Colorful ribbon silk fluttered in the air as Madam Lan’s figure flickered, and the image of the Small Universe World behind her flickered. The Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage was extremely powerful, and as the colorful ribbon silk flew back and forth, it caused the Golden Crow to stagger and cry out in anger. Although it tried to counterattack, Madam Lan managed to avoid it in advance.
When Old Hong and the others saw this, they were overjoyed, knowing that what Madam Lan said was true. This Golden Crow really was like an arrow at the end of its flight, otherwise how could such a famous vicious beast have such a poor performance? With just Madam Lan alone, she had the qualifications to contend with it. Even if she seemed to be at a disadvantage, it would not be easy for her to lose.
With just Madam Lan’s strength alone she could achieve this level, if everyone in the hall were to act together, how could this Golden Crow survive?
Thinking so, Old Hong shouted, “Madam Lan, this old master is here!”
His fat body flew out and slapped down from the sky, following closely behind him. Yuan Xiaoman, Zhang Qi, and Ji Tian Xing each summoned their artifacts and sent them towards the Golden Crow.
The Low Rank Open Heaven Stage and the few MId Rank Open HEavven Stage masters all took action, no longer hesitating to follow.
In the blink of an eye, a battle broke out in the main hall. Secret Artifacts and Secret Techniques flew about, creating a lively scene.
In a corner of the hall, Yang Kai hid under his Shadowless Gauze and stared at the Golden Crow, his heart filled with emotion. This Golden Crow was so majestic, born with the sun and dancing with the sun, but now it had fallen like a tiger falling from the mountain, like a dragon swimming in shallow waters. The power of time was boundless, and no matter how powerful an existence was, it would not be able to resist the passage of time.
The Golden Crow was already an arrow at the end of its flight, and its last burst had been blocked by Madam Lan’s artifact, so it had obviously overdrawn its strength. Even so, with just Madam Lan alone, it shouldn’t be a match, but there were at least thirty Open Heaven Stage cultivators in the hall, four or five of whom were Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters. With everyone joining forces, the Golden Crow instantly fell into a disadvantageous position. From the looks of it, it was only a matter of time before it fell here.
Yang Kai smacked his lips. In the end, he didn’t know who the benefits would fall to, the value of the Golden Crow Corpse was immeasurable. Although he didn’t know what use the Golden Crow Corpse had, such a good thing was definitely not inferior to Sun's True Gold.
Unfortunately… his strength was insufficient, so he could only watch from the sidelines, unable to participate in such a show. Yang Kai felt an urgent need for strength.
On the battlefield, although the Golden Crow had fallen into a disadvantageous position, the Golden Crow's True Fire was too powerful and no one dared to touch it lightly. Every time the Golden Crow's True Fire spread out, everyone had no choice but to retreat, giving the Golden Crow a chance to breathe.
After half a cup of tea time, a miserable scream rang out as a Low Rank Open Heaven Stage was struck by the Golden Crow's True Fire, instantly melting half of his body. His companions immediately brought him away from the battlefield, but it was also likely that he would suffer a tragic end.
As time passed, the Golden Crow’s entire body was covered in wounds as magma-like blood flowed out, burning holes in the ground.
Out of the thirty or so Open Heaven Stage masters, four or five had already fallen, and the rest were all gasping for breath, their strength lacking. It wasn’t just the Low Rank Open Heaven Stage, even the Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage wasn’t much better. Although their strength was a bit stronger, the pressure they had to endure wasn’t something a Low Rank Open Heaven Stage could compare with, each of them exerting all their strength, even Madam Lan’s pretty face was pale.
Among everyone present, the pressure she was under was the greatest. The Golden Crow seemed to be annoyed that she had ruined its plans, and half of its attacks were directed towards her. If it weren’t for Madam Lan’s extraordinary strength and the many artifacts she possessed, she would have been unable to hold on.
At a certain moment, Old Hong suddenly shouted excitedly, “Everyone, hold on for a moment, this beast is about to die.”
The Golden Crow’s eyes were dim, no longer showing any of its previous brilliance. Its body was covered in countless wounds, and its overwhelming aura had also fallen to the bottom. It was indeed at the end of its life. Its body swayed, but it still stood tall, its pale golden eyes sweeping across the battlefield. The pride of an Ancient Beast caused it to disregard these people even though it was on the verge of death.
Madam Lan’s figure flashed as she shot out a stream of colorful ribbon silk.
The Golden Crow seemed to want to dodge, but it no longer had the strength to do so. The colorful ribbon silk directly struck its neck, and the faint sound of bones breaking rang out as the Golden Crow was sent flying towards a corner of the hall.
After this blow, Madam Lan also staggered and nearly fell to the ground.
With a bang, the Golden Crow fell to the ground and slid forward for a long time without moving.
But even so, no one dared to rashly investigate, mainly because they had suffered a loss from the Golden Crow faking its death. Before confirming that it was completely dead, no one dared to repeat the same mistake. If this fellow were to spit out Golden Crow's True Fire again, no one would be able to resist it in their current state.
