Zhong Kui's Heavenly Master Sword, brimming with unparalleled sword energy, slashed towards Yu Kai like a brilliant rainbow, carrying the force of thunder. Yu Kai instantly sensed the deadly threat behind him, as if locked in the grip of a venomous snake. He abruptly twisted sideways, his movements as swift as lightning, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow. The sharp sword energy grazed the edge of his clothes, severing them, sending wisps of it scattering through the air.
"Boy, just surrender obediently and you will suffer less!" Zhong Kui shouted angrily, his voice was like rumbling thunder, causing ripples in the surrounding ghost energy.
Yu Kai snorted coldly, his eyes determined and unyielding: "If you want me to surrender, forget it!"
At this moment, the psionic energy above grew increasingly dense, like thick ink, congealing into an impenetrable pressure barrier. Yu Kai's speed plummeted, as if he were mired in a quagmire. The Ghost King and Zhong Kui seized the opportunity to rapidly close in, attacking from both sides. Their overwhelming pressure made Yu Kai feel as if he were at the heart of a storm.
Veins bulged on Yu Kai's forehead as he poured all his mysterious spiritual energy into his hands, instantly enveloping them in a dazzling light. His eyes widened as he slashed downward with all his might, seemingly attempting to split the heavens and earth apart.
Seeing this, Zhong Kui's face suddenly changed, and he quickly drew his sword to block. "Bang!" A resounding sound, like a landslide, the powerful aftermath of the impact spread wildly. Zhong Kui's figure plummeted like a meteor, crashing into Fengdu City with a thud, creating a massive crater and sending dust and dust flying. His sword-grip hand trembled, and blood gushed from his knuckles, staining the hilt red.
The Ghost King dodged the sword's might, roaring "Kill!" and unleashing the Demon-Suppressing Bell with all his might. The bell rapidly grew in size in the wind, transforming into a massive bell in the blink of an eye, smashing down on Yu Kai with crushing force.
Seeing the bell approaching, Yu Kai didn't hesitate. He compressed the psionic energy gathered by his power system and poured it madly into his sword, causing it to shine brightly like the sun. He gritted his teeth and slashed at the bell with all his might. "Bang!" With a deafening roar, the bell was shattered and sent flying backward like a cannonball. The Ghost King flew in pursuit, only to see the Demon-Suppressing Bell covered in crisscrossing cracks, like shattered ice. The Ghost King's eyes widened in anger.
Yu Kai rushed up quickly, but found that the barrier was as solid as a wall of iron and steel. No matter how frantically he bombarded it, he could not break through the mysterious shield. He was so anxious that sweat rolled down his forehead, and his eyes were full of anxiety and unwillingness.
"Boy, this is the underworld's phantom energy shield, which prevents the internal energy from leaking out and being snooped by the outside world. How can we allow a young boy like you to break it!" The Ghost King and Zhong Kui followed closely, their words full of sarcasm and disdain.
Yu Kai moved quickly along the shield, eagerly searching for weak points and not missing any slight fluctuations.
"Young Master, fly to the restricted area behind Fengdu City. I heard that the top leaders of the restricted area have gone to Heaven to discuss supporting the Demon-Suppressing Pass! Perhaps Zhong Kui and the others dare not get involved." Wu Xiaohu's voice came urgently, trembling and uncertain.
"Okay!" Yu Kai didn't hesitate, gritted his teeth, turned around and rushed towards the penalty area.
"Boy, you dare to fly into the restricted area! Hahahaha!" The chasing Ghost King and Zhong Kui slowed down their pace, and the Ghost King laughed wildly.
Their actions gave Yu Kai a strong sense of foreboding. "Brother Xiaohu, what's going on?"
"I don't know either. I just heard that all the big shots there went to Heaven to discuss supporting the Demon-Suppressing Pass!" Xiaohu covered his wound, enduring the pain, his face flushed with anxiety.
"It doesn't matter. We have no choice now! Even if we die, we must fight for a way to survive!" Yu Kai tried his best to store spiritual power while flying, with all his muscles tensed and on high alert.
Just as he was about to enter the restricted area, a terrifying roar echoed, resonating through the abyss like the roar of thunder. Yu Kai immediately stopped and gripped his mechanical sword tightly, his knuckles turning white from the strain. He felt as if he were being stared at by an incredibly terrifying beast, its pressure nearly suffocating him. He had never encountered such a powerful being before, and the pressure was so intense that the opponent could obliterate him with a single thought.
The Ghost King and Zhong Kui quickly approached, their expressions instantly becoming respectful as they bowed deeply toward the restricted area. Zhong Kui then raised his head, stared at Yu Kai, and said coldly, "Although we dare not enter the restricted area, and the masters within have indeed gone to Heaven, our ancestor is still here!" He paused, a hint of gloating in his eyes.
"You actually want to enter the restricted area and offend Lord Ancestor. Lord Ancestor can turn you into ashes with just one glance! Come back with us and be punished!" The Ghost King's eyes were cold and he roared loudly.
Yu Kai nervously scanned the restricted area, keeping a high alert for Zhong Kui and the other two, his mind in a state of intense conflict. Just moments earlier, he'd felt a strong attraction for something above the restricted area, seemingly of great use. Finally, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and decided to take a gamble. He was going to die anyway, so he had to give it a try!
He quietly poured the mysterious spiritual power in his body into his wings, closely watching Zhong Kui's every move. Seeing Zhong Kui approach, his eyes widened instantly, and he flapped his wings violently, soaring into the sky in an instant, and disappeared in the shocked eyes of the other party.
"Roar! Roar!" The Grandmaster of the restricted area had thought he could intimidate Yu Kai with his own imposing presence, but he hadn't expected Yu Kai to dare approach him. This completely enraged the Grandmaster. Angrily, the Grandmaster flew out of the dojo palace, roaring to the heavens with a roar like rolling thunder, shaking the underworld violently.
A massive, majestic nine-headed lion flew out of the restricted area, its body covering the sky and the sun. Each head was ferocious and terrifying, its fangs sharp as knives. It pounced on Yu Kai at an extremely fast speed, stirring up a fierce wind, as if it would tear him apart in an instant.
As they neared the mysterious zone, a sense of danger suddenly surged. Yu Kai immediately covered his entire body with mysterious spiritual energy, attempting to strengthen his defenses. Just as he was about to swing his sword to block, he was struck back by a sharp claw mark.
His mechanical sword exploded with a bang, shattering into countless fragments. He flew backward like a cannonball, leaving a long trail in the air. The nine-headed lion quickly followed, lashing out with another claw. Its sharp claws instantly slashed through the mecha on his chest, shattering it. Blood gushed out, staining the shattered armor red. His body plummeted like a falling stone, the wind whistling in his ears.
His face was etched with anxiety. Even the mystical spiritual power, so proud of him, was now completely unable to withstand the fierce attack of the nine-headed lion. Before he could repair his mecha, the nine-headed lion pounced again with ferocious momentum. Yu Kai instantly mobilized all the mystical spiritual power within his body, frantically pouring it into his wings. Just as the ferocious maw was about to bite, his figure suddenly transformed into a brilliant stream of light, successfully dodging with unimaginable speed. Then, like an arrow from a bow, he rushed towards the area that deeply attracted him.
