“Kill!”
Gu Shanhe felt the chilly winter-rain-like killing aura, and his expression turned grave. He finally understood how Jiang Yi was able to kill the assassins from Death God, Mentor Xiao, and the other mentors. He heard rumors of Jiang Yi making contact with the restriction on the Heaven Monarch of Massacre’s Divine Monument. Right now, he instantly understood everything clearly.
But he didn’t think that Jiang Yi could do anything to him, because he brought over three hundred elites from the Western Garrison Army, and there were four Iron Blood Guard commanders that were at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!
He swung his sword and roared, “Kill!”
“Kill!”
Three hundred over soldiers from the Western Garrison Army roared in unison and rushed towards Jiang Yi and Su Ruoxue. Which of these elites in the army didn’t take any lives? Every one of them was bursting with killing aura. When a few hundreds of killing auras combined, it immediately suppressed Jiang Yi’s killing aura.
“Come on! If you want to kill me, you better be prepared to die!”
Jiang Yi roared towards the sky as his black hair danced violently. His eyes glowed with a red light again; an even more frightening killing aura burst forth from his body, instantly causing the surrounding air to go still. The entire atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme. Many of the weaker soldiers were trembling; their knees went soft and were unable to take another step.
“Such a fearsome killing aura!”
The four commanders, who were at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm, looked around and saw that most of their men had fearful expressions. The rest of the Purple Mansion Realm captains, who were at the seventh or eighth stage, were flicking their eyes constantly. It was obvious that they were affected by this killing aura and couldn’t help but feel fear in their hearts.
The four of them didn’t really hesitate. They circulated all their essence force and flourished their imposing presence while rushing at Jiang Yi. In their eyes, no matter how insane Jiang Yi was, he still wouldn’t be a match for them. As for Su Ruoxue... they ignored her completely.
“Eh?”
Once the four of them moved, they instantly felt something was wrong, causing this change in their expressions. They realized that their speed had decreased by more than two folds, and their essence force circulation speed was now much slower, too. Their combat strength had been imperceptibly halved by Jiang Yi’s killing aura!
“Buzz!”
Right at this moment, the purple light in Su Ruoxue’s eyes suddenly brightened up as two rays of purple light burst forth. With a flash, it shot right into the commander’s head who was the nearest to Jiang Yi. That commander rolled his eyes and abruptly fell to the ground, unknown of whether he was dead or alive.
“En?”
The eyes of the three surviving commanders contracted. When they first saw the purple light in Su Ruoxue’s eyes, they couldn’t feel any threat or danger, which was why they didn’t bother. But now, it actually had such power?
With their strength suppressed by Jiang Yi’s killing aura, they couldn’t count on the rest of the Iron Blood Guards. If Su Ruoxue was able to kill the three of them with ease, what was left of this battle? Jiang Yi and Su Ruoxue could easily exterminate all of them.
“Don’t be afraid. There is a limit to how many times she can use the secret art.”
When one of the commanders saw Su Ruoxue’s body sway and look pale as snow, he instantly flashed towards Su Ruoxue with an ominous glint. The other two looked at each other in the eye; one of them followed up and rushed at Su Ruoxue as well while the other went towards Jiang Yi.
“Die, die!”
Jiang Yi was originally going to kill that commander, but Su Ruoxue’s secret art instantly killed that commander. With his initial target lost, he could only continue pressing forward and rushing into the enemy formation, brandishing his Green Destiny Sword.
“Ah—!”
A tragedy happened. Most of the soldiers in this Western Garrison Army weren’t strong, but they were all veterans that fought with their life on the line. They possessed a tactic that was meant to fight enemies in a group. When they worked together, their overall combat strength was rather formidable.
But right now... they were all being suppressed by the Massacre Intent, and most of them couldn’t even move. How could they even link up to fight the enemy?
The only ones who could exchange a few blows with Jiang Yi were the captain-class martial artists. A pity that their strengths were overly suppressed—so much that their speed, power, and reaction ability were so far off from their original strength. Jiang Yi didn’t even suffer any effect, and he was currently in a berserk and fearless state. The only thing he cared about now was how to kill all the enemies in the fastest possible way.
