In the dim light of dawn, the Luoyao Mountains were shrouded in a faint golden glow, as if draping a mysterious veil over this ancient land. Yu Kai stood still, his eyes as sharp as cold stars, fixed intently on the two major camps ahead. His heart was filled with doubt, but on the surface he showed no fear, as if he had already seen through everything.
The warships of the Danxiao and Lingyun sects hovered in mid-air like two moving mountains, towering and majestic. A massive shadow enveloped the earth below, shrouding the entire world in an oppressive atmosphere. On the decks of the warships, densely packed Great Venerables wielded weapons, their murderous intent radiating as if ready to pounce at any moment.
Yu Kai bowed slightly, his voice calm and firm: "I wonder what brings you all here?"
"Yu Kai!" Tang Pingcheng's tone was gentle, as if trying to ease the situation. "The alchemy furnace on the girl's back is the most precious treasure of our Danxiao Sect, the Qiankun Juling Furnace. Please return it to me so I can take it back!"
Zhong Xitian snorted coldly and interrupted, "The Qiankun Soul Gathering Furnace is a sacred object of the Holy Ying Dynasty. I have come to retrieve it on the orders of His Majesty! Don't even think about taking it away!"
Tang Pingcheng sneered, his eyes brimming with disdain. "His Majesty has long ceased to care about state affairs. How can you possibly have His Majesty's will? You're clearly trying to take advantage of this opportunity for personal gain!"
The two men confronted each other with their momentum like two surging torrents, confronting each other as if a shocking war was about to break out.
Xuan'er hugged the Qiankun Soul Gathering Furnace tightly, hiding behind Yu Kai, her eyes filled with fear. Her small hands tightly grasped the corner of Yu Kai's clothes, and her body trembled slightly. Yu Kai sensed her fear and gently patted her shoulder, with a hint of comfort in his tone: "Don't worry, I'm here, they can't take it away!"
There was a hint of determination in his eyes: "You and Wasp run deep into the core area, I will come to find you!"
"There are so many of them? And they are so strong? Why don't we give the alchemy furnace to them?" Although Xuan'er was reluctant, she also didn't want Yu Kai to get hurt, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I can handle it! You follow Wasp now!" As Yu Kai spoke, he waved his hand lightly and removed the barrier on Wasp.
Instantly, the pressure from the Danxiao Sect and the Lingyun Sect surged like a tide, the overwhelming pressure causing Huang Feng to tremble. He stared at the massive warship not far away, his legs trembling, and his words stuttering: "Hero, this...this..."
"Take Xuan'er and fly deeper, I will come to find you!" Yu Kai turned his back to him and said in an unquestionable tone.
"Oh! Okay..." Huang Feng immediately turned around and said to Xuan'er, "Xuan'er, come up quickly, let's go."
Although Xuan'er was worried about Yu Kai, she could only leave with Huang Feng after seeing his determined look. She turned around and glanced at Yu Kai, her eyes full of worry.
"Ancestor, they are trying to escape! Catch them quickly!" Elder Fang no longer pretended to be dead. He crawled out from the mud where the saber-toothed boar monsters had stepped on and shouted loudly at Zhong Xitian.
Yu Kai's eyes flashed cold, and his aura erupted instantly. With a swipe of his left hand, a powerful force instantly struck Elder Fang. Elder Fang's body was instantly torn apart by the overwhelming force, blood splattering everywhere, and even his soul was instantly extinguished. He couldn't even utter a scream. Deathly silence fell around them, and everyone was stunned by this sudden change.
The wasp had already flown inward with Xuan'er, while Yu Kai, Zhong Xitian, and Tang Pingcheng were locked in a three-way standoff. Their combined auras, like two towering mountains, crushed directly towards Yu Kai. The air around them seemed to freeze, and the overwhelming pressure made the surrounding monsters tremble and retreat.
Tang Pingcheng and Zhong Xitian were both puzzled. "Who is this kid? And whose side is he on?" They were both stalling for time. Tang Pingcheng was waiting for the Four Emperors to send reinforcements, while Zhong Xitian was waiting for support from the Iron-Blooded War King, Nie Wuhen. He suspected that Tang Pingcheng would seize the Qiankun Soul Gathering Furnace and then rebel against the Shengying Dynasty!
Seeing Xuan'er take the Qiankun Spirit Gathering Furnace, the men on both sides immediately gave chase. Like a swarm of locusts, the Great Venerables from both sides flew out of the warships and pursued Xuan'er and the Hornet. Their figures streaked through the air, their speed exceedingly fast.
Yu Kai attempted to attack, but was simultaneously restrained by Tang Pingcheng and Zhong Xitian. He exerted his strength, knocking both men back. He then raised the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword and slashed at the pursuing Great Lords. He instantly mobilized the power of the pseudo-gods, and the powerful sword light spread out like a wave, carrying endless murderous intent, as if to rend the entire world apart.
Wherever the sword's light passed, space seemed to rip apart, emitting a hissing sound. The pursuing Great Venerables were shattered like paper, one by one, by the sword's sweep. Blood splattered everywhere, flesh and gore raining down, instantly dyeing the outskirts of the Falling Demon Mountains red. Blood showered the ground like a bloody rainstorm, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
The monsters that had previously threatened Yu Kai were now trembling, as if they had witnessed the most terrifying sight in the world. This sword was destined to leave an indelible shadow in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
Thunder Bear, who had come into contact with Yu Kai, gritted his teeth and exclaimed, "Fuck you, he...he never used his full strength!"
"Fortunately...fortunately we didn't take action!" The nine-tailed red fox also had a frightened look on its face, its eyes full of terror.
Many powerful demons gathered in the inner circle. Seeing the hornet carrying Xuan'er approach, they were about to intervene, but hesitated. This single strike killed nearly a third of the hornet's pursuers, while Yu Kai was approaching. Tang Pingcheng and Zhong Xitian, two peak-level Celestial Venerables, tried to stop them with their swords, but were unsuccessful.
Yu Kai was incredibly fast, constantly following behind the Great Venerables, harvesting their lives. He darted through the air like a streak of black lightning, taking lives with each swing of his sword. This terrified Tang Pingcheng and Zhong Xitian, as these were the foundation of their sect. They had never imagined that this young man, at the early stage of the Heavenly Venerable stage, could be so powerful, no less powerful than these two veteran Heavenly Venerables.
"Damn it! Who is this kid?" Tang Pingcheng gritted his teeth, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"We must stop him! Otherwise, the foundation of our sect will be destroyed in his hands!" Zhong Xitian also had a dark face and shouted loudly.
The two men attacked simultaneously, their powerful sword energy raining down upon Yu Kai like a violent storm, attempting to stop him. However, Yu Kai was much faster, gliding through the air as he effortlessly dodged each attack and continued to slash at the Great Venerables chasing Xuan'er.
Tang Pingcheng and Zhong Xitian exchanged a glance, neither holding back, unleashing a killing blow. Two massive swords, wielding immense power, lunged straight at Yu Kai. The blades flashed, seemingly ripping the entire world apart. At that moment, everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on this thrilling duel.
Yu Kai's eyes focused, and the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword instantly erupted with dazzling light. A powerful aura emanated from him, as if shattering the entire world. His figure traced a graceful arc through the air and instantly vanished. The next moment, he appeared behind Tang Pingcheng and Zhong Xitian, wielding the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword with endless murderous intent, slashing towards them.
