Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 179: Not to Hurt the Harmony

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In fact, Jiang Yi didn’t blame Su Ruoxue even though she had hurt him very badly today. She didn’t do anything wrong. Was it wrong to help him? Was it her fault that she risked her life to save him? She didn’t intentionally get near him either. It wasn’t her or his fault that their relationship was so special and so ambiguous. It might be the heavens playing tricks on them.

The reason why Jiang Yi flipped out today and was so crazy... wasn’t to take revenge on Su Ruoxue; neither was it to show her anything. It was just that he had been enduring a lot of fire in his heart, which got fueled by Zhangsun Wuji and Xia Tian. It was still unknown till date, whether Jiang Yunhai was still alive or not—and it was also credited to these two.

If the two of them didn’t provoke him, he might be able to endure it; but they had been provoking him constantly. If he had endured that, what else couldn’t be endured? Once Xia Feiyu heckled at him, he didn’t want to give in anymore. Instead, he wanted to clash head-on and reveal his true ability!

Since he was going to fight, there was no difference between fighting against one or against five. If he could kill more Zhangsun Clan’s members, he would feel much better in his heart.

As for the request for Xia Feiyu to spend the night with him, it was purely to his dislike for this Sixth Princess. What was a woman like her doing? Trying to start a fire in the conflict between men? Of course, it was also because of Xia Tian and Xia Wuhui. He had nothing but bad impression for the members of the royal clan.

When Jiang Yi casually agreed to the challenge, Xia Tian and Zhangsun Wuji were both ecstatic and worried!

One against five—one of them was even a first-stage Soul Travel Realm. If Jiang Yi was clear in his head, he was either courting for death; or he was certain he could take out Zhangsun Wuhen.

Since they had already clashed, there was no reason to back out. Nearly half of the young masters and ladies from the great clans of the Divine Martial Kingdom were here; the Zhangsun Clan couldn’t afford to humiliate themselves here.

Zhangsun Wuji took a glance at the back where the young masters of the Zhangsun Clan were seated and said, “Second Brother, Feiyu, Longteng, Huxiao, Shengtian. Since Young Master Jiang wants to play, you guys go and play with him. You have the free rein to fight, but don’t kill him. Otherwise, you will not be able to bear the responsibility when Young Master Jiang’s family come looking for you.”

“Huh...”

From the statement made by Zhangsun Wuji, they could hear that it was filled with killing intent. He had a way with words. He gave Zhangsun Wuhen and the others free rein to fight, which meant they should find an opportunity to kill Jiang Yi. In front of all these audiences, Jiang Yi was the one who requested for the fight; and Zhangsun Wuji even instructed for his men to not kill Jiang Yi. If anything was to happen, Jiang Bieli would have no grounds to pursue in this matter, right?

The Crown Prince Xia Wuhui frowned. He was the one who invited everyone for the banquet, and if Jiang Yi was to die, he was going to take a lot of the pressure. Since the matter was already like this, it was useless to say anything else. He lowered his voice and asked, “Young Master Jiang, are you sure you are going to fight? Weapons have no eyes. Wuhui’s meaning is best not to hurt the harmony.”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi laughed while facing the sky, the edges of his mouth was filled with mockery. This group of hypocrites wanted him dead but was speaking with insincere courtesy, making him disgusted.

He looked at Xia Wuhui from afar and spoke, “Your Royal Highness. Where is your technique practicing room? I am afraid I might wreck your palace. And... it is best that when we are having our match, there shouldn’t be any observers; otherwise, I will not take responsibility for any mishaps!”

Everyone revealed a disappointed expression when they heard that they couldn’t observe such an exciting match? Since it was Jiang Yi who proposed it, then no one could object it. The Crown Prince nodded and said, “The technique practicing room is right at the side. Wuhui shall personally bring all of you there. Everyone, please do not overdo it. Since everyone here is an accomplished youth of the Divine Martial Kingdom, any injuries would be a loss for the kingdom.”

Xia Wuhui stood up to lead Jiang Yi and Zhangsun Wuhen’s group outside. Everyone followed along even though they couldn’t observe the match. With such a huge battle brewing over there, they were bored to just sit here as well—why not go over and wait for the result of the battle?

