Yang Kai’s face became gloomy and after a moment of silence he said, “Since Senior has spoken, this little brat will naturally give Senior some face.”
The turtleback old man grinned, “You’re a promising young man…”
Kong Feng also let out a sigh of relief. When he had been captured alive, he had been completely disheartened and had almost thought he was going to die in the Void Land. He hadn’t expected that things would take such a drastic turn. Feeling grateful towards the Sword Wielding Man, he glared fiercely at Yang Kai, his eyes filled with hatred.
This time, the Hundred Force Alliance had suffered heavy losses, and the people from Heavenly Sword Union had been beaten to the point where he was the only one left. It could be said that this operation had been a complete failure, but it wasn’t without benefits. At the very least, he had found out about the Void Land, allowing the people above him to have a direct understanding of it.
Even if this attack failed, the Void Land would not be able to resist the next time they come prepared.
It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. As long as his life remained, there would always be a chance for him to make a comeback.
Myriad Demons Heaven's High Rank Open Heaven coldly snorted, “Boy, at least you know your place.”
The sword wielder also nodded, “Still not releasing him?”
Yang Kai nodded, “I’ll…”
As he spoke, he snatched the Water Cold Sword from Lu Xue’s hand and slashed down, leaving behind only the brilliance of this sword.
The turtleback old man’s smile froze on his face, Zhu Jiu Yin was slightly absent-minded, the two High Rank masters were stunned…
Kong Feng stared at Yang Kai in shock, his eyes as wide as an egg!
Yang Kai kicked Kong Feng’s body, sending him flying in the direction of the two High Rank Open Heaven masters. Kong Feng’s cultivation had been sealed, so how could he resist this kick? His body couldn’t help but float towards them as he shouted angrily, “Little brat Yang Kai, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you off!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin red line suddenly appeared on his neck and a head shot up into the sky, blood gushing out like a fountain!
Yang Kai’s sword slash had directly cut off his head, but because his attack was too fast, his head and body were still connected. Kong Feng’s Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage had a tenacious vitality, causing him to let out a heaven-shaking roar before he died.
However, with his head severed, no matter how strong his vitality was, it was of no use. After shouting this, his vitality quickly dissipated.
The mist surrounding the sword wielder’s body roiled as he showed a violent fluctuation in his state of mind. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, “Boy, you’re quite bold!”
Myriad Demons Heaven's High Rank Open Heaven looked at Yang Kai with interest, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Myriad Demons Heaven's people were all vicious and merciless, so Yang Kai’s actions were undoubtedly to his liking. If it weren’t for the fact that they were on different sides, he would have praised Yang Kai.
No one had expected Yang Kai to act so decisively. Just a moment ago, he had agreed to release Kong Feng, but in the next moment, he had taken Kong Feng’s life. The difference in attitude was like heaven and earth.
Kong Feng was even more miserable. He was a dignified Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, yet he had died at the hands of an Emperor Realm master. Although they didn’t dare say it won't happen in the future, it was definitely unprecedented.
Yang Kai stared coldly at the sword-wielding man and swung his sword, “This little brat’s courage has never been great, but if someone dares to bully me, I won’t sit back and do nothing. If anyone dares to offend my Void Land, my Void Land will not tolerate it!”
The other party had already come knocking on his door, so how could Yang Kai retreat? Even if he let Kong Feng go this time, how could Kong Feng and the forces behind him be grateful? This grudge had already been formed and there was no possibility of reconciliation. Rather than letting the tiger return to the mountain, it would be better to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Otherwise, if he let Kong Feng go today, what would happen if some Liu Feng or Zhao Feng appeared in the future?
Although the number of Open Heaven Stage masters he had killed before was not high, Kong Feng was different. Even the Heavenly Sword Union's Union Master had been defeated in the Void Land. After this battle, the Void Land’s name would shake the world, allowing those who wanted to seize the Void Land to know that they were not to be trifled with.
After this battle, any cats and dogs who wanted to harm the Void Land would have to consider whether their necks were strong enough.
“Very good!” The sword-wielding man quickly calmed his anger. He had only been angry because Yang Kai had killed Kong Feng in front of him, and he had already declared that he would protect Kong Feng’s life, yet Yang Kai had not given him any face. This was clearly a public slap to his face, causing his cheeks to hurt.
However, since Kong Feng was already dead, no matter how angry he was, it was useless unless he had the ability to kill Zhu Jiu Yin and the old turtleback man.
High Rank Open Heaven's temperament and cultivation were extraordinary. Although Kong Feng’s death had caused him to lose face, it had nothing to do with the overall situation.
In the fog, a pair of eyes seemed to stare deeply at Yang Kai before the sword-wielding man turned and fled, transforming into a streak of light that shot into the sky.
Myriad Demons Heaven's High Rank Open Heaven glanced at Yang Kai and chuckled, “Interesting…”
Saying so, he also left. With the two Holy Spirits of the Void Land watching over him and the sword wielder already gone, what else could he do? Naturally, he had to quickly retreat.
