“There’s a road to heaven, but you refuse to take it, instead you insist on going to hell!” The Shadow Demon sneered, his figure suddenly fading as he disappeared.
“Qian Zhong, where are you going?” A Half Saint asked.
“Kill!” Shadow Demon Half Saint’s voice came from the direction of the black dot.
As soon as these words came out, the Half Saints all raised their eyebrows, suddenly realizing what that strange feeling was. In this battle, they had not seen Yang Kai! Logically speaking, Yang Kai held a high position amongst the Human Race and seemed to be some kind of Commander, so it was impossible for him not to appear in such an important battle.
Thinking back to the movements of the Human Race’s army just now, how could they not know that the invasion of the Human Race was fake? It was more likely to draw their attention.
This human boy was proficient in the Space Laws, so it was reasonable for him to sneak into the Demon Territory during this chaos.
“He’s proficient in the Space Force, I’m afraid he won’t be easy to kill! Qian Zhong also tried to kill him before, but he failed,” A Half Saint frowned.
“If he really did infiltrate the Demon Territory, he should have become too complacent and let his guard down. It’s not impossible to try.”
“I hope so, but that human brat has a Space Artifact and has always been protected by traitors.”
“Bai Ya, Bai Zhuo, and that strange stone man both appeared just now and weren’t with that little brat. I’m afraid he only brought along that bastard Wind Chaser this time. If Qian Zhong were to attack, even you and I would find it difficult to guard against him. As long as that little brat relaxes a little, Qian Zhong has a high chance of succeeding.”
“That’s true, I hope Qian Zhong can bring back some good news.”
At this point, the Half Saints didn’t say anything more, only keeping a vigilant eye on the movements of the Human Race’s army, ready to defend against any counterattacks.
Shadow Demons were naturally proficient in the art of concealment and assassination, just like rabbits eating grass and wolves eating meat. This was an instinct that originated from their bodies, and the Half Saint among Shadow Demons was a top master in this field.
Qian Zhong concealed his figure and aura as he passed through the giant black dot in the sky and quietly returned to the Demon Territory.
Yang Kai’s infiltration into the Demon Territory was just his guess, because he really hadn’t seen any trace of Yang Kai on the battlefield just now, but he didn’t dare to be too certain about the truth.
However, the moment he returned to the Demon Territory, he was certain that his guess was correct.
This was because Yang Kai’s aura had clearly been left behind in the place where he had appeared. Qian Zhong was overjoyed. All of the Half Saint and Demon Saints hated Yang Kai to the bone, but this boy was proficient in the Space Laws. His strength was lacking, but his ability to escape was top-notch. After the battle of the Eternal Heaven Continent, the Demon Saints had been unable to do anything to him.
Later on, this person had wreaked havoc in the Demon Territory and split the Demon Territory’s continents, inciting the rebellion of three Demon Saints and even a large number of Demon Race masters, causing the Demon Race to hold a grudge.
Before invading the Star Boudnary, the Demon Saints had said that if anyone could take Yang Kai’s head, the Demon Saints would personally guide the person who had done meritorious service and help them ascend to the peak.
If it was an ordinary reward, the Half Saints might not be tempted, but to receive the personal guidance of the Demon Saints, who wouldn’t be jealous?
This credit is mine! Qian Zhong thought to himself, but he didn’t show any excitement. An excellent assassin was able to accurately control the changes in his mood without any fluctuations.
There was no need for him to investigate any further. Just by looking up, he saw Yang Kai riding his Wind Chaser just three kilometers away from him, leisurely walking forward as if he was taking a stroll through the Demon Territory.
At such a distance, to Qian Zhong, it was as if his face was pressed to the ground and his killing blow was ready to strike.
However, before he could act, he suddenly saw Yang Kai, who was three kilometers away, turn around and flash a brilliant smile in his direction, a smile filled with a sense of success.
Qian Zhong’s heart skipped a beat as he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but before he could react, his body suddenly collided with a gentle force. This force was invisible, and Qian Zhong was completely unaware of it.
There wasn’t much damage to his strength, it was likely he was just using it to investigate, but after colliding with this force, his figure which was hidden in the void was immediately revealed.
“I’ve been waiting for a long time!” A voice came from the side, and following this voice, a figure stepped out from the void, dressed in white robes, one hand behind his back, calm and composed, giving off the aura of a Grandmaster!
Li Wuyi! Qian Zhong’s hair stood on end as his eyes bulged, his mind filled with questions: Why is he here!?
In the Star Boundary, the number of Pseudo Emperor masters is not large, and they couldn’t compare to the Demon Race’s Half Saint masters. Even with the help of Yu Rumeng and the others, the number of Pseudo Emperors in the Star Boundary was still somewhat lacking compared to the Demon Race, but the difference wasn’t that great.
Among all the Pseudo Emperors, Li Wuyi was the most famous and the most feared amongst the Half Saint.
This was because at least three Half-Saints had died at his hands. This was an existence that stood above all other Pseudo Emperors and Half Saints. The number one person below the Star Boundary’s Great Emperor was no joke.
