Chapter 1173

After searching for about the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Yang Kai ran out of the dug hole, looking very disappointed.

He found that searching for the Fire Glow Crystal here was completely a matter of luck.

Because the fire-element spiritual energy here was too rich, the aura of the Fire Glow Crystal was completely covered up. It was impossible for him to use his spiritual sense to detect it. Unable to use his spiritual sense to detect, he could only rely on luck to search, which greatly reduced Yang Kai’s interest.

These martial artists would be tempted by materials of the Void Grade High Rank, but Yang Kai wouldn’t. There was no need to waste time here for some Fire Glow Crystals.

It was better to go to the Area of Natural Treasures. Thinking of this, Yang Kai no longer bothered to dig.

Before leaving, Yang Kai casually looked at the middle-aged man and found that their luck was extremely good. The two senior and junior brothers had happy expressions on their faces and must have had a good harvest.

Not bothering them anymore, Yang Kai left this hill alone. When walking forward, he would constantly encounter some martial artists who got the news and ran towards him. Constantly, someone would pull him and ask this and that, which made Yang Kai extremely annoyed.

These people clearly saw that Yang Kai was alone and his cultivation level was not high, so they didn’t take him seriously. Otherwise, how could it be like this？

But since they were just asking about things, Yang Kai couldn’t kill them all. He could only avoid those people and walk.

At this time, Yang Kai didn’t use the Wind-Thunder Wings anymore. There were gradually more people here. The Wind-Thunder Wings were too ostentatious. If they were seen by others, it might cause some trouble. Yang Kai wasn’t afraid of trouble, but he also didn’t want to cause trouble. So he walked honestly with two feet, and the speed was not slow either.

Two days later, when Yang Kai was on his way, he suddenly heard a sound of fluttering clothes behind him, as if someone was running hard.

And judging from the movement came, that person was actually coming straight towards him. Yang Kai frowned and stopped his pace, looking back.

In an instant, a figure leaped several times among the hills and slopes behind and landed in front of Yang Kai.

When their eyes met, Yang Kai immediately recognized this person. This person was actually the middle-aged man with a jade-like face and a Saint King Two-layer cultivation level that he had met a few days ago. Yang Kai still had a pretty good impression of this middle-aged man who met by chance. After all, the other party had persuaded him at that time. He could be considered to have a good heart.

Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile and was just about to say hello to him when his face suddenly sank.

He found that the other party’s situation was a bit wrong. The Saint Yuan in his body was chaotic, his expression was flustered and he seemed to be injured. There was a wound on his shoulder bleeding out dyeing half of his clothes red.

Moreover, the other party’s eyeballs were also red, full of anger and unwillingness.

When he saw Yang Kai, this middle-aged man was slightly taken aback, as if he didn’t expect there to be someone here. A trace of guilt and chagrin flashed in his eyes and he stomped his foot suddenly and said anxiously: “If you don’t want to die, leave quickly!”

After saying this. He didn’t stay any longer. With a turn, he flew towards the left.

Yang Kai was completely confused. But soon, he understood what was going on. Just thirty breaths after the middle-aged man ran away, a group of four or five martial artists in dark green long gowns chased after him and arrived in front of Yang Kai.

The leader was a young man who looked about the same age as him, but his real age was unknown. His expression was cold and gloomy, and he had the cultivation base of the Third-Order Saint King Realm. The few people following him were both male and female, and they were all at the Second-Order Saint King Realm.

As soon as Yang Kai saw this young man, he found that the other party was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Just when he was suspicious. The young man unceremoniously shouted in a low voice, “Say, which direction did that person run？”

Yang Kai’s expression turned cold. The other party’s impolite way of asking questions made him very annoyed. Not to mention that Yang Kai and the middle-aged man had met once and he couldn’t betray him. Even if it was a stranger. With the other party’s such inquiry, Yang Kai wouldn’t answer.

“Senior Brother Meng, this way！” A woman dressed as a young married woman in this group suddenly pointed to one side, which was exactly the direction where the middle-aged man escaped, because there were a few drops of conspicuous blood spilled there.

“Hmph！” The young man called Senior Brother Meng snorted coldly and led the crowd to chase after him. Before leaving, he waved his hand and a golden light suddenly shot towards Yang Kai.

Yang Kai flew into a rage. He reached out and pointed in front of him, and a Shield of Great Heaven suddenly appeared, blocking the front.

However, the Shield of Great Heaven condensed with Yang Kai’s Saint Yuan was actually unable to completely withstand that golden glow. With a crisp cracking sound, the Shield of Great Heaven was almost broken.

Yang Kai was astonished. By the time he came back to his senses, those people had already run far away. And the Young Master Meng seemed rather surprised that he had failed to kill Yang Kai, a Martial Artist at the First-Order Saint King Realm, with a single strike. He turned his head and stared at Yang Kai coldly, as if trying to remember his appearance.

But at the moment, chasing that middle-aged man was the urgent matter. He didn’t bother to entangle with Yang Kai any more.

In just an instant, these four or five people chased after the direction in which the middle-aged man had fled and walked away.

