Blood Qi soared into the sky, and below the city walls, it was like a living hell. Hundreds of corpses were piled up, and hundreds of heads were piled up into a small mountain. The scene was horrifying, and all the surrounding cultivators were silent.
Among them, there might have been some who had the same thoughts as the members of the Five Great Families, wanting to escape Tiger Roar City, otherwise they wouldn’t have gathered here, but with hundreds of people from the Five Great Families right in front of them, none of them dared to have any ideas.
This Palace Master who had come from High Heaven Palace in the North Region didn’t even bat an eyelid when killing people; he was simply inhumane. Everyone looked at Yang Kai with fear and dread.
Yang Kai, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened and continued to play with the array disc in his hand. Suddenly, he looked up at Gao Xueting and said, “Senior Sister Gao, tell the Temple disciples to withdraw the people who are in charge of the Spirit Array.” Saying so, he tossed the array disc over.
Hearing this, Gao Xueting nodded and said, “Good.” She immediately began making arrangements.
In such a large city, the Great City Barrier Array was naturally not something that could be managed by just one or two people. At the very least, there were several dozen people who were in charge of it, each of them holding a separate Array Disks. City Lord Lin Tong should also have a main Array Disks which could be used to control the overall situation.
With the Five Great Families here, Yang Kai had no choice but to be on guard against similar situations occurring in other places. However, if the Temple Disciple was in charge of the Great Array, it would prevent such a thing from happening. To Yang Kai, the cultivators of Tiger Roar City were still outsiders, so it would be safer for him to guard the Great Array.
The invasion of the Demon Race was imminent, so they had to settle their internal affairs first.
Yang Kai then took out his communication compass and contacted Li Jiao to inquire about the situation of the Demon Race’s army.
At this moment, the Great City Barrier Array suddenly rippled and a strange fluctuation appeared.
Yang Kai turned around and frowned, “What happened?”
Gao Xueting shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know either.
On the other hand, the Principle Source Stage old man who had been presiding over the Spirit Array suddenly said, “Someone opened the Spirit Array somewhere.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s face turned cold, “You’re courting death!”
The reason why he had asked Gao Xueting to arrange for people to withdraw from the city wall was to prevent similar situations from happening like the Five Great Families. He hadn’t expected that such a situation would actually occur. Fleeing at the last moment would affect their morale, especially in a situation where there were so many enemies. This battle was not easy to fight, and if their morale was low, Tiger Roar City would definitely not be able to defend itself. At that time, whether it was the Azure Sun Temple or the people from Fire Dragon Palace, they would all suffer.
“Where is it?” He turned to look at the old man.
The old man immediately pointed in a certain direction, “If this old master isn’t mistaken, it should be over there!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Kai disappeared.
At a certain section of the city wall east of Tiger Roar City, Yang Kai suddenly appeared. Sure enough, he saw that a hole had been opened in the Spirit Array here, and a figure was rapidly fleeing several kilometers away.
The figure looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
On the city wall, Tiger Roar City’s City Lord Lin Tong’s face was ashen as he stared in the direction the man had fled. Vice City Lord Ma Yin was sitting cross-legged with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, seemingly injured but not serious.
“Who?!” Yang Kai asked coldly.
Lin Tong’s face twitched as he shouted, “Wu Zijin!”
Yang Kai came to a sudden realization. No wonder he found the figure of the fleeing man somewhat familiar. It turned out to be the Vice City Lord of Tiger Roar City, Wu Zijin. Even the Vice City Lord had fled at
the last moment, how could this be? If news of this were to spread, how could the native cultivators of Tiger Roar City still have the mood to resist the Demon Race?
As the Vice City Lord, he should have set an example, but now he was acting in such a manner. He was probably the one who had beaten Ma Yin up. Although Yang Kai didn’t ask, he could guess that Ma Yin had failed to stop him and was injured by him.
Turning his head to look around, he found that the surrounding Tiger Roar City cultivators were indeed panicking. Wu Zijin’s escape had obviously brought about a very bad influence.
Suddenly, he remembered that this guy had told them to make plans and leave Tiger Roar City as soon as possible, now it seemed he already had a plan.
Yang Kai suddenly felt somewhat disheartened. The five great families of Tiger Roar City’s native cultivators and even the Vice City Lord didn’t have the heart to stay behind and fight to the death with the Demon Race, so why should the reinforcements from the Eastern, Southern, and Northern Region remain?
Turning his head to look at Lin Tong, he asked, “What plans does the
City Lord have? If he wants to leave, he should be able to do so now.”
Lin Tong glanced at him and said lightly, “As long as the city remains, so will the people!”
Ma Yin also opened her eyes and said, “I ask Palace Master Yang to lend Tiger Roar City a hand!”
Hearing this, Yang Kai grinned, “It seems the people of Tiger Roar City aren’t all cowards.”
Ma Yin said angrily, “We are ashamed to be associated with that Old Dog Wu. If we don’t die today, the next time we see him we will take his dog life!”
Yang Kai nodded, “There’s no need to wait for the next time.”
Before Ma Yin could figure out what Yang Kai meant, she heard Yang Kai say, “I’ll be back soon, I hope City Lord can quickly repair this gap!”
With a flash, Yang Kai disappeared.
Ma Yin was stunned and looked forward, only to see a figure flicker and disappear from her sight in the blink of an eye. Only then did she wake up and ask, “He went to chase Old Dog Wu?”
