Looking around, Yang Kai immediately discovered the commotion surrounding the High Heaven Pavilion members, and although it wasnβt immediately clear what had happened, he realized that something was wrong and his expression couldnβt not help but sink.
Β
βSenior Brother Yang, Senior Sister Su!β Β Li Yun Tian shouted tearfully, βBrother Suβ¦ Brother Su was stabbed!β
Β
Su Yanβs beautiful face suddenly discoloured and her figure flickered as she rushed into the crowd, Yang Kai following close behind.
Β
Staring at the scene before him, Yang Kaiβs eyes narrowed as wrath began filling his face.
Β
In the middle of the crowd, Su Mu had already gone pale, kneeling limply on the ground. A sword was inserted in his right chest and thrust straight out his back. With blood leaking from his mouth and wound, his vitality slowly draining as he struggled for each breath, cringing the whole time as he endured his urge to scream.
Β
One of the Martial Uncles from High Heaven Pavilion sat behind him, his hands pressed against his back as he poured his True Qi into Su Mu.
Β
Su Yanβs eyes quickly became wet.
Β
She and Su Mu were real brother and sister. Seeing her younger brother in such a miserable state, how could she not feel tearful?
Β
Yang Kai pushed open the crowd and quickly stepped forward, reaching out and grabbing Su Muβs wrist, examining his condition for a moment before squeezing open Su Muβs mouth and feeding him some Myriad Drug Milk.
Β
Bracing Su Mu, Yang Kai pulled out the long sword inserted into his chest, bringing with it a splash of blood.
Β
Quickly using his True Qi to seal the flow of blood to Su Muβs wound, he turned to Su Yan and gently comforted, βHeβll be alright.β
Β
Su Yan nodded lightly.
Β
Having fed him the Myriad Drug Milk, Su Muβs life wouldnβt be in any danger, and may even turn this tragedy into a blessing. At the very least, his constitution and strength would be improved, butβ¦ if it wasnβt for Yang Kai and Su Yanβs swift appearance, if they had taken even half an hour longer to defeat the four Qiu and Kang Family masters, things may have turned out very different.
Β
Even if Su Mu didnβt die, he would likely end up crippled for life!
Β
Standing slowly, Yang Kaiβs expression became incredibly calm as he turned and stared at Kang Zhan standing nearby.
Β
Kang Zhan suddenly felt his mouth go dry. Seeing Yang Kai stare silently at him made him realize this time things would not end simply.
Β
βWho did it?β Yang Kai stared at Kang Zhan and asked solemnly.
Β
Kang Zhan swallowed and hesitated, βNinth Young Lord, this was just an accidentβ¦β
Β
βWho did it!β
Β
Kang Zhanβs brow furrowed. Although he knew Yang Kaiβs strength was tyrannical, as the leader of this operation and one of the Young Lords of the Central Capital, he naturally couldnβt act too timid, quickly saying, βNinth Young Lord, this is the Inheritance War. Itβs normal for one or two people to be injured or killed. Β You and I are enemies, and your friendβs life isnβt in any danger. Even if he really died, thatβs all there is to it. Has Ninth Young Lord not taken the lives of many others during this war?β
Β
βIβve indeed taken many lives.β Yang Kai didnβt deny Kang Zhanβs claim, βIf the relatives and friends of those people want to take revenge on me, they are welcome to seek me out. Β As such, now that one of my friends has been hurt, I have to take revenge for him, so I must know who did it.β
Β
Kang Zhan suddenly froze up. Where there are contradictions and resentments, there is revenge. Since he just said that injuries and death are perfectly normal, what right did he have now to stop Yang Kai from seeking revenge? Β Whatβs more, the two of them had previously agreed that the people of High Heaven Pavilion would not be harmed in this fight as long as they didnβt intervene.
Β
Now that someone from High Heaven Pavilion had been seriously wounded in violation of that agreement, Kang Zhan really didnβt have any moral ground to stand on.
Β
Kang Zhan fell into a dilemma, if he was to sell out someone on his side just like that, he would appear spineless, but he really was afraid of what Yang Kai might do if he continued to feign ignorance.
