Chapter 125 - Overly Flashy Entrance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Wuji, what do you think they are fighting for?”
Jiang Yiliu was indeed in mid-air right now. He had just arrived at the vicinity; because the scout couldn’t offer any accurate information, he anxiously brought out the Ancient Divine War Chariot and flew into the sky with Zhangsun Wuji. But this war chariot didn’t have any pterippi pulling at the front, and it looked rather awkward. The Ancient Divine Essence Ring couldn’t contain any living things. What’s more, those two pterippi of Jiang Yiliu was purely to portray his prowess; thus, he left them within the college before coming here.
The two of them didn’t bring any guards along, but the members of their clan didn’t have any worry at all. Firstly, there wouldn’t be any Soul Travel Realm expert here. Secondly, the two of them were seated inside the Ancient Divine War Chariot, and no one could bring any harm to them.
Zhangsun Wuji looked below with flickering eyes as he saw the intense massacre that was still in progress. His brows furrowed while he shook his head. “I don’t know what they are fighting for either. Let’s grab two of them to ask.”
“Okay!”
Jiang Yiliu made a hand gesture to the direction below him. Soon enough, several soldiers from the Western Garrison Army emerged from their concealment and easily fought their way into the chaos. They successfully caught a few people and retreated.
The answer was quickly obtained, but the two of them were still in doubt. The information was that a few fire-spewing treasures dropped from the sky, but after such a long battle and with 300 or 400 casualties, no one claimed to see the absolute treasure yet.
The two of them felt it was weird and began to circle around the vicinity with the Ancient Divine War Chariot. They were taking their time to take a detailed look at the situation below, but everyone ignored the two of them while they were still buried in the intense killings. After all, a simple distraction in a chaotic melee would be mean an opening for a slash or cleave!
Goddammit!
Jiang Yiliu was leisurely circling the area, but Jiang Yi was extremely frustrated. He was holding himself with both his hands and using his legs to clamp on the jade boat. After hanging there for such a long time, no one noticed him?
After waiting for a while more, Jiang Yi was getting annoyed. He suddenly circulated his essence force and imitated a roar from a wild beast: “Wuu-Wuu—!”
“Swish! Swish! Swish!”
The roars from Jiang Yi were rather effective. It shocked a whole batch of people, and countless people instinctively turned their heads towards the source of the roars. They finally noticed a tiny black dot in the skies!
“Wow!”
As the golden pagoda had the ability to go invisible, no one could see it. Right now, they could only see a black dot in the middle of the sky. This black spot was at the bottom of the revealed pagoda, and it was releasing a weird shout? Could it be the indication of an absolute treasure appearing?
“En?”
Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji were shocked. They both looked towards the sky, and their eyes brightened up. Jiang Yiliu didn’t have any hesitation as he steered his Ancient Divine War Chariot in a straight towards the black spot.
“Here we go…”
Seeing the Ancient Divine War Chariot shooting towards him in a straight line, Jiang Yi’s heart nearly jumped out. Whether could he successfully escape and survive or not, it was all up to this moment.
“Swish!”
The war chariot shot upwards with top speed. Jiang Yiliu’s and Zhangsun Wuji’s eyes grew brighter. They could see a hazy image of a treasure that looked like a jade boat. If this treasure could stay afloat in mid-air, then it must be a valuable treasure!
“Something isn’t right!”
Suddenly, Zhangsun Wuji shouted. His overall strength was higher than Jiang Yiliu, and his vision was sharper, too. He could indistinctly see a pair of legs clamping onto the jade boat.
“Right now!”
Jiang Yi withdrew his legs with lightning speed. He headed back into the hole and was concealed by the formless restriction of the pagoda. The jade boat descended swiftly and naturally drew Zhangsun Wuji and Jiang Yiliu’s attention.
“Heaven Monarch of Ten-Thousand Dragons. I beg for you to give me your blessings!”
Jiang Yi’s vision was much superior as compared to Zhangsun Wuji’s vision, and he was sure that they didn’t spot him. Even though the war chariot was still several hundreds of feet from him, he didn’t bother as he jumped off resolutely and flew towards the Ancient Divine War Chariot.
Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji—who were beneath Jiang Yi—got completely attracted by the jade boat and didn’t notice that there was someone flying over from above. But this was the brilliance of Jiang Yi: he didn’t expose a hint of killing aura; neither did he circulate any essence force as he dropped in a straight line. Or else, he would definitely catch the attention of these two.
