Seeing Yang Kai’s unwillingness, the short man became angry, “Surname Yang, don’t think that this Gou is afraid of you. This Gou just doesn’t want to engage in a meaningless struggle and let others benefit from it.”
Yang Kai grinned maliciously, “Killing you isn’t a pointless struggle… If you want to live, it’s simple. Leave your gourd vine behind and I won’t pursue you!”
The man surnamed Gou angrily said, “Then you should chase after me. Let’s see if you can catch up or if I can run faster.”
If he hadn’t been hit by Yang Kai’s fist before, he wouldn’t have been forced to flee so miserably. With the Gourd Vine in his hand, why would he need to fear anyone in the Great Ruins Boundary? It was just that the previous punch had made him feel uncomfortable. If it weren’t for the protection of the Gourd Vine, he would have been smashed to pieces.
The two of them continued to argue as they recovered, obviously not wanting the other party to rest in peace.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Yang Kai stood up, tore open the thin membrane in front of him, and rushed forward.
The man surnamed Gou turned pale with fright and quickly fled, not caring about the medicinal efficacy of the pill in his stomach.
For the next several dozen days, Gou could be said to be living a life worse than death. Yang Kai’s restorative ability was obviously much stronger than his own. Often, he had only just recovered a bit of his strength, but Yang Kai was already in high spirits and was chasing after him, forcing him to flee.
The injuries on his body had not received any effective treatment, and not only had they not recovered much, they had even shown signs of deterioration.
He knew that he couldn’t continue like this. In this situation, if Yang Kai could catch up to him one day, he wouldn’t even have the strength to fight back.
Over the past few days, the distance between Yang Kai and him had been constantly shrinking. At first, there were only a few dozen bubbles between them, but now there were only a few left.
Along the way, he had been constantly exploring the mysteries of this World Fruit, hoping to comprehend the mysteries of this place and obtain this World Fruit. Unfortunately, after so many days, he had gained nothing.
Not only him, but Yang Kai was the same.
This entire world was composed of countless bubbles, each one of which was similar to the other, making it impossible to see any difference.
Although Yang Kai had chased Gou all the way here and forced him into a difficult situation, he was still secretly anxious. After all, so many days had passed, so who knew what was happening outside? If he missed the time when the Unaging Land closed, wouldn’t he be trapped here forever?
At that time, if he couldn’t leave, Yue He and the others would also suffer.
As such, Yang Kai’s pursuit became more relentless. Only by quickly dealing with this guy could he explore the mysteries of this place.
After another round of regulating his breathing, Yang Kai couldn’t be bothered to restore his full strength. He stood up and tore open the bubble membrane, rushing towards Gou.
This time, the other party didn’t try to escape, instead sitting down cross-legged and staring at him coldly, his eyes filled with a fierce determination.
Yang Kai grinned. How could he not know that he had forced this guy into a dead end?
This was also what he wanted to see.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai had passed through several air bubbles and arrived at the one where Gou was. Over the past ten days, the two of them had been facing each other at such a close distance.
“Condense!” Yang Kai formed a series of hand seals and activated his Space Laws, immediately sealing the space inside the bubble. This way, Gou would not be able to escape easily, unless he could break through his Space Restriction. If the other party really did so, it would definitely give him a chance to escape.
“It looks like you and I can only meet in a life or death situation. Unfortunately, I didn’t want to send you off so quickly, but you just had to force me!” Gou didn’t panic, instead showing a look of confidence.
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh and slowly stood up. As he did so, his somewhat dispirited aura began to rise!
Yang Kai looked at him indifferently and calmly said, “It’s hard to say who will be the one to send who off. Don’t boast so early, it won’t look good on you later.”
The two’s eyes met and a faint flame appeared.
In the next moment, the two of them attacked together as if they had come to an agreement.
Yang Kai flicked his finger repeatedly, sending out a series of Moon Blades that covered a large area, shattering the surrounding space.
As for the man surnamed Gou, he formed a series of hand seals and sent out a giant awl.
Dao Breaking Seal!
This Divine Ability was specifically designed to deal with Dao Seals, and its power was extremely terrifying. Yang Kai had suffered a great loss before, and Ding Yi had almost lost his life under this attack.
Having already experienced this twice, Yang Kai was naturally prepared for it. He split a portion of his attention to stabilize the Dao Seal, not allowing it to affect him. At the same time, with a thought, the moonblade he slashed out flew back towards the Dao Breaker Seal.
Chi chi chi chi sounds rang out incessantly, and in the blink of an eye, the Dao Breaking Seal had disappeared. The moonblade did not lose its power and once again slashed towards Gou.
The man surnamed Gou let out a roar as his entire body began to glow with a golden light. The power of his Seventh Grade Gold Element burst out, transforming into a golden humanoid in the blink of an eye. Both of his fists smashed into the moonblade, shattering it.
Gold Element's main focus was its offense, it's sharpness was overwhelming.
