IN LESS THAN HALF A CUP OF TEA TIME, TWO OF THE FIVE-MAN TEAM HAD BEEN CAPTURED, LEAVING ONLY THE THREE OF THEM!
THIS KIND OF OPENING WAS SOMETHING THEY HAD NEVER EXPECTED. THEY HAD THOUGHT THAT BY SETTING UP A GREAT ARRAY IN ADVANCE, SEALING THE HEAVENS AND LOCKING DOWN THE EARTH, YANG KAI WOULD NO LONGER BE ABLE TO TELEPORT, ALLOWING THEM TO RUSH FORWARD AND STRIKE A DECISIVE BLOW, BUT WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT YANG KAI WOULD BE SO FIERCE!
YUE MANG’S EXPRESSION BECAME SOLEMN AS HE SAID, “JUNIOR BROTHERS, THAT YANG KAI WILL COME AGAIN. RIGHT NOW, WE ONLY HAVE THREE PEOPLE LEFT, BUT WE STILL HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT. IF HE APPEARS AGAIN, NO MATTER WHAT, WE MUST NOT WITHDRAW FROM THE FLOWERLESS SPIRIT PROVINCE!”
THE TWO MEN NODDED HEAVILY, “ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER CAN REST ASSURED!”
AS SOON AS THE TWO OF THEM FINISHED RESPONDING, THEY FELT THE FLUCTUATIONS OF SPACE FORCE, AND YANG KAI APPEARED ONCE AGAIN! HIS FIGURE FLICKERED AS HE ARRIVED IN FRONT OF YUE MANG AND THE OTHERS IN A FEW STEPS.
YUE MANG ASKED SOLEMNLY, “HOW ARE JUNIOR BROTHER FENG AND JUNIOR BROTHER YUN?”
YANG KAI SMILED, “THEY’RE FINE, BUT SHOULDN’T YOU BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT YOURSELF?”
YUE MANG TOOK A DEEP BREATH AND DREW OUT A LONG SWORD, POINTING IT TOWARDS YANG KAI, “THIS TIME, I WON’T LET YOU SUCCEED!”
“THAT… WILL DEPEND ON WHETHER YOU HAVE THE ABILITY!”
YANG KAI’S EYES NARROWED SLIGHTLY AS HIS FIGURE SHOT OUT LIKE AN ARROW TOWARDS THE THREE PEOPLE. A TSUNAMI-LIKE WORLD FORCE BURST FORTH, CREATING A HUGE SHOCKWAVE THAT WAS VISIBLE TO THE NAKED EYE.
YUE MANG AND THE OTHER TWO ROARED AS THEY CIRCULATED THEIR SMALL UNVIERSE'S POWER TO DEFEND THEMSELVES.
THEY COULDN’T BLOCK IT!
THREE FIGURES WERE SENT FLYING IN THREE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS!
WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY, YUE MANG MANAGED TO STABILIZE HIMSELF AND WHEN HE LOOKED OVER, HE SAW THAT YANG KAI HAD ALREADY LOCKED ONTO ONE OF HIS TWO JUNIOR BROTHERS AND WAS BOMBARDING HIM!
THE JUNIOR BROTHER’S FIGURE RETREATED STEP BY STEP, JUST LIKE WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO JUNIOR BROTHER FENG!
YUE MANG SHOUTED, “JUNIOR BROTHER PENG, HOLD ON! I’LL HELP YOU!” HIS FIGURE FLICKERED AS HE CHASED AFTER YANG KAI.
AT THIS MOMENT, JUNIOR BROTHER PENG’S MOUTH WAS FILLED WITH BITTERNESS. WHEN HE SAW YANG KAI EASILY FORCE JUNIOR BROTHER FENG OUT OF THE FLOWERLESS SPIRIT PROVINCE, HE HAD THOUGHT THAT JUNIOR BROTHER FENG HAD BEEN TOO CARELESS, BUT NOW THAT HE WAS FACING YANG KAI DIRECTLY, HE REALIZED THAT IT WASN’T JUNIOR BROTHER FENG BEING CARELESS, BUT THE DIFFERENCE IN STRENGTH BETWEEN THEM WAS TOO GREAT!
CARRYING AN ASTONISHING MOMENTUM, YANG KAI CAME CRASHING DOWN FROM THE FRONT. NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIED TO RESIST, HE COULDN’T RESIST. EVERY TIME THE WORLD FORCE COLLIDED, HE FELT LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO BE TOPPLED.
UNDER SUCH A VIOLENT ATTACK, EVEN IF HE DIDN’T WANT TO RETREAT, HE HAD TO!
