At this moment, Du Rufeng’s eyes were cloudy, the light in his eyes had long since disappeared, and his aura was extremely weak.
Yang Kai stared at him coldly and thrust his spear forward, causing his head to explode and red and white matter to splash out.
With a flick of his spear, Yang Kai put away Du Rufeng’s Space Ring, but before he could take a closer look, Yang Kai staggered off to the side. Not far away, the Great General was lying on the ground, his golden fur extremely dull.
Yang Kai bent down and picked it up, scanning it with his Divine Sense before relaxing. Although the Great General’s aura was weak, it didn’t seem like his life was in danger.
To be honest, Yang Kai didn’t expect that the Great General would actually run out of the fruit garden to find him and even save him in a moment of crisis. Just like how he couldn’t understand why the Great General would favor him so much, what exactly was it that attracted him?
At this moment, it was not the time to think about such things. While he and Du Rufeng were engaged in a life or death struggle, the rumbling sounds from the sky had never ceased. Obviously, Old Man Xu was using the Seven Skillful Land's Formation to fight against many Open Heaven Stage masters. If there was any movement, it would be good, but Yang Kai was afraid that if there was no movement, he would be in deep trouble.
Although he didn’t know if Old Man Xu would be able to succeed in his revenge, now was the best time to escape from the Seven Skillful Land.
However, before that, he had to first find Old Fang and Die You, hoping that they would be safe and sound. Previously, when Old Xu had used the Protector Formation to attack, the Seven Skillful Land side had suffered countless casualties, so he didn’t know how many people had died in the garden.
Carrying the Great General in his arms, Yang Kai had only flown a short distance when he saw two figures approaching from the distance. It was Old Fang and Die You. Yang Kai secretly felt lucky that the two of them hadn’t been affected by the Protector Formation's attack, otherwise, with their strength, they wouldn’t have been able to escape.
At this moment, the entire Fire Spiritual Land was in chaos as figures flew about like headless flies. Basically, no one knew what was happening.
As soon as they met, the old man couldn’t help asking, “Brother, what happened to you?”
Die You also covered her mouth as her beautiful eyes trembled slightly, “Such a serious injury…”
“It’s a long story!” Yang Kai smiled bitterly and shook his head, “Now is not the time to talk about this, it’s more important for us to leave this place.”
“What exactly happened?” Old Fang asked. Today’s events had happened too suddenly. A huge Spirit Array suddenly appeared in the sky above the Fire Spiritual Land, followed by an earth-shattering attack. More than half of the fruit garden had been destroyed, and more than sixty percent of the thousand servants had died. Seeing that the situation was not looking good, he and Die You quickly ran out.
“We’ll talk on the way!” Yang Kai didn’t have the time to explain anything and just pushed his strength to fly upwards.
On the way, he briefly explained the situation to Old Fang and Die You and also explained that he had brought Old Xu here before. The two of them listened with wide eyes, neither of them having expected such a bizarre thing to happen. However, this was indeed a good opportunity to leave the Seven Skillful Land. Now that all the masters of the Seven Skillful Land were dealing with Old Xu, it was likely that no one would care about their lives.
There were many people who shared the same thoughts as them, and most of them were servants. After all, after spending so much time in the Seven Skillful Land, everyone knew that there was no way out. Although the outside world was filled with dangers, as long as one dared to risk their lives, there was at least some hope. However, if one was a servant in the Seven Skillful Land, unless they were willing to degrade themselves and break through to the First Order Open Heaven Stage, there was no chance for them to stand out.
From all directions, many servants were flying out.
However, when he approached the great array, Yang Kai found that his thoughts were too simple. The Seven Skillful Land's great array was completely flawless, so no one could escape. Thinking about it, it must have been difficult for Old Man Xu to seize control of the great array, so how could he give the people of Seven Skillful Land a chance to escape?
The shockwaves from the attacks coming from outside the Fire Spiritual Land were violent and would occasionally strike down, causing the entire Fire Spiritual Land to fall into chaos.
From time to time, large or small runes would appear in the sky, activating the Protector Formation power and sending out a barrage of attacks.
Yang Kai saw with his own eyes that some of the surrounding servants were killed by the Protector Formation because they couldn’t dodge in time.
Just as Yang Kai’s heart was secretly palpitating, he suddenly heard a miserable scream from beyond the sky, followed by a violent energy fluctuation that swept across the entire world, causing the entire Fire Spiritual Land to tremble.
A moment later, a figure fell from the sky and landed directly in front of the many servants.
Old Fang’s face paled, “It’s Water Spiritual Land’s Protector Venerable!”
Die You asked in a trembling voice, “Is he dead?”
Old Fang shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Water Spiritual Land's Protector Venerable fell to the ground and remained motionless for a long time. The many servants looked at each other, none of them daring to go forward to investigate.
At this moment, a beam of light slashed down from the sky and directly cut the Water Spiritual Land's Protector Venerable in half.
This time, there was no need for Old Fang to answer; everyone knew that this Protector Venerable was dead.
