Chapter 271: Great Gift

“Cleanse the continent with blood!”

After hearing this statement, Principal Qi and the others above and below had this change in expression—especially Ling Xue. This Demon Empress was clearly trying to display her prowess! She wanted to take some reputation for the demon race: to give the humans a painful lesson—one that all the humans of the continent would remember for all ages.

The Azure Dragon Empire’s old ancestor had been severely injured by the Demon Empress, and she didn’t even seem to suffer any injuries. It was needless to say that the Demon Empress’ combat strength could simply suppress the old ancestor. This old ancestor had a combat strength that was comparable to Shui Youlan a hundred years ago. After secluding himself for a hundred years—even if he didn’t improve, he wouldn’t have taken a setback, right?

This proved something!

The Demon Empress’ combat strength was already the world’s no.1. Even if Shui Youlan and the other martial experts were to team up, they might not even be able to win. If she had the intention to cleanse the continent with blood, then... no one would be able to stop her.

Mastermind behind the scenes? Explanation?

Who would figure out the mastermind behind the scenes? Those who kidnapped the little fox were all dead: their corpses were either corroded or self-immolated. There was no trace of clues. Even if everyone had their theories and guessed who the mastermind was, they didn’t have any evidence!

Since they couldn’t find the mastermind behind the scenes, how were they going to offer an explanation? Who should be the one giving the explanation? Was it the Azure Dragon Empire or the Six Vassal Kingdoms? How were they going to present it?

The entire Stellarsky City was terrifyingly quiet at the moment—so quiet that if even a pin dropped, it could be heard. Everyone’s eyes were flickering as they didn’t know what to do.

“Ke-Ke!”

Right at this moment, Jiang Yi suddenly laughed, which attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone’s eyes lit up as though they had found their mainstay as they saw how calm Jiang Yi was. They instinctively placed all the hopes on Jiang Yi and wished for him to break out of this situation.

Jiang Yi was giving a splendid smile as he grinned and revealed his white teeth while he casually bowed with cupped hands. “Demon Empress, don’t act this way. You have already devastated a few kingdoms in the continent and slaughtered more than a few million lives, that should have given you quite a lot of prowess! Your Majesty, please be magnanimous, and let this matter go! If you are still angry... then you can beat me up, and I shall not resist!”

“...”

Jiang Yi’s negotiation flabbergasted everyone present. They all looked at one another, and all had this bewildered expression. Confusion!

What was the situation now?

When the Demon Empress declared that she wanted to cleanse the continent with blood, everyone was tensed-up; and the atmosphere was depressed to the extremity. Jiang Yi suddenly spoke so inappropriately when they were in mutual hostility? Even the humans couldn’t accept such a behavior—let alone the Demon Empress.

Did he think that this was like playing house with a group of children?

Did he know that he was facing against the emperor of the demon race? The true supreme martial expert of the continent? Was it really appropriate to speak in such a manner?

Everyone was shocked by Jiang Yi’s words. Was he truly not afraid that the Demon Empress would instantly kill him with a slap? Was he not afraid that she would just slaughter the entire Stellarsky City out of fury?

Jiang Yi was naturally not afraid!

At least... the Demon Empress wouldn’t kill him because he had a protective talisman, the little fox!

He spoke in that manner not because he was retarded; it was all after careful considerations. He guessed that the Demon Empress didn’t truly want to break off with the humans; otherwise, both the humans and the demon race would suffer huge losses!

The Demon Empress wanted some face!

She wanted the world to engrave this lesson into their memories. To never go provoke her and her daughter, or else suffer her thunderous wrath.

She had already ruined so many cities, killed so many people including Su Pingping, and even severely injured the Azure Dragon Empire’s Vajra Realm expert. She did take back a lot of reputation already.

Her intention was to say she didn’t want to fight anymore; she just wanted a stage to get off. Jiang Yi was providing that stage, allowing her to use him as an excuse!

“Ji-Ji!”

At this moment, the little fox was calling out non-stop in the arms of the Demon Empress, giving off a begging expression. It extended a furry front claw and incessantly pointed at Jiang Yi, seemingly communicating with the Demon Empress.

Everyone below had their hearts tightened up as they all looked at Jiang Yi, the Demon Empress, and that little fox nervously. Their lives were all in the hands of the Demon Empress.

