Chapter 843: Chapter 648 Revenge Begins_2
Long Yi’s killing of Jenna, the Emperor’s tutor of the Sanctuary Empire, was definitely a disgrace. And disgrace can only be washed away with the enemy’s blood!
At this moment, in The Divine Auffa Empire, Ai Lin also received the related news. However, she was very happy because the plan to disrupt the entire Plane had been at least half successful. She had never expected Jenna to have the guts to go after Long Yi, and Long Yi’s decisive killing was certainly the best boost.
But at this time, Long Yi’s whereabouts were unknown, and the Sanctuary Empire’s army of one hundred thousand was eyeing him covetously. Could Long Yi really handle this on his own?
Then, before long, the first battle between Long Yi and that army began without any warning.
At that time, Long Yi was walking on a street in a certain city, in a certain country, on a certain planet. Long Yi had not bothered to remember the names of this planet, nation, city, and street; after all, these names would soon become irrelevant and vanish from his brain. He only knew that there was an old Mage who had put a bounty on his head living here, and this place was the closest to the Stellar Realm’s Arena that had such an old Mage.
Long Yi’s appearance was very foreign here, both his looks and his attire stood out. Though Long Yi was very tall and bulky, he was still noticeably bigger than the local inhabitants.
This made him quickly recognized, and then, the Sanctuary Empire’s search party promptly arrived.
Long Yi headed straight for the old Mage’s residence that he had inquired about, but on his way, he was surrounded by a dozen people.
Three warriors, enveloped in Fighting Aura. The rest were Mages, who had cast all the enhancement Magic on themselves before surrounding Long Yi, and their coordinated movements clearly showed they were well-trained.
"Long Yi! You are now surrounded by the regular army of the Sanctuary Empire, disarm immediately and surrender! Lie down with your hands on your head!" a Mage shouted loudly.
Almost at the same time, people on both sides of the street screamed and scattered.
"Is this place, your Sanctuary Empire’s territory?"
Long Yi looked around with his hands spread out.
"The Sanctuary Empire has already notified all the nations on this planet. We will be hunting you down here! We can move freely at any time, anywhere! Don’t even dream of someone coming to your aid! Under the majesty of our great Sanctuary Empire, nobody dares to defy our authority!" the Mage said with pride, but hearing this, Long Yi felt like laughing.
"I have felt your majesty, but as for the strength of your handful of people, I’m not impressed. If you want to make me stay, you’re going to have to try a lot harder," Long Yi said.
"Lie down immediately, hands on your head! This is your last warning, otherwise your life will be in jeopardy!" the Mage continued to shout.
"No, I think for the sake of your own lives, you had better leave quickly, otherwise it’s your lives that will really be in danger," Long Yi said.
"Hmph! You’re seeking your own death! Charge!" the warrior shouted loudly, and all the Mages immediately took action.
"I say, didn’t your officials tell you before you came here that I just killed a Sanctuary Mage?" Long Yi laughed, cast a series of magical defenses for himself, and summoned Crystal Stone Armguards to block the three warriors’ attacks.
"Nonsense! Don’t listen to his gibberish! Kill him!" the leader of the warriors yelled.
"Don’t believe it? Okay then, since I’ve said all the good words and you still won’t listen, you can’t blame me." Long Yi shrugged helplessly, directly summoned his Crystal Greatsword, and pulled out the Destruction Staff. He sent out a Destruction Ripple with one hand while several Sword Qi struck out at the same time.
How could these people have seen the Destruction Ripple before? They thought it was merely a normal Magic and tried to block it with their Mana shields, only for the Destruction Ripple to immediately shred the shields, and at the same time, several people. Then the remaining ones realized that Long Yi’s strength was indeed as strong as he claimed!
"Steady! I have already sent a signal to the troops behind us, they will arrive soon!" the Mage who had spoken earlier shouted.
"And the people behind you? How many?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
"A thousand!" yelled the mage, hoping the number would be enough to scare Long Yi away, since Long Yi was but one man. However, Long Yi just chuckled lightly, "A thousand? Not bad, not bad. Go to your deaths in peace; I assure you I won’t go anywhere."
The commander in charge of the search here was named Saint Caran. Although his name also contained the word "Saint," he was only marginally related to the royal family, and despite this connection, without much talent or strength, he had become a minor commander capable of leading a thousand men—if he were an ordinary person, he probably wouldn’t even qualify as a competent soldier.
Just a moment ago, they received a distress signal from a scouting squad; they had actually discovered Long Yi! Saint Caran felt some apprehension, for while the higher-ups had deliberately not informed the soldiers about Long Yi, he himself knew. How could a man who had single-handedly slain Sanctuary mages be easily dealt with? The reason Saint Caran had taken on this assignment was because he thought Long Yi wouldn’t come here; after all, this was the planet closest to the Stellar Realm Arena, and Long Yi was being hunted by The Divine Auffa Empire. Surely everyone knew that he would be searched for here, right?
But what Saint Caran hadn’t expected was not only for Long Yi to have come here but also to have recklessly engaged the scouting squad in conflict!
Since they had found him, they couldn’t just not show up, could they? Thus, Saint Caran led a group of soldiers and charged over; after all, we have a thousand men! Perhaps Long Yi would turn and run upon seeing us?
With this belief in mind, Saint Caran finally arrived at the street. There stood Long Yi, not having gone anywhere. All members of the scouting squad had perished.
Spotting Saint Caran from a distance, Long Yi bared his teeth in a grin, "Good, you can go in peace now, I really didn’t leave. I’ve been waiting for you all along!"
In truth, Saint Caran really wanted to run now, but as the commander, to flee upon encountering the enemy? Absolutely unacceptable!
"Long Yi! Surrender at once! You are completely surrounded by the regular forces of The Divine Auffa Empire, there’s no escape!"
Saint Caran shouted loudly.
"Cut the crap, and let’s start the fight." Long Yi had heard enough of these clichés.
But Saint Caran, as if he had not heard him, continued to shout, "I’ll say it again, you are surrounded by the grand army of The Divine Auffa Empire, with nowhere to flee! Surrender is your only way out!"
"But here’s the thing, I’m not even trying to flee." Long Yi really didn’t understand, was the other guy an idiot?
"I repeat! You are already surrounded by..."
"Are you sick in the head or are your ears just for breathing? Can’t you understand what I’m saying? I’m telling you, let’s start the battle!" Long Yi made a provocative gesture that was very popular in The Divine Auffa Empire. The soldiers immediately bristled with righteous indignation, but Saint Caran hesitated.
"How about this—if you’re really scared, why don’t you just honestly get lost? Don’t try to act heroic here, wasting my time," Long Yi was at a loss. He had thought there would be a major battle, an opportunity to test the strength of this so-called regular army. But the commander turned out to be a coward!
"The enemy is too powerful! We retreat!"
Saint Caran somehow mustered the words, then turned and left.
The soldiers around him looked at each other in confusion, but since the commander had left, they naturally couldn’t disobey the orders. So, the thousand soldiers that had surrounded Long Yi left just as they had come, puzzling Long Yi even more.
This commander was indeed a coward.
With the distractions gone, Long Yi went straight for his target. The old mage was hiding in the basement of his luxurious mansion, thinking himself safe under multiple seals, believing that no one could find him. But in the end, Long Yi managed to drag him out from underground.
Thus, the first old mage was slain by Long Yi, and then Long Yi immediately rushed to the next planet. (To be continued.
