Chapter 2431
by“Senior Brother Zhong, what… are you doing? Yu Ying was only now realizing what was happening, looking at Zhong Zhenyong in astonishment not understanding why he suddenly attacked Yang Kai.
After all, along the way, Zhong Zhenyong’s attitude towards Yang Kai had been quite okay, and they had been chatting and laughing. Why did Zhong Zhenyong suddenly turn on him the moment they arrived here？ This was something Yu Ying couldn’t figure out no matter how hard she tried.
“That’s right, Senior Brother Zhong, what are you doing?” Yang Kai looked at Zhong Zhenyong coldly, his face sullen as he said “Has Feng Mou offended you in any way that you would try to kill me in secret!”
“Feng Mou？” Zhong Zhenyong raised his eyebrows and laughed out loud, shouting in a low voice, “Brother Feng, Zhong Mou will only ask you one question. Answer it well, and Zhong Mou will apologize for what just happened. If you can’t answer it… heh heh…”
Yang Kai slowly narrowed his eyes and said, “Ask away, Senior Brother Zhong.”
Zhong Zhenyong’s expression turned serious as he shouted, “Brother Feng, in the Great Wilderness Star Field, which sect are you from？ And how did you meet Junior Brother Yin？”
Upon hearing this, Yang Kai immediately fell into deep thought.
Zhong Zhenyong closely monitored the changes in Yang Kai’s expression, not willing to miss even the slightest detail. Yu Ying stood beside, looking at this one and then that one. Even if she was stupid, she also realized that something was wrong. She couldn’t help but frown and quietly circulated her Source Force, vigilantly staring at Yang Kai.
Moments later, Yang Kai raised his eyes and looked at Zhong Zhenyong, saying, “Brother Zhong, these are… two questions, right？ You don’t keep your word.”
Zhong Zhenyong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: “Whether it’s one or two, just answer them.”
Yang Kai grinned and looked at Zhong Zhenyong thoughtfully, saying, “Brother Zhong seems to have known something.”
This person suddenly attacked him, obviously having obtained some information about him and knowing that this Feng De of his was an impostor.
“Brother Zhong, what’s going on？” Yu Ying asked with an ugly expression.
Zhong Zhenyong snorted coldly and pointed at Yang Kai, saying, “Junior Sister Yu, this guy named Feng De who has been following you is fake.”
“Fake？” Yu Ying was stunned and looked at Yang Kai in surprise.
The real Feng De has already died！”
“Died?” Yu Ying couldn’t help but be a little lost in thought. She murmured, “How could it be?”
If Feng De is dead, then how could this person in front of me know so much information about Senior Brother Yin？ What exactly is the relationship between this person and Senior Brother Yin？ Why did he pretend to be Feng De to approach Senior Brother Yin？ Thinking of how she had been getting along with Yang Kai for so long without any precautions and had not discovered his true face, Yu Ying couldn’t help but shiver.
“The real Feng De died in the starlight passage. This matter was witnessed by Junior Brother Yin with his own eyes. There is absolutely no falsehood. And this person in front of you has some grudges with Junior Brother Yin.” Zhong Zhenyong sneered and looked at Yang Kai sarcastically： “Am I right, Brother Yang！”
He bit the two words “Brother Yang” extremely hard.
Yang Kai raised his eyebrows and said in surprise： “Oh？ You even know my surname. It seems that the one who sent you the message should be Yin Lesheng？”
As he spoke, his eyes lit up slightly and he looked towards the strange dark red star.
Although Zhong Zhenyong did not mention where Yin Lesheng is now, Yang Kai is ninety percent sure that Yin Lesheng is in that star. Otherwise, Zhong Zhenyong would not be able to contact him and then ask about his information.
“That’s right.” Zhong Zhenyong did not mean to deny it. “These things were indeed told to me by Junior Brother Yin. No matter what grudges you have with Junior Brother Yin, you have no chance to take revenge on him.”
As he spoke, a hint of ferocity and greed emerged on Zhong Zhenyong’s face, and the expression in his eyes as he looked at Yang Kai was like that of a hungry wolf looking at a piece of fat meat.
“Who the hell are you？ Why did you lie to me！” Yu Ying was furious beyond measure, her beautiful eyes spitting fire, gritting her teeth and glaring at Yang Kai with a murderous look on her face.
Yang Kai glanced at her and said coldly, “What a heartless woman. I just saved your life earlier, and now you actually dare to show murderous intent towards me. It’s really sad！”
Yu Ying shouted coquettishly, “So what? You dared to lie to me. Then you deserve to die！” She turned her head and said to Zhong Zhenyong, “Senior Brother Zhong, this person has a complete star origin. If we can obtain it, it will be of great benefit to you, Senior Brother.”
Zhong Zhenyong licked his lips and said excitedly, “Of course I know about this.”
In the Netherworld Sect, although he thought that his current strength was not much worse than that of Yin Lesheng, judging from Yin Lesheng’s terrifying progress speed, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed himself. And the biggest source that allowed him to make such rapid progress was his status as the star master, with a complete star origin in his body.
This was an opportunity that no martial artist could ask for.
But now, another martial artist with a complete star origin was right in front of him. This kind of origin was completely different from the broken origin in the Broken Star Sea. If he could obtain it, the benefits to himself would be simply unimaginable. In the future, he wouldn’t have to worry about being surpassed by Yin Lesheng anymore. Since both of them had a complete star origin, then it would be a contest of hard work and perseverance in cultivation. In this regard Zhong Zhenyong was confident that he wouldn’t lose to anyone.
