Chapter 1894: One Man Against a City | Red Heart Survey [Translation]

Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 1, 2025

They often say military families are heartless, military families are heartless, but after witnessing thousands upon thousands of deaths repeatedly, death becomes something that makes people numb!

Since his debut, Jiang Wang had experienced the battle of Qi Yang, the battle against the White Elephant King on Ding Wei’s floating island and Ding Jingshan, the battle of Star Moon Plain, the battle of Qi Xia, the great battle between the Human and Demon Races in Wu Nan…

He repeatedly earned military merits and was even ennobled as a marquis based on his achievements.

He had a clear understanding of the cruelty of war early on and had seen too much life and death.

But when he and Wu Duqiu arrived at Xin You’s third floating island, he still remained silent for a long time. Here, fresh blood was channeled into streams, and white bones were dismantled to make fences.

Human heads were paved into roads, winding across the floating island.

Looking down from a high place across the vast floating island, one could see that all the buildings on the island had been leveled. All Human Race magic arrays were destroyed, and anything of value that still existed was scraped away. Not even a complete square brick could be seen.

Looking into the distance, only at the very center of the floating island were there three huge mud pits, firmly positioned in a three-talents formation. Looking closely, it wasn’t mud, but human blood and flesh.

It was stirred into such a thick consistency, still bubbling and gurgling incessantly.

There was indeed no need for Sea Race armies to garrison here, because there was nothing left here. Roads paved with human heads connected these three blood and flesh mud pits and extended outwards from them. So, from outside this triangle of mud pits, a total of six roads extended.

These were terrified faces, painful and helpless faces, all turned towards the high sky of the floating island.

All these sights on the floating island were not just a totem of terror. They seemed to point to some magic array, as if nurturing some terrifying things.

Wu Duqiu covered his face and remained silent.

As the deputy island master stationed on Xin You’s first floating island, the first floating island was the strongest force of the Human Race in the Xin You area. He and Mo Shiyi bore responsibility for the entire Human Race in the Xin You area!

As a general’s shame, nothing was worse than losing territory and people. The hatred between life and death had not yet reached the point where corpses were abused.

He was still injured, still wore bloody clothes and held a broken sword, but he was unable to defend the land and arrived how many steps late! And Jiang Wang had already stepped onto the floating island, walking in this real and concrete hell.

The smell of blood filled his nostrils, his ears seemed to hear howling sounds, the world was a purgatory before his eyes. He walked forward step by step, along the roads paved with human skulls, approaching those blood and flesh mud pits.

With every step he took, a breeze would blow, lifting those painful heads one by one. *Whoosh~*

The sound of the wind was the only sound on Xin You’s third floating island. Wu Duqiu’s pain was silent.

Jiang Wang’s footsteps were silent.

When he finally walked to the blood and flesh mud pits, the wind that swept across the entire third floating island also lifted all the human heads simultaneously.

A dazzling red color flew up. Fire flowed in the wind, paying tribute with a torch. “Ya! Ya! Ya!”

Strange, sharp roars suddenly erupted from the blood and flesh mud pits.

A strange evil beast, with an unusual appearance, rushed out from the bottom of the mud pit. Its body was like a huge loach, yet it had a hundred feet like a centipede. It had a row of inverted curved bone spurs on its back, with black threads at the bottom and fine holes at the tips, like breathing, steadily spraying out foul-smelling poisonous gas.

Most eye-catching were the boils on its head, like a hat. The skin of the boils was wrinkled, and through several cracks, fleshy mud continuously overflowed.

This species was not seen in the *Sea Beast Records*.

Perhaps it was a new war beast cultivated by the Sea Race.

Obviously, this creature survived and grew by devouring the blood and flesh of the Human Race.

Who knew how many corpses were pounded into fleshy mud after their bones were drawn out to create such blood and flesh mud pits, and to raise such evil beasts!

Those destroyed roads of human heads obviously affected some arrangement present in this place, and also affected the growth of this evil beast, causing it to temporarily stop eating, poke out its head, and stare intently at Jiang Wang with that disgusting single eye on its forehead, still dripping with pus.

