Tian Lin flew backward like a cannonball, rolling several times before coming to rest. He spat out blood, staring at Yu Kai in terror as he approached. "I—I was wrong. Please, let me go. I won't do it again! I really won't!" He kowtowed repeatedly, his appearance utterly miserable. His clothes were tattered and bloodstained, and his once ferocious face was now filled with fear and despair.
Yu Kai, holding a long sword, stepped forward, looked at Tian Lin without any sympathy, raised his long sword, and said, "Be a good person in your next life!"
"No, you can't do this. I am the 24th generation Heavenly Master of the Tianshi Dao. My ancestor is Zhang Daoling, the leader of the Four Heavenly Masters of Heaven. Since you are from the underworld, you should know my ancestor's reputation. He is the Great Emperor of Heaven! Now that the Tianshi Dao is in decline, I am his only successor. If you kill me, you will not escape his punishment! Let me go, and I will never be your enemy again!" Tian Lin kowtowed repeatedly, his forehead bleeding on the ground. "Please! Please!"
"Even if your ancestor is really the Great Emperor Gao Ming, so what? You've committed such a grave mistake, will he forgive you?" Yu Kai shouted, "You've committed crimes and murdered innocent people. Such sins are beyond the reach of justice!"
"No, you don't know. Our Tianshi Dao is an internal family inheritance. My ancestor is extremely protective of his descendants. If you kill me, he will never let it go. Even if he can't do it himself due to the rules of the Heavenly Court, he will try his best to make you pay a heavy price." Tian Lin shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes full of fear of death.
"Hmph! You think you can intimidate me by bringing up your ancestor? I, Yu Kai, only care about good and evil, right and wrong! You have committed so many evil things, you should be punished!" Yu Kai's expression was firm, the long sword in his hand flashing with a cold light, "Today, no one can save you!"
Tian Lin collapsed to the ground in despair, his eyes gradually becoming dull, and he was still muttering to himself: "It's over, everything is over..."
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" At that moment, a violent roar echoed from the sky, instantly drawing Yu Kai's attention. His eyes lit up as he gazed into outer space, only to see the barrier left by the alien mecha being bombarded by an unidentified object. The roars were deafening, threatening to rip the eardrums apart. Faintly, the roars of dragons and phoenixes could be heard, their passionate, high-pitched voices imbued with boundless power.
Tian Lin took this opportunity to turn into a streak of light and escaped into the distance. "Brother! Tian Lin ran away!" Niu Niu looked at the direction Tian Lin fled and shouted anxiously.
Yu Kai immediately averted his gaze. "You want to run!" He shouted angrily, and violently swung his sword out. Under the blessing of the law of wind, the sword whistled past like a flash of lightning, leaving only a shadow.
The longsword, carrying a fierce momentum, pierced Tian Lin's back. "Ah!" Tian Lin screamed, and he and the longsword plunged into the ground with a loud "boom!" Dust flew up, and a huge deep crater appeared on the ground. The surrounding earth and rocks collapsed and splashed.
Yu Kai and Niuniu followed up, only to find nothing in the deep pit except scattered straw and a slowly fading longsword. "Brother, where's Tian Lin?" Niuniu's eyes widened in disbelief.
Yu Kai searched the surroundings carefully, leaving no corner untouched, but still couldn't find any trace of Tian Lin. His face turned very ugly, and he seemed a little annoyed. "This must be a substitution technique. He's escaped again."
"Brother! What should we do?" Niu Niu bit her lips, clenched her fists tightly, and felt unwilling.
"Let's go back first!" Yu Kai looked at the barrier in the sky that was constantly bombarded, his brows furrowed into the shape of a "川" character, his eyes full of worry.
"What's wrong? Brother!" Niu Niu's heart instantly rose to her throat when she saw Yu Kai's serious expression, and she immediately asked.
"We might be in trouble. They must be from Heaven. Brother Xiaohu and I caused a big disturbance in the Underworld. The Underworld can't enter the mortal world without permission. They must have reported this to Heaven." Yu Kai said in a serious tone, "The Heavenly Court is coming with such force that it's probably difficult to deal with."
"Brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault that you got into trouble!" Niu Niu's eyes were red, her voice was tearful, and she felt a little guilty.
"What are you talking about? I'm your brother!" Yu Kai gently touched her head and comforted her, "No matter what, I will protect you."
"Let's go back and discuss it with Brother Xiaohu!"
"Oh! Okay." Niu Niu nodded obediently.
Yu Kai took Niuniu's hand and quickly flew towards the Nantianmen construction base. Along the way, both of them felt extremely heavy-hearted.
The two quickly returned to the Nantianmen construction base, where Wu Xiaohu was pacing anxiously at the door.
"Master, Niuniu, you are finally back!" Wu Xiaohu hurried to greet them.
"Brother Xiaohu, the situation is not good." Yu Kai said with a gloomy expression.
"Is it related to the barrier outside?" Wu Xiaohu's heart tightened.
Yu Kai briefly recounted what had happened, and Wu Xiaohu frowned after listening.
"What should we do now? The people in Heaven are not easy to deal with." Wu Xiaohu was worried.
Yu Kai pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "Don't worry. We need to make thorough preparations. First, let Elder Chao and the others know what's going on. Then, we can find a safe place to hide, wait for the right moment to go back with them, and do everything we can to find my mother."
At this moment, the barrier in the sky made a deafening sound, like a landslide, and then a shocking huge crack appeared, as if the sky was torn open with a hideous hole.
"Oh no, they are coming in!" Wu Xiaohu's face was full of worry and he shouted in panic, his voice full of fear and panic.
"Let's go to Shennongjia. That place is mysterious and maybe we can escape their pursuit!" Yu Kai said hurriedly as he took the lead and flew out.
A dazzling golden light shone through the cracks, and the entire barrier began to crumble violently, scattering into countless fragments. Immediately afterwards, massive warships emerged, resembling behemoths. Their forms were simple and majestic, their hulls engraved with mysterious runes and patterns, gleaming with dazzling light. Their prows were inlaid with massive gems, emitting powerful energy waves. Above the warships, a group of celestial soldiers and generals in golden armor stood respectfully, their postures erect and majestic. They descended towards Earth at lightning speed, stirring up gusts of wind.
As the distance gradually closed, they could see two remarkably handsome young men standing aboard one of the largest warships. Clad in silver armor, they shone dazzlingly in the sunlight, appearing incredibly imposing and heroic. Now, as they gazed upon the devastated and dilapidated Earth, their brows furrowed in deep thought, their expressions solemn.
They are Azure Dragon Spirit General Tu Yulang and White Tiger Star Lord Yin Wuji. Both are outstanding figures from the Third Generation of Immortals, leaders of the younger generation of the immortal world. This time, they are ordered to accompany the two heroes of the Thunder Division to Earth to investigate why the Asiatic mechas have penetrated deep into Earth's surface, while also apprehending two key criminals, Yu Kai and Wu Xiaohu. As the vanguard of their forces, they shoulder a crucial mission, demanding success and no failure.
