“Yun He and Shui Qianrou are here!”
In the underground tunnel, Jiang Yi was gathered with Yun Fei and Zhan Wushuang. Yun Fei had this grave expression as she spoke, “I reckon that Shui Qianrou is about to use the saint artifact. What should we do, Jiang Yi?”
Jiang Yi made some calculations in his heart and had this unpleasant expression while he let out a light sigh. “There is still one hour before midnight. We just have to drag it out until midnight—by then, all those without soul spirit defense would go crazy. We will then be able to eliminate everyone.”
“One hour? How are we going to drag for such a long time?”
Yun Fei shook her head and said, “The World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace is much too powerful. Shui Qianrou used it previously to smash a huge tree effortlessly. These tree roots wouldn’t be able to withstand it. What’s more... I am afraid that when too many of these trees are destroyed, the natural formation here will be ruined; and we will never be able to escape!”
“Then I will go all-out. Wushuang, you and Yun Fei will stick together and harass them from time to time. We have to drag it out until midnight! And remember... before midnight comes, you have to rendezvous with me; otherwise, Yun Fei would go crazy!”
After giving his instructions, Jiang Yi shouted, “Silver-Moon Demon Wolf!”
“Boom!”
Right at this moment, a gigantic sound came from above, shaking the surface of the ground while dirt fell in the underground tunnel. A horrific shockwave came from above, making all three of them fall down. Jiang Yi and Yun Fei felt pent-up pressure in their chest, causing them to almost vomit out some blood.
“Three of the tree roots have broken—it will not hold! We will go now!”
Yun Fei released her sorcery to twine over a few tree roots as Zhan Wushuang brought her along and ran towards one side while Jiang Yi rode the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf and ran towards the other side.

The Green Noxious Bugs had been following Jiang Yi. As long as he moved, Yun He would know immediately. He turned his eyes and said to Shui Qianrou, “Continue smashing and open up the tunnel! Then we will get people to chase him through the tunnels. I would like to see where he will escape from this.”
“Okay!”
Shui Qianrou was excited when she was certain Jiang Yi was in the vicinity as she wielded the World-Extinguishing Silver Necklace to smash on the ground again and again, destroying the tree roots underneath. With a wave of Yun He’s hand, dozens of Soul Travel Realm experts and hundreds of Purple Mansion Realm fighters rushed into the tunnel to pursue Jiang Yi.
“Go! Jiang Yi is over that side!”
Yun He let out a yell and controlled the giant ape to run over. Shui Qianrou leaped onto the giant ape’s shoulder while the 50 Water Moon Observatory experts followed on both sides, preventing Jiang Yi from attacking Shui Qianrou.
“Bang!”
In the surface of the ground ahead, Jiang Yi burst out from underground and was blazing with Earth Fire, incinerating dozens of people into ashes. This time, he didn’t dive back into the tunnel. He rode on the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf and ran straight ahead frantically.
“Jiang Yi—it’s Jiang Yi!”
It was still quite a distance away, and Jiang Yi had dyed the Silver Moon Demon Wolf blue while wearing a black devil’s mask, but Shui Qianrou immediately recognized him. The Silver-Moon Demon Wolf was rare, and Jiang Yi might be the only one who had tamed it as a spirit beast in the entire continent.
“Pass the orders. Reform the formation and surround Jiang Yi!”
Yun He revealed a nefariously charming smile. As long as Jiang Yi revealed himself—even if he was a deity, it would be difficult for him to escape the grasps of several thousand individuals.
“Howl!”
The scouts that were responsible for passing the orders had sounded the horn, which quickly shifted the three legions. They didn’t recklessly chase after Jiang Yi. Instead, they made two circles while waiting in formation. Concurrently, Yun He sent another few hundred men into the tunnels, putting out an inescapable net, preventing Jiang Yi from breaking out.
However, Jiang Yi never had the intention to break out of the entrapment!
