Landing heavily on the ground, Bei Limo didn’t even wait for Yang Kai to get up before gently landing in front of him and stepping on his chest. At this moment, her slender jade foot was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on Yang Kai’s chest so hard he couldn’t breathe.
Bei Limo’s enchanting body leaned forward slightly, revealing a white ravine on her chest. Bei Limo’s face was cold as she stared at Yang Kai, “What did you call me just now?”
Yang Kai struggled a few times but was unable to move. Opening his mouth, he spat out a golden arrow of blood towards Bei Li Mo.
Bei Limo tilted her head to the side and dodged. In a fit of anger, she raised her jade foot and stomped down again. With a loud bang, Yang Kai’s entire body sank into the ground, several of his ribs broken and blood spurting from his mouth.
“This is the result of having a cheap mouth!” Bei Limo said coldly.
“If you have the ability, then kill me!” Yang Kai glared at her, his face filled with arrogance.
Bei Limo sneered, “Kill you? How could I bear to kill you? I still want to bring you back.”
Yang Kai possessed a portion of the Star Boundary’s will, so whoever killed him would be able to seize this opportunity. No matter how angry Bei Limo was, it was impossible for her to kill Yang Kai here. She would only bring him back and have one of her Half-Saint subordinates take action.
Any Demon Saint would do the same.
Saying so, she frowned and asked, “Did you Become Devil?”
When Yang Kai had attacked just now, his body had clearly erupted with an extremely dense and pure Demonic Qi. Although it had only been a brief moment, how could it have escaped Bei Limo’s notice? She couldn’t help feeling suspicious. Yang Kai didn’t look like he was possessed, so why was there Demonic Qi in his body?
“None of your business!” Yang Kai gritted his teeth as he glared at her, “You better kill me now, or I’ll kill you later!”
Bei Limo chuckled lightly, “Your strength isn’t high, but your ambitions aren’t small. I want to see how you’ll kill this Queen! However, I have something to ask you.”
“If you have something to say, say it!” Yang Kai’s face was so cold that it could almost form ice. As he spoke, his mind was rapidly thinking about how to escape, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation. He had finally broken through to the Third-Order Emperor Realm and resolved the hidden problem in his dantian, but he didn’t expect that before he could properly feel the increase in his strength after breaking through, he would fall into Bei Limo’s hands. This was really bad luck.
Bei Li Mo seemed to have slowly gotten used to his harsh attitude and didn’t think much of it, instead asking, “Boss Huang said before that unless you really become a part of my Demon Race, no one will be able to protect you. Tell me honestly, did you Become Devil?”
“So what?” Yang Kai raised his brow.
Bei Limo looked at him seriously, her brow wrinkled slightly as she exerted some force with her feet, “Activate your strength again and let me see.”
Yang Kai was silent for a moment before obediently circulating his Demonic Qi. In an instant, the pitch-black Demonic Qi around his body surged and wrapped around him, but he didn’t take the opportunity to attack Bei Limo because he knew he wasn’t Bei Li Mo’s opponent and if he did, he would only be embarrassing himself…
“You really has Become Devil…” Bei Limo’s small mouth opened slightly, showing a look of surprise on her face. She couldn’t understand how Yang Kai had become like this after only ten or twenty days.
In this current situation, Yang Kai could barely be considered a member of the Demon Race. Although he came from the Star Boundary, since he had become a Demon, there was no doubt that he was a member of the Demon Race, which was exactly what Huang Wuji had said.
“I really can’t bear to kill you,” Bei Limo frowned, as if she had encountered a huge problem. Not to mention hiding it from Huang Wuji, if she really brought Yang Kai back and let his Half-Saint subordinate kill him, it would be no different from slapping Huang Wuji’s face. Enraging that bastard would not be beneficial. Just Yang Kai’s own ability alone was unique even in the Demon Territory, so killing him would be a pity. However, if she didn’t kill Yang Kai, Yang Kai wouldn’t be of any use to her. With Yu Rumeng’s Heart Seal Secret Technique restricting him, this little brat in front of her would forever remain loyal to Yu Rumeng.
This gave her a headache.
Listening to her words, Yang Kai also seemed to see a glimmer of light in the darkness, his eyes darting around as he said, “Then perhaps we can sit down and talk peacefully.”
Bei Limo sneered, “Boy, what are you planning this time? This Queen isn’t Yu Rumeng and will not be deceived by your flowery words. I advise you to put away your little tricks, otherwise you’ll suffer.”
Yang Kai grinned, “In front of the Saint, how could I dare to have any funny ideas?”
Bei Limo snorted, “Are you calling me a Saint now? Why didn’t you speak nicely just now?”
“Times have changed. Besides, I’ve worked together with the Saint Venerable before, so we’re not strangers. I’m quite familiar with the Saint Venerable's personality.”
“Are you trying to say you understand me well?” Bei Limo sneered.
“I wouldn’t dare, but compared to the other Demon Saints, the Saint is much easier to get along with. If the Saint is interested, I am willing to follow her orders.”
“What about Yu Rumeng?” Bei Limo smiled.
Yang Kai sighed, “I’ll explain to Rumeng.”
