Chapter 1721
byBoom…
A huge sound came out. While the golden light splashed everywhere Yang Kai also flew upside down on his back and spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.
The blood shield formed by his proud hundred golden blood filaments intertwined could not completely block this blow, which greatly shocked him.
However, this moment of confrontation also allowed him to see clearly what was attacking him.
It was a long spear, a one-zhang-long, baby-arm-thick long spear with flowing light all over its body and extremely extraordinary spiritual energy fluctuations surging on it.
Void King-level secret treasure！
Although the body of the secret treasure, the long spear, was blocked by the blood shield, a kind of power that leaked out from the long spear could not be completely blocked and invaded into Yang Kai’s body. In an instant, he felt as if he was being pricked by countless needles, and his meridians and flesh hurt extremely, and his face suddenly distorted.
With the cultivation base and strength of the person who made the sneak attack, and with the terrifying power of this long spear, an ordinary Void Return Stage 3 cultivator would indeed be instantly killed, but after all, Yang Kai had profound background, so he was only slightly injured.
Since leaving Dark Star until now, it was the first time to find a place with human habitation, but unexpectedly, he was sneak-attacked by a Void King Realm cultivator with a Void King-level secret treasure.
Yang Kai’s heart was burning with anger. He turned his head, like an enraged beast, and stared fiercely at that sea of meteorites, and then quickly flew away into the distance. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
And the long spear that attacked Yang Kai flew back to its original position after one strike and fell into the hands of a certain middle-aged man standing on a huge meteorite.
This middle-aged man had a sinister look and a tall and slender figure. He was wearing a dark blue long robe. Where he Youdaoplaceholder0, a cold and gloomy atmosphere, and no one dared to approach within a radius of ten zhang.
Holding his own secret treasure, the sinister middle-aged man showed some unexpected expressions on his face, as if he didn’t expect that his blow would not be able to kill Yang Kai.
“This is quite interesting. Not only was he able to detect your hiding place so early, but he also didn’t die on the spot after taking a strike from me.” The sinister middle-aged man let out a cold laugh and casually glanced in the direction where Yang Kai had fled. Then he asked, “Does anyone here recognize that person？”
Around him, there were at least twenty Void Returning Jing cultivators, and all of them were powerhouses at the second level of the Void Returning Jing or above. None of them were at the first level. Hearing this, they looked at each other and all shook their heads, indicating that they didn’t know Yang Kai.
“Since none of you know him, then he’s not from that side. It seems he was really just passing by.” The sinister middle-aged man ponders for a moment, “However, this matter is of great importance and allows no room for error. Even if he was just passing by, he still can’t be let go.”
“Sir, after taking a strike from you, could he still be alive？” someone else asked.
Just now, when this sinister middle-aged man made his move, they all saw it. None of the people present had the confidence to withstand such a strike and survive！ Although the other party’s background was unknown, he was clearly just a Void Returning Jing cultivator. Naturally, he couldn’t be an exception either.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry. Zhang Fu, Liu Dong, go and bring his corpse back to me!” The sinister middle-aged man ordered. He clearly believed that Yang Kai was bound to die and was only able to escape by struggling to survive.
“Yes sir！” The two Void Return Stage 3 cultivators who were named immediately responded, sacrificed their star shuttles, and chased after the direction where Yang Kai had fled.
Thirty thousand miles away from the place where Yang Kai was attacked, on a meteorite, Yang Kai sat cross-legged. Looking in the direction he had come from, he quietly waited.
Although he didn’t know why that Void King Stage cultivator had attacked him for no reason, judging from the sneaky situation of those people, they were obviously lying in ambush for someone. And even though he had passed by inadvertently, he might have disrupted their plan.
So he had attracted the opponent’s attack, and they had attempted to kill him to silence him.
Since this was the case, now that he had fled, the other side would surely not let it go！ There should be pursuers coming.
It was precisely because of this judgment that Yang Kai had deliberately stopped. He wasn’t in a hurry to leave.
Having suffered such a big loss for no reason, how could Yang Kai let it go？ Although the opponent’s previous strike had been terrifying, Yang Kai had also sensed that the person who had made the move was only a Void King Stage 1 cultivator.
He had even killed Luo Hai before, so what was there to be afraid of a Void King Stage 1 cultivator？ Although he no longer had the Star Emperor Token that he could use, even if he couldn’t win, escaping was still no problem.
Back then in the star field, Luo Hai had chased Yang Kai for several months and had been extremely distressed. Could an unknown Stage 1 cultivator be more powerful than Luo Hai?
His guess was indeed correct. After waiting on this meteorite for less than half a cup of tea, two streaks of escaping light suddenly appeared in the distance. Judging from the brightness and speed of the escaping light, the comers were two Void Returning Third-layer Realm warriors.
A sarcastic smile appears on Yang Kai’s lips. When they got close enough he then pretended to be in a state of panic and hurriedly jumped up from the meteorite, sacrificed the Star Shuttle, and continued to fly forward.
However, under his deliberate actions, his escaping light flickered on and off, and his speed was also extremely slow, looking like he was seriously injured and at the end of his strength.
The two warriors named Zhang Fu and Liu Dong saw this scene, exchanged a glance, and couldn’t help but smile knowingly. They actually followed Yang Kai leisurely, with the mentality of a cat playing with a mouse, not in a hurry to come forward and strike a fatal blow.
