Chapter 2952
byA sharp green glow took shape like a cone and stabbed straight towards Yang Kai’s chest.
Yang Kai stood there coldly looking at him. A layer of greenish light suddenly emerged on his body surface turning into a strong and powerful protection.
The green glow stabbed on that protection and simultaneously dissipated.
“How could it be?” The Human Emperor was shocked. Yang Kai could perform magic and mobilize the power of the Saint Tree. He naturally knew this. After all, he was also a Wu, and as long as one was a Wu, one could perform magic.
However, without having undergone the baptism of a certain ceremony, why would the Saint Tree automatically protect him？ The reason why the princes and princesses could receive protection and turn the situation around in times of crisis was because they had gone through an extremely complicated baptism ceremony.
At this moment, the Saint Tree gave people a very strange feeling. On the one hand, it did not reject the Human Emperor’s drive, and on the other hand, it was hindering him from killing the enemy as if a disobedient child was doing whatever he wanted, whatever made him happy.
“Sure enough, you wanted to kill me！” Yang Kai sneered, clearly having expected this for a long time.
The Human Emperor didn’t speak, his expression became three times graver. With a change in the incantation in his mouth, he raised his hand and a Thunder Fury blasted towards Yang Kai. The might of that thunder was terrifying, like a flood dragon shaking its head and tail. In the blink of an eye, it blasted in front of Yang Kai, shining brightly and completely enveloping Yang Kai.
The Human Emperor’s face changed again.
When the light fades, it was seen that Yang Kai stood unharmed in the original place, and even his clothes had no creases.
“Why?” The Human Emperor roared, but it was not towards Yang Kai, but towards the Saint Tree instead, a stern father was scolding a playful child with his hair standing on end in anger.
The Saint Tree had spoiled his good deeds twice, making him somewhat unbearable.
Yang Kai said indifferently： “Want to know why？”
The Human Emperor shouted in a low voice: “What did you use!”
Yang Kai snorted: “Don’t you know clearly whether I used means or not? Why deceive yourself!
The Human Emperor gritted his teeth and said: “I am the Human Emperor, how dare you defy me!” It was not known whether these words were said to Yang Kai or to the Saint Tree.
He let out a loud shout, and the incantation rang out in his mouth again.
When his incantation sounded, the Holy Tree suddenly trembled slightly, as if there were some strange changes. Then large amounts of green energy flowed out from the Holy Tree and poured into the Human Emperor’s body, making his momentum rise steadily, and his not-so-tall body suddenly became majestic.
Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs！ You’re so presumptuous！” Seeing this, Yang Kai was furious and also began to chant the incantation. However, the sound of that incantation sounded even more ancient and abstruse, and even more mysterious and difficult to understand than that of the Human Emperor.”
Although he didn’t know what kind of witchcraft the Human Emperor was cast, he could sense some things that were invisible to the naked eye from the Holy Tree. What the Human Emperor did was harmful to the foundation of the Holy Tree, which was no different from killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
It seems that in order to deal with Yang Kai, he has completely disregarded everything else.
If the foundation of the Holy Tree is shaken, the Human Emperor City will probably suffer disaster.
The green energy flowing towards the Human Emperor seemed to be hindered by something, and its speed began to slow down.
Seeing this, the Human Emperor was even more furious, and the sound of his incantation became louder, trying to snatch the power of the Holy Tree from Yang Kai.
Yang Kai looked at him coldly, and his tone and expression did not change at all, firmly adhering to his original intention.
The two of them just stood face to face like this. There was no sword light or shadow, nor any bloody storm. Instead, they launched a battle of magic in a very special way. The winner would take everything, and the loser would be trampled underfoot.
And the key to all this lies in the resonance with the Holy Tree. The deeper the resonance with the Holy Tree, the stronger the power that can be driven.
Both Yang Kai and the Human Emperor are aware of this, so they didn’t attack each other and just ** did their own things well. The Holy Tree doesn’t have a clear mind. It’s just a remnant of will strictly adhering to the will to protect the Wu. No matter which Wu craves s power from it, it will cooperate.
The green light on the Human Emperor’s body flickered on and off. When it was bright, it meant that he had gained a slight advantage in the fight, and when it was weak, it was the opposite.
He suddenly discovered that Yang Kai was an extremely difficult opponent, far more difficult to deal with than he had previously thought.
This guy’s resonance with the Holy Tree was actually no less than that of himself, the Human Emperor who had lived beside the Holy Tree since childhood. If not for this, he would have already dealt with the opponent long ago instead of the current draw between the two sides.
The Holy Tree seemed to have an extremely special sense of intimacy with this outsider, favoring him everywhere and confronting himself.
He suddenly realized that allowing Yang Kai to come here and observe the Holy Tree up close was a mistake. If he had killed him in the Human Emperor’s Palace just now, perhaps it wouldn’t have been so troublesome.
I am the Human Emperor, the king of the human race！ The Human Emperor roared in his heart, hoping that this thought could be transmitted to the Saint Tree, but unexpectedly it had the opposite effect. He clearly felt that the Saint Tree actually had some meaning of rejecting him, as if a troubled child who had been taught a lesson by his father had given birth to a rebellious heart.
This phenomenon made his complexion change drastically.
Although Yang Kai is difficult to deal with, there are still ways to solve him more or less. But if he loses the support of the Saint Tree, then he is just an old man in the Second-Order Emperor Realm. There are countless people in this Human Emperor City who are stronger than him.
The Human Emperor didn’t dare to think about it anymore and could only start with Yang Kai himself.
