Chapter 56

"Ah——"

Upon hearing Jiang Yi's words, Jiang Yunshe and Ma Yongji both let out a scream. Jiang Yi had confirmed what Jiang Qi had said. The two had lost their beloved children, and the Ma family had suffered even more, losing a talented descendant who had a high chance of becoming a special student at the Spirit Beast Mountain Academy!

Both of them were not young anymore. Perhaps they could still take a few concubines and have one or two sons to carry on the family name, but the pain of burying their children almost drove them to the brink of collapse. In their hearts, although Ma Fei and Jiang Ruhu and Jiang Rulong might have had some flaws, they were absolutely pure and kind children. How could Jiang Yi dare to kill them?

The other members of the Ma and Jiang families were also filled with anger. Regardless of the cause, Jiang Yi was already beyond redemption, a complete madman and devil!

However, some people were not focused on these aspects but on Jiang Yi's strength. Many people from the Jiang family had seen Jiang Yi being bullied all day half a year ago. In just half a year, he could not only defeat Jiang Rulong but also win on the arena against Liu He and Ma Hei? Now, he could even kill a Purple Mansion Realm practitioner like Ma Yin?

If everyone could be like Jiang Yi, then the martial arts system of this world would have been in chaos long ago, and everyone would be a world-class genius. It is well known that a Cauldron Casting Realm practitioner almost never has the ability to kill a Purple Mansion Realm practitioner, let alone when Jiang Yi only had the strength of the fourth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm.

How did he do it?

This question floated in many people's minds, but they didn't have to think about it for long because Jiang Yunshe's body shot out like a mad lion.

Jiang Yunshe was at the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm, and killing Jiang Yi was as easy as crushing an ant. Since Jiang Yi was already a dead man, there was no point in investigating too much.

"Little slave, it seems we still have to die on the Jiang family's territory."

Jiang Yi sighed deeply, gently placing Jiang Xiaonu to one side, and walked a few dozen feet forward, standing indifferently on the mountain path. As Jiang Yunshe shot towards him, he did not run away, nor did he prepare to resist. Was he closing his eyes, waiting for death?

"Brat, I will tear you to pieces!"

The strength of a seventh-level Purple Mansion Realm practitioner was indeed incomparably powerful. It took him only a dozen breaths to reach the halfway point of the mountain. His eyes were red, and his body was filled with a killing aura. One of his hands, like a dragon claw, shot straight towards Jiang Yi's abdomen, clearly intending to destroy his dantian and then slowly torture him to death.

Jiang Yi still had his eyes closed, but the powerful aura from Jiang Yunshe made his body tremble slightly. Without even opening his eyes, he could feel a huge claw coming at him like lightning, and even from a few dozen feet away, a chill swept over his body, freezing him to the bone!

Three feet, two feet, one foot!

"Jiang Yunshe, if you want to kill me, you will have to pay a price!"

At this moment, Jiang Yi's eyes suddenly opened, and his left hand swung, shooting out a green short sword like a flying knife. A black-blue light flashed from his right sleeve, and he swung his fist like a tiger descending from the mountain, aiming for Jiang Yunshe's claw.

"Trying to struggle at the brink of death?"

Jiang Yunshe's eyes turned cold, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He was known in Tianyu City for his cunning and deceit. Jiang Yi's tricks were not even worth mentioning. He casually waved his hand, sending a powerful force that easily knocked the green sword away. As for Jiang Yi's punch, it seemed to him like a tickle, with no real threat.

"Boom!"

However, just as he was about to grab Jiang Yi's hand and crush it, his eyes suddenly narrowed. He felt a hint of danger from the black-blue essence energy swirling in Jiang Yi's palm.

"This boy's martial technique has increased in power several times? No wonder he could kill Ma Yin!"

Jiang Yunshe's heart trembled, but he was not panicked. His hand immediately transformed into 5927 palms, and essence energy surged from his body, colliding with Jiang Yi's punch.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion, a powerful shock wave raised a cloud of dust, and the surroundings were in chaos. Jiang Yi's body flew backward. His already wounded body was now completely bloodied, and he spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air, finally crashing into the mountain path, causing the ground to tremble.

What shocked the countless people below was that Jiang Yunshe was also pushed back a dozen feet, and there was a trace of blood on his hand. Although he was not seriously injured, it was clear that he was hurt!

A fourth-level Cauldron Casting Realm practitioner fighting a seventh-level Purple Mansion Realm practitioner and getting injured?

It was absurd!

Despite Jiang Yunshe's carelessness, everyone had to admit that Jiang Yi was a freak. That punch had at least the power of a second-level Purple Mansion Realm practitioner!

"Brat, die!"

In front of so many people, being injured by a fourth-level Cauldron Casting Realm youth, Jiang Yunshe's face became even uglier. His body quickly shot up, and his other hand aimed for Jiang Yi's dantian.

"It's over..."

