Chapter 1859
byLi Maoming had been laughing and joking since he appeared, but at this moment, after hearing Zi Wuji’s words, his expression was extremely serious, and his gaze was cold and stern.
Zi Wuji couldn’t help but shiver. He had no doubt about the authenticity of the other party’s words. He knew that if he really spoke so carelessly again, the other party might really break his hands and feet.
However, from the other party’s reaction, he also learned the status of his mother in the other party’s heart. It was so sacred that it could not be violated, and he was suddenly overjoyed.
After pondering for a while, Zi Wuji said, “It was Wuji who didn’t make himself clear. Venerable Li, please calm your anger. It’s like this…
Zi Wuji didn’t say the following words, but stared at Li Maoming and moved his mouth slightly. Obviously, he was secretly transmitting his voice.
Li Maoming’s face, which had always been calm, suddenly changed greatly, and he exclaimed, “What did you say？ Zi Long he…”
“Absolutely true.” Zi Wuji nodded seriously. “My mother has been losing her appetite and having trouble sleeping due to excessive worry these days. Since Venerable Li was once a friend of my father and mother, could you find an opportunity to persuade my mother？ Wuji is afraid that she will be too sad and something might happen…”
Li Maoming’s heroic body staggered slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. His eyes were complicated, as if he was remembering something, with a sad expression, and he remained silent for a long time.
Zi Wuji didn’t urge either, but instead turned his gaze to the battlefield between Yang Kai and Gong Sunliang. He found that they couldn’t tell the winner for a while and were locked in a stalemate, so he couldn’t help but feel relieved.
After a long time, Li Maoming chuckled softly. That slaughter was extremely dry, and he murmured: Zi Long, you guy, actually… actually…”
He couldn’t say anything more after that, and his voice choked.
“Venerable Li, regarding what Wuji just said, you might as well consider it. Wuji is very worried about my mother’s situation.” Zi Wuji said softly.
Li Maoming took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, glanced at Zi Wuji, and said coldly： “I will naturally go to see her. But it has nothing to do with today’s matter, and this seat will not regard this matter as a deal. If you really have filial piety, then be filial to your mother. Don’t use her as a bargaining chip！ If I find a similar thing again next time, I will definitely not be lenient.”
Zi Wuji’s complexion changed slightly, and he was furious in his heart, but on the surface he had to nod submissively： “What Venerable Li taught is correct. It’s Wuji’s fault.”
Idiot！ No wonder he lost to his father in the competition back then. He became a loser. He deserves to be lonely until he dies！ Zi Wuji thought in his heart.
In the short time when the two were talking, Yang Kai and Gong Sunliang had already fought hundreds of moves. The energy in the sky was surging, and no one dared to approach the area within a hundred feet around the battle circle of the two. After hundreds of moves, they still couldn’t tell the winner.
Gong Sunliang was impatient and glared at Yang Kai, growling： “Venerable Yang. What benefit did Zi Wuji give you？ It’s worth your shot for him. If you stop now, this old man can give you a greater benefit！”
Yang Kai replied seriously： “This seat is Venerable Zixing. It is a matter of course to take action to defend the peace of Zixing. Why do I need any benefit？”
Gong Sunliang’s eyes were about to split. Although he knew that Yang Kai was telling lies with his eyes open, he had no choice but to do nothing.
His face turned fierce, and he shouted in a low voice： “Since this is the case, then don’t blame this old man for being cruel and ruthless.”
As he spoke, he pinched a magic formula with both hands, and the holy yuan in his body fluctuated.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows, mistaking that this old fellow was about to unleash some profound secret technique, and didn’t dare to let his guard down. He hastily retreated. Although with his strength, he didn’t really put Gongsun Liang in his eyes. But the other party was after all a Void King Realm Stage 2 cultivator. If he really went all out, Yang Kai would still have to be cautious.
However, he saw Gongsun Liang reveal a sinister smile. With a flicker of his figure, he actually split into two, then two into four, four into eight…
In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with Gongsun Liang’s figures, each one vivid and lifelike.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he saw this！
This was undoubtedly a very powerful secret technique. It would have remarkable effects whether used to fight the enemy or to escape.
Moreover, under the spy of his Divine Sense he couldn’t tell for a while which Gongsun Liang was the real body and which was the shadow. Each one was exactly the same.
As soon as this move was unleashed, not only did Yang Kai’s expression become solemn, but Li Maoming, who had been standing in the distance watching the battle, also had a serious look on his face. A pale purple divine light flickered in his eyes as he swept over the countless phantom one by one, seemingly trying to find the real body.
Gongsun Liang’s laughter rang out： “Second Young Master, you forced this old man to do this！ I hope you can bear the consequences！”
After saying that, all the illusion actually ignored Yang Kai and instead shot towards the battlefield.
“Ah…” A shrill cry rang out. A martial artist who was engaged in a fierce battle with one of the Great Elder’s side was suddenly sent flying. A clear handprint appeared on his chest, directly caving in his chest.
In mid-air, this person spat out a mouthful of blood, and blood mixed with shattered internal organs gushed out. Before he even landed, he had already died.
One after another, shrill cries rang out continuously. Each one belonged to a martial artist of Zi Wuji’s side, all of them were experts at the Void Returning Realm.
In the battlefield, the figure of Gong Sunliang was everywhere. Those figures were true and false making it impossible to tell them apart. It seemed that every one of them was real. After they made their move, they could quickly kill off Zi Wuji’s people.
