Chapter 1655: Life Laws

Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!

One of the mummy’s claws and two of its huge legs kept working like three invincible battle swords. Each time it waved its limbs, a few lives were lost. The G.o.d Thearchs were no different from mud. The mummy could easily strike them to death. It was really like a ferocious tiger; it was not a force to be reckoned with!

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Even so, the Lion Dragon Army kept charging at Jiang and the mummy. This was an extremely powerful army in the Dao Clan. Under their leader’s command—even if they had to fight until they had one man left standing, they would not back down.

“Get lost!”

Jiang Yi did not want to be held back by this army. He summoned his Merged Flames and thrust his hand forward several times. He was almost out of Merged Flames. There were only so much Prairie Flames; he did not have an endless source after all. However, at a time like this, he saw no point in retaining any more for his own use. If he died, there would be no use for these flames.

The Merged Flames were very powerful indeed. Even Heavenly King You, dressed in his Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor, got burned to death. What could Jiang Yi expect of these ordinary soldiers? Jiang Yi sent his flames in all different directions. At once, groups of people in midair began screaming in anguish. Many people’s bodies caught flames as well. The scene was almost too painful to watch.

Swis.h.!.+

Like a dart, the mummy continued to fly forward, cutting right through the army. It easily broke out of the barrier set up by the hundred-thousand-strong army. Yet, people continued to fly towards them from left and right. Two King-Ranked martial artists dressed in sky-blue battle armor flew in front and blocked their way. One of them shouted, “Are you still trying to run?”

“I’m not trying to run; I want to kill you!”

The mummy suddenly turned towards the King-Ranked martial artist who had spoken. Jiang Yi activated his Thousand Illusory Hands and caused palms to appear everywhere the man looked. The man was rooted in his position as he looked around in terror. A sky-blue fire-repelling pearl appeared in his hand. At the same time, images of a long spear appeared all around, preventing Jiang Yi from getting any nearer to him.

Crack!

The fire-repelling pearl cracked as the long spear pierced right through the mummy’s chest. However, the mummy twisted, and the strong impact caused the King-Ranked martial artist to cough up a mouthful of blood. He lost grip of his long spear. At the same time, the mummy struck him with a single claw. The man reacted extremely quickly. A battle sword appeared in the man’s hand at that instant. He used it to stab the mummy’s claw.

That’s right, he stabbed the mummy’s claw and did not try to chop it off!

He clearly had plenty of battle experience. If he had tried to cut the mummy’s claw off, his arms would have rebounded, exposing his critical body parts. If that happened, he would have died for sure.

Crack!

Very quickly, he realized that he had made a wise decision. At once, his battle sword broke into pieces. The good thing was that the rebounding force caused him to move backward, and he gained a few more seconds. At that moment between life and death, he made another shocking move: he split his body into tens of parts and caused each part to fly in different directions.

“What kind of mystical ability is this?”

Jiang Yi was speechless because shortly after these ten or so body parts flew in all different directions, they gathered back below and formed a whole, living person once again. However, this person looked much paler than he did before. Jiang Yi guessed that his body’s aura was extremely weak. As fast as he could, Jiang Yi escaped into the distance.

“Is this man trained in the Life Laws?”

Jiang Yi could not figure it out, and he had no time to continue trying either. He did not even want to hunt the man down. Instead, he steered the mummy forward. After traveling several kilometers, a high-pitched sound cut through the air and traveled towards him. He used his divine senses to scan the area and cursed in his heart.

The leader of the Lion Dragon Army, the Ninth Elder of the Dao Clan, was making his move now. His method of attack was extremely strange. He did not hold a single battle sword in his hand. Instead, he wielded a scepter. He waved the scepter in front of him, causing countless rattans to shoot out of the scepter. Jiang Yi took one look and guessed that there were at least a million rattans, covering the area within tens of kilometers of the scepter.

“Rattans?”

A formidable martial artist like him would not make use of ordinary rattans. This Ninth Elder’s motive was clear: he wanted to trap Jiang Yi until the other formidable martial artists from his clan arrived.

The rattans moved too quickly, and they covered the entire s.p.a.ce. There was no way the mummy could even dodge it. Jiang Yi had no choice but to turn the mummy around and run in the other direction. At the same time, he shot his Merged Flames backward!

As expected…

Such powerful flames could not even destroy the rattans. Instead, they only caused green smoke to emit from the tips of the rattans. The rattans continued to shoot towards Jiang Yi. What’s more, they were moving a fraction faster than the mummy.

