Zhong Fan had broken through to the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage and had a deep foundation. When the Sword Array had been broken, he had also suffered heavy injuries, but his injuries weren’t as severe as Luo Qingyun’s. If he had escaped in advance, he might have had a chance to survive, but for some reason he had stayed here and watched as the Thunder Light and Sword Pavilion disciples were destroyed one after another.
When Yang Kai arrived in front of him and looked down at him, Zhong Fan coldly snorted, “Junior, don’t act so arrogantly. You’ve committed a heinous crime, so once you leave the Great Ruins Boundary, you’ll die!”
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he faintly felt that his words were hinting at something, but he couldn’t be bothered to ask, coldly snorting, “This King likes stubborn people like you, it’s more interesting to pinch them!”
Saying so, he sent a palm strike towards Zhong Fan.
He showed no mercy and was completely ruthless!
Zhong Fan’s expression was indifferent. When the giant hand was only three feet away from him, his eyes suddenly flashed and a crack appeared between his eyebrows. From that crack, a stream of Sword Qi shot out.
In this moment of life and death, he suddenly activated the power of his Dao Seal and released it to defend himself, just like when Yang Kai fought the Great Demon God in the Star Boundary. [Hoogsway: Again, YK use it against Can Ye, right?]
To a cultivator, the Dao Seal was like the Monster Beast’s Core, which contained their entire body’s essence, energy, and comprehension of their Dao. It would not be easily used, but if it was released, it would have an astonishing power. However, if this happened, the risks would be extremely high, and if the Dao Seal was damaged, it would result in death.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would do such a thing.
Even Monster Beasts would not easily release their Core.
Zhong Fan had no other choice. Yang Kai had condensed his Sun Casting Golden Crow Manifestation, and he also had the Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Bottle Gourd, a terrifying killing weapon. Other than this, he had no other hope.
In this desperate struggle, success or failure depended on the will of the Heavens!
A lifetime of cultivating the sword focused on attacking and killing. The Dao Seal had actually transformed into a small three-inch sword with the power of Yin-Yang + Five Elements circulating around it. It was extremely sharp and seemed capable of destroying anything.
“I knew you would do this!” Yang Kai coldly snorted as he stretched out his hand and grabbed the small Dao Seal sword.
However, he soon frowned and when he looked down, he saw a dazzling sword light shoot out from his palm towards his forehead.
In the end, he had still underestimated the power of a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage. Even with his powerful Dragon Transformation physique, he was unable to resist the power of this Dao Seall Small Sword. A bloody hole appeared on his palm as Sword Qi flowed through it.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai’s entire body seemed to expand as his chest and abdomen swelled up. Letting out a breath, Yang Kai spat out his Golden Crow True Fire and burned the Dao Seal Sword .
The raging flames distorted the void.
As far as the eye could see, there was a small three-inch sword that was like a small fish swimming against the current of the Golden Crow True Fire.
Zhong Fan’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he roared and pushed the power of his Dao Seal to the limit, determined to kill Yang Kai here!
Bit by bit, inch by inch, the small Dao Seal sword continued to close in on Yang Kai’s forehead, its speed extremely slow, making one feel the threat of death.
Yang Kai continued to pour out his Golden Crow True Fire.
On top of the small sword, a brilliant light flashed as it trembled violently.
Ten breaths later, when the three-inch sword arrived in front of him, it could no longer hold on and collapsed.
Zhong Fan spat out a mouthful of hot blood as his aura suddenly became stagnant. At this moment, it was as if all of his vitality had been sucked out of his body, leaving only skin and bones.
As the wind blew, his hair fluttered in the wind.
With his Dao Seal destroyed, Zhong Fan’s cultivation was crippled!
In Star City, countless people were shocked, and many of them couldn’t help feeling a sense of grief. Although they had heard that once the Dao Seal was destroyed, a cultivator would die, this was the first time 99% of them had witnessed such a shocking change in Zhong Fan.
Yang Kai stepped forward and flew past Zhong Fan.
Facing a certain death, Yang Kai had no interest in taking action.
In a few steps, he arrived in front of Lu Xue and grabbed her by the collar, staring down at her indifferently, “Where is the Headquarter of Sword Pavilion?”
Behind him, Zhong Fan heard these words and lowered his head, his aura rapidly dissipating.
Blood poured out of Lu Xue’s mouth continuously, mixing with the fragments of her internal organs as her skin became abnormally red, like a cooked crab.
Before the battle began, Yang Kai had planted the Golden Crow True Fire in her and she hadn’t participated in the battle at all. First, Zhong Fan had helped her suppress the tribulation in her body, and now that Zhong Fan had left, she was unable to resist the burning Golden Crow True Fire on her own and could only wait for death.
Fortunately, the foundation of the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage wasn’t too bad, and the battle between Yang Kai, Sword Pavilion and Thunder Light hadn’t lasted long, so even now, she was still alive, but she was half-dead.
If left alone, it wouldn’t even take an incense stick of time before she died.
Seeing Yang Kai walk towards her, Lu Xue’s tender body trembled violently. She had never thought that one day she would be so afraid of an Emperor Realm master!