The sound of heavy breathing echoed throughout the hall, and almost simultaneously, everyone took out Spirit Pills from their Space Rings and stuffed them into their mouths, quickly refining them to restore their strength.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Golden Crow lay there motionless.
At the same time, Yang Kai’s face twitched as he cursed in his heart. The Golden Crow’s position was less than three feet from where he was hiding, he hadn’t expected that Madam Lan would actually hit it here.
This was a bit awkward, but it was too late for him to leave now. Everyone in the hall was staring at his direction, their Divine Senses converging here. If he were to act now, his whereabouts would be exposed.
What should he do? If the Golden Crow died, those fellows would definitely come to investigate. Standing so close to them, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to hide from the perception of those few Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters. How could he explain himself to them later?
Just as he was hesitating, the Golden Crow in front of him suddenly moved slightly before slowly standing up.
Yang Kai only felt a chill run down his spine as all the hairs on his body stood on end. Although this Golden Crow looked miserable right now, if it wanted to kill him, it would not be any more difficult than pinching an insect.
He secretly prayed that it wouldn’t discover him!
Whatever it was that he was afraid of would come. It was unknown whether the Golden Crow had been beaten so badly that it had become dizzy, but when it stood up, it didn’t face Madam Lan and the others, instead facing Yang Kai’s hiding place.
Immediately after, the Golden Crow lowered its head and fixed its golden eyes on Yang Kai.
The distance between them was less than three feet, and Yang Kai could even feel the Golden Crow’s breathing. As their eyes met, Yang Kai knew that the Golden Crow must have discovered him.
The Shadowless Gauze was something even Madam Lan could not be fooled, so how could it be hidden from an adult Golden Crow?
Trying his best to put on a harmless look, Yang Kai sincerely smiled towards the Ancient Beast in front of him…
The Golden Crow opened its mouth and a scorching hot breath filled the air. Faint flames could be seen as the aura of death enveloped it.
Damn you! Yang Kai flew into a rage. He had been forced to compromise and beg it to let him go, only to have it mercilessly attack him!
In this life or death crisis, Yang Kai didn’t even wait for the Golden Crow's True Fire to erupt before he summoned a Golden Plume Feather and poured his strength into it. As the golden light flashed, a fierce aura burst out.
Not far away, Madam Lan and the others who were staring vigilantly at the Golden Crow standing up suddenly paled.
They had always been on guard against the Golden Crow’s old tricks, but now it seemed that the previous attack had not taken the Golden Crow’s life, but it should have been enough. What was with this burst of viciousness?
As their eyes trembled slightly, they saw a golden chicken that seemed to have been enlarged countless times suddenly appear. This golden chicken’s figure was huge, and the golden light radiating from its body seemed to cover the entire sky, not the slightest bit inferior to the Golden Crow’s monstrous might, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble.
“Mie Meng!” Old Hong cried out in alarm, Zhang Qi and Ji Tian Xing’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, while Yuan Xiaoman and Madam Lan’s red lips also opened slightly…
Many Open Heaven Stage masters’ minds were in chaos, unable to think straight.
They couldn’t understand why Mie Meng had appeared here. Why had it disappeared before, and how had it managed to enter?
But soon, Madam Lan noticed something was wrong and shouted, “It’s not the main body, it’s a Divine Ability!” Even if it wasn’t the main body, it wasn’t something they could resist at this moment.
Mie Meng lowered its head and looked down at the Golden Crow. With a strange gurgling sound, its sharp beak suddenly pecked downwards…
With a cracking sound, a huge hole appeared in the Golden Crow’s head. The Golden Crow’s body swayed a few times before collapsing to the ground, completely devoid of life. It was truly dead.
If the Golden Crow and Mie Meng had met in their peak state, the latter might not have been an opponent, but the Golden Crow here was already at the end of its lifespan. Although it had killed many Open Heaven Stage cultivators who coveted its treasures, it had also consumed a great deal of energy, and after fighting with Madam Lan and the others for a long time, it no longer had any strength left.
Mie Meng’s attack was simply unstoppable, so it wasn’t surprising for it to die.
After killing the Golden Crow, Mie Meng’s figure rapidly dissipated, transforming into specks of golden light and disappearing, along with the overwhelming power that accompanied it.
“En?” Old Hong's eyes widened as he stared in the direction the Golden Crow had fallen. On the other side, a young man was standing next to the Golden Crow’s corpse, his expression somewhat awkward. Old Hong couldn’t help asking, “Who are you?”
He had never seen this guy before, and the aura on this young man’s body… was too weak, not at the Open Heaven Stage.
Yang Kai…
Having no other choice but to use the feather Mie Meng had given him, the Shadowless Gauze had lost its ability to conceal him and his figure would naturally appear.
He had hidden himself until now, but at this critical juncture, he had still been exposed. Yang Kai felt helpless.
However, now was not the time to consider this. Since he had been exposed, he had no choice but to quickly escape. Thinking of this, Yang Kai cupped his fists respectfully, “Madam Lan!”
Old Hong and the others immediately turned to look at Madam Lan, thinking they were quite familiar with each other.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yang Kai diverted their attention, he took out his Wishful Bag, put the Golden Crow’s corpse into it, and disappeared.