“Sigh...”

The little fox called out a few times while the Demon Empress’ expression gradually got gentle. She let out a deep sigh and reached out to rub the little fox’s head. She shook her head and said softly, “Xiao Fei, why are you still so kind-hearted? Did you forget how those humans were preparing to deal with you? You are too kind-hearted... you will surely die in the hands of a human if your Empress Mother is no longer here!”

No longer here?

The Demon Empress spoke softly, and no one below could hear it, but Jiang Yi could. He blinked his eyes with some doubt as he knew that demonic beasts’ lifespan were normally several folds longer than humans. This Demon Empress still looked young and powerful; how would she die? Since she wasn’t going to die, why would she no longer be around?

“Ji-Ji, Ji-Ji!”

The little fox called out continuously with a pair of extremely humane eyes and abnormal resolution, which finally calmed down the Demon Empress’ expression.

She stayed silent for a moment and suddenly executed a palm strike. All the air in the surrounding congealed in front of her palm as a giant palm shadow took shape in mid-air. Her eyes turned cold as she yelled out, “Kid, since you want to suffer for the humans of the world, take my palm then. It would be up to your blessings to whether if you are able to survive it!”

“Tsk-Tsk!”

The palm strike had this aura that could destroy heaven and extinguish earth. As it whizzed down, it gave off a feeling that it was unstoppable. Principal Qi, Princess Ling Xue, and the others had this sudden change in expression while Jiang Yi’s expression also turned grave. He didn’t even have time to withdraw the Dragon Eagle as he immediately released all his Earth Fire and wrapped himself instantly with the Devil Sky Silk.

“Boom!”

As the palm shadow traveled, the entire air would shudder, causing ripples to radiate outwards. The Earth Fire was instantly extinguished once it made contact with the giant palm until it finally slammed down onto Jiang Yi who was wrapped with the Devil Sky Silk.

“Boom!”

Jiang Yi was smashed down by the gigantic force as he crashed directly into a loft. The Dragon Eagle below him didn’t even have the opportunity to let out a cry as it was instantly turned into mince. The giant palm continued to follow down and level everything in the nearby tens of meters of radius, leaving behind a giant palm impression!

“Jiang Yi!”

“Patrol Envoy Jiang!”

A lot of people exclaimed as Princess Ling Xue, Principal Qi, and the others were horrified. If Jiang Yi was dead, it would be a huge loss. He, who had such talent, might actually rise up to the pinnacle after several years.

“Withdraw back to Mt. Thirty Thousand!”

The Demon Empress didn’t even glance at Jiang Yi as she waved her hand indifferently, despite the little fox’s constant ‘Ji-Ji.’ She turned into an afterimage and flew in a straight path towards the southeast direction. The demonic beast army roared out at the same time as they quickly followed behind.

“Huuu...”

Princess Ling Xue’s body went soft as her legs staggered and nearly sat onto the ground. She immediately recalled something and shouted, “Quickly go tend to Patrol Envoy Jiang and see if he is alive.”

“Swish! Swish! ”

Several peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts, Principal Qi, and the others who far away already flew over. A peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert immediately dove into the ground and carried an individual in a bloody mess out as he exclaimed, “Alive! Patrol Envoy Jiang is still alive!”

“Wow!”

“Huh...”

Countless people were pleasantly surprised while there were more who had eyes of doubt. How could Jiang Yi actually survive such a horrifying palm which was able to leave such a giant palm impression?

“Quick! Bring him into the Imperial Palace and seek treatment from Master Hong. Ask him to bring Patrol Envoy Jiang back to life at all costs!” Ling Xue immediately yelled out delicately. Because she was too imperative, even her voice sounded shaken as she had this emotional expression.

Principal Qi and the others looked at one another while their eyes lit up. They had all understood something.

This Demon Empress... seemed to have intentionally given Jiang Yi a great gift? She had given Jiang Yi enormous respect. If she truly wanted to kill him, even ten Jiang Yi’s would be dead!

“Since you want to suffer for the humans of the world...?”

When recalling this statement made by the Demon Empress, everyone was even more certain. The Demon Empress hid the gratitude she wanted to give to Jiang Yi for saving her daughter and gave him the merit, allowing him to become the hero of humans, the savior of the continent, and for everyone in the world to be grateful to him!
