A day later, Profound Yang Mountain appeared in the distance.
Zhou Ya let out a sigh of relief and gently patted Yun Feibai’s back, gently saying, “Second Brother, we’ll be home soon.”
Yun Feibai slowly nodded, his face as pale as paper.
On his way back, although he had been suppressing his injuries, the Golden Crow True Fire was extremely powerful, and the black flames around his chest burned him to the point where he wanted to die.
Geng Qing suddenly raised his eyes and looked in front of him suspiciously, “Who is that?”
On top of a mountain in front of them, a figure stood quietly like a tree, quietly staring towards them. When their eyes met, the man’s lips curled up into a mocking smile as he pointed his spear forward and shouted, “You’re too slow, you’re making me anxious to wait!”
Zhou Ya’s beautiful face paled, “It’s that person!”
Geng Qing was flabbergasted, “How could he stop us here? How could he dare?”
The speed at which they had fled was already extremely fast. Even if Yang Kai was proficient in the Space Laws, he shouldn’t have been able to go in front of them first. What’s more, they had dozens of subordinates. Could it be that he had broken through the defenses of those dozens of people by himself?
On top of that, this place was extremely close to Profound Yang Mountain. Once they made a move here, the Great Mountain Lord could come to support them at any time. At that time, if the four Mountain Lords joined forces, who in Shadowless Cave Heaven would be able to defeat them?
Where did he get the courage to intercept them?
Before he could finish his thought, Yang Kai had already raised his spear and shouted, “Yun Feibai, i will take your life!”
It was impossible to describe the astonishing power of this spear with words. It was able to ignore the Space Barrier and pierce straight towards Yun Feibai, as if it wanted to shatter the world itself. It was clearly just a spear thrust towards Yun Feibai, but in the eyes of Zhou Ya and Geng Qing, this spear had also enveloped their bodies.
The three Mountain Lords were all shocked. Zhou Ya’s sword danced, Geng Qing’s Divine Ability was released, and Yun Feibai couldn’t care less about his own injuries. With a loud shout, he summoned his Sword Book, which transformed into a boundless Sword Qi that flew out.
Boom boom boom…
Explosions shook the sky as a series of halos flew up and down, causing the three Mountain Lords to retreat, their eyes trembling.
“How is that possible!” Zhou Ya cried out.
With the combined strength of the three of them, they had almost been unable to block the young man’s spear. They were all Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, so how could he be so powerful? When they were outside Gemini Island, this young man had suddenly woken up from his sleep and exploded with power. She had not been entangled with him and had only saved Yun Feibai before leaving, so she had not noticed anything.
At this moment, after exchanging blows with Yang Kai, Yang Kai’s terrifying strength was apparent.
The rich World Force was far richer than hers.
Yang Kai thrust his spear forward without any pause, unleashing his Unrestrained Spear Technique. Spear rain poured down like a waterfall, filling the sky as it descended upon the three Mountain Lords. Each spear contained an extremely terrifying World Force.
Yun Feibai and the other two didn’t dare to be negligent, each of them tensed up to the extreme as they used all of their strength to resist, but they were still unable to withstand the bombardment of the other party’s long spear. Each spear strike was like a bolt of lightning, and the aura of a dragon filled the air, shocking everyone present.
The Azure Dragon Spear in Yang Kai’s hand before was just a sharp weapon, but after he broke through to Open Heaven, the power of this spear slowly began to show.
When Yang Kai achieved Open Heaven, he had refined the Mysterious Small World and integrated it into his own Small Universe World. The foundation of the Mysterious Small World was deep and solid, and it had even swallowed many of the Blood Monster Cave Heaven's foundation, allowing him to leap across the gradual stages of accumulation, allowing him to compete with an experienced Open Heaven Stage cultivator.
But if he didn’t have the Azure Dragon Spear, he wouldn’t necessarily be able to fight one against three. After all, their thousands of years of accumulation was no joke.
The Proprietress could only do this with the help of the Blood Monster Battle Dress.
In a battle between Open Heaven Stage masters, the strength of the Small Universe's foundation hold a big advantage.
Spear after spear, it was simply too much for anyone to handle. Zhou Ya and Geng Qing’s situation was slightly better; after all, the two of them still had their strengths, but Yun Feibai was in a miserable state. He was already suffering from the Golden Crow's True Fire and had suffered heavy injuries, causing his strength to fall sharply. At this moment, more than half of Yang Kai’s attacks were directed towards him. If it weren’t for Geng Qing and Zhou Ya risking their lives to save him, he would have died under Yang Kai’s spear.
Even so, he was still in a precarious situation. The young man seemed to be determined to take his life and was constantly targeting him, causing him to complain incessantly.
After a dozen breaths of intense fighting, the surrounding mountain peaks had been flattened, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere.
On the Azure Dragon Spear, a pitch-black Golden Crow True Fire filled the air, causing the three Mountain Lords to be extremely wary. With Yun Feibai’s example, how could Geng Qing and Zhou Ya dare to be contaminated by this Golden Crow True Fire? Their movements were restricted.
From time to time, the space around them became thick and viscous. Obviously, the young man had used a Space Ability while attacking.
“Who dares to fight outside my Profound Yang Mountain?!” A fierce shout suddenly rang out from the direction of the Profound Yang Mountain, followed by a huge figure appearing from the direction of the Profound Yang Mountain, covering the sky and the earth as it stared towards them.
