Yang Zhaoβs allies quickly emerged from the mansion and glared at Yang Kai, their expressions filled with anger. However, when they saw Old Demon standing nearby to guard him, fear flashed across their eyes and they unconsciously stepped backwards.
Β
The deterrence of Old Demonβs bloody and cruel methods was immense.
Β
Not long after Old Demon appeared, Qiu Yi Meng also showed up with a group of Yang Kaiβs allies.
Β
After seeing Yang Kaiβs current appearance, the Qiu Familyβs First Young Lady couldnβt help feeling her heart clench, quickly calling out, βYang Kai, what happened? Β Whatβs wrong?β
Β
Huo Xing Chen also instinctively trembled as he felt the malicious aura pulsing from Yang Kaiβs body.
Β
All the people in the spectating crowd were also pointing towards Yang Kai, whispering and discussing whether the Yang Familyβs youngest Young Lord had really fallen onto the Devilβs Path and would soon lose his rational mind.
Β
If this really was the case, it would be the most ironic joke.
Β
The Central Capital Eight Great Families and the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land had always been as incompatible as fire and water. Β The Eight Great Familiesβ cultivators were all charged with eradicating demons, but now, the Yang Familyβs brightest new star and the most hopeful candidate to become its next Patriarch was about to become a demon. Β Such news would be the topic of discussion the world over.
Β
Tang Yu Xian, the Hu Sisters, Dong Qing Han, the Ten Thousand Flower Palace quartet, Luo Xiao Man⦠ many of them directed worried eyes towards Yang Kai.
Β
βAre you stillβ¦?β Β Qiu Yi Meng asked, gazing into the crimson lights which were once Yang Kaiβs eyes, desperately searching for any trace of humanity. Β Unfortunately, she was disappointed. Yang Kaiβs eyes were clear at the moment, but all that filled them was hatred and murderous intent, nothing resembling human warmth remained, only cold malice.
Β
Shivering involuntarily, Qiu Yi Meng felt her heart sink. From the beginning of the Inheritance War, she had performed admirably in acting as Yang Kaiβs second in command, responsible for the management and deployment of his allies. Nevertheless, she still looked to Yang Kai as the backbone of their efforts. Β Every major operation centered around his commands.
Β
If any accident were to happen to Yang Kai, all her efforts would become worthless.
Β
Yang Kai glanced at her for a moment before shaking his head slowly, βIβm fine.β
Β
Hearing these words, Qiu Yi Meng froze up, somewhat unable to believe that under such a state, Yang Kai was actually able to suppress the murderous hostility in his body and still maintain mental clarity.
Β
If it were any other cultivator, could they accomplish this?
Β
Old Demon on the other hand just spat disdainfully and snickered, βYoung Master, your current look suits old servant very much! Β Hahahaha, we master and servant really share a common fate!β
Β
Qiu Yi Meng couldnβt help shooting an angry glare at Old Demon before anxiously asking, βSince youβve come back, why didnβt you return to the mansion but instead came here? Β What is it you hope to accomplish?β
Β
βKill someone!β
Β
βWho are you going to kill?β
Β
βXiang Chu and Nan Sheng!β
Β
Hearing this, everyoneβs expression greatly changed.
Β
Xiang Chu and Nan Sheng, although not on the same level as the Young Lords and Young Ladies of the Central Capital Eight Great Families, were still successors to first-class families. Such people could not be killed recklessly.
Β
Even a blind bastard like Lu Song hadnβt provoked Yang Kaiβs killing intent, so why was he suddenly so intent on killing Xiang Chu and Nan Sheng at this time?
Β
Qiu Yi Meng, who was doing her best to calm her racing heart, couldnβt help thinking that Yang Kai really had gone mad.
Β
βYang Kai, canβt we go back first?β Β Qiu Yi Meng reached out and gently held Yang Kaiβs arm, whispering softly, βLetβs go back and talk about this, see if thereβs a more suitable way to kill Nan Sheng and Xiang Chu and calm your anger.β
Β
Yang Kai turned his head and stared at Qiu Yi Meng strangely.
