Chapter 2152
byAt the Ladder of Years, Yang Kai was extremely anxious and struggled to climb upwards.
Zhang Ruoxi suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, leaving him at a loss, not knowing what kind of danger this little girl had encountered and whether there was any misfortune.
He blamed himself secretly, feeling that if it weren’t for his whim to let Zhang Ruoxi climb this Ladder of Time with him, such a thing wouldn’t have happened.
Just as he was in a hurry, suddenly a brilliant light flashed above, and a figure appeared.
Yang Kai was stunned and looked up, dumbfounded.
Zhang Ruoxi was actually standing at the very top of the Ladder of Time, smiling and looking at him. Her hair, which should have turned snow-white, was still as black as ink at this moment.
Illusion？” Yang Kai was a bit at a loss. He clearly saw Zhang Ruoxi disappear strangely just now, clearly saw the power of time erode her body and make her youth fade away, but now she appeared in front of him safe and sound, and even had already reached the top position.”
All of this seemed so unreal.
Yang Kai quickened his pace, and after a stick of incense, he finally came to the top panting.
As soon as he set foot here, the power of time lingering around his body disappeared instantly. Looking back, this Ladder of Time also became ordinary, and it seemed that it no longer possessed that miraculous and great power.
What happened just now？” Yang Kai took a breath and quickly asked.”
It was Ruoxi who was reckless.” Zhang Ruoxi replied in a low voice with a look of guilt on her face. “I was only immersed the joy of obtaining power just now and actually forgot Mr.’s instructions… By the time I reacted, it was already too late.
Then how did you…
“It was a powerful monster beast that saved me…” Zhang Ruoxi replied timidly, observing Yang Kai’s expression as she spoke, for fear that he would be angry.
“A powerful monster beast？” Yang Kai’s expression was Stunned . “There is a monster beast in the Temple of Time？ What kind of monster beast is it？”
At this moment, Yang Kai was shocked. The Temple of Time had not appeared for tens of thousands of years, and this time it suddenly and strangely appeared. He thought there were no living beings here at all, but he did not expect to learn from Zhang Ruoxi that there was a powerful monster beast, and it could actually rescue Zhang Ruoxi from the Time Staircase. Its strength was obviously extraordinary. This was enough to make him alert.
“I can’t really say…” Zhang Ruoxi thought about it for a while and didn’t know how to describe it. Suddenly, she giggled again and said, “But… it said its name is Qiongqi！”
“What？” Yang Kai’s eyes instantly widened, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He gulped and said hoarsely, “Qiong… Qi？”
“Yes, that’s what it said.” Zhang Ruoxi nodded and replied. After that, she tilted her head and said, “Sir, what’s wrong with you？ Why is your face so bad… Is there something wrong？ You’re sweating a lot…”
As she spoke, she also took out a silk scarf, stood on tiptoe, and gently wiped Yang Kai’s face.
“Hehe…” Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, really not knowing what to say.
“Sir, are you okay？” Zhang Ruoxi asked softly.
“It’s okay. Everything is fine.” Yang Kai replied subconsciously. Then, looking at Zhang Ruoxi, he said, “Are you sure it said its name is Qiongqi？”
“Yes. That’s what it said.”
“Didn’t it do anything to you？”
Zhang Ruoxi shook her head blankly： “No！”
As she spoke, she said with a happy expression： “By the way, it also gave me something.”
“What？”
Zhang Ruoxi pursed her lips and smiled. Her Saint Yuan trembled, and a rosy glow suddenly bloomed from her delicate body, dazzling the eyes.
Yang Kai narrowed his eyes and looked over, his heart shocked！
But seeing that a pink close-fitting treasure garment suddenly appeared on Zhang Ruoxi’s body. The halo on the treasure garment circulated, beautiful and magnificent. Dao after dao of Emperor Rhyme circulated on it. On the treasure garment, a full power of Emperor Prestige was emitted…
Emperor Treasure！
And it was actually a defensive Emperor Treasure！
What exactly was going on？ Zhang Ruoxi suddenly disappeared strangely on the Time Ladder. When she came back, she told him that she had seen a demonic beast named Qiongqi. That demonic beast not only didn’t do anything to her, but also casually gave her a defensive Emperor Treasure！
Yang Kai was completely at a loss…
After Zhang Ruoxi urged the form of the treasure garment, her whole person was also set off by this Emperor Treasure, looking glorious and extremely beautiful. She looked at Yang Kai timidly and said, “Does this look good…”
Yang Kai gave a dry laugh and said, “Good-looking！”
This is a supreme treasure！ How could it be summarized by just the word ‘good-looking’？ Yang Kai was howling madly in his heart. Although he had as many as five supreme treasures in his hands, none of them was of the defensive type, which showed how rare a defensive supreme treasure was.
“Qiongqi said, it’s called the Feng Cai Xia Yi！” Zhang Ruoxi explained. “I don’t really like the pink color, but since sir said it looks good, that’s fine.”
“Well… it’s also a kind of intention that others gave it to you.” Yang Kai tried hard to calm himself down. “Next time you see that person, you must thank it well.”
“Ruoxi remembers.” Zhang Ruoxi nodded respectfully.
“Put it away first. Don’t activate its form unless it’s a last resort, otherwise it is very likely to cause big trouble.”
