A cold light flashed and the spear shadows flew about, each spear strike causing the Stone Demon Half-Saint to shiver in fear. In the eyes of others, this was just a dazzling spear technique, but in his eyes, there was a raging Azure Dragon waving its tail towards him. The dragon roars that seemed to penetrate deep into his soul seemed to have some kind of magical power, making it impossible for him to defend himself.
Crackling sounds rang out incessantly as wounds appeared on the Stone Demon’s hard body. In the blink of an eye, the Stone Demon’s entire body was covered in blood, the pain stimulating his ferocity. His eyes turning red, he suddenly raised his hand and raised his thumb, pressing it towards Yang Kai.
His speed was not fast, but instead seemed to be very slow, as if there was an invisible force in front of him stopping his movements.
However, when this finger pressed down, Yang Kai’s expression changed and he quickly retracted his spear to defend himself, transforming the Azure Dragon Spear into an illusory shadow and forming a solid defense in front of him.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Flames burst out in front of Yang Kai. Although there was no weapon attacking him, the sound of metal clashing rang out.
Suddenly, the spear shadows that filled the sky receded and Yang Kai raised his spear in front of his chest, a powerful force coming from the Stone Demon Half-Saint’s finger.
Looking down, his chest was slightly sunken.
“Die!” The Stone Demon Half-Saint roared as he thrust his thumb forward.
Yang Kai spat out a mouthful of golden blood as he flew backwards.
“Senior Brother Yang!” Lan Xun cried out in alarm. With a flick of her wrist, a green vine flew out from her sleeve and pulled Yang Kai over. Even though Yang Kai’s body was strong, after receiving a blow from a Half-Saint, his stomach still felt like it was about to collapse. If it was an ordinary Emperor Realm master who had suffered such a blow, they would have died a long time ago, but although he was coughing up blood, there was no danger to his life. He just couldn’t breathe.
Leaning against Lan Xun, he felt a soft touch on his back, causing Lan Xun’s face to redden slightly. Although she had known Yang Kai for many years and their relationship was quite good, she had never felt so close to him before, especially on this battlefield, where everyone was watching, making her feel even more embarrassed.
However, the concern in her heart surpassed everything else as she asked nervously, “How is Senior Brother?”
“I won’t die,” Yang Kai turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood before stabilizing himself and staring at the Stone Demon Half-Saint with a grin.
After this move, the Stone Demon Half-Saint couldn’t help showing a look of lingering fear. Thinking back to Yang Kai’s previous attack, even if they were enemies, he couldn’t help but admit that this guy really had some skill. It was just that he was a High-Rank Demon King, yet he was so powerful. If he were to become a Half-Saint, how could the other Half-Saints survive?
Firming his resolve to kill Yang Kai, he took a step forward and coldly snorted, “Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have some ability? Before, in the Demon Territory, you had that slut Yu Rumeng protecting you. Now that she’s gone, let’s see who can support you. If you obediently kneel down and beg for mercy, I can spare your life!”
Holding the Azure Dragon Spear in one hand, Yang Kai pointed it towards the Stone Demon Half-Saint and chuckled, “The one who would die is you!”
“Shameless boasting…” The Stone Demon Half-Saint’s expression suddenly changed as he looked down at his palm in horror, his eyes trembling violently.
He was a Stone Demon and naturally had a strong defense, which meant that he had a strong recovery ability. Ordinary injuries were nothing to him, so even if he had been injured by Yang Kai just now, he didn’t care. With his recovery ability, he would be able to recover in a few breaths.
But now, he was shocked to discover that his injuries showed no signs of healing. Not only that, they even showed signs of expanding.
At the center of his palm, the bloody hole that Yang Kai had pierced was filled with a strange energy that constantly corroded the surrounding flesh and blood. His proud regenerative ability was completely useless here, and as the energy corroded the wound, it slowly expanded.
Stone Demon Half-Saint turned pale with fright as he hurriedly circulated his Qi to resist, but it was to no avail. On the contrary, his Demonic Qi had become nourishment for this strange energy. The more he resisted, the stronger the energy became, and the faster it corroded him, causing him to shout, “What is this? What the hell is this?”
“Dead people don’t need to know so much!”
With Yang Kai’s ability as a High-Rank Demon King, it was impossible for him to achieve such a feat. In the past, Yang Kai didn’t have this ability, but after cultivating for several dozen years in the Mysterious Small World's Ancient Battlefield and absorbing the Martial Dao True Intents of Great Demon God and Passing of Time Great Emperor, he had been able to pry into the mysteries of the World Force. Although these several dozen years of hard work hadn’t allowed his cultivation to improve, it had still allowed him to reap great benefits.
Relying on the strength of his predecessors, Yang Kai already possessed his own Martial Dao True Intent, and this True Intent originated from the Great Demon God and the Passing of Time Greaat Emprror. It was extremely profound, and even a Demon Race Half-Saint wouldn’t be able to resolve it. If he couldn’t resolve this True Intent, how could his wounds heal?
“I said I would sacrifice you to my spear, I’ve always kept my word.”
