Chapter 108: Double-Edged Sword

The Divine Martial Kingdom had the Seven Great Clans. All of them were clans that had existed for more than ten thousand years; some had an even longer history than the Divine Martial Kingdom, along with a strong foundation. Why were the Empress Dowager, Empress, and Crown Princess all from the Zhangsun Clan? It wasn’t because all the descendants of the Zhangsun Clan had looks that could topple kingdom and cities, but because the Zhangsun Clan was too formidable. If the Royal Clan wanted to govern the lands with peace, they needed the support of the Zhangsun Clan.

The Seven Great Clans had resided in this continent for more than ten thousand years, and the clans had permeated throughout the entire Divine Martial Kingdom. Most of them had hidden spies that were placed in various organizations.

It was obvious!

Mentor Xiao and the two other mentors were the spies from the Zhangsun Clan. Zhangsun Wuji had put out a death warrant, and it was so grave that they would have to eliminate Jiang Yi even if they had to expose their identities!

Jiang Yiliu’s mother was Zhangsun Wuji’s aunt; thus, this arrangement wasn’t appropriate for Jiang Yiliu to arrange. It was best that Zhangsun Wuji was the one who arranged it… such that even if they were exposed and the Western Garrison Liege Lord knew of it, there would not be many consequences.

The three mentors weren’t afraid of exposing their identities, they were only afraid that they wouldn’t be able to kill Jiang Yi even after being exposed. Su Ruoxue’s strength was rather competent and could even slay such a formidable demonic beast like the Ice Beast, which was why they were naturally worried about. But now that the two assassins had come, how could they miss out such a great opportunity?

“Die!”

Mentor Xiao’s longsword brandished a sword flower; his killing aura that resembled a rainbow rushed towards Jiang Yi like a berserk ferocious beast. On the other side, the assassin had his essence force revolve his fist as he entrapped Jiang Yi with his horrifying presence.

Two-pronged attack!

And it was from two experts that were above the fifth stage of the Purple Mansion Realm!

Jiang Yi abruptly retreated, turning his Green Destiny Sword into a sword rain that covered the sky and obstructed the two of them from approaching. But his speed was too slow, Mentor Xiao and the assassin caught to him in an instant. With their two-pronged attacks, they forced Jiang Yi into a corner where retreat was impossible!

“Jiang Yi, be careful. Ah…”

When Su Ruoxue saw that Jiang Yi was in danger, she exclaimed but got her arm slashed by one of the mentors due to her distraction. Fresh blood spurted, and her delicate face let out this distorted and painful look.

“Mentor Su!”

Jiang Yi bellowed. The crossbow that was hidden within his sleeve couldn’t be held back any longer as it shot towards Mentor Xiao’s left chest.

“Hmph! I have been on guard against you!”

The reason why Mentor Xiao didn’t dare to attack with his full force was that Jiang Yi had slain two Purple Mansion Realm assassins. Now that Jiang Yi finally showed his trump card, Mentor Xiao let out a scoff as he dodged to the side.

“Is it so?”

Jiang Yi laughed as he ignored the attack from the assassin. He used his legs to launch himself off the cliff as he burst towards Mentor Xiao. He swiftly circulated the Exploding Essence Palm to attack at Mentor Xiao who just did a turn.

“Pong-Pong!”

Two sounds of explosions echoed as both Mentor Xiao and Jiang Yi flew backward. Mentor Xiao was blasted off by Jiang Yi while Jiang Yi was hit by a palm strike on his back by the assassin.

“Pfff!”

Jiang Yi rolled a few rounds on the ground and stood back up to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. He looked at the assassin who spurred towards him, at Mentor Xiao who didn’t suffer any grievous injuries, and Mentor Su who suffered multiple injuries. There was this boundless and ruthless aura that surged his heart. Following which, this ruthless aura began to transform into a killing aura, and his eyes swiftly turned red. Those eyes turned redder and redder—as red as blood!

“Massacre Intent!”

Su Ruoxue’s eyes lit up. She originally intended to forcefully use her secret arts but now switched over to defense instead. She wanted to see exactly how strong Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent was!

“En?”

Everyone felt a chill in their heart. As Jiang Yi’s killing aura became more intensive, their expression looked more awful. This killing aura was just like a massive mountain pressing down on them… so much that they felt suffocating.

