Zhao Yi looked at Xia Linlang gently and said, “Although Bright Sun Divine Monarch is an Eighth Order, he has a good character and has never used his power to bully others. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. When I first entered Shattered Heaven, I was pursued by Luo Sheng Cave Heaven masters and had no place to hide. It was Bright Sun Divine Monarch who hid me, otherwise how could this Shattered Heaven still have the Zhao Yi of today?”
“So you found him?” Xia Linlang stared at Zhao Yi coldly.
Zhao Yi sighed, “With the exception of those few Eighth Order, with this World Spring appearing, anyone else in Shattered Heaven will only be inviting trouble to themselves. I’m doing this for your own good.”
“Then I really must thank you!” Xia Linlang grit her teeth.
Zhao Yi shook his head and said, “Linlang, I know you will blame me, but this matter must be resolved like this. You entered Shattered Heaven a little later than me, and you did not experience the bloody storm three thousand years ago, but I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, no less than ten Seventh Order Open Heaven stage fell after that Mystery Fish appeared, and all of them were people who had once tried to take possession of the Mystery Fish. How could they not be like you today? Even if they obtained the Mystery Fish, how could they be safe? I don’t want to see you suffer the same fate as your predecessors, so even if you curse and hate me, I will accept it!”
Xia Linlang pursed her lips and asked lightly, “Are you done?”
Zhao Yi was slightly startled and nodded, “I’m done!”
Xia Linlang let out a sigh of relief and looked towards Zhao Yi, “I know what you’re thinking, and I also know that you’re doing this for my own good.”
A look of joy appeared on Zhao Yi’s face, thinking that Xia Linlang had been persuaded by him, but in the next moment, this joy disappeared.
“However, no matter what, I will not hand over the World Spring!” Xia Linlang’s tone was firm, “If you still consider our past friendship, please open the way, otherwise our friendship will end here!”
A look of pain appeared on Zhao Yi’s face as he opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
At this moment, on the ship Zhao Yi had appeared on, two figures rushed towards Yang Kai.
These two were a man and a woman, both of them at the Sixth Order. One of them was a handsome man in white, while the other was an innocent woman holding a peach blossom.
Before they even arrived, two Divine Abilities had already struck towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s aura couldn’t help becoming agitated, and the depression he had been suppressing for so long suddenly transformed into boundless killing intent!
This sudden change startled Yang Kai.
Looking up, a look of surprise appeared on his face because the man and woman who had attacked him is someone he had actually met twice before.
The first time was in the Shattered Heaven Star City. After Yang Kai sent Wu Kuang away, he sat alone on the second floor of the restaurant and saw the two people walking along the street.
The second time was outside the Universe Cave Heaven with the World Spring. At that time, this man and woman were also present, but with the appearance of Xia Linlang and the other High Rank masters, the crowd gradually dispersed. By the time Yang Kai and the Bright King Heaven's Elder Yu captured Blood Crow, the man and woman had already disappeared.
Yang Kai had a deep impression of these two, especially the white-robed man.
Just because they had met twice, Yang Kai had instinctively felt a sense of repulsion and disgust towards him, as if he had some kind of innate hatred towards this guy.
This time, the white-robed man attacked ferociously, causing Yang Kai’s killing intent to surge.
Yang Kai even felt his Dragon Vein becoming restless.
These two had attacked so suddenly and without any warning, it was obvious they were planning to launch a sneak attack.
Xia Linlang flew into a rage and shouted, “Impudence!”
Raising her hand, she sent out a palm strike towards the two of them. Although this man and woman were both Sixth Order and their combined strength was quite impressive, they still couldn’t stand up to a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage. Under this palm strike, the two figures suddenly froze.
Zhao Yi’s expression also changed as he shouted, “No!”
In a flash, he appeared in front of Xia Linlang and blocked with his palm.
Space trembled as the World Force collided. Zhao Yi’s figure shot back while Xia Linlang’s figure swayed slightly.
It wasn’t that Zhao Yi’s strength was inferior to Xia Linlang’s, if they were to fight to the death, the two of them would at most be equal, and perhaps Zhao Yi would be even stronger.
However, Zhao Yi had acted in a hurry, and because he was worried about Xia Linlang, he didn’t dare to use too much strength, so he had suffered a small loss.
“Zhao Yi, you want to stop me?” Xia Linlang asked angrily.
Zhao Yi’s face was filled with bitterness as he suppressed his Small Universe's shock and said, “Linlang, these two are subordinates of Bright Sun Divine Monarch, they cannot be killed!”
Xia Linlang’s expression froze for a moment as she finally understood why Zhao Yi hadn’t made a move yet these two Sixth Order dared to act so presumptuously in front of her. It turned out they were the people of Bright Sun Divine Monarch. With such an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage as their backer, who in Shattered Heaven would be worthy of their attention?
“Moreover, that man is somewhat related to a certain force in the Shattered Ruins,” Zhao Yi whispered.
Xia Linlang was stunned.
Shattered Ruins was both the deepest part of Shattered Heaven and a forbidden area. Even an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage master like Bright Sun Divine Monarch wouldn’t dare set foot in that place easily. Even after two or three thousand years, Xia Linlang had never entered the Shattered Ruins, not even thinking about it because not only was the environment of Shattered Ruins extremely harsh, there were also some extremely powerful existences living inside.