While chanting the spell, he suddenly transmitted a voice and said, “You have time to compete with this emperor here. It’s better to take the time to care about your woman. If this emperor is not wrong, she should be almost dead by now？”
So what if it’s a dragon race, so what if it’s the leader of all spirits？ There are endless powerhouses emerging in the Human Emperor City. Even the dragon race will suffer losses here.
Yang Kai remained unmoved and said lightly, “My woman doesn’t need my concern. You’d better worry about yourself. Tsk tsk, you’re not young anymore, are you? It seems you don’t have many years left to live. Have you thought about when to pass on the throne? I think several princes are not bad. Especially that Third Prince, his cultivation base is not bad and his temperament is tough. He is very suitable to inherit your position as the Human Emperor. It’s just that he gives people a feeling of being insidious, but no one is perfect. The Second Princess is also good. I don’t know if there is a precedent in the Human Emperor City for a female to be the emperor. If there is, Your Highness you can pass the throne to the Second Princess has great ambitions…
“Shut up！” The Human Emperor shouted angrily.
Yang Kai chuckled and said, “Neither of them is okay? Then it seems that you have the intention to pass the throne to the First Prince? The First Prince is addicted to wine and women and is really not a good candidate. If the Human Emperor City really falls into his hands, I’m afraid there won’t be any good results. At that time, brothers will turn against each other and troubles will arise within the walls. Presumably, you won’t be at peace even after death. No, no. The First Prince is clearly a lump of mud that can’t be supported on the wall but he has the status of eight leaves. It seems that you really dote on the First Prince. Could it be that the biological mother of the First Prince is the person you love, so you love house and house?
The expression of the Human Emperor changed a little. Although it was slight, how could it be hidden from Yang Kai？
Yang Kai continued to fan the flames and said, “It seems that I hit the mark. And looking at your appearance, the person you loved is probably already dead. I didn’t expect you to be such an infatuated person. Presumably, when you were young, you also had a good time with that beauty. But since the dead cannot be brought back to life, please accept my condolences and move on. Memories are also a kind of beauty. Occasionally, when you wake up in the middle of the night with tears wetting your clothes, it’s also a good experience.”
The Human Emperor’s face twitched as if being stabbed in a sore spot. He could no longer bear it and frantically mobilized the power of the Holy Tree.
Yang Kai coldly snorted and said, “You lost！”
As soon as the words fell, the Human Emperor let out a muffled groan and took a few steps back. The only faint green light on his body suddenly dissipated.
The resonance between him and the Holy Tree was actually cut off all of a sudden. He wanted to reconnect with the Holy Tree, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea. The Holy Tree didn’t give any response at all. He knew that his state of mind had fluctuated too much just now, and he was too eager for success. Instead, he was completely defeated in this confrontation.
Even without the protection of the Holy Tree, so what？ This emperor’s cultivation is higher than yours.” The Human Emperor was unwilling to admit defeat. His old body suddenly straightened up, and the cultivation of the Second-Order Emperor Venerable Realm burst out completely. He raised his hand and slapped towards Yang Kai. For a moment, the wind and clouds surged, and the power was unpredictable.
Yang Kai sneered and punched forward. The Emperor Yuan surged on that fist, and the violent power was vented.
When the fist and palm intersected, the Human Emperor was severely injured as if he had been hit hard. He opened his mouth and spat out blood, flew out like a paper kite, and fell heavily to the ground. He didn’t move for a long time.
The sound of footsteps came, and Yang Kai slowly walked in front of him and looked down at him.
The Human Emperor swallowed the hot blood in his throat, stood up tremblingly, and roared： “I am the Human Emperor, the king of the human race. How can you treat me like this？”
“Do you know why you lost？” Yang Kai asked lightly.
The Human Emperor was stunned for a moment. He really wanted to know the answer, but he couldn’t save face. After hesitating for a long time, he said stiffly： “Why？”
A just cause enjoys abundant support, while an unjust cause finds little support! regard the Holy Tree as a power source that can be randomly extracted and as a capital to override all beings. You are wrong.”
The Human Emperor said： “The Holy Tree is such an existence！”
Yang Kai snorted coldly: “Stubborn and unrepentant. It is excusable to make mistakes without knowing the mistakes, but it is unforgivable to make mistakes deliberately. The Holy Tree shelters not your royal family nor the Wu, but the entire human race. But you regard it as your private property. It’s simply ridiculous!
The Human Emperor said： “Nonsense！”
Yang Kai sneered: “I’m talking nonsense?” The entire Human Emperor City is powered by the Holy Tree.It shelters the entire Human Emperor City from the interference of the change of the external laws. Am I talking nonsense? I think you are muddle-headed.”
After resonating with the Holy Tree, Yang Kai clearly felt that the power of the Holy Tree filled the entire Human Emperor City. It is precisely relying on it that the Human Emperor City can remain unchanged and exist forever in this Wheel World.
The Human Emperor said dejectedly, “What’s the point of saying all this now？ This emperor has been defeated. Kill or scrape as you wish.”
Yang Kai squinted at him and said, “When did I say I was going to kill you or scrape you?”
The Human Emperor was stunned and said in surprise, “You are willing to let me go？”
“That depends on your performance.”
The Human Emperor hesitated for a moment and then said, “I wonder… what are your requirements, esteemed one？”
In this situation, even if the person in the front of him wanted to seize the position of the Human Emperor he himself was powerless to resist. Since ancient times, this has been the case in the Human Emperor City. The one who controls the Holy Tree is the Human Emperor, and now the one in control is an outsider.
