Chapter 34: Four Eyes
Editor: Hitesh_
"Break!" Facing the poor savage warrior who had been thrown at him as a human cannonball, Ji Hao dropped the axes, interlocked his fingers together then silently casted a spell; at the same time, he thrusted his hands forwards with his palms facing the savage warrior who was about to hit him.
The spell and hand gesture casted by Ji Hao made a connection with the vast nature power, which had now gathered into an invisible wall, shielding Ji Hao behind it. The poor human cannonball warrior exploded into a red cloud of mist accompanied by a loud bang once he collided against the invisible nature-powered wall.
The air shock waves even sent Ji Hao flying backwards.
Mr. Crow didn't take any action. He gripped Ji Hao's shoulder and gazed at the jungle behind the savage Senior Magus with his red and beady eyes without even taking a glance at the savage Senior Magus.
"Juicy little kid...You smell so good...Must be tasty!" The savage Senior Magus roared and strode towards Ji Hao. He was nearly a hundred feet away from Ji Hao; however, with a single step, he was now standing right in front of Ji Hao.
"Go away! You disgusting fat!" The horrible smell of the savage Senior Magus almost made Ji Hao throw up. He overlapped his hands with a frown and quickly stimulated his internal power. Soon, all of his internal power had condensed into a thumb-sized fiery lightning ball on top of his palm.
The fiery lightning ball then swelled into the size of a human head. Followed by an earth-shaking thunder, a ten-foot-long lightning darted out of the fiery lightning ball and struck right onto the huge fat belly of the savage Senior Magus.
The lightning instantly burned the dense black hair on the belly of the savage Senior Magus, and his dirty, oily skin laid bare. Countless sparks of lightning wrapped his body and made loud crackling noises. Some of the lightning sparks struck the ground and left hundreds of fist-sized holes.
The savage Senior Magus held his own stomach with trembling hands and staggered a few steps back. Although Ji Hao would never be able hurt the savage Senior Magus with his own physical strength, he had channeled the [Nine Secret Word] and borrowed power from the nature, which temporarily yet largely improved his power and strength. Even so, he still failed to cause any harm to the body of the savage Senior Magus. But he had successfully forced the savage Senior Magus back.
"Little bastard! I'm going to eat your brain!" The savage Senior Magus let out a roar and stamped down hard on the ground, causing an intense shaking which nearly made Ji Hao fall down.
Ji Hao rapidly retreated.
"Savage! This is our Fire Crow Clan's territory! Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Ji Ying flew towards Ji Hao with a spear held in his hand. His body was wrapped by a stream of fire which made him look like a fiery shooting star. He then landed in front of Ji Hao and firmly shielded him behind himself.
The spear made of mulberry wood was sparking and the obsidian spearhead was releasing a flame membrane. Ji Ying then lunged his spear at the chest of the savage Senior Magus for hundreds of times in the blink of an eye.
However, Ji Ying's attacks seemed to hardly hurt the savage Senior Magus. The savage Senior Magus stood firmly on the ground and put his palms together; a mace[1] tattoo on his right palm lit up, and then a mace appeared in his hand.
Ji Ying only had two awakened Magus Acupoints, while the savage Senior Magus had three of them. Judging from their physical strengths, Ji Ying was not the rival of the savage Senior Magus at all. The mace and Ji Ying's spear struck against each other; the impact pushed Ji Ying backwards and made him fall hard to the ground. A small part of Ji Ying's leather armour broke into pieces by the slight touch of the mace.
Along with a sharp wind, Ji Lang, who was guarding the back of the valley flew up to Ji Ying. Similar to Ji Ying, his body was wrapped by a stream of fire as well. He flashed across the air and switched position with Ji Ying, then leaped up and jammed his knees hard onto the face of the savage Senior Magus.
The face of the savage Senior Magus was smashed instantly. Blood spurted out from out his eyes and ears. He howled desperately, threw his mace away, and turned around, fleeing backwards with his face buried in his hands.
At this time, Ji Ying already stood back up. He held his spear tightly and dashed towards the savage Senior Magus at a lightning speed. In the next second, the spear went through the chest of the savage Senior Magus and pierced his heart. The savage Senior Magus screamed out, twitched a few times then fell onto the ground.
Thousands of savage warriors rushed out of the woods. However, all of them froze when they saw the savage Senior Magus lying on the ground and covered with blood. They were stunned at the sight of the savage Senior Magus, the most powerful warrior within their tribe. Their best warrior had been beaten, which had frightened them badly. They didn't know what to do next.
The savages were the robbers living in the jungle of the Southern Wasteland. They didn't have a homeland, they didn't know how to plant or raise animals. Neither did they have any idea about Maguspriests or elder Magi. They would eat every old or weak member of their own tribes. Just like wild animals, they moved around the Southern Wasteland jungle, robbed every clan they met and ate whatever they could find, including people.
