Chapter 914: Killed Instantly

She Fei, Yi Chan, and their group were already 15 kilometers away from the magma lake. It would take more than one hour to return. Jiang Yi was very comfortable in the magma lake. He already got a dozen spirit herbs. To his disappointment, the Fire-Snake Orchid was not among them.

In the end, the speed of the explosion was getting slower. Yin Ruobing told him that there were over 20 spirit herbs in every explosion. The spirit herbs that he had, together with She Fei’s, should be more than 20 now. He didn’t know whether more spirit herbs would come out, he had to wait anxiously.

Yi Chan and her group reached near the magma lake first. However, they didn’t dare to go close. They were not afraid of death, but they took their lives seriously. A warrior didn’t rush straight away; an idiot would.

“Let’s go!”

Yi Chan looked into the surroundings from two kilometers away. After she was certain that there was no movement in the lake, she waved her hands and led the group to get one kilometer closer and hide behind a giant rock. They didn’t risk go nearer and waited quietly for the magma to continue exploding. They wanted to see whether that Demon Sovereign would appear again.

“Rein the aura in!”

She Fei took seven peak-stage Heaven Monarchs and returned to the small valley that they hid in just now, waiting for the magma to explode. At the same time, they checked the surroundings carefully again.

After ten minutes, the magma lake exploded again. As expected, Jiang Yi was washed out again. His appearance was still that of the Demon Sovereign, surging with demon aura. However, after it was three meters above the lake, its body shot back to the bottom of the lake again.

“It’s Demon Sovereign—it’s the aura of the Demon Sovereign!”

The eyes of a peak-stage Heaven Monarch beside She Fei were filled with terror. That Demon Sovereign’s aura was too strong that even they, at the other side, could feel it clearly. His lefts were a bit soft. If She Fei didn’t stay still, he would have run away by now.

“Let’s retreat, Young Master Fei!”

The other people also whispered at him softly and gave him the same advice. She Fei sneered instead, and let out a cold look at his lips. He said, “You are idiots. How can a Demon Sovereign be so slow? How will a Demon Sovereign be washed out by magma? Don’t you use your brains?”

“Uh?”

They thought about it carefully and realized it was strange. Jiang Yi’s speed was indeed very slow. In addition, he was clearly washed out by the magma. However, the Demon Sovereign aura was so obvious, which made them hesitate.

She Fei pondered for a while and said, “When the magma explodes again, you two go over and test whether it is a real Demon Sovereign.”

“Us?”

Two peak-stage Heaven Monarchs’ faces grew pale with fright. One of them quickly shook his head and said, “Young Master Fei, I can’t. You know my strength. I haven’t comprehended any upper-tier dao pattern, and my combined combat ability is only one star…”

“Shut up!”

She Fei glanced at him coldly and said, “Don’t follow if you refuse now, but if you go, I will give each of you a pseudo-divine artifact. Make a choice!”

The two were silent and looked at each other. Finally, they said between clenched teeth, “Alright, we’ll go!”

“En!”

She Fei nodded in satisfaction and said, “Later, you’ll fly to the center of the magma lake. Don’t attack it and focus all your strength on defense. We will protect you in time. We will find out whether it is a real Demon Sovereign. If it is faked, I will make it more miserable than death. How dares he to compete with the tiger! Humph!”

…

“My Lady, I will try it!”

On the other side, Big Sister Xing gritted her teeth and said. What She Fei could think of was surely obvious to these two clever young ladies. Big Sister Xing had the strongest defense powerful and had to volunteer herself as she couldn’t let the two ladies take the risk.

Yin Ruobing glanced at Big Sister Xing, thought for a while, and nodded. “Em, when you go there, don’t attack. You just need to take one round and don’t provoke him. If it is a Demon Sovereign, we’ll cover you and help you retreat by all means.”

“There is no need!”

Yi Chan waved her hands and said, “If I’m guessing correctly. She Fei should be back, too. He will send people to test the Demon Sovereign later. We just need to wait. If She Fei takes no action, you can go later!”

“Alright!”

Big Sister Xing nodded in relief. The Demon Sovereign’s aura was too powerful. If she could stay here, it would be best.

“Closer!”