Although Qian Zhong was powerful enough to not put any of the Star Boundary's Pseudo Emperors in his eyes, he did not dare underestimate Li Wuyi.
Therefore, the moment he saw Li Wuyi, Qian Zhong understood that this was a trap! A seductive trap! And he had stepped right into it.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qian Zhong’s figure shot back, and not far behind him was the two worlds passage. As long as he returned to the two worlds passage, he would be able to return to the Demon Land. At that time, Li Wuyi wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. On the contrary, he would be able to cooperate with his companions to see if he could kill Li Wuyi here.
However, just as he was about to take action, he felt a scorching heat behind him. This heat seemed to be able to incinerate everything in this world, and even before the attack arrived, Qian Zhong’s face was filled with shock.
His retreating figure suddenly came to a stop, not pausing for even a moment, fully displaying his powerful foundation as he dodged to the side, quickly turning his head to look back.
In front of the passageway between the two worlds, a slender woman with bright eyes and white teeth was smiling lightly at him. She formed a hand seal and a fiery light flew out like a dragon, chasing after him. As she cast a spell, the woman smiled and said, “Yang Kai, there really are idiots who walk right into the trap.”
Yang Kai spurred his horse forward and laughed, “If he’s not stupid, how can he make me look smart?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he sent out a palm strike towards Qian Zhong from afar, causing the Space Laws to tremble as he shouted, “Condense!”
At the same time, Li Wuyi also slowly raised his palm and pushed it towards Qian Zhong’s direction. Although he was strong, his opponent was also a Half Saint, so this palm strike was full force.
The combined strength of the two suddenly froze the space in front of them!
Qian Zhong, who was fleeing like a shadow, suddenly felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on his body, causing his blood to boil and his breathing to become sluggish.
The scorching hot energy quickly assaulted Qian Zhong, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. With a loud shout, he released his Demonic Qi, causing the surrounding space to crack like a mirror.
With a loud bang, the void shattered and chaos began to form.
Qian Zhong also took advantage of this opportunity to break free from the shackles of the void, but after just a moment of delay, the fiery light had already arrived in front of him. At this moment, Qian Zhong’s strength had been completely exhausted, and although this gap was so short that it was almost negligible, it was still perfectly grasped by the woman.
The flames enveloped Qian Zhong in an instant before transforming into a ring of fire that rapidly shrank and tightly bound him.
As the ring of fire wrapped around his body, the burning power caused the Demonic Qi around his body to sizzle. Shocked, Qian Zhong bit the tip of his tongue and his aura suddenly soared. The ring of fire binding him actually showed signs of collapsing.
With two whooshes, another two streaks of fire flew out from the woman’s hands and like the first streak of fire, they flickered like fire dragons as they flew towards Qian Zhong.
The three flames from the front and back transformed into three rings of fire that bound Qian Zhong’s chest, waist, and legs. Qian Zhong, who was on the verge of breaking free, also wore a look of despair.
Yang Kai and Li Wuyi’s attacks had arrived at the same time. Li Wuyi’s clothes fluttered in the wind as his Emperor Qi surged and he shot out a finger attack towards Qian Jiao. This finger attack seemed to be extremely slow, but it seemed to be completed in an instant. When this finger attack was released, Qian Zhong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His head suddenly flew back and a finger-sized hole appeared on his forehead, but strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out, only his whole body was trembling.
Yang Kai also pointed his finger, but unlike Li Wuyi’s calm and collected appearance, this finger strike caused the void to tremble and the world to tremble.
Qian Chong’s chest suddenly caved in as his entire body rapidly shrank towards his chest.
Collapse!
Li Wuyi’s eyes lit up when he saw this. As a master of the Space Laws, once Yang Kai used this technique, Li Wuyi knew that this technique was quite amazing and had already deeply understood the essence of the Space Laws.
The scene of a living person rapidly collapsing was somewhat strange. If Yang Kai was alone, it would have been impossible for him to defeat this Shadow Demon Half-Saint, but with the combined strength of Li Wuyi and Yang Yan, he was able to catch the other party off guard for an extremely short time.
In just three breaths of time, Qian Zhong’s body had completely collapsed and a small black dot had formed in the void.
The three flame rings transformed into rings and flew towards Yang Yan, wrapping themselves around her fair wrist. Just as she was about to say something to Yang Kai with a smile, her expression suddenly changed and she shouted, “Be careful!”
Boom!
The small black dot suddenly expanded and exploded into countless figures, each one of them looked like Qian Zhong's, each one of them possessing the exact same aura, making it impossible to tell which one was real.
Thousands of figures fled in all directions.
Li Wuyi and Yang Yan attacked together, and many of them were killed before they even took a few steps.
Yang Kai’s skin tightened as he felt like he was being stared at by a fierce beast. Looking up, he saw a figure rushing towards him, and in that figure’s eyes, there was an unforgettable hatred and determination.
“A cornered beast will still fight!” Yang Kai coldly snorted, flicked his wrist, and summoned the Mountain River Bell. With a light flick of his finger, a melodious bell chime rang out, and the World Energy capable of suppressing the world swept the four directions.