In an instant, everyone was in danger. But whenever a martial artist who was approached by Gong Sunliang showed a panicked expression and used their means to escape.
But in front of a strong person at the Second Layer of the Void King Realm, how could they escape？
In the blink of an eye, several more people were killed. Each one was a backbone under Zi Wuji.
The blue veins on Zi Wuji’s forehead bulged out, his fists were tightly clenched. He turned his head and looked in the direction where Yang Kai was, roaring： “Venerable Yang, quickly stop him！”
Yang Kai stood in mid-air, touching his chin and shaking his head. He said: “Second Young Master, this is making things difficult for others. I can’t see any flaws in this move of the Great Elder. How can I stop it?
This was just a perfunctory response. He was forced into this battle and didn’t want to exert any effort. These people of Purple Star fighting to the death had nothing to do with him. Even if they all died, he wouldn’t care.
He just wanted to stall for time.
Once the Stone Puppet Xiao Xiao rescued Shen Tu and the others, he could immediately leave this place.
However, after standing there and watching for a while, he had already noticed some clues and somewhat understood the mystery of Gong Sunliang’s move. If he used the World-Destroying Demon Eye again to see through the false and find his true body, it wouldn’t be difficult.
Hearing Yang Kai’s irresponsible answer, Zi Wuji felt a tightness in his chest and almost spat out blood.
If his own people were really all killed, then he wouldn’t have to fight anymore. With no people left, what was there to fight for？ After staying in a ferocious expression for a while, Zi Wuji roared： “Since that’s the case, then please ask Venerable Yang to return like for like, blood for blood！”
Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and revealed a sinister smile： “This is easy.”
As soon as the words fell, he flicked his hand and shot out dozens of golden blood threads, which turned into dozens of sharp blades and shot out in all directions like arrows.
Shua shua shua…
The sound of breaking through the air was continuous, and soon, several screams were heard.
Seven or eight Returning Void Stage martial artists were caught off guard for a moment and were hit by the golden blood filaments. Their protective Saint Yuan and secret treasures were instantly broken, and the golden blood filaments penetrated the vital parts of their bodies, directly taking away their vitality.
With Yang Kai’s current cultivation level and his sudden attack, how could these Returning Void Stage martial artists who were in the midst of a bitter struggle resist？
The golden blood filaments shuttled back and forth again, taking the lives of another group of martial artists.
In just over a dozen breaths, the number of people Yang Kai killed was on par with that of Gong Sunliang.
Gong Sunliang was so angry that he was yelling loudly. The Returning Void Stage martial artists were the indispensable backbone force of any power. After all, it was not so easy to promote to the Void King Stage. Often, the strength of a power not only depended on the number of Void King Stages, but also on the number of Returning Void Stages.
After today’s battle, no matter who wins or loses, the Purple Star side will definitely be seriously injured.
This was a result that neither Gong Sunliang nor Zi Wuji wanted to see, but it was an inevitable result.
The end of one era and the arrival of another always came with the payment of blood and life.
In the sky, all the Returning Void Stages and even the Void King Stage 1 martial artists were scared. The current situation was simply like Yang Kai and Gong Sunliang were having a killing competition, comparing who could kill faster, who could kill more, who couldn’t bear it and who would give in first…
In front of these two Void King Stage 2 powerhouses, no one could resist their might.
Li Maoming, who had been standing beside Zi Wuji as if he was not interested in everything in the world, his face also became heavy. He realized that if he didn’t take action again, Purple Star might really be finished.
He never expected that things would develop to this point.
He wanted to take action to stop it, but because of what he had just said, it was not good to shoot himself in the foot.
Just when he was extremely headache, suddenly a low growl came from Gongsun Liang’s side： “Li Maoming, if you still remember the favor from that year, come with this old man and take action together. First, kill this brat！ You don’t want Purple Star to suffer heavy losses, do you？”
Li Maoming frowned and hesitated： “Of course this Li doesn’t want to see brothers killing each other, but the safety of the Second Young Master…”
“This old man won’t make it difficult for you. This old man won’t let the Second Young Master take action. Even if this old man controls Purple Star, he will ensure his glory and wealth for a lifetime and keep him safe and worry-free！”
Li Maoming’s expression struggled.
Zi Wuji looked at Li Maoming in astonishment： “Venerable Li, you won’t…”
“Things have developed to this point, and I have no choice but to take action.” Li Maoming sighed, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one in this world can hurt you mother and son. I will fight to the death to protect you.”
After saying that, his figure moved and disappeared directly on the spot.
Zi Wuji stood there dumbfounded. After a long while, he finally flew into a rage and began to curse loudly, scolding Gongsun Liang for being insidious and despicable, and Li Maoming for going back on his word. He spewed out a stream of swear words without any scruples, completely losing his former suave and refined demeanor.
He was really furious.
Constrained by the favor Gongsun Liang had done him in the past, Li Maoming agreed to join him in dealing with Yang Kai. As a result, in today’s battle, Zi Wuji was completely defeated. Although Li Maoming had said that he would protect his safety and Gongsun Liang had also promised to ensure his prosperity for life, the throne that stood above hundreds of millions of people on Zi Xing was no longer something he could hope to touch.
Unless Yang Kai could fight two against one and defeat both of them at the same time！
But was that possible？ The three of them were all Void King Realm Layer 2 powerhouses, and their strengths should be about the same. It was impossible for one person to defeat two people.
Despair filled Zi Wuji’s eyes.