Bei Li Mo snorted lightly, obviously not believing Yang Kai’s words, but so what if this little brat was full of lies? If he really fell into her hands, wouldn’t she slowly teach him a lesson? With her ability, she could make Yang Kai obey her orders in an extremely short time. In the past, she didn’t want to offend Yu Rumeng, but now this little brat had such value.
Bei Limo’s thoughts began to stir.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the ground next to her and threw a pitch-black war hammer towards her. It was the Embodiment that had quietly snuck up from the ground and launched a sneak attack. It had been sent flying by Bei Limo before, so it naturally couldn’t abandon Yang Kai and quietly approach her. Now that it had finally found an opportunity, it naturally went all out. When the war hammer smashed down, the Heaven Devourer Battle Law was already activated.
“Scram!”
Bei Limo didn’t even look at it, as if she had already expected this. The silver hair on her back fluttered without any wind, suddenly transforming into a silver light that swept towards the Embodiment.
Wherever the silver hair passed, a brilliant silver light flashed and the Heaven Devouring Domain was shattered. The Embodiment was also struck, and after a slight pause in mid-air, it quickly transformed into a small black dot and was sent flying. The Demonic Qi pouring out from its body was almost instantly dispersed.
In front of Bei Limo, a Half-Saint like the Embodiment couldn’t even withstand a single blow, just like how Ming Yue had killed a Demon Race Half-Saint with a single sword strike. If Bei Limo wanted to, the Embodiment would have already been reduced to pieces.
However, in the next moment, Bei Limo suddenly felt a great sense of crisis envelop her, and when she looked up, she saw a cold light shoot out from Yang Kai’s hand towards her.
Almost without hesitation, Bei Limo retreated, her beautiful eyes staring fixedly at the cold light as she screamed, “Profound Dark Needle! How could you have a Profound Dark Needle!”
Yang Kai turned a deaf ear to her words and pounced towards her. Activating his Dragon Transformation Secret Technique, his dragon might spread out and his hands transformed into sharp dragon claws, not showing the slightest bit of mercy towards Bei Limo’s full chest.
He didn’t know why Bei Limo was so afraid of the Profound Dark Needle, but the only thing he could think of to threaten Bei Limo was probably this method.
Back then, under Bei Limo’s invitation, Yang Kai had gone to the Proud Snow Ice Palace to repair her World Gate and was imprisoned by Bei Limo in the Ice Prison. Inside the eighteenth floor of Ice Prison, Yang Kai had met a young girl. The girl’s memory was a mess and she couldn’t even remember her own name, so Yang Kai had casually called her Lady Bing.
Lady Bing vaguely remembered that she had a master-disciple relationship with Bei Limo. Because she had committed a grave mistake, Bei Limo had imprisoned her in the eighteenth floor ice prison. In the end, she had handed over a Profound Dark Needle to Yang Kai which sealed a forbidden technique she had created.
It didn’t take long, so Yang Kai naturally remembered what Lady Bing had said at that time. She had told him that the Forbidden Technique in this Profound Dark Needle couldn’t kill Bei Li Mo, but it could delay her for at least three breaths, at most ten breaths.
This was the only thing in Yang Kai’s possession that had any hope of resisting Bei Limo. All other Divine Abilities were nothing in front of a Saint.
However, this effect was somewhat beyond Yang Kai’s expectations.
As soon as the Profound Dark Needle appeared, Bei Limo’s reaction was obvious to him, her eyes filled with hatred and dread.
At this moment, Yang Kai faintly felt that things weren’t as simple as he had thought. Perhaps that Lady Bing still had some secrets she hadn’t told him.
But now that the arrow was nocked on the bowstring, he didn’t have time to worry about anything else. All he could do was hope that the power of the Profound Dark Needle’s forbidden technique would be just as the Lady Bing had said.
If he could really do this, he and his Embodiment might have a chance to escape.
Bei Limo’s speed was extremely fast, and her figure was erratic as she twisted and turned, giving off an indescribable sense of agility and beauty. However, the Profound Dark Needle was still chasing after her like a maggot, a dignified Demon Saint unable to escape.
Three breaths later, the Profound Dark Needle had arrived in front of Bei Limo.
A trace of panic flashed across Bei Limo’s face before her Demonic Qi shook and a layer of visible protection appeared on her body.
However, this was meaningless. The Profound Dark Needle had easily broken through the defences of a Demon Saint and directly struck Bei Limo’s body.
Bei Limo’s tender body trembled, as if someone had used a Fixed Body Spell on her, causing her to freeze in place, her charming face filled with disbelief.
In the next moment, Yang Kai’s dragon claw tore through her defences, his palm digging into her chest and gripping her beating heart!
Success!
Yang Kai’s eyes bulged as if he was in a dream. He really hadn’t expected that he would be able to succeed so easily. Bei Limo was a Demon Saint, one of the twelve most powerful masters in the Demon Territory, yet she had been completely suppressed by the Profound Dark Needle.
Didn’t Lady Bing say that this thing could only delay her for a few breaths of time? Why was it so powerful? Was there something else he didn’t understand?
