Yun He was indeed suspicious. It had been more than one hour… even if no one come back out to report on the victory, someone would have came out to report about the situation, right?
The scout passed over a message, reporting that none of the other three legions that entered the forest had exited yet. He muttered to himself and gestured with his hand while giving his orders,
Send another five men in to scout the situation. Report back as soon as they get any information!
Five scouts swiftly rushed towards the forest and entered the yellow-colored woods. Thirty minutes later, none of the five scouts came back out. This forest was just like a scarlet-red mouth of a giant beast, consuming everyone that entered.
Using the Green Noxious Bugs, Yun He affirmed that Jiang Yi was still within—still alive. He had this grave expression as he looked at this patch of wicked forest ahead, which sent a chill into his heart. He had a vague feeling if he was to enter the forest, he would ultimately never return as well.
This is illogical! No matter how abnormal Jiang Yi’s strength is, he shouldn’t be able to dominate the Soul Travel Realm, right? If he had such strength, he would already go all over the whole world, chasing after Shui Qianrou. Furthermore, there must be something wrong with these woods. How could Jiang Yi kill so many of them in such a short period of time? Why didn’t anyone come back out to report about the situation?
Yun He’s sword-like brows knitted so tightly that the three frown lines appeared. He had this bad premonition that if he didn’t order everyone to join the assault, everyone inside would probably turn into corpses. This recruitment involved plenty of the clansmen from those great aristocratic clans; if they all ended up dead, he wouldn’t have any way to explain to their clans.
If he was to recklessly give the orders for an all-out attack before getting a clear grasp of the situation, it was necessary for him to enter along with the legions, too. This patch of woods was so strange; what if he was to enter and never return?
Yun He!
Shui Qianrou was feeling rather impatient as she pouted her small lips and said,
Why is there no news after such a long time? Are your men incompetent? Or is Jiang Yi actually not in there?
Yun He let out a bitter laugh and explained:
Jiang Yi is definitely inside; anyone that my Green Noxious Bugs tracked onto will never escape. These woods seem a bit wicked, which caused everyone who entered to never emerge.
Hurhur!
Shui Qianrou was even more dissatisfied. Her jade hands reached up to grab onto the swan-like silver necklace on her neck as she snorted,
This Young Lady doesn’t care whether if it is wicked or not. Would it be simpler if I leveled this woods into flat plains?
World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace!
Yun He’s eyes lit up. This item was a saint artifact; Shui Qianrou might not have fully refined it, but its prowess should be exceptional. No matter how strange these woods were—with the World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace out, it should be easily neutralized, right?
Qianrou, use the World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace to attack that huge tree in front!
It was better to be safe than sorry. Yun He insisted on not giving the orders for the all-out assault. After Shui Qianrou heard Yun He, she nodded as she paid no mind to it and released the World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace to attack casually.
Hu-Hu!
Once the World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace flew out, it swiftly enlarged while radiating with silver light and terrifying pressure. As the World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace rapidly drew across the sky, it crashed into a huge tree on the outskirts of the woods.
Boom!
When the World Extinguishing Silver Necklace and the yellow tree collided, two blinding glows were emitted at the same time while the surrounding air shook. The violent impact turned into ripples that undulated in all directions, which came along with a shocking explosion. The waist of the yellow giant tree was snapped as it collapsed on the ground.
Nothing could withstand the prowess of a saint artifact.
Okay!
When Yun He saw the returning World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace, his eyes had this flash of greed which was followed by hidden excitement. Shui Youlan, who was the no.1 combatant of this continent, wouldn’t just have one or two saint artifacts, right? If he was to marry Shui Qianrou, she would probably bestow him with a piece of saint artifact, right?
Even after using the World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace, the woods still looked very strange; the tree, which was wrecked by the saint artifact, actually didn’t turn into dust. However, as long as it could destroy the trees, Yun He didn’t have any more fear. He burst out shouting,
Someone, pass on my orders for everyone to enter the forest and kill Jiang Yi!