If the white-robed man was just a subordinate of Bright Sun Divine Monarch, then so be it, but if he really was related to a certain force in the Shattered Ruins, that would be the most terrifying.
As the two of them spoke, Yang Kai had already begun fighting against the man and woman. Although they were of the same grade, he wasn’t at a disadvantage at all. The Azure Dragon Spear’s aura was awe-inspiring, and with the power of the world, the man and woman were unable to get close.
This scene left Zhao Yi dumbfounded.
Although he wasn’t familiar with this man and woman and had only cooperated temporarily, he knew that although this man was only a Sixth Order, he was the strongest Sixth Order he had ever seen.
If he really wanted to kill his opponent at the same cultivation level, it wouldn’t take more than ten minutes.
Although the woman was not as strong as the man, she was much stronger than an ordinary Sixth Order.
With these two joining forces, Zhao Yi had thought that taking down Yang Kai would be a simple task, but who would have thought that they were evenly matched!
There was actually such a freak in this world? Zhao Yi was slightly dazed.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Xia Linlang’s figure rush towards the battlefield. Zhao Yi paled in fright and once again tried to stop her, saying painstakingly, “Linlang, don’t be so stubborn. I’ve already told you the truth, so it’s best if you listen to me. If you don’t, even if you hate me today, I’ll stop you!”
“Get out of my way!” Xia Linlang fiercely slapped her palm down.
Zhao Yi’s mouth was filled with bitterness, but he could only summon his strength to resist.
For a time, the two battlefields were filled with fierce battles.
Leaving aside the fact that neither Zhao Yi nor Xia Linlang could do anything to the other, although the battle was extremely intense, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhao Yi was constantly tolerating Xia Linlang’s attacks and was constantly losing ground. However, if Xia Linlang wanted to escape from his entanglement, it was only a wild dream. After all, they were both Seventh Order, so if Zhao Yi wanted to stop her, there was nothing she could do.
What’s more, she had already absorbed Qin Fen and the others into her Small Universe, so it was inconvenient for her to fight with others, affecting her strength.
In comparison, the battle between Yang Kai and the man and woman was much fiercer. Neither side held back, attacking with their killing blows.
The man and woman were both shocked, and Yang Kai was equally amazed.
Among those of the same grade, it was already difficult for him to meet someone who could fight him. Putting aside the old monster Blood Crow who had taken over a body and was reborn, if he wanted to kill a Sixth Order master, he could kill them in less than ten breaths.
However, the man and woman opposite him gave him a huge surprise.
The woman was slightly inferior, but the man was truly extraordinary. Even if they were to fight one on one, he would have the qualifications to fight him.
In the midst of this fierce battle, the Azure Dragon Spear was burning hot, and every time it pierced out, a deafening dragon roar would ring out.
This was something he had never encountered before.
Not only was there something wrong with the Azure Dragon Spear, but the Dragon Vein inside Yang Kai’s body was also boiling with excitement. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t suppress the killing intent in his body, and his eyes were almost completely bloodshot.
The man opposite him did the same.
After fighting for a while, Yang Kai suddenly felt a strange aura from this man’s body and suddenly realized that this white-robed man was the same as him, both of them possessing Holy Spirit Bloodline!
However, what was different from him was that this person did not refine the Holy Spirit Source, but rather had a trace of the Holy Spirit’s mixed bloodline.
It was precisely because of the conflict between their bloodlines that they had met like enemies.
Peach Flower blossoms, the peach blossoms were everywhere.
As the Golden Crow’s cry rang out, the sun leapt up and the sea of flowers shattered as Yang Kai thrust his spear forward.
Holding the peach blossom branch in her hand, the woman who was rapidly approaching Yang Kai felt a chill run down her spine. In her eyes, the scorching hot sun was rapidly expanding, threatening to swallow her whole.
With her internal qi locked, she was unable to advance or retreat. Letting out a delicate shout, the peach blossom branch in her hand shot forward to intercept this attack.
The sun was shining brightly as the peach blossom branches melted. Seeing that the woman was about to die under the Azure Dragon Spear, the white-robed man flashed over and stabbed his two fingers towards Yang Kai's heart.
Attack the enemy and save!
Yang Kai didn’t hesitate in the slightest and swept his spear towards him.
The spear directly struck the white-robed man’s waist, and as the violent power burst forth, the white-robed man opened his mouth and spat out a bloody mist towards Yang Kai.
The blood mist was extremely strange, and even though Yang Kai was using his strength to protect himself, he was still contaminated by it.
A giant dragon head appeared behind Yang Kai and roared, shaking the nine heavens.
The woman who had just escaped death flashed forward and caught the stumbling white-robed man, her face filled with concern, “Young Master!”
The white-robed man shook his head and spat out a mouthful of blood as he stared fixedly at Yang Kai, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as his whole body became hot. As he shook his head, he couldn’t help feeling the urge to transform into a half dragon.
Xia Linlang seemed to sense that something was wrong with him and quickly rushed over, grabbing his arm and shouting, “Go!”
Yang Kai suppressed the killing intent in his heart and stared deeply at the white-robed man. Although he really wanted to kill him, he also knew that it wasn’t wise to remain here for long. The commotion here was not small, so if there was someone nearby, they should have noticed. Activating his Space Laws, he wrapped Xia Linlang up and fled.
When the white-robed man punched out, Yang Kai and Xia Linlang were nowhere to be seen.