As the sword danced, blood drifted, limbs flew across, and heads rolled!
Right now, Jiang Yi had suffered countless slashes, but his surroundings were filled with 40 or 50 corpses! His speed of killing was no different from the harvest of rice straws.
“Die!”
When the commander finally caught up, his generic cavalry saber was brought up high like a shooting star and cleaved downwards at Jiang Yi’s back. Jiang Yi didn’t seem to even sense the attack as he rushed forward violently, taking more lives from the Western Garrison Army.
“Swish!”
Two rays of purple light flashed across like lightning in the middle of the night. Before the commander realized it, the purple light already entered his mind. Just as the commander fell onto the ground, Su Ruoxue was attacked by a heavy force and got sent flying. Her mouth expelled a mouthful of fresh blood along with a miserable scream!
Su Ruoxue’s strength wasn’t strong enough, and she barely evaded the attacks by the two commanders who were at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm. If these two commanders weren’t on-guard against her Purple Charm Divine Light, she would have already been severely injured. Now that she released her secret art to save Jiang Yi, they naturally didn’t hold back anymore and viciously sent her flying.
“Swish!”
After blasting Su Ruoxue away, one of the commanders didn’t stop there. He took a few steps before kicking Su Ruoxue up into mid-air, who had yet to even crash to the ground. He then ruthlessly cleaved at her back.
“Crack!”
A clear and crisp sound of bones breaking echoed. Su Ruoxue’s exquisite and delicate face wrenched in pain. As her body crashed onto the ground, her lumbar bones were completely crushed, and she wasn’t able to move at all.
“En?”
Jiang Yi, who was in a berserk and unconscious state, suddenly trembled. His blood-red eyes abruptly turned back to look. When he saw Su Ruoxue’s weak body involuntarily twitching and the gushing blood from her mouth, his heart felt an unexpected ache.
It was an unexplainable emotion, an instinctive heartache—a pain that came from deep within the soul.
“Ah—!”
He let out a frenzied roar towards the sky while his hair and robes moved even without the wind. His whole body was drenched in blood, and he was horrifying like a devil from hell. His killing aura grew stronger again, and he rushed towards the two commanders besides Su Ruoxue like a savage beast.
At this instant, he seemed to regain some consciousness and gained some slight control over the Massacre Intent. There was a black glow that flashed quietly and hidden within his sleeve. He acted as though he was still in a berserk state as he crashed his body towards them.
“Die!”
The two commanders didn’t find anything odd about Jiang Yi and didn’t suspect any trickery. Gu Shanhe already mentioned that no one was to kill Su Ruoxue; thus, they didn’t kill her. But as for Jiang Yi...
“Swish!”
Two figures shot towards Jiang Yi. Their speed was restrained, but they were still faster than Jiang Yi. Brilliant rays were shining everywhere as their essence force revolved around their cavalry saber. It was as though two death god scythes slashed on both left and right sides of Jiang Yi.
“Die!”
The Green Destiny Sword was suddenly shot out from Jiang Yi’s hand, using the third stance of the Overflow Rain Sword, Autumn Intent Desolation Release. His other hand was lifted up with lightning speed as a black glow flashed—right after the Green Destiny Sword was shot towards one of the commanders. The God-Exterminating Crossbow was triggered!
“Bang!”
When the commander saw the Green Destiny Sword being shot at him, he instinctively wanted to shift his cavalry saber to block it. But he forgot something: his speed was now half of what he originally had. He didn’t have enough time to shift his cavalry saber and the Green Destiny Sword would penetrate his body. When he realized it, he panicked and dodged to the side, only to notice a black flash. The crossbow bolt of the God-Exterminating Crossbow was approaching him.
Jiang Yi seemed to have predicted where the commander would dodge to. The crossbow bolt shot right into the target’s neck and caused instant death to the commander.
“Die—!”
The only surviving commander was shocked. But he was worthy of being a veteran who survive battles. His saber didn’t have any signs of slowing down as it cleaved at Jiang Yi’s head.