Yi Chan waited for a while and waved her hand. They rushed to the front and hid behind a giant rock 300 meters away from the lake. They reined their auras in, held their breath, and waited quietly.

Time ticked by slowly. The magma exploded at a slower rate, and should only leave with the last few explosions. According to the records by their clans, the most valuable treasures often came in the last few explosions. This magma lake could breed some top-level spirit herbs, which could only be found nowhere in the entire Stellarsky Domain except here.

Gulp~

Bubbles finally began to appear in the magma lake center before the magma started to surge. Yi Chan located the center of the magma lake. A small red paG.o.da appeared in her hand and gradually got larger, and the group flashed and entered the paG.o.da.

The Primal Essence PaG.o.da automatically absorbed the heaven and earth essence force to form a s.h.i.+eld like the Thearch Palace. The more the energy consumed, the worse the defense power would be. Therefore, Yi Chan only took it out when she had absolutely no alternatives. This was meant to save their lives at a crucial moment. The magma was too hot that their divine s.h.i.+elds couldn’t block it. If they didn’t retreat, they had to rely on the paG.o.da.

“The magma is erupting! She Fei’s men are here!”

After they entered the paG.o.da, everyone released their divine senses. The moment that magma spurted, two streams of red light shot over. These two people both had a giant skull above their heads and stopped the scalding magma. However, the light on the two skulls dimmed rapidly. They might have been scorched by the magma.

“The Demon Sovereign is out!”

Yin Ruobing cried out, and everyone’s divine senses swept to the lake center. A human-shaped Demon Sovereign was washed out by the magma. His eyes were filled with an ecstatic look, with a small snake-shaped gra.s.s-root in his hand. Yi Chan took a glance and exclaimed, “Fire-Snake Orchid, it’s the top-level spirit herb!”

“En?”

Jiang Yi indeed got the Fire-Snake Orchid and was overjoyed at it. However, this feeling was soon disrupted by two streams of light shooting from a distance. An angry look flickered across his eyes; how dared the She Fei’s men to come over again!

“What should I do?”

At the fleeting moment, Jiang Yi’s head was spinning rapidly. She Fei’s men returned, which meant that they got suspicious. He couldn’t scare them off this time and might be chased by them.

“Soul swords!”

His eyes turned and an idea quickly occurred to him. He squirmed around, with demon aura surging to the sky. He bawled at the sky and rushed to the two men like a Demon Sovereign in wrath.

At the same time, two dark gold soul swords rushed quickly from his sword soul sea. However, instead of shooting them from his glabella, he controlled them to leave from his eyes, which gave people a feeling that he was releasing a demonic art!

“Die—!”

He burst out shouting. Two soul swords flashed by before disappearing like two bolts of lightning. They were horrifyingly fast. These two peak-stage Heaven Monarchs didn’t even have time to react before the soul swords entered their heads. All they saw were two streams of dark gold light.

The soul swords were very fast by themselves and were two times faster by the nourishment of the b.u.t.terfly’s Spring. Therefore, how could two peak-stage Heaven Monarchs whose combined combat ability was not very strong fend them off?

“Demonic arts!”

Their soul spirits almost shattered in fright. They felt strange energy flowing to their minds. They immediately controlled the two stones in their soul spirit sea to spin around their soul spirit madly to protect their soul spirits.

The stones were called the Golden Soul Rock, which was a treasure exclusive to the She Clan. Only the peak-stage Heaven Monarchs of the She Clan were ent.i.tled to it. It was used to protect their soul spirits and was a rather useful treasure.

Bang!

However—!

The Golden Soul Rocks were far weaker when compared with the soul swords which had evolved twice, and they were easily shattered. Then, the soul swords darted into their soul spirits. Their soul spirits were instantly destroyed.

Their bodies trembled before falling limply. They died instantly.

“Instant kill?”

She Fei and his group were just going to launch the attack, but when they flew out, those two peak-stage Heaven Monarchs were already dead. This time, everyone was terrified. It killed peak-stage Heaven Monarchs in an instant; it was very likely it was really a Demon Sovereign.

“Flee!”

Without any hesitation, She Fei brought the group and rushed into a distance. Yi Chan, on the other side, all put away the paG.o.da right away and ran with Yin Ruobing and her group. They no longer dared to go closer to the magma lake.
