Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1435: A Straw to Clutch At

Swish! Swish!

A shadowy figure floated by from the mountain peak on the left. He was holding onto an ordinary-looking martial artist who had both his legs broken. That martial artist was still unconscious. The shadowy figure’s speed was very fast; even a group of Heaven Emanations could not see his face clearly. As there was black fog appearing everywhere, not many people bothered to pay attention to him either.

“It is indeed Lord Mo Shangxing!”

Xiao Leng saw this figure and was energized. With him around, there was hope for Jiang Yi. He gestured furiously at the few Heaven Emanations near him, shouting, “Retreat, retreat! If not, we will all be demonized!”

“Enter my spatial divine item! You guys will not be able to outrun it!”

The figure that was flying from afar yelled. Xiao Leng and company were more than happy to obey. Based on their speed, they would probably not be able to outrun the black fog and be demonized. The figure shot by, and everyone realized that they still could not see his face clearly. However, thinking that Mo Shangxing’s title was the ‘Shadow’, everyone did not find that strange at all. It was not surprising that ordinary people could not see his face clearly.

A bejeweled treasure pagoda appeared in Mo Shangxing’s hands as he kept the Poison Spirit inside. He then ushered in Xiao Leng and company. As he was prepared to bring Jiang Yi in as well, Jiang Yi’s head started to glow as small Xiaozhuan characters suddenly appeared above his head and formed a circular ring of light.

“Eh?”

Mo Shangxing looked a couple of times; his blurry face actually gradually became clearer. His eyes were filled with astonishment as he stared at those Xiaozhuan characters. After these Xiaozhuan characters had flown out, the Netherworld Aura in the vicinity had all disappeared. Furthermore, the Netherworld Aura around Jiang Yi was also swiftly being cleansed. Within a few blinks of the eye, the concentrated black fog in the area was suddenly cleansed as a five-hundred-feet radius of light shone. As long as the Netherworld Aura entered this area, it was automatically being cleansed!

“What type of peculiar treasure is this?”

Mo Shangxing silently was filled with surprise. Originally, he had not understood why Mo Lingqiu had asked him to come and protect such a lad like Jiang Yi; he also slightly looked down on Jiang Yi. At this moment, he suddenly got a feeling that Jiang Yi was indeed somewhat special. Even the Heaven Emanations could not withstand such a concentration of Netherworld Aura; Jiang Yi had easily handled them and even cleansed them!

“Cleansed? Alright!”

Mo Shangxing’s eyes lit up as he suddenly grabbed onto Jiang Yi’s shoulder as he started to fly about. He was flying quite steadily such that Jiang Yi’s body did not feel a silver of a tremor; his eyes were still closed as he was in seclusion. As Jiang Yi moved, that light shield also moved along with him. Wherever that light shield went, the Netherworld Aura was automatically cleansed; it was very magical!

“This…”

Something else astonished Mo Shangxing even more. Some low-grade Earth Emanations and Demon-Killing Battle Kings had been immobilized by the soul spirit attack and were being attacked by the Netherworld Aura at this moment; their soul spirits and bodies were already almost completely demonized. However, as he brought Jiang Yi closer to them, these people’s bodies and soul spirits were immediately cleansed of the Netherworld Aura by that light shield and they were waking up.

“Those who have spatial divine items, take them out and keep all these people inside! Then, follow me!”

Mo Shangxing placed people he encountered along the way inside his spatial divine item as he gave the order. Some of those who were awakened hastened to follow his orders. Many took out their spatial divine items to keep those who didn’t have these items inside them and followed Mo Shangxing and Jiang Yi. As long as they were within the light shield, not only would there not be any Netherworld Aura, but the soul spirit attack also wouldn’t affect them much.

“What artifact is that?”

The martial artists following behind the duo had the same question as Mo Shangxing. If it wasn’t Jiang Yi’s treasure, probably everyone would be thinking of a way to get their hands on this; it was too magical.

“Alright!”

Mo Shangxing’s eyes revealed a sliver of fire. He had wanted to bring Jiang Yi and leave, leaving these people behind. Now that he had the ability to save them, he was naturally not going to abandon them.