Β
βIt was them!β Β Li Yun Tian suddenly stood up and angrily shouted, point his finger towards the far side of the crowd, βThose two groups are the ones who wanted to kill Brother Su!β
Β
Turning his eyes in the direction of Li Yun Tianβs pointed finger, Yang Kai saw none other than Nan Sheng and and Xiang Chu.
Β
Turning his gaze towards them as well, Kang Zhan frowned deeply as he suddenly discovered that Nan Sheng and Xiang Chu had at some point quietly slipped away and returned to their own camps.
Β
The two of them had escaped, leaving him behind to wipe their asses. Kang Zhan was naturally furious!
Β
βThem huh? Β I understand.β Β Yang Kai nodded lightly before turning his gaze back to Kang Zhan, coldly saying, βYoung Lord Kang, I told you that the people from High Heaven Pavilion not participating in this battle was for your own good! Β It seems like you didnβt believe me when I said that if they were to suffer any losses I wouldnβt be able to stop myself from killing you.β
Β
Kang Zhan was momentarily dumbstruck, his eyes quickly filling with fear.
Β
He discovered that the aura Yang Kai was projecting had suddenly become violent and bloody as he released a thick murderous intent.
Β
AlmostΒ subconsciously, Kang Zhan retreated as Yang Kai glared at him, raised his hand, and stabbed the sword which had formerly been pierced through Su Muβs right chest towards him.
Β
Kang Zhan face went pale, never having imagined that once Yang Kai said he would kill, he really would kill. Β Hastily pushing his True Qi and using his strongest Martial Skill, he tried to resist, but against the devastating force of Yang Kaiβs thrust, Kang Zhanβs attempt to defend himself was meaningless.
Β
*Puβ¦*
Β
Kang Zhan let out a strained cough as his right chest was pierced by the long sword, just like Su Mu. Β Under the huge force of this strike, he stumbled back a dozen steps before finally stabilizing his stance.
Β
His whole body trembling violently, Kang Zhan stared towards Yang Kai in total disbelief.
Β
The entire crowd went dead silent, all of their faces showing utter shock!
Β
For the first time in the Inheritance War, one of the Young Lords from the Central Capital Eight Great Families had been injured, seriously injured at that!
Β
Usually, it was impossible for any of the Young Lords from the Eight Great Families involved in Inheritance War to suffer real harm, much less have to worry about their lives. Β No one had ever dared to kill them; at most, they would defeat them and force them to withdraw.
Β
But now, this age old precedent that had been maintained for countless years had been broken.
Β
Kang Zhan slowly lowered his head and stared at the long sword in his chest. Β Even as the dull pain gradually began to spread from his wound, he still couldnβt believe that Yang Kai had really stabbed him; his courage had simply reached the point where he didnβt fear the Heavens.
Β
βNinth Young Lordβ¦β Kang Zhan muttered, his mouth filling with blood and his breathing becoming laboured.
Β
Yang Kai simply glared at him coldly and said, βIf you werenβt from the Eight Great Families, I would kill you where you stand!β
Β
Kang Zhanβs face paled visibly as an icy chill tightly gripping his heart. Β He didnβt dare say another word, quickly sinking to the ground before taking out a high grade healing pill and swallowing it.
Β
As the wind whistled across the battlefield, Yang Kai stepped forward, releasing a pressure towards the crowd that felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, each of them feeling the breath of death upon their necks.
Β
From the people Yang Zhao had deployed, besides Kang Zhan who was focused on healing himself, the four ice sculptures a short distance away, and the dozen plus masters battling Ying Jiu, everyone else had all gathered in one place.
Β
Headed by Qiu Zi Ruo, all of them had a look of panic on their face.
Β
βWhat should I do? What do I do?β Β Qiu Zi Ruo muttered, his face pale as he anxiously asked the people around him.
Β
This timeβs operation was supposed to be directed by Kang Zhan, but now that he had been seriously wounded, this burden naturally fell to Qiu Zi Ruo.
Β
Facing such a strong and ruthless character like Yang Kai, who hadnβt even hesitated to stab Kang Zhan through his chest, Qiu Zi Ruo couldnβt summon any courage to resist, he was afraid that if he were to try putting up a strong front, his fate would be the same as Kang Zhanβs.
