With these thoughts in mind, the old man’s expression didn’t change as he smiled lightly, “Young Lord, please don’t be angry. Although i can’t kill him… this old master can beat him up and help you vent your anger, how about that?”
Yang Kai waved his hand and casually said, “You can beat him up first. If this Young Lord is satisfied, then so be it, but if not… hmph.”
Yang Kai was also trying to figure out a way out. Although he could sense the strength of this old man, it was still unknown whether he could defeat Cang Mo or not. Cang Mo’s battle with him had consumed a great deal of energy, and although he was not at his peak, he still had the foundation of a Pseudo Emperor, so he was not someone anyone could easily beat.
The old man grinned maliciously, “I will definitely satisfy Young Lord!”
Yang Kai said lightly, “Then I’ll wait and see.” Saying so, he signaled to his Embodiment with his eyes, both of them tacitly understanding that if this old man could really beat up Cang Mo half to death, then he and his Embodiment would attack together. At that time, it would be best if he could kill Cang Mo on the spot, once and for all.
Yang Kai didn’t care if he was a member of Star Court or if he was the subordinate of the Iron Blood Great Emperor. It wasn’t like there was no one above him, not to mention that he was also the Star Field’s Master, a part of Star Court’s system. Fighting with Cang Mo was just an internal struggle, even if others were concerned about the Iron Blood Great Emperor, there was no need for him to worry.
“Sir, who are you?” Compared to Yang Kai’s current calmness, Cang Mo was obviously quite depressed. Today’s battle had been unexpected, and all of his plans had failed. Now, an old man had suddenly appeared and even threatened to beat him up.
Cang Mo could feel that this old man wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and even faintly felt that… he should know this old man, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn’t remember where he had seen this old man before. This old man’s appearance was so obvious, if he had seen him before, there was no way he wouldn’t recognize him.
Hearing his question, the flashy old man laughed, “You don’t need to ask about this old master’s name, you heard what I said just now. This old master doesn’t want to kill you, so just obediently let this old master beat you up to vent his anger. If you dare to resist…” His eyes narrowed as he continued, “Fists and kicks have no eyes, if you really die, this old master won’t be able to bear it!”
“Your Excellency’s words are quite bold.” Cang Mo, a dignified Pseudo Emperor, stood at the peak of this world. Apart from the ten Great Emperors, no one else dared to speak to him in such a manner. The old man’s words undoubtedly angered him greatly, causing his nose to almost become crooked.
The flashy old man slowly shook his head and said, “The world is so ignorant, even a Pseudo Emperor is the same. If you were at your peak, you might be able to block three of this old master’s punches, but in your current state, hehe…”
As he laughed, he transformed into a streak of red light and disappeared.
Cang Mo’s expression changed as he waved the Thunder Scepter sin his hand, sending out a bolt of white lightning towards the front.
As the red light flashed, the flashy old man’s figure reappeared and met the white lightning head on. Just as he was about to be struck by it, the old man grinned and opened his mouth, taking a deep breath and releasing a terrifying suction force from his mouth, swallowing the white lightning.
This scene shocked Yang Kai.
Yang Kai was naturally aware of how powerful the white lightning from the Thunder Scepter was. Even his 100 meter dragon body was unable to withstand it, and his dragon scales had been torn off countless times. How could the old man swallow this white lightning in one gulp? The defences in his abdomen had always been weak.
But in fact, after swallowing this lightning, not only did the old man not feel the slightest bit of discomfort, he even let out a strange cackle, as if he had just eaten a delicious meal. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out the white lightning, sending it flying towards Cang Mo.
What kind of Divine Ability was this!? Yang Kai’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. At first glance, it was somewhat similar to the ability of the Ruins of End. The Ruins of End could also devour other people’s energy attacks and then return them in full force, but upon closer inspection, there was a gap between them. The Ruins of End’s return had not changed in the slightest, but the old man’s method of returning the energy to him had added a trace of red light to it.
This sudden change was too fast and the distance between the two sides was too short, so Cang Mo was unable to react in time. When the lightning flashed, Cang Mo was forced to stagger a few steps by his own attack before he could stabilize himself. The old man had already arrived in front of him and a torrential evil aura surged out, wrapping around him like an ocean.
“You are…” Cang Mo’s eyes trembled as he finally recognized this old man’s identity. No wonder he had thought he had seen this old man before but had no impression of his appearance.
“Holy Spirit!” Yang Kai also drooped his eyes and shouted.
Before the old man had used his strength, Yang Kai hadn’t been able to detect anything, but now that the old man had used his own strength, the ancient aura he gave off had completely disappeared. This was obviously the aura of a Holy Spirit, and just from this aura alone, Yang Kai could tell that he was far stronger than all the Holy Spirits he had ever encountered, with the exception of the Dragon and Phoenix. In his perspective, the several Holy Venerable from the Wild Ancient Land were nothing.