Β
βIf you insist on acting right now, thereβs no way for you to really kill those two. Β Yang Zhaoβs mansion has too many cultivators right now. Even if all of us rush in, we may not be able to cut them down.β Qiu Yi Meng continued to persuade, βSo letβs go back first, okay?β
Β
Watching this scene, Huo Xing Chenβs eyes had all but bulged out of their sockets.
Β
He had never seen, or even heard of Qiu Yi Meng having such a gentle side. The Qiu Familyβs First Young Lady always behaved in a steadfast and intelligent manner, bordering on shrewd and ruthless, so everyone had nearly forgotten that she was a young woman.
Β
Such a woman whispering sweet words would be a fatal temptation to any man and was all but impossible to resist.
Β
Huo Xing Chen thought about it and concluded that if he was treated gently by Qiu Yi Meng, even if he felt his will was firm, he would listen to whatever it is she said.
Β
βYes, Yang Kai, letβs go back first and discuss things. Itβll be fine even if we leave things as they are for a day or two.β Β Luo Xiao Man summoned up courage even she didnβt know she had and actually tried to persuade Yang Kai.
Β
Each of the four Ten Thousand Flower Palace Four girls nodded in agreement, also doing their best one by one to calm Yang Kai.
Β
Although their reasons and arguments varied, without exception, each of these beauties did their best to convey their care and concern.
Β
Seeing all of these young women drown Yang Kai in such maternal care, the rest of the crowd couldnβt help staring awkwardly.
Β
Yang Kai frowned and swept his eyes over crowd in front of him, eventually fixing his gaze on Qiu Yi Meng and asking, βDo you all see me as some kind of child?β
Β
Although his words were sharp and cold, Yang Kai actually felt warmth in his heart. Β No matter the reason, these people spoke up out of concern for him and his current state.
Β
All of these young womenβs faces became slightly red, only now understanding that when Yang Kai said he was fine, he really was still fully conscious.
Β
Seeing them blush, Yang Kai smirked, a trace of tenderness creeping into his expression as he gratefully said, βIβm really alright, you donβt have to worry.β
Β
Qiu Yi Meng took a deep breath and adjusted her expression, a moment later nodding, βGood, Iβll believe that you are really okay, but you just said that you wanted to kill Xiang Chu and Nan Sheng. Β How do you plan on killing them? This is Yang Zhaoβs compound and there are nearly a thousand cultivators in it, five times our current number! Even if you succeed in killing those two, most of your allies will be buried here along with them; do you really have the heart to do this?β
Β
βYou put too much value on those two.β Β Yang Kaiβs expression once again became cold as he slowly shook his head, βThe difference in number doesnβt mean anything, Second Brother is a cautious person, and he wonβt act unless he is certain of his victory. Itβs absolutely impossible for him to launch a full scale war here with me for them.β
Β
βHe still has scruples about big brother. His objective is to win the final victory in the Inheritance War! Β As for me, I donβt care.β Yang Kai smiled coldly.
Β
Qiu Yi Meng was stunned. Let alone Yang Kai simply being alright in this condition, his thoughts and insight were actually just as sharp as usual.
Β
One of them could go all out while the other was burdened with various worries. Thinking about it for a while, Qiu Yi Meng felt things would likely develop just as Yang Kai said they would.
Β
As Qiu Yi Meng mulled over these thoughts, Yang Zhao walked out from his house, his expression incredibly gloomy. Β Standing tall, with a large number of his allies behind him, he coldly said, βNinth Brother, what is your intent?β
Β
Yang Zhao was quite angry right now. The failure of this operation and Xiang Chu and Nan Sheng aggravating the situation was a major disappointment to him. Β Although he was deeply shocked at the strength Yang Kai was currently displaying, it was more the fact that he was brazenly blocking the entrance to his house that made Yang Zhao feel like he had lost face.
Β
It was still daytime, and although dark clouds loomed high in the sky blotting out any signs of the sun, his Ninth Brother acting this way was simply not putting him in his eyes.
