Saying so, Yang Kai raised his hand and pointed towards the Wind Monarch.
With a loud cry, a powerful beast with a black flame on its head and a single horn on its forehead appeared. This beast looked like a horse, but it was much larger than an ordinary horse. On top of that, its entire body was filled with Demonic Qi and its aura was fierce and tyrannical. It was obviously a Half-Saint.
Yang Kai didn’t just have three Demon Race Half-Saints with him, there was also Wind Chaser in the Mysterious Small World. The reason why he hadn’t summoned it before was because in the World of Darkness, apart from him, everyone else who was enveloped by this technique would be affected. Even if he summoned Wind Chaser, Wind Chaser would be as blind and deaf as Wind Monarch, and if he couldn’t help Yang Kai, he would only cause more trouble.
However, things were different now. Like him, the Wind Monarch was also exhausted, so summoning Wind Chaser to appear was a good opportunity to beat up a drowning dog.
Although Wind Chaser was a Demon Territory's Beast with low intelligence, he was still able to tell who was friend and who was foe. As soon as he appeared, he turned around to look at Yang Kai, his big eyes blinking a few times before turning to look at the Wind Monarch on the other side. In an instant, his eyes turned red and his body was covered in Demonic Flames as he lowered his head and charged towards the Wind Monarch.
The Wind Monarch was dumbfounded.
He had thought that victory was in his grasp and that he only needed to wait for Yang Kai to die, but who would have thought that this guy would actually summon such a ferocious beast! He couldn’t recognize what kind of strange beast Wind Chaser was, but the aura of a Half-Saint was not fake. Such a ferocious beast would be a headache even in his prime, let alone now when he was in such a sorry state.
Seeing Wind Chaser rushing towards him, the horn on his forehead flashed with a cold light. How could the Wind Monarch not know that if he was hit, he would definitely die? In this life or death crisis, the Wind Monarch bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence towards the endless hourglass in his hand!
The endless hourglass, which had always been simple and unadorned, suddenly released a dazzling light that caused the entire Passing of Time Temple to tremble. In the next instant, a light curtain appeared out of thin air and wrapped around Wind Monarch.
With a loud bang, Wind Chaser crashed into the light curtain and was sent flying. At the same time, the Passing of Time Temple let out a loud buzz.
It was as if Wind Chaser had crashed into the Passing of Time Temple instead of the light curtain!
Wind Chaser flew into the air, Wind Monarch and Yang Kai looked at each other, swearing, “Despicable, shameless, cunning!”
After cursing, both of them clutched their chests and coughed violently, blood constantly flowing from their mouths.
The two of them had fought with all their might until now, but in the end, they had almost died together. In the end, both of them still had some kind of trump card up their sleeves. Yang Kai felt that the Wind Monarch was despicable and shameless, while the Wind Monarch felt that Yang Kai was cunning…
However, after just a single curse, everyone stopped and no one had the strength to curse. Whether it was the Wind Monarch or Yang Kai, this was probably the first time in their lives that they had suffered such a fate.
On the other side, Wind Chaser landed heavily on the ground, got up, shook his head, and once again charged towards the Wind Monarch.
A moment later, with a loud bang, Wind Chaser flew out again, the same as before.
The corners of Yang Kai’s eyes twitched as he felt that he was in big trouble this time. He had been holding himself back and had not summoned Wind CHaser because he wanted to give the Wind Monarch a big surprise at this critical moment. He had thought that he would be able to settle this matter once and for all, but who would have thought that the Wind Monarch would also have a hidden method.
Although the light curtain, which had been activated by his blood essence and endless hourglasses, did not cause any damage, it was extremely tough. The two strikes of Wind Chaser were completely ineffective, and with the power of Wind Chaser, it was likely that it was impossible to break through. If the light curtain was not broken, Wind Chaser would not die, and if Wind Chaser did not die, he would die.
The Divine Sand within the endless hourglass flowed and his lifespan continued to flow, so he couldn’t hold on for much longer. Could it be that he had no choice but to flee to the Mysterious Small World? The Mysterious Small World was a world of its own, so if he entered it, he might be able to sever the connection between himself and the endless hourglass, but that was only a possibility. Yang Kai couldn’t be certain about something he had never tried before.
But this was indeed his last resort.
Opposite him, the Wind Monarch chuckled happily.
Yang Kai couldn’t stand it, his face cold as he weakly said, “If you laugh again, I’ll knock your teeth out.”
The Wind Monarch shook his head and replied in an extremely weak voice, “It’s useless, it’s useless. The Endless Hourglass isn’t just a Great Emperor’s artifact, it is also the core of the Passing of Time Temple. This king will use the power of the endless hourglass to stimulate the power of the Passing of Time Temple and protect myself. Unless this evil creature can destroy the entire Passing of Time Temple, no one can do anything to this Great Master, not even if the Great Emperor himself comes!”
“If a Great Emperor really comes here, try saying that…” Yang Kai sneered.
Although he was ridiculing him, Yang Kai estimated that the Wind Monarch wasn’t lying to him. At this point, there was no need to deceive him anymore. Moreover, when Wind Chaser had struck the light curtain twice, each time he did so, the Passing of Time Temple would hum. It was clear that the light curtain was closely connected to the entire Passing of Time Temple. Without breaking through the Passing of Time Temple, it was impossible to harm the Wind Monarch, but how could Wind Chaser break through the Passing of Time Temple? This was simply impossible.
