Ma Yuande was only a Second Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so how could he possibly block Black Feather Old Ancestor's angry blow? This palm landed solidly on his back, and the violent World Force rushed into his flesh and blood, recklessly rampaging through his Small Universe World and instantly riddling it with holes.
Ma Yuande’s face went pale as he spat out the fragments of his five viscera and six organs before falling from the ship, his breath leaving his body mid-air.
Although the Black Feather Old Ancestor was seriously injured and couldn’t display his full strength, this furious strike was not something a Second Order Open Heaven Stage like Ma Yuande could resist.
A single strike had actually taken his life.
Black Feather Old Ancestor didn’t even spare a glance at Ma Yuande’s corpse. With a single thought, the huge flying ship immediately flew backwards. He was quite decisive. After realizing that it was an ambush, how could he dare to linger around? He only wanted to flee as far as possible.
The Embodiment, Yu Rumeng, and Bei Li Mo, on the other hand, were already prepared. The moment Yang Kai activated the Gourd Vine to attack, they had already activated the Demon Territory’s World's Might. The three of them roared and the World's Might violently surged towards the flying ship. In an instant, the speed of the flying ship greatly reduced and the surrounding space became as viscous as a swamp.
[Kacha, kacha, kacha, kacha!] Without any protection, the ship’s speed slowed, but it continued to retreat.
Even the combined strength of the three Demon Territory Masters was unable to stop Black Feather Old Ancestor, a powerful Fifth Order Opem Heaven Stage master.
Seeing that the flying ship was about to escape the range of the World's Might, the three of them became anxious, but no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to stop it.
According to Yang Kai’s plan, with their current strength, they had to keep Black Feather Old Ancestor in the Demon Territory before they had a chance to kill him. They couldn’t let him escape so easily.
At this critical moment, a giant dragon over a thousand feet long, its head shaking and tail swaying, its entire body covered in Demonic Qi, flew over and grabbed towards the ship.
Chang Tian came crashing down!
“Stop him!” Black Feather Old Ancestor's eyes were filled with hatred as he roared. In order to resist Embodiment and the others, he had used all his strength. Coupled with his previous injuries, he no longer had the strength to deal with Chang Tian’s attack.
However, he was not the only Open Heaven Stage cultivator on the ship!
In addition to the five Open Heaven Stage masters Yang Kai had seen in the Demon Territory, there were now three Low Rank Open Heaven Stage masters on the ship.
Following Black Feather Old Ancestor's roar, the three Low Rank Open Heaven finally regained their senses and quickly circulated their small universe's strength, executing their Divine Abilities and striking towards Chang Tian.
A mournful dragon roar rang out as dragon blood and dragon scales flew out from the dragon’s body.
Chang Tian only managed to hold on for a breath before he was sent flying, his massive body tumbling through the air before crashing into a small mountain in the distance, breaking it in half.
In this moment of delay, Yang Kai summoned the Yuan Magnetic DIvine Bottle Gourd and opened it, releasing a seven colored profound light.
“This is…” Feeling the grade of the Seven Colored Profound Light, Black Feather Old Ancestor was shocked, unable to understand why such a powerful artifact would appear in such a damned place.
Without any protection, the flying ship was instantly riddled with holes by the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, and the Open Heaven Stage masters had no choice but to use their strength to resist the terrifying power of this Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.
The World's Might fluctuated wildly.
Even so, the flying ship was still leaving the range of the Demon Territory at a speed visible to the naked eye, and now that it was more than half out of range, it would only take a few breaths of time to completely escape.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Kai’s crimson eyes searched the void, seemingly searching for something, until a cold light flashed across his vision and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She had finally arrived!
The cold light was silent, but it quickly condensed into a massive sword light and slashed towards the flying ship.
“What?” Black Feather Old Ancestor was shocked!
Feeling the terrifying power of this sword, Black Feather Old Ancestor didn’t hesitate and leapt off the flying ship. Without his support, how could the flying ship, which had lost its defensive ability, withstand this sword?
The sword light silently cut through the center of the ship and cut through the body of a Third Order Open HEaven Stage who was struggling to resist the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.
In the violent battlefield, there was a brief silence, only the sound of breathing could be heard.
Crack…
Accompanied by a light sound, the flying ship split in half, the cut is smooth. Not only that, the cultivator who had been struck by the sword light had a bloody line appear on his forehead.
Seemingly realizing something, his eyes filled with fear and helplessness as he turned his head towards Black Feather Old Ancestor and shouted, “Old Ancestor, save me!”
As soon as his voice fell, the blood line suddenly extended down to his legs.
“Puff…”
Blood spurted out as the body of this Third Order Open Heaven Stage master was split in half like the ship, his five viscera and six organs falling to the ground as he instantly died!
At this moment, the remaining two Low Rank Open HEaven seemed to wake up from a dream and let out a startled cry before spreading out their arms and touching their bodies to make sure they weren’t injured at all.
Looking up, they saw a woman in a flowing dress standing at the edge of the world’s crack, holding a cold sword in her hand, with a cold look on her beautiful face.
“Manager Lu!” Black Feather Old Ancestor grit his teeth and roared. Although the anger in his eyes was about to burst out, he could only forcefully suppress it and shout, “What is the meaning of this?”