Jiang Yi was now too weak to even open his eyes. His essence energy was almost depleted, and his body was in excruciating pain. He didn't even have the strength to commit suicide. He could only watch helplessly as Jiang Yunshe destroyed his dantian. But since he was going to die anyway, what difference did it make?

"Shh—"

Jiang Yunshe's hand easily pierced Jiang Yi's abdomen. Many people below showed cruel smiles, but a few turned away, unable to bear the sight of such a genius being destroyed.

"Hum!"

A red light suddenly shone from Jiang Yi's abdomen, and a powerful aura that made everyone's souls tremble came from his dantian. Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Jiang Yi, but what they saw was an incomparably shocking scene!

A brilliant red light shone from Jiang Yi's abdomen, and in an instant, it condensed into a huge fire dragon in the air. The fire dragon was several dozen feet long, vivid and lifelike, especially its cold eyes, which made everyone shudder with fear. The most bizarre thing was that...

The moment the fire dragon appeared, the entire space around seemed to freeze, and everyone was immobilized!

"Ah..."

Jiang Yunshe's body was right under the fire dragon's shadow. His hand was still in Jiang Yi's abdomen, and he couldn't understand why a fire dragon shadow appeared when he was about to destroy Jiang Yi's dantian.

"Shh!"

He didn't have time to think. The fire dragon roared silently in the air, and in a flash, it charged at Jiang Yunshe. Jiang Yunshe was so terrified that his soul almost shattered, but his body couldn't move. He could only watch helplessly as the fire dragon enveloped him.

And then... there was nothing more!

Jiang Yunshe's body mysteriously turned to dust, silently floating in the air, and the fire dragon disappeared without a trace, as if it had never been there. If it weren't for the wound on Jiang Yi's abdomen, slowly oozing blood, everyone would have thought they had just had a nightmare.

"This..."

Jiang Yi, who was already weak, now had his eyes wide open!

He was also shocked, but he quickly regained his composure. No one knew how the fire dragon appeared, but he had a vague idea. When he looked inward, he saw that the dragon-shaped seal on his dantian had disappeared!

When Jiang Yunshe tried to destroy his dantian, a powerful fire dragon shadow suddenly appeared, killed Jiang Yunshe, and then the dragon-shaped seal on his dantian disappeared.

Connecting these events, Jiang Yi reached a conclusion he couldn't believe—his powerful seal on his dantian had released a powerful ability at the critical moment, killing Jiang Yunshe, and the seal was completely removed.

As for why the seal could release a fire dragon shadow, why Jiang Yunshe turned to dust, and what this powerful ability was, Jiang Yi couldn't figure it out.

The entire scene was silent, a deathly silence!

At this moment, everyone could move again, but no one dared to. Only after confirming that the fire dragon shadow was completely gone did they let out a long, relieved breath. The powerful aura of the fire dragon shadow had made them feel as if they were facing a Golden Body Realm practitioner, even though they had never seen one...

"What do we do?"

Ma Yongji and Jiang Yunshi exchanged a glance, both filled with fear and caution. If they rushed forward and another fire dragon appeared from Jiang Yi's body, burning them to dust, it would be a disaster!

"Let's go for it!"

After a moment, the anger in Ma Yongji's mind overcame his reason. His eyes turned, and he roared, "Jiang Yi must have learned evil techniques. He is a sorcerer from the Heavenly玄国 (Xuan) Kingdom. Everyone, throw your weapons and kill him!"

According to legend, there were sorcerers in the southern Heavenly Xuan Kingdom who could use bizarre evil techniques. The Heavenly Xuan Kingdom and the Divine Martial Kingdom had been enemies for tens of thousands of years. Ma Yongji's roar made everyone overcome their fear and realize that Jiang Yi, being only at the fourth level of the Cauldron Casting Realm, could not have killed Ma Yin and Jiang Yunshe unless he was a sorcerer. The terrifying fire dragon shadow could only be explained by evil techniques!

"Kill Jiang Yi, kill this spy of the Heavenly Xuan Kingdom!"

Everyone roared, taking out their weapons or finding large rocks nearby, and threw them at Jiang Yi with all their might. Jiang Yunshi and Ma Yongji didn't dare to get close, but their weapons shot straight at Jiang Yi like arrows. If the fire dragon shadow didn't appear again, Jiang Yi would surely die!

Would the fire dragon shadow appear again?

Obviously not, and Jiang Yi knew this best. Because there was no longer a single seal on his dantian or in his body! Looking at the weapons and rocks flying towards him, Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and closed his eyes, waiting for death.

"Chirp!"

At this moment, a sharp whistling sound made Jiang Yi's eyes open again. His face lit up, thinking the fire dragon shadow had appeared again, but his eyes were full of surprise when he saw what it was!

A crescent-shaped purple aura flew from the western sky, like a blade of energy, shooting towards them. Before it even reached them, its terrifying aura enveloped everyone. The aura was filled with endless killing intent and pressure, not as terrifying as the fire dragon shadow, but still extremely oppressive.

"External essence energy, a Divine Traveler Realm practitioner!"

Ordinary people didn't understand what this meant, but Jiang Yunshi and