HE COULD CLEARLY SEE SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG’S FIGURE TRANSFORMING INTO A STREAM OF LIGHT AS HE CHASED AFTER YANG KAI, BUT IT WAS OBVIOUSLY TOO LATE. UNDER YANG KAI’S RELENTLESS PURSUIT, HE WAS LIKE A PIECE OF DUCKWEED CAUGHT IN A RAGING CURRENT, QUICKLY BEING FORCED OUT OF FLOWERLESS SPIRIT PROVINCE!
IT’S OVER! JUNIOR BROTHER PENG’S HEART SKIPPED A BEAT AS HE WATCHED YANG KAI’S HAND APPROACH, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO RESIST.
THE COLLISION WITH YANG KAI JUST NOW HAD CAUSED HIS SMALL UNIVERSE TO TREMBLE VIOLENTLY AND HIS STRENGTH TO BECOME UNSTABLE!
IN THE NEXT MOMENT, EVERYONE SAW YANG KAI GRAB JUNIOR BROTHER PENG’S NECK AND DRAG HIM AWAY LIKE A LITTLE CHICK.
YUE MANG AND THE OTHER JUNIOR BROTHER STOOD AT THE EDGE OF FLOWERLESS SPIRIT PROVINCE, WATCHING HELPLESSLY AS THIS SCENE UNFOLDED BEFORE THEIR EYES.
THE LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN MASTERS WHO HAD BEEN COMMUNICATING WITH THEIR DIVINE SENSES ALL FELL SILENT.
THEY HAD ORIGINALLY THOUGHT THAT THE FINAL VICTOR OF THIS BATTLE WOULD BE UNKNOWN, BUT NOW IT SEEMED THAT LANG YA’S SIDE WAS DOOMED.
THIS RESULT WAS SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO ACCEPT. YANG KAI HAD SINGLE-HANDEDLY DEFEATED ALL OF LANG YA’S SIXTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN.
“JUNIOR BROTHER DAI!” YUE MANG TOOK A DEEP BREATH, “ALTHOUGH THERE ARE ONLY THE TWO OF US LEFT NOW, WE STILL HAVE THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT. YANG KAI WILL COME AGAIN, DON’T BE CARELESS!”
JUNIOR BROTHER DAI WAS EXTREMELY DEPRESSED, “SENIOR BROTHER, YOU SAID THE SAME THING BEFORE.”
THEN, JUNIOR BROTHER PENG WAS CAPTURED…
THE THREE OF THEM WERE NO MATCH FOR YANG KAI, AND NOW THERE WERE ONLY TWO LEFT, WHAT ELSE COULD THEY DO? IT WASN’T THAT JUNIOR BROTHER DAI’S TEMPERAMENT WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH, BUT FACING AN OPPONENT LIKE YANG KAI, HE SIMPLY COULDN’T BE STRONG ENOUGH!
YUE MANG SHOUTED IN A LOW VOICE, “JUNIOR BROTHER DAI, THE TWO OF US ARE NOW TIED TO LANG YA’S HONOR, YOU MUST PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!”
JUNIOR BROTHER DAI’S EYES SUDDENLY FILLED WITH FIGHTING SPIRIT AS HE NODDED, “I UNDERSTAND, SENIOR BROTHER!”
AFTER HALF AN INCENSE STICK OF TIME…
YUE MANG STARED BLANKLY INTO THE SKY, BUT THERE WAS NO ONE BESIDE HIM.
JUNIOR BROTHER FENG WAS CAPTURED, JUNIOR BROTHER YUN WAS CAPTURED, JUNIOR BROTHER PENG WAS CAPTURED, AND NOW EVEN JUNIOR BROTHER DAI WAS CAPTURED…
HOW LONELY!
BUT SO WHAT? EVEN IF HE HAD TO FIGHT ALONE, HE WOULDN’T BE DISCOURAGED! WITH SO MANY FELLOW DISCIPLES WATCHING, AS THE ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER, HE HAD TO SET AN EXAMPLE.
YUE MANG’S AURA SUDDENLY SKYROCKETED. IN THE FLOWERLESS SPIRIT PROVINCE, THE WORLD STRENGTH SURGED TOWARDS YUE MANG.
BEHIND YUE MANG, THE PHANTOM OF A UNIVERSE WORLD SUDDENLY APPEARED. THIS UNIVERSE WORLD WAS EXTREMELY DISTORTED AND CONSTANTLY CHANGING. AS YUE MANG’S AURA ROSE, THE ILLUSORY UNIVERSE WORLD ACTUALLY SHOWED SIGNS OF SOLIDIFYING.
“THIS IS…” SOMEONE IN THE CROWD EXCLAIMED, “WHAT HAPPENED TO ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER?”
“ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER IS ABOUT TO BREAK THROUGH TO THE SEVENTH ORDER. LOOK AT THE SMALL UNIVERSE, IT'S SHOWING SIGNS OF SOLIDIFYING!”
“HAHAHAHA! THAT YANG GUY IS FINISHED. NO MATTER HOW STRONG HE IS, HOW CAN HE BE A SEVENTH ORDER OPPONENT?”
“IT’S NOT SO SIMPLE TO BREAK THROUGH TO THE SEVENTH ORDER. RIGHT NOW, ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER SHOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO SENSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK THROUGH AND SHOW SIGNS OF BREAKING THROUGH. HE NEEDS TO GO INTO SECLUSION AND WAIT UNTIL THE SMALL UNIVERSE IS COMPLETELY SOLIDIFIED BEFORE HE CAN TRULY BREAK THROUGH!” LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN EXPLAINED.
“EVEN SO, ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER NOW HAS SOME SEVENTH ORDER FOUNDATION, SO THE STRENGTH HE CAN DISPLAY IS DEFINITELY ABOVE THE SIXTH ORDER. ALTHOUGH YANG KAI IS POWERFUL, HE MAY NOT BE ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER’S OPPONENT.”
“YES, IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH STRENGTH ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER CAN DISPLAY NOW.”
“THE SECT MASTER IS HERE!” SOMEONE SUDDENLY SHOUTED.
ADVANCING FROM A SIXTH ORDER TO SEVENTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN WAS NO SMALL MATTER, ESPECIALLY FOR A CHARACTER LIKE YUE MANG. MOREOVER, LI YUAN WANG WAS CONSTANTLY PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS TRIAL, SO HE NATURALLY KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING HERE.
AS LI YUAN WANG’S FIGURE APPEARED, THE SEVERAL HUNDRED SIXTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN ALL BOWED, “GREETINGS SECT MASTER, VICE SECT MASTER!”
LI YUAN WANG DIDN’T COME ALONE, GAO TING ALSO FOLLOWED HIM.
NODDING SLIGHTLY, LI YUAN WANG TURNED TO LOOK AT YUE MANG.
SENSING LI YUAN WANG’S GAZE, YUE MANG LOOKED UP AND CUPPED HIS FISTS, “DISCIPLE GREETS SECT MASTER, VICE SECT MASTER!”
LI YUAN WANG ASKED WITH CONCERN, “HOW CONFIDENT ARE YOU?”
ENLIGHTENMENT OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK THROUGH MIGHT NOT NECESSARILY BE SUCCESSFUL, AND THERE MIGHT BE SOME KIND OF ACCIDENT DURING HIS RETREAT.
THE SMALL UNIVERSE TRANSFORMATION WAS A THRESHOLD. ONLY BY CROSSING THIS THRESHOLD WOULD ONE BE ABLE TO ADVANCE FROM THE SIXTH ORDER TO SEVENTH ORDER.
THIS TRIAL HAD STUMPED COUNTLESS OPEN HEAVEN STAGE CULTIVATORS.
YUE MANG REPLIED, “DISCIPLE HAS CONFIDENCE IN HIMSELF!”
“GOOD!” LI YUAN WANG NODDED, “BUT BEFORE THAT, LET’S END THIS TRIAL FIRST.”
YUE MANG NODDED AND SAID SOLEMNLY, “I WILL NOT DISAPPOINT SECT MASTER!”
TURNING HIS HEAD, HE LOOKED TOWARDS A CERTAIN SPOT IN THE CROWD AND POINTED HIS LONG SWORD TOWARDS YANG KAI, “JUNIOR BROTHER YANG, SENIOR BROTHER IS IN A HURRY TO GO INTO SECLUSION, LET’S FINISH THIS QUICKLY.”
IN THAT DIRECTION, YANG KAI HAD APPEARED AT SOME POINT, THE MANY OPEN HEAVEN STAGE CULTIVATORS WHO WERE WATCHING HAD ALL FOCUSED THEIR ATTENTION ON YUE MANG, COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF HIS PRESENCE.
UNTIL NOW.
ON THE OTHER HAND, YUE MANG, WHO HAD COMPREHENDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK THROUGH, COULD NO LONGER BE JUDGED SIMPLY BY HIS STRENGTH AT THE SIXTH ORDER, WHICH WAS ABOVE THE SIXTH ORDER AND BELOW THE SEVENTH ORDER AT THE MOMENT.
SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG’S WORDS AND DEMEANOR WERE ALL FILLED WITH GREAT CONFIDENCE. THIS SELF-CONFIDENCE INFECTED THE SPECTATING LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN, CAUSING THEM TO BE EXTREMELY EXCITED.