“He! He!”

Jiang Yi had no other choice but to keep shooting out his flames. He did not dare to allow the rattans to get any closer to him. If they were allowed to grab him and the mummy, the latter may have been able to break out of it. However, sooner or later, he would be trapped by the countless rattans flying towards them. Then, there would be no opportunity for them to escape.

“Sh*t, how long are these rattans?”

After flying five hundred kilometers, the rattans behind him continued to extend towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi looked around his ninth star sphere and found that there was only one small ball of flames left. He guessed that he would only be able to deal a few more attacks before he would completely run out of flames.

More than half of the Prairie Flames in Jiang Yi’s Fire Spirit Pearl had already been used up, and the little beast was consuming the remaining flames bit by bit. Without Prairie Flames, he would lose one of his strongest attacks. The Thousand Illusory Hands would become useless to him.

“Hurry, hurry!”

Jiang Yi activated the Power of Heaven and Earth and caused the mummy to sprint even faster. He had used up even half of that. This continuous battle was causing the mummy to consume his powers rapidly. If he used up his Power of Heaven and Earth, the mummy would be as good as dead.

At last, after traveling another fifty kilometers, the rattans behind him halted in midair. It looked like they had extended to their maximum length. Either that, or the Ninth Elder could no longer keep up with the mummy and could no longer control his rattans.

Hoo-hoo!

Jiang Yi panted as he activated his divine senses and scanned behind him. He saw Ninth Elder five hundred kilometers away, still not giving up the chase. Two more King-Ranked martial artists followed closely behind him.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”

Jiang Yi shouted in a low tone. He had to shake Ninth Elder off and lose him. What’s more, Jiang Yi had to get a good distance away before it would be safe for him to find somewhere to hide. Otherwise, King-Ranked martial artists would easily be able to find him.

He continued flying like this, with the mummy moving slightly faster than Ninth Elder. The distance between them continued to widen, but Ninth Elder’s divine senses were terrifying. Every once in a while, Jiang Yi would feel his divine senses sweep past him. He was still within Ninth Elder’s sights.

“Eh?”

After flying another one thousand kilometers, Jiang Yi found a small mountain. There was a city situated on that mountain peak. Jiang Yi scanned the city and quickly made up his mind.

Swis.h.!.+

He steered the mummy towards the mountain peak. Since he was moving too fast, the guards in the city did not have time to react before Jiang Yi appeared in their airs.p.a.ce.

“Who are you?”

One of the commanders, a t.i.tled Battle G.o.d, situated on top of the city wall shouted at Jiang Yi anxiously. Many other guards noticed that an invader had approached and were getting ready to fight. In a cool tone, Jiang Yi replied, “I am the Cold Thearch’s nephew. Get lost!”

Hearing Dao Leng’s name scared the entire group speechless. At that moment, none of them dared to attack Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi swept the city using his divine senses and then celebrated in his heart.

This city was too small; there was not even a single King-Ranked martial artist. The most powerful among them was a t.i.tled Battle G.o.d. Jiang Yi steered the mummy to fly over the city as streams of light shot out of his hand towards the castles below.

The streams of light that he shot out of his palms were not that strong; they only managed to destroy tens of castles. At the same time, Jiang Yi released a small bit of flames, which caused the surrounding temperature to increase significantly. His own body overflowing with killing intent, he said, “You have six seconds to leave the city, or I will kill you without question.”

“Wow!”

The city was small, but there were at least a million people within. Jiang Yi’s attack and the terrifyingly high temperatures scared all the people in the city. All of them flew out of their homes like birds scared out of their nests, running away in all directions.

Jiang Yi did not kill a single person. Instead, he kept the mummy and charged into the city. As fast as he could, he concealed himself. Then, he ran out of the city together with the crowd. Along the way, he even shot tens of streams of light, which caused more castles to fall over, frightening more people. The entire situation became even more chaotic.

He escaped together with the crowd, out of the city and into the distance. After he ran for more than five hundred kilometers, he immediately summoned the mummy and sped forward at top speed.

Swis.h.!.+

A while after Jiang Yi escaped, Ninth Elder—who had been behind him—cried out in anger. He looked at the sky filled with people running in all directions, and at once figured out what Jiang Yi was trying to do. He wanted these one million people to cause chaos and then use the messy situation to sneak away.
