A giant palm seal slammed down from the sky, shattering the void and causing a series of explosions.
No one had expected Yang Kai to act so crazily. Being alone in the enemy’s formation, not only did he not restrain himself, he even took the initiative to attack.
The Sword Pavilion Disciple’s Sword Array had yet to be completed, and the Thunder Light Disciple’s heart trembled as they hurriedly released their Secret Technique and Artifact’s power, scattering them in all directions.
The giant palm seal was riddled with holes from the countless attacks, but it still continued to press down.
A series of miserable cries rang out as a bloody mist exploded in the air, like the most beautiful red rose in the world. Under the eyes of everyone present, a blood-red flower blossomed in the air.
When this attack was exhausted, thirty-three blood flowers bloomed in the air.
A series of gasps rang out from all over Star City as everyone stared incredulously at the figure standing in the sky. Zhong Fan and the others eyes were practically spitting fire as they stared at this figure.
Thirty-three of Guo Ziyan’s subordinates had died in battle, so Yang Kai had killed thirty-three people of Sword Pavilion and Thunder Light disciples in front of everyone, not one more or less, just to avenge those who had died.
This arrogant act was undoubtedly a slap to the face of Sword Pavilion and Thunder Light, causing Zhong Fan and the others to feel pain. If they couldn’t kill Yang Kai today, how would Sword Pavilion and Thunder Light survive in the Great Ruins Boundary?
The long sword in Zhong Fan’s hand trembled slightly as his Sword Qi fluctuated wildly. He wanted nothing more than to rush up to Yang Kai and tear him to pieces right now, but with Lu Xue in Yang Kai’s hands, he didn’t dare act rashly.
Yang Kai suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhong Fan, shouting, “This King forgot, it’s not thirty-three, you just killed another!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all of the Thunder Light and Sword Pavilion disciples expressions changed drastically and they quickly retreated, putting some distance between them and Yang Kai. Although they had a lot of people, none of them wanted to become a ghost from unjust death!
In an instant, with Yang Kai at the center, besides Zhong Fan and a few other Open Heaven Stage masters, there was no one else within a thousand feet.
The might of a single person was terrifying!
“What are you going to do?” Zhong Fan looked over coldly.
“Since you’ve invited me to watch a show, this King will also invite you to watch a show!” Saying so, the three-inch purple sword that belonged to Lu Xue between his fingers turned and directly stabbed into Lu Xue’s chest, then with a palm strike, he sent the purple sword into Lu Xue’s body!
Lu Xue let out a muffled groan as she used all her strength to resist the burning power of the Golden Crow True Fire. At this moment, she was injured by Yang Kai, causing her to sweat profusely. Her white clothes immediately became stained with blood and her skin became even redder. Steam rose from her head as she let out a painful moan.
“You’re courting death!” Luo Qingyun’s eyes instantly turned red as he grit his teeth and shouted.
Zhong Fan’s expression instantly became gloomy.
Although Yang Kai’s killing of thirty-three people with a single palm strike had made him angry, it was still just a disciple under him. If they died, he could just kill him back, but Lu Xue was different. She was one of the Sword Pavilion’s leaders, and now that she had been humiliated by Yang Kai like this, he had no choice but to re-examine Yang Kai’s madness.
Guo Ziyan and the thirty or so Scarlet Star disciples who had been captured all looked dispirited, but after witnessing Yang Kai’s series of unexpected actions with their own eyes, their spirits were greatly lifted!
This Sixth Manager was truly cold and cruel, even a delicate beauty like Lu Xue could be killed by him. If it was them, they might not be able to bear it, but they had to admit that seeing this scene, it really made them feel happy, their blood boiling, making them feel warm from the inside out. They couldn’t help feeling an impulse to follow this Sixth Manager and risk their lives! Even if they died here, they would have no regrets!
“If you dare say another word, I’ll rip off her head!” Yang Kai turned to Luo Qingyun and shouted.
Luo Qingyun’s Sword Qi surged as he watched Lu Xue suffer, how could he not want to save her? In fact, he had been looking for an opportunity to save her, but unfortunately, Yang Kai’s Divine Sense had been activated and he was unable to find any flaws, so he was unable to do anything about it. At this moment, when he looked into Yang Kai’s cold eyes, he was shocked and realized that he wasn’t joking, but would really do so.
The anger in his heart was like a volcano that could erupt at any moment, but he didn’t dare to say anything, lest Yang Kai really rip Lu Xue’s head off.
“Hmph!” Yang Kai smiled disdainfully and shouted, “Guo Ziyan!”
Guo Ziyan’s expression became solemn, “Your humble subordinate is here!”
“Afraid of death?” Yang Kai turned to look at him.
Guo Ziyan’s mouth twitched. He really wanted to say that he wasn’t afraid of death looking at Yang Kai’s prestige, but who wouldn’t be afraid of death? Saying such words would seem hypocritical, so he immediately smiled and said, “I’m afraid!”
He had no doubt about him, he was convinced by Yang Kai with him avenging the lives of the 33 people.
Yang Kai nodded lightly, “Good!”
Guo Ziyan said solemnly, “Sir doesn’t need to worry about us, you just need to act freely. Even if we die here, we won’t hold you back. Brothers, don’t you agree?”
“We will obey Sir’s orders!” More than thirty people shouted in unison, their voices shaking the entire world, their faces filled with a look of determination.
