There was indeed a chaotic battle on the surface, and it was between two legions.

One of the legions had around 400 men while the other had around 700 men. Even so, it wasn’t a one-sided battle; the legion with the smaller headcount was actually having the advantage.

The surroundings were a zone of stone forest, and there were boulders everywhere. When Jiang Yi took out the medal to sense the area, no one on the surface noticed him. Who would have the time to go check the vicinity when they were locked in such an intense battle?

Jiang Yi didn’t dare to exit from the tunnel’s entrance; the closer he got to the surface, the rumblings got louder. It was obvious that the battle was happening right above him, and if he was to exit from there, he would be immediately surrounded.

Jiang Yi used the Black Scale Sword to dig a fresh tunnel, sneaking over, and finally exiting from a pile of stone while observing quietly.

What is this?!

Jiang Yi took a single glance and gasped. The battle was actually between the legions from the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s martial artists and the barbarians from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Those barbarians were lifting 500-kilogram giant boulders and throwing them recklessly, causing the loud rumblings. Jiang Yi even saw a familiar face within the barbarian legion, the barbarian prince, Ah Ni.

Most of the barbarians were in a berserk state and were thrashing giant boulders in a frenzy. There were some who behaved like giant beasts, rampaging straight ahead while brandishing their fists violently. The surrounding martial artists from the Saint Spirit Kingdom would constantly evade their enemies and circle around them, using their weapons and martial skills to attack from time to time.

However… when the barbarian clan members were in a berserk state, their defenses were especially tough. Each attack would only leave some superficial scars on the surface of their bodies—let alone killing them or even dealing a severe injury to them. On the contrary, if the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s warriors got crush by any of the giant boulders or raging fists, they would either turn into mince or suffer grievous injuries.

The reason why Jiang Yi was able to identify the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s legion was because of their colorful hair while the rest of the kingdoms had black hair. The legion of the Saint Spirit Kingdom had people who mostly had brown hair, but there were gold, blue, and red hair, too—which made them easy to identify.

It was a bitter battle. The Saint Spirit Kingdom had more Soul Travel Realm experts while the barbarian clan had formidable defenses but slow speed. Every time those Soul Travel Realm experts from the Saint Spirit Kingdom released their essence force, the barbarian warriors would suffer severe injuries or casualties. Of course, the barbarian clan had six or seven Soul Travel Realm experts who would rush into the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s legion, turning anyone who they made contact with into a bloody mess.

The battle had just barely started, but the total casualties were around 400 men. Those martial artists that would pass by incidentally naturally left quickly after sensing so many people in a chaotic battle, leaving Jiang Yi who was still hiding in the vicinity.

“Kill!”

When those Soul Travel Realm experts on the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s side saw those barbarian Soul Travel Realm experts killing their legion without any restraints, they finally couldn’t stand it anymore. If this was to carry on, they might be able to kill all those lower ranked barbarian warriors; but they would also be left with just a few men. The nine of them drew their weapons and charged towards those six barbarian Soul Travel Realm experts.

“Howl!”

Without the suppression from the Soul Travel Realm experts, Ah Ni led the lower-ranked barbarians and charged into the enemy legion to start close combat. Both sides were immersed in the killing so much that the option of retreat didn’t exist; this battle would only stop after either side of the legion had completely collapsed.

An even more desperate battle began, but Jiang Yi had been observing and not moving from his location. He might not be familiar with the barbarian clan’s prince, Ah Ni, but they were still from the college and had the relationship as fellow cadets; hence, he naturally wouldn’t be doing a sneak attack on the barbarians. He wouldn’t be so silly to rush out and help Ah Ni’s side since their relationship wasn’t at that level yet. With over a dozen Soul Travel Realm experts around, Jiang Yi didn’t dare to recklessly interfere, too. If he was to rush in and get surrounded, he would have to claim death immediately.

“You bunch of barbarians! All of you shall die for this Young Master!”

One of the blue-haired young masters in the Saint Spirit Kingdom suddenly shouted. A ring in his hand glowed, and a circular-shaped blade suddenly appeared. A frightening aura was emitted from the blade when he tossed it forward vigorously. The curved blade drew across like a grim reaper’s scythe, splitting five barbarian warriors from their waist. The blade then made a turn at the front before returning.