How could he possibly catch up? Old Dog Wu had been running for some time now, and although Yang Kai’s cultivation was a small level higher than his, if he was focused on escaping, he might be able to escape. Wouldn’t it be a waste of energy to chase after him at this time? If they were surrounded by the Demon Race outside the city, Tiger Roar City would lose another high-end combat force.
Lin Tong’s eyes lit up as he said, “I’ve heard that this Palace Master Yang is proficient in the Space Laws, and now that I’ve seen him, he truly live up to his reputation!”
“Space Laws,” Ma Yin’s slender brow twitched slightly as she finally understood how Yang Kai’s speed was so fast and how his movements were so erratic that she couldn’t even see him.
So it was the Space Laws!
“Someone’s coming!” Ma Yin’s expression suddenly changed as she pointed forward, a small black dot appearing in her field of vision.
When she said this, the black dot was still far away, but by the time she finished speaking, it had already become the size of a fist.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in front of her.
It was none other than Yang Kai!
Ma Yin’s mouth curled into a circle as she stared in shock.
Although he said he would come and go as he pleased, in less than ten breaths of time, Yang Kai had returned with a man in his hand. Looking at him, Ma Yin was instantly enraged. If this man wasn’t Old Dog Wu, who was he?!
In just ten breaths of time, not only had he returned, but he had even captured Wu Zijin, who was trying to escape. If Ma Yin hadn’t seen such a miraculous technique with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.
Lin Tong also wore a dazed look, as if he was in a dream.
At this moment, Wu Zijin, who was being held in Yang Kai’s hand, was
coughing non-stop, coughing out large mouthfuls of blood. His aura was weak and it was obvious he was seriously injured.
Yang Kai threw him in front of Ma Yin.
Wu Zijin struggled to get up, his hand covering his chest as he looked at Lin Tong, then at Ma Yin, his expression changing.
He certainly didn’t expect that after expending so much effort to escape from the city, he would be captured in the blink of an eye and thrown in front of Ma Yin, who had been injured by his sneak attack. This was quite embarrassing.
Forcefully squeezing out a smile, Wu Zijin asked, “How are Vice City Lord Ma’s injuries?”
Ma Yin slowly stood up and stared at him coldly, “Don’t worry about it.” As she spoke, she took out a soft whip. It was unknown what material this whip was made of, but it was thirty meters long and gave off a cold light.
Wu Zijin’s expression changed drastically as he stepped back and said, “If you have something to say, say it nicely. This Wu has his own
difficulties and is not sincerely trying to hurt you.”
Ma Yin turned a deaf ear to this, her Emperor Qi surging as the light on her whip flickered.
Wu Zijin turned to look at Lin Tong, “City Lord, please spare my life, please spare this Wu’s life, this Wu can fight alongside you. The Demon Race is about to attack, this Wu can at least put in some effort.”
Lin Tong stared at him with a look of disgust, “This City Lord doesn’t dare to fight alongside you!” Even Ma Yin had been ambushed by him, so how could he not be worried?
Wu Zijin knew that today was not going to end well for him, so he summoned a large axe and swung it towards Ma Yin. He didn’t dare to attack Lin Tong because his opponent’s cultivation was higher than his and Ma Yin had been injured by his sneak attack. Since everyone’s cultivation was the same, only Ma Yin was a breakthrough point.
However, in the next instant, the Space Laws fluctuated wildly as an invisible force tightly bound him. He raised his axe high, but was unable to strike.
Ma Yin raised her whip and wrapped it around Wu Zijin’s neck. With a slight push, Wu Zijin’s head flew into the air, blood gushing from his neck.
Ma Yin was somewhat absent-minded, as if she hadn’t expected to kill Wu Zijin so easily, but she also understood that Yang Kai was secretly helping her, so she turned to him and nodded in thanks.
Yang Kai said, “To be honest, not long ago, the five great families in the city also wanted to leave the city, but they were all killed by me.”
Hearing this, Lin Tong snorted, “Good kill, the Demon Race has invaded. Not only did they not know how to defend themselves, they even wanted to escape. Such a person’s death is not something to be regretted. Even if Palace Master Yang doesn’t act, this Lin will personally clean up the door.”
The Five Great Families were members of Tiger Roar City, now that something like this had happened, Lin Tong’s face had lost all color. In addition to Wu Zijin, Lin Tong’s face was filled with rage.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up as he said, “Since City Lord Lin intends to defend Tiger Roar City and fight to the death with the Demon Race, then the reinforcements from the Eastern, Northern, and Southern
Territories will definitely go all out.”
Lin Tong cupped his hands and said, “Many thanks, everyone. If it weren’t for your help, my Tiger Roar City would have been in danger today.”
Yang Kai shook his head, “It’s just a matter of life and death. The Demon Race’s momentum is fierce, so I don’t think they’ll be satisfied with just the Western Region. After they finish devouring the Western Region’s territory, it will be the Southern Region, Northern Region and the Eastern Region’s turn. We’ve come here to save our own lives.”
Lin Tong said solemnly, “Palace Master Yang is truly wise, this old master admires you greatly.”
Ma Yin sighed, “Unfortunately, our Tiger Roar City’s morale is quite low right now.” She turned her head to look around and saw that the surrounding cultivators were also avoiding her gaze. It was just as she had said, the morale was quite low. The Demon Race army’s attack had already caused everyone to panic, and Wu Zijin’s actions had caused the already low morale to fall even further.
