his divine senses found that the Martial Arts Hall was still quiet. Shooting out several essence force attacks from his halberd, he flew away like a mad dragon and escaped.
When a man compromised once, he would often compromise the next time. It was like how a harlot who sold herself once would often sell herself again. Xiao Longwang fled once in the past—which ruined his reputation for life, and so he didn’t care anymore.
Sha Di was dead. More than half of the soldiers down here were either killed or injured. The morale was sluggish. The city was about to be conquered, and the Martial Arts Hall had yet to send any troops.
He faced the attack from the Yazi Beast, Grandma Silver Flower, and Jiang Yi. If he didn’t flee now, he would definitely be killed in less than five minutes. What was the point even if he could manage to die with Grandma Silver Flower or the Yazi Beast?
Nobody liked to die, especially for this kind of high-ranked, powerful people who knew that they would never break through the Heaven Monarch Realm in their lifetime. Thus, they would cherish their lives even more. They had lived for a long time and had long lost the lofty aspirations and fighting spirits that they used to have in their youth.
Since they had no sense of shame or dignity, they would prefer to live.
The continent was not big, but it was surrounded by many islands. Many Xiao Clansmen had long set sail into the sea to look after a well-concealed island to settle.
He could go to the sea, cultivate in secret, and live his life comfortably. As if whether the Northern Mang Kingdom would fall, did it have any business to do with him? Though the Xiao Clan was the No.1 clan in the Northern Mang Kingdom and had a close relationship with the royal family—ultimately, the royal family’s surname was “Xiao”.
“He is such a coward...”
Looking at Xiao Longwang who turned into a stream of light and disappeared in a distance, Jiang Yi touched his nose speechlessly. Xiao Longwang was so fast that they couldn’t catch him. The fight down below was getting intense, and so they couldn’t go after him.
He had to instant-shift downwards and shouted at the same time, “Yazi Beast and Grandma Silver Flower, go down and attack the city. Kill their remaining hundreds of thousands of troops for me!”
