Chapter 53

"Stronger from the Ma Family?"

Jiang Yi was awakened by the roars of the strong man from the mountain and Jiang Rulong. His gaze, sharp as a blade, swept toward Jiang Rulong, a flash of killing intent in his eyes. He stopped pursuing the remaining warriors of the Ma Family and, like an arrow, shot toward Jiang Rulong.

The Ma Family had arrived, and it was a Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse. After he had crippled Ma Hei and killed so many of the Ma Family's disciples, would the Ma Family's powerhouse let him off? Jiang Yi didn't know how powerful a Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse was, but he was clear that he was no match for him. So, he wanted to take as many people down with him before he died.

"Swish!"

As he passed by Ma Hei, the Qingming Sword flashed again, slicing across his other leg and stabbing into his dantian in a lightning-fast motion...

He didn't kill Ma Hei but left him a complete cripple, which was more painful for him than death. The Elder Jiang Yunhai had told him from a young age not to provoke trouble for no reason, but if someone provoked him, he must never show mercy. He must make the enemy tremble with fear and ensure that all enemies feared him, not daring to provoke him!

"Jiang Yi, you're dead! Brother Ma Yin is here, you're dead!"

A voice filled with venom sounded, drawing Jiang Yi's attention as he was about to charge toward Jiang Rulong. His gaze swept over and saw it was Ma Fei, and he sneered, leaping toward him like a mad dragon.

He had been so engrossed in the slaughter that he hadn't noticed Ma Fei hiding to the side. Was this boy as stupid as a pig? In such a situation, he should have stayed hidden, yet he dared to threaten? Since he hated him so much, he could overcome his fear, so let him hate even more!

"Swish!"

The green short sword sliced through the air like a green ribbon, sliding over Ma Fei's body. With a scream, the already crippled Ma Fei couldn't avoid it, and one of his arms was cut off at the elbow, and the Qingming Sword also severed one of his legs...

"Ugh!"

Jiang Rulong and the Jiang Family disciples were terrified. This usually meek and useless person had such courage and cruelty? He killed and maimed without a change in expression, his hands not trembling, cutting people like slicing watermelons...

"Ugh!"

Several Jiang Family disciples vomited again. Many, like Jiang Song, wanted to go down the mountain, to escape this hell on earth, but their legs felt weak, and with Jiang Rulong not moving, they didn't dare to act.

"Jiang Rulong!"

Jiang Yi tore off the black cloth on his face, wiping the blood from his eyes and eyebrows, smearing his face with blood, making him look even more terrifying like a demon. He stared at Jiang Rulong and the others, walking toward them with large strides, the Qingming Sword in his hand dripping with blood, the green light on it making people shudder.

"Jiang Yi, you have committed a heinous crime. If you stop now and bind yourself, you still have a chance to live. Otherwise, you and your little servant will surely die!"

Jiang Rulong was also afraid as Jiang Yi approached. Perhaps he had doubted Jiang Yi's strength before, but now he had to admit Jiang Yi's power. How could someone who could defeat Liu He and cripple Ma Hei be the same useless person?

He had thought about fleeing, but hearing Ma Yin's roar, he feared being mistaken as Jiang Yi's accomplice, causing a battle between the Jiang and Ma Families. Plus, he believed that with Jiang Xiaonu as a hostage, Jiang Yi wouldn't dare to act rashly.

However, seeing Jiang Yi's speed increase and his killing intent grow, he immediately regretted it. He retreated while shouting, "Jiang Yi, what are you doing? Are you going to kill us? Do you want to fight your own clan? Kill your own people?"

"Retreat!"

The other Jiang Family disciples, seeing Jiang Rulong retreat, quickly followed in terror, many cursing. But two of them were still vomiting, their faces filled with fear, unable to move...

"Swish!"

Hand raised, sword fell!

Two arms flew, and two bodies rolled on the ground in agony. Jiang Yi didn't stop, continuing to charge forward, his gaze sweeping over the terrified faces of the Jiang Family disciples, laughing, "Fight your own clan? Kill your own people? To hell with you! Who among you considers me a clan member? If you considered me a clan member, would you repeatedly target me? Would you kidnap Xiaonu to force me out of the competition? Would you collude with outsiders to harm me? Since you don't consider me a clan member, why should I consider you as such? Since you want to kill me, why can't I kill you?"

"Swish!"

Jiang Yi's speed suddenly increased, charging into the group of Jiang Family disciples. They were already terrified, their combat ability less than a third of their usual, and with Jiang Yi's abnormal reaction speed and increasingly efficient killing techniques, he moved through them like they were not there. Wherever the Qingming Sword swept, an arm or a leg would fly...

"Whoosh!"

A signal flare shot into the sky, and Jiang Rulong was thoroughly frightened. He finally realized the situation and took out a Jiang Family emergency signal flare, shooting it into the air. The Jiang Family was at the foot of the West Mountain, and if they could hold off Jiang Yi for a while, they still had a chance to survive.

"Master Long, Jiang Qi is coming, hold on!"

A roar sounded from the mountain, and Jiang Rulong's spirits were instantly lifted. This was a Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse from their lineage. Once he arrived, they would be safe!

"Brother!"

At this moment, a fat figure shot out from the small forest, holding a blood-covered little girl. Seeing Jiang Yi slaughtering, he panicked and shouted, "Jiang Yi, stop immediately, or I'll kill Jiang Xiaonu!"