Outside the Great Ruins Boundary, how could an existence like the Emperor Realm enter her eyes? It was an existence she wouldn’t even look at.
But today, Yang Kai’s actions as an Emperor Realm master had deeply shocked her. A man had destroyed the Sword Pavilion's Sword Array, and this one man also destroyed the Thunder Light alone. Such a magnificent feat, who could possibly resist him?
At this moment, Yang Kai was holding her in his hand like a little chick, she can't help but trembling in fear. A shadow had appeared in the depths of her heart, and even the light of her Dao Seal had dimmed significantly.
The person in front of her had become her heart demon.
Even if she could leave the Great Ruins Boundary alive, if she were to encounter Yang Kai outside in the future, she probably wouldn’t have any thoughts of opposing him, unless she could break through this barrier and allow herself to be reborn.
Hearing Yang Kai’s question, how could Lu Xue not know what he wanted to do? He wanted to sweep the Sword Pavilion’s Headquarter.
'Can he do it?' As soon as she asked this question, Lu Xue gave an affirmative answer. The Sword Pavilion had only sent three hundred people this time, which meant they had only sent a small portion of their forces. There were also nearly a thousand disciples, two Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage master on the Headquarter, and a Sixth Order Pavilion Master.
However, based on the methods Yang Kai had just displayed, the Sword Pavilion simply could not resist.
Putting everything else aside, just the Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Gourd alone was enough to completely suppress the Sword Pavilion. The reason why Sword Pavilion was able to surpass the Thunder Light and Scarlet Star was because of its Sword Array.
However, once the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light appeared, how could the disciples form the Sword Array? At that time, they would be completely scattered and without the power of the Sword Array, they would be no match for Yang Kai.
Apart from the Pavilion Master who could barely resist this person, no one else would be able to survive.
Looking at this man who was like a demon from hell, Lu Xue was so frightened she couldn’t speak.
“Take me with you and I’ll spare your life!” Yang Kai said as he reached out and patted Lu Xue’s abdomen with his other hand. With a thought, the Golden Crow True Fire that had invaded Lu Xue’s body and made her suffer a fate worse than death, but had been unable to expel, was immediately withdrawn.
Lu Xue coughed lightly. Although her vitality had been greatly damaged, without the Golden Crow True Fire in her body, at least her life was no longer in danger. As long as she rested well, there would be a day when she would recover.
“If you dare say no, I’ll send you to see your companion in the underworld right now!” Yang Kai couldn’t wait for Lu Xue’s response for a long time and became slightly impatient.
“I’ll take you there,” Lu Xue nodded lightly.
Yang Kai nodded, grabbed Lu Xue, and soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing from everyone’s sight.
His conversation with Lu Xue just now didn’t deliberately suppress his voice. That small hill wasn’t too far from Star City, so anyone with a bit of strength in Star City could hear him clearly.
Seeing Yang Kai leave just like that, everyone was shocked.
Was he trying to kill them all?
The Sword Pavilion had lost three hundred disciples this time, and even two of their Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage master, had died. This was already a great loss to them, yet Yang Kai still wanted to directly attack their Headquarter. How cruel was this?
On top of that, he had just experienced a great battle, and even his Divine Ability Manifestation had been shattered. Did he not need to rest and recover?
Yue He couldn’t help showing a look of worry, but it was already too late to chase after him. Yang Kai possessed the Space Laws, so with her strength, it was impossible for her to catch up.
The world was silent, only the thick scent of blood pervading the air. Outside Scarlet Star City, rivers of blood and corpses littered the ground, like a purgatory.
In the distant void, a little fatty stared at them and sighed lightly, “What a sin!”
The Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Gourd had come from him after all, so he was responsible for half of the people who had died.
After a sigh, the figure disappeared.
Inside Yang Kai’s mansion, Meng Hong and the others stared with their mouths agape.
As the Great Moon Province's Chief Disciple, Meng Hong’s aptitude was extraordinary to begin with. Previously, he had been forced to condense a Third Grade forces due to the lack of resources, hoping to achieve Third Order Open Heaven Stage in the future.
After suffering a great change in the Great Ruins Boundary, he had made up his mind to start over and condense a Fifth Grade Sun's True Fire. Originally, he had thought that his future would be bright and his ambitions would be great, but after seeing what Yang Kai had done today, he realized that even if he could really achieve a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, he would still be inferior to Yang Kai.
This was quite a blow to him, but after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that the other party had their own opportunities and abilities. As long as he could do his best, there was no need for him to compare himself with others. In this world, there were always some people who defied the heavens. The Great Roc spread its wings and soared into the sky, the Cloud Soaring Tree as a starting point was high.
Thinking of this, his thoughts became clear and his spirits lifted.
“Since we have nothing better to do, let’s go clean up the battlefield,” Yue He’s voice came from beside him, “With so many people dead, there must be some good stuff.”
“Yes!” Meng Hong quickly replied, leading his two Junior Brothers outside. Even Chen Yue followed closely behind, staring at Meng Hong’s back with a complicated expression.
Meanwhile, in Star City, several dozen people, led by Guo Ziyan, also rushed forward to help. Although they looked miserable, at this moment, all of them were high-spirited and proud.
