My Fury Will Burn The Heavens

Chapter 1681: Ghost-Eyed Beast King



Rather than calling it a mountainous region, it would be more apt to call it a den of monsters.

Demonic flames filled the mountainous region. From their position far away, they could already feel the cold, devilish, and dark auras surging towards them. Everyone’s backs grew cold as their hairs stood up.

The mountainous region was vast, and the terrain was complicated with mountains and valleys everywhere. It was pitch-black, and no one knew where Netherworld Realm beings were hiding in. Within the black fog, divine senses were impeded. If one stayed in there for a long time, one could easily become demonized. Once someone was demonized, all the soldiers present would choose to commit suicide rather than becoming the Netherworld Realm’s lackeys.

“Let’s split up and enter. Take your time to kill the Netherworld Realm beings; do not be rash!”

Yun Bing gestured as she gave her orders. The ten Commanders all led their men and flew in all directions, each entering a specific region to start the cleansing operation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Battle sounds soon rang out, with Yun Bing bringing the two Senior Commanders and thirty-six bodyguards all about and preparing to reinforce each skirmish.

“Bucket Formation!”

Jiang Yi chose to be very careful as he asked everyone to surround him in formation. Zhang Danian and three Titled Battle Gods were responsible for paving the way while one Titled Battle God was stationed at either wing of the formation. Two Titled Battle Gods remained in the center, prepared to reinforce any side if necessary. Jiang Yi would remain in the middle as well to control the situation.

After the previous battle, these ninety-odd men had become more polished and experienced; they also complemented each other better. As they didn’t need to be concerned with the Netherworld Aura, no one had any reservations as they gave their all and started the slaughter. They destroyed all the Netherworld Realm beings that were emerging from the black fog ahead.

Advancing steadily and cleansing the enemy step-by-step!

That was Yun Bing’s strategy, and her army followed it strictly. Once all the Netherworld Realm beings in the vicinity were exterminated, the black fog around grew slightly fainter and also reduced the chance of anyone becoming demonized.

However…

As time passed and everyone went deeper into the mountainous region, the battle lines were pulled further and further apart. As more and more Netherworld Realm beings in the nether parts of the mountainous region were lured over, pockets and holes in the army’s formation soon appeared. There were just so many Netherworld Realm beings, and every troop could only attack on their own.

Wuu-wuu!

There were indeed many Netherworld Realm beings in the Netherworld River Mountainous Region. From the depths of it, screeching and screaming noises continued to ring out and surge forward. As the battle progressed, almost all the teams were surrounded by Netherworld Realm beings. However, no high-grade Netherworld Generals had appeared yet; only some ordinary ones had.

Death and injuries unavoidably started to happen. There were just so many Netherworld Realm beings with a sizable number of Netherworld Generals. That some people were affected by the Netherworld Aura that led to their battle strength dropping and being killed was quite normal.

On Jiang Yi’s team, no one had died yet, though some were injured. Jiang Yi’s body kept on flashing as he continuously sent out Xiaozhuan characters to cleanse his men’s Netherworld Aura and also assisted Zhang Danian and company in attacking the Netherworld Generals.

Swish!

From time to time, wisps of a light breeze swept over. Jiang Yi knew that Yun Bing, Commander Hu, and others were checking their army’s progress. As lives were at stake, Jiang Yi did not dare to conceal his strength anymore as he kept on sending out his Xiaozhuan characters to help in the battle. After all, not many knew about these Xiaozhuan characters; even if Yun Bing and company detected them, it wasn’t a big deal.

“He indeed has a few tricks up his sleeves.”

Far away, Yun Bing had checked Jiang Yi’s troop’s situation a few times as she acknowledged his battle prowess. Jiang Yi’s men had not been affected by the Netherworld Aura at all; their battle strength was at their peak and their extermination speed was one of the faster ones among the hundred-man teams. At present, no deaths had emerged as well. For a bunch of people that had just joined the Nine Yang Army, this was a miracle.

Of course, Yun Bing was very clear that without Jiang Yi, this team would have whittled away. They would probably have lost at least half their men by now.