“Pfff!”

The young master with the blue hair vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, but his eyes were filled with ferocity. With every throw of the shockingly powerful blade, he would be able to kill four or five barbarian warriors.

Heaven artifact!

Jiang Yi’s brows raised. The barbarians had abnormal defenses, and regular artifacts would only leave a graze on them. He once exchanged blows with Ah Ni and had experienced it in combat, which meant to say that this razor-sharp curved blade was definitely a heaven artifact. Every time the young master with blue hair tossed out the curved blade, he would have to vomit a mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he had yet to completely refine this heaven artifact, which was why he suffered backlashes.

“Young Clan Head! Lend me the Moon Devil Blade!”

One of the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s Soul Travel Realm experts roared out. There was a flash of doubt in the blue-haired young master’s eyes, but he still threw that curved blade over to him.

“Swish!”

The Soul Travel Realm expert grabbed that blade on the handle and suddenly dived into the legion of the barbarians, brandishing the Moon Devil Blade to thrust and slash in all directions. Everywhere his body went past, there would be severed limbs. He might not have refined the Moon Devil Blade, but this heaven artifact was too sharp. Coupled with the Soul Travel Realm expert’s strength, it was natural that it could sever the limbs of these barbarians.

The barbarian clan is in danger. If this goes on, they would be completely wiped out.

Jiang Yi concealed himself in the underground cave and didn’t have any intention of rescuing them; neither did he have that ability. If he was to recklessly make a move before the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s Soul Travel Realm expert was dead, he would only be buried along with the barbarian clan.

“Howl!”

Right at this moment, one of the Soul Travel Realm barbarians yelled out, snapping out the berserk state from all the lower-ranked barbarian warriors before they swiftly retreated. Only one of the Soul Travel Realm barbarians retreated to protect Ah Ni; the rest of them continued with their frenzied assault to cut off the enemies.

“Chase! Don’t let even one of them escape!”

The blue-haired youth roared out furiously, and the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s legion followed his command for immediate pursuit. The Soul Travel Realm experts went to clash with barbarian experts, not allowing them to escape.

“Ah, wu-wu—!”

Jiang Yi heard a few weird roars and took another curious look, which led him to witness a horrifying scene. When those five Soul Travel Realm barbarians that stayed behind saw that the Saint Spirit Kingdom was going to pursue them, their bodies had a flash of yellow light. Their bodies had these yellow blazing flames which were ignited from within, and they started to rush at the opposing Soul Travel Realm experts in a frenzied state.

“Retreat! Flee quickly!”

“Young Clan Head, run! The barbarians have gone mad. They are using their barbarian art to burn their Purple Mansion and self-destruct!”

The nine Soul Travel Realm experts from the Saint Spirit Kingdom were scared witless; they yelled out as they frantically retreated. Before they could get far enough, the five massive bodies suddenly exploded, just like five suns exploding. The glare was so blinding that Jiang Yi couldn’t open his eyes. Five horrific auras traveled outwards, making Jiang Yi’s soul tremble even when he was 300 meters away.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Five giant explosions echoed while the surface of the ground shook. Jiang Yi had just gone back into the underground, only to be buried by the mud and rocks from the tunnel which collapsed from the tremors.

A martial artist can actually self-destruct? Could it be the special powers of the barbarian clan? I have to be careful when I meet these barbarians in the future!

Jiang Yi’s ears were still ringing from the explosion, and his mind was appalled. He knew that the Soul Travel Realm experts from the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s side were definitely done for! With such a horrific explosion—even if they weren’t dead, they would be severely injured. Without the pursuit from the Soul Travel Realm experts, Ah Ni and the others were able to escape with ease.

Finished? Finished!

Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly widened, and he had this ecstatic expression when he thought of all the Soul Travel Realm experts who were done for. Was there anyone who could still threaten him from the Saint Spirit Kingdom’s legion? Even if there was, he still had to take the risk. There were at least a thousand medals on the surface.

“I’ll just do it!”

Jiang Yi muttered to himself for a moment. When he sensed that Ah Ni and the rest had fled several kilometers away, he suddenly burst out from the underground.
