Chapter 332

The sound of sizzling came. The old man’s lower body seemed to have fallen into a cauldron of oil. The various evils contained in the evil-fiend spring water erupted with unparalleled power. In just an instant, a large piece of the old man’s flesh and blood was melted away.

The old man let out a shrill and miserable scream, and his true essence surged as he strives resisted the evil qi invading his body.

But no matter how hard he tried, those mysterious thick ink-like auras still spread rapidly over his body.

The old man’s courage and liver were torn apart. He used all his strength to try to jump upwards, but there seemed to be a huge suction force in the evil-fiend spring water, as if there were invisible big hands underneath, pulling his body down fiercely.

He was like accidentally falling into a swamp. The harder he exerted himself, the faster his body sank.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Kai flew to the top of his head and also struck out with both palms, with the momentum of a mountain pressing down, attacking ferociously.

The Blazing Sun Triple Explosion and the soul-divine skill were used simultaneously. Palm prints filled the sky, and among the palm prints, there were purple and secluded lights flashing from time to time.

Determined to kill him completely！

The old man had the strength of the fifth layer of the Divine Movement Realm, but like a tiger falling into a Ping Yang he simply couldn’t ‘texert it. With great frustration and anger, he was forcefully beaten into the Evil Shade Spring by Yang Kai.

A shrill and miserable howl rang out. Vaguely visible beneath the ink-like spring water, the old man struggled and resisted, but always couldn’t get rid of the constraint of the evil energy in the spring water. He sank deeper and deeper and gradually disappeared.

Not long after, the old man’s voice also disappeared, completely dead.

Yang Kai’s complexion was also a bit ugly. He didn’t expect the power of this Evil Shade Spring to be so powerful. Even a Divine Movement Realm expert who fell into it couldn’t break free. When the evil energy in his Proud Bone Golden Body was used, he could swim freely in the spring water, but if other people fell into it, I’m afraid the end would be no different from that of Xiaoyao Sect.

The defensive shield of True Yang Yuan Qi on the high platform… could it withstand it？

Looking over there with some worry, Yang Kai quickly pulled back.

The Divine Sense power had been used so many times and was indeed a bit tired and weak but Yang Kai still didn’t show the slightest bit.

Falling back onto the high platform, everyone held their breath and looked at him, seemingly unable to believe that a fifth-layer Divine Movement Realm expert had been killed by him just like that.

Although everyone knew that it wasn’t Yang Kai’s own ability, but more relying on the evil of the Evil Shade Spring, even so, it was still shocking enough.

“Cough… It seems that only us are left here.” Shen Yi coughed lightly and pulled back everyone’s attention.

“Yes, all dead.” Leng Shan looked at the empty platform on the other side, feeling rather dreamlike.

Ghost King Valley has offended Free and Unfettered Sect this time. She was worried that she would be punished by her master after returning, but unexpectedly, none of Yu Qing and the others survived, which was a result she was happy to see.

Since no one from Free and Unfettered Sect survived to go back, naturally they wouldn’t know what happened here.

“It’s rising！” Tao Yang shouted in a deep voice, staring heavily outside.

The evil and baleful spring water outside erupted again at this moment. The expanded spring water quickly overflowed the platform and rose dozens of zhang rapidly, filling the entire fierce and evil cave.

Turning around and looking around, except that things could still be seen on the platform, all directions were wrapped by the spring water. The thick ink-like spring water blocked all light, and everyone was now like hiding in a bubble at the bottom of the sea.

Through the outside of the defensive cover, some evil spirits could still be seen wandering in the spring water from time to time.

Everyone couldn’t help but rejoice in their hearts. Fortunately, they hadn’t rashly left the platform just now. Otherwise, I’m afraid that before they could rush out of the safe area, they would already have been swallowed by these spring waters.

“Zi la la…” When the spring water touched the Zhenyang Yuan Qi defense shield, there was a burst of cracking sounds. The two mutually restraining energies collided, and each was rapidly consuming the energy of the other.

For a while, everyone’s hearts tensed up, and they stared intently at the movement of the defense shield without blinking an eye.

In this situation, if the defense shield broke, except for Yang Kai, everyone else would surely die.

Dong dong…

The sounds coming from the evil spirit spring eye over there became more and more intense and dense. Affected by this sound, the heartbeats of the people on the high platform involuntarily accelerated a lot. They were on tenterhooks, not knowing what kind of change would occur over there.

“Pu…” There seemed to be the sound of something breaking.

Zhao Rong of the Treasure Instrument Sect let out a shrill scream and said with a pale face, “It seems that one layer of the defense shield has been broken！”

“Really？” Cheng Ying’s face also turned pale.

It had only been such a short time, and one layer of the defense shield had already been worn away. If calculated at this rate, the high platform would not be safe in less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

“It’s true. I saw it.” Zhao Rong was on the verge of crying.

Death, sometimes, is not so terrifying. A sudden sword strike can end a person’s life without him feeling anything.

What is terrifying is that feeling of waiting for death, that long, anxious, and the torment of fear which makes people feel that a day seems like a year.

“What if all of them are broken？” Cheng Ying asked with a mournful face.

“Crow’s mouth！” Leng Shan rebuked.

Immediately, everyone turned their heads and looked at Yang Kai expectantly.

It seemed that they felt he could still create a miracle and turn the tide.

Yang Kai sniffed and said, “I can still condense such a defensive shield！”

Everyone’s expressions immediately lit up, and Shen Yi couldn’t help but burst into laughter and said, “I said Brother Yang must still have tricks up his sleeve. Hahaha, now there’s nothing to worry about.”

