Chapter 501

Looking around, Yang Kai immediately noticed the commotion over at Lingxiao Pavilion. Although he didn’t know exactly what had happened, he also realized that something was amiss, and his face couldn’t help but darken.

“Senior Brother Yang, Senior Sister Su！” Li Yuntian shouted heartbreakingly, “Young Master Su… Young Master Su was stabbed by someone！”

Su Yan’s beautiful face suddenly lost its color, and her white figure turned into a stream of light and rushed into the crowd. Yang Kai followed closely behind.

Looking around, he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes, and his face was Tieqing.

In the crowd, Su Mu’s face was pale, sitting cross-legged on the ground. In his right chest, a sharp sword was still inserted, penetrating through his body. Blood foam continuously oozed from his mouth and nose. His qi and blood were unstable, and he was panting heavily, like the hard blockage when an old bellows in a blacksmith’s shop was pumped.

A senior uncle of Lingxiao Pavilion was behind him, with his hand pressing against his back, infusing true yuan.

Su Yan’s eyes suddenly turned red.

She and Su Mu had a relationship of siblings. Seeing her younger brother in such a tragic situation, how could she not feel heartbroken?

Yang Kai pushed aside the crowd, quickly stepped forward, reached out and put his hand on Su Mu’s wrist to check for a while. Then he pinched open Su Mu’s mouth and flicked some Wan Yao Ling Ru into it with his fingers.

As soon as the Ling Ru entered the mouth, Yang Kai reached out and pulled out the long sword inserted in Su Mu’s right chest, bringing up a spray of hot blood.

He sent out several strands of true yuan to seal the flow of blood at the wound of Su Mu and comforted Su Yan, saying, “It’s okay.”

Su Yan nodded slightly.

With the Wan Yao Ling Ru, Su Mu really wouldn’t be in danger of losing his life. Maybe he could even turn bad luck into good fortune and gain some improvement in strength. But… if he and Su Yan hadn’t come out in time and it was half an hour later, it would be hard to say what the outcome of Su Mu would be.

Even if he didn’t die, he might also suffer from lifelong disabilities！

Slowly standing up, Yang Kai’s expression was calm. He turned around and looked at Kang Zhan who was standing aside.

Kang Zhan suddenly felt his lips a little dry. Yang Kai’s silence made him at a loss, and he immediately realized that this time it might be bad.

“Who did it？” Yang Kai stared at Kang Zhan and asked softly.

Kang Zhan swallowed his saliva and hesitated, “Ninth Young Master, this is just an accident…”

“Who did it！”

Kang Zhan frowned. Although he knew very well how powerful Yang Kai was, he was the person in charge of this operation and also a young master of the Central Capital. Naturally, he wouldn’t show too much timidity and said in a deep voice, “Ninth Young Master, this is a battle for the throne. It’s a very normal thing for one or two people to die or be injured. You and I are enemies. Not to mention that this friend is not in danger of losing his life now, even if he really died, it wouldn’t matter. Are there few people who died under the hands of the Ninth Young Master？”

“There are indeed quite a few.” Yang Kai nodded. “I have indeed killed many people. If the relatives and friends of those people want to take revenge, they can just come and look for me. Now that someone has injured my person, I also want to take revenge. So I want to know who did it.”

Kang Zhan was suddenly at a loss for words. Yes, pay back grievances with grievances and pay back grudges with grudges. You can kill and injure people, but do you still have to stop others from taking revenge？ Moreover, the two of them had previously agreed that the people of the Lingxiao Pavilion would not interfere in this battle.

Under this premise, since someone from the Lingxiao Pavilion was severely injured, Kang Zhan really couldn’t argue his case.

But it was impossible for Kang Zhan to betray the people on his side. That would make him seem too spineless and afraid of Yang Kai.

“It was that person！” Li Yuntian suddenly stood up indignantly, pointed to the side, and said, “Just now, two groups of people came over from there. It was that person who wanted to kill Young Master Su！”

Following the direction he pointed, Yang Kai cast his gaze towards Nan Sheng not far away.

Kang Zhan frowned. He suddenly discovered that Nan Sheng and Xiang Chu had slipped away to their own camp without a sound at some point.

He was left here to clean up their mess, but they sneaked away quietly. Kang Zhan was suddenly extremely angry in his heart！

“I see！” Yang Kai nodded slightly, glanced at Kang Zhan obliquely, and said, “Young Master Kang, I said that not letting the people of Lingxiao Pavilion participate in the battle is for your own good！ If they suffer casualties, I will really go on a killing spree. It seems that you don’t believe it very much.”

Kang Zhan was stunned, and then his eyes were filled with horror.

He found that the aura of Yang Kai’s whole person suddenly became violent and bloody, and the strong killing intent soared into the sky.

Subconsciously, Kang Zhan quickly stepped back. Yang Kai looked at him coldly, raised his hand, and the sharp sword pulled out from the right chest of Su Mu, wrapped in a cold light, shot towards Kang Zhan.

Kang Zhan’s complexion changed drastically. He didn’t expect Yang Kai to strike so quickly. In a hurry, he unleashed his martial skills to defend, but he didn’t know that this long sword contained a destructive force that a martial artist of his level simply couldn’t block.

Puff…

Kang Zhan let out a muffled groan. His right chest was pierced by the long sword. Just like Su Mu’s encounter earlier, under the huge force, he even retreated more than a dozen steps in succession before barely stabilizing his steps.

With his eyes trembling, Kang Zhan looked at Yang Kai in disbelief.

