Lowering his eyes, Old Man Kang stared at the long sword in his hand without moving.
A strong wind blew and the world became desolate. A sorrowful voice rang out in everyone’s ears, “Little brother, please let me go!”
Hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed.
Old Man Kang had actually been defeated? Although from the battle just now, Yang Kai’s aura was indeed fierce, but when they heard Old Man Kang beg for mercy, they still couldn’t believe it.
A Third Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator had actually been defeated by an Emperor Realm master. Even though this was the Great Ruins Boundary, even if this place suppressed and sealed the small universe in his body, it was still inconceivable.
Moreover, being able to force a Third Order Open Heaven Stage to lower his head and beg for mercy meant that Old Man Kang didn’t even have the confidence to escape from Yang Kai’s hands. This was not something that could be explained with just a slight advantage. This meant that Yang Kai even had the ability to kill Old Man Kang.
Yue He’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly as she stared at Yang Kai, her thoughts drifting as she seemed to recall something, her expression complex. Chen Yue, who was hugging her, had a strange look in her eyes.
Meng Hong let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, “A true man should be like this!” His heart filled with yearning, he didn’t know if he would be able to reach Yang Kai’s height in this lifetime, but he was afraid it would be difficult. When he saw Chen Yue’s expression, he couldn’t help feeling depressed.
“Since this King said he would kill you, how could he be joking!” Yang Kai thrust his spear forward and in an instant, arrived in front of Old Kang.
In shock, Old Man Kang summoned a round shield artifact to protect himself and quickly retreated.
However, the round shield artifact didn’t even manage to block the Azure Dragon Spear for a single breath before it shattered. Under Old Man Kang’s shocked gaze, the spear penetrated his chest and directly lifted him up.
The heaven and earth seemed to freeze like a picture at this moment, causing everyone to be shocked to the extreme.
Yang Kai’s arm trembled, and a violent force shattered Old Man Kang’s organs.
“Cough…” Old Man Kang let out a low cough and spat out pieces of his internal organs before turning to Yang Kai with a ferocious expression, “Junior, if you dare use the Dragon’s Secret Treasure, the Dragon Clan will not let you off easily. This old master will leave first and wait for you on the Underworld!”
“You just wait slowly!” Yang Kai pulled out his spear and swept it across, causing Old Man Kang’s head to explode.
A rain of blood fell, and the ground was filled with minced meat. Yang Kai’s heart was filled with excitement as he fought a bloody battle. The emotions he had been suppressing for a long time were finally released, and he was filled with joy. If he wasn’t in this strange Great Ruins Boundary, he would have burst out laughing.
Everyone stared at him with various expressions.
More and more eyes were focused on the Azure Dragon Spear in his hand. The words that Old Man Kang had said before his death made them even more concerned.
Dragon's Secret Treasure were artifacts forged from parts of the Dragon Race’s bodies, and their power was extraordinary. When Yang Kai used the Azure Dragon Spear to fight Old Kang, although they felt that this Secret Artifact was extraordinary, they didn’t pay much attention to it.
But after Old Kang said those words, they discovered the truth!
On the spear, a faint dragon prestige filled the air. If it wasn’t a Dragon's Secret Treasure, what was it? No wonder when he had fought his way out of the Beast Tide, many strange beasts had taken the initiative to retreat, thinking that it was Yang Kai’s fierce display of power. Now, it seemed that it was all thanks to this Dragon's Secret Treasure.
For a time, many people’s eyes flashed with greed.
A Dragon's Secret Treasure was a taboo existence in all three thousand worlds. Just as Old Man Kang had said before he died, if the Dragon Race were to learn of this, Yang Kai would definitely die.
But then again, how rare was a Dragon's Secret Treasure? In the Great Ruins Boundary, there were many ancient remnant beasts. With this Dragon's Secret Treasure in hand, it could be used to deter and avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, Yang Kai had the power to kill a Third Order Open Heaven Stage master, so even if some people were quick-witted, they wouldn’t dare to have any ideas about him. After personally witnessing the battle between him and Old Man Kang, who could guarantee that they would be his opponent? If that happened, they might not even be able to eat the mutton and end up in trouble.
After a long time, Yang Kai calmed himself down, put away the Azure Dragon Spear, went to Old Man Kang’s corpse, collected his Space Ring, and called out to Meng Hong and the others, “Let’s go.”
This was a dangerous place, so it was best not to linger for too long. Who knew if there would be other beasts attacking.
How could Great Moon Province’s people have any objections? After personally witnessing Yang Kai’s combat strength, they naturally felt safer following him.
However, after just a few steps, Yang Kai turned around and asked, “What are you doing here?”
He had only asked the people from Great Moon Province to come with him, but he hadn’t expected that the dozens of cultivators who had rushed out with him would also follow.
A young man who looked like a little fatty walked out with a smile on his face and cupped his fists, “Senior Brother, we’ve all fought side by side for a while now, so we’ve lived and died together. Moreover, the Great Ruins Boundary is filled with dangers, so having more people will make things easier. We’ve all witnessed Senior Brother’s might, so we’re willing to follow Senior Brother’s lead and obey his orders, hoping to leave the Great Ruins Boundary safely.”
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Yang Kai glanced at him and lightly said, “No need, you can go wherever you want, just don’t follow me!”
Saying so, he ignored them and walked forward.