The woman who had cut down his ship and one of his subordinates and suddenly appeared in front of him was Lu Xue, who had just left not long ago.
Why was she here? Why was she here?
Black Feather Old Ancestor couldn’t understand.
Lu Xue said lightly, “Old Ancestor should know what it mean in his heart, why ask when you already know?”
The corners of Black Feather Old Ancestor's eyes twitched violently as he grit his teeth and said, “We’ve been hunting geese all day, but today we’ve been pecked in the eye by wild geese. This old master admits defeat, but there are two things this old master doesn’t quite understand. Please explain, Manager Lu.”
Lu Xue just stared at him quietly, not saying anything.
Yang Kai put away the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and chuckled, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, just ask. Don’t worry, I’ll let you die in peace.”
Saying so, he waved his hand, causing Guo Ziyan, his Embodiment, Yu Rumeng, and Bei Li Mo to immediately pounce towards the two Low Rank Open Heaven Stage masters, each of them releasing their Divine Abilities and striking towards them.
The two men cried out in alarm and hurriedly blocked, instantly fighting with Guo Ziyan and the others.
The corners of Black Feather Old Ancestor's eyes twitched as he turned to look at his two remaining Open Heaven Stage subordinates. After hesitating for a moment, he turned to Yang Kai and asked, “Who are you to speak to this Old Ancestor?”
As a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, he naturally didn’t put Yang Kai in his eyes. From beginning to end, he only had one enemy, Lu Xue. As long as he could bypass Lu Xue, he would be able to escape.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xue said lightly, “This is my Master!”
Only then did Black Feather Old Ancestor become startled, sizing up Yang Kai before asking hesitantly, “Sword Pavilion’s Young Master?”
It wasn’t strange for him to have such doubts. After all, Lu Xue was one of the managers of Sword Pavilion, so only the Sword Pavilion's Young Master could be called Master by her.
“Sword Pavilion?” Yang Kai sneered, “Sword Pavilion was destroyed by me a long time ago. More than ten years ago, there is no more Sword Pavilion in this world.”
“What?” Black Feather Old Ancestor's eyes widened as he stared at Yang Kai in disbelief before turning to look at Lu Xue, seemingly wanting to obtain confirmation from her.
Lu Xue’s expression was calm, not revealing any clues.
However, the more this was the case, the more shocked Black Feather Old Ancestor became. The Sword Pavilion had most likely been destroyed!
For a time, Black Feather Old Ancestor broke out in a cold sweat. He had personally experienced the strength of Sword Pavilion’s Pavilion Master. In Sword Pavilion, there were several Mid Rank Open Heaven masters, so it could be said that Sword Pavilion’s overall strength was above Black Feather Sect.
If such a force was destroyed, just who was this young man in front of him? Could he be the son of a Cave Heaven Paradise's Elder?
His previous disdain had long since disappeared.
Yang Kai looked at him with a smile, “Doesn’t Old Ancestor have two questions? Do you still want to ask? If you don’t, you won’t have a chance to ask.”
Black Feather Old Ancestor was angry, he took a deep breath and said, “This old master wants to know, why are you making things difficult for this old master? If this old master remembers correctly, this is only the first time we’ve met, and we have never had any grievances before, so why must you act like this?”
“Make things difficult for you?” Yang Kai smiled lightly, stretching out his hand as if he wanted to embrace the entire world, “This place is mine, yet you dare to come to my door and act so atrociously, even wanting to swallow my place's foundation, coveting my place’s laws and world force. Are you making things difficult for me, or am I making things difficult for you?”
Black Feather Old Ancestor was surprised, but after a moment of silence, he said dryly, “This may be a misunderstanding. This old master originally thought that this place had no owner, if I had known this place had an owner, I wouldn’t have acted so rashly.”
Yang Kai waved his hand and said, “You've already done it, what’s the point of explaining? At this point, either you die or I die!”
Black Feather Old Ancestor's face sank and his heart was filled with anger as he turned to Lu Xue and asked, “Second question, may I ask why Manager Lu was able to return so quickly?”
He had clearly seen Lu Xue leave with his own eyes before, which was why he had been so bold as to rush into the Demon Territory. However, as soon as he had entered, Lu Xue had rushed back. Even if Lu Xue was a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, it was impossible for her speed to be so fast.
This was what he couldn’t understand the most. If Lu Xue hadn’t slashed at him at the last moment, he would definitely have been able to escape from the Demon Territory and wouldn’t have been trapped here with no way out!
“No comment!” Lu Xue said lightly. The reason she had been able to return so quickly was naturally because she had used the Space Spirit Bead. Before she had pretended to leave, she had secretly left behind a Space Spirit Bead, and at the critical moment, she had used the power of the Space Spirit Bead to instantly return before executing that shocking sword strike.
Yang Kai had given her the Space Spirit Bead because he was afraid that the owner of the flying ship was too strong, this would make it easier for Lu Xue to escape, he hadn’t expected it to play such a role at such a critical moment.
Hearing Lu Xue’s answer, Black Feather Old Ancestor nearly died from anger, his face turning red and blue.