“Boss. Are you certain you can do it?”

Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang came over to Jiang Yi’s side. As Qian Wanguan asked softly with a grave expression, Jiang Yi could see everyone leaning over to listen. He casually laughed. “If I die, remember to bring my corpse back to the Mt. Spirit Beast and burn me some paper money on the same date of every year.”

Nearly everyone in the grand hall had gone out, but Su Ruoxue was still sitting there and not moving. Just as Jiang Yi was about to walk out of the grand hall, she suddenly stood up and called out urgently, “Jiang Yi...”

Jiang Yi froze and slowly turned around to look at Su Ruoxue in the eyes. He twitched his mouth and forced out a smile. “Mentor Su. Do you... have any instructions?”

Hearing the Jiang Yi addressing her as ‘Mentor Su,’ Su Ruoxue’s body shook as she bit on her lips and said, “Be careful!”

“Hahaha!”

Jiang Yi let out a long laugh and walked out, without saying anything. Leaving behind a back view to Su Ruoxue that was as straight as a sword.

...

“Young Master Jiang, Zhangsun Wuhen, listen up. This is just a sparring match. Do not put any lives at stake. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to Lord Father. Someone, come over and open the technique practicing room!”

Under Xia Wuhui’s orders, the huge palace door gradually opened up. Zhangsun Wuhen and his group take the lead and entered. Jiang Yi patted on Qian Wanguan’s shoulder and looked at Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Lin’er in the eye before walking in. The huge doors of the technique practicing room slowly closed, and there was this sudden glow, activating the restriction.

“Boss, you will definitely win!”

Qian Wanguan looked at the technique practicing room and whispered. Zhan Wushuang smiled indistinctly and shook his head, “In less than 30 minutes, Jiang Yi will certainly come out while Zhangsun Wuhen and the rest will certainly be dead!”

“Ah?”

Qian Wanguan let out a surprised voice and asked while being confused, “Brother Wushuang, why are you so certain?”

Zhan Lin’er was also nervously looking at Zhan Wushuang. He stayed silent for a while before he looked at the technique practicing room faintly and whispered, “Intuition. The Battle God Race’s descendants have this innate intuition for danger. Previously, Jiang Yi gave me the feeling that he was a legendary dragon, but now, he is giving off the feeling that he is a true dragon—incomparably dangerous!”

...

“Bang!”

As the huge door closed tightly, Jiang Yi was standing ten feet away from the door while Zhangsun Wuhen’s five were standing proudly at the corners of the technique practicing room. They had opened into a fan-shaped formation to surround Jiang Yi.

“Buzz!”

The instant the huge door closed, Zhangsun Wuhen and the others promptly circulated their essence force while five sets of God-Exterminating Crossbow appeared in their hands. They were all revealing ruthless smiles while looking at Jiang Yi.

“Your Zhangsun Clan’s members sure are commendable, huh? Shoot if you have the guts!”

Jiang Yi stood still unenthusiastically and mocked while he saw the God-Exterminating Crossbows in their hands. His body wasn’t circulating any essence force and didn’t have any fear for the crossbows in their hands.

“Little bastard, receive death!”

Zhangsun Wuhen hinted the other four with a signal from the eye and rushed towards Jiang Yi. They didn’t dare to recklessly use the God-Exterminating Crossbow, and if possible, they would like to kill Jiang Yi using normal methods—which would be the best method.

If someone investigated about it—seeing that Jiang Yi was killed by the God-Exterminating Crossbow, Jiang Bieli wouldn’t just let it rest; and everyone would treat the Zhangsun Clan as a joke. It was a five-against-one match, and they still had to use such a vicious weapon.

“Swish!”

Zhangsun Wuhen reached to his back and pulled a silver battle saber out of the sheath. His body leaped high and cleaved down suddenly when he was about 300 feet from Jiang Yi. A yellow saber force was whizzed out and flew towards Jiang Yi.

The other four didn’t attack, but they all began to move around rapidly. They used their God-Exterminating Crossbows to aim at Jiang Yi, affecting his judgment.