YANG KAI SUDDENLY TURNED TO LOOK AT LI YUAN WANG, “SECT MASTER, WILL SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG’S CONDITION BE AFFECTED IF HE IS INJURED?”
LI YUAN WANG HESITATED FOR A MOMENT, “DON’T BE TOO HARSH!”
MANY DISCIPLES’ EXPRESSIONS CHANGED.
WHY DID THE SECT MASTER’S WORDS HAVE SUCH A HIDDEN MEANING?
BEFORE THEY COULD FIGURE IT OUT, YANG KAI GRINNED AND SAID, “SINCE SENIOR BROTHER IS IN A HURRY, LET’S DO AS SENIOR BROTHER WISHES!”
HIS FIGURE FLICKERED AS HE RUSHED TOWARDS YUE MANG.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER, ALL OF LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN SAW AN INCREDIBLE SCENE.
ELDEST SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG, WHO HAS THE STRENGTH OF ABOVE SIXTH ORDER, WAS JUST LIKE HIS FELLOW DISCIPLES FROM BEFORE, UNABLE TO EVEN BREATHE UNDER YANG KAI’S TORRENTIAL ATTACKS, UNABLE TO EVEN FIGHT BACK.
YUE MANG ALSO LOOKED LIKE HE HAD SEEN A GHOST!
HE KNEW THAT THERE WAS A GAP BETWEEN HIS STRENGTH AND YANG KAI’S. AFTER ALL, HE HAD BEEN DEFEATED ONCE BEFORE, BUT NOW HE WAS DIFFERENT.
HE HAD ALREADY COMPREHENDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO BREAK THROUGH TO THE SEVENTH ORDER AND HIS STRENGTH HAD REACHED AN UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL.
BUT IT WAS STILL THE SAME!
IT WAS ONLY AT THIS MOMENT THAT YUE MANG REALIZED THAT HE HAD BEEN UNDERESTIMATING YANG KAI. HIS STRENGTH AS A SIXTH ORDER WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT COULD BE MEASURED WITH COMMON SENSE.
THERE WAS ALWAYS A HIGHER MOUNTAIN!
UNDER EVERYONE’S WATCHFUL EYES, YANG KAI’S FIGURE CONTINUED TO CLOSE IN, FORCING YUE MANG TO RETREAT.
THE MOMENT THE TWO OF THEM LEFT FLOWERLESS SPIRIT PROVINCE, THEY BOTH DISAPPEARED.
IN THE VOID, MANY PLACES WHERE LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN HAD GATHERED WERE DEAD SILENT!
SUCH AN OUTCOME WAS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT.
IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS A WORLD FORCE FLUCTUATION COMING FROM SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY, BUT IT QUICKLY DISAPPEARED.
A SHORT WHILE LATER, FROM THAT DIRECTION, YUE MANG FLEW BACK WITH A BRUISED FACE AND CUPPED HIS FISTS, “SECT MASTER, DISCIPLE WILL GO INTO SECLUSION!”
LI YUAN WANG NODDED, “GO, DON’T BE IMPATIENT, JUST LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE.”
“YES!” YUE MANG NODDED.
NUMEROUS LANG YA OPEN HEAVEN WERE STUNNED. THE SITUATION NOW WAS OBVIOUS. SENIOR BROTHER YUE MANG HAD BEEN DEFEATED, AND THE VOID LAND'S LORD, YANG KAI, HAD ACTUALLY SINGLE-HANDEDLY DEFEATED ALL OF LANG YA’S SIXTH ORDER OPEN HEAVEN.
THEIR FACE WAS BURNING FROM SHAME!
EVERYONE TURNED TO LOOK AT LI YUAN WANG, ONLY TO SEE THAT THIS SECT MASTER’S EXPRESSION WAS INDIFFERENT, AS IF HE DIDN’T MIND HIS OWN DISCIPLE’S INCOMPETENCE AT ALL, CAUSING EVERYONE TO FEEL EVEN MORE ASHAMED.
HOWEVER… THIS TRIAL HAD ALREADY ENDED, SO WHY HADN’T THE SECT MASTER ANNOUNCED THE RESULTS YET? FROM THE SECT MASTER’S EXPRESSION, IT SEEMED HE WAS WAITING FOR SOMETHING.
EVEN VICE SECT MASTER GAO TING WAS THE SAME.
LANG YA PARADISE'S OPEN HEAVEN DISCIPLES WERE SOMEWHAT PUZZLED, BUT SINCE THE SECT MASTER AND VICE SECT MASTER HAD NOT SPOKEN, THEY DIDN’T DARE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND COULD ONLY STAND QUIETLY TO THE SIDE.
TO BE CONTINUED...
