My Fury Will Burn The Heavens Chapter 240 - Helpless In This Situation

“Huh…”

Qian Kun was frightened stiff by Jiang Yi's statement as he nearly fell to the ground. He didn't know how to continue this conversation and could only smile embarra.s.sedly.

“Enough!”

Jiang Yi's expression turned serious as he instructed: “Give me a report on Xia Wuhui's whereabouts and a detailed map of the Great Xia Kingdom. Ten human skin masks and three ident.i.ty tablets. The Soul-Subduing Herb is still in the hands of Xia Wuhui, and I will not be able to obtain it unless I kill him. Just hand me the things I require, and I will leave immediately. Don't get yourself involved in this matter, and treat it as though I was never here.”

Qian Kun was Qian w.a.n.guan's subordinate; hence, Jiang Yi could be so rea.s.sured. If it was any other Qian clansmen, he might not even ask like this. After hanging around Qian w.a.n.guan for such a long time, he knew that the fatty was still going to be in his favor. Jiang Yi knew that even if he committed treason, Qian w.a.n.guan might not say it in public; but in his heart, he still treated Jiang Yi as a brother. Thus, he didn't have to worry when using his subordinate.

Qian Kun quickly went out while Jiang Yi channeled a wisp of black essence force into his ear, placing them on the walls to listen for all the voices and judge if an expert was going to attack.

Qian w.a.n.guan was trustworthy and so was Qian Kun, but he still had to be cautious.

The fact proved that Qian Kun was indeed still reliable; he used just a few moments to bring all the things resources over: a detailed map of the Great Xia Kingdom, ten exquisite human skin masks, and three ident.i.ty tablets.

Jiang Yi scanned the map and nodded in approval. This map was extremely detailed: the streets of every city had been indicated clearly, how many soldiers did each city had, how many experts there were… everything was stated very clearly. This was definitely the most detailed military map.

“Alright. Qian Kun, I will be leaving!”

Jiang Yi patted on Qian Kun's shoulder and turned to leave. Qian Kun paused for a moment before he clenched his teeth and said, “Young Master Yi, if you meet any problem, please come to the Dragon Origin Merchant Hall and look for me. I will not hesitate even if I have to risk my life.”

“En!”

Jiang Yi turned and nodded with a smile. Once he exited the Dragon Origin Merchant Hall, he immediately got out of the city and sat cross-legged at nearby woods while looking through the map and other resources that Qian Kun gave him.

After one hour, he had a complete grasp of the topography of the Great Xia Kingdom and had complete trust in Qian Kun. If Qian Kun wanted to frame him, one hour was more than enough for the city's expert and soldiers to surround him.

“Time to go!”

Summoning Big Huang, Jiang Yi went underground and asked Big Huang to travel straight towards Summer Wind City in the south. The city that he entered earlier was a small city situated in the north of Great Xia Kingdom while Summer Wind City was located just a thousand miles 1 to the south. If Jiang Yi wanted to intercept and kill Xia Wuhui, he had to reach the nearby vicinity of Summer Wind City quickly and look for an opportunity.

It was midnight when Jiang Yi arrived outside of Summer Wind City. He was standing in the wilderness while looking at the huge city from a distance with an agonized expression, making it look like a ma.s.sive beast.

According to the information, the Summer Wind City was a main city governed by the military, which even banished the Qian Clan's scouts regularly. The ident.i.ty of every resident inside had gone through stringent checks, and their ident.i.ty tablets were custom-made which would be inspected every so often. If a merchant group wanted to enter, they had to go through the stringent checks, too; and if Jiang Yi was to try and blend in, he would quickly be discovered.

There were more than a few hundred thousand soldiers in the city, and among them were bountiful of experts. If he was to go from underground, he might be discovered; and there might even be some mechanisms or restrictions under the city of this scale.

“I will sleep first and think about it tomorrow!”

After observing for a moment, Jiang Yi decided to go underground and ask Big Huang to stay vigilant while he slept peacefully.

The next day when he woke up early, he cultivated for some time but was unable to sit still. He quietly controlled Big Huang to enter the Summer Wind City. Just as he was about to go under the Summer Wind City, Jiang Yi was forced to return.