Yang Kai suddenly said, “Is Yin Lesheng really on that star now？”
Zhong Zhenyong coldly snorted and said, “What’s the point of asking these things when you’re about to die？”
Yang Kai grinned and said, “Since we’ve found Yin Lesheng, there’s no need to keep your lives anymore！”
Zhong Zhenyong was stunned when he heard this, and then furiously said, “Kid, you’re so arrogant. You’re the first one to dare to say such things in front of me！ Netherworld Purgatory Banner, quickly accept your death！”
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and sacrificed a black banner. From within the black banner, there came a sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling, setting off gusts of gloomy wind and bringing an endless sense of coldness, as if it could freeze a person’s soul.
And when the Netherworld Purgatory Banner was unfolded, the billowing yin qi even condensed into a substance, like the water of the Netherworld River, surging towards Yang Kai and wrapping him up.
When Yu Ying saw that Zhong Zhenyong had used his trump card right away, her pretty face also changed, and she quickly stepped back to avoid being affected.
“Good stuff！ It should be nice to give it to the Ghost Ancestor.” Yang Kai couldn’t help but brighten his eyes when he saw the Netherworld Purgatory Banner. This strange secret treasure had something in common with the Ghost Ancestor’s Myriad Souls Banner, and they should be of the same origin. However, the grade of this Netherworld Purgatory Banner was much higher than that of the Ghost Ancestor’s Myriad Souls Banner.
Yang Kai even felt a faint imperial might from it.
In other words, this secret treasure should have been refined by a strong Emperor Senior Stage expert and had the embryonic form of an imperial treasure, but it was not completely formed yet. However, as long as Zhong Zhenyong advanced to the Emperor Senior Stage, he could warm and nourish this Netherworld Purgatory Banner with the imperial charm, and it would eventually advance to an imperial treasure.
As expected of a disciple ranked among the top three in a major sect. As soon as he made a move, he seemed extremely extraordinary.
The continuous and noisy howls of ghosts and wolves were like ear-piercing magic sounds, full of magic, enough to affect the minds of any martial artists who were hostile to him. Zhong Zhenyong was so imposing, and it was obvious that he also intended to finish off Yang Kai with one move and not give him any chance to counterattack.
The complete source of the star was simply too attractive to him！
Yang Kai looked solemn and raised his hand slightly, quickly forming seals with both hands.
After several complicated movements, an inexplicable force suddenly spread out in all directions, and the magical power of the law diffused in the void and burst towards the four poles.
Zhong Zhenyong’s eyes bulged, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Because at this moment, he suddenly felt that his thinking and all his movements had been slowed down, and even everything around him seemed to have stopped.
The only thing that didn’t stop was the guy who pretended to be Feng De.
What kind of magical power is this！ Zhong Zhenyong’s complexion changed drastically, and a burst of coolness suddenly rose in his heart.
Although Yang Kai’s seal formula had not been completely formed, Zhong Zhenyong already felt something was wrong. This guy surnamed Yang didn’t seem to be easy to mess with.
In the dark, a whisper came into his ears, shocking his soul.
“The years wither and flourish, like a shuttle and a dream！”
An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly arose. At the critical moment, Zhong Zhenyong bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
With the ejection of the blood essence, the strange stillness around was finally broken, and everything came back to life all of a sudden. But when he looked up, a huge seal formula had already been slapped in front of him, making it impossible for him to avoid.
Boom…
A dull sound came out, and Zhong Zhenyong immediately froze in place.
He didn’t feel the impact he imagined, nor did he notice any sign of injury on himself, but he was horrified to find that a strange force had invaded his body and his vitality and lifespan were passing away at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, it was as if hundreds or thousands of years had passed by his side.
“Brother Zhong！” Yu Ying screamed in horror, her eyes wide open as she stared at Zhong Zhenyong in disbelief, her face filled with horror as if she had seen a terrifying scene.
Zhong Zhenyong seemed to realize something as well. He slightly raised a withered hand that was as thin as a stick and looked at it in front of his eyes. Then, he trembled and asked, “You… what on earth did you… do to me？”
Yang Kai looked at him coldly. With a raise of his hand, a moon blade slashed towards him.
If it was the peak Zhong Zhenyong, perhaps he could have avoided this strike. But at this moment, he was old and decrepit, just like an old man on the verge of death. Ninety percent of his vitality and blood energy had passed away and he simply couldn’t react in time.
The dark moon blade was like a huge saber light that cut through Zhong Zhenyong’s body, directly cutting him in half.
Yu Ying’s face instantly turned pale.
Dead, Brother Zhong Zhenyong was actually dead, just like that, confusedly dead.
This Brother Zhong, who was ranked top three in strength within the sect and could be considered a young talent even in the Eastern Region and the entire Star Realm, was actually killed by a warrior of the same level in the blink of an eye.
If this hadn’t happened right in front of her eyes, Yu Ying would never have believed it no matter what.
But the facts were right in front of her, and she couldn’t doubt anything.
It was only at this moment that she realized Yang Kai had been hiding his strength all along. Earlier, when he was exchanging blows with Chang Hao from Brahma Holy Land and even spat out blood, it was undoubtedly just a charade！ It was ridiculous that she naively thought Yang Kai was really no match for Chang Hao.
