At this moment, both Qi Jin and Ling Chunqiu couldn’t help wondering whether it was a good idea to ruin Bai Qi’s breakthrough. If they allowed him to advance in that direction, they might even be able to restrain the Proprietress and prevent her from displaying her full strength.
But now, Bai Qi had no hope of breaking through and was doomed to die. The Proprietress was furious and no longer had any worries!
The Wind and Thunder Whip lashed out towards Qi Jin and Ling Chunqiu. Although the Proprietress had suffered heavy injuries, her aura was much stronger than before. When the whip shadow struck, a terrifying force swept out, causing Qi Jin and Ling Chunqiu’s eyelids to twitch.
With such a violent attack, who would dare face it head-on? All of them quickly dodged to the side.
With a loud bang, it was as if the world had collided with each other. With a single whip, the earth shattered and a deep mark appeared in the void, unable to be repaired for a long time.
However, before Qi Jin and Ling Chunqiu could even catch their breath, the Wind and Thunder Whip swept through the air again.
Qi Jin’s heart trembled as he realized just how terrifying the Proprietress's true strength was. He was also a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master, so he had thought that even if the Proprietress was stronger than him, her strength would be limited, but from the power of these two whips, it was obvious that Lan Youruo was far stronger than him.
A soft whip danced through the air, sending out a strong gust of wind. Qi Jin and Ling Chunqiu’s combined strength was only able to parry, unable to fight back at all, leaving them in a miserable state. The ground was ripped apart, and the entire Secret Territory trembled as the void trembled.
Without any constraints, the Proprietress no longer held anything back. Under her towering rage, this Secret Realm simply couldn’t hold on, and it was only a matter of time before it shattered.
“Hurry up and help!” Qi Jin roared.
Hearing this, Yue He came back to her senses and stared deeply at Yang Kai before rushing towards the battlefield.
In the next moment, a series of rumbling sounds rang out as the World Energy between the Heaven and Earth surged violently, causing the four figures to fight endlessly.
This Locking Yang Land was, after all, just a Secret Realm, so how could it withstand the impact of four Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters? What’s more, under the Proprietress’ murderous intent, she didn’t hold back at all. In just a short period of time, the Locking Yang Land had already begun to fall apart and the chaotic Space Laws began to drift about the Secret Realm.
In such a situation, Yang Kai couldn’t intervene at all. Although he was worried about the Proprietress’ condition, there was a limit to what he could do at this moment. He stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth and rushed over to Old Bai’s side. Looking at Old Bai, Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
Although he hadn’t known Old Bai for long, their temperaments were quite similar, so he could be considered the first true friend he had met in the Outer Universe.
He had thought that this time, Old Bai would soar into the sky and become famous, but at this critical moment, he had fallen into the abyss.
“Everyone has their own fate, so perhaps this is my fate!” Old Bai smiled bitterly. Although he was still struggling to maintain the balance of his body’s strength, how could the Yin-Yang + Five Elements Force be so easily pacified? It rampaged about within his body, mutually reinforcing and suppressing each other, causing blood to seep out from Old Bai’s pores, making him look extremely miserable.
“What consequences will it have?” Yang Kai licked his dry lips and asked.
“At best, my Martial Dao will be destroyed, at worst, my soul will be destroyed!” Old Bai squeezed out a smile, “No matter what, I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you anymore.”
“Don’t think too much…”
Old Bai said bitterly, “I know my own things clear.”
As the two of them spoke, a rumbling sound rang out and the ground began to shake. This Secret Realm was finally unable to withstand the attacks of four Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters and completely collapsed.
When the Secret Realm was destroyed, the chaotic power of space rushed towards him from all directions. If it was an ordinary Emperor Realm master, they would have no choice but to follow the flow, but if they did, they would only be dragged into the Void Crack.
Fortunately, Yang Kai was proficient in the Space Laws and was able to use them to protect himself and Old Bai as they escaped from the chaotic void.
Looking up, the Proprietress, Qi Jin, and the others also rushed out of the Secret Realm. The Proprietress's beautiful eyes glanced over worriedly, and when she saw that Yang Kai and Old Bai were unharmed, she relaxed.
On the other hand, Qi Jin’s expression was ugly and his heart was bleeding.
This Locking Yang Land was one of his Gold Rainbow Province's Secret Realm, and the Yang Qi was inexhaustible. Relying on this Locking Yang Land, Gold Rainbow Province might be able to achieve great things in the future, but today’s battle had completely destroyed it, so how could he not feel pained?
However, now was not the time to be distressed about this Locking Yang Land. The first problem he had to face was how to calm Lan Youruo’s overflowing anger.
Fortunately, they weren’t the only ones here to seek revenge, otherwise it would have been quite troublesome.
Immediately exhaling, he shouted, “Elder Hai, if you don’t act now, when will you?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light slashed from afar. This sword light was so powerful that it seemed as if it could even shatter stars.
No one had expected that Qi Jin and the others would have helpers, and judging from the strength of this newcomer’s attack, he was definitely stronger than Qi Jin.
The Proprietress didn’t expect it, and before she could react, it was already too late. Although she raised her whip to block, the sword light still cut through the whip shadow and struck her delicate body.
Blood spurted out as the Proprietress's figure flew back a thousand meters before stabilizing herself. Looking up, she saw a person slowly walking over from the void, holding an azure sword in his hand as his Sword Qi soared into the sky.
