“Run!” Xiao Baiyi suddenly summoned all of his strength and roared, his violent movements causing his injuries to worsen. The Emperor Qi around his body immediately dispersed, and a boundless Demonic Qi poured into his mouth and nose, causing him to show signs of becoming a demon.
A painful roar came from Xiao Baiyi’s mouth as he tried his best to maintain a trace of clarity, his eyes trembling violently as they were gradually replaced by a pitch-black color. Just as his eyes were about to be completely filled with darkness, he suddenly let out a bitter smile and desperately pushed his strength.
His body swelled up and with a loud bang, he exploded, sending bits of flesh and blood flying in all directions. It was as if a flower had blossomed under the tree.
Yang Kai roared towards the sky, his voice filled with grief and indignation, his Emperor Qi surging violently as his eyes turned red.
The roar came to an abrupt halt as he looked around coldly and said in a gloomy voice, “Lei Gu, if I don’t tear you to pieces, I swear I won’t be human!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lei Gu’s laughter.
Yang Kai flew into a rage, his million swords releasing a brilliant light that slashed out in all directions, cutting into the darkness and disappearing. As the sword light leaked out, Yang Kai’s mood became more unstable, his eyes becoming redder, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
“Senior Brother Yang…” A soft and uncertain voice called out from behind him.
Yang Kai didn’t even look at it as he turned around and slashed out with his sword. The ten-meter long sword light easily broke through the figure protective Emperor Qi.
Gazing over, Murong Xiaoxiao, who was covered in blood, stared at him blankly, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. Immediately after, a line of blood appeared from between her brows to her chin, and with a loud bang, it split into two, spilling her blood and innards all over the ground.
Yang Kai’s breathing became heavy and his blood-red eyes widened slightly, but that was all.
The surrounding black Qi surged into his body, but he didn’t seem to notice it, and after a while, his entire body became filled with Demonic Qi.
Lei Gu’s voice rang out again, “How does it feel to slaughter fellow disciples? How does it feel to fall into the Demonic Path?”
Yang Kai turned a deaf ear to this and simply waved his hand mechanically.
One after another, familiar or unfamiliar figures came from all directions, but all of them were mercilessly cut in half by Yang Kai. In less than ten steps, all of them had become enemies, and the ground was soon filled with corpses.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Yang Kai panted as he held his million sword. Black Qi swirled around his body and his eyes turned pitch black. Even though his cultivation had reached the Second-Order Emperor Realm, he couldn’t maintain this unrestrained flow of energy for too long.
In the darkness, two figures stood, staring towards Yang Kai through the thick Demon Qi. These two were none other than Lei Gu and Feng Ming.
“Almost,” Feng Ming asked.
Lei Gu frowned, seemingly a little uncertain, but it seemed there was nothing wrong with him. However, for the sake of caution, he slowly shook his head and said, “He possesses the Dragon Clan’s bloodline and has a natural resistance to Demonic Qi, so it’s best to be careful and wait.”
Feng Ming said, “It’s not like the Dragon Race hasn’t experienced a demonic upheaval before, not to mention that his Dragon Race bloodline isn’t very pure. If he didn’t have a flaw in his state of mind, he might have been able to resist for a while, but accidentally killing his fellow disciples caused his heart demons to rise greatly. Now that he’s trapped in this boundless Demonic Qi, it’s already quite rare for him to be able to persist for so long. I think he’s completely fallen into a demonic state.”
Lei Gu nodded, “That’s true…” He was still a bit hesitant.
Feng Ming took the initiative to say, “I’ll go take a look. This person is rare, if I can use him, it will definitely be a great contribution in the future.”
“Be careful!” Lei Gu warned.
Feng Ming nodded and his figure flickered as he walked towards Yang Kai. He didn’t act carelessly, although he was almost certain that Yang Kai had become a devil, he still remained vigilant and prepared to retreat at any moment.
As he walked, the boundless Demonic Qi took the initiative to open up a path, revealing a scene shrouded in darkness.
The distance between them was less than a hundred meters, so Feng Ming carefully observed Yang Kai’s situation while slowly moving forward. In a short time, he arrived three meters in front of Yang Kai. Without any warning, he suddenly formed a claw with his hand and grabbed towards Yang Kai’s chest. A faint sound of air being torn apart could be heard from his claw, a clear sign of its extraordinary power.
With a ‘chi’ sound, the claw pierced into Yang Kai’s chest, causing blood to spurt out.
Yang Kai remained motionless, as if he couldn’t feel any pain.
Seeing this scene, Feng Ming couldn’t help chuckling. He could now confirm that Yang Kai had really become a devil. Just like how he had killed so many people without hesitation, including several of his “fellow disciples”, how could he resist the erosion of Demonic Qi when his heart was in turmoil? And from the outside, it seemed that the boy had indeed been entangled by Demonic Qi, so his actions just now were just a final test.
If he had only pretended to be possessed, he would definitely have reacted to his fatal blow. Now that he had not resisted at all, it meant that he had succeeded.