He wanted this whole group and Shui Qianrou to stay behind; otherwise—even if he was to escape this entrapment, they would still be able to surround him the next time. Shui Qianrou could still gather more people to pursue him, and people like Xia Tian and Zhangsun Wuji would gladly join her. What’s more—if he didn’t make use of this Ghost Woods which was such an advantageous location, where was he going to find another battlefield with such conditions?
Hence, he was prepared to risk his life. Of course, he wasn’t rushing blindly. He was controlling the Silver-Moon Demon Wolf to sprint at the fastest speed to put a gap between Shui Qianrou and Yun He. Shui Qianrou possessed the saint artifact that could break the Devil Sky Silk while Yun He had his bizarre sorcery arts which he didn’t dare to get near to. What he had to do was just to drag out the time.
“Swish!”
Rows of martial artists were standing in straight-line formations ahead. Before Jiang Yi could approach them, numerous saber and sword force came flying across the air. Jiang Yi had no choice but to change the demon wolf’s direction. No matter where he went, he would be welcomed with an endless supply of essence-force-released attacks.
“Hahaha!”
Willful laughter echoed from a distance. “Jiang Yi, stop running and get captured! You will never escape! As long as you surrender, Qianrou guarantees not to beat you to death.”
“Ge-Ge!”
Shui Qianrou’s silver-bell-like laughter echoed again. “Jiang Yi. Back when you killed my Little Blackie and destroyed my Spirit Sparrow Robes, did you expect to be in such a predicament today? Aren’t you very presumptuous? Carry on!”
“Dash!”
The eyes beneath Jiang Yi’s devil mask had nothing but cold intent, and he couldn’t even be bothered to speak a sentence of nonsense. He suddenly controlled his Silver-Moon Demon Wolf to jump up high while shooting two of the God-Exterminating Crossbows from his hands and roared, “Those who obstruct me shall die!”
“Bang!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA few thousand feet away from here, a figure burst out from underground with two hands that were shining in golden light. The fingers extended and transformed into two dragon claws, clawing at the legs of a Soul Travel Realm expert. Just as he made his move, the surface of the ground violently emerged with countless vines, tangling everyone in the vicinity.
“Swish! Swish!”
As innumerable saber, sword, and finger forces were shot at Jiang Yi, the demon wolf that he rode on suddenly vanished as he was wrapped in long silver silk. His body was rapidly spinning in mid-air as he evaded two finger forces but was hit by two saber lights.
“Go!”
Just as his body was blasted away, he suddenly yelled out, untying the Devil Sky Silk from his body and wrapping it at a tree—using the momentum to swing forward.
“Attack!”
A nearby Soul Travel Realm expert roared out while the Purple Mansion Realm fighters under him drew their weapons and flew towards Jiang Yi. There were four or five Soul Travel Realm experts who laid in ambush, releasing the killing intent from their weapons and suffocating Jiang Yi.
“Earth Fire!”
Facing against the figures that were flying towards him, Jiang Yi didn’t show any fear as raging flames fumed from his body. He kept the Devil Sky Silk and stomped on the tree with one leg, launching himself towards the group.
“Run—!”
When they saw Jiang Yi turn into a flaming human—the air around him set into blazing heat, those enemies that were heading towards Jiang Yi instantly fled to the other direction... with fear. Jiang Yi suddenly executed a palm strike and swept the flames from his body to engulf the enemies in front of him.
“Ah!”
Over a dozen bodies were incinerated at a speed visible to the human eye. Once a few of the Soul Travel Realm experts let out a miserable scream, they scattered into the wind as ashes.
“Ss, ss...”
Many of them knew that Jiang Yi could spill out dreadful flames, but when they witness it for the first time, they turned pale with fright. Even Shui Qianrou and Yun He, who were standing in the distance, had a change in expression.
Yun He was actually more fearful when he saw the vines emerging from the other side. His nefariously charming smile revealed a sneer as he shouted out, “Very good, Yun Fei. A bitch like you is actually helping outsiders to deal with me? Then all of you shall die here!”
