This was unavoidable. High Heaven Palace’s Sect Protection Array was so powerful but it was on the verge of collapse under the Demon Race’s attack. If Yang Kai had returned a little later, it would have been destroyed.
The Azure Sun Temple’s Sect Protecting Spirit Array was extraordinary, but it was still slightly inferior to High Heaven Palace’s, so how could it endure?
When the Great Array broke, Wen Zishan made a prompt decision and sent a message to High Heaven Palace asking for help because he knew that the Star Boundary was currently in a state of war and the various armies of the Star Boundary would be exhausted from defending against the enemy. As such, asking for help from the other armies might not be of any use. Only with the sixth stem army and its many powerful subordinates would Azure Sun Temple have hopes of surviving.
Not long after the request for help was sent out, the Lian Sisters were dispatched to confront the Demon Race’s Half-Saint. Wen Zishan then led his army to fight the Demon Race in the Azure Sun Temple, gradually stabilizing the situation.
Yang Kai swept his eyes over the situation inside the temple and warned, “Senior Sister, be careful!”
Clenching his legs, Wind Chaser dashed out, his Million Sword flashing with a cold light as he rushed towards the nearest Demon King. Seeing Wind Chaser's attack, the Demon King’s expression changed drastically as he decisively turned into a bloody mist and fled.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and grabbed at the Demon King. As the Space Laws fluctuated, the Demon King’s body suddenly froze, unable to move.
Yang Kai urged his mount forward, and with a flash of his Million Sword, he was already several kilometers away without looking back.
Behind him, the Demon King’s body swayed and his eyes bulged as he exploded, leaving nothing behind.
The several hundred people who had just been sucked into the Mysterious Boundary Bead were released again, and without needing Yang Kai to say anything, they immediately scattered and attacked the Demon Race.
Yang Kai rode his Wind Chaser for a moment and felt the bloodthirsty aura of the Wind Chaser, so he decided to let it freely display its power and use it to kill his enemies.
The Million Sword is invincible.
Demon Chief Commander and Demon Commander were killed one after another by the sword, so there was no need to mention the weaker one. Before they could even react to what had happened, their souls had already returned to the underworld. Even the Demon Kings were rarely able to last three breaths in front of Yang Kai.
He had just killed a Demon King who was entangled with Murong Xiaoxiao, and just as Murong Xiaoxiao was about to thank him, Yang Kai suddenly turned his head and looked towards a place ten kilometers away.
On the other side, Xia Ningchang’s figure was flying like a butterfly, struggling to resist the violent attacks of a mid-grade Demon King. Her figure was like a willow branch in a storm, unable to control itself.
Although Little Senior Sister was already an Emperor Realm, she had rarely fought with anyone since she started cultivating, let alone in a head-on battle like this. Among Yang Kai’s several wives, she had the least combat experience, and now that her opponent’s cultivation was slightly higher than hers, she was naturally no match for him. Even though she was quick-witted, she was still beaten by the Demon King to the point where she could barely stand.
In comparison, the Demon King’s face was filled with malevolence and his attacks were fierce, as if he wanted to kill Xia Ningchang.
When Yang Kai looked over, he saw that the Demon King had punched out, his fist nearly half the size of Xia Ningchang’s face as it flew towards her chest.
This punch was so powerful that even if there was a giant mountain in front of them, it would definitely explode, not to mention Xia Ningchang’s delicate body.
Murong Xiaoxiao cried out in alarm and her figure flickered as she tried to rush forward to help, but even if she was faster, it would be too late.
Yang Kai, on the other hand, didn’t move, but his spirit had also reached its limit at this moment, only when the situation was bad would he he acted to save Little Senior Sister.
Facing this punch that could split mountain, Xia Ningchang’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help flashing with a trace of fear. She had never felt so close to death before, not even when the Great Desolate Star Field had almost destroyed her Tongxuan Continent.
At this critical moment, Xia Ningchang raised her hand and a round bead the size of a dragon eye appeared between her two white jade fingers. This round bead looked ordinary and was brown in color, without any trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
In her mind, she recalled the advice Yang Kai had given her when he handed this round bead to her, “If there is any danger, throw this thing out and it will help you turn misfortune into fortune!”
Towards Yang Kai, Xia Ningchang naturally had complete trust in him. At this critical moment, she followed his instructions and struck the bead towards the Demon King.
When the Demon King saw Xia Ningchang throw out a round bead, he instinctively became vigilant, but with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he discovered that this round bead was nothing special. Looking at Xia Ningchang’s panicked expression, he immediately sneered, knowing that this weak and delicate human woman in front of him had been scared out of her wits and had become lost.
The fist that flew forward became more powerful, striking the incoming round bead.
Kacha…
A crisp sound rang out from his fist, followed by an intense pain. The Demon King’s expression changed drastically.
This punch didn’t land on an unremarkable round bead. When the fist collided with the round bead, the Demon King felt as if the world was pressing down on him.
His fist, which he was so proud of, could even resist a Demon Artifact, but in front of this strange bead, it was as fragile as paper.