Everyone was silent, their faces filled with horror！

Since the beginning of the succession battle until now, finally a young master from one of the eight great families in Zhongdu has been injured, and what’s more, it’s a serious injury！

When the young masters and young ladies from the eight great families participate in the succession battle, it’s generally impossible for them to be injured, let alone in danger of losing their lives. No one dares to kill them. At most, they will just defeat them and make them back down.

But now, this precedent that has been maintained for countless years has been broken.

Kang Zhan blankly lowered his head and glanced at the long sword on his chest. The stinging pain gradually spread. Even at this moment, he still couldn’t believe that Yang Kai had such courage, simply reaching the point of being lawless.

“Ninth Young Master…” Kang Zhan murmured, his mouth full of the smell of blood, and his breathing also became extremely difficult.

Yang Kai cast a cold glance at him. “If you weren’t from the Eight Great Families, you would surely die today！”

Kang Zhan’s face twitched, and a chill spread in his heart. Not daring to be brave and tough, he quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and took out a medicinal pellet to swallow.

The strong wind whistled, and Yang Kai stepped forward, as if a mountain poured with blood was pressing down. Everyone felt the breath of death.

Among the group of people from Yang Zhao’s residence, except for Kang Zhan who was healing his wounds with his cultivation, the four Divine Movement 5-layer experts from the Eight Great Families were frozen into ice sculptures, and more than a dozen experts were held back by Ying Jiu. The rest had all gathered together at this moment.

Led by Qiu Ziruo, they all looked over here in horror.

“What should we do？ What should we do？” Qiu Ziruo’s face turned pale, and he kept asking the people around him.

This operation was supposed to be commanded by Kang Zhan, but now that he couldn’t protect himself, this heavy burden naturally fell on Qiu Ziruo.

Facing such a powerful Yang Kai who even dared to seriously injure Kang Zhan, Qiu Ziruo simply doesn’t have the courage to resist. He was afraid that he would have the same encounter as Kang Zhan.

He had no idea, and how could the others have any ideas？

“Nan Sheng, the matter you caused, tell me what we should do now？” Qiu Ziruo turned his head and roared at Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng’s previous arrogance and domineering had long since disappeared. Hearing this, she was slightly absent-minded biting her dry lips and saying nothing.

Xiang Chu’s eyes, however, flashed a hint of disdain and ferocity, and he said, “Young Master Qiu, no matter how powerful Yang Kai is, he is only one person. What’s there to be afraid of? Besides, Young Master Kang also said that this is a battle for the throne. The death or injury of one or two people doesn’t matter, and not to mention that person is not dead yet. Yang Kai is clearly making a mountain out of a mold hill. Even if this matter is reported back to the central capital he won’t be able to stand on his feet! Now is a good opportunity to get Yang Kai out of the game. Young Master Qiu must seize it well. We are willing to listen to your orders.”

“Bullshit！” Qiu Ziruo roared, “Yang Kai and Young Master Kang had an agreement in advance. You insisted on provoking the people of Lingxiao Pavilion. Moreover, Yang Kai showed mercy to our people just now. On the contrary, it’s you… I fuck your ancestors for eighteen generations！”

Xiang Chu’s face turned black when he was scolded, and he was suddenly extremely disappointed with Qiu Ziruo’s cowardly performance.

While speaking, Yang Kai had already walked twenty zhang in front of the crowd. Standing alone, facing the forces of seven families, he was not afraid at all. Although the top experts of these forces had been restrained, there were still some people, and there were even some Divine Movement Realms.

“Qiu Ziruo.” Yang Kai shouted loudly, “You are Qiu Yimeng’s younger brother. I don’t want to make things difficult for you. Get out of the way.”

A hint of joy immediately appeared on Qiu Ziruo’s face. Just as he was about to nod in agreement, he suddenly reacted and quickly shook his head, saying, “Ninth Young Master, Qiu mou regrets that he cannot comply with this request.”

Yang Kai nodded and said, “You still have a bit of backbone！”

Without saying anything more, a flash of radiance suddenly appeared in his hand, and a bone shield with a gloomy yin energy appeared.

“It’s that Mysterious Grade Secret Treasure！” The complexions of Qiu Ziruo and the others changed slightly.

Yang Kai had used this bone shield once when attacking Yang Kang’s residence last time and also just now. Naturally, everyone knew the power of its defense and that it could devour energy attacks. With this bone shield in hand, Yang Kai’s defense could almost be said to be impregnable.

But at this moment, Yang Kai took it out, which made everyone a bit confused. They secretly guessed whether Yang Kai was going to defend？

Before the thought was even finished, a dangerous aura suddenly surged in the heaven and earth.

On the bone shield, some black electric awns flickered, and in the open mouth of the beast in the center of the bone shield, the energy was violent.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

One after another, electric dragons like human legs suddenly shot out from the mouth of the beast on the bone shield. Each one swayed gracefully and vividly. With a body more than ten zhang long, they charged towards the gathering place of the seven forces with a world-destroying momentum.

“How is this possible？” Qiu Ziruo exclaimed in surprise.

Secret treasures are divided into many types. There are defensive ones, offensive ones, and auxiliary ones. The bone shield in Yang Kai’s hand is clearly a defensive one, but how could it now become an offensive secret treasure？

Moreover, these lightning dragons seem to have been heard of somewhere！

“This is the power of Yang Kang’s Mysterious Grade secret treasure！” Xiang Chu screamed, suddenly realizing that the bone shield in Yang Kai’s hand could not only devour attacks but also counterattack the devoured attacks.

These lightning dragons were clearly the ability of the Mysterious Grade secret treasure that Yang Kang had displayed when he fought against Yang Kai in a one-on-one battle more than two months ago.

At that time, these lightning dragons were devoured by Yang Kai with the bone shield. After more than two months, they were released by Yang Kai here.
