“Kill!”

All the Su clansmen had gone mad and were in despair!

Their hearts were soaring with hatred and wrath. Right now, only the enemy’s blood could content their hearts. Since they were going to die, why not die in a glorious battle? Why not kill a few more enemies and avenge their clansmen?

Swish! Swish!

Once Su Clan’s experts made the move, the Great Xia Kingdom’s army on the city walls all made their move. There was nothing much to defend in this city: an army of 300,000 wouldn’t be able to defend against an army of 1,000,000. Why not just go and risk their lives in battle and uphold the Great Xia Kingdom’s dignity?!

“Attack!”

General Long of the Azure Dragon Empire and the marshals from the five armies all waved and gave their orders. Innumerable soldiers immediately marched forward with thunderous battle drums and bursting killing aura.

Bang...

Right at this moment, the surface of the ground between the two armies suddenly burst open as a yellow giant beast broke through the surface.

The giant beast had a row of spikes, and a green-robed youth was seated in the spikes. He was wielding a fiery red longsword, his clothes were ragged, his hair was disheveled, and his eyes were bloodshot. He seemed to be in extreme fatigue.

Jiang Yi finally made it.

His bloodshot eyes looked around, and when he noticed that Su Ruoxue was still unharmed on the city wall, his tensed-up body immediately relaxed as he let out a long breath.

When he saw the Great Xia Kingdom and the alliance army rushing towards him, he stood in between the two armies without a hint of fear or panic. He didn’t even attempt to escape and roared out with his loudest voice which was enhanced with essence force instead. “All of you, stop for this Patrol Envoy!”

“Jiang Yi!”

“Patrol Envoy Jiang!”

Many voices exclaimed at the same time. General Long of the Azure Dragon Empire instinctively waved his hand, gesturing them to postpone the attack. The battle drums stopped while the Azure Dragon Empire’s army stood in place.

“Everyone, return!”

At this moment, Su Ruoxue yelled out as her beautiful eyes lit up like the stars. Her orders might not be as effective as Su Diwang’s orders, but the Su Clan’s experts still quickly stopped in their advancement, which caused the army behind to stop as well.

The old general from the Saint Spirit Kingdom frowned and made a hand gesture for the army to stop their advancement, too. The marshals from the rest of the kingdoms also gave the same order. Xia Wuhui had no choice but to grit his teeth and order his army to stop their charge.

Forcefully stopping the clash of two armies with a single person’s strength!

Many soldiers had this surprised look, and when they saw Jiang Yi who was riding on the Zouwu Beast, it was even more astonishing. They heard those generals exclaiming Jiang Yi’s name quickly spread out in the armies.

Mt. Spirit Beast College’s no.1 cadet, Kingdom War’s no.1, Divine Martial Kingdom’s criminal of treason, Azure Dragon Empire’s Patrol Envoy, and the continent’s savior...

One had to admit that Jiang Yi was rather famous in the continent, and his fame didn’t lose out to his father, Jiang Bieli. Of course... the main reason to why he was able to stop the clash between the armies was that the person who had Jiang Yi’s back was the demon race’s emperor, the Demon Empress.

The palm strike back in Stellarsky City was a great gift from the Demon Empress to Jiang Yi. This made everyone clear about the relationship between the Demon Empress and Jiang Yi.

That generational combat power from that individual in Mt. Thirty Thousand had put a fear in the whole continent’s guts. With Jiang Yi’s sudden appearance, they instinctively didn’t dare to make any reckless move.

Of course...

Everyone was only stunned for a short moment and soon sobered up. Jiang Yi might have the backing of the Demon Empress and was highly regarded by Princess Ling Xue, but this was a war between humans, right? Furthermore, they were attacking the mastermind who kidnapped the little fox; and even if the Demon Empress knew about it, she wouldn’t interfere, right?

As for Princess Ling Xue... the Azure Dragon Empire originally wanted to use this matter to revitalize the Empire’s reputation and put on a display of their prowess as the ruler. No matter how highly Ling Xue regarded Jiang Yi, she would never give way to this matter.

