"Have we been discovered?" Yu Kai frowned as he stared at the warship flying straight towards him. He muttered to himself, "Looks like we'll have to fight them after all."
Soon, the warship descended over Shennongjia like a ferocious beast. A celestial general's eyes flashed like lightning as he fixed his gaze on Yu Kai and his companions, shouting, "Bring us bows and arrows!"
"Yes!" A celestial soldier quickly stepped forward, bowing and holding a bow in both hands. The celestial general took the bow, pulled it to the full moon shape, and with a whoosh, a sharp arrow shot out like lightning. Its speed was like a meteor chasing the moon, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound.
Watching the lightning-fast arrow hurtling toward him, Yu Kai's last shred of hope vanished instantly, certain he had been discovered. Instantly, armor enveloped him like a tidal wave. He thrust out his hand, grasping the sharp arrow with lightning speed. Then, like a nimble cheetah, he shot out of the woods, his figure swift and graceful, like a dragon swimming.
Upon seeing Yu Kai suddenly appear, all the celestial soldiers tensed up, quickly entering a state of high alert, their weapons flashing coldly. The leading celestial general's eyes were cold and unmoved. "You're quite capable! Wearing a mecha proves you're not a bloodthirsty mutant. You're the underworld criminal we're looking for?" His tone became more stern, carrying a sense of superiority and majesty.
"I have no intention of making an enemy of you. I am only in the underworld to protect myself!" Yu Kai's tone was as calm as water, but revealed an unwavering determination.
The leading celestial general shouted, "You have disturbed the order of the underworld and deserve death. Yet you dare to claim you were only protecting yourself? Come with me and face trial!"
"What if I say no?" Yu Kai asked coldly, his eyes full of stubbornness, like a tiger that refused to surrender.
"You are so bold that you even dare to arrest me," the general paused for a moment, then roared, "Catch me!" He waved his hand with great momentum.
"Yes!" Countless heavenly soldiers, weapons in hand, flew out from the warships, shouting in unison, their voices shaking the heavens as they charged towards Yu Kai. Their figures moved like lightning, their momentum surging like a raging wave, completely drowning Yu Kai.
Yu Kai looked upon these fierce celestial soldiers without fear, his eyes ablaze with a fierce fire of war. He lashed out with his long arrow, and one celestial soldier, unable to dodge, was struck in the chest. With a scream, he slammed into the ground like a falling meteorite, sending up a cloud of dust. Yu Kai instantly charged forward, his punches as powerful as thunder, each one carrying a whistling wind. Every celestial soldier was sent flying by his blows, drawing graceful arcs through the air before plummeting downwards. He advanced as if unconquered, unmatched by any opponent.
The once peaceful and tranquil forest was reduced to a shambles, with trees falling and flowers and plants withering. Birds and animals fled in terror, their screams echoing one after another.
"You're quite capable indeed!" the general roared, then charged forward with the force of a thunderbolt, spear in hand. The spear danced, carrying with it a tremendous force like a tidal wave, its momentum so terrifying it seemed to rip the very air apart.
Yu Kai dodged sideways like a ghost, easily avoiding the fierce blow. At the same time, his right hand gripped the spear firmly like an iron clamp, making it seem as if it were trapped in steel, unable to move at all.
Immediately afterwards, he swiftly kicked out with his other foot, like a cannonball, striking the celestial general squarely in the abdomen. The celestial general instantly flew out like a cannonball, slamming into the ground with a thud. The ground shook violently, and a huge, deep crater formed in an instant, thick with dust.
The general had just struggled to his feet when Yu Kai pressed his spear to his throat. He swallowed hard, his body instantly frozen in place, not daring to move an inch. The other surrounding celestial soldiers also stopped in their tracks, not daring to make any rash moves, each one terrified.
"Tell me, why did you come to Earth?" Yu Kai stared at the celestial general with a sharp gaze and asked in a cold voice.
"Boy, do you know what you are doing? I am a general of the Heavenly Star Department." The general was still arrogant, trying to intimidate Yu Kai with his noble status.
The spear thrust forward, piercing his neck. A trickle of blood instantly flowed out, winding down like a red thread. "Sir!" The other heavenly soldiers were shocked, their faces showing extreme panic.
"Hold on, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" The general lost his previous arrogance and instantly became obedient. "We are sent to Earth by the Jade Emperor for training. Our main goal is to eliminate the mutant creatures on Earth and not allow them to grow. We are also capturing you and Wu Xiaohu, two of the most wanted criminals in the underworld."
"Who were sent here? How strong are they?" Yu Kai continued to ask, his eyes pressing.
"The two heroes of the Thunder Department lead the charge, assisted by ten great generals, totaling 120,000 celestial soldiers. We, along with Azure Dragon Spirit General and White Tiger Star Lord, are merely the vanguard. These generals are all descendants of prominent families, each a leader of their generation, some at least transcendent and saintly." The celestial general pondered for a moment and added, "They have powerful backing and are all third-generation immortals who cannot be provoked."
"Are you afraid that I will kill them?" Yu Kai's eyes were as cold as ice as he stared directly at the heavenly general, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate his soul.
The general was a little frightened, with cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to say another word.
"Even if I don't take action, will they let us go?" Yu Kai asked again in a cold voice, his tone full of doubt and unwillingness.
"You'd better not act rashly. These young generals are all here for training. They've been given the title of god at such a young age! Their backgrounds are terrifying. The two heroes of the Thunder Department are the grandsons of Wen Zhong, the Universal God. Among them are two descendants of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, two descendants of the Emperor of Mount Tai, disciples of the Supreme God Jiang Ziya, and two descendants of star officials." The general looked at Yu Kai with a pleading look in his eyes, "Nothing must happen to them!"
"Is it possible that we will be in trouble?" Niu Niu came rushing over from a distance like a meteor, with a powerful momentum surging out, shocking the surrounding heavenly soldiers to retreat again and again, staggering.
"Yes, my young master must not be in any harm. Whoever dares to deal with my young master, I will fight him to the death, even the Jade Emperor!" Wu Xiaohu also flew over from behind, holding a big knife in his hand, with murderous intent all over his body.
The general looked at Yu Kai and said, "I am telling the truth. If anything happens to any of them, it could bring catastrophic disaster to the entire Earth!"
"Okay, stop scaring me and the others. Take me to see your warship!" Yu Kai gestured for him to lead the way, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
"What do you want to do?" The heavenly general took two steps back, his eyes full of vigilance.
"You've already said they have a strong background, so it's okay for us to run away, right? Take us to familiarize ourselves with your warships!" Yu Kai urged, "Why are you standing there? Hurry up!" He pointed the spear at him again, scaring the heavenly general so much that he immediately led the way to the warship.
Although he was unwilling, he also knew that Yu Kai was very powerful, and this might be a good way to avoid bloody conflict between the two sides.
Soon, they arrived at the warship. Niuniu and Wu Xiaohu were both quite smart and quickly mastered how to use the warship.