The savage Senior Magus was the leader of this savage tribe, and was also the most powerful warrior among them. The rest of the savage warriors started yelling and screaming when they realized that their leader had already been knocked down.
Inside the dense jungle, a tall figure in black was standing in the shadow of a tree and murmured as it was dissatisfied, "Told you. These trashes are useless. They're even more stupid than animals! We have to do it ourselves if we want the prize."
The tall figure then walked out of the shadow and said, "Let's make it quick. The two Senior Magi just had their Magus Acupoints awakened, they're not bad. Besides, they're tall and pretty, those old ladies are gonna like them. They'll be worth a fortune!"
Another tall future walked out as well and said, "Let's do it together then. Catch them alive as quick as possible. And that little guy, he can cast a spell at such a young age...more importantly...look at that delicate face, someone's gonna pay a lot for that."
Ji Hao picked up the axe which was thrown on the ground by himself earlier and chopped the neck of the savage Senior Magus. He used all of his strength, chopped the neck of the savage Senior Magus hard for nearly a hundred times then finally beheaded him.
The body of the savage Senior Magus was still twitching intensely even after that. A while later, a huge stream of blood spurted out from his broken neck and the twitching stopped.
"Such a strong life force! And he was a Senior Magus with only three awakened Magus Acupoints!" Ji Hao exclaimed silently.
Then Ji Hao heard these heavy footsteps coming from the jungle. He suddenly sensed a murderous vibe.
Ji Hao then raised his head and saw two men walking out of the jungle. Both of them were over three meters tall and had worn full metal armours. Except their faces, all of their body parts were well protected by the exquisitely crafted armours, including fingers.
Their faces had an odd bronze colour. One of them was holding a bola[2] and the other one was holding a heavy sword.
Ji Hao stared at the faces of the two men in shock - Both of them had an additional pair of eyes located above their eyebrows. They were four-eyed people!
"Fight! Fight with your full strength! Damn! It's the Jia Clan warriors!" Shouted Ji Ying and Ji Lang simultaneously.

Ji Hao felt as if an electric current had passed through his body; there were goosebumps over his entire body and the tiny hairs on his body were all standing up. He detected all sorts of emotions contained in the shouts of Ji Ying and Ji Lang; tension, shock, and even a slight trace of fear.
Ji Lang and Ji Yang held their head high and their weapons tight, while taking three steps forward and faced the two clansmen of the Jia Clan bravely. They might not be aware of the fear buried deep inside their own hearts, but Ji Hao certainly was.
"Uncle Ji Ying, what the hell is the Jia Clan?" Ji Hao looked at the two four-eyed men walking quickly towards him and shouted to Ji Ying.
"Withdraw! Hao! Back!" Ji Ying gripped his spear and growled. Streams of fire spurted out from his body, his body turning almost translucent in the raging fire. "They're monsters from the Jia clan! Stay away from them!"
"Hehe...hehe..." The Jia Clan warriors curved their lips and chuckled in disdain.
Looking at the inhumane enemies, Ji Hao took a deep breath. The purple light spot which was condensed by his internal power appeared between his eyebrows and started rotating rapidly, continuously drawing the surrounding power of the nature into Ji Hao's body.
Ji Hao's body trembled a bit, after which he started reciting the [Nine Secret Words]. At that moment, Ji Hao's silhouette became hazy and indistinct. Followed by a muffled thunder in the air, Ji Hao pointed his left hand towards the sky and his right hand towards the earth. His pupils were shining with a chilling cold light. At the same time, a chilling wind blew across the air.
The ground under the feet of the two Ji Clan warriors started moving like water. Tens of arm-thick thorns of dirt thrusted out from the ground. The tips of these thorns were shining with the same chilling cold light as that in Ji Hao's eyes. Under the control of Ji Hao's power, the hardness of these thorns were greater than that of steel.
However, these sharp and hard thorns shattered into dust against the armours of the Jia Clan warriors. The Jia Clan warriors stood still, but their armours were shining without even a trace left by those thorns. Their mocking laughter turned louder and their eyes, colder.
"Ji!" Ji Hao snapped. All the plants in the vicinity began to shake suddenly. Hundreds of towering trees withered and collapsed, and large patches of grass were rapidly scorched. Only a few plants near the two Jia Clan warriors were wrapped by a green light and started growing madly; their leaves and vines expanded over hundreds of times in the blink of an eye. Under the influence of Ji Hao's magic power, these leaves and vines became as hard as rebar and coiled around the bodies of the Jia Clan warriors like serpents.
Those huge vines continued coiling around the Jia Clan warriors and wrapped them into a large green cocoon, after which it started wriggling and wringing, making a gravely raucous noise.