Hiding inside the defensive shield is extremely safe. Apart from being a little scared, there’s nothing else to worry about.

Tao Yang’s brows furrowed slightly. He glanced at Yang Kai thoughtfully and asked in a deep voice, “Brother Yang, approximately how many more layers can you condense？”

Yang Kai slightly probed the Yang Liquid in his dantian and said lightly, “Fifty layers should be possible.”

Tao Yang took a deep breath and stared at Yang Kai like he was a monster.

The True Yuan contained in just one layer of this defensive shield is already enormous. Fifty layers… Tao Yang could hardly imagine how Yang Kai could have so much True Yuan in his body.

However, immediately after, his brows furrowed again, and he said worriedly, “The key is when these springs will disappear. Even if Brother Yang does his best, I’m afraid he can only maintain it for half an hour. If these springs are still here after half an hour, then…”

Yang Kai’s brows also furrowed tightly. He was most afraid of this now.

Although his own safety doesn’t need to be considered, the Hu sisters are still here. He can’t just watch them die.

These twin sisters had been nice to Yang Kai when he was still weak, and Yang Kai also cherished the old feelings in his heart.

When he said fifty layers, it was also the most conservative statement.

If it really came to that time, he would spare no effort to take the Hu family sisters and fly out, using his own true yuan to wrap them and not let them be hurt.

The reason why he was still staying here at the moment was that Yang Kai just wanted to do his best. After all, he had also gotten along very happily with the people of the Ghost King Valley and the Treasure Instrument Sect.

He was just one person and couldn’t take care of so many. Although it was a bit selfish, in a critical moment, he could only take care of the people he was familiar with.

For a while, the people on the high platform were all a bit gloomy and restless.

Hu Mei’er quietly looked at Yang Kai, but there was no worried look on her face. She just moved closer to his side.

Hu Jiao’er noticed her sister’s small movement and just smiled bitterly and looked away.

“By the way, do you have any news of my master？” Worrying wasn’t going to solve anything. Yang Kai simply stopped thinking about the current difficult situation. Standing beside Hu Mei’er, he asked in a low voice and started to inquire about the news of the sect.

“Your master？” Hu Mei’er looked at him in surprise. Because the distance was too close, she quickly shifted her gaze.

“Ling Taixu.”

“Oh.” Hu Mei’er responded, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed. After thinking for a while, she said, “We don’t know. I only know that one night, a great battle suddenly broke out in your Lingxiao Pavilion. It seems that the Qiu family from Zhongdu brought people to cause trouble. That battle lasted for a long time. I heard my father say that Sect Master Ling seemed to have broken through to above the Divine Movement Realm. Sect Master Ling is really remarkable.”

“What was the result of that battle？” Yang Kai asked urgently.

“It seems to be a draw. Sect Master Ling is extremely powerful, and with the assistance of four elders, all the experts from the Qiu family in Zhongdu were repelled. However, since then, Sect Master Ling and the others have also disappeared.”

“That’s good.” Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel relieved. Although he had long known that his master wouldn’t have any accidents, after all, he hadn’t received any news for such a long time, so he was still a little worried.

“But because of being implicated by your Lingxiao Pavilion, the people of our Blood Battle Gang and Wind and Rain Tower have suffered a great deal.” Hu Mei’er glared at Yang Kai, with a hint of coquettishness and joy in her tone, but without the slightest intention of blaming.

“What’s the matter？”

“The Evil Lord came from your Lingxiao Pavilion. The people from the Qiu family in Zhongdu were repelled by you, and it seems that an important figure of the Qiu family also got lost and has been missing ever since. Those people are very overbearing and blamed our Blood Battle Gang and Wind and Rain Tower as well. Then our two sects were forced to send people to participate in the siege of the Cangyun Evil Land to prove our innocence. That’s why my sister and I have fallen into trouble here.” Hu Mei’er explained softly.

After hearing her explanation, Yang Kai finally understood why the two sisters had appeared in the Cangyun Evil Land. They must have been dragged here to fight and then got separated from the others.

Not familiar with the place, they kept going deeper and deeper, and then they encountered those scum from the Xiaoyao Sect and were completely forced into the Ferocious Evil Cave.

“Just kidding with you. I’m not blaming your Lingxiao Pavilion. It’s those people who are unreasonable！” Seeing Yang Kai’s silence, Hu Mei’er thought he was a bit angry and couldn’t help but feel flustered in her heart.

“Hmm, I know.” Yang Kai’s face was a bit gloomy, and he changed the topic and asked, “What about Su Yan？ Have you heard any news about Su Yan recently？”

“No！” Hu Mei’er obviously didn’t know that Su Yan and the others had already left tens of thousands of miles away through the Void Tunnel. She shook her head and said, “There are no people left in your Lingxiao Pavilion now. After that important figure of the Qiu family got lost, those invading experts were so angry that they burned down the entire Lingxiao Pavilion. Now there… is a pile of ruins.”

Yang Kai took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “I see.”

“You… cheer up.” Seeing Yang Kai’s ugly face, Hu Mei’er didn’t know how to comfort him and actually took the initiative to hold his hand and gently squeezed it.

Yang Kai looked at her in surprise.

Hu Mei’er lowered her head and didn’t say a word. She thought that maybe she would die soon, so she just held on tightly. It wasn’t like she hadn’t been unrestrained in front of him before. She used to boldly seduce him. But since she cultivated the Tongqi Lianzhi Divine Skill, perhaps her disposition had also been influenced a lot by her sister, and she was no longer as unrestrained as before.
