Chapter 855

Every time the ancient demons attacked, an enemy would have their head or body chopped off and splashed out.

All kinds of pitch-black demonic essence, like trapped beasts out of their cages, rampaged through the crowd, devastating the will and the heart of resistance of the disciples of the Broken Mystery Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace. They screamed, pleaded, and died in despair.

The pure and flawless snow-capped mountain turned into a Shura purgatory. Blood converged and flowed like a trickling stream. Limbs were all over the place, and bones were flying.

In a short while, the disciples of these two forces had already suffered more than a thousand casualties.

Zhang Ao, Cao Guan and others had their eye sockets completely red, roaring frantically trying to resist but in the front of Li Rong and others, they were simply powerless and could only be at their mercy.

The Transcendent Realm cultivators were almost all dead.

The four Saint Realm cultivators were also gradually showing signs of fatigue.

Zhang Ao’s methods were quite extraordinary. The aftershocks of his attacks even killed several ancient demons with not high strength, which made Li Rong even more ruthless in her actions.

Yang Kai watched all this indifferently, deeply realizing what is called the law of the jungle.

As time passed, the battle gradually subsided.

The ground was covered with corpses and minced meat. The ancient demons, covered in blood, looked up to the sky and wailed. as if they still couldn’t hide the killing intent in their hearts. The soaring evil spirit converged in one place, making this area of heaven and earth seems very depressing.

Of the four Saint Kings of the Soul War Temple in the Broken Mysterious Mansion, three were killed on the spot, and only one Zhang Ao was captured alive.

Thick blood light twined around him like ropes, making him unable to move. Li Rong brought him in front of Yang Kai and waited for Yang Kai’s disposal.

Standing in the center of this Asura hell, Yang Kai closed his eyes and let the World Extinguishing Demon Eye in his Sea of Consciousness release a huge pulling force to absorb all the scattered Soul Energy between Heaven and Earth.

Zhang Ao waited nervously, not knowing what fate awaited him. Cold sweat trickled down his once high-spirited face as he looked at Yang Kai in horror.

After a long while, Yang Kai slowly opened his eyes and looked down at Zhang Ao in front of him.

Saint Master Yang… Although I, Zhang, am also a powerhouse in one region, this time, you, with your great magnanimity, spare my life. I, Zhang, will surely surrender and serve you, and listen to your orders in the future！

Seeing his timidity and cowardice, Li Rong and the others couldn’t help but reveal a hint of contempt.

“A powerhouse in one region… not bad indeed. You chased me for several months.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. “But I’m sorry, I’m not interested in you. The power I have gathered is already sufficient. One more of you doesn’t make much difference, and one less of you doesn’t matter either. Keeping you around seems to be nothing but harmful to me.”

“That’s not the case, Saint Lord Yang. I can do whatever you ask…” Sensing Yang Kai’s killing intent, Zhang Ao’s heart was filled with fear, and he turned his gaze to Wu Jie again, shouting in a low voice： “Patriarch Wu, for the sake of our many years of friendship, please say a word for me.”

Wu Jie let out a deep sigh： “Brother Zhang… When it’s the heavens that make a disaster, it can still be forgiven. But when it’s oneself who makes a disaster, it’s impossible to live. I advised you two years ago to stop when you were ahead, but you insisted on killing them all. Now that the situation has reversed, what do you want me to say？ Moreover, I can only survive under the protection of Saint Lord. How can I speak up here？”

Seeing that Wu Jie had rejected his request, Zhang Ao couldn’t help but feel a little disheartened, and said hurriedly： “Saint Lord Yang, I have a secret. As long as you promise not to kill me, I can tell you everything.”

“A secret？” Yang Kai chuckled. “Who doesn’t have some secrets？ What value does your secret have for me？”

“This secret might be related to the mystery of the starry sky in the legend. I think Saint Master Yang should be interested. Since you are the Saint Master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, sooner or later you will be able to break through to the top level of the Third-Order Saint Realm. Such a powerful person pursues the Great Dao of the Starry Sky！” Zhang Ao said in a low voice.

Yang Kai raised his brows and couldn’t help but become interested. He bent down and stared at him, asking, “Why is it related to the mystery of the starry sky？”

“Because I have experienced it personally once. It seems that I was in the endless starry sky, with stars twinkling all around. It was very strange…”

“Lord, this guy may be stalling for time or just making things up randomly.” Han Fei said coldly.

Yang Kai raised his hand and motioned to Zhang Ao, “Continue.”

Seeing that he seemed really interested, Zhang Ao suddenly became much more energetic and quickly said, “And there is a very strange power surging there. Even though I am already at the Second-Order Saint Realm, I still feel a bit unbearable. It seems that my whole person is going to be crushed into pieces. I think that perhaps only a person at the Third-Order Saint Realm can withstand such terrifying energy with their physical body.”

Yang Kai frowned. What Zhang Ao said was very similar to what he had experienced in the starry sky back then. Couldn’t help but, he felt that what Zhang Ao said might be true and not fabricated. People who haven’t been to the starry sky would hardly be able to accurately describe all of this.

After pondering for a while, Yang Kai grinned and said, “What you said sounds quite reasonable, but what does this have to do with the Starry Sky？ How do you know that place is the Starry Sky？”

“To be honest with Saint Yang, at first Zhang didn’t pay much attention. It was just that one day I suddenly picked up a very strange stone in the sect. That stone didn’t seem to be from this continent… In the following years, Zhang could often find some strange broken stones there until one day Zhang obtained something.”