“All are to retreat and regroup!”

Twenty hours later, Yun Bing’s voice rang out as her army speedily retreated. Jiang Yi did not hesitate at all. Although no one on his team had died, around half of them were already injured. If they continued the battle bitterly, someone was bound to die sooner or later.

The army hurriedly retreated out of the mountainous region as Yun Bing’s thirty-six bodyguards flew over and formed the rear guard, allowing the army to disengage and leave.

Tens of kilometers away from the mountainous region, the army regrouped. Jiang Yi was shocked by what he found out. In a mere twenty hours, more than five hundred men out of the ten-thousand-strong army had perished. The number of injured was also quite high; all around him were wounded soldiers.

“Eh?”

Not a single person under Jiang Yi’s command had died, attracting the attention of countless Senior Captains. Jiang Yi ignored them as he ordered his men to regroup and treat their own wounds as he also sat cross-legged to rest.

Four hours later, the army returned to the battlefield and continued the bloodshed. After yet another twenty hours, Yun Bing once again ordered the army to regroup and retreat. Every time they started to fight, Yun Bing would bring men to patrol the vicinity. Once they encountered high-grade Netherworld Generals, she would attack personally. This way, she managed to keep the number of dead low.

Although Jiang Yi had not personally witnessed Yun Bing in action killing a high-grade Netherworld General, he had withstood one of Yun Bing’s moves before and knew how formidable this lass was. With thirty-six bodyguards and two King-Ranked Senior Commanders with her, it was definitely not hard for her to deal with a high-grade Netherworld General.

This rotation continued as the army fought for twenty hours and rested for four. During the rest phase of the fourth rotation, Jiang Yi’s troop still had not had a single death. Yun Bing and company all felt that this was rather unbelievable.

During the fifth attack rotation, Yun Bing subtly checked in on Jiang Yi and his men and finally found the reason why there had not been any deaths. Once someone was severely wounded and on the brink of death, Jiang Yi would keep that person within his spatial divine item. A second later, that person would be let out once again; his injuries would have been fully healed.

“This lad seems to have many treasures; to be able to heal so speedily, this treasure of his is extremely rare even in the Heaven Domain. Could it be a cardinal treasure from the Demon-Killing Palace?”

Yun Bing did not actually think of snatching Jiang Yi’s treasures but was just curious. After all, Jiang Yi came from the Earth Domain and had ascended to the Earth Domain from the Mortal Domain. To possess so many treasures within one year was unheard of.

Bang!

While she was deep in thought, a flashing white light beamed to the left as a signal flare shot into the sky and exploded, lighting up half the sky. Following that, a commander roared, “A Ghost-Eyed Beast King? Everyone, retreat!”

“Retreat, all commanders follow me into battle!”

Yun Bing’s voice rang out as there was instant chaos as her army retreated fearfully at their fastest speed. Zhang Danian and company also hurriedly retreated as Jiang Yi asked bewilderedly, “Zhang Danian, is this Ghost-Eyed Beast King a Netherworld King? Why is everyone so afraid?”

“It’s not a Netherworld King. However… it is very terrifying. My Lord, let’s retreat quickly. Even ordinary Titled Battle Gods would die if they encountered it.”

Zhang Danian sent a voice transmission as Jiang Yi followed along and retreated without asking any more questions. However, a crisp and cold voice transmission suddenly rang out in his mind and made him pause: “Jiang Yi, come over and help us to dispel the Netherworld Aura. If not, all these commanders would die.”

“Damn…”

Jiang Yi did not want to bother with the situation. However, since Yun Bing had given the order—unless he didn’t want to remain in the Nine Yang Army anymore, how could he go against a military command? He shouted, “Zhang Danian, I’ll head over and take a look. When I am not around, you will be in charge.”

Swish!

Jiang Yi flew towards the left as Zhang Danian and company stared at his back with awe on their faces.

They didn’t know that Jiang Yi had received orders and thought that he was heading over to help proactively. They looked at Jiang Yi’s back and suddenly felt as if he was very tall and mighty.
