Bright Moon's eyes narrowed as he continued to retreat, constantly setting up a defensive barrier in front of him…
A moment later, the red light disappeared and the world calmed down. Bright Moon stood in the air in a sorry state, his face as pale as paper, blood flowing from his ears and nose…
The power of Demon Saint Red Demon's self-destruction was smaller than he had expected, at least it hadn’t destroyed this entire continent, but it had caused him even more injuries. The powerful vitality from the Eternal Tree’s leaf circulated throughout his body, rapidly healing the wounds in his body, but this was obviously not something that could be done in a short time. When he had been injured by Xue Li, he had spent two leaves and nearly a year to completely recover.
“Hahahaha!” Xue Li’s loud laughter quickly rang out from the distance, obviously rapidly approaching, “Huo Bu, this is the first time this old master has found you so pleasing to the eye!”
He had managed to protect Huo Bu’s Soul Clone by accident, but he hadn’t expected it to have such an unexpected effect. Although the strength of the other Demon Saints wasn’t weak and most of them were stronger than Huo Bu, if it weren’t for Huo Bu’s arrival this time, if it had been someone else, perhaps they really wouldn’t have been able to keep Bright Moon here. After all, that fellow was only a step away from the World Gate, and only a self-destructing technique like Huo Bu could stop Bright Moon from escaping!
Specks of red light condensed in the air and in the blink of an eye, the Demon Saint’s self-destruction did not cause him to lose his life. This should be his Natural Divine Ability from the Red Demon Race.
However, at this moment, Huo Bu’s condition wasn’t very good. His originally red body had become noticeably dimmer, and his aura was also somewhat weak. Obviously, the self-destruction just now had cost him quite a bit, so it was impossible for him to use such a Divine Ability repeatedly in a short period of time, unless he really wanted to die.
Turning to look in the direction Xue Li had come from, Huo Bu’s mouth twitched as he muttered a few words, seemingly cursing someone.
Bright Moon's expression was as calm as water as he let out a light sigh, not sighing because he had failed at the last moment. In his mind, it would naturally be best if he could break out of this encirclement, there were twelve Demon Saints in the Demon Territory. If he really managed to break out of this encirclement, they would be nothing more than Demon Saints blocking his road. The current situation was already within his expectations, so there was no need to feel regret.
The path ahead was filled with thorns, and there was only one way out!
…
Yang Kai’s heart was burning with anxiety as he hurried along, finally arriving at the World Gate that led to the Eternal Heaven Continent in half a month’s time. However, from a distance, he could see that the Demon Race’s gate was packed with people, and it was unknown how many people had gathered there.
With so many people present, the situation became somewhat chaotic. Under the leadership of the Half-Saints, the Demon Race’s army rushed towards the World Gate, as if there was something good waiting for them at the World Gate.
At this rate, even if he were to wait for more than ten days, he wouldn’t have a chance!
Seeing this, Yang Kai turned around and shouted, “Follow!”
Pressing his legs together, Wind Chaser rushed towards the World Gate aggressively. Since he couldn’t get a turn in the queue, then he wouldn’t!
With the power of Wind Chaser, Yang Kai forced his way through the dense Demon Race army, the two million strong army following closely behind him.
This action naturally attracted the attention of many of the Demon Race, all of them turning their heads and glaring angrily, but the Demon Territory was a place where fists were the most important. Although Yang Kai didn’t have a Half-Saint on his side, the aura emitted by Wind Chaser was no worse than a Half-Saint, so ordinary Demon Race cultivators didn’t dare act rashly.
When they were ten kilometers away from the World Gate, a figure suddenly flew over and blocked Yang Kai’s path. Raising his hand slightly, he shouted, “Halt!”
“Fuck off, those who try to stop me will die!” Yang Kai didn’t have the time to waste talking nonsense with him. The battle in the Eternal Heaven Continent had already begun, and Bright Moon's fate was still unknown. Yang Kai was in a hurry to personally investigate the situation, so even if a Demon Saint was standing in front of him, he wouldn’t be able to block him, let alone a Half Saint.
In other words, he couldn’t wait for someone to block his path so he could use this opportunity to make an example out of them! His Embodiment had already reached the Half-Saint Realm, and Wind Chaser had once chased after a Half-Saint, so now he could be said to have exchanged a spear for a cannon.
It was unknown which race this Half Saint belonged to, but his complexion was extremely sallow. The Demon Race that was currently passing through the World Gate was none other than the army of the continent under his command. It was also for this reason that he had stepped forward to stop Yang Kai, otherwise, who would be willing to meddle in other people’s business?
Originally, seeing Yang Kai riding on a Demon Beast with a strong aura, he had thought that this fellow’s background was extraordinary, so he had tried to persuade him. But who would have thought that the other party would refuse to give him face, causing him to burn with anger.
Yang Kai’s aura wasn’t very strong, so even if this kind of person had some background, it was extremely limited. He was still a Half-Saint, so why would he need to fear others?
In a fit of anger, he raised his hand and sent out a torrent of Demonic Qi towards Yang Kai, causing a loud explosion in the air as he shouted, “I think you’re courting death!”
