Chapter 877: Encountering Bandits
<em>Less nonsense. If you dont fly you, I will ask them to host a funeral for you now!</em>
Jiang Yi transmitted a message with a cold voice and exined: <em>You just have to fly slowly. You will fly in whichever direction I ask you to fly, dont worry! If you cannot endure it, I will let youe down immediately.</em>
Song Zhong had an agonized expression, but when he remembered that Jiang Yi had a irvoyant ability, he gritted his teeth and slowly flew up into the sky. However, his speed was even slower than a rabbit.
Big Brother Song, what are you doing?
Big Brother, have you gone mad? Hurry up and get down, you will die!
The rest of the guards were frightened by Song Zhong, but he forced a smile and said, What are you screaming for? This is Lord Xues orders, all of you shut up!
Lord Xue?
All the guards shut up. Everyone knew of Jiang Yis current name which was Xue Yi, and they had no choice but to see Song Zhong slowly rising up into the sky.
Three meters, six meters ten meters!
Song Zhongs expression turned grave as his speed got even slower. When he was at the height of 10 meters, Jiang Yi became highly concentrated and sensed the radius of 300 meters around Song Zhongs body, making sure nothing would happen to him.
Hoo-Hoo!
Three of the thin strands were alerted by Song Zhong, and they flew over light as a feather. Jiang Yi didnt ask Song Zhong to evade as he believed that Song Zhongs divine shield was definitely tough enough to endure it.
Buzz!
True enough!
When the three thin strands slid across Song Zhongs divine shield, it lit up with a blinding radiance. The divine shield shook and dimmed a little, but it didnt get ruptured.
Buzz!
Song Zhong was so frightened that his face was ghastly pale as he quickly poured in his essence force to make the defense of the divine shield to the greatest. He didnt dare to continue flying up as he couldnt feel anything when he was attacked earlier. If he was to continue flying up, he was afraid he might end up like those demonic beasts and get turned into a blood mist, without leaving any scraps.
<em>Fly up for another 10 meters!</em>
Jiang Yis indifferent voice transmitted over, and Song Zhong had a wailing expression as though his birth father had just passed away. He paused for a moment and gritted his teeth to fly up as he didnt dare to defy Jiang Yi.
Buzz!
His divine shield shook and flourished with brilliance. This time, Song Zhongs soul spirit nearly vanished from fright as his divine shield had ruptured. However, it was fortunate that the astral winds had been dispersed by the divine shield, and it didnt attack his body.
<em>Lord Xue, please spare me</em>
He quickly activated his divine shield again and immediately transmitted Jiang Yi a message. Jiang Yi opened his eyes and responded. You coward. Enough, get your ass down. Continue to rest and stay on guard.
Song Zhong flew down with his fastest speed and felt as though a huge burden was lifted. Jiang Yi had a little more understanding of the astral winds. Three thin strands werent enough to destroy Song Zhongs divine shield, but five strands could. Song Zhong was at the middle-stage of Heaven Monarch, and if he had continued flying up for another 10 meters, he would definitely die.
What horror!
Jiang Yi looked at the distant sky through the cloth window on the tentage and was filled with terror. His divine shield was very weak, and even though his Thunder Fire Divine Shield was still passable, would he dare to release it for no reason? Thus, with his current strength, if he dared to fly 10 meters into the sky, he was definitely going to die.
The astral winds were colorless and invisible. Regr martial artists would never be able to sense it with their divine senses. Unless their soul spirit was three folds stronger than Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi entered the Union of Heaven and Man state, he could detect them. Then again, even if he could sense them, was he able to dodge them? The astral winds were simply too fast, and they would be alerted as soon as someone rushed into the sky. He wouldnt even have time to use the Heaven Evasion.
I must never fly into the sky during nighttime!
Jiang Yi warned himself and didnt continue to examine. He closed his eyes and cultivated. He might not be able to reveal the Thearch Pce now, and he wasnt at the Gods Bestow City either. His cultivation speed was only ten folds faster, but having an additional trace of strength was still a good thing.