An unstoppable force came from the front as the Demon King’s fist exploded, his arm shattered, and the round bead’s momentum didn’t decrease in the slightest as it smashed through half of the Demon King’s body towards a mountain behind him.
The Demon King let out a blood-curdling scream as he stared at Xia Ningchang, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
The scream was drowned out by a loud bang, and in an instant, the entire Azure Sun Temple fell silent as everyone turned their heads towards the source of the sound.
On the other side, a mountain peak that was several thousand meters tall was struck by some kind of attack, causing it to explode with a loud bang. In an instant, gravel and dirt flew everywhere, as if the world had collapsed.
By the time the noise subsided, the several thousand meter tall mountain peak was only a few hundred meters tall, its top covered in craters.
Xia Ningchang was stunned. Others didn’t know what had happened, but she was very clear that she had only released the bead that her Junior Brother had given her, but in the blink of an eye, she had severely injured a mid-grade Demon King. When the bead had struck the mountain peak, it had become like this…
That bead… was actually so powerful! Although Xia Ningchang knew that the thing Yang Kai had given her was definitely not ordinary and was definitely a life-saving treasure, she didn’t expect it to be so powerful. For a moment, she couldn’t react and even forgot to pursue her opponent.
Feeling the two pairs of eyes staring at her, Xia Ningchang turned her head and saw Murong Xiaoxiao, who were also wearing blank expressions while Yang Kai look at her with a smile.
Xia Ningchang couldn’t help sticking out her tongue and calming herself down. Reaching out her hand, the bead she had thrown out flew back and was caught between her fingers again.
Half of the mid rank Demon King’s body had been destroyed, but for a moment, he didn’t die. Instead, he had used this opportunity to put some distance between himself and Xia Ningchang. Seeing Xia Ningchang holding the bead in her hand, he let out a startled cry and turned around to flee.
Having suffered such a great loss once, how could he repeat the same mistake?
Xia Ningchang shouted and chased after him. Her opponent had been severely injured and had lost most of his strength, so if she didn’t kill him now, when would she be able to? The round bead in her hand was constantly thrown out, releasing terrifying attacks one after another. After dodging several times, the Demon King was unable to dodge and was struck by the bead, dying on the spot.
Shan Qingluo had personally seen Xia Ningchang chase after a Mid-Rank Demon King and kill him, so she couldn’t help taking out a round bead out of curiosity. This round bead was almost the same as the one in Xia Ningchang’s hand.
Not only did the two of them have these beads, Xue Yue, Su Yan, and Zhu Qing also had them.
Turning her head to look around, she found a High-Rank Demon King who was engaged in a fierce battle with Xi Lei. Shan Qingluo casually threw the round bead in her hand towards the High-Rank Demon King.
The bead quietly approached the Demon King, but this Demon King’s cultivation was quite high, so how could he not notice that someone was secretly attacking him from behind? With a flash of his hand, he grabbed the bead in an attempt to grab it.
He hadn’t seen what had happened to the mid rank Demon King, otherwise he wouldn’t have been so careless.
As soon as the bead entered his hand, the crisp sound of bones cracking rang out as an arm began to explode. This unremarkable bead had an unimaginable weight!
In his shock, he quickly withdrew his hand to avoid this attack. While he was distracted, Xi Lei's attack had already arrived and the lightning that filled the sky transformed into a pillar of lightning that wrapped around this High-Rank Demon King.
Amidst the crackling sounds, the High-Rank Demon King’s body stiffened and it was too late to dodge.
The round bead hit his body and exploded with a bang.
The round bead’s momentum didn’t decrease in the slightest as it smashed into the ground, causing the earth to shake and the mountains to shake. Xi Lei lost his footing and almost fell to the ground. The ground caved in as a huge pit appeared.
Crack…
A deep ravine opened up, with the pit as the center, and a spiderweb crack spread out.
“What the hell!” Xi Lei’s expression changed drastically as he turned to look at Shan Qingluo.
Shan Qingluo possessed the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider Bloodline and could be considered a member of the Demon Race, so the Demon Kings of the Wild Ancient Land treated her as one of their own and took good care of her.
The Demon Kings were well aware of Shan Qingluo’s strength. Even if they were to fight to the death, it would be impossible for her to deliver such a fierce blow. However, she had managed to do so, and if he had been hit by that blow just now, Xi Lei would have suffered a miserable fate.
Shan Qingluo was stunned. Just now, she had only struck out with her round bead out of curiosity, never having imagined that a High-Rank Demon King would be killed by her.
Hearing Xi Lei, she blinked and waved her hand, summoning the bead back into her palm and carefully examining it.
Xi Lei rushed over and stared at the bead in her hand, shouting, “What is this?”
“My husband gave it to me…” Shan Qingluo replied, “My sisters all have one.”
Xi Lei’s eyes narrowed as he focused his attention on the bead. Such a ferocious artifact was definitely an incredible artifact, but from what Shan Qingluo said, Yang Kai’s wives actually had one each. When had High Heaven Palace’s treasury become so rich?
