THIS TEAM ORIGINALLY HAD SEVEN SIXTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN STAGE, BUT TWO OF THEM HAD BEEN CAPTURED BY YANG KAI, SO ONLY FIVE REMAINED.
THE LEADER OF THIS GROUP WAS A SIXTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN STAGE MASTER NAMED DENG CHI. HIS CULTIVATION WAS QUITE HIGH AND HIS SMALL UNIVERSE'S FOUNDATION WAS QUITE DEEP.
WHEN THE FIVE OF THEM RELEASED THEIR DIVINE ABILITIES AND SECRET TECHNIQUES, THEY QUICKLY RETREATED, HOPING TO ESCAPE FROM YANG KAI’S PURSUIT. HOWEVER, YANG KAI’S FIGURE QUICKLY RUSHED OUT FROM THE ENCIRCLEMENT OF THESE DIVINE ABILITIES AND SECRET TECHNIQUES.
HIS FIGURE FLICKERED AS HE CHARGED TOWARDS THE GROUP OF FIVE.
THE FIVE OF THEM WERE SHOCKED.
DENG CHI GRIT HIS TEETH AND SHOUTED, “JUNIOR BROTHERS, RUN! I’LL STOP HIM!”
SAYING SO, HE TURNED AROUND AND CHARGED TOWARDS YANG KAI WITHOUT HESITATION. HE KNEW THAT WITH HIS STRENGTH, HE COULD NOT STOP YANG KAI. SO MANY FELLOW DISCIPLES WITH HIGHER CULTIVATION THAN HIS HAD ALREADY BEEN BEATEN BY YANG KAI, SO HOW COULD HE BE AN EXCEPTION?
HOWEVER, HE DIDN’T REALLY EXPECT TO STOP YANG KAI OR DEFEAT HIM, HE JUST WANTED TO BUY TIME FOR HIS TEAM.
ONLY THEN WOULD THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO ESCAPE AND NOT BE COMPLETELY WIPED OUT.
HIS DECISIVENESS MOVED THE OTHER FOUR, ONE OF THEM SHOUTING IN GRIEF AND INDIGNATION, “SENIOR BROTHER DENG!”
“GO!” DENG CHI SHOUTED, “DON’T MAKE MY SACRIFICE MEANINGLESS!”
THE PERSON WHO HAD SHOUTED WANTED TO HELP DENG CHI, BUT AFTER HEARING HIS WORDS, HE COULD ONLY TURN HIS HEAD AND QUICKLY FOLLOW THE OTHER THREE.
DENG CHI STOOD PROUDLY IN THE AIR AND STRETCHED OUT HIS HAND, SUMMONING A LONG SPEAR IN HIS HAND. HE STARED AT YANG KAI WITH A SOLEMN EXPRESSION AND GRINNED, “THIS MOUNTAIN WAS OPENED BY ME, THIS TREE WAS PLANTED BY ME, IF YOU WANT TO… WAIT, I HAVEN’T FINISHED YET… I’LL FIGHT YOU TO THE DEATH!”
BOOM BOOM BOOM…
WITH EACH COLLISION OF WORLD FORCE, DENG CHI FELT HIS BLOOD AND QI ROIL, WHILE HIS SMALL UNIVERSE FELT EVEN MORE RESTLESS.
AT THE SIXTH ORDER, HE HAD IMMERSED HIMSELF IN CULTIVATION FOR MANY YEARS, AND HIS SMALL UNIVERSE'S FOUNDATION WAS EXTREMELY POWERFUL. IN THE ENTIRETY OF LANG YA, THERE WERE NOT MANY SIXTH ORDER CULTIVATORS WHO COULD SURPASS HIM.
PRIOR TO THIS, HE HAD LISTENED TO THE MESSAGES IN HIS IDENTITY PLATE. ONE BY ONE, HIS FELLOW DISCIPLES HAD BEEN CAPTURED, DEFEATED, AND ELIMINATED BY YANG KAI. FACING THIS YANG KAI FELLOW, THE SECT’S SIXTH ORDER SEEMED LIKE A BUNCH OF SHEEP WAITING TO BE SLAUGHTERED, UNABLE TO RESIST AT ALL.
HE HAD ALWAYS WONDERED, IS THIS YANG KAI SO POWERFUL? EVEN IF THEY WERE BOTH SIXTH ORDER, NO MATTER HOW STRONG HE WAS, THERE SHOULD BE A LIMIT, RIGHT?