“Senior Brother… Senior Brother, wait a moment…” Little fatty called out and quickly chased after him.
Yang Kai turned around and the Azure Dragon Spear suddenly appeared, pressing against the little fatty’s chest, his eyes cold, “If you continue to blabber on, don’t blame this King for being merciless!”
Little fatty immediately froze on the spot, a drop of cold sweat dripping down his forehead, his mouth twitching as he raised his hand and said, “If Senior Brother has something to say…”
Yang Kai stared at him for a moment before coldly snorting and putting away his spear.
Watching Yang Kai’s group leave, the little fatty let out a long sigh, as if he had missed a great opportunity. Some people were indignant, thinking Yang Kai was too arrogant, but since he didn’t want to be followed, they couldn’t be thick-skinned enough to chase after him. After exchanging glances, they dispersed.
Yang Kai led the group from Great Moon Province for a distance of three hundred kilometers before inadvertently entering a mountain valley. This mountain valley was surrounded by mountains and was filled with fragrant flowers and birds.
As soon as they stepped into this place, everyone couldn’t help feeling as if they had stepped into a divine realm, causing the eyes of several women to light up as they looked around.
Yang Kai looked around before turning his head and saying, “Let’s rest here for a while. Brother Meng, let’s split up and investigate this place to see if there are any hidden dangers.”
“Good!” Meng Hong nodded.
After a brief inspection, the valley wasn’t very big and was only a few dozen acres in radius. There weren’t any powerful Vicious Beasts living here, so everyone was quite relieved.
Suddenly being swallowed up by the Great Ruins Fog, he had fallen into the Greaat Ruins Boundary and was attacked by a Beast Tide before he could even catch his breath. In the Star City where tens of thousands of people gathered, it was unknown how many of them managed to escape.
No wonder Yue He had said that the Great Ruins Boundary was both a treasure house and a dangerous place.
The previous battle had left everyone exhausted, but now that they had escaped death, they all felt exhausted and began healing themselves.
Sitting cross-legged under a tree, Yang Kai spread out his hands and stared at his palms thoughtfully.
Although he had not been in the Great Ruins Boundary for long. Although he had occasionally seen battles between the Emperor Realm in the Outer Universe, he had not seen them as much as he did today.
This allowed him to discover something he had not seen before.
The Emperor Realm masters who had condensed the power of Yin-Yang + Five Elements seemed to be able to use these different attributes to increase their combat strength!
Suddenly, he remembered that back in the Wind and Cloud Auction House, Old Bai had used it once, but it was quickly suppressed by Old Yu, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it.
When he was fighting with Old Man Kang just now, the old man had done the same.
The power of the Dao Seal should be able to be activated and used!
The sound of footsteps rang out and a fragrant breeze blew past. Immediately after, a soft body sat down next to him.
Yang Kai’s thoughts were interrupted as he turned his head and saw Yue He smiling at him.
Yang Kai couldn’t help frowning, “What are you doing!”
This woman’s smile was somewhat sly, like a fox that had stolen a chicken, causing Yang Kai to become vigilant, but in the Great Ruins Boundary, he was not afraid of her.
Yue He hugged her knees with both hands, her slender legs bent as she rested one side of her face on her knees, as if she was a young girl who was ignorant of the world’s affairs and had a vision for the future. “Why did you kill that old man?”
“There’s no reason for that. If I don’t like him, just kill him.”
Yang Kai said impatiently.
“Because he injured me?”
“Don’t flatter yourself!” Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered with her.
Yue He wasn’t willing to give up and leaned her head over, exhaling, “It’s because of this, right? Otherwise, why would you kill him?”
“What are you doing?” Yang Kai was somewhat speechless towards this woman.
Although there was indeed such a reason, how could Yang Kai admit it? At that time, when the Thunder Roar struck and the old man surnamed Kang fled, Yue He had clearly been able to avoid it, but instead of dodging, she had chosen to take the blow head-on.
She probably thought that if she avoided this attack, Yang Kai and the others behind her would definitely die!
This caused Yang Kai’s impression of her to change slightly, and he felt that she was still somewhat human.
However, in the end, it was because of this woman that he had been dragged into the Great Ruins Boundary, otherwise he would have been in the Universe Temple visiting the Proprietress.
Thinking of the Proprietress, Yang Kai asked, “How is the Proprietress?”
Previously, he had only heard her say that the Proprietress was seriously injured and was recuperating in the Universe Temple, but he hadn’t asked about the details. After all, they weren’t familiar with each other, so how could he, a prisoner, have the qualifications to ask?
Yue He curled her lips and sneered, “Since she won’t die, what else can it be?”
“Is her injuries serious?”
Yue He was silent for a moment before shaking her head and nodding again, “You can say it’s heavy or light, but you can’t imagine what kind of ability she has. Now that she’s hiding in the Universe Temple, she’ll recover sooner or later.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly, finally feeling relieved.
“You still have time to care about others at a time like this? Think about yourself first,” Yue He said sourly, “Once you enter the Great Ruins Boundary, you won’t be able to leave unless it closes by itself. I’m afraid we’ll have to stay here for many years.”
Speaking of this, Yang Kai became a bit worried, “Is the time limit of the Great Ruins Boundary really different?”
Yue He slowly shook her head, “As far as I know, it’s different. There are precedents from ten years to a hundred years, but even a hundred years isn’t a big deal.”