Jiang Yi glanced at Jiang Ruhu, his expression unchanged, and sneered, "Kill, kill! If you kill her, I'll dismember you all! Do you think... I and Xiaonu can survive today?"

Before coming up the mountain, Jiang Yi had indeed planned to save Jiang Xiaonu at all costs. But after crippling Ma Hei and knowing that a Purple Mansion Realm powerhouse from the Ma Family was on the way, he had given up that thought. Since he and Jiang Xiaonu couldn't escape today, what did he have to fear?

"Jiang Rulong, die!"

Jiang Yi chopped off Jiang Song's leg, leaped high, and charged at Jiang Rulong, his gaze fixed on him, completely ignoring the dagger hanging from Jiang Xiaonu's neck.

Seeing Jiang Yi charge madly, Jiang Rulong had no choice but to take up his long sword to defend. But his eyes flicked, and his sword flashed, not blocking Jiang Yi's short sword but aiming for his head, shouting, "Ruhu, cut off the girl's limbs!"

Jiang Yi wasn't afraid of Jiang Ruhu killing Jiang Xiaonu, but he couldn't just watch her limbs be cut off, right? Once he went to save Jiang Xiaonu or was distracted, Jiang Rulong would have a good chance of killing Jiang Yi!

"Good!"

Jiang Ruhu's eyes gleamed, understanding Jiang Rulong's intent. He raised his dagger and fiercely slashed at Jiang Xiaonu's arm.

"You dare!"

Jiang Yi was indeed distracted, his gaze sweeping toward Jiang Xiaonu, his body turning to charge toward her, seemingly forgetting the long sword coming from behind.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Rulong's eyes shone like stars, his long sword slicing through the air, aiming for Jiang Yi's head.

But—

Just as the long sword was about to hit Jiang Yi's head, his body suddenly crouched down, a leg sweeping backward, and his other hand holding the Qingming Sword, stabbing upward. He shouted, "Jiang Ruhu, your brother is dead!"

The long sword ultimately hit Jiang Yi's back, but Jiang Rulong's bulky body was also swept down by Jiang Yi's leg, and as he fell, the Qingming Sword stabbed upward...

"Swish!"

Blood gushed from Jiang Yi's back, and Jiang Rulong's chest was pierced by the Qingming Sword, blood gushing from his mouth. His eyes wide with disbelief, he couldn't understand how Jiang Yi, who was distracted by Jiang Xiaonu, could have such precise timing. Was it all a ruse to kill him?

"Brother!"

Jiang Ruhu's dagger was about to fall but stopped mid-air, shouting in terror, "Jiang Yi, if you kill my brother, I'll kill this girl."

"Bang!"

Jiang Yi's elbow struck Jiang Rulong, sending him flying. He endured the tearing pain from his back, shrugged his shoulders, and sneered, "Your brother won't die immediately, but with a hole in his chest, he'll be dead in two incense sticks. Let Xiaonu go, and I'll let you live."

"Spit!"

Jiang Rulong was indeed pierced in the chest, blood gushing from his mouth and chest, but it was clear he hadn't hit his heart, or he would already be dead.

Jiang Ruhu's eyes flicked, but he still didn't dare to release Jiang Xiaonu, holding her neck tightly with one hand and a dagger to her chest with the other, trembling, "Jiang Yi, I'm not well-educated, don't trick me! If I let her go, you'll definitely kill me."

"Cough, cough!"

Jiang Xiaonu, who had been unconscious, finally woke up due to Jiang Ruhu's tight grip. She coughed violently, her eyes scanning the area, and upon seeing Jiang Yi, her eyes lit up, exclaiming, "Young Master, is it really you? No... Young Master, run!"

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Yi's face showed a gentle smile, looking at Jiang Xiaonu, but with blood all over his face, he looked terrifying. A flash of determination in his eyes, he charged toward Jiang Xiaonu and Jiang Ruhu, shouting, "Xiaonu, Young Master can't save you. Young Master will kill everyone and die with you!"

"Qi Shao!"

"Long Shao!"

At this moment, two roars sounded from a distance, two figures flying like eagles, their shouts deafening Jiang Yi and Jiang Ruhu.

"Jiang Yi, catch!"

Seeing the figures in the distance, Jiang Ruhu, like a man falling off a cliff and seeing a vine, was overjoyed, throwing Jiang Xiaonu to the side and throwing his dagger at her. If Jiang Yi went to save Jiang Xiaonu, he would have enough time to wait for Ma Yin and Jiang Qi to arrive.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Yi didn't turn, but threw the Qingming Sword, continuing to charge like a mad dragon. A black-blue glow shone on his iron fist, and with a full-force punch, Jiang Ruhu's head exploded like a watermelon...

"Clang!"

The Qingming Sword accurately hit the dagger thrown by Jiang Ruhu, and Jiang Xiaonu's body safely rolled to the ground. But Jiang Yi's face showed no joy, only a bitter smile as he looked at the two figures approaching, asking, "Xiaonu, are you afraid to die with Young Master?"

Jiang Xiaonu was thrown to the ground, her body in agony, but her face showed no fear. Instead, she smiled, showing her cute little tiger teeth, and nodded heavily, "Dying with Young Master is the happiest thing!"