“The heaven left a road for you, and you actually ventured into the doorless hell...”

There was a trace of bitter resentment in Xia Wuhui’s eyes while the corner of his mouth quickly revealed a cold intent. He opened his mouth and said, “Jiang Yi, are you prepared to help the Great Xia Kingdom resist against the alliance army? Are you going to stay on the side of the renegade? Or perhaps... you are also one of the masterminds of this incident, and rescuing the little fox was just a part of your own act? Was your objective obtaining the backing of the Demon Empress? Otherwise... why would your luck be so impressive? The whole continent was unable to find the little fox, and only you were able to?”

Xia Wuhui’s statement caused quite an uproar. Everyone initially thought it was hilarious, but after giving careful consideration, it felt as though it made sense. Everyone looked over at Jiang Yi and waited for his explanation.

Jiang Yi didn’t even look at Xia Wuhui and immediately ignored him. He looked over at General Long of the Azure Dragon Empire and the rest of the marshals of the various kingdoms and spoke, “I have heard about this matter, but I am not clear about the details. Anyone can be the mastermind of this incident, apart from the Great Xia Kingdom. I am sure all of you know about this, right? On the pretense of the justice for humanity, the great Azure Dragon Empire and the five vassal kingdoms actually took advantage of the weakest kingdom? Is this considered capability? Don’t all of you feel ashamed? Do you mean that your kingdom’s citizens are humans, but the Great Xia Kingdom’s citizens aren’t?”

Jiang Yi finished his statement, which was resounding with strength and had a kind of magic that echoed in everyone’s hearts.

Majority of the people remained silent. General Long’s expression changed a few times before he gritted his teeth and suddenly spoke, “Patrol Envoy Jiang. This is the decree that was announced by the imperial court. Please do not make things difficult for this General. This General only takes military orders. If Lord Patrol Envoy insists on obstructing us, then I have no choice but to offend you.”

After Xia Wuhui snapped out of it, he initially wanted to say something and used righteousness to pressurize Jiang Yi. What use was there to say all this? History had always been written by the victors. Wouldn’t everything end after they killed Jiang Yi and raze Summer Rain City? He immediately yelled out, “Jiang Yi, get lost immediately; otherwise, you shall be viewed as the accomplice and will be killed without mercy.”

The old general from the Saint Spirit Kingdom drew the longsword and asked, “Jiang Yi. Are you going to give way or not? Answer us!”

“Jiang Yi!”

Just at this moment, Su Ruoxue, who was on the city walls suddenly, spoke. Her eyes were filled with sincere and deep affection as she looked at Jiang Yi from afar while her face had this satisfied smile.

For Jiang Yi to appear at this final moment and for him to have the intention to resist against an army of million for her, she could already die with no regrets. She naturally didn’t want Jiang Yi to die in vain. She smiled and said, “You should go. What is there to say with this group of robbers and hoodlums? If you still acknowledge Ruoxue, then leave this place immediately. Otherwise, I will not be able to die in peace. If there is a next life, Ruoxue will not let you down...”

“Next life? If I can’t even control this life, why should I bother about my next life?”

Jiang Yi exchanged eye contact with Su Ruoxue remotely, and his eyes were glowing with abnormal determination. He pursed up his lips and laughed. “Su Ruoxue, do you remember the promise I made to you? I shall honor that promise now! Since these people... want to hurt you, then they shall all die!”

Buzz!

Jiang Yi circulated his essence force in a frenzy while the Zouwu Beast he was riding on had vanished. The Fire Dragon Sword soon glowed brightly as two dragon patterns swam in the sword’s body, roaring silently.

His eyes slowly turned blood red as the killing aura poured out from his body, engulfing the spacious grounds between the two armies. He roared towards the sky. “Come on then. If you want to raze Summer Rain City, then you will have to step over my—Jiang Yi’s—corpse!”