HE HAD ALSO CONSIDERED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF HE RAN INTO YANG KAI. THERE WAS NO WAY HE WOULD BE ABLE TO ESCAPE. YANG KAI WAS PROFICIENT IN THE SPACE LAWS AND COULD IGNORE THE SPACE BARRIER, SO HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY ESCAPE? THIS POINT HAD ALREADY BEEN PROVEN BY THE HUNDREDS OF DISCIPLES WHO HAD BEEN ELIMINATED.
SINCE HE COULDN’T ESCAPE, HE COULD ONLY FIGHT! PERHAPS HE WASN’T YANG KAI’S OPPONENT, BUT RISKING HIS LIFE WOULD STILL CAUSE HIM SOME TROUBLE.
HE THOUGHT SO…
HOWEVER, NOW THAT HE WAS FACING YANG KAI, HE REALIZED HE HAD BEEN TOO NAIVE.
THIS TERRIFYING STRENGTH GAVE HIM THE ILLUSION THAT HE WAS FACING A SEVENTH ORDER OPPONENT, BUT THE FLUCTUATIONS OF THIS OPPONENT’S STRENGTH WERE UNDOUBTEDLY ONLY AT THE SIXTH ORDER!
A SIXTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN STAGE WAS ACTUALLY SO POWERFUL?
EVEN AFTER BEING BEATEN TO THE GROUND BY YANG KAI, DENG CHI STILL COULDN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE COULDN’T HELP WONDERING IF SOMETHING HAD HAPPENED TO HIS HARD WORK IN CULTIVATION.
NO WONDER SO MANY FELLOW DISCIPLES WHO WERE STRONGER THAN HIM HAD BEEN DEFEATED BY YANG KAI, NO WONDER EVEN ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG WAS NOT HIS OPPONENT.
WITH SUCH STRENGTH, WHO AMONG THE SIXTH ORDER COULD MATCH HIM?
“SENIOR BROTHER…” YANG KAI SQUATTED DOWN IN FRONT OF HIM, “CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?”
DENG CHI COUGHED UP BLOOD AS HE STARED AT YANG KAI, “WHAT IS IT?”
THE TWO OF THEM HAD JUST BEEN ENGAGED IN A FIERCE BATTLE, BUT NOW THEY WERE CALMLY TALKING TO EACH OTHER, ESPECIALLY DENG CHI, WHO WAS STILL VOMITING BLOOD. THIS SCENE WAS QUITE STRANGE.
IT HAD TO BE SAID THAT LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN STAGE WAS INDEED GOOD. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD BEEN DEFEATED AND INJURED BY YANG KAI, THEY DIDN’T HAVE MUCH RESENTMENT, MOST OF THEM ONLY ADMIRED YANG KAI’S STRENGTH.
SINCE THEIR STRENGTH WAS INFERIOR TO OTHERS, THERE WAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT. ALTHOUGH THEIR GROWTH WAS SOMEWHAT CROOKED, THEIR TEMPERAMENT WAS STILL QUITE GOOD. THIS FAILURE WOULD ONLY SERVE AS MOTIVATION FOR THEM TO CONTINUE WORKING HARD. SOONER OR LATER, THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO REGAIN THEIR DIGNITY.
“I SAW MANY SENIOR BROTHERS HEADING IN THE SAME DIRECTION, WHAT ARE THEY DOING?” YANG KAI ASKED AS HE TOOK OUT A HEALING PILL AND HANDED IT TO DENG CHI.
DENG CHI GLANCED AT IT AND STUFFED IT INTO HIS MOUTH BEFORE SWALLOWING IT AND SHAKING HIS HEAD, “I CAN’T SAY, I CAN’T SAY!”
ALTHOUGH HE HAD BEEN DEFEATED BY YANG KAI AND COULD BE CONSIDERED TO HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED, HE DIDN’T WANT TO REVEAL HIS ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG’S PLAN.
HE ALSO WANTED TO SEE YANG KAI BEING SURROUNDED AND CAPTURED BY HIS FELLOW DISCIPLES, AND THEN HAVE NO WAY OUT! ONLY THEN COULD HE TAKE REVENGE.
AS HE SPOKE, HE TOOK OUT A PILE OF MATERIALS WORTH A SIXTH GRADE RESOURCE AND HANDED THEM TO YANG KAI.
FROM BEGINNING TO END, THE TWO OF THEM DIDN’T TALK ABOUT ANY HEALING PILL OR MATERIALS. THIS WAS ALSO THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD MET, BUT IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS A TACIT UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THEM.
ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG HAD SENT A MESSAGE TO THEM SAYING THAT IF YANG KAI REALLY DEFEATED THEM, THEY SHOULD JUST SPEND MONEY TO RESOLVE THE DISASTER AND STOP STRUGGLING.