There was indeed a restriction under the city, and it was a formidable one. Under the city, there was a blue light spreading everywhere while Jiang Yi didn't know if this blue light was dangerous or not. He knew that once he made contact, it would certainly alert everyone in the city.

“I cannot enter!”

Jiang Yi retreated and had no choice but to wait outside, waiting for the moment when Xia Wuhui leaves Summer Wind City.

Jiang Yi made use of this period of time to flawlessly fuse the Earth Fire, Fire Dragon Sword, and the martial skill, Wind Shadow Sword. He hid in a mountain peak that was more than ten miles south of Summer Wind City. He could make out the rough situation of the main road from the top of the mountain. If Xia Wuhui was going to Summer Rain City, there would certainly be a huge army that was escorting him, allowing Jiang Yi to notice it easily.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

He didn't pour in too much black essence force; hence, the power of the fire dragons that came out from the Fire Dragon Sword wasn't too powerful. Every time he swung the Fire Dragon Sword, he would execute the Wind Shadow Sword martial skill and combine it.

He didn't know why when the Fire Dragon Sword didn't launch any fire dragons, the Wind Shadow Sword would be easily executed. Once the two dragons appeared, the Wind Shadow Sword wouldn't be able to produce any wind dragons, hence, unable to produce the force field to restrain the enemy.

“Let me try the Earth Fire!”

After releasing a small amount of Earth Fire, he gently swung the sword; it was effective this time. Violent winds surged from all directions and propelled the Earth Fire forward, incinerating a giant tree in front into ashes.

“Could the fire dragons be affecting the air movements, not allowing the wind dragons to form a force field?”

Jiang Yi was a little disappointed. The fire dragons' attack was abnormally ferocious, and if it wasn't able to fuse with this Wind Shadow Sword martial skill, it would be such a pity. After experimenting for the entire afternoon, Jiang Yi was still unable to fuse them.

The Earth Fire was able to be driven by the Wind Shadow Sword and the Fire Dragon Sword. After executing hundreds of slashes, Jiang Yi did obtain some small achievements like how to make the Earth Fire explode—causing a wide area of damage—or how to make the Earth Fire like a fire tongue, enhancing singled out attacks.

After waiting for a day—apart from some merchant groups and smaller military legions, no ma.s.sive army appeared. After being messed up by Jiang Yi, Xia Wuhui's wedding would definitely not be able to carry out as per the schedule for a month later. He was still staying in the Summer Wind City, and Jiang Yi didn't know what he was up to.

The next day was still the same. Apart from cultivating, Jiang Yi experimented on the Wind Shadow Sword and the Fire Dragon Sword, but it was to no avail. He was also a.n.a.lyzing the nine star spheres within his dantian, but he didn't figure out anything either.

Every star sphere was like a miniature dantian that contained tens of thousands of black essence forces. If Jiang Yi cultivated, the first star sphere would be filled with black essence force, but other than this, he totally had no understanding of these nine star spheres.

On the third day!

Jiang Yi finally didn't have to wait anymore. From the north side, there was this large army. This army didn't just advance straight ahead; it separated into two sides with ten miles in-between, scouting the road.

“It is the advance scouting party! Xia Wuhui is about to depart for Summer Rain City!”

Jiang Yi had this vigor in his mind as he quietly rode on Big Huang and dove underground. After the advance party pa.s.sed by, he then emerged from a concealed underground cave to take a look.

30 minutes later, a ma.s.sive army finally appeared in Jiang Yi's vision, leaving him flabbergasted!

This army was a densely-packed army!

With a single glance, there was at least several tens of thousands of soldiers in it! On both side of the main road were the soldiers from the Great Xia Kingdom, who were all wearing black armor, while on the main road were the Divine Martial Kingdom's soldiers who were wearing silver armor. This extended continuously for several miles, and there was no end to it.

“There is so many of them? How am I going to kill Xia Wuhui? Exactly how many peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts are there?”

Jiang Yi was very concerned. If he was to recklessly rush ahead, he would be killed before he could even get near to Xia Wuhui. Furthermore—in the army, there were at least a few dozen luxurious carriages that looked identical. Who would know which carriage Xia Wuhui was in?

Jiang Yi realized that it was helpless in this situation.
