The Azure Dragon Spear pierced through the Blood Demon Half-Saint’s chest, causing his blood to drip down.
The Blood Demon’s eyes bulged as he gripped the spear with both hands, a look of shock on his face. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.
The crowd was in an uproar…
Even though everyone knew that Yang Kai wouldn’t lose this round after seeing who the opponent was, it was still quite a shocking sight to see him easily hit the Blood Demon Half-Saint with his spear.
In front of the enraged Yang Kai, his severely wounded body simply couldn’t resist.
The Blood Demon struggled for a moment before letting out a chuckle, his blood boiling as he shouted, “I refuse to accept this!”
If he had been given a fair chance to fight Yang Kai one on one, he would not have been in such a miserable state. However, he had fought Lin Rusong to the death before and now had less than twenty percent of his strength left. Facing Yang Kai’s lightning strike, he didn’t even have a chance to dodge.
He was well aware of how terrifying and difficult it was to deal with the Martial Dao True Intent. Under this spear, a strange force was wreaking havoc on his body and mind, causing his sorrow and anger to finally transform into a roar.
Many of the Star Boundary's Pseudo Emperors who were watching this scene wore expressions of joy as they recalled how this man had silently provoked Yang Kai when he was torturing Lin Rusong just now. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would be receiving the karma.
“Even if I die, I won’t let you off so easily!” Blood Demon Half-Saint roared again, the Blood Qi in his body suddenly releasing a dangerous aura as he quickly formed a series of hand seals, his body suddenly expanding.
“Yang Kai, be careful!” Bing Yun cried out in alarm. From the looks of it, Blood Demon seemed to be on the verge of self-destructing. Even though he was an arrow at the end of its flight, the self-destruction power of a Half-Saint wasn’t weak, and if he wasn’t careful, he would suffer a great loss.
“It’s just a desperate struggle!” Yang Kai coldly snorted as he shook the Azure Dragon Spear, sending out a violent energy from the spear. With a loud bang, the Blood Demon which had been struck by the spear point was directly shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions.
Before the skeleton even hit the ground, it had lost all of its vitality and turned into a dry corpse.
From the moment Yang Kai stepped onto the stage until the end of the battle, only ten breaths had passed. The Blood Demon Half-Saint hadn’t even used a single move. Even facing a true Demon Saint, this situation was unlikely to occur. This was definitely the fastest half-Saint to die in history.
Putting away his spear, Yang Kai glanced over towards the Demon Race camp and pointed his spear forward, “Who’s next to die?!”
Hearing this, Yang Yan frowned and asked worriedly, “Is he trying to use his World Will to influence the next candidate?”
Bing Yun’s expression changed slightly as she nodded, “It’s possible!”
The two choices it had made before and after had been completely random, and all of the Pseudo Emperor and Half-Saint present could only passively accept them. However, if it was Yang Kai, he might be able to use his World Will to influence them.
After all, in this Second Battle, the World Will had already brought him great benefits, allowing him to take advantage of it. If it were any other Pseudo Emperor or Half Saint, they would not have been able to win so easily.
However, in the next instant, Yang Kai’s figure suddenly disappeared from the Life and Death Arena, and by the time everyone had reacted, he had already returned to the high platform of the Star Boundary's side.
Yang Kai frowned and secretly sighed.
Just as Yang Yan had said, he really did want to use his World Will to exert some influence to see if he could remain on the Life and Death Arena for the third battle.
Unfortunately, the result was disappointing…
His gaze swept across the crowd. Since he had returned, who would be participating in the next round? Many of the Pseudo Emperors wore solemn expressions.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a figure disappear. Yang Kai was shocked and quickly turned his head towards the Life and Death Arena, his eyes narrowing.
Beside him, Yang Yan also covered her red lips, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
On the Life and Death Arena, in a corner near the Star Boundary, a pure white figure stood alone, her dress stained with blood and her body exuding a cold aura.
Bing Yun turned her head to look around and smiled lightly, “This time it's me?”
Lifting her eyes to look forward, she also saw a burly figure appear in the opposite corner. When she saw who this figure was, a trace of bitterness appeared in Bing Yun’s eyes.
“Jia Long!” Yang Kai grit his teeth and shouted, unable to resist the urge to curse.
It was one thing for the Star Boundary's third battle candidate to be Bing Yun, but the Demon Race’s candidate was actually Jia Long! This time, Bing Yun was probably in danger.
Jia Long was the strongest of the Demon Race’s Half-Saints, even if Yang Kai were to encounter him, he wouldn’t be able to gain any advantage. The endless Refined Corpse Army was simply too annoying, and its strength was also extremely tyrannical.
If it was just a battle for victory or defeat, it would still be fine. If they couldn’t win, there would still be a chance of survival, but on the Life and Death Arena, one side must fall. According to Yang Kai’s estimations, Bing Yun’s chances of winning were less than thirty percent, so there was a high chance she would fall on the Life and Death Arena.
Both of them came from Heng Luo Star Field, and ever since they came out from the Solitary Void Secret Realm, Bing Yun had been taking care of him and had even taken in Su Yan as her last disciple, carefully teaching her.
If something were to happen to Bing Yun here, Yang Kai didn’t know how he would explain it to Su Yan and Ji Yao. Would he have to tell them that he could only watch as Bing Yun was beaten to death by Jia Long without being able to intervene?