“Yes.” As Zhang Ruoxi spoke, she moved her divine sense, and the light of the Feng Cai Xia Yi converged. With a flash of brilliance, the supreme treasure disappeared.
“By the way, Ruoxi… did that Qiongqi say anything else to you？” Yang Kai asked cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoxi thought for a while and said, “It asked me to tell sir that if there is a chance to enter the final position, be sure to choose the thing that seems the most useless.”
“Choose the thing that seems the most useless？” Yang Kai frowned and asked in confusion, “What does that mean？”
Zhang Ruoxi shook her head： “I don’t know either. After it said that, it sent me back.”
After getting along for such a long time, Yang Kai also knew very well that this little girl had a simple and kind personality. There was no way she would hide anything from him or deceive him. So he didn’t ask any more questions. He just carefully inquired about the situation after she met with Qiongqi, but didn’t get much information.
This matter made Yang Kai feel extremely incredible. In the end, he could only think that this was Zhang Ruoxi’s good fortune. Otherwise, how could a Martial Artist at the Second-Order Void Returning Realm, after seeing a fierce beast like Qiongqi, not only return safely but also be given an Emperor Treasure like the Phoenix-Colored Cloud Dress?
Subsequently, Yang Kai asked Zhang Ruoxi to enter the Little Mysterious Realm and sat alone at the top of the Time Staircase to calm his mind a little.
After a long time, he finally stood up.
At the top of the Time Staircase was a large door. Yang Kai had noticed it before. At this moment, if he wanted to leave here, he could probably only do so through this large door.
He reached out his hand and slowly pushed the door open…
Dazzling light came from the front. Yang Kai couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and released his Divine Sense to investigate. After confirming that there was no danger inside, he then stepped in.
A feeling of weightlessness immediately came. It was as if this step had brought his body to another space.
A living being’s aura suddenly appeared, faintly carrying a familiar smell and a strong sense of hostility…
Yang Kai was startled and looked forward. After seeing the situation ahead clearly, he couldn’t help but be startled again.
Where he was now seemed to be a high platform. The platform was circular and occupied an area of more than a hundred feet in diameter. Around the platform, the abyss was dark and there were faint sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling from below, which made people creepy. It seemed to be a magic abyss purgatory. Once falling into it, one would never be able to turn over for eternity.
And when he turned around to look, he couldn’t see the way he came, nor could he see the previous door.
On this high platform, a person stood with a sword in hand, waiting quietly.
The moment Yang Kai appeared, that person’s eagle-like gaze suddenly shot over and fixed on Yang Kai, full of high fighting spirit.
When their eyes met, both of them were Stunned .
Yang Kai grinned and raised his hand to greet that person： “Brother Xiaobai, you are also here. What a coincidence！”
He found that the person on this high platform was actually Xiao Baiyi of Qingyang Temple！
But for some reason, Murong Xiaoxiao, who had always been with him, was not by his side.
While speaking, Yang Kai walked leisurely towards that side. As he walked, he looked around the environment. However, what made himfeel uncertain was that this high platform seemed to be an independent space. There was no way in and no way out, as if it was isolated from the outside world.
Yang Kai slightly furrowed his brows, not knowing what mystery this place held. While he was thinking, a buzzing sound came from the front, and at the same time, a flash of brilliant light passed by.
Yang Kai’s steps halted, and he stopped. That light immediately slashed in front of his toes, almost hurting him.
Yang Kai looked up at Xiao Baiyi and furrowed his brows, saying, “Brother Xiao, what does this mean？”
“Come and fight！” Xiao Baiyi shook his long sword and pointed it at Yang Kai from a distance. The passionate fighting spirit boiled like boiling water.”
Yang Kai’s mouth twitched, and he said, “No need… If you want to fight, wait until we leave the Four Seasons Land, and I’ll accompany you to fight. Here… forget it！”
Xiao Baiyi slowly shook his head, his face as cold as ice, and said in a deep voice, “Precisely because it’s here, that’s why we must fight！”
When Yang Kai heard this, as if he had thought of something, his complexion sank, and he said, “Brother Xiao means… only one of us can leave here？”
Xiao Baiyi said, “It seems you’re not too stupid!” He loudly shouted, “This is the Debate Platform. Only the winner has the qualification to move forward!”
As he was speaking, Yang Kai had already noticed that above the platform, three large characters formed purely of energy were suspended in mid-air. They were precisely the three characters ‘Debate Platform’.”
In an instant, he understood.
Xiao Baiyi was waiting here, probably waiting for an opponent for the debate！ It was just that he unfortunately ran into him.
With these thoughts in mind, Yang Kai’s expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, “It seems… this battle is truly inevitable！”
“That’s right！”
“The winner continues to move forward, and the loser… what’s the consequence？” Yang Kai asked.
Xiao Baiyi shook his head. “I don’t know. Probably just death！”
After saying that, he snorted coldly and said, “What, are you afraid？”
Yang Kai shook his head with a wry smile and said, “No, it’s just… I don’t want to kill you, Brother Xiaobai! We have no grudges or enmities. Although you seem to have some opinions about me, we still entered the Four Seasons Land together. If I really kill you here, how can I explain it to Elder Gao and the others when we go back?