Β
Unfortunately for him, since he had no idea what to do, how could anyone else?
Β
βNan Sheng, all of this stemmed from your actions! You tell me, what we should do now?β Β Qiu Zi Ruo turned and yelled at Nan Sheng.
Β
Nan Shengβs previously domineering and arrogant attitude had vanished, replaced with fear and depression as he licked his dry lips, saying nothing.
Β
Seeing Qiu Zi Ruoβs flustered reaction, a hint of disdain and hostility flashed across Xiang Chuβs eyes as he said, βYoung Lord Qiu, Yang Kai is just one man. What is there to fear? Β What he and Young Lord Kang said was the truth: In the Inheritance War, thereβs nothing wrong with one or two people being injured or dying. Whatβs more, that kid isnβt even dying. Yang Kai is clearly just raising a fuss over a trivial matter, he has no right to criticize our actions! Β Now is still a good opportunity for us to eliminate Yang Kai. Young Lord Qiu should act decisively and grab it, all of us await your orders.β
Β
βBullshit!β Β Qiu Zi Ruo roared, βYang Kai and Young Lord Kang both warned you two not to touch those High Heaven Pavilion people. Β Moreover, Yang Kai also just showed mercy to our people, but youβ¦ youβ¦ damn your eighteen generations of ancestors!β
Β
Xiang Chu expression blackened, deeply disappointed with Qiu Zi Ruoβs weakness.
Β
As these two spoke, Yang Kai had already approached to within ten meters of the crowd; he was just one man facing seven forces, yet he showed no fear. Β Although all of the top masters were occupied or disabled, his enemy still had a massive numerical advantage including several Immortal Ascension masters.
Β
βQiu Zi Ruo,β Yang Kai shouted, βYou are Qiu Yi Mengβs brother. I donβt want to embarrass you, so stand aside.β
Β
A look of joy flashed across Qiu Zi Ruoβs face but, just as he was about to open his mouth and agree, he paused, furrowed his brow, and shook his head, βNinth Young Lord, your offer, this Qiu will have to decline.β
Β
Yang Kai nodded, βSeems you have some backbone!β
Β
Without saying anything else, a light suddenly flashed, and a giant bone shield appeared in his hands.
Β
βItβs that Mysterious Grade artifact!β Β Qiu Zi Ruo and others looked slightly confused.
Β
Yang Kai had only used this artifact once in public during the attack on Yang Kangβs mansion; as such, everyone knew how outstanding the defensive strength of this artifact was and that it had the ability to swallow True Qi based attacks. Β With it equipped, Yang Kaiβs defense could be said to be impregnable.
Β
But at this moment, why had Yang Kai summoned it? Β This act made everyone here feel quite puzzled. Did Yang Kai perhaps want to consolidate his defence before attacking?
Β
Before they could think through all of this thought, a dangerous aura began filling the air.
Β
Thin bolts of lightning began flashing across the bone shieldβs surface before a violent flash of energy burst forth from its gaping mouth.
Β
*Xiu xiu xiuβ¦*
Β
A lifelike meter-thick lightning dragon rushed out from the mouth of the bone shield, coiling through the air. Reaching several tens of meters in length, a potent destructive aura radiated from it as it stared down the remaining members of the seven forces.
Β
βHow is this possible?β Qiu Zi Ruo exclaimed.
Β
There were many kinds of artifacts out there but they could broadly be grouped into three categories, offensive, defensive, and auxiliary. Β This bone shield of Yang Kaiβs was clearly used for defense, so how could it suddenly display such great offensive might?
Β
On top of that, this lightning dragon seemed was something they had witnessed before!
Β
βItβs the power from Yang Kangβs Mysterious Grade artifact!β Β Xiang Chu screamed and suddenly realized that the bone shield in Yang Kaiβs hand could not only swallow True Qi attacks but could also store and then release them.
Β
This giant lightning dragon was clearly the ability Yang Kangβs Mysterious Grade artifact had displayed when he and Yang Kai had fought more than two months ago.
Β
At that time, this lightning dragon must have been swallowed up by Yang Kaiβs bone shield, and now he was preparing to unleash it.
