My Fury Will Burn The Heavens Chapter 272 - Give Myself To You!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The demonic beast army headed straight through the Northern Mang Kingdom, into the Divine Martial Kingdom, and towards Mt. Thirty Thousand. The Northern Mang Kingdom had been giving the green light along the way while the Divine Martial Kingdom's Xia Tingwei wasn't a fool either. Everywhere the demonic beast army pa.s.sed by, they would evacuate their army and all the residents within the city, allowing the demonic beast army to march openly back to Mt. Thirty Thousand.

Once the demonic beast army had withdrawn, all the people on the continent were overjoyed. The various Kings all let out a breath of relief while Shui Youlan and the other martial experts could finally feel the tension leaving their bodies.

If the demonic beast army wasn't going to withdraw, they had no choice but to fight to their deaths; and the conclusion of the battle was going to be miserable. If even the old ancestor of Azure Dragon Empire had lost, it meant that the Demon Empress' combat strength was heaven-defying and was possibly comparable to those famed Heaven Monarch absolute experts in history. Even if the top ten martial experts were to work together, it was an unknown whether they could defeat her.

A name was spread across the continent once again!

Jiang Yi!

The tens of thousands of scouts that were disseminated across the continent by the Azure Dragon Empire began to quickly spread the incident regarding Jiang Yi. After adding more details in by the Azure Dragon Empire, the story became as such:

Jiang Yi pursued several criminals who kidnapped the little fox—all by himself. After pursuing for an entire month, he killed over a few dozen peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts, and finally rescued the little fox successfully.

This wasn't the important thing. No one knew if it was Princess Ling Xue's instructions or the others adding fake information without permission.

After Jiang Yi rescued the little fox, he resisted against the Demon Empress by himself. In order to stop the Demon Empress from cleansing the continent with blood, he fought against the Demon Empress for one day and one night before finally repelling the Demon Empress. After suffering grievous injuries, he was now being treated by one of the four heaven-tier healer masters, Master Hong, and was still in the midst of incessant rescue.

Jiang Yi's renown had reached the peak at this moment!

Even if he was a notorious criminal that committed treason, what was it worth to compare to the righteousness he had contributed to mankind? Had it not been for Jiang Yi, how many more lives had to be lost in the continent? How many more cities would be devastated? How many more families and children would be ruined and orphaned?

Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Empire even announced to the world on how the royal clan of the Divine Martial Kingdom went back on their promise and behaved erratically. They said the royal clan s.n.a.t.c.hed the Soul-Subduing Herb which originally belonged to Jiang Yi, restoring Jiang Yi's reputation. They even obscurely made it known that the Divine Martial Kingdom's Crown Prince, Xia Wuhui, tried to murder Jiang Yi because he was jealous!

All of a sudden, there were many who sympathized with Jiang Yi. He was just a 16-year-old youth; why would he even commit treason against a va.s.sal kingdom by himself for no reason? Some of them even cursed at the royal clan of the Divine Martial Kingdom, condemning them by speech and writing about their injustice.

With the calamity just pa.s.sing by—and with so many casualties in the continent, the world was filled with anxiety; and Jiang Yi appeared just in time to fill up that gap. Martial strength ruled supreme in this continent, and the people needed a hero—as they also worshipped heroes. The various va.s.sal kingdoms didn't dare to deal with this matter, fearing that they might incur the wrath of the world, Shui Youlan, and the others.

Hence… Jiang Yi quickly became the people's hero in the continent, the dream lover of countless young ladies, and the idol of many young men. Many of the elderlies were praying day and night to the G.o.ds, blessing for Jiang Yi to survive and recover.

One had to admit!

This move from the Azure Dragon Empire was brilliant. Jiang Yi might just be a Patrol Envoy for the Azure Dragon Empire on the surface, but when Jiang Yi's renown was at the peak, the Azure Dragon Empire's renown was shaken up, too. After all, it was the Azure Dragon Empire which stopped the demonic beast army at the most crucial moment, right?

The one who grasped the people's heart shall rule the world!

For any va.s.sal kingdom to rule the world, they first required martial experts, then a formidable army, and finally, they must obtain the people's heart!

Right now, the Azure Dragon Kingdom had already obtained the people's heart, and for this short period of time, the various va.s.sal kingdoms would definitely not dare to attack Stellarsky City. Otherwise, they might incur the disdain of the continent's people; and their armies might even stage a mutiny.