“Let’s catch up and take a look?”
Jiang Yiliu shouted as he prepared to steer his war chariot towards the falling jade boat. This jade boat appeared in a bizarre manner, and they naturally wanted to know what kind of treasure, was it?
“Wow!”
There was huge uproar at the surface. Everyone, who was originally locked in an intense battle, paused to stare blankly into the sky. Because… not only did a treasure drop from the sky, but a human was falling, too!
“Chirp-Chirp!””Koo-Koo!”
Everyone from the Zhangsun and the Jiang Clan was shocked. Many of them sent out the signal once they saw a figure falling rapidly towards the Ancient Divine War Chariot. Those two young masters were blue-blooded nobilities—nothing bad was allowed to happen to them.
“Eh?”
At the same time, when Gu Shanhe and his men arrived at the nearby vicinity, a few of the Spirit Bugs in the jade box of a soldier suddenly flew towards the sky. He immediately turned pale with fright and exclaimed, “Sir Gu, the Spirit Bugs detected traces of the Orange Jessamine. Jiang Yi is not dead yet!”
“What?” The expression of Gu Shanhe and Commander Liu changed. They fearfully looked towards the direction where the scout was looking at.
“Huh…”
There were two soldiers of the Western Garrison Army who were carrying a stretcher. On it was an absolute beauty with her eyes closed, but she had now opened them. She looked at the falling black shadow, and her icy snow face suddenly bloomed with a magnificent smile. It was so beautiful that the soldiers by her side were enchanted.
She narrowed her eyes and let out a faint smile, muttering to herself with a voice that only she could hear, “Jiang Yi, you are still alive? Seems like my premonition was correct. But isn’t your entrance overly flashy?”
…
“What is that?”
Before Jiang Yiliu steered the war chariot, he received a signal from below. Both their expressions turned dark as they swiftly turned to look upwards, only to see a black shadow falling. Zhangsun Wuji frowned and immediately shouted, “It’s a man. En… it’s Jiang Yi? Why isn’t he dead?”
“Swish!”
The Ancient Divine Essence Ring flashed in the hand of Jiang Yiliu. He retrieved a silver and elegant longsword and swept his eyes onto the approaching figure. He released a formidable killing aura and sneered, “If he isn’t dead yet, he is now!”
Zhangsun Wuji had an Ancient Divine Essence Ring, too. A black long spear suddenly appeared in his hands and had essence force revolving on it. He had this grave expression as he released his killing aura.
The two of them had been confused by the series of sudden events and forgot about something. If… they were to just steer the Ancient Divine War Chariot away, Jiang Yi would have fallen to his death without a need for them to make a move.
“The heaven has finally grown a pair of eyes!”
Jiang Yi noticed that they didn’t steer the war chariot on the first notice but—silly enough—decided to wait for him to fall onto it instead. His heart was bursting with joy and almost wanted to kowtow a few hundred times to the heavens.
He was currently falling faster and faster; if this Ancient Divine War Chariot was not there to stop his fall, he would definitely fall into the ground and be half-paralyzed! But now, it was entirely different; he had the utmost confidence that he could successfully land on the ground.
As for… Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji, who were both revolving their essence force and preparing their killer moves to eliminate him, Jiang Yi didn’t give any regards for them.
He had ample amount of black essence force, and their combined combat strength would at best be at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, right? A peak-stage Purple Mansion Realm martial artist might be a nightmare to him before, but there was no fear in him now.
“Swish!”
As Jiang Yi swiftly approached, Jiang Yiliu and Zhangsun Wuji both executed their moves at the same time. Both of their weapons, which had essence force revolving, suddenly thrust up into the sky. Zhangsun Wuji’s attack was the most fearsome: his long spear was twisting like a black dragon in mid-air. There was no way to predict which his point of attack was, and it was obviously a higher-tiered martial skill.
“Die!”
Jiang Yiliu’s dashing face was filled with malevolence. His longsword transformed into dozens of sword flower while his other hand took out a red-colored mechanized crossbow. The crossbow was radiating with red light, and a crossbow bolt shot out like a shooting star towards Jiang Yi.
From his point of view, it was very strange to see Jiang Yi suddenly falling from the sky. But he had no place to borrow any strength and was in no place to dodge any attacks. Jiang Yi could only watch the attacks kill himself!
