Saying so, he turned around and left.
After just a few steps, an exasperated voice called out from behind him, “Boy, you dare!”
Yang Kai didn’t even turn his head and simply straightened his neck, “See if I dare!”
He strode forward.
Zhong Liang, who was pretending to be out, couldn’t sit still any longer. His figure flickered as he rushed out of the hall towards Yang Kai and stopped him.
Yang Kai looked at him mockingly, “Isn’t the Regiment Commander out right now?”
Zhong Liang’s expression remained the same, “It was quite a coincidence, i have just returned.”
Yang Kai chuckled, “What a coincidence, since the Regiment Commander is here, in front of the Regiment Commander, this disciple will request to lead the team…”
Before he could finish, Zhong Liang waved his hand, “Rejected!”
Yang Kai’s words were stuck in his throat and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Taking a deep breath, he looked towards Zhong Liang helplessly and said, “Regiment Commander, this Disciple has been slaughtering his way up to this point. I am not a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse.”
Zhong Liang said, “It has nothing to do with this, it’s just that your existence is extremely important to my Human Race, so we cannot afford to be careless. I understand your feelings, but Yang Boy, this King hopes that you will consider the bigger picture.”
Yang Kai lowered his head and said, “Disciple is only a newly promoted Seventh Order Disciple. The overall situation of the Black Ink Battlefield is too big for Disciple to care about. Disciple can only do what he can.”
Zhong Liang raised his brow and said, “You should stay in the pass. This is what you can do now, and what we old fogies desire the most.”
Yang Kai remained silent. How could he not understand the thoughts of Zhong Liang and the others? He also understood why they had such thoughts. If he were to stand on Zhong Liang’s side, he might not be willing for someone like him to risk his life.
Understanding was one thing, but Yang Kai had his own principles.
Now that he possessed the World Spring, he was unafraid of the corrosion of the Ink Force and even possessed the Purification Light. Having just broken through to the Seventh Order, his strength had greatly increased, so he should be like a fish in water on the Black Ink Battlefield.
If he were to be trapped in this Blue Sky Pass for a long time, he would definitely lose his drive and become useless in the future.
In this current situation, he could only resist.
“In the Black Ink Battlefield, there are more than a hundred human passes and millions of soldiers. Disciple is just one of them. Disciple can also do what others can do and go where others can go. Disciple doesn’t want to be treated in a special way, so I hope Regiment Commander can help me,” Yang Kai cupped his fists respectfully.
Zhong Liang let out a long sigh, “Life doesn’t always go as planned. There are always some people in this world who have abilities others don’t have, so they have to bear responsibilities that others can’t. You say you don’t want to be treated differently, but since you have such unique methods, there’s no way you won’t be treated differently.”
Yang Kai looked at him helplessly, “It’s said that the older one is, the more stubborn they become. Originally, this Disciple didn’t believe it, but seeing how the Regiment Commander is acting, this Disciple has no choice but to believe it.”
Hearing this, a few of the nearby guards couldn’t help laughing.
Zhong Liang snorted, “Impudent brat.” He glared at the guards again.
Yang Kai grit his teeth and shouted, “Regiment Commander, Disciple is proficient in Space Laws!”
Zhong Liang nodded repeatedly, “En, I know, what do you want to say?”
“Disciple wants to say that if I insist on leaving, the Regiment Commander won’t be able to stop me. Unless you seal off the entire Blue Sky Pass, I can easily leave this place.”
Zhong Liang’s eyes twitched, “Don’t forget, you are now a soldier of Blue Sky Pass. If you don’t obey orders, you will be punished according to military law.”
Yang Kai snorted, obviously not taking his words to heart.
“How about this, Regiment Commander, let’s make a bet?”
“What bet?” Zhong Liang frowned at him.
“Within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, Blue Sky Pass’ territory will be the limit. If you can catch me, I’ll stay. If you can’t catch me, you’ll have to agree to my request, how about it?” [Hoogsway: Filler alert.]
Zhong Liang was immediately angered to the point of laughing, “Do you have so much confidence in yourself?” How could he not know that those who were proficient in the Space Laws were proficient in escaping? If they were to use the void outside as a battlefield, he might not have the confidence to capture Yang Kai, but if he were to use Blue Sky Pass as a boundary, wouldn’t an Eighth Order master like him be able to easily capture a Seventh Order like Yang Kai?
Yang Kai’s nose pointed towards the sky as he stared back at him arrogantly, “I’ll ask if the Regiment Commander dares to bet! If you don’t dare, I promise I won’t laugh at you.”
Even though he knew that Yang Kai was trying to provoke him, Zhong Liang’s face still became ugly as he grit his teeth and said, “Fine, I’ll bet with you, but little brat, if you’re captured, it won’t be as simple as staying in Blue Sky Pass. This King will definitely beat you to a pulp!”
Waving his hand, he shouted, “Come, burn the incense!”
One of the guards who had been watching from the sidelines quickly took out an incense stick from his Small Universe and an incense burner.
Yang Kai glanced at the incense burner that was half the height of a man and the incense burner that was as thick as a man’s chest and couldn’t help teasing, “Regiment Commander is indeed rich and overbearing. This incense burner is also much larger than others’.”