As the two of them spoke, Wind Chaser rushed over for the third time.
The Wind Monarch looked at Wind Chaser with a mocking expression, “This beast is quite extraordinary, but it’s a pity that it’s like a pearl in the dark. Junior, don’t worry, after you die, this King will have plenty of time to tame it.”
He had thought that Wind Chaser was a mount that Yang Kai had subdued. If he had known that Wind CHaser was Chang Tian’s mount, he probably wouldn’t have thought so. Chang Tian didn’t carry the Demon Saint’s name, but it was undeniable that he was also a Demon Saint.
How could a mere Wind Monarch subdue a Demon Saint’s mount? Wind Chaser had only done so because Yang Kai possessed the Dragon Race’s bloodline and was close to him, so the two of them could not be considered master and servant.
As he spoke, Wind Chaser arrived in front of the Wind Monarch, but this time, he had learned his lesson and didn’t slam his head into the light curtain. Instead, he suddenly raised his two hooves and stomped down.
With this stomp, even if there was a giant mountain in front of him, it would still be smashed to pieces, but the light barrier only slightly caved in and quickly recovered.
However, with this posture, Wind Chaser was spared from the fate of being sent flying again. His body only leaned back slightly before stabilizing and stepping down again.
Every time these two hooves landed, the Passing of Time Temple would hum, and for a time, the empty hall would continuously echo with this shocking sound.
As time passed, the light curtain remained unaffected, and Wind CHaser's anger soared to the sky as he constantly cried out, occasionally glancing back at Yang Kai as if asking him how to kill his enemies.
How could Yang Kai have a solution? He was still hoping that Wind Chaser would be able to break this round.
At a certain moment, when Wind Chaser stomped down again and the temple shook, a warm and angry voice suddenly rang out in the hall, “So noisy, so noisy, which bastard… Aiyo, why did you hit me!”
“Open your eyes wide and look carefully,” Another voice rang out.
The first voice was that of a man, and it sounded quite cheerful. The second voice was that of a woman, and although it was just a single sentence, it was filled with a pleasant melody.
There was actually someone else in this hall, and not just one!
The Wind Monarch couldn’t help glaring at him and calling out, “Who’s trying to play tricks?” Looking around vigilantly, his Divine Sense spread out in all directions, trying to find someone, but where could he find them? In the main hall, besides him, there was only Yang Kai and that strange beast, no one else’s aura.
Yang Kai also frowned. He knew that there were more than one people in the Temple of Time, including Qiong Qi and Liu Yan.
However, the voices of this man and woman were completely different from the four he knew. They were not Liu Yan, Qiong Qi, or Yang Xiao and Yang Xue.
There was actually someone else inside this Divine Temple? Who were these two? Yang Kai’s heart sank as he faintly felt that this matter was a bit tricky. If these two had been inside this Divine Temple all this time, where had Yang Xiao and Yang Xue gone? Was the encounter between Qiong Qi and Liu Yan related to them?
Wind Chaser's intelligence wasn’t high, but he still exuded a strange aura, so when this man and woman’s voices rang out, he quickly retreated until he was right in front of Yang Kai, his large tail swishing a few times as his eyes darted around and his ears perked up as if he was trying to protect Yang Kai.
Over at the Wind Monarch’s side, after shouting once, there was no response. This caused his expression to become somewhat solemn, and after pondering for a moment, he said, “Which master is here? Why not show yourself!”
Although he was in a sorry state, his tone was neither servile nor overbearing. This was because he had the confidence to say this, activating the power of the endless hourglass and activating the power of the Divine Temple. Right now, the entire Passing of Time Temple was protecting him, so unless someone could destroy this Passing of Time Temple, no one could harm him. Although this man and woman who had never appeared and only spoke a few words seemed somewhat profound, the Wind Monarch was not a pushover, so there was naturally no need to fear them.
However, in this current situation, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. First, he had to find out the identity of this man and woman. It would be best if he could ask them in person before making other plans.
After the Wind Monarch asked, there was no sound from inside the Divine Temple, as if the voice just now was an illusion, causing the Wind Monarch to be somewhat confused. Turning his head to look at Yang Kai and Wind Chaser's reactions, he knew that it was definitely not an illusion. Yang Kai had definitely heard it, otherwise he wouldn’t have shown such an expression.
Wind Monarch frowned and said again, “Please show yourself!”
In the deepest part of the Divine Temple, inside a large hall, a transparent mirror the size of a water tank appeared. This mirror was not real and was formed from a magical technique, reflecting the situation of Yang Kai, the Wind Monarch, and the others. At this moment, a man and a woman were standing in front of this mirror, looking down at the situation inside.
This man and woman both looked extremely young. The man was a young boy of sixteen or seventeen years old while the woman was a young girl of only twenty or eighteen years of age. The man was handsome and tall, with a head full of snow white hair that was tied into a ponytail. His face was elegant and gave off a natural sense of familiarity.
The woman wore a light yellow dress, her figure graceful, her red lips and nose exquisite, her skin as white as snow, and her long black hair draped over her slender shoulders.
This young man and woman stood together, a pair of golden boy and jade girl.