YANG KAI SAID AMIABLY, “SENIOR BROTHER, IF YOU CAN TELL ME, HOW ABOUT A TWENTY PERCENT DISCOUNT FOR THE HEALING PILL?”
DENG CHI TWISTED HIS FACE, “HOW CAN THIS DENG BE SOMEONE WHO SELLS HIS FRIENDS FOR GLORY? DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING ANY INFORMATION FROM ME.”
YANG KAI NODDED, “SENIOR BROTHER’S CHARACTER IS TRULY NOBLE, JUNIOR BROTHER ADMIRES HIM GREATLY!”
DENG CHI WANTED TO GRIN, BUT HIS SMILE WAS FORCED, “I AM A LANG YA DISCIPLE!”
AS HE LAUGHED, DENG CHI BEGAN TO CRY. LOOKING BEHIND YANG KAI, HE WENT CRAZY, “WHY DID YOU COME BACK? AHHHH, WHY DID YOU COME BACK!”
IT WAS THE FOUR PEOPLE FROM HIS TEAM WHO HAD FLED, BUT NOW THEY HAD RETURNED!
THE FOUR OF THEM ALL WORE HELPLESS EXPRESSIONS, AND THE JUNIOR BROTHER WHO HAD WANTED TO TURN AROUND AND HELP DENG CHI EARLIER SAID DEJECTEDLY, “WE DON’T WANT TO COME BACK, SENIOR BROTHER DENG, BUT THE SECT MASTER ORDERED US TO FORM A SMALL TEAM AND BULLY THE WEAK WITH OUR NUMBERS. IF WE WERE TO GATHER TOGETHER AND SET UP A GREAT ARRAY IN ADVANCE, EVEN IF WE WIN, WE WON’T BE ABLE TO SHOW HIM ANY FACE. WE’RE SHAMELESS, BUT HE STILL WANTS FACE, SO HE ORDERED US TO RETURN TO OUR ORIGINAL POSITIONS AND NOT DO SUCH NONSENSE AGAIN. HE WANTS US TO USE OUR STRENGTH TO CAPTURE JUNIOR BROTHER YANG!”
DENG CHI WAS STUNNED, “SECT MASTER’S ORDER?”
HE QUICKLY CHECKED HIS IDENTITY TOKEN. WHEN HE WAS TALKING TO YANG KAI JUST NOW, THERE WAS INDEED A MESSAGE FROM THE TOKEN, BUT HE DIDN’T HAVE TIME TO CHECK IT. NOW THAT HE LOOKED AT IT, IT WAS INDEED TRUE!
DENG CHI LOOKED UP AT YANG KAI SPEECHLESSLY, THINKING, 'OUR SECT MASTER LANG YA IS YOUR FATHER, RIGHT? WHY IS HE SO BIASED TOWARDS YOU!'
IT WASN’T EASY FOR ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG TO LAY DOWN A GREAT ARRAY, BUT NOW HE HAD COME UP WITH SUCH A FOOLPROOF PLAN. SEEING THAT THE LIGHT OF VICTORY WAS ABOUT TO ARRIVE, THE SECT MASTER ISSUED AN ORDER AND THE LIGHT WAS INSTANTLY COVERED BY A THICK HAZE!
RELYING ON THEIR OWN STRENGTH TO CAPTURE YANG KAI… IF THEIR STRENGTH WAS USEFUL, ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG WOULDN’T HAVE ACTED LIKE THIS!
HOWEVER, DENG CHI HAD TO ADMIT THAT THE SECT MASTER WAS RIGHT. SO MANY OF LANG YA’S SIXTH ORDER MASTERS HAD BEEN ELIMINATED BY YANG KAI, SO IF THE REST OF THEM COULDN’T OPENLY WIN THIS ROUND, THIS TRIAL WOULD BE MEANINGLESS.
RELYING ON THE REMAINING SIXTH ORDER WITH THE HELP OF A SPIRIT ARRAY TO DEFEAT ONE PERSON WAS INDEED MEANINGLESS.
“YOUR INTENTIONS ARE SO SINISTER!” YANG KAI SUDDENLY SAID.
ORIGINALLY, HE DIDN’T KNOW WHY SO MANY SIXTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN STAGE CULTIVATORS HAD GATHERED IN ONE DIRECTION, ALTHOUGH HE HAD SOME GUESSES, HE WASN’T CERTAIN.
AFTER LISTENING TO DENG CHI AND THE OTHER MAN’S CONVERSATION, HOW COULD HE NOT UNDERSTAND?