Even with Zhong Liang’s old face, he couldn’t help blushing. Normally, an incense stick’s worth of time wouldn’t be too long, but if he wanted to burn this incense stick, it would be at least three or four times as long.
This wasn’t something he had prepared beforehand, it was just that the guards had made the decision on their own.
Although he felt it was a bit shameless, it was just what he wanted, so he immediately smiled and said, “If you think it’s inappropriate, then we won’t be competing anymore. You’d better stay in the pass or you’ll cry later.”
Yang Kai stared at the incense stick for a moment, but now that he had spoken, how could he back down? Gritting his teeth, he shouted, “Let's go!”
Zhong Liang smiled even more slyly than a fox and raised his hand, “Light it up!”
The guard received the order and immediately prepared to burn the incense.
Zhong Liang smiled at Yang Kai and said, “Little brat, don’t blame this king for not warning you, you can run now. After the incense burns, this king will take action.”
Saying so, he stood on the spot and stretched out his arms and legs as if he was stretching his muscles.
Before he could finish, Yang Kai turned around and ran.
Behind Zhong Liang, a large incense stick also lit up.
The moment the fragrance filled the air, Zhong Liang’s entire body shot towards the direction where Yang Kai had fled like an arrow. He wanted to capture this little brat in one fell swoop so that he wouldn’t have to worry about him running out of this place. He wanted Yang Kai to obediently stay inside this place.
Suddenly, Zhong Liang became vigilant and looked up to see that Yang Kai, who was supposed to be fleeing at top speed, had suddenly turned around and was staring at him with a grin on his face. Both of his hands were raised high into the sky, and on one hand, a great sun was rising while a Golden Crow was howling. On the other hand, the full moon was shining brightly.
Sun and Moon Divine Wheel!
When they intersected, they transformed into a spinning top that was filled with the Time Law and Space Law. As they merged together, a profound power suddenly emerged.
The spinning sun and moon rapidly expanded in Zhong Liang’s field of vision and soon occupied all of his vision. As an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage, even he couldn’t help feeling a chill run down his spine. The power of this Divine Ability was beyond imagination and was definitely not something a Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage could display.
With such a Divine Ability, even if he was a peak Eighth Order, he would not be able to withstand it.
He didn’t expect Yang Kai to not only not escape but instead turn around and attack him, catching him off guard and making it too late to dodge.
Moreover, under the influence of this strange Divine Ability, the space around him seemed to distort and even his perception became somewhat blurry.
Something was wrong!
Zhong Liang made a prompt decision. With a loud roar, the power of an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage burst forth, sweeping up the World Force as he punched forward.
A loud bang rang out as a violent energy burst out, causing the entire Blue Sky Pass to shake violently. Countless soldiers inside the pass were shocked, thinking that the Black Ink Clan had invaded their territory.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared above Blue Sky Pass.
In the Eastern Army military office, Ding Yao’s office, after sensing the disturbance, Ding Yao immediately leapt into the air and looked up, his brow wrinkled as he saw Zhong Liang floating in the air. However, at this moment, Zhong Liang’s expression was somewhat miserable. Although the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel had not managed to harm him, it had still been able to cause his blood rolling, making it difficult for him to chase after him. Moreover, under the violent energy, he had lost sight of Yang Kai and didn’t know where to find him.
Frowning, Ding Yao flashed away and soon arrived in front of the Western Army military office.
Accompanying him were Liang Yulong and Shentu Mo, who had “gone out”.
The three Regiment Commanders gathered together and the Western Army’s adjutant quickly bowed.
“What is he doing?” Ding Yao frowned.
As soon as these words left his mouth, his eyes suddenly widened as he looked towards Zhong Liang’s direction. In his vision, he could clearly see a layer of ripples appear in the air. Immediately after, Yang Kai’s figure appeared like a ghost, less than 30 zhang behind Zhong Liang, holding an Azure Dragon Spear and thrusting it towards Zhong Liang’s back.
This action caused Ding Yao’s eyelids to twitch, but he could also see that Yang Kai didn’t have any killing intention. Moreover, Zhong Liang was a peak Eighth Order master, so although this attack was unexpected and powerful, it might not be able to do anything to him.
However, Zhong Liang’s perception had clearly been distorted by the Sun and Moon Divine Wheel just now. Yang Kai had launched a sneak attack at such a close distance, but Zhong Liang hadn’t been able to detect it until the tip of the spear was about to hit him. He suddenly turned around and punched again.
With another loud bang, Yang Kai’s figure flew up like a paper kite and fell into the void. After the ripples subsided, he disappeared, leaving behind only his voice, “Regiment Commander is truly amazing. Disciple admires you.”
Zhong Liang, who had followed close behind, grabbed nothing but air, his face as black as the bottom of a pot as he couldn’t help roaring, “Little brat, you must hide well. Don’t let me catch you, or else I’ll teach you a lesson.”
He is the Regiment Commander of the Western Army, one of the top figures in the entire Blue Sky Pass below the Old Ancestor, but now he had been played around by Yang Kai, a newly promoted Seventh Order. If he wasn’t careful, he would suffer a loss of face.
Although he was angry, he couldn’t help admiring Yang Kai’s courage.
He had never thought that Yang Kai would dare to strike first and gain the upper hand. In that situation just now, if it had been an ordinary Seventh Order Open Heaven, he would have died twice already.