Yang Kai stood where he was, carefully recalling. He felt that he had seen that young man somewhere before, otherwise he wouldn’t have had a sense of familiarity. After a moment, he finally remembered and couldn’t help but have a thought in his heart. He quickly chased after the direction they had left.

Whether it was because of this young man himself or because of that middle-aged man who he had met once, Yang Kai was not going to let go and ignore it.

That middle-aged man was indeed not bad. He had kindly advised Yang Kai before, and just now when he encountered Yang Kai, he even took the time to tell him to leave quickly, with a clear sense of guilt in his eyes. Clearly, it was because he had run in front of Yang Kai and implicated him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have changed his direction and fled temporarily.

Since the other party had good intentions, Yang Kai would naturally return the favor.

After a chase, it was easy to catch up.

Because the middle-aged man was already at the end of his rope and couldn’t run far. At this moment, Senior Brother Meng was leading several junior brothers and sisters to attack him. The middle-aged man’s cultivation level was not high, but the defensive armor on his body was quite good and had withstood a lot of fatal injuries for him.

Even so, the defensive armor was now almost dim and had lost a lot of its spirituality, and it was about to lose its protective function.

That Senior Brother Meng had a self-assured look. He didn’t join hands with his fellow disciples to make a move, but stood there with his hands behind his back and watched coldly, with a look of sarcasm and ridicule on his face.

Fortunately, he didn’t make a move, otherwise the middle-aged man simply couldn’t resist.

Meng Hongliang, you will die a bad death! The middle-aged man was hit by an attack from the young woman who had just spoken, spat out of blood and roared furiously with grief and indignation.”

This sentence made the young man named Meng Hongliang’s eyes turn fierce, and he coldly ordered： “Don’t rush to kill him. You all have a good time with him and let him know what the consequences are for offending my Quehe Sect.”

“Yes！” Several martial artists of the Quehe Sect who were besieging the middle-aged man responded upon hearing this, and immediately slowed down their attacks. Instead, they insulted the middle-aged man with a cat-and-mouse mentality, constantly causing him some small but painful wounds that would not be fatal immediately.

“Meng Hongliang, I have already given you the Fire Glow Crystal Essence. Why do you have to kill us all？ Why did you kill my junior brother？” The middle-aged man tried his best to avoid the attacks of those people, but the wounds on his body were getting more and more, and his face seemed to gradually turn pale due to excessive blood loss.

“Hmph！” Meng Hongliang snorted coldly. “The Fire Glow Crystal Essence is such a precious thing. Do you deserve to have it？ And of course, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. The blame lies with you two brothers for having such good luck and actually finding such a good thing. But your luck is also too bad. It’s okay to find it, but you were actually discovered by me. Hahaha, this Fire Glow Crystal Essence can only be owned by me. You two brothers can go to the underworld together. You shouldn’t be lonely.”

“I won’t let you go even if I become a ghost.” The middle-aged man roared wildly. The last trace of light of the precious armor on his body finally dimmed, and after being hit again, it broke apart piece by piece.

This defensive armor is completely damaged, and there is no possibility of repair.

“Kill him, lest there be more dreams in the long night！” Meng Hongliang also didn’t have the mood to entangle with the middle-aged man anymore and faintly ordered.

The offensives of several Quehezong disciples surrounding the middle-aged man suddenly became violent. They all erupted their respective Saint Yuan and smashed their killing moves towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man also seemed to feel that he couldn’t escape this disaster, so he didn’t resist anymore. Before dying, he still stared at Meng Hongliang with a pair of red eyes, as if he wanted to engrave his figure into the depths of his soul and come back to seek revenge after reincarnation!

Just when the middle-aged man was about to be killed, shields formed by burning black flames on all four sides suddenly and strangely appeared around the middle-aged man, blocking all the killing moves.

One of the Quehezong disciples couldn’t stop his move in time and slapped the black fire shield with a palm. The shield was intact, but this martial artist jumped up like a frightened rabbit and screamed loudly.

When everyone looked over, their eyes were immediately filled with fear and horror.

The burning black fire was now spreading along the warrior’s palm towards his body at an extremely rapid speed. Wherever the black fire passed, his arm and shoulder were immediately burned to ashes, and it quickly spread to his chest. It was obvious that he couldn’t be saved.

“Senior Brother Meng, help!” Youdaoplaceholder0 the bad situation, the warrior lost his composure and hurried ran towards Meng Hongliang who had the highest strength, hoping that he could save his life.

How could Meng Hongliang let him get close? The dark flame was extremely strange, and he was extremely afraid of it.

Seeing his fellow disciple rushing towards him, his face changed several times. A hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes. He took a few steps back, and then raised his hand. A golden light shot into the warrior’s head. The warrior who was running towards him immediately fell to the ground, with his eyes wide open. He seemed not to expect that his senior brother would actually do such a bad hand to him.

But in the blink of an eye, his corpse was completely devoured by the magic flame.

The remaining few men and women all had pale faces. On the one hand, it was because of the strong power of the magic flame. On the other hand, it was because they had witnessed Meng Hongliang killing his fellow disciple with their own eyes. For a moment, they all froze in place, staring blankly at Meng Hongliang, all showing expressions of disbelief.