On the other side, when Lei Gu saw this scene, he let out a sigh of relief. This time, he could finally make a report. Originally, he didn’t know how to report the matter of the Southern Domain to the higher up, but now, as long as he could capture Yang Kai, he could completely offset this mistake.
This person was proficient in Space Force and also possessed some Dragon Clan bloodlines, which would be of great use to him in the future.
Feng Ming had already retracted his hand, causing Yang Kai’s chest to bleed profusely, but his expression remained blank as he walked around Yang Kai and examined him carefully. Feng Ming nodded and said, “Good, good, good.”
Standing in front of Yang Kai again, he suddenly took out a black box from his bosom. It was unknown what material this box was made of, but it was neither gold nor jade. Opening the box, a seed-like object appeared. The seed was pitch black and was only the size of a green bean, but it gave off a clear Soul fluctuation, as if it was not a seed but a person.
Feng Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed the seed, gently pushing it towards Yang Kai’s forehead.
The moment the two came into contact, the pitch-black seed attached itself to Yang Kai’s forehead, as if it had come to life, pushing towards Yang Kai’s head and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, in Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea, a figure appeared. This figure was wrapped in black Qi and was constantly twisting, making it impossible to see its facial features.
“Is this how you possess others?” A voice suddenly asked.
The black shadow was startled and turned his head towards the source of the voice, only to see Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar floating quietly in the sky above his Knowledge Sea, holding a long blade in its hand and looking towards him with a mocking smile.
“You’re not demonized!” A hoarse voice rang out, making it difficult to tell if it was a man or a woman, but it was filled with disbelief.
Seeing Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar, how could he not know that he had been tricked? If Yang Kai really became a devil, his Soul Avatar would definitely become a devil as well. As long as he could devour Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar, he would be able to occupy Yang Kai’s body.
How was this possible? Yang Kai’s physical body had clearly been completely corrupted by the Demonic Qi, so how could he still maintain his consciousness? He was even waiting for him here.
Moreover, after Feng Ming’s attack just now, Yang Kai had not resisted at all, how could Yang Kai be certain that Feng Ming would not take this opportunity to take his life? What audacity!
“If you don’t enter the tiger’s den, how can you obtain a tiger’s cub?” Yang Kai grinned at him, revealing his fierce fangs.
The black shadow’s figure flickered and transformed into a black mist, wanting to escape from Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea.
However, in this world, Yang Kai was the master of everything, so it was easy for him to come in. But if he wanted to leave, he would need to obtain Yang Kai’s approval or use an even stronger force to tear through his Knowledge Sea’s defences. Although the black shadow’s strength was extraordinary, it was only a strand of Demonic Consciousness. Without the support of his physical body, it was impossible for it to exert its full strength, so how could it break through his Knowledge Sea’s defences? For a moment, it was like a ferocious beast trapped in a cage, rushing left and right, unable to even communicate with the outside world.
Yang Kai pointed his Soul Slaying Blade towards him with a cold expression.
Being locked onto by this aura, the black shadow clearly felt a great catastrophe looming over him. Although he didn’t have a physical body, his body still felt cold. He was quite decisive and knew that he couldn’t escape from someone else’s Knowledge Sea, so he simply turned around and rushed towards Yang Kai, seemingly determined to die together with him.
“Slash!” With a low shout, the Soul Slaying Blade transformed into a blade light and slashed towards the black shadow.
A bloodcurdling scream rang out as the black shadow that was rushing towards them split into two and then exploded into nothingness.
Finishing off the Demonic Consciousness that had invaded his Knowledge Sea, Yang Kai’s expression became solemn as his Soul Avatar left his Knowledge Sea.
In the darkness, Yang Kai opened his eyes and moved his pitch-black eyes, a faint expression appearing on his stiff face.
Feng Ming stood in front of him with his hands behind his back and nodded, “Let’s go.”
Without the slightest doubt, he turned around and left. Looking at his back, Yang Kai really wanted to stab him to death, but he refrained from doing so.
Passing through the thick Demonic Qi, the two quickly arrived in front of Lei Gu. Feng Ming smiled and said, “Success.”
Lei Gu was also all smiles as he looked at Yang Kai and nodded repeatedly.
Yang Kai cupped his fists, “Senior.”
The smile on Lei Gu’s face froze, and Feng Ming’s expression also became stunned as he turned to look.
Seeing this, Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat as he keenly felt that he had exposed himself. What problem could he have with just calling him ‘Senior’? Before he could finish his thought, Lei Gu and Feng Ming suddenly separated and retreated.
Yang Kai also made a prompt decision. Activating his Space Laws, the surrounding space instantly solidified, and at the same time, two Moon Blades flew towards Lei Gu and Feng Ming respectively. Since it was too rushed, Yang Kai was unable to prepare a powerful killing move.
Crack! Crack! As expected of a Third-Order Emperor Realm master, Lei Gu was able to use his powerful strength to shatter space. His figure was only slightly hindered as he barely managed to dodge the Moon Blade.