The three scouts scattered out to pass down the message while Yun He didn’t move. He had always bragged about being exceptionally smart and having matchless intelligence, but the smarter one was, the more fearful of death they would be. He naturally didn’t dare to charge in on the first notice; instead, he allowed the three legions to go and scout a path first. After waiting for a moment and making sure all the other three legions had entered, he waved his hand and roared,
Move out!
Go!
Shui Qianrou was already impatient from the wait. With a wave of her jade hand, the fifty Soul Travel Realm experts from the Water Moon Observatory surrounded her and rushed into the forest.
…
The Ghost Woods was now intoxicated with battle. The 30 Soul Travel Realm experts that had rushed in the underground naturally didn’t have a spectacular ending. Yun Fei controlled the tree roots and formed a prison to trap them inside while Jiang Yi released another piece of the Fire Spirit Rock to incinerate them effortlessly.
Jiang Yi wasn’t injured at all.
After so many blasts, there wasn’t a hint of damage to his body. He didn’t even feel any shockwave when he was wrapped. This Devil Sky Silk was obviously a special heaven artifact and contained some mystical restriction array, which would resist every essence force attack. Shui Youlan’s heaven artifact, which gave rise to her fame, didn’t disappoint Jiang Yi.
After eradicating the Soul Travel Realm experts in the underground tunnel, Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang began to move rapidly again. No one on the surface dared to stand still as they would constantly move while attempting to avoid Jiang Yi’s sneak attack.
Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang naturally wouldn’t let these people get away as the enemies from outside might charge in at any notice. Yun Fei mentioned that Yun He had a heaven artifact and also evil sorcery arts, and there wasn’t even a need to mention Shui Qianrou. They had to kill as many enemies as possible before the two of them came in.
Bang!
Jiang Yi would constantly burst out from the underground, and every time, his upper body would be wrapped with the Devil Sky Silk. Whenever he was out on the surface, he would ignore everyone’s attack and would swiftly release the Earth Fire at the fastest speed. After scorching a group of enemies, he would immediately dive back into the underground tunnel.
Zhan Wushuang coordinated his attacks very well, too. When Jiang Yi had garnered the enemies’ attention, he would burst out at the right timing from the other side. Every time, he appeared, he would forcefully tear a Soul Travel Realm expert apart.
The defensive ability of the Battle God Race’s Battle God Glory Light was too overwhelming; a mere third- or fourth-stage Soul Travel Realm expert couldn’t even do any damage to him. It was a pity that Zhan Wushuang’s cultivation level was too low and didn’t dare to expose himself all the enemies’ attack; once his special energy was exhausted, he would die, too.
Both of them killed the enemies at a very efficient rate, but of course, Jiang Yi’s killing speed was something even Zhan Wushuang couldn’t be compared with. He was killing the enemies one by one, but Jiang Yi was killing them by groups.
In just one hour—before the enemies on the outside had charged in, the current group was only left with a third; and there were only four or five Soul Travel Realm experts left. This was because Jiang Yi didn’t intentionally target them; otherwise, all the Soul Travel Realm experts would surely be dead.
This group of individuals had been killed so much that they were trembling in fear and had already lost their formation. They were originally running around in a group but realized that it was easier for Jiang Yi to utilize his strengths; hence, they began to run separately like frightened rabbits scattering in all directions. Many of them were hiding atop the trees while their bodies were shivering in a desperate situation.
It wasn’t because they hadn’t witnessed any killings; in fact, they were already mentally prepared for death when they entered. However, today’s situation was too bizarre while Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang’s killing methods were extremely ruthless, giving off the feeling that they were as horrific as devils from the netherworld.
Shh-shh-shh!
Just as everyone was about to fall into despair, the legions from the outside finally flocked in. Yun He and Shui Qianrou brought their men in, too. When they saw the woods littered with corpses and the hell-like scene, Yun He’s eyes were filled with rage. He locked his eyes on the surface in the distance and roared,
Qianrou, use the World Extinguishing Silver Necklace to smash the ground! Jiang Yi is underneath it!
