Chapter 1638: Crushed to His Death

The mummy was actually really hard to refine; if not, Jiang Yi would not have taken so long. Furthermore, only he could refine the mummy this way. He had cultivated the Mighty God Technique and had the Power of Heaven and Earth within him.
The Mighty God Race had cultivated a hundred and eight acupoints. As long as all of these acupoints were triggered, the mummy would more or less be refined. However, if it was someone not from the Mighty God Race, even if they managed to refine all the acupoints; the mummy wouldn’t move. Without a power supply, how could something dead move?
When the Heaven Domain great family clans refined mummies, they needed to put into place many arrays and restrictions and then use special spirit stones to give the mummy energy. This way, the mummy could move and attack.
Jiang Yi, however, didn’t need to do any of this. He had the Power of Heaven and Earth which was the foundation of the Mighty God Race; its energy was immense. A sliver of the Power of Heaven and Earth could allow the mummy to move for ten seconds more or less. Its speed would be much faster while its attacks were much more ferocious as well.
“Escape?”
Jiang Yi had almost been killed; seeing this group of people turning and wanting to flee, how could he just watch and let them escape? He hurriedly injected the Power of Heaven and Earth to control the mummy as it leaped down aggressively and transformed into a shadow as it pursued them. Jiang Yi didn’t even bother taking the other treasure box; since only he could reach it, there was no rush.
In front of him was a group of young masters and young mistresses. These were the disciples of the Heaven Domain prestigious clans. Jiang Yi was very clear that if he killed them, the consequences would be dire. However, his character had not changed; whoever wanted him dead, he would make that person pay the price. Regardless of who he was, that person had to die.
Swish!
This mummy used to be the East Thearch of the Mighty God Race. Although Jiang Yi did not know if this Thearch was Thearch-Ranked—as the number-one strongest person beneath the Mighty God Race royal family, this mummy’s strength and power were unquestionable. Furthermore, the East Thearch had used a secret art to refine this mummy for ten thousand years. As for how strong this mummy was exactly, Jiang Yi actually still didn’t know.
Dao Feng and company’s speeds were very fast. Some young masters and young mistresses, however, were slower. These young masters and young mistresses’ bodyguards naturally couldn’t run at their fastest; they needed to protect their charges.
Within a few blinks of the eye, the mummy had caught up with the huge group near the rear as a sharp claw swiped swiftly, bringing with it a screeching sound. A very cold and menacing killing aura also enveloped the ten-odd people at the rear.
“Young Master, hurry up and break your Divine Escape Talisman!”
One King-Ranked bodyguard looked at his young master as he shouted as he then shot backward without hesitation, hacking his battle saber at the mummy’s claw.
Ring, ring, ring!
Sparks lit up as the sharp battle saber hacked at the mummy’s claw as if it was hacking at a Primitive Spiritual Treasure weapon. The mummy’s horrifying strength actually rebounded the battle saber and knocked it away as its claw followed through and struck that bodyguard’s head.
“Ah—”
A desperate cry rang out as this person’s head was instantly crushed. His young master didn’t hesitate anymore as a hexagonal jade talisman appeared in his hand, and he broke it hurriedly.
Buzz!
A white light flashed and enveloped this young master. Following that, this person vanished into thin air. Some other young masters and young mistresses also followed suit as they all took out their hexagonal jade talismans and crushed them as they also disappeared from view.
“What is that thing?”
Jiang Yi blinked. What was this hexagonal jade talisman? It could make all of them vanish into thin air? Were they concealed or had they been teleported away? If they had been teleported away, where did they go? Were they sent to the first level of the Chaos Sea? As for teleporting to the Heaven Domain, Jiang Yi didn’t even entertain that thought. After all, the Heaven Domain was so far away; even a small Teleportation Formation was insufficient to send people there from here.
Dao Feng did not break his Divine Escape Talisman; neither did Young Mistress Gongyang. All the other young masters and young mistresses had left except for the two of them. The Divine Escape Talisman was used to teleport them back to an assigned location of their clans’ choosing. If they went back this way while forced by a mere youth from the Earth Domain, both of them would not have any face left; and their status within their clans would immediately drop.
