With a bang, the Mountain River Bell fell and Yang Kai and Lie Kuang were both suppressed inside.
Lao Ke, Ke Sen, and He Yan were all stunned. As for Lie Kuang’s subordinates, after stabilizing themselves, they also frowned and stared at the Mountain River Bell with strange expressions.
From the looks of it, this human was probably… trying to fight Sir Lie Kuang one on one? Otherwise, why would he use such a treasure right from the start?
But… where did this guy get his confidence from? Although Lie Kuang was a High-Rank Demon King, he was only a step away from becoming a Half-Saint. It could be said that as long as there was a suitable opportunity and enough time, he would definitely be able to become a Half-Saint.
Even Lao Ke and the others, who were both High-Rank Demon Kings, were no match for him. How could a mere mid-Rank Demon King be so bold? Was he tired of living?
Even if one were to use their toes to think, the Demon Kings could already predict what would happen next. The only possibility was that the human had been killed on the spot by Sir Lie Kuang.
One of the mid-grade Demon Kings glanced indifferently at Lao Ke and the others before waving his hand. The twenty or so subordinates of Lie Kuang immediately swarmed forward and surrounded the Mountain River Bell, clearly not wanting to disturb Lie Kuang before the battle ended.
When Lao Ke and the others saw this, their faces sank slightly—it wasn’t that they were worried about Yang Kai, but rather that he was seeking his own death. They had no other choice, but this Mid-Rank Demon King’s attitude of using his status to intimidate them was truly infuriating.
However, this was all they could do, so they didn’t have any other response. After exchanging a glance with Ke Sen and He Yin, both of them couldn’t help sighing. The Human Race’s Great King had only been here for a few days before he was killed by Lie Kuang, so it would be difficult for them to explain to the Saint Venerable. Compared to this, they were more worried about whether Lie Kuang would find trouble with them.
For a time, all of them were worried, thinking that they had really been implicated by Yang Kai.
…
Inside the Mountain River Bell, there was only a radius of 60 meters. Yang Kai and Lie Kuang stood facing each other, the former shaking his head and stretching his muscles while the latter glared at him angrily.
He had accidentally suffered a great loss. Although his life wasn’t in danger, it still caused Lie Kuang to look like a volcano about to erupt.
Although he was angry, his thoughts were still clear. Turning his head to look around, he used his Divine Sense to perceive his surroundings and immediately understood the situation he was in. He couldn’t help sneering, “Human, you are quite bold, daring to act like this!” To be honest, Yang Kai’s actions just now had far exceeded his expectations.
Yang Kai said lightly, “You’re quite bold, this King has been ordered to command the Cloud Shadow Continent. Since you’ve already entered the city, why haven’t you come to pay your respects?”
“Who do you think you are? You have the qualifications to make this King pay respects to you?” Lie Kuang sneered, raising his arms and glaring at him, “After offending Sir Yue Sang, do you think you can survive?”
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Yue Sang has already been sent to the Two Worlds Battlefield by the Saint Venerable, don’t you know?” Now he could confirm that this Lie Kuang really had a close relationship with the Blue Plains Continent. Bai Zhuo had also said that the Blue Plains Continent was Yue Sang’s territory.
Hearing this, Lie Kuang was stunned for a moment before a look of confusion appeared on his face.
Yang Kai sneered, “It seems you really don’t know anything.”
If he knew something, he would definitely not have such a reaction.
Lie Kuang angrily waved his hand and said, “Don’t speak nonsense. Sir Yue Sang is deeply trusted by the Saint Venerable and is regarded as her right-hand man, so how could he be sent to the Two World Battlefield by the Saint Venerable? As for you… if you are willing to submit to me, I may spare your life today.”
“I’ll return your exact words!” Yang Kai looked at him with a smile, “This King has just arrived and my foundation is shallow, so I would like to gather some help. Seeing that your cultivation is quite high, it would be a pity to kill you. If you can open your Knowledge Sea and allow this King to plant a Soul Brand on you, you will be spared from death today!”
Lie Kuang laughed loudly, “Little brat, you’re boasting shamelessly.” Turning his head to look around, he said, “You’re relying on this artifact? En, this artifact is indeed extraordinary. Although this King has never tried it before, I know it won’t be easy to break it, but your mistake was that you shouldn’t have stayed here with this King. If this King wanted to kill you, where could you hide?”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head and smiled, “I’ll give you one last chance. Submit or die!”
Lie Kuang’s face went cold as he shouted, “I want you dead!” As soon as his voice fell, his Demonic Qi surged and he rushed towards Yang Kai like a ferocious tiger, unstoppable.
However, Yang Kai didn’t seem to notice this and simply stood there, smiling at him.
Lie Kuang’s brow wrinkled. He didn’t know what Yang Kai was up to, he didn’t show any signs of resisting, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, but at this moment, he had no choice but to use his full strength.