Thinking about the possible outcome of Bing Yun’s appearance, Yang Kai felt his scalp go numb.
“What should we do?” Yang Yan also panicked a little. This situation was something she had never imagined.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Kai clenched his fists and suddenly shot out his spear. The violent energy swept out, but the barrier on the high platform was completely unscathed, causing everyone else to jump in fright.
At this moment, on the Life and Death Arena, a great battle began.
Just like how Yang Kai wouldn’t give the Blood Demon Half-Saint any time to recover, Jia Long obviously didn’t plan on giving Bing Yun much time to recover. As soon as he appeared, he immediately activated his boundless Corpse Qi and filled the entire Life and Death Arena.
Bing Yun Long Sword swept outwards as a cold aura filled the air, blocking the spread of the Corpse Qi.
Jia Long grinned maliciously and raised his hand. From within the Corpse Qi, a number of figures appeared, each of them exuding a powerful aura. Seeing this, Bing Yun’s expression became serious and she stretched out her hand to touch her long sword, causing blood to flow out and the sword’s blade to hum as it swept out.
The refined corpses were cut in half one after another, but under the influence of the Corpse Qi, they quickly closed up and stood up again, continuing to charge towards Bing Yun.
Jia Long hid in the Corpse Qi, his figure flickering as he cast powerful Secret Technique towards Bing Yun from time to time.
As the Ice Laws filled the air, snowflakes fell from the sky and landed on the refined corpses, immediately transforming into hexagonal ice crystals that quickly spread out and froze the refined corpses into ice sculptures.
However, there were still two Refined Corpses that remained unaffected. These two Refined Corpses were refined from the corpses of Half-Saint cultivators, the most powerful of Jia Long’s subordinates. Both of them seemed to have retained some of their former strengths as they attacked from the left and right, assisting Jia Long in distracting Bing Yun.
In comparison, it had only been a few years since Bing Yun had broken through to the Pseudo Emperor, while Jia Long was a veteran Half-Saint from the Demon Territory and was the strongest below the Demon Saint. There was already a gap between their strengths, and now that Jia Long had obtained the assistance of a Refined Corpse, how could Bing Yun possibly be his opponent?
After exchanging blows for only a few dozen breaths, Bing Yun’s breathing became somewhat disordered, and in a moment of carelessness, she was struck by Jia Long’s palm, causing a cracking sound to ring out from her shoulder as she was sent flying.
On the Life and Death Arena, Bing Yun and Jia Long fought to the death.
On the Star Boundary’s stand, Yang Kai used all of his methods to bombard the light barrier. At first, he was alone, but soon Yang Yan joined in, followed by Sheng Yuzhu.
However, even with the combined strength of the three of them, they were unable to shake the barrier in the slightest.
The person next to him sighed, “Please stop, the three of you. This barrier is not something we can break, we’ve already tried it before. If we don’t determine life or death over there, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave.”
Yang Kai turned a deaf ear to this, his anger boiling as his attacks became more violent, causing many of the Pseudo Emperors’ expressions to change.
On the Life and Death Arena, Bing Yun’s cry of surprise rang out as she was once again struck by Jia Long’s Divine Ability. Her originally pale face now began to glow with a dark green light, obviously having been infected by the Corpse Qi Poison.
Yang Kai turned his head and saw Bing Yun fleeing in a sorry state, barely managing to hold on, and his eyes immediately bulged. From the looks of it, in less than half a cup of tea’s time, Bing Yun would be dead. At that time, all he could do was collect her corpse.
With his heart burning with anxiety, his mind raced. What could he do to help Bing Yun resolve this crisis?
Not to mention that the barrier on the viewing platform was extremely tough and they couldn’t break it, so what if they did? There was still another layer of barrier on the Life and Death Arena, so if they didn’t solve this problem in half a cup of tea time, they wouldn’t be able to make Bing Yun safe.
Suddenly, Yang Kai seemed to think of something and turned his head towards the Void Heavenly Cauldron.
Inside the Void Heavenly Cauldron, the Source Heavenly Fruit on the small tree seemed to be alive as it pulsed slightly, a brilliant light flowing from it as if it was about to mature.
When Lin Rusong had died, the Source Heavenly Fruit had undergone some changes, and when the Blood Demon Half-Saint had died, the Source Heavenly Fruit had undergone some changes.
Now, as long as one more person died here, the Source Heavenly Fruit should fully mature!
As long as there was one more person to die…
The one who died should not necessarily be Bing Yun!
Thinking so, Yang Kai suddenly became cheerful and secretly sent a message to Yang Yan, activating his Demonic Qi.
On the other side, Yang Yan, who was attacking the barrier, was stunned for a moment before her beautiful eyes lit up. After nodding imperceptibly, she suddenly turned around, the three rings on her wrist transforming into three streaks of fiery light that shot towards one of them as she shouted, “Cang Mo killed Feng Wuliang while escaping, despicable and shameless, the Heavenly Law will not tolerate it!”
At the same time she attacked, Yang Kai also suddenly turned around and released his Divine Soul Force like a tsunami, his left eye revealing a golden vertical eye. Facing Cang Mo’s eyes, Yang Kai stabbed out with his Azure Dragon Spear, a fist-sized black dot emitting an aura that could devour everything.