At the same time, he was alsoprehending the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno. This sorcery art had made quite a progress during these few years, and Jiang Yi could already condense the Nine Heavens Dragon mes. If he was to make more progress, he should be able to condense the Sky mes. There was only 50% of the Thunder Fire left inside his Fire Spirit Pearl. If he was to deplete the Thunder Fire due to frequent battles in the future, he wouldnt have any more powerful mes, and his defensive ability would suffer a huge decline.
Jiang Yi hadprehended the Antmans route map, and it could be fused with the Thunder Fire and the wind attribute dao pattern to create the Thunder Fire Divine Shield. He could also use the other mes to make the ming divine shields, but the defense ability would be iparable as the Thunder Fire was the strongest mes that he had right now.
The night passed by in an instant.
During daybreak, everyone quickly ate some rations and departed immediately. During dawn, Jiang Yi had scouted again and noticed a strange phenomenon. As soon as the sun rose from the east, the astral winds in the sky had automatically vanished without a trace. It didnt even appear 30 kilometers in the high altitudes.
Tantai Shi had changed into a white dress with a white veil while her eyes didnt dare to look at Jiang Yi. When Jiang Yi nced at her, she would reveal a trace of bashfulness while Jiang Yi was scoffing in his heart. He was rather disgusted by this womans petty tricks.
The war chariots continued to fly while Jiang Yi scouted along the way, making the journey extremely safe. There were indeed much too many bandits on the East Imperial Continent as there was a bandit base every 10,000 miles, and many of them were hidden very well. If Jiang Yi didnt enter the Union of Heaven and Man while releasing his Divine Perception, he wouldnt have been able to detect them.
Every bandit base would have an illusion zone, and every illusion zone would have restriction ripples. Jiang Yi was able to detect them using the restriction ripples.
Jiang Yi had also frequently detected bandit scouts along the way. With the Divine Perception, it was as though Jiang Yi had the all-seeing eyes as all the scouts couldnt escape his detection. Every time Jiang Yi noticed a scout, he would get Song Zhong and his men to go kill them. Scouts were generally weak. Otherwise, they wouldnt be appointed as scouts as they might perish at any moment.
After traveling peacefully for an entire morningwhen it was noontime, Jiang Yi suddenly burst out with a yell, Get down and immediately find a ce to hide!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Song Zhong and others didnt know what happened, but their execution was immediate as the two guards flew the war chariots down immediately and rushed into a small canyon. They kept the war chariot and hid inside the canyon while scouting with their divine senses.
Jiang Yi hid along with everyone, and when he saw everyone scouting with their divine senses, he gave an order with a grave expression: No one is to release their divine senses! Everyone, hold your breaths and withdraw your aura presence. No one is to let out a sound. Tantai Shi, knock the two children out.
Thud! Thud!
The maidservants didnt dare to make a move, but Tantai Shi was very resolute as she used her hand de to knock on the back the childrens head, causing them to pass out. Song Zhong and everyone understood that something big had happened as they instantly withdrew their divine senses andid on the ground as they held their breaths.
Jiang Yi didnt extend out his divine senses either. His eyes flickered as he looked at Xiao Tian and Xiao Yu. He thought to himself if something really happened, he would put the two children into the Thearch Pce; and he would immediately escape without bothering about the others.
Swish! Swish!
Fifteen minutester, there was a sky-piercing sound that echoed from the east, which was immediately followed by powerful aura presences. Explosion sounds could even be faintly heard from a distance, along with the enraged roars of martial artists and blood-curdling screeches.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The explosions sound got more frequent while the mountain range was also constantly trembling. Song Zhong and everyone took a peak which caused their expressions to change greatly.
Two legions were having a battle in the sky. Wrong it should be one of the legions chasing and killing another legion. Both sides had over 10,000 individuals, and a casual sense of the aura presences would let anyone know there were at least a hundred peak-stage Heaven Monarchs on each side. There were thousands of Heaven Monarchs.
I pray for Mystic Thearch to bless us!
Tantai Shi crouched on the ground and used a dagger to press on her neck. It was obvious that both sides were bandit legions, and it didnt matter which side she fell into, she would still be turned into a tool for the bandits to vent their stress. If that were to happen, she might as well die.
