Chapter 96

The sharp sword pierced through the chest, which was a fatal injury.

Yuan Lang could feel his heart contract violently. All the blood in his body burst out, and his vitality quickly disappeared. With great difficulty, he turned his head and finally saw Yang Kai who was blocking behind him.

“Bastard！” A strange look appeared on Yuan Lang’s face. He looked at Yang Kai with unwillingness and anger.

Yang Kai remained silent. He pulled the long sword out of his chest, bringing out a puff of warm blood. Then he suddenly stabbed it in again.

After being stabbed twice, Yuan Lang finally couldn’t bear it anymore. His body went limp and he fell down.

His consciousness was gradually blurring. Before dying, a bitter smile slowly appeared on the corner of Yuan Lang’s mouth.

What bad luck! The fates are truly playing tricks on me! I thought I had this woman cornered in the mountain crevice and had complete control, but I never expected to be cornered myself.

If it weren’t for this special terrain, how could I have been killed without any ability to fight back？

Even if I couldn’t defeat them in a one-on-two battle, there should have been a chance to escape, right？ But now, everything is in vain.

The hunter can also become the prey one day…

“Are you okay？” Yang Kai looked up at Xia Ning Shang .

In fact, as early as when Yuan Lang discovered this little senior sister, Yang Kai had already arrived nearby. However, he didn’t take action immediately. Instead, he waited until Yuan Lang walked into the mountain crevice and engaged in a battle with Xia Ning Shang before launching a surprise attack.

This approach is a bit despicable. After all, Xia Ning Shang didn’t know the situation and was scared for a while. But it is the most time-saving and energy-efficient way to kill the enemy.

“I’m fine. You…” Xia Ning Shang ‘s words were cut off when she saw the half-foot-long wound on Yang Kai’s abdomen and the blood hole on his shoulder.

At this moment, Yang Kai, covered in blood, had a calm face with a hint of concern, and his expression was resolute giving people a sense of stability and reliability unique to men, completely different from his usually frail appearance.

He blocked the mouth of the mountain crevice with his naked upper body. His thin body was as motionless as a mountain, blocking all the wind, rain and hardships, making this narrow mountain crevice as warm as a quiet harbor.

Taking two steps forward slowly, with her small hands trembling, she reached out towards that wound, but didn’t dare to touch it, for fear of hurting Yang Kai. Xia Ning Shang ‘s eye sockets instantly turned red.

Just two hours… What kind of arduous battle did he encounter outside to make himself like this？ How much blood did he have to shed to make himself so bloodthirsty？

In this almost isolated valley, facing the covetous eyes of more than a dozen malicious enemies Xia Ning Shang had a feeling of depending on each other with Yang Kai. Now seeing his tragic situation, how could she not feel distressed?

Every girl has a dream of a hero saving the beauty in her heart.

Although the one who saved herself this time was not a great hero, nor a hero, but just an ordinary junior in the Kaiyuan Realm. Compared with her own strength, the difference was a hundred and eight thousand miles. But in the girl’s heart, there was still inevitably a ripple.

“Minor injury！” Yang Kai said indifferently： “By the way, I found the Nine Yin Condensing Yuan Dew.”

“Oh.” Xia Ning Shang wiped her eyes and didn’t show the expected happiness.

“How exactly should we collect that thing? You should tell me now.” Yang Kai asked. “Otherwise, if we find it again later, it might run away again.”

“We don’t want that anymore.” Xia Ning Shang pulled Yang Kai’s hand, motioning for him to sit down.

“Why don’t we want it anymore？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows. He had gone through so much hardship to come here, wasn’t it for the Nine Yin Condensing Yuan Dew？

Xia Ning Shang ignored him and said softly, “Sit down and talk！”

Yang Kai looked at her suspiciously, and then slowly sat down.

Xia Ning Shang lowered her head, bit her lip, and knelt down in front of Yang Kai on one knee. She reached out and tore a long strip of cloth from her dress, then took out a bottle and poured some ointment on the cloth. She reached around Yang Kai’s body with both hands and wrapped the wound on his abdomen.

Yang Kai let her fiddle with it.

“We’ll just wait here until dawn.” Xia Ning Shang said softly while bandaging Yang Kai’s wound. “After dawn, the Nine Yin and Eight Locking Array will break down on its own, and then we’ll leave here！”

“But we came here…”

“Don’t want it anymore.” Xia Ning Shang interrupted Yang Kai’s words, with an unwavering firmness in her tone. “It’s not worth it for that thing.”

Yang Kai looked at her thoughtfully and furrowed his brows. “I know what you’re worried about, but I’ve already killed nine of them. There are only two left over there.”

“What？” Xia Ningchang suddenly raised her head, her beautiful eyes filled with an expression of incredulity.

“There are still two of them, and there are also two of us. Why should we be afraid of them？” There was madness flickering in Yang Kai’s eyes. “Since they are heartless, we don’t need to be polite to them either！ And there is also the Nine Yin Condensing Yuan Dew. We can’t let this thing go. We can’t give up halfway.”

“You’re lying to me, right？” Xia Ningchang looked at Yang Kai cutely and naively.

“Are you that easy to deceive？” Yang Kai chuckled softly. Unexpectedly, he pulled the wound and hissed in a breath of cold air again.

“Are they really only two people left？”

“Yeah, there are still that Long Hui and the person who injured you.” Yang Kai nodded.

Xia Ningchang was stunned. She originally thought that Yang Kai came back in such a sorry state because he was being hunted down outside. It was already a great fortune that he could escape with his life. But she didn’t expect that he would tell her that within just two hours, he had killed nine enemies！

There were several experts among those people.

How did he do it？

“If… they are only two people left, we really don’t need to be afraid of them.” Xia Ningchang’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. “The only thing I’m worried about now is that after dawn, that True Yuan Jing expert will also recover his strength. In case he chases after us and doesn’t let go, I’m afraid we won’t be able to run far either.”

Yang Kai’s brows raised. “After the formation is broken, his strength can also be restored？”

“Yes.”

“Then we have no choice！” Yang Kai’s expression turned cold and severe.

If they don’t kill that True Yuan Jing expert before dawn, the two of them will surely be captured by him.

“But my strength has only recovered by 20% now. If I really encounter that True Yuan Jing expert, I’m afraid there will still be some trouble.” Xia Ning Shang let out a soft sigh.

“I’ve looted quite a few pills here. See if there are any that you can use？” Yang Kai took out the spoils from the dead and then ran to Yuan Lang’s corpse to search again.

Several bottles of pills were immediately obtained. Yuan Lang seemed to be much wealthier than the others. The pills and banknotes he carried with him were much more than those of others.

“With these Restore Yuan Pills, I should be able to recover 40% of my strength. That’s enough.” There was a hint of excitement on Xia Ning Shang ‘s face.

“You recover first, and I’ll keep watch for you.” Yang Kai also wanted to take this time to recover. Although the spiritual energy in his body was inexhaustible, his physical strength and spirit needed to be nursed.”