"Such a boring trick!" A cold and glib voice came from within the green cocoon. Just when the voice faded, the cocoon blasted open due to the power from the inside; countless pieces of leaves and vines were blown away by the power of the impact. The two Jia Clan warriors calmly broke loose from the cocoon and continued striding towards them.
"Hao! Step back!" Ji Lang growled. "These Jia Clan people are monsters! Only a Senior Magus can deal with them!"
Ji Hao didn't listen to Ji Lang. He interlocked his fingers together and channeled the [Nine Secret Words] in order. The power of the [Nine Secret Words] allowed Ji Hao to connect his own internal power to the power of nature. The nature power around him started rotating like an invisible whirlpool. A small spark emerged from the air then started a great fire around Ji Hao. Nine arm-thick and tens of feet long, fiery snakes darted out of the blazing fire and rushed towards the Jia Clan warriors, emanating great heat.
The fiery snakes hit right onto the chests of the Jia Clan warriors, but they didn't even blink when it happened. They only threw a mocking glance at Ji Hao and kept advancing. The nine fiery snakes exploded with a loud bang at the very next second, shedding sparks and smoke, and fell with a great splashes of fire near their heavy armours, failing to leave even a trace on them.
Ji Hao attacked the Jia Clan warriors over three times with all of his best sorceries. The lethality of his attack was even greater than that of an elite Junior Warrior's attack. However, the two Jia Clan warriors weren't harmed even a little bit. Ji Hao couldn't sense any magic power from the two Jia Clan warriors, which meant that they took all of attacks only with their strangely strong defensive capability.
"Shoot!"
Growls of a few Qing Yi Clan warriors came from behind Ji Hao. Tens of long arrows hurtled towards the Jia Clan warriors.
The Jia Clan warriors gave a scornful laugh, then closed their eyes. The Qing Yi Clan warriors were the best archers in the Southern Wasteland. The tens of arrows hit onto closed eyes of the Jia Clan warriors almost simultaneously, which gave Ji Hao a spurt of great joy. However, after less than one second, his heart sank heavily; he felt cold and hopeless like he was drowning in the Cold Stream in the middle of the valley.
All of the Qing Yi Clan warriors guarding the Cold Stream Valley were middle-level Junior Magi, even some elite Junior Magi. The arrows shot by them could easily puncture tens of towering trees over miles away. But just now, their arrows had clashed against the eyelids of the Jia Clan warriors!
The Jia Clan warriors blinked and shook off the dirt left by smashed arrows. After that, they took a few big steps forward, and walked up to Ji Ying and Ji Lang.
Ji Hao stared at the two Jia Clan warriors nervously. What kind of freaks were they? Even their eyelids were indestructible, like iron walls and had shattered the arrows of the best archers in the Southern Wasteland! Ji Hao thought.
Ji Ying rushed out ahead of Ji Lang. He leapt up from the ground, held his spear high and pierced towards one of the Jia Clan warrior's heart. At the same time, the spearhead spurted out a raging flame.
Ji Ying injected all of his power into his spear, causing a great might to be emitted from the spear. The earth started shaking intensely and the soil melted rapidly. Not long after, a thin layer of lava covered the ground near Ji Ying and spread towards the surrounding areas.
The Jia Clan warrior who was facing Ji Ying held the bola in his left hand and took a step sideways then twisted his body at a weird angle, and dodged Ji Ying's attack. The spearhead sliced through the air, an inch away from his face, but didn't touch even a hair of his.
Ji Ying had missed his target. Before he had landed back on the ground and was able to adjust his posture, the Jia Clan warrior threw a punch at his throat instantaneously. Ji Ying let out a very muffled moan, lost his breath and showed the whites of his eyes.
After that, the Jia Clan warrior raised the bola and heavily hit against the back of Ji Ying's head with it. Ji Ying shouted out in pain, fell hard on the ground, causing his body to tremble continuously.
"Ji Ying!" Ji Lang growled and jumped up, rushing towards the Jia Clan warrior who was standing in front of Ji Ying. The other Jia Clan warrior seemed to have already foreseen his plan; once Ji Lang moved his feet, he put a heavy shield, which had abruptly appeared from nowhere in front of his partner. Ji Lang hadn't seen this coming, he collided hard against the shield; his head broke instantly and blood spurted out.
Ji Hao's pupils constricted to the size of pinpoint when he saw what happened.
The attacks of these two Jia Clan warriors were so clean and straight. It seemed like they had practiced this thousands of times.
Ji Ying and Ji Lang, two powerful young Senior Magi were each knocked down by a single attack. Ji Hao felt as if the Jia Clan Warrior weren't even humans, they were instead akin to fighting machines!