Yang Kai’s face was filled with envy as he watched this scene. He had almost completely condensed the Five Elements Force, and now he was only missing the Gold Element. He was secretly annoyed. Why was his Holy Spirit not Jin Wu but Zhu Jiuyin instead? If it was Jin Wu, he could use the energy in it's Core to condense the Seventh Grade Gold Element. Once the Five Elements Force was fully condensed, he would have half a foot into the Open Heaven, only lacking the Yin and Yang forces to achieve Open Heaven Stage.
Unfortunately, since Zhu Jiuyin found him as her Bearer, Jin Wu would not be able to tolerate him, which was also the root cause of this battle.
Breaking through the moonblade, the man Gou's momentum didn’t falter, his short and fierce figure like a raging bull as he rushed towards Yang Kai. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived in front of Yang Kai, his fist wrapped in the power of a Seventh Grade Gold Element, smashing towards Yang Kai’s chest. Before the fist could even reach him, a sharp aura had already invaded Yang Kai’s body, causing his skin to ache and his clothes to tear.
However, he didn’t try to dodge, his expression indifferent as he stared at the man surnamed Gou.
In the next moment, Gou’s expression changed slightly, because no matter what he did, this punch was unable to land on Yang Kai’s body.
He could clearly feel himself constantly breaking through, but the distance between them didn’t decrease in the slightest.
Yang Kai had encountered a world restriction while trying to seize the Taiyi Clean Soul Water, so he had gained a lot from comprehending it and opened a new door and window on the Space Great Dao. Over the past few days, he had become more proficient in using this method.
Gou was unable to close the distance between them, just like how he was unable to close the distance between himself and the white jade stone trough that day. The space between them seemed motionless, but it was actually moving like thunder.
After ten breaths of time, Gou’s momentum fell, and at this moment, Yang Kai pointed out, “Die!”
On the tip of his finger, a small Golden Crow flew out. With a cry, it rapidly expanded in front of the man surnamed Gou’s eyes, as if it was about to completely envelop him.
The Golden Crow True Fire was extremely terrifying, even more so than his Gold Element. If he were to be burned by this Golden Crow, he would definitely suffer a terrible fate.
In this life or death crisis, Gou no longer dared to conceal himself. With a shake of his arm, the gourd vine shot out like it had a mind of its own, piercing through the Golden Crow’s body and sending it flying towards Yang Kai’s forehead. On the gourd vine, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Force actually broke through Yang Kai’s space extension and arrived before him in the blink of an eye.
Yang Kai’s expression changed slightly as his body flew backwards, barely avoiding this attack.
The man surnamed Gou didn’t show any mercy as he held the gourd vine in his hand and used it as a whip. With a slight shake, the gourd vine transformed into a ring and flew towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai dodged several times but was unable to break free. Seeing that he was about to be enveloped by the gourd vine, he roared and stretched out his hand, grasping the Azure Dragon Spear in his palm and thrusting it forward.
This spear strike was completely random, as if it was just a casual strike, but it was extremely profound, striking the center of the countless circles.
A violent energy burst out and the man surnamed Gou let out a muffled groan as he retreated several steps, allowing Yang Kai to escape.
Without stopping, the spear shot out like a dragon, transforming into countless spear shadows that enveloped Gou.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai’s offensive and defensive capabilities changed drastically, causing Gou to turn pale with fright. He had never imagined that Yang Kai would have such outstanding attainments in the Dao of Spear. Now that his offensive had been broken, he could only defend passively.
For a time, the two of them were locked in a fierce battle within this bubble, actually evenly matched.
However, the more he fought, the more frightened Gou became. The spear in Yang Kai’s hand was like a living creature, constantly attacking the weak points of his defense, causing him to break out in cold sweat.
He had been chosen by Jin Wu not only because of luck, but also because the Holy Spirits had their own criteria for choosing their own Bearer. If their background was insufficient, the Holy Spirits would not favor them.
He was able to become a Bearer because of his own strength! After being nurtured by Jin Wu for so many years, he had entered the Unaging Land and obtained the Gourd Vine. He had thought that no one in the entire Great Ruins Boundary was his opponent, but who would have thought that someone else would be able to take advantage of him?
After several dangerous encounters, Gou was finally certain that he was no match for Yang Kai with his current strength. The spear in his opponent’s hand was definitely quite powerful, able to fight with his gourd vine without suffering any damage and even emitting a faint Holy Spirit Qi, causing him to feel somewhat helpless.
Gritting his teeth, the man surnamed Gou shouted, “I didn’t want to use this move, but you have the qualifications to make me use it. It is your honor to die under this move!”
Yang Kai’s heart trembled slightly, knowing that this guy in front of him was about to use some kind of trump card, but since the other party had a trump card, he still had some tricks up his sleeve. Yang Kai sneered, “You still dare to boast so shamelessly? I’ll knock out your teeth later!”
“Whether or not i'm boasting is up to you,” Gou snorted and shouted, “Rise!”
As he spoke, he flicked the gourd vine and the seven small gourds on it rolled over.
Yang Kai swung his spear and retreated, his eyes cold and vigilant.
He had seen the abilities of these seven small gourds before, and all of them were extraordinary. Before this, he had been secretly on guard, but who would have thought that the other party had not used them all this time? Was he going to borrow the power of these small gourds now?