The Azure Dragon Empire might have won this time, but they had suffered great losses. The strength that they had acc.u.mulated over the past ten thousand years had all been exposed, and they lost over half of it. The old ancestor of the Azure Dragon Empire had also suffered severe injuries, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Jiang Yi naturally wasn't dead!

That Demon Empress' palm strike was only a pretense, and it was for her to find an excuse to withdraw her army without showing any form of weakness. It was, in fact, to provide a great gift to Jiang Yi… for him to become the hero of mankind; hence, she naturally wouldn't kill him. Or else—with the Demon Empress' combat strength, she would only need one finger to kill Jiang Yi—let alone a palm strike.

Jiang Yi did suffer quite a serious injury as the bones throughout his body shattered while many of his inner organs were left ruptured. Luckily, the Azure Dragon Empire had a heaven-tier healer and tons of spirit herbs, which only required them half a day to stabilize his injuries. Of course, in order to achieve complete recovery, it was impossible without recuperating for ten days or half a month.

After Princ.i.p.al Qi and the others were certain that Jiang Yi was going to be fine, they each entered the teleportation array to report on their mission. Princess Ling Xue was rather generous as she bestowed everyone a piece of celestial stone, some artifacts, and also a glory medal which obviously meant that she wanted to recruit them.

Jiang Yi was awake on the third day but wasn't able to move. He stubbornly sat up to cultivate and recuperate—which hasten the treatment provided by Master Hong, allowing him to get off the bed on the seventh day. On the tenth day, his body was already almost fully recovered.

“Shh-shh-shh!”

On the eleventh day…

Jiang Yi was residing outside of the imperial palace. When Princess Ling Xue went in with a group of palace maids and eunuchs, she yelled out imperatively, “Jiang Yi, where are you going? Your injuries are not yet recovered; what are you acting willfully for?”

Jiang Yi was still cultivating on the bed and had opened his eyes when he heard Ling Xue's voice. He laughed lightly and replied, “My body is already fine, and I still have some urgent matters to attend to back at Mt. Spirit Beast College. I shall not trouble Your Highness anymore!”

He had already gathered the three types of spirit herbs and had asked Zhuge Qingyun to request Master Liao to offer treatment. It was already over a month, and Jiang Xiaonu should already have been rescued, right? This poor servant girl had been asleep for over a year, and Jiang Yi's heart was very restless. He was itching to return to the college immediately.

Ling Xue's charming face suddenly turned chilling as she overruled firmly. “No way! Your injuries aren't fully recovered yet, and you must not go. Furthermore, you are the Patrol Envoy for the Empire; how can you just leave so easily? I still have many important tasks for you.”

Jiang Yi's smile froze as his eyes glistened while looking at Princess Ling Xue. He then spoke indifferently, “Princess, are you ordering me? Ke-Ke, I can just abandon my role as the Patrol Envoy.”

“Uh…”

Ling Xue's expression changed as she gestured for the palace maids and eunuchs to be dismissed. Her absolute beautiful face turned pitiful as she looked at Jiang Yi with a hidden bitterness while she spoke, “Jiang Yi, consider it as me begging you, okay? I really wish for you to stay!”

“Huuu!”

Jiang Yi let out a deep breath. If Ling Xue was insistent on making him stay, he would definitely kill his way out. Now that she was begging softly, he couldn't put on his cold expression anymore. He muttered for a moment before he replied, “I truly have matters to attend to. Once everything is settled, and if possible, I might return to Stellarsky City.”

“Jiang Yi!”

Princess Ling Xue suddenly sat on the side of the bed and grabbed onto Jiang Yi's arm. Her eyes were tender and soft as she gently bit on her lips and said, “If… you are able to commit yourself to a.s.sist the Empire, Ling Xue—Ling Xue can truly… give myself to you!”

“We can talk about this later on!”

Jiang Yi took off Ling Xue's arm, stood up, and walked out directly. He then turned around to look at Ling Xue at the doors and said, “Princess, actually, I personally feel that relationships should be as pure and as simple as possible. As long as the man and woman love each other, their statuses shouldn't be a factor at all. A relationship shouldn't involve any other matters; otherwise, it wouldn't feel true anymore…”