Before it completely leaped out of the blood and flesh mud pit.

Its single eye on its forehead was ignited by a red flame one step ahead!

Flames spread on the body of this evil beast, rapidly covering this blood and flesh mud pit and extending towards the other two.

In an instant, the muddy blood color turned red. “Ya ya ya!”

“Ya ya ya!”

Terrifying sharp voices rose one after another.

In these three blood and flesh mud pits, such evil beasts drilled out one after another. The blood and flesh mud pits seemed bottomless, and the spined evil beasts seemed endless!

The poisonous gas sprayed from the tips of the bone spurs was originally thin, but when they touched each other, they suddenly thickened, their toxicity heavy, leading to illusions of evil beasts in the void!

Jiang Wang’s golden body and jade marrow suddenly felt a chill.

This was poisonous gas that could potentially threaten Shen Lin cultivators!

If such evil beasts were unleashed on the battlefield, and their numbers increased to a certain degree, the poisonous gas would be so dense… Their ferocity was hard to imagine.

Jiang Wang’s eyes turned reddish-gold, his line of sight directly swept around a large circle, following a dazzling line of fire, enclosing all three blood and flesh mud pits within.

He flipped out the Bi Fang Seal with his left hand. Within the illusion of the single-footed divine bird, roaring flames suddenly rose.

The line of fire pulled high became a curtain of fire, like an upside-down red cover, tightly locking those continuously drilling evil beasts and the rapidly invading poisonous gas within the cover.

Three Flavors True Fire, drawing the ground to make a prison!

These war evil beasts, cultivated using the blood and flesh of all Human Race members on Xin You’s third floating island, of course had more abilities than just poisonous gas, but under Jiang Wang’s full urge of the Three Flavors True Fire, they fundamentally had no space to display them.

Their bodies and bones, like snow meeting the scorching sun, rapidly dissolved in the flames!

Those thick, inseparable black poisonous gas were also burned into white smoke by the flames, burned into nothingness. This fire was incomparably scorching and the more it burned, the more intense it became.

The more it burned and killed, the fiercer it became!

It still took over ten breaths to burn and kill the first spined evil beast.

After ten breaths, they were almost burned upon touch, not even given a chance to scream.

Jiang Wang had never urged the Three Flavors True Fire so without reservation. He always pursued ending the battle in the most appropriate way at the most appropriate time.

But at this moment, the fire in his heart could only be burned with the flames outside his body!

Red fire wandered on his body, flying across the entire floating island.

Roaring flames almost burned rainbow shadows out of the void!

They burned and killed the spined evil beasts and also burned the blood and flesh mud pits.

Hundreds of evil beasts were wiped without a trace, and later not even screams were heard. And the three blood and flesh mud pits continuously sank, sank, sinking madly towards the bottom with the speed of the flames’ attack.

In this process, spined evil beasts still continuously jumped out, still being ruthlessly wiped out. “Who is it!?”

Just at the bottom of the blood and flesh mud pit before Jiang Wang, an angry voice suddenly sounded.

The muddy blood and flesh surged, rapidly gathering into a figure. With a raised palm, it actually forced the roaring flames into the air!

From within this body of blood and flesh came a sinister voice: “How dare you disturb this king’s pet island?”

Still inside the flowing fleshy mud, a pair of blood-colored eyes suddenly opened, looking up at the red-gold eyes projecting down from above the blood and flesh mud pit!

“Human Race?”

Beneath the blood-colored eyes, a nose and lips gathered out of the blood and flesh.

This was a sinister face, representing Yu Guangyuan, one of the strongest heavenly prides among the Blood King descendants.

He still thought it was some ignorant Sea Race member who had intruded, not expecting that with the current situation in the Xin You area, his pet island could still be disturbed by the Human Race!

His mouth opened, revealing sharp teeth: “Bat Mountain King is really a waste! When this king returns, I will definitely skin him and pull out his tendons!”

