Chapter 1722
by“Your companion is a bit too uninteresting, so he died！” Yang Kai looked at Zhang Fu indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotional color, making Zhang Fu sweat like rain.
He had the intention to escape, but found that he couldn’t muster up the courage no matter what.
He had a feeling that if he really escaped, the next one to be decapitated would be himself.
“I hope your answer can satisfy me！” Yang Kai observed his words and expressions and continued to put pressure on Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu’s face was ashen, his eyes filled with fear and dread. He pursed his dry lips and said, “If I tell you the question you want to know, will you let me go？”
“What do you think？” Yang Kai sneered.
Zhang Fu’s body trembled slightly, and he said hoarsely, “Since you won’t let me go, why should I cooperate with you？ It’s just a matter of death anyway.”
“I will give you a quick death so that you won’t even notice when you die！” Yang Kai smiled gently.
That smile was like a devil climbing out of hell. Zhang Fu felt that facing this young man was even more terrifying than facing Lord Li.
“I need to think about it！” Zhang Fu swallowed saliva, and when he spoke, his eyes flitted left and right, obviously looking for a way to escape.
Yang Kai looked at him with a smile. Suddenly, he flicked his finger, and under the shining golden light, Zhang Fu suddenly let out a shrill scream and quickly backed away.
But as soon as his body moved, an extremely powerful force field wrapped around him, making him unable to move even the slightest bit！
Zhang Fu’s eyes trembled violently. He lowered his gaze and found that the front end of his left hand had about an inch of his finger cut off by some sharp weapon. The incision was neat, and blood spurted into the void.
This kind of pain, for a Void Return Stage cultivator who has experienced many battles, was actually nothing. What really terrified Zhang Fu was that he simply had no power to fight back in front of Yang Kai.
Both of them were at the Third-Order Void Return Stage, but the other party was like a lofty deity who could easily control his life and death！
The golden light flashed again…
Zhang Fu felt the pain again. The finger that had already been cut off by an inch was actually cut off by another inch. The severed finger floated in the void and slowly drifted away into the distance.
The other party didn’t speak anymore either. He just kept shaking his fingers slightly, and the golden wire wrapped around his hand continuously shone with light.
An inch, and another inch…
Zhang Fu’s left hand became shorter inch by inch until the entire palm was cut off. Yang Kai still showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he continued this action with great interest, controlling the cut-off length with absolute precision.
What horrified Zhang Fu was that while the other party continued this game-like means an extremely cold voice also came from his mouth: “After cutting off your left hand, I will cut off your right hand, and then your left leg and right leg. I believe that with your cultivation level, you won’t die for the time being. Then I will cut your body open inch by inch. Don’t worry, I guarantee that you will still be alive and well before I cut to your heart vein. In this way, you can clearly see how you die.”
Zhang Fu could no longer suppress the horror in his heart. Enduring the excruciating pain, he roared： “That’s enough. I’ll tell you everything you want to know！ Stop torturing me.”
Anyway, it’s just a matter of dying. It’s better to have a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one. Zhang Fu really couldn’t bear to watch how he was going to die with his own eyes. Just thinking about that scene already made him tremble with fear.
Yang Kai’s movements on his hand slightly paused, and he looked at him leisurely, chuckling lightly and saying, “If you had done this earlier, you would have suffered less. Why bother？”
Zhang Fu gritted his teeth and growled, “The winner takes all. I’ll tell you.”
“Alright！ Who on earth are you people！” Yang Kai didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked.
“We are from the Sword League！”
“The Sword League？” Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
The Sword League is also considered a large force in the star field, in charge of several cultivation stars. Although not as huge as the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce, its strength cannot be underestimated either.
Speaking of which, Yang Kai has also dealt with the martial artists of the Sword League before, but that was already many years ago. In the star field, besides the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce, the Sword League, and forces like Purple Star, there are also the Galaxy Ridge, the Abandoned Nest and many other forces, each occupying a certain territory of the star field. They compete with each other and secession and occasionally some big and small frictions will break out.
“Who were you hiding over there to ambush？” Yang Kai asked again.
Zhang Fu’s eyes flickered for a moment, looking a bit hesitant, but finally gritted his teeth and said, “Also people from our Sword League.”
Yang Kai looked at him with a strange expression.
Zhang Fu immediately shouted, “I’m not flying to you!” The ones we were going to ambush were just our enemies. Although everyone is from the Sword League, there are always factional differences!
Yang Kai nodded slightly. From the other party’s eyes, Yang Kai could see no sign of lying, and the explanation was also reasonable.
For a large force like the Sword League, it is naturally impossible for the interior to be monolithic. There will always be some internal struggles. However, it is a bit incredible that it has come to the point of such an ambush and surprise attack.
“Be more specific.” For the sake of safety, Yang Kai pursued.
Since Zhang Fu had already chosen to cooperate, there was naturally no more room for concealment. Immediately, he told Yang Kai everything in detail.
In the Sword League, there are several different factions, but the two largest factions are one represented by the current alliance leader and the other by the deputy alliance leader. They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years.