OBVIOUSLY, SOMEONE HAD SET UP A HEAVEN SEALING EARTH LOCKING ARRAY SOMEWHERE AND GATHERED THE REMAINING LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN IN ONE PLACE. IF HE WANTED TO REAP SOME BENEFITS, HE WOULD HAVE TO WALK RIGHT INTO THE TRAP. AT THAT TIME, HE WOULD NOT HAVE HIS SPACE LAW AS RELIANCE, SO WHAT IF HE WAS STRONG?
DENG CHI SMILED AWKWARDLY, “I HAD NO CHOICE…”
“SENIOR LI IS TRULY WISE AND RIGHTEOUS!” YANG KAI CUPPED HIS HANDS TOWARDS THE DIRECTION OF THE SPIRIT PROVINCE, A LOOK OF FLATTERY ON HIS FACE.
DENG CHI TOOK THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SIGNAL HIS FOUR FELLOW DISCIPLES!
IN THE NEXT INSTANT, THE WORLD STRENGTH FLUCTUATED WILDLY AS THE FOUR OF THEM USED THEIR VARIOUS ARTIFACTS TO CONCEAL THEMSELVES AND RUSHED TOWARDS YANG KAI!
NOW THAT THEY HAD ENCOUNTERED EACH OTHER ON THIS NARROW ROAD, THEY COULD ONLY FIGHT TO THE DEATH!
AS THE LIGHT FADED AND THE ENERGY FLUCTUATIONS DISSIPATED, EVERYONE LOOKED OVER AND SAW THAT YANG KAI HAD DISAPPEARED. NO ONE KNEW WHEN HE HAD DISAPPEARED.
“JUNIOR BROTHER DING HAS BEEN CAPTURED!” SOMEONE CRIED OUT.
THE OTHER TWO LOOKED AROUND AND SAW NO TRACE OF JUNIOR BROTHER DING. ORIGINALLY, THERE WERE ONLY FOUR OF THEM LEFT, BUT NOW THERE WERE ONLY THREE.
DENG CHI SIGHED, “JUNIOR BROTHER DING IS OUT!”
BEING CAPTURED BY YANG KAI DIDN’T HAVE ANY GOOD ENDINGS. IT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN BEING BEATEN UP AND FORCED TO BUY A HEALING PILL BEFORE LOSING THE QUALIFICATIONS TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRIAL.
ALMOST EVERYONE WAS THE SAME, EVEN THE DELICATE SENIOR SISTERS AND JUNIOR SISTERS.
WHEN DENG CHI AND THE OTHERS HEARD THAT JUNIOR SISTER GU LING’ER HAD BEEN INJURED BY YANG KAI, THEY COULDN’T BELIEVE THEIR EARS. WAS THIS YANG KAI EVEN A MAN? HE EVEN DARED TO BEAT UP A WOMAN LIKE JUNIOR SISTER GU, NOT SHOWING THE SLIGHTEST BIT OF MERCY.
BEFORE GU LING’ER WAS INJURED BY YANG KAI, MANY OF HER SENIOR SISTERS AND JUNIOR SISTERS HAD A GOOD MENTALITY. THEY FELT THAT AS A WOMAN, THEY HAD SOME KIND OF ADVANTAGE, SO EVEN IF THEY FELL INTO YANG KAI’S HANDS, THEY WOULDN’T SUFFER TOO MUCH. AT WORST, THEY WOULD JUST LOSE THEIR WEALTH.
HOWEVER, AFTER THE INCIDENT WITH GU LING’ER, HER SENIOR SISTERS AND JUNIOR SISTERS COULDN’T REMAIN CALM ANY LONGER. IF THEIR BEAUTIFUL FACES WERE TO BE PUNCHED BY YANG KAI, HOW COULD THEY FACE ANYONE IN THE FUTURE?
HOWEVER, WHAT MADE THEM FEEL FORTUNATE WAS THAT ALTHOUGH YANG KAI TREATED BOTH MEN AND WOMEN EQUALLY, AND HIS ATTACKS WEREN’T LIGHT, WHEN FACING WOMEN, HE DIDN’T ATTACK THEM IN THE FACE, SO UNTIL NOW, NONE OF THEIR SENIOR SISTERS OR JUNIOR SISTERS HAD BEEN INJURED IN THE FACE. THIS WAS ALSO A BLESSING IN DISGUISE.
BUT AT THIS MOMENT, DENG CHI AND THE OTHERS WERE PUZZLED.
THE OLDER OF THE THREE WHO HAD YET TO BE ELIMINATED SAID, “DIDN’T THEY SAY THAT YANG KAI COULD EASILY FIGHT ONE AGAINST THREE, ONE AGAINST FOUR? WHY IS HE RUNNING?”