Flames roared, burning away all pain and filth. The blood and flesh mud pits had by this time been burned into deep pits.

Jiang Wang stood at the edge of the first deep pit, lowering his head to overlook this strong figure gathered from blood and flesh at the bottom. He firmly remembered the appearance of this Sea Race strong one in his heart: “Bat Mountain King? This marquis has already acted on his behalf.”

The temporarily gathered strong one made of blood and flesh laughed ferociously: “Actually a marquis! Respect and inferiority are ordered, kings and marquises are different. Since a marquis sees a king, why not bow?”

Jiang Wang looked at him expressionlessly: “This marquis’s title comes from the world-hegemon country. This marquis’s position is recognized by the present world. Holding mountain rights, water rights, decreeing heaven and sealing land. What kind of king are you?

Sealed where? The Vast Sea’s one hundred ninety-eight sea trenches?”

Yu Guangyuan narrowed his eyes and sneered: “Shameless thief, do you really think you are the master of the present world? The Human Race is such a disgusting creature, consistent from ancient times to now!”

Jiang Wang’s eyes were calm, his voice even calmer: “Rats in the sewer proclaiming themselves king… It’s bound to make people laugh.”

At the bottom of the blood and flesh mud pit, those blood-colored eyes were momentarily wildly violent, but then restrained into a heartless indifference: “Dare to mess with this king’s pet island, dare to bare your teeth at this king, don’t mind reporting your name.”

The flame light reflected the sky behind Jiang Wang red, as if tying a long cloak on him. This scene would definitely not disappear from Yu Guangyuan’s world.

And his voice was also clear and distinct, only returning two words—”Jiang Wang.”

Yu Guangyuan was slightly stunned for a moment, his eyes again becoming wild: “Hehe hehe hehe, you are that Human Race arrogant fate?! Marquis Wu An of Qi Country?”

Jiang Wang slightly frowned: “Arrogant fate, what is that?”

“Ha ha ha ha!” Yu Guangyuan threw his head back and laughed: “Well said, arrogant fate is nothing! I’m starting to like you a little!”

Jiang Wang said faintly: “You are not even as good as arrogant fate, much less anything.”

The wild laughter suddenly stopped, he looked at Jiang Wang coldly: “These hundred-foot thorn poison beasts are just the advance payment… Wait until I come find you.”

“You certainly won’t get lost,” Jiang Wang said.

Those flames that lingered in the air for a long time, only now crashed down and emptied the entire blood and flesh mud pit! Wu Duqiu flew closer at this time, and said seriously: “This guy should be Yu Guangyuan, the strongest among the Blood King descendants, madly strong, nothing is beyond him. Many of the Sea Race’s war beasts are created by him… If he came over, it’s no wonder the third floating island fell silently.”

With the quality of a general, he calmly analyzed: “Yu Guangyuan did not participate in the siege against the first floating island, one reason is that he believed the Sea Race forces here were already sufficient, another is probably that he had more important things to do. Combining the existence of these hundred-foot thorn poisons that he calls, and the status of the third floating island, I think he was constructing some ceremony, seeking a breakthrough.”

Jiang Wang did not speak, a bean-sized heart fire jumped at his fingertips, lightly jumping a few times, rotating madly at his fingertips! The flame grass bowed its head, as if in mourning.

He didn’t have so much leisure time to chat idly with Yu Guangyuan. Every sentence and every look was just to remember Yu Guangyuan’s divine soul, to brand his sense.

At this moment, the flame light illuminating the floating island gradually dimmed.

Jiang Wang retracted his fingers, walked straight forward, flame flowers flying, his green robe like a dance. This bean-sized heart fire crashed into his red pupils! *Long~*

This was a sound that only existed at the divine soul level, an echo.

A crystal-clear thought, like a precious drill pearl, flew into the Contain God Hall.

The god sitting on the throne stirred open his palm, letting this thought fall into his palm.

