“Eh? Yun Lu actually changed his direction? Is the exit on that side?”

Once Yun Lu made a move, Jiang Yi was immediately alerted. He didn’t really bother about it as there were too many mutated beasts in the surroundings. He had to maintain a high level of concentration; otherwise, he might just be killed by one of these beasts.

Swish!

With eyes like lightning, he locked onto the space on the left as his body lit up in white light and instant-shifted again. His pace of instant shifting was already at the limit, and there was no buffer time to rest in-between. To release such ability at such high intensity would definitely bring about serious consequences. His soul spirit was deeply exhausted, and his eyes were dazzled. With all the mutated beasts around, it was an extremely dangerous situation.

Swish! Swish!

Just as his body reappeared, a slender tail was drawing across the air like a whip that came from heaven. This speed of the tail was too fast, and it felt as though the space was slashed apart, like a longsword cleaving into the water—there were ripples in the air which was abnormally horrific.

“Binding of Wind!”

Jiang Yi did everything as usual and cleaved with his sword while the leftover Earth Fire poured out from the Fire Spirit Pearl. His body then flashed with white light again.

Roar! Roar!

The Binding of Wind didn’t really affect this mutated beast, but that tail made contact with the Earth Fire and instinctively pulled back. There was this howl of agony from a distance, and Jiang Yi took this split moment of buffer time to instant-shift away.

“There are still six kilometers. Yun Lu, die!”

Jiang Yi’s body was surging with killing aura, his eyes were blood red like the infernal devil, and his blood red hair was fluttering in the wind—making him looked just like a demon which walked out from the netherworld.

Back at the outskirts of Summer Rain City, all his hair had instantly turned blood red which he originally wanted to dye black. Su Ruoxue said that he had a much more manly charm like this; thus, he didn’t go dye it. He personally didn’t mind about his outer appearance, and the one he loved didn’t mind about it either. To those that he didn’t like, he couldn’t be bothered to care about them.

Swish! Swish!

As Jiang Yi pulled the gap closer, Yun Lu’s sinister expression intensified. He had the Witch God’s token, and there was a powerful existence in the bottom of the ice sea which wouldn’t kill him—but would definitely kill Jiang Yi.

The ice sea was just ahead, and so Yun Lu was feeling very excited. Jiang Yi had been the nightmare during this period of time, and Jiang Yi humiliated him in front of so many people at the Glory Hall, causing to lose all his face. Jiang Yi then pursued him over ten thousand miles, killed all his guards and forced him into this forbidden ground.

If he didn’t kill Jiang Yi, he would be able to sleep in the night with ease as he was frequently shocked awake by Jiang Yi’s blood red eyes in his dream.

Thirty kilometers, 20 kilometers, 10 kilometers!

The distance from the iced sea was getting closer, and Yun Lu’s heart was feeling tensed-up. There was still over three kilometers between him and Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi wanted to catch up, he would still need some time. Jiang Yi was constantly instant-shifting while the mutated beast continued to chase him in a frenzy. This maintained the distance between them. These mutated beasts weren’t the same as demonic beasts as they seemed to be lacking spirit wisdom. Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent didn’t have a great impact on the mutated beast, and so Yun Lu wasn’t really feeling the threat.

Tsk-Tsk!

In the next moment, Yun Lu realized he was wrong again. Jiang Yi instant-shifted again and abruptly swung the longsword in his hand. The air instantly vibrated violently as several wind dragons whizzed over and caught up to the mutated beast he was riding on, causing its speed to instantly decrease.

“Faster! Faster! Faster!”

The boundary of the iced sea was right ahead, but the ice beast was getting slower. If this carried on, he would not be able to reach the iced sea before Jiang Yi kills him. He immediately roared out and urged the mutated beast.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi’s body constantly vanished and reappeared, chasing over with horrific speed. His blood red eyes were just like the soul reapers from hell, who were rushing over to claim Yun Lu’s life.

“No…”

There was still 300 meters away from the iced sea, and he would be able to step in and alert that horrific existence under the sea. Jiang Yi had already instant-shifted over, and his dreadful killing aura caused Yun Lu to suffocate.

“Die!”