Β
βSecond Brother,β Β Yang Kai faintly nodded at him. βSecond Brotherβs methods are simply outstanding. This time, Ninth Brother was almost defeated.β
Β
Yang Zhaoβs face twitched and coldly shot back, βNinth Brother doesnβt need to ridicule me, the bottom line is I underestimated your strength. This time, if I had gone personally, it would be impossible for Ninth Brother to be standing here talking down to me.β
Β
A fierce grin slowly crept onto Yang Kaiβs face as he replied, βIβm afraid that even if Second Brother had come personally, nothing would have changed!β
Β
Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment before his expression sank and he solemnly said, βNinth Brother, Second Brother only realized just now that you are the wildest of us Yang Family descendants!β
Β
Taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, Yang Zhao slowly continued, βNinth Brother, for the sake of a single wounded High Heaven Pavilion disciple, is all of this worth it? Β Iβve heard the whole story. While itβs true you had an agreement with Kang Zhan and Nan Sheng and Xiang Chu violated it, resulting in the serious injury of one of your Junior Brothers, and they should be punished for that transgression, I donβt believe thatβs enough to sentence them to death. Β Not to mention youβve already killed so many, shouldnβt that be enough to cool your anger? You bringing your people to block Second Brotherβs door, do you think thatβs really appropriate? Or perhapsβ¦ you think Second Brother is easy to bully!β
Β
As he spoke, Yang Zhaoβs tone grew colder and more accusatory.
Β
Hearing this sharp questioning, all the cultivators around Yang Zhao secretly rallied themselves, the atmosphere suddenly becoming red hot.
Β
However, Yang Kai remained as calm and cold as ever, βSecond Brother, I have no other purpose in coming here today, I just want to kill those two. After I take their lives, I will leave immediately!β
Β
βWith me here, do you think you can kill them?β
Β
βThen thereβs nothing more to discuss.β Β Yang Kai said disappointedly, shaking his head slowly as he shifted his gaze away from Yang Zhao towards the cultivators behind him, his eyes swiftly landing on Xiang Chu and Nan Sheng who had at some point snuck into the crowd.
Β
Perceiving Yang Kaiβs cold stare, the two couldnβt help going pale.
Β
βNo matter who tries to protect you today, you will still die!β Β Yang Kai suddenly showed an impatient look as he shouted, an ice cold murderous intent flashing across his eyes.
Β
*Kachaβ¦*
Β
Suddenly, a layer of ice began spreading across the ground, carrying with it a chill capable of freezing oneβs soul. Β With Yang Kai at the center, a fan-shaped region in front of him immediately transformed into a frigid purgatory.
Β
Feeling an acute sense of danger from this cold front, the cultivators gathered outside Yang Zhaoβs mansion all showed shocked expressions, quickly leaping up into the sky to avoid being contaminated by this murderous ice.
Β
Unlike the True Yang Yuan Qi from the True Yang Secret Art, the energy stored inside the Unyielding Golden Skeleton was actually the complete opposite, filled with cold and evil attributes.
Β
Yang Kai used this frigid evil energy to cause the surrounding temperature to plummet.
Β
Old Demon cackled happily, waving his hand and shooting out a crimson light, covering the newly frozen ground in a blood red layer, filled with a rich smell of iron, atop which stood a strange humanoid figure.
Β
Naturally, it was Old Demonβs Blood Demon Puppet, the one that was impossible to destroy so long as the blood sea beneath it existed.
Β
The Blood Demon stood quietly on the sea ofΒ blood without taking any action, simply releasing an astonishing Evil Qi from its body.
Β
Tang Yu Xian also gave a shout and unleashed a powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuation.
Β
The cultivators behind Yang Kai also no longer hesitated, rapidly pushing their True Qi and summoning their artifacts.
Β
*Huo!* An astonishing roar rang out behind Yang Kai as a huge head formed entirely of black energy began to emerge.
Β
The head swayed back and forth, its eyes the size of bronze bells exuding a terrifying light.
Β
Being stared at by these ominous eyes, no one dared to act rashly!
Β
Gradually, the black Qi coalesced into a solid form, drawing shouts of shock and dread.
Β
Before everyoneβs eyes, a hundred meter long pitch black dragon appeared, hovering above Yang Kaiβs head like a living creature.
Β
When Xiang Chu and Nan Sheng saw this black dragon, their legs couldnβt help going soft, almost causing them to collapse to the ground.
Β
At Tai Fang Mountain, Yang Kai had used this black dragon to effortlessly kill two Immortal Ascension Boundary First Stage masters.