In an instant, a bit of blood color spread open. Within the crystal-clear thought, a sinister, mad face was clearly reflected, every detail clear, exactly Yu Guangyuan.

Thought after thought unforgettable, like dust tied to the heart. This thought was an immortal thought!

This was the most peak level shown since this secret technique was created. Jiang Wang would not wait for Yu Guangyuan to find him.

Because – he wanted to go find Yu Guangyuan!

No matter how many mountains passed, no matter how many boundary rivers there were.

Fetid wind and bloody rain would also be met.

“Do you have a crossing bridge?” Jiang Wang closed his eyes and felt for a while, then opened his eyes and asked.

Wu Duqiu took out the crossing bridge from his storage box: “Only this one, prepared to go to other realms for aid.”

Jiang Wang did not take it, turned and walked outwards: “Take me to the nearest sea nest.” Wu Duqiu was slightly stunned, did not say any nonsense, and immediately flew.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, cut through the long sky and the distance. Behind them.

Endless flame light expanded and contracted back, collecting into a tiny point. Xin You’s third floating island burned out, leaving no trace from this point on.

Wu Duqiu was from a proper military background, fighting his way up in the strong army of Great Qi. He was familiar with military strategies and formations, had read through military books and classics, and regarded all past famous generals and famous campaigns as family treasures.

What he admired most in his life was Duke Hou’s suffocating, iron-wall-like push-forward war method. He had not been in the Mi Jie for long, but he was already proficient in the Sea Race’s combat plans.

He was rottenly familiar with dozens of commonly used war formations and hundreds of uncommonly used war formations of the Sea Race. He knew how to respond to all of them.

He had deep insights into how to strike and break sea nests, how to transform sea nests, how to utilize the Mi Jie environment, how to maximize advantages…

Striking and breaking a sea nest was a major project.

Things like luring the snake out of its hole, building bridges and offering roads, shifting Feng Shui positions, crashing the sea and shaking the mountains, according to the situation, were various and not limited.

He didn’t know that war could be fought like this.

Marquis Wu An let him lead the way, without a word along the way, not asking for any intelligence.

Wait until they were outside Xin You’s second sea nest, Marquis Wu An only said one sentence, retreat. *Boom!*

Wu Duqiu felt the entire Xin You realm shake.

His body and soul were momentarily stiff, as if placed in an endless empty vastness. Terrifying vital energy chaos flow almost made him unable to stand steady.

And then he saw.

Frost wind floating into a white cloak, red fire flying and flowing, dancing across the sky. Red-gold pupils eternally indestructible like gods and demons.

Five blazing lights rushed into the sky and crashed into the ground like fierce suns.

A long sword seemed to come from the sky, breaking the heaven’s pillar.

It crashed directly onto the sea nest, onto the great array protecting the nest.

Wu Duqiu dared not believe all that was before his eyes, seeing the entire military-equipped, ferocious, evil, huge sea nest, shaken raw by this one sword!

Four star towers lifted the heaven’s dome. Endless starlight pressed the heaven low!

This day, Wu Duqiu saw the heaven’s dome in the chaotic Mi Jie, and then saw the heaven tilt.

He saw the truly liberated power of the Marquis Wu An of Great Qi, with the Heaven-Tilting Sword, powerfully bombarding the sea nest again and again! No matter what bone spears, what flame arrows, what flying stones.

No matter what spells, what war beasts, what kind of Sea Race weapons. Before this sword, all became empty!

*Boom! Boom! Boom!*

Like the legendary Yan Luo crashing the gate!

The great array protecting the nest covering the entire Xin You second sea nest turned to ashes in the last bombardment. Following that, was the fear spreading throughout the entire sea nest!

Although the main forces of the Sea Race in the Xin You area were strongly defeated outside the Human Race’s first floating island, killed until the defeated soldiers scattered and blood flowed into rivers.

But the necessary garrison forces within the sea nest still existed, and the energy of the great array protecting the nest was sufficient. Whether floating islands or sea nests, they were all military fortresses, comparable to strong cities in the present world.

And Jiang Wang now…