“Die! Everyone must die!”

Jiang Yi was seriously injured, but his body was bursting towards and taking huge steps with the frail body. The assassin could feel that Jiang Yi was like a huge figure that was impossible to win against!

The assassin, who was originally rushing towards Jiang Yi, now paused in place. Because his heart couldn’t bring out any battle intent and could only look at Jiang Yi rushing over while cleaving at his head with the Green Destiny Sword.

“Ah?”

Right before the moment of his death, he finally woke up from the daze and wanted to retreat. However, his body was rooted to the ground, and his legs felt weak and soft. When he saw that the Green Destiny Sword was thrusting from above, he wanted to use his fist to block it; but he found out that his hands were also weak and were in no condition to block.

“Bang!”

The blade of Jiang Yi’s Green Destiny Sword pierced right into the head of the assassin. Mentor Xiao and the other attackers all got stunned, thinking of why the assassin didn’t block. Why did he allow Jiang Yi to kill him just like that?

Soon enough, Mentor Xiao knew of the reason—because Jiang Yi looked towards him. Earlier when Mentor Xiao was facing against Jiang Yi, he didn’t feel the fear; but once he looked at those bloody eyes, even his soul was trembling. It was a kind of instinctive fear akin to a lion meeting a gigantic dragon and the former getting oppressed by the latter’s vicious prowess. He couldn’t feel any power from his soul to his flesh and couldn’t bring out any heart of resistance!

“Bang!”

The Green Destiny Sword drew across the air and stabbed right into the head of Mentor Xiao, creating a deep pit in his forehead. With a twist of the Green Destiny Sword, his head instantly burst apart; and he couldn’t be deader.

Massacre Intent!

The two mentors and the assassin looked at one another in the eyes and saw fear within. Their minds all had the same name appearing in them; he was an absolute master that existed more than ten thousand years ago. He relied on this fearsome killing aura to massacre an entire army of a million. The two mentors immediately understood that it was because Jiang Yi once got in touch with the restrictions on the Divine Monument of the Heaven Monarch of Massacre.

Flee!

The three of them didn’t have any hesitation. Although they could feel a mountain pressing on them, they still used their entire strength to escape. They knew it clearly that if they didn’t flee now, only death was waiting for them!

However, the three of them realized something when they tried to run: their strength had been oppressed too much that their speed was that of a snail. Jiang Yi’s speed, in contrast, was like a violent wind that had easily caught up to them. The Green Destiny Sword flashed and took their lives as easily as harvesting the rice straws.

“Die! Die!”

As the kill count increased, the red glow in Jiang Yi’s eye intensified. He glanced around and soon locked his eyes onto the female cadet who hid under the carriage. With swift footsteps, he was about to kill this cadet.

“Buzz!”

Su Ruoxue, who had yet to move an inch, suddenly had this demonic purple glow in her eyes. The two purple rays flashed and went straight into Jiang Yi’s mind, causing his body to fall with a loud thud and his mind… unconscious.

“You take a rest and forget everything that happened tonight.”

Su Ruoxue walked over to that female cadet who almost went insane because of fear. Su Ruoxue hit her on the back of her head, causing her to go unconscious as well. She then walked over to the side of Jiang Yi and took out a recuperation elixir for him to consume. Looking at Jiang Yi’s blood-drenched face, she subtly sighed. “This Massacre Intent is too formidable. Once Jiang Yi releases it, I think that only those martial artists at the peak stage of the Purple Mansion Realm could withstand it, right? A pity… after trying to comprehend it for such a long time, he still doesn’t know how to take control of it. This Massacre Intent is like a double-edged sword. If I wasn’t around for these two incidents, he would probably die from the frenzied power of massacre.”

“Chirp-Chirp!”

A loud and clear chirping of the birds could be heard. Su Ruoxue frowned and thought why would there be birds flying over after Jiang Yi released such a horrifying killing aura?

“Swish!”

She was soon attracted by the countless figures that rushed over here from a distance. The Exploding Essence Palm and horrific killing aura that was released by Jiang Yi obviously alarmed the nearby mentors and guards. The Mountain-Piercing Mouse must have already been slain; hence, these mentors and guards were able to come over so quickly.