What kind of Holy Spirit was this old man? Since he was a Holy Spirit, why did he call him Young Lord?
Could it be because of Zhang Ruoxi? But that wasn’t the case. Just by looking at the attitude of Luan Feng, Fan Wu, and the others towards him, Yang Kai could tell that although the Holy Spirit was afraid of her, it wouldn’t put down its pride to flatter him. Yang Kai was a bit confused.
Just as he was thinking about this, the old man had already slapped down, causing Cang Mo to try his best to resist, but to no avail. Just as the old man had said, if Cang Mo was at his peak, even if he couldn’t defeat the old man, he would still be able to fight him for a while. However, the previous battle had caused Cang Mo’s vitality to be greatly damaged, so if he couldn’t display sixty to seventy percent of his strength, how could he resist the old man’s attack?
The Emperor Qi protecting Cang Mo’s body shattered as he was slapped across the chest, causing blood to spurt out. Cang Mo let out a furious roar as he retreated.
The flashy old man was like a maggot clinging to his bones, his entire body transforming into a streak of red light as he flew up and down around Cang Mo, his fists landing on Cang Mo’s flesh, causing him to be unable to resist. In the blink of an eye, Cang Mo had been struck countless times, kicked countless times, and his entire body was in a miserable state, blood flowing out from his seven orifices, his face was blue, his nose was swollen, and his clothes were covered in fist prints and footprints. His eyes were filled with a raging fire.
With a loud bang, lightning flashed and the flashy old man let out a light cry before retreating.
Cang Mo’s body flashed with lightning as he glared at the old man and shouted, “Evil Spirit, how dare you insult me!”
The flashy old man indifferently replied, “This is the Young Lord’s order, I have no choice but to obey.” What about humiliating him? Not killing him was already a blessing.
Just as he was thinking this, Yang Kai shouted, “Good job, this Young Lord will reward you handsomely.”
As he spoke, he formed a Spirit Art with his hand and the Mountain River Bell began to rotate, suppressing the World Energy in the air while his Embodiment carried the Demonic Weapon Battle Hammer and charged towards him with a cold expression.
This old man’s strength was so great that no matter what his purpose in calling him Young Lord was, the current situation was advantageous to him. If he didn’t seize this opportunity to kill Cang Mo, wouldn’t he be wasting his opportunity?
As soon as he made his move, the flashy old man and Cang Mo both jumped in fright, staring blankly as the two massive figures rapidly approached.
The old man hadn’t expected Yang Kai to be so determined to kill Cang Mo. This was the first time he had heard of this guy’s audacity. He had said that Cang Mo was from Star Court and was the subordinate of the Iron Blood Great Emperor, yet Yang Kai still had the courage to kill him? Wasn’t he afraid that the Iron Blood Great Emperor would find trouble with him?
As for Cang Mo, his vitality had already been greatly damaged, and now that he had been beaten up by the old man, it could be said to be adding insult to injury. If Yang Kai joined forces with his Embodiment at this time, they might really be able to keep him here forever.
With this thought in mind, Cang Mo decided not to stay here any longer. It was better to leave first. Although the treasure was good, it's not more important than his life.
* Chi… *
With a light sound, a crack appeared in the void.
Yang Kai and his Embodimentr’s figures both came to a halt as they stared towards the crack, stunned.
Just what kind of day was it today? Experts that were rarely seen on ordinary days were actually appearing one after another. It didn’t matter if they were willing or not, just barging into the battlefield like this, what the hell was this?
This Void Crack was not created by Yang Kai using his Space Ability, but by a master who had broken through the Void! In the entire Star Boundary, Yang Kai could only think of one person who could do such a thing.
Seeing this sudden change, Cang Mo also calmed down. After seeing the crack, he obviously thought of something and let out a sigh of relief, his expression becoming calm.
As for the coquettish old man, the corner of his mouth twitched as he flashed to Yang Kai’s side and stood obediently.
Yang Kai’s expression changed as he looked down at the old man, “Do you have a grudge with him?”
The old man’s eyes twitched as he asked, “What does Young Lord mean?”
“Heh heh…” Yang Kai grinned maliciously and didn’t ask any more questions, instead looking up again.
The crack in the void suddenly expanded and two figures walked out, one male and one female. The man was handsome, while the woman was beautiful and graceful.
As soon as they appeared, the two of them looked around and both of them wore stunned expressions, obviously not having expected so many masters to be gathered here.
After seeing the man’s face, Yang Kai and Cang Mo both had the same thought: It really is him!
“That’s…” Inside Heavenly Wolf Valley, Lan He, who saw this scene, stared at the man and woman who had broken through the void and asked in shock, “Is that Li Wuyi, Sir Li?”
She wasn’t an ignorant person. Shattering the Void, just how terrifying was this technique? Even if a Great Emperor was able to shatter the Void with his full strength, it was impossible for him to be so indifferent. As such, when she saw the man who had just emerged from the spatial crack, she immediately thought of Li Wuyi.