Yang Kai didn’t care about his injured body at all. In a flash, he appeared in front of Water Spiritual Land’s Protector Venerable corpse, took his Space Ring, stuffed it into his pocket, and disappeared.
When Old Fang and Die You regained their senses, they could only hear Yang Kai’s voice.
It wasn’t until this moment that the servants finally reacted and began searching for Yang Kai’s whereabouts, but where could they find him? The Space Laws fluctuated wildly as Yang Kai’s figure flickered and disappeared, causing everyone to be filled with hatred!
The wealth of the Protector Venerable was unimaginable to a servant. If they had acted quickly and boldly just now, they might have been able to snatch the Space Ring, but now they had let others take advantage of it.
Old Fang and Die You quietly withdrew from the crowd and flew side by side towards a certain direction, quickly leaving the Fire Spiritual Land and heading straight towards the marketplace.
The Seven Skillful Land's formation was so large that no one could leave, but the Seven Skillful Land's interior was unimpeded.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at a certain corner of the market. Old Fang looked around and called out softly, “Yang Kai, Yang Kai!”
Yang Kai stuck his head out from behind a building and waved, “Here, here!”
Old Fang and Die You quickly rushed over. After turning a corner, they saw Yang Kai leaning against the wall, covered in blood, his face pale as he gasped for breath, holding Great General Si Chen in his arms.
Old Fang was both angry and amused at the same time, “Brother, you’re just greedy for money!”
If those servants had reacted any faster, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to escape. Humans die for wealth while birds die for food. The Space Ring of the Protector Venerable was enough to make everyone’s eyes go red.
Yang Kai coughed lightly, “When one is poor, they can only risk their lives!”
Die You retorted, “You still consider yourself poor!”
Yang Kai waved his hand, “Let’s not talk about this for now. No one has come to the marketplace yet, and there is no Protector Formation here, so it should be safe for us to hide here. I need to recuperate for a while.”
Old Fang nodded solemnly, “Rest assured and heal your injuries. Young Lady Die You and I will protect you.”
“Then I’ll have to trouble you,” Yang Kai didn’t stand on ceremony. In this current situation, there was no point in thinking too much about it, so he could only take things one step at a time and see if the final outcome would be Old Man Xu’s successful revenge or the Seven Skillful Land's side repelling the enemy. However, from the scene of Water Spiritual Land’s Protector Venerable being killed just now, it seemed that the Seven Skillful Land's side was in a precarious situation.
Although Old Man Xu was alone, with the Seven Skillful Land's Protector Formation, he was not necessarily a match for these people.
Yang Kai didn’t care who won or lost in these two groups. As long as Duan Hai died, he would be fine. If Duan Hai survived, he would have no way to survive.
Taking out a healing pill from his Space Ring, Yang Kai stuffed it into his mouth and also gave a few pills to the Great General before sitting down cross-legged to meditate.
Although his injuries this time were serious, they weren’t fatal. He was well aware that as long as his injuries weren’t too serious, he would be able to recover sooner or later by relying on his Dragon Vein and Wood Element strength.
The entire market place was silent. After all, it wasn’t the three day rest after a month, so there was naturally no one here. After a while, Old Fang suddenly remembered something and said, “Young Lady Die You, I’ll go take a look. You take good care of Brother Yang.”
Die You immediately understood what Old Fang was thinking and smiled, “Go, be careful.”
Old Fang grinned and disappeared in a flash.
The commotion outside was endless, and it was obvious that the battle was quite fierce. Yang Kai’s chaotic breathing had stabilized, causing Die You to click her tongue in wonder. Ordinary people who suffered such serious injuries would need at least half a month to recover, but Yang Kai had only used half a day to recover. It was undeniable how strong his body was.
Old Fang returned dejectedly, but when Die You asked, he found out that there was nothing in the market place, causing his original idea of picking up something cheap to fail.
Yang Kai was still in the midst of healing his injuries, and it was unknown when the battle outside would end. The two of them didn’t know what to do next, nor did they have any interest in talking.
After a long time, Yang Kai suddenly opened his eyes, “Someone’s coming.”
Die You and Old Fang were startled and quickly swept their Divine Sense out, quickly discovering something. When they looked up, they saw a small figure flying over, carefully looking around as if she was a thief.
However, the other party also quickly noticed Yang Kai and the others, hesitated for a moment, and then flew over.
“Halt!” Old Fang shouted.
Yang Kai raised his hand and said, “I know her, there’s no need to be nervous.” Looking up, he couldn’t help laughing, “Why are you here?”
The person who had arrived was none other than Asun, who had been brought into the Fire Spiritual Land by Duan Hai along with Yang Kai. She was quite lucky, and there were no signs of injury on her body, so she should have been able to avoid the attack of the Protector Formation.
Asun said happily, “Senior Brother Yang, you’re here too?”
Yang Kai said, “The Fire Spiritual Land is too dangerous, come and hide.”
Asun couldn’t help nodding, “I think so too. It’s too chaotic over there right now. Even the Venerable died and many of our fellow servants were killed.”