Although Jiang Yi’s light shield was only a thousand feet wide, as all those that had come this time were Earth Emanations-equivalent and above, at least one in ten had a spatial divine item. As one inter-spatial ring could contain tens of men, these tens of thousands of soldiers could probably all be rescued.

Mo Shangxing’s speed accelerated slightly. Saving a life was after all better than building a seven-storied pagoda. In the fight against the Netherworld Realm, all humans were equal; and every martial artist was precious. If even one person was demonized by the Netherworld Aura, the Netherworld Realm would grow stronger by a little.

Swish! Swish!

Mo Shangxing brought Jiang Yi along as he flew about and rescued martial artist after martial artist. Many Heaven Emanations also flew down from the mountain peak to join in the rescue mission. They all had spatial divine items and could take in many people.

There was a thick black fog around the base of the mountain, bringing with them a sense of cruel, cold, and deathly aura. If an ordinary person had witnessed this scene, they would probably have fainted. However, in the midst of the black fog, there was a soft and warm light shield. It was as if the light of life subduing the devilish death aura, becoming a straw to clutch on for the tens of thousands of martial artists.

“Die—”

From the peak of the mountain, a shout traveled out. It was Xiao Shan’s voice. The Black Barbarian howled and said, “Even if you destroy my body, you would not be able to destroy my soul. With the Netherworld Demon Formation activated, I am invincible! Hahaha, all of you will soon become Netherworld Slaves!”

“Fool!”

Mo Shangxing couldn’t resist it as he shouted mockingly. “Black Barbarian, open your eyes wide and take a look; how many people has the Netherworld Demon Formation demonized?”

“Uh?”

A doubtful voice traveled from the mountain peak. After that, the Black Barbarian let out a pitiful cry. He angrily said, “This… no…”

Xiao Shan and Gan Qi had combined forces and destroyed the Black Barbarian’s body; the two did not stop for a moment and immediately rushed northwards. Xiao Hong and the other two men were still bitterly fighting off that Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast. If the two of them did not head over to help, the trio could possibly be killed or demonized.

“You guys take over and bring Jiang Yi about to rescue the remaining people. After rescuing them, you guys are to retreat immediately. I will go and see if I can kill that Chaos Beast or not!”

Mo Shangxing saw that the majority of their forces had been rescued and that Jiang Yi was not in danger of being demonized as he relaxed and asked a few members of the Xiao Clan to protect Jiang Yi and continue the rescue operation. He himself floated towards the north. Xiao Hong and the others were all considered formidable martial artists; it was a pity if they were killed or demonized.

Two men from the Xiao Clan lifted Jiang Yi carefully as if carrying a few precious statues. Jiang Yi had suddenly become the savior to all of them. If it wasn’t for him, all these tens of thousands of soldiers’ soul spirits would fall forever into the demonic abyss; and their bodies would become zombies.

As the rescue operation was—more or less—wrapping out, a terrifying cry traveled from afar. A few formidable martial artists from the Xiao Clan suddenly looked pale; that cry belonged to Xiao Hong. To cry out so terribly while battling a Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast; could Xiao Hong still live to see another day?

“We can’t handle it! This Chaos Beast’s Netherworld Aura is too strong. All of you, flee!”

Mo Shangxing’s roar rang out as he also started to retreat. His responsibility was to protect Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi died, he would definitely be severely punished by the Earth Emanations Sovereign. The two Xiao Clan martial artists holding onto Jiang Yi jolted as their hands shook; Jiang Yi was shaken awake by the duo.

“Clan Head!”

A few of the Xiao Clan Heaven Emanations cried out bitterly. Seeing Jiang Yi awoken, one person shouted, “Lord Jiang, please leave together with Lord Mo. We will go and rescue the Clan Head!”

“Don’t go!”

Although Jiang Yi had woken up, he wasn’t in a daze but was extremely lucid. He had been in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and had known what was going on; he just didn’t bother.

His eyes shifted as he asked the approaching Mo Shangxing, “Lord Mo, if I can dispel the Chaos Beast’s Netherworld Aura, are you guys confident of killing that Chaos Beast?”

“You can do that?”

Mo Shangxing’s eyes lit up. Seeing Jiang Yi nod, Mo Shangxing immediately shouted, “Then, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and come and help us. As long as you can dispel the Chaos Beast’s Netherworld Aura, I will be able to kill it!”