In the next moment, Yang Kai suddenly raised his hand and a tall figure appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
Before he could even see what it was, a fist the size of a door swung towards him. The fist’s edge had yet to arrive, but it gave Lie Kuang a feeling that it was impossible to resist. It was not a fist, but a mountain!
In the blink of an eye, Lie Kuang quickly crossed his arms in front of his chest and activated his Innate Divine Ability at the same time, causing his body to glow with a golden light, giving off a feeling of being impregnable.
A loud bang rang out, and under Lie Kuang’s incredulous gaze, his entire body was sent flying by a massive force. Golden light flashed wildly from his body as he crashed into the Mountain River Bell’s wall.
Inside his body, his five viscera and six bowels were churning and his blood was boiling. Lie Kuang struggled to get up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking up in horror, he saw what had injured him.
It was a thirty-meter-tall stone giant, covered in a thick layer of stone spikes and exuding a terrifying aura.
Holy Spirit!
There were also Holy Spirits in the Demon Territory, some of which were so powerful that even a Half-Saint would have to retreat if they encountered one. Although Lie Kuang didn’t know who this Holy Spirit was, he knew that it was not someone he could contend with!
An intense pain came from his arms. Just now, his opponent’s punch had shattered both of his arms, even breaking a few of the bones in his chest. If it weren’t for his background as a Stone Demon and his innate Divine Ability, that punch alone would have been enough to shatter his bones, what kind of terrifying strength was that!
Lie Kuang’s eyes twitched as a sense of unease filled his heart. Compared to the strength displayed by this Holy Spirit, what he was more confused about was how this person had appeared here! Just now, it was only him and Yang Kai, but this place had been sealed off by an unknown artifact, so how could it have entered?
Just as Lie Kuang’s heart was in turmoil, the Embodiment shook its head and muttered, “I can’t show my power!”
Although the Mountain River Bell could change its size, the fact that it was only 60 meters in radius made him feel somewhat restrained.
Yang Kai slowly walked out from behind his Avatar and smiled, “Don’t complain, just make do!”
With his current ability, dealing with Lie Kuang was naturally not a problem, but if he were to fight alone, he would definitely have to expend some effort. His main purpose for coming here tonight was to intimidate the Cloud Shadow Continent demons, so this battle had to be resolved as soon as possible. If he were to delay this battle for too long, who knew what would happen outside?
Hearing this, the Embodiment didn’t say anything more and instead strode towards Lie Kuang. Yang Kai’s figure flickered as he quickly followed.
Lie Kuang felt a great sense of alarm in his heart. He knew that if he didn’t handle this situation well today, he would really die here. Without any hesitation, he clenched his fist and a long spear appeared in his hand. Enduring the pain, he roared and circulated his Demonic Qi, ruthlessly smashing the spear. The power of this spear was his full strength and it felt as if it could shatter the world. A fist-sized black ball appeared in front of the spear.
As long as he could break through this artifact, he would be able to receive the help of his subordinates outside and the situation would be reversed. At the very least, he would be able to escape. This was undoubtedly his only way out.
With a loud bang, the Mountain River Bell shook but was not damaged at all.
On the other hand, Lie Kuang was forced back by the force of the rebound, a look of disbelief flashing across his eyes. He had truly underestimated the grade of this artifact. His full-powered spear had actually failed to shake it, so this was undoubtedly a Saint Grade artifact.
How could this human, whose strength was only comparable to a Mid-Rank Demon King, possess such a precious treasure? Even if his life was on the line, Lie Kuang couldn’t help feeling a sense of jealousy.
Right at this moment, the Embodiment suddenly raised its hand and pressed down.
In an instant, an inexplicable force enveloped Lie Kuang, causing his body to become extremely heavy, making it difficult for him to move. Not only that, but strands of dark red aura began to uncontrollably leak out from his limbs, bones, and pores, converging towards the giant hand of his Embodiment.
What kind of damned Secret Technique was this? Lie Kuang turned pale with fright, clearly sensing that his strength was being absorbed by the other party. Although the speed wasn’t too fast, if it was delayed for too long, his foundation would definitely be damaged. At that time, it would be impossible for him to improve his cultivation any further, and it would be good enough if he could maintain his High-Rank Demon King Realm.
He was overwhelmed with shock as he turned his spear to try to break this Secret Technique.
However, at this moment, Yang Kai had already attacked from the side, his hands transforming into dragon claws, his entire body emitting a Dragon Prestige, causing Lie Kuang’s heart to race. He knew that he had underestimated this human from the start.
Looking over, it was as if he could see the figure of a giant dragon curled up behind Yang Kai. In a daze, Yang Kai had broken through the defense he was so proud of and left a five-fingered mark on his body.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of injury could only be considered a minor injury, but under the effects of the Secret Technique of the Embodiment, a large amount of blood poured out from the wound.
Even though Lie Kuang reacted quickly and used his Demonic Qi to quickly seal his wound, his momentum still plummeted in this short moment.