As he was flying forward, Yang Kai would look back from time to time, as if he was afraid of being caught up by the other party.
This scene made Zhang Fu and Liu Dong even more unscrupulous. Not only did they follow behind Yang Kai, but they also constantly spoke words of intimidation.
An hour later, estimating that the distance was almost right, Yang Kai suddenly stopped and turned around, standing still in the void.
With a flash of light, Zhang Fu and Liu Dong both appeared thirty zhang in front of Yang Kai at the same time, looking at him with a mocking expression.
Zhang Fu, who was taller, sized up Yang Kai and sneered. “Kid, you’re quite something. You took a strike from Lord Li’s Soul-Breaking Spear and didn’t die. I really admire you.”
“Lord Li?” Yang Kai furrowed his brows, his face sullen and terrifying, snow-white in complexion and he kept coughing lightly when speaking. “I have no enmity with you all. May I ask why that Lord Li attacked me sneakily?
Zhang Fu smiled coldly and played with a circular secret treasure in his hand leisurely. He slightly raised his eyelids and said, “We indeed have no enmity. The blame is that you, kid, are not discerning and have to pass by here. Hehe Lord Li hates most that his plan is disrupted by others.”
“What plan？” Yang Kai asked persistently.
Liu Dong, who was standing beside Zhang Fu, said impatiently, “The kid is going to die. Why ask so many questions？”
“Just because I’m going to die, I want to ask clearly so as not to die!” Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
“You want to die clearly？” Zhang Fu looked at Yang Kai with a sneer.
“That’s right！”
“It’s not impossible to tell you. Anyway, you…” Zhang Fu said in a teasing tone, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Liu Dong： “Why waste so much time talking to him? Hurry up and kill him and go back to report to Lord Li！”
“That’s right！” Zhang Fu nodded in deep agreement and took another look at the Space Ring in Yang Kai’s hand. “This brat was able to withstand an attack from Lord Li and not die. It seems he’s not an easy target. Such a person must have a lot of good stuff. Later, we’ll split the contents of his ring fifty-fifty.”
“No problem！” Liu Dong nodded.
In just a few words, the two of them divided up Yang Kai’s wealth. Anyway, Lord Li only said to bring the corpse back and didn’t mention bringing the things back. Naturally, these things could line their own pockets. With Lord Li’s status, he surely wouldn’t take a fancy to them and wouldn’t pursue this matter either.
“You want my things？” The corner of Yang Kai’s mouth turned up slightly, and he said coldly, “I’m afraid you don’t have the life to take them！”
“You brat, how dare you be so arrogant！” Liu Dong snorted coldly. The next moment, his complexion suddenly changed drastically, his eyes bulged out, and he stared fixedly at the position where Yang Kai had originally been, but there was already no one there.
Yang Kai had actually disappeared without a trace.
Suddenly, a faint chill assaulted the back of his neck, and in his ears, Zhang Fu’s horrified and desperate cry rang out: “Brother Liu, quickly dodge!”
Liu Dong was after all a Return to Void 3-layer Jing expert. The moment he discovered Yang Kai’s disappearance, he realized something was wrong. Now, upon hearing Zhang Fu’s reminder, there was no hesitation. With a prompted of his Saint Yuan, he was about to dodge from the spot.
But what? He was the Saint Yuan in his body was actually being crazily suppressed by a force field flowing extremely slowly, and even the void around him had completely solidified.
Such a powerful force field？ Liu Dong’s courage and gallbladder were torn apart, and he quickly urged his own force field to resist.
This was an inevitable means and process in the duel between Void Returning Mirror powerhouses. Often, the strength of the force field could determine the final outcome.
But the fact made him extremely desperate. As soon as his own force field just diffused out of his body, it was like snowflakes encountering the scorching sun, instantly dissolving and actually unable to form at all！
In this instant, a coldness came from the neck, and then his vision was suddenly reversed. Through his own eyes, he saw a headless corpse standing in the void, and the spurted out like a fountain from the neck magnificent and spectacular.
The clothes this person was wearing, the figure, and the ring on his hand… seemed to be the same as his own.
Could it be that I have been killed？
Liu Dong’s forehead felt cold, and he was vaguely aware of something, but soon, darkness descended and devoured all his consciousness and vitality.
Can you talk now? When Yang Kai reappeared, he was already standing three zhang in front of Zhang Fu, with a rosy complexion. There was no sign of the previous injury at all, and he was clearly in perfect health.
He stared coldly at Zhang Fu. On his fingers, a golden blood thread, as if spiritual, was flying and twining, like a spiritual snake ready to bite someone, spitting out its snake core.
Zhang Fu trembled all over. A cool feeling hit him from head to toe, almost making his feet cramp！
Liu Dong, who had the same strength as himself, was decapitated by the other party in one glance.
Just now, in that split second, he only saw a glimmer of golden light flash at Liu Dong’s neck. He didn’t even clearly see how Yang Kai made his move.
In this world, there is such a powerful Void Return Stage cultivator？
Even if Lord Li were to make a move to kill himself and the others, it would probably be just as easy, right？
Zhang Fu stood there with a pale face, beads of sweat as big as beans oozing from his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.