By the time he finished his last word, Yang Kai had already pounced forward and thrust his spear towards the Stone Demon’s chest. No matter how many Demon Hearts this Stone Demon had refined, there would definitely be one in his chest. He would destroy it first.
At the same time he made his move, Mo Xiaoqi also used the power of the Illusion Heaven Butterfly. Amidst the flickering light, the Stone Demon’s expression became slightly sluggish, obviously having his Soul disturbed.
However, it only took him an instant to escape. Although the Illusion Heavenly Butterfly was powerful, the gap between Mo Xiaoqi’s and a Half-Saint’s cultivations was simply too great, so its effects were limited.
In an instant, Lin Yun’er had already descended from the sky. No one knew when she had made her move, but she had grasped the timing perfectly, causing the Half-Saint to fall to the ground, caught off guard by Lin Yun’er’s two small hands.
Although it was clearly a delicate body, at this moment it had become even heavier than a mountain. When Lin Yun’er’s hands grabbed onto the Stone Demon’s shoulders, the Stone Demon’s body actually bent and his knees almost fell to the ground, causing the ground to crack with a loud bang.
Yang Kai’s spear had arrived, his face filled with murderous intent.
The Stone Demon wanted to dodge, but how could he?
With a crackling sound, the long spear pierced through the stone demon chest. Yang Kai circulated his Demonic Qi and shouted, “Die!”
Hong… Stone Demon Half-Saint’s body staggered backwards as a terrifying Demonic Qi erupted from his body. Lin Yun’er cried out in alarm as she was sent flying, a green vine appearing out of nowhere and wrapping her up. It was Lan Xun.
Lin Yun’er nodded, not needing to thank her. Over the past few days, the three young girls had fought side by side, sharing life and death together, forming an extraordinary friendship.
Looking up, a huge hole could be seen in the chest of the Stone Demon Half-Saint. From the front, his internal organs were clearly visible.
Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to survive after suffering such a heavy blow, but if the Demon Heart wasn’t destroyed, the Demon Race will not die, this Stone Demon Half-Saint obviously had more than one Demon Heart.
However, at this moment, he no longer had the dignified aura of a Half-Saint, and for the first time, a look of fear appeared on his well-defined face. Looking at Yang Kai, it was as if he had seen a ghost, causing him to involuntarily retreat.
He stared at Yang Kai coldly before turning around and fleeing.
After Yang Kai displayed his current combat strength, he might be able to put up a fight. Yang Kai might not have an easy time, but his fate wouldn’t be any better.
However, the strange power attached to the wound caused him to tremble in fear, unable to neutralize it or suppress it. Being contaminated by this power, it was as if he could only wait for death.
This strange power completely shattered his confidence in fighting Yang Kai to the death.
However, after just a few steps, a giant dragon suddenly appeared in front of him and opened its mouth to bite him.
He had seen this scene many times before and knew that this giant dragon was not a giant dragon. It was just that Yang Kai’s attack had affected his mental state, causing him to have an illusion.
Suddenly realizing that Yang Kai possessed the Space Laws, how could he possibly escape from him?
Before he could finish his thoughts, he felt his head buzz, as if he had been struck by a sledgehammer. Immediately after, his thoughts sank into darkness…
“He actually… killed him.” Lan Xun’s small mouth opened slightly, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light as she stared blankly at Yang Kai, who had single-handedly stabbed his enemy’s head with his spear. That moment of heroism was dazzling.
“We won, we won!” Lin Yun’er jumped up and cheered. She, Lan Xun, and Mo Xiaoqi had fought with this Stone Demon Half-Saint for several days and had escaped death countless times. In the end, it was all thanks to the power of various Heavenly Treasures that they had been able to delay this Half-Saint, but Yang Kai had only appeared for half a cup of tea time before he had killed him.
She didn’t even consider how great the gap between her and Yang Kai’s strength was, only knowing that they had killed the enemy together, so she was naturally happy.
Stone Demon Half-Saint’s head had been pierced through, so even though he still had other Demon Hearts in his body, he couldn’t move for a while. Yang Kai naturally took advantage of his weakness to take his life, and after stabbing him a few times with his Azure Dragon Spear, half of his body exploded into dust.
Experiencing the growth of his strength, Yang Kai couldn’t help sighing. If he had this strength back in the Passing of Time Temple, fighting against the Wind Monarch wouldn’t have been so difficult. He could clearly feel that at this moment, relying on the Azure Dragon Spear and the Martial Dao True Intent he had comprehended, he truly had the qualifications to challenge a Half-Saint or Pseudo Emperor, unlike before, whenever he encountered a Half-Saint or Pseudo Emperor, he had to consider whether he could defeat them or flee.
The noisy battlefield seemed to fall silent for a moment.
The Star Soul Palace battle had lasted for several days, but this was the first time a Half-Saint had fallen!
Although the Star Soul Palace was currently in chaos, when the aura of a Half-Saint suddenly disappeared, it was still perceived by many people, not to mention that Yang Kai’s appearance from the sky had attracted many people’s attention. Even though many human and Demon Race masters were engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy in front of them, many of them were still paying attention to him.