Countless people were moved, and countless people showed respect. Whether these words were sincere or forced by the circumstances, Yang Kai being able to obtain such support from Guo Ziyan and the others at this time showed his charisma.
Chen Tian Fei and the others, on the other hand, had complicated looks on their faces. They had commanded Scarlet Star for many years, and although they had many capable subordinates, they had never seen anyone so loyal!
It had only been a few months since Guo Ziyan had been assigned to Yang Kai, but he had already been convinced? They couldn’t believe that a Scarlet Star Disciple could act like this.
Yang Kai’s expression was solemn as he swept his eyes over the faces of these thirty or so people, seemingly trying to memorize their faces. He saw Guo Ziyan’s calmness, the fear and longing in the depths of their eyes, and many expectations for himself.
Nodding slightly, he said, “Don’t worry, if you die, I’ll bury these three thousand people with you!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd went into an uproar!
Although Yang Kai had displayed extraordinary combat strength before and even the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage Lu Xue was unable to resist him, everyone knew that in the Great Ruins Boundary, ordinary Open Heaven Stage was no match for Yang Kai, but these words were too arrogant.
There were three thousand of them, not just three thousand cabbages! Even if they stood there and let others kill them, it would still take them a long time, not to mention that there were still several Open Heaven Stage guarding them, and Sword Pavilion disciples could even form the Starfall Sword Array.
Even if Scarlet Star went all out, it was impossible to be an opponent, let alone a mere Yang Kai!
Someone secretly shook his head, “Isn’t this Yang guy too arrogant? Does he really think he’s invincible?”
Someone even sneered, “Who doesn’t know how to boast? If it was me, I can say a few words too.”
“Ah, this little brat, I thought he was some kind of big shot, but who would have thought that he would be so stupid as to say such things?”
Even Yue He, who had been paying close attention to Yang Kai in the mansion, frowned slightly. It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in Yang Kai’s strength, she had also witnessed Yang Kai joining forces with the Scarlet Flood Dragon to defeat hundreds of Thunder Light disciples, but the three thousand people in front of her were different. The Thunder Light had a deep foundation, and the Sword Pavilion also had three hundred disciples. Once the Sword Array was released, it was invincible.
If Yang Kai relied on his Space Ability to deal with them, he might be able to defeat them, but killing three thousand people was a bit unrealistic.
“Junior isn’t old, but your tone is quite arrogant!” Zhong Fan coldly snorted.
“You’ll know once you try,” Yang Kai said disdainfully, “Old dog, now you have two choices. The first is to release my man and I’ll trade this woman with you! The second is to kill my man and I’ll have this woman accompany them to the underworld. Which one do you choose?”
Zhong Fan’s expression was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to seep out of his face. Yang Kai’s intention was obviously to exchange the hostages in each of their hands, but when he said it out loud, there was a sense of threat in his tone, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
What made Zhong Fan even more helpless was that he couldn’t ignore Lu Xue’s life and death! To any force, a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage was a cornerstone of their forces and could not be lost!
“How do you expect this old master to believe you?” After pondering for a moment, Zhong Fan rolled his eyes, “If this old master lets them go, what if you go back on your word?”
“Do you have a choice?” Yang Kai sneered.
Zhong Fan said, “This old master will release half of them first. If you release her, this old master will definitely release the other half!”
However, Yang Kai acted as if he didn’t hear her and raised Lu Xue high up in the air, with a murderous look on his face as he said indifferently, “I’ll count to three. If you can’t show me the result I want, you can just wait to collect this woman’s corpse. One!”
“Junior, don’t push things too far!” Zhong Fan was furious. Yang Kai’s unyielding attitude was extremely infuriating. He had already taken a step back and could let half of them go, but who would have thought that Yang Kai wouldn’t accept it at all. Under the eyes of so many people, how could he endure this?
“Two!” Yang Kai remained unmoved, his expression indifferent.
Luo Qingyun nervously looked towards Zhong Fan, the long sword in his hand already tightly clenched, waiting for Yang Kai to shout out those three words before launching an attack.
Zhong Fan’s aura also quickly rose to its peak as he stared fixedly at Yang Kai. He could feel that although Yang Kai had mentally prepared Guo Ziyan and the others in advance and told them they would take revenge, he didn’t want to see Guo Ziyan and the others die here, otherwise he wouldn’t have wanted to exchange hostages.
At this critical moment, whoever was weaker would suffer a crushing defeat!
As such, Zhong Fan’s face was filled with determination.
Yang Kai’s mouth opened slightly as a grin appeared on his face. The word 'three' had already formed in his mouth as a powerful energy fluctuation pulsed from his hand.
Zhong Fan immediately shouted, “Release them!”
His imposing aura instantly fell to the bottom!
In the end, he didn’t dare take the risk. Yang Kai could ignore the life and death of Guo Ziyan and the others, and at worst, he could take revenge, but the Sword Pavilion couldn’t afford to lose Lu Xue.
Luo Qingyun also let out a sigh of relief, his hand gripping his sword sweating profusely.
After Zhong Fan’s command, Guo Ziyan and the others who had been captured also broke free from their shackles and flew towards Yang Kai. When they got close, Guo Ziyan’s face was filled with gratitude and shame as he cupped his fists, “My Lord!”