“What thing？” Yang Kai asked in a deep voice.

“That thing is in Zhang’s Qiankun Bag. You can check it yourself. After you see it, you will know whether Zhang is talking nonsense or not.” Zhang Ao motioned.

Yang Kai glanced at his Qiankun Bag, reached out and took it off. Just as he was about to open it, Li Rong quickly stepped forward and said, “Master, let me do it.”

She clearly didn’t trust Zhang Ao and was afraid that Zhang Ao had played some tricks in his Qiankun Bag.

Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded slightly and handed the Qiankun Bag to Li Rong.

Li Rong took it, opened the Qiankun Bag. Before she could carefully check it, a strange and peculiar force suddenly shot out from the mouth of the bag and directly imprinted into Li Rong’s beautiful eyes, disappearing you.

Li Rong’s movements suddenly stiffened, and her delicate body trembled slightly, as if she was in great pain.

“There is indeed something strange！” Han Fei’s expression turned cold, and without hesitation, she slapped Zhang Ao with a palm. Before he could even get up, half of his bones were shattered.

“Don’t kill him！” Yang Kai hurriedly stopped her, his face as gloomy as water. He quickly stepped forward to check on Li Rong’s injury.

If Li Rong hadn’t taken the initiative to suggest it just now, I’m afraid it would be him who was hit at this moment！

“I’m fine… it’s just a strand of divine sense attack.” Li Rong supported her forehead and said softly, “There is a power of bewitchment and control, which has been resolved.”

As a Second-Order Saint Realm cultivator, the tricks Zhang Ao secretly arranged naturally had no effect on Li Rong.

Zhang Ao’s eyes dimmed, looking somewhat unwilling.

What he didn’t know was that even if this strand of divine sense attack was aimed at Yang Kai, it wouldn’t have had any effect either.

He racked his brains, wanting to lure Yang Kai to check the Universe Bag and control him in one fell swoop but unfortunately, he didn’t succeed.

Hit by Han Fei’s blow, Zhang Ao collapsed on the ground, hissing in pain, and looked at the crowd with a complex expression.

Yang Kai chuckled a few times, walked to Zhang Ao’s side, and slightly nodded： “You have quite a lot of guts！ Tell me, how do you want to die？”

Zhang Ao’s eyes were filled with resentment and helplessness. He remained silent, clearly knowing that he had no hope of escaping this time.

After looking at him for a while, Yang Kai impatiently waved his hand： “Kill him！”

Zhang Ao roared angrily： “Kill me and you’ll never know that secret！”

He still wanted to make a final effort.

What answered him was Han Fei’s fatal blow.

Under the condition that no one noticed, Zhang Ao’s soul energy dissipated from the sea of consciousness and was completely absorbed by Yang Kai.

The soul spirit body fled into the sea of consciousness. Yang Kai carefully placed the soul power belonging to Zhang Ao in a corner. When he had time in the future, he would carefully investigate it again.

He was still quite interested in the secret that Zhang Ao said before he died.

In the Broken Mystery Mansion, not a single person from the Battle Soul Palace was left alive. Standing aside, Wu Jie couldn’t help but feel a bit of sadness like a hare mourning the death of its kind, and also secretly relieved. Fortunately, he had specifically talked to Yang Kai once two or three years ago. Otherwise, the fate of his Nether Sect today would surely be the same as these people, with no possibility of survival.

“Wu Jie, none of the dead are from your Nether Sect, right？” Yang Kai turned his head and looked at him.

Wu Jie slowly shook his head： “When I was escaping, I sent a message to the deputy sect master and asked him to lead people away. Zhang Ao and the others were in a hurry to chase you and probably didn’t have time to care about this. Those who died here are only people from the Broken Mystery Mansion and the Battle Soul Palace. Even those people from the Ancient Moon Cave Heaven and the Luo Sheng Men seem to have been abandoned by them.”

“That’s the best.” Yang Kai gently nodded.

“It seems my people haven’t gone far…” Wu Jie slightly sensed it and said, “Holy Lord, can I call them over？”

Yang Kai nodded and didn’t stop him.

“Lord Li…” The newly promoted Yin Ya and Xue Ji, the two new commanders, didn’t rush over until this time. Holding a Qiankun Bag in their hands, they reported, “All the bones of Senior Guan Nu that could be found are collected here.”

Li Rong’s expression darkened, and she reached out to take it.

Yang Kai looked at her and said softly, “Please accept my condolences. Senior Guan Nu has also fulfilled his wish.”

“As the Lord said.”

“Rest here for the night tonight. You all adapt to this outside world and also prepare to tidy up. We will leave early tomorrow morning.”

“Yes！” Li Rong received the order and went to work with Han Fei and others.

It was not until this time that the magic patterns covering the bodies of the Ancient Demon Clan gradually dissipated, and the thick and tangible evil spirit also gradually disappeared. The oppressive atmosphere between heaven and earth finally eased a lot.

Nearly a thousand members of the Ancient Demon Clan also died some in this battle. However, the number was not large, only twenty or thirty people. The remaining people buried them on the spot and shed tears sadly.

They had longed and anticipated for countless years, and only today did they finally walk out of that Small Mysterious Realm. Unexpectedly, before they even had a chance to take a look at this world, they had already lost their lives. Naturally, the remaining companions felt sorry for them.

However, very soon, the Ancient Demons composed themselves. The bright moon in the sky and the faintly visible stars made them never tire of looking, and they looked forward even more to the rising of the scorching sun tomorrow, secretly imagining what kind of scene it would be.