The Lord Li he mentioned earlier, whose real name is Li Minghai, is a well-known powerhouse in the Sword League and belongs to the faction of the deputy alliance leader of the Sword League.
This time, the person they are ambushing and surprise attacking here is a rising star of the alliance leader’s faction and also the descendant of the Sword League leader Gu Cangyun, Gu Jianxin！
“A rising star, even if he is the descendant of your alliance leader, it is not worth such a mobilization of troops. Youdaoplaceholder0, a Void King Realm is dispatched for the ambush? Yang Kai looked at Zhang Fu in astonishment and thought thoughtfully What is there about this person that is worth your doing this?
Zhang Fu smiled bitterly. “If it were an ordinary Void Return Stage cultivator, there would naturally be no need to pay too much attention. But the Young Alliance Leader is an unprecedented Great Void Sword Body. Now he has even reached the Third-Order Void Return Stage. If he were to advance to the Void King Stage, the Vice-Alliance Leader’s faction would never have a chance to rise again. So taking advantage of the fact that the Young Alliance Leader doesn’t have too strong helpers around him this time, we planned this operation. And your appearance made Lord Li feel that the plan was disrupted, so he wanted to kill you.”
“Great Void Sword Body？” Yang Kai stroked his chin. “This is a special constitution, right？ Since it can make you all here so afraid, is it very powerful？”
“The Young Alliance Leader is only sixty years old this year and has already reached the Third-Order Void Return Stage. Do you think he is powerful？” Zhang Fu’s expression was solemn. “I see that your real age doesn’t seem to be very old either, but your strength is quite remarkable. But if you were to encounter our Young Alliance Leader, it’s hard to say who would win and who would lose！”
“Is that so？” Yang Kai chuckled.
A martial artist who has cultivated to the Third-Order Void Return Stage before the age of sixty is indeed a peerless talent！ However, calculating Yang Kai’s age, it seems to be only about fifty！ Calculating it, he is even a little more powerful than that Gu Jianxin.
However, when martial artists are cultivating, they often don’t notice the passage of time, so they don’t care much about age anymore.
“If you say so, I’m actually a little interested in your Young Alliance Leader.” Yang Kai grinned and smiled.
Zhang Fu sized him up and down, nodded and said, “People like you will one day collide with each other and spark amazing sparks. However… the young alliance leader must also be able to escape this pursuit！ Well, I have told you everything you want to know, you can do it！”
“Have a good journey！” Yang Kai nodded faintly at him.
“Do it！” Zhang Fu urged impatiently, but still did not see any sign of Yang Kai doing it. But the next moment, his consciousness became blurred.
Sure enough… there is no pain！
Standing in place, Yang Kai took off the space rings of Zhang Fu and Liu Dong, flicked out two clusters of magic flames, and burned their corpses. Then he looked back thoughtfully, controlled the star shuttle, and rushed back.
He didn’t want to take the initiative to cause trouble, but that Li Minghai didn’t ask the reason and directly killed him just because he passed by. He couldn’t tolerate it either. If someone hit him, there was no reason not to fight back.
He was going to join in the fun! If he could find an opportunity to kill Li Minghai, that would be better.
In the meteorite sea, a group of warriors led by Li Minghai waited quietly, like dormant beasts, waiting for an opportunity to move.
After a long time, someone frowned and said, “Why haven’t Zhang Fu and Liu Dong come back yet？ With their skills, they should have succeeded by now？”
“Could they have encountered some danger？”
“There’s no danger around here. You don’t mean to say that he was counter-killed by that guy, do you？”
“How is that possible? That passer-by took a blow from Lord Li. It’s already a fluke that he didn’t die. How could he have the strength to counter-kill Zhang Fu and Liu Dong? But it’s really a bit strange that they haven’t come back for such a long time. My lord, should your subordinate go out and look for them?” As he spoke, this person asked Li Minghai.
“No need. If they can’t even handle such a small matter, it’s useless for them to be alive！ None of you should act rashly. In a day or two, the battleship of the Young Alliance Leader will pass by here. We just need to wait quietly.”
“Yes！”
After a few words of conversation, the group fell silent again. They just looked in a certain direction occasionally, looking forward to the arrival of the Young Alliance Leader’s battleship.
This meteorite sea is very large and extremely easy to hide in. Otherwise, Li Minghai wouldn’t have chosen this place to ambush Gu Jianxin’s battleship.
It is precisely because it is very large that when Yang Kai sneaked around from a very distant position, no one noticed his trace.
At this moment, Yang Kai is only a hundred miles away from Li Minghai and the others.
He is also hiding on a meteorite, looking in the direction of Li Minghai and the others, with a cold expression.
With his current strength, he can completely go up and have a big fight. Even if he can’t do anything about that Li Minghai, it’s no problem to kill a few of his subordinates and then retreat calmly.
But Yang Kai didn’t plan to do so. It was Li Minghai who injured him before, so naturally he had to seek revenge from Li Minghai.
He was also waiting, waiting for that so-called Young League Leader to come, waiting for the two sides to engage in a great battle, and then taking the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, using the same method to deal with them！