“Hai Pingle!” The Proprietress stared at the newcomer, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.
On the other side, Old Bai's expression also changed greatly, “Shit, he’s actually here.”
Yang Kai didn’t know who this Hai Pingle was, only that he was a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. He couldn’t help but wonder what the Proprietress had done to make so many enemies.
Old Bai smiled bitterly, “The Young Master Hai you met before was Hai Pingle’s grandson!”
Yang Kai was stunned. He hadn’t expected that Young Master Hai would be involved. Only now did he understand why Young Master Hai had acted so arrogantly. It turned out that he had such a powerful background, but… although he had a conflict with Young Master Hai in the Star City that day, they didn’t have any deep enmity between them. Later on, Young Master Hai was punished by someone from the Great Battle Heaven, so there shouldn’t be any deep enmity between them, right? What was Hai Pingle trying to do by adding insult to injury?
Old Bai seemed to understand what he was thinking and said in a low voice, “Young Master Hai is dead, the Proprietress killed him!”
“What?” Yang Kai was shocked.
Old Bai said, “The Proprietress is the most protective of the weak. Since that guy used his position to bully others and caused you to suffer a whipping. How could the Proprietress let him off? She killed him outside the Star City.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai was in a daze. Although he hated Young Master Hai and had even been implicated by him and had been whipped twice by the Dragon Fang Whip, now that he thought about it, he felt a slight pain in his back, but to be honest, it was just a small conflict, not a life or death grudge. After the incident, Yang Kai had almost forgotten about it, but who would have thought that the Proprietress would actually kill him?
Old Bai chuckled, “If I, the Chef, the Accountant, and the others were to encounter such a situation, the Proprietress might not have made such a big fuss, but you’re different!”
“Me? What about me?”
Old Bai stared at him for a long time before sighing heavily, “In any case, you must remember that the Proprietress thinks highly of you, and you are also very important to her.”
Yang Kai looked at him in confusion.
Old Bai lowered his head and smiled bitterly. There were some facts he couldn’t speak of, after all, it had been many years ago.
As the two of them were speaking, the battle in the void once again began. Hai Pingle stepped into the fray, his sword flashing wildly. The Proprietress was already heavily injured, so dealing with Qi Jin and the others wasn’t a problem. Now that Hai Pingle was here, she was immediately unable to cope.
However, with the Proprietress's ability, even if she were to fight one against many, her life would not be in danger for a while.
Yang Kai didn’t have the time to ask Old Bai any more questions. Looking up at the battlefield, his face was filled with worry. He didn’t know if the Proprietress would be able to turn the situation around.
In the midst of this fierce battle, the Proprietress turned her head and glanced over. As their eyes met, Yang Kai could clearly see the regret and reluctance in her eyes.
Turning her head, the soft whip shook and wrapped itself around the fighting crowd, pulling the battlefield far away.
Obviously, she didn’t want the aftershocks of the battle to affect Yang Kai and Old Bai, but she could forcibly divert the four enemies from the battlefield, causing the already bad situation to become even more dangerous.
Qi Jin and the others were like sharks that had smelled the stench of blood, biting the Proprietress and ignoring Yang Kai and Old Bai.
After all, in the eyes of these people, Old Bai’s breakthrough had failed, and even if he didn’t die, he would be crippled, so there was no need to pay any attention to him. Yang Kai, a mere Emperor Realm cultivator, couldn’t cause any trouble. As long as they could finish off the Proprietress, victory would be theirs!
After a dozen breaths of time, everyone gradually disappeared.
Old Bai spat out a mouthful of blood and grabbed Yang Kai’s arm, “Go, hurry back to the Star City and the First Inn. Tell the Chef to call the Owner, otherwise the Proprietress will be in trouble.”
Yang Kai had met the owner of the First Inn before. He was a High Rank Open Heaven Stage master, and the Golden Crow’s corpse had fallen into his hands in the end. If he could step in, things would be much easier.
Yang Kai clenched his fists, “What about you?”
If he left, no one would be able to collect Old Bai's corpse even if he died, but at this moment, he didn’t dare act rashly against Old Bai. Not to mention, how far away was this place from the First Inn? By the time he rushed back to the First Inn, the situation would have already been decided, and everything would be too late.
“Don’t worry about me, hurry up and leave!” Old Bai suddenly pushed him away, drawing on his vitality and spitting out another mouthful of blood.
Yang Kai was shocked and quickly rushed forward, hurriedly taking out a large number of pills from his Space Ring and stuffing them into his mouth.
“It’s useless…” Old Bai smiled bitterly, “If I don’t suppress the Yin-Yang + Five Elements Energy in my body, none of the Spirit Pills will work.”
However, Yang Kai’s movements suddenly came to a halt as his eyes bulged, as if he had discovered something surprising. Old Bai angrily shouted, “What time is it now? Why are you still pestering me here? Hurry up and return to the First Inn!”
If it weren’t for his poor condition, he would have kicked Yang Kai away.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up as he stared at him, “Old Bai, perhaps you can still be saved!”
“Bullshit!” Old Bai shouted angrily. In his current situation, not to mention Yang Kai, even a High Rank Open Heaven Stage cultivator would be powerless to reverse the situation. What could Yang Kai, a mere Emperor Realm master, do?