This time, the Hundred Force Alliance’s momentum was great, but after a single battle, almost all of them were wiped out. Even Kong Feng, the Union Master of Heavenly Sword Union, was decapitated in the void. This was something no one had expected before coming here. Besides the Black Prison’s Warden Luan Bai Feng, only a few Open Heaven Stage masters had managed to escape. This was all thanks to the sword wielder who had broken the Illusion Formation, otherwise none of them would have been able to escape.
This news would soon spread and perhaps cause a great upheaval in the 3000 Worlds. The sudden rise of the Void Land would definitely draw the attention of many people.
Yang Kai raised his head and watched the two High Rank Open Heaven masters leave. Although he was unwilling to do so, there was nothing he could do. Zhu Jiu Yin was only responsible for protecting his safety, so she was definitely unwilling to fight these two High Rank Open Heaven masters to the death. Yang Kai didn’t know what kind of attitude the turtleback old man had, but if the two of them didn’t take action, there was no way the Void Land could keep these two High Rank Open Heaven masters, so he could only watch them leave.
Returning the sword in his hand to Lu Xue, Yang Kai ordered, “Seal the formation, clean up the battlefield, and count the casualties!”
Everyone agreed and went about their duties.
Zhu Jiu Yin transformed into a stream of light and rushed towards the place where she was cultivating, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Yang Kai didn’t even have time to say anything to her, but as his Dao Protector, she should have stepped forward when his life was in danger. This was something the two of them had agreed upon, so there was no need to say anything.
Yang Kai turned to look at the turtleback old man, only to see the old man’s old face wrinkle up as he muttered in panic, “A disaster, a disaster!”
“Senior…” Yang Kai took two steps forward and cupped his fists respectfully, “Many thanks for Senior’s protection just now, this little brat is truly grateful!”
When the Sword Wielding Man said he wanted to take him away, the old man with the turtle’s back stood up and spoke up for him. If not for this, the Sword Wielding Man would not have let this matter rest.
Although it was just a few words, it was still a life-saving favor. What’s more, today’s ending was all thanks to the sudden appearance of this turtleback old man. Although he hadn’t done anything, if he hadn’t appeared, today’s situation wouldn’t have ended so quickly, and the future of the Void Land was still uncertain.
The turtleback old man looked at Yang Kai with a pained expression and heavily slammed his walking stick on the ground, “Boy, you’re in big trouble.”
Yang Kai asked curiously, “Oh? Where did this big trouble come from?”
The turtleback old man said, “You publicly slapped that guy’s face and offended that High Rank Open Heaven, isn’t that a great disaster?”
Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “Even if I didn’t slap his face, he still dared to provoke my Void Land. Since we have already formed a grudge, why should i fear him?”
The old man frowned, “That’s true, but… sigh, what bad luck.”
“I have yet to ask, how should I address you, Senior?” Yang Kai had already experienced his cowardice, so he didn’t mind.
The turtleback old man looked around but didn’t answer, only saying, “Clean up first, after you’re done, come talk to me.”
Saying so, his figure flickered and he suddenly disappeared.
Yang Kai was stunned. Although there was a huge gap in strength between them, he couldn’t even see how the other party had disappeared, but somehow, he seemed to have sensed something and looked up towards a nearby mountain peak.
With such a powerful Holy Spirit hidden in the Void Land, Yang Kai couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. He had to find out more about this person’s background, but fortunately, the turtleback old man didn’t have any malicious intent from beginning to end and instead protected him, allowing him to relax.
Sitting down on the ground, he took out a handful of pills and stuffed them into his mouth before closing his eyes and refining them.
In today’s battle, although he had only been guarding the Void Land from beginning to end and hadn’t personally gone up, he had been controlling the Great Array since the beginning of the battle and had consumed a great deal of mental energy. In the Nine Layers Heaven Formation, whether it was the Illusion Formation or Offensive Formation, they were all indiscriminate. Anyone who was inside the Formation would definitely be affected by the Great Array.
That was why he needed to constantly pay attention to the Great Array, creating opportunities for the cultivators of the Void Land to kill their enemies and avoid its influence.
If this was all there was to it, it wouldn’t be a big deal. The key was to use the last Great Array to resist Kong Feng, using a mere Emperor Realm master to activate the power of this Great Array. Even though he hadn’t been able to injure his opponent, he had already suffered many injuries.
With such an injury, it would take at least ten days or half a month for him to fully recover. This was also because of his powerful recovery ability. If it was an ordinary person, they would have to lie down for a year or so.
However, a great price mean a great harvest. Not to mention killing so many people today, even if the spoils of war were piled up like mountains, the Open Heaven Stage cultivators who had died were still extremely valuable treasures to the Void Land.
The Hundred Force Alliance had sent out many Open Heaven Stage masters this time, but only a few managed to escape in the end. Many of them were even Mid Rank Open Heaven masters, so many of them had died in the Void Land. The small universe world in their bodies had collapsed and the World Force had dispersed, filling the Void Land.
As long as the Void Land could absorb this World Force, the foundation of the Void Land would undergo a tremendous change.
As the foundation of the Void Land became stronger, the power of the Nine Layers Heaven Formation would also increase accordingly. The efficiency of a cultivator’s cultivation in the Void Land would also increase, and the chances of them comprehending the Great Dao would also increase.