Jiang Yi burst out with a yell as he swung his Fire Dragon Sword down at Yun Lu. There was a red radiance which instantly turned into tens of thousands of smaller fire dragons, all targeting Yun Lu. The fire dragons that covered the sky had aura presence which incinerated everything. Yun Lu was just a few hundred meters away; how was he going to dodge?

“It’s all over…”

Yun Lu had been enveloped by the Massacre Intent and was immobilized; could he even dodge this? He looked on at the fire dragons that flew over and closed his eyes with despair. His face was written with regret and resent.

He was so close—just one step away!

Buzz!

Right at this instant, the surface of the ground shook; and an extremely terrifying aura presence came from the nearby iced sea. The instant that aura presence could be felt—the entire space frozen. Even the mutated beast that Yun Lu was riding on which had such low spirit wisdom could instinctively feel fear. Its four limbs immediately knelt down and prostrated on the ground.

All the small fire dragons which Jiang Yi shot out were actually annihilated by this aura presence, vanishing without a trace. They were like flames that were extinguished by a violent wind.

“Ah? Alerted—that powerful existence has actually been alerted. I am saved! Hahahaha…”

Yun Lu was originally in despair, but his eyes suddenly opened up. He was still immobilized by that powerful aura presence, and his soul spirit was feeling extreme fear. However, right now, his eyes were bright as the stars; and his face was ecstatic as he laughed hysterically.

“This…”

Jiang Yi was originally suspended in mid-air. He was currently suppressed on the ground, and his waist couldn’t even be straightened. His eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the shaking iced sea. His heart was abnormally appalled; he knew that such a powerful aura presence definitely didn’t come from an ordinary mutated beast.

“Demon king! It’s a peak-grade demon king, one that could break through as the demon thearch at any time!”

He quickly realized that the Witch God had once tamed a demon king in the Netherworld Forest. Xiao Hong once mentioned that demonic beasts had an extremely long lifespan, and demon kings had a lifespan that was more than one thousand years while demon thearchs could easily live up to three thousand years. This demon king’s aura presence was only slightly weaker than the Demon Empress; it was normal for it to live more than three thousand years.

Peak-grade demon king!

Jiang Yi felt a moment of helplessness. His Fire Dragon Sword’s attack was already executed, but it was scattered by this demon king’s aura presence. It was obvious how powerful this demon king was. Jiang Yi reckoned that it was comparable to a fifth-stage Vajra Realm expert, and such a powerful being would certainly be able to kill him in an instant.

“Demon king!”

He Lao, who was in the distance, trembled as well. He understood that the higher floor they went, the more dangerous it would be; and they might very well perish on the fourth floor. Once this demon king appeared, he was still frightened; and his eyes revealed a trace of despair and unwillingness to resign to his fate. It was fine if he had perished, but it was a pity for Jiang Yi to die. He would be letting down Zhan Wushuang’s expectations.

“Hahaha!”

There was silence everywhere, and all the mutated beasts didn’t dare to move, only Yun Lu’s unbridled laughter could be heard as it echoed non-stop. With the token glowing in Yun Lu’s hand, it was possible for the demon king to spare his life; but Jiang Yi and He Lao had to die.

“Die!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes had a flash of frenzy. He had to kill Yun Lu even if he had to die, and so he didn’t have any hesitation. His Fire Spirit Pearl had a flash of light as his final piece of Fire Spirit Rock appeared, and Jiang Yi used all his strength to blast it forward.

“Haha, ah? No, no…”

Yun Lu’s laughter suddenly went silent. His eyes kept on widening as his ecstatic expression quickly turned into despair.

The demon king’s aura presence was powerful, and it could suppress and immobilize everyone. This Fire Spirit Rock was too dominant as it flew in a straight line. Yun Lu’s body burned up before it was even near him. He let out a hysterical shriek, and his body ultimately turned into ashes while the mutated beast below him swiftly got incinerated as well.

“How dare you!”

An aged voice echoed. It was a voice without any emotions, like the netherworld god in the nine netherworld realm. The thick ice on the ice sea burst open, shooting ice blocks into the sky. A giant demonic beast then revealed its sinister face.