“Jiang Yi!”
Dao Feng’s injuries on his face had started to heal, though some scars still remained. However, he wasn’t as frightening to look at as before. He ran as he turned and shouted in rage, “Jiang Yi, stop killing. I admit that I lost this round. I promise to never find trouble with you again. We will also leave this central hall immediately. How about that?”
Young Mistress Gongyang thought for a moment as she also said, “Jiang Yi, sooner or later you will be heading to the Heaven Domain. If you continue to kill people, how can you establish yourself in the Heaven Domain? This time, we are in the wrong. Shall we let bygones be bygones?”
“I don’t have any comments!”
Jiang Yi smiled coldly. Dao Feng and Young Mistress Gongyang actually had quite thick skin. If he had not refined the mummy, he would probably have died already, right? Now that he had successfully refined the mummy, the two actually wanted to wipe the slate clean? The Heaven Domain? Jiang Yi had never once thought of going there.
Swish!
The mummy continued to explode forward. Those formidable martial artists that weren’t King-Ranked started to fall as they were clawed to death. In a few blinks of an eye, the ten-odd men in the rear had all been killed.
“Jiang Yi, must you go this far?”
Dao Feng’s scarred face twitched furiously; they were already at the southern end of the central hall. There was a huge door ahead, and once they exited, they would either be teleported to the second level or to another side hall. However, this door shone with restrictions; they could not possibly destroy these restrictions in a short amount of time.
Seeing Jiang Yi keeping mum, Dao Feng grew even angrier as he shouted, “Let’s all give it our all! You guys don’t have the Divine Escape Talisman anyway; death is the only choice left. Let’s fight Jiang Yi to the death.”
Dao Feng had not finished speaking when the mummy started to charge at him as Dao Zhan hurriedly intercepted. At this moment, a six-colored burning flame exploded in Jiang Yi’s hand as it engulfed Dao Zhan instantly. A huge heat wave surged forward.
“Ah…”
Dao Zhan was burned badly as his body instinctively retreated. The other King-Ranked formidable martial artists that had wanted to surround and attack all also retreated. The mummy did not pursue Dao Zhan but shot straight for Dao Feng. Jiang Yi once again sent out a ball of burning flames, and Dao Feng could not attack but could only flee desperately.
The mummy’s speed was faster than Dao Feng’s. Furthermore, with the high temperature disrupting Dao Feng’s essence force, the distance between the two grew closer and closer.
“Sigh…”
Hearing the wind catching up with him, Dao Feng gritted his teeth helplessly as he took out his Divine Escape Talisman. Although he would become the laughingstock of the Dao Clan if he went back so disheveled and wounded, his life was worth more than losing his face.
“Planning to run?”
Jiang Yi saw Dao Feng taking out the Divine Escape Talisman as his mouth twitched and revealed a sliver of coldness. The six-colored burning flame in his hand appeared once more as Jiang Yi furiously slammed it forward. As the mummy was only a hundred feet from Dao Feng—once this flame was sent out, Dao Feng was immediately scalded as he rolled about on the ground in pain. He actually… tossed that Divine Escape Talisman away.
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up as he roared, “East Thearch, kill him!”
Swish!
The mummy’s huge body leaped up as one of its legs lifted high and like a huge mountain, it slammed downwards on Dao Feng’s chest.
Crack!
A sound of bones cracking rang out. Although Dao Feng wore a Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure, how powerful was the Mighty God Race? This leg slamming down on Dao Feng caused at least ten of his bones to crack.
“Done for…”
Young Mistress Gongyang’s eyes dimmed. Dao Feng actually lost his grip on the Divine Escape Talisman at the last moment? No one could save him now. This lunatic Jiang Yi seemed determined to kill Dao Feng.
Buzz!
She hesitated no more as she broke her Divine Escape Talisman and disappeared from within the Demon-Killing Palace.