The might of a Half-Saint was naturally not weak. Yang Kai immediately felt his body tighten as the aura of death enveloped him. Just as he was hesitating about whether he should release his Embodiment, Wind Chaser had already let out a roar and his four hooves ignited with golden flames, leaving a golden mark in the air. In a flash, he appeared in front of the Half-Saint, raised his body, and stomped down.
This seemingly ordinary attack, however, caused the Half-Saint’s expression to change drastically as he raised his hand and pushed it upwards, his Demonic Qi surging wildly.
The moment his palms and the hooves came into contact, a terrifying force burst forth. The Half-Saint only managed to hold on for a single breath before he was like an arrow released from a bow, crashing into the ground and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Wind Chaser looked like he was about to chase after him, but Yang Kai grabbed his hair and turned around, coldly glancing around, “Who else wants to stop me?”
The surrounding Demon Race Half-Saints all retreated, and the remaining Half-Saints all stared at Wind Chaser with furrowed brows. Soon after, a look of surprise appeared on some of their faces, obviously recognizing Wind Chaser's identity.
Although Yang Kai had been traveling around and helping the Demon Saints repair their World Gates, allowing him to get to know many Half-Saints, in terms of reputation, he was far inferior to Wind Chaser.
The mount of the Hundred Spirit Continent’s master back then could be said to be famous, but with the silence of Chang Tian, this legendary mount gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight.
No one had expected it to appear again, and it was even being ridden by a Mid-Rank Demon King. Just who was this guy?
Although the Hundred Spirit Continent’s relationship with the Demon Territory wasn’t very good, Wind Chaser's identity was too unusual. If anyone dared to harm this beast, the Hundred Spirit Continent’s master would definitely come out and wreak havoc!
Therefore, when Yang Kai asked this question, all the Half-Saint masters remained silent, not because they were afraid of Yang Kai, but because they were afraid that if they were to fight, they would be unable to restrain themselves and injure Wind Chaser.
Not to mention, judging from the strength displayed by this beast just now, even amongst Half-Saints, it was an extremely powerful existence, but due to its low intelligence, it was unable to take human form.
The sallow Half-Saint who had been trampled by Wind Chaser also flew back up, his expression terrifyingly cold. Just now, he had been caught off guard and had fallen into a disadvantageous position, which was quite embarrassing, but he had no intention of attacking again, obviously having some scruples.
Yang Kai glanced at him but didn’t try to provoke him again. At this time, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble and quickly enter the Eternal Heaven Continent. He called out to his subordinates, “Let’s go!”
Saying so, he flew towards the World Gate.
Behind him, Lao Ke and the others all broke out in cold sweat as they followed, feeling extremely guilty. Their Great King had the protection of Wind Chaser, so even if they were to fight, it would probably not be a problem, but it was hard to say how many of these two million strong army would remain.
Fortunately, the Half-Saint cultivators were able to restrain themselves…
It only took half a day for the two million strong army to pass through the World Gate, mainly because it was large enough to accommodate so many people.
The place they appeared is not in the same place, but within a thousand feet radius, Yang Kai spent some time gathering his army before marching forward.
From time to time, the world would tremble slightly, and from an extremely far distance, there would be some sounds mixed with the aftershocks of the battle. In the sky, a faint light could be seen, indicating the intensity of the battle.
Yang Kai looked around, but couldn’t see anything. After all, the real battlefield was too far away.
Along the way, Yang Kai encountered many Demon Race armies rushing over, his mood becoming heavier. From the looks of it, the Demon Territory seemed to have mobilized all of its forces. All of the Half-Saints who were still in the Demon Territory, as well as the Demon Race who could fight, had been pulled to the Eternal Heaven Continent, all for the sake of killing Bright Moon!
Yang Kai suddenly had an idea. If he could destroy the entire Eternal Heaven Continent, the Demon Race would definitely be unable to recover from this setback, and the crisis of the Demon Territory’s invasion of the Star Boundary would also be resolved.
However, this thought only flashed across his mind for a moment before he gave up. He really didn’t have the ability to do so.
Passing through a mountain range, he saw a sea of people below him. On top of the mountain peak, there was a giant flag with complicated patterns fluttering in the wind.
Yang Kai frowned and looked around for a moment before asking the army behind him to wait while he flew down alone.
Before they even got close, one of them turned his gaze towards Yang Kai and smiled, cupping his hands, “Brother Yang, we meet again.”
“So it’s Brother Bai Ya, no wonder he looks so familiar,” Yang Kai flew over and looked down at him.
The one guarding this mountain peak was actually Bei Limo’s Half-Saint Bai Ya. When Yang Kai was repairing the World Gate in Bei Limo’s territory, they had interacted quite a bit and could be considered acquaintances.
Bai Ya sized up Wind Chaser for a moment before a look of surprise flashed across his eyes as he smiled, “Brother Yang’s mount is truly extraordinary, may I know where you obtained it from?”
Yang Kai laughed and said, “I picked it up along the way.” The other party had obviously recognized Wind Chaser and asked this question to confirm whether he had the same answer or not.
