At that critical moment, Yu Kai's body slid sideways like a willow catkin in the wind, narrowly avoiding Yin Wuji's fierce, air-tear-splitting blade. Then, like a ghost, he flashed behind Yin Wuji, his sword in hand like a flash of lightning, stabbing at Yin Wuji's back.

Yin Wuji's reaction was breathtakingly fast. He spun in an instant, wielding his long sword, and precisely parried Yu Kai's swift, thunderous attack. With a resounding "bang," like thunder from the heavens, the air around them instantly churned like boiling water, creating a violent ripple. The immense impact, like a surging tide, forced the two apart involuntarily.

"Hmph, you have some skills!" Yin Wuji said bitterly, his eyes wide open. Then, he raised his long sword again and pounced on Yu Kai like a mad beast. This time, the force he exerted was several times greater than before.

Yu Kai was also undaunted. A sneer played across his lips. "Nothing more!" As soon as he finished speaking, he launched another powerful counterattack. For a moment, the flashes of swords and sabers crisscrossed like dancing silver snakes. The sound of fierce collisions was incessant, jarring the eardrums.

At this tense moment, the other warships of Heaven gradually closed in on them like ghosts. Suddenly, an overwhelming rain of arrows, like a swarm of locusts, and the roar of divine thunder, like a galloping horse, pelted the warship where Niu Niu and the others were. Seeing this, Niu Niu instantly cast a dazzling and powerful shield in front of the cockpit. The shield glowed, blocking the dense rain of arrows and the deafening thunder. She was doing her utmost to ensure Wu Xiaohu's safety.

Yu Kai's eyes suddenly glared, his heart aching with anxiety. He quickly mobilized the mysterious and powerful spiritual energy within him, fiercely kicking away Yin Wuji's White Tiger Roaring Sky Blade. He charged forward like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he had the sharp sword at Yin Wuji's neck. "Don't move! If you move again, I'll kill him!" he roared, his voice resounding like a bell.

The two lieutenants were horrified when they saw this scene and shouted in unison, "Release Lord Xingjun!"

Yu Kai's eyes were as cold as ice. He brought his sword close to Yin Wuji's neck, and a stream of blood oozed out. "Hurry up and make them stop attacking, or we'll be dead!" His tone was cold and emotionless.

Yin Wuji's eyes were blazing with fire, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He glared at Yu Kai with squinting eyes and gnashed his teeth, "You are humiliating me! How could anyone in the Yin family be afraid of death?"

"No! Stop, everyone stop!" A deputy general flew high with a spear in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs at the warships coming from all directions.

Instantly, the entire sky seemed to have been silenced. Numerous warships swarmed towards them. After enduring round after round of violent, stormy attacks, Niuniu's ship finally collapsed under the weight and began to shake violently, seemingly about to disintegrate and crash.

"Niuniu, Brother Xiaohu! Come here quickly!" Yu Kai looked anxious and shouted at them at the top of his voice.

Yin Wuji took the opportunity to shout at the two lieutenants, "Go ahead, kill him! Leave me alone!"

However, the two lieutenants did not obey and only shouted at Yu Kai, "Release Lord Xingjun!"

Yu Kai didn't respond until he saw Niuniu flying over with Wu Xiaohu in her arms just as the warship was about to crash. Only then did he feel relieved. He turned to look at the two lieutenants and said firmly, "Give us the warship and let us leave. I'll let him go!"

"Don't push your luck! Do you know who you are holding hostage?" A deputy general shouted with his eyes wide open and his face flushed.

Yu Kai still didn't answer, but instead gently twisted his sword around Yin Wuji's neck, causing blood to flow out instantly. "Don't scare me, my hands will shake!"

“You…you…” The two lieutenants were so angry that their faces turned pale. The lieutenant holding a spear roared at the warship below: “Get off and give the warship to him!”

The heavenly soldiers did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly flew towards the warship next to them.

Yu Kai held Yin Wuji and signaled Niuniu and the others to take control of the warship. Wu Xiaohu rushed to the cockpit like an arrow and took control of the warship. Niuniu carefully inspected the warship and nodded to Yu Kai after confirming it was safe. Yu Kai then hugged Yin Wuji and flew aboard. Then, he shouted at the two lieutenants, "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"I told you to leave me alone, are you all deaf?" Yin Wuji stared at the two deputy generals with cold eyes and full of anger, and roared angrily.

"Shut up!" Niuniu couldn't stand it anymore, so she raised her hand and gave him a loud slap in the face.

"How dare you! You ignorant wild girl, how dare you!" A deputy general was furious upon seeing this.

"Give me or not?" Niuniu was not afraid and slapped Yin Wuji in the face again. Yin Wuji stared at Niuniu with wide eyes, blood oozing from the corners of his mouth, but Niuniu ignored his murderous gaze and raised her arm again.

"Get out of the way, everyone! Let them go!" the deputy commander, holding a spear, shouted angrily. Following his command, the warships on both sides quickly made way for a wide passage. He looked at Yu Kai and said coldly, "Lord Xingjun is the young master of Tianxi Star! Do you understand the consequences of doing this?"

"I only know that he can only be safe if we are safe. We are worthless anyway. The worst that can happen is that we kill this so-called young master as a scapegoat, and you will not escape punishment either. You might even come down to accompany us." Yu Kai completely ignored his threats, his tone as calm as water, as if everything was under his control.