Yun Feibai, who was struggling to resist Yang Kai’s attack, shouted, “Big Brother, save me!”
The dignified man’s eyes suddenly flashed as he looked over, his face suddenly filled with anger as he shouted, “Impudent brat!”
Saying so, the figure suddenly shrank back and a stream of light rushed out from the Profound Yang Mountain’s side. It was obvious that the Profound Yang Mountain’s Great Mountain Lord, Mao Zhe, had noticed the situation and rushed over to help.
Geng Qing and Zhou Ya were overjoyed. The three of them couldn’t resist Yang Kai’s attack at all. If their Big Brother came to their aid, the situation would be completely different. After all, they were well aware of Mao Zhe’s strength.
Holding the spear in his hand, Yang Kai turned his head towards the direction of the Profound Yang Mountain and coldly snorted. With a twist of his spear, he swept it out, forcing Geng Qing and the other two to retreat. Immediately afterwards, he rushed towards Yun Feibai, who was vomiting blood, and arrived in front of him in a flash.
Yun Feibai’s face paled as he hurriedly retreated.
Yang Kai stared at him coldly, silently activating his [So Close, Yet Worlds Apart] Secret Technique. In an instant, the vast space stretched and distorted, and even time seemed to stop at this moment, causing one’s thoughts to become chaotic.
Yun Feibai was shocked to find that no matter what he did, he was unable to pull away from Yang Kai and could only watch as he raised his spear and stabbed towards him.
Under this spear strike, the aura of death enveloped Yun Feibai, causing him to roar as his Sword Book glowed brightly. Sword Qi filled the sky as it gathered towards the Azure Dragon Spear.
Geng Qing and Zhou Ya, who had rushed over from the side, were both affected by the [So Close, Yet Worlds Apart] and Time Laws. Although they had only broken through in a short time, what they saw was the life and death struggle between Yang Kai and Yun Feibai.
“Brat, how dare you!” The Great Mountain Lord shouted from afar.
Yang Kai remained unmoved as he released his Azure Dragon Spear’s power, causing a dragon roar to shake the sky as his sword light was annihilated.
With a light cracking sound, something seemed to have been pierced.
Geng Qing and Zhou Ya both froze in place and stared blankly ahead. The Great Mountain Lord Mao Zhe landed in front of them, his face ashen.
A thousand feet in front of the three, Yang Kai held his spear with one hand while maintaining his posture. Not far away from him, Yun Feibai’s eyes were filled with anger as he stood there stiffly, not moving at all because the spear had directly pierced through his head.
The powerful defense of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage was like paper in front of this unstoppable Azure Dragon Spear.
The long spear was still burning with the Black Golden Crow True Fire, like a spiritual snake, climbing up Yun Feibai’s head.
Time froze at this moment.
Yun Feibai rolled his eyes.
Even though he was seriously injured, he didn’t immediately die. The powerful vitality of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master was obvious, but because of the intense pain, his face couldn’t help twitching.
In front of him, Yang Kai’s clothes were in tatters, and his body was covered in countless criss-crossing wounds. Each wound was wrapped in pure Sword Qi, and the biggest one almost tore open Yang Kai’s stomach.
Golden blood dyed Yang Kai’s entire body golden.
The desperate attack of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage was no joke. If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s half-dragon body and powerful defensive capabilities, he would have been torn to pieces by Yun Feibai.
Watching this scene quietly, Mao Zhe’s eyes narrowed as he said, “Junior Brother, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. This King will definitely satisfy them.”
When he first came here, he had called out to Yang Kai, but now that Yun Feibai’s life was in his hands, he politely called him Junior Brother.
Yang Kai turned around and grinned at him, “Any request?”
Mao Zhe said lightly, “If you don’t go too far, you can.”
“Can you exchange your life for his?”
A trace of anger flashed across Mao Zhe’s eyes, “Junior Brother must be joking, Junior Brother should reconsider. The person under your spear is my Profound Yang Mountain’s Second Mountain Lord. If you kill him, you will become an enemy of my Profound Yang Mountain. My Profound Yang Mountain will never let this matter rest, but if you let him go, you will become my Profound Yang Mountain’s most honored guest!”
“Trying to scare me?” Yang Kai raised his brow.
Mao Zhe said lightly, “Just stating the truth.”
“What’s the point of talking so much nonsense? I came here to kill,” Yang Kai suddenly shouted, and with a flick of his spear, the World Force was activated, causing Yun Feibai’s eyes to widen. Before he could react, his entire head exploded.
The headless corpse convulsed, blood spurting from its neck as it staggered to the ground!
Geng Qing and Zhou Ya were stunned.
Their Second Brother was dead!
Right in front of their eyes, after their big brother had come to their aid, he had been stabbed in the head and died a tragic death. After thousands of years of living together, they had never imagined that today would be the last time they would see each other. For a moment, they couldn’t believe it.
Moreover, this place was only a few hundred kilometers away from the Profound Yang Mountain, and they would soon be able to return home.
They suddenly began to suspect that Yang Kai had deliberately blocked their path here, otherwise, why hadn’t he chosen another place along the way?
The purpose of this blockade was probably to lure the Great Mountain Lord out!
Turning their head, they saw Great Mountain Lord’s face turn ashen, his narrowed eyes flashing with a dangerous light as he coldly spat out, “Kill!”
