Facing Qiu Yi Mengβs approaching dagger, Yang Kai maintained his calm grin, not showing the slightest tension as he stared at the brilliantly glowing blade, he didnβt even condense his True Qi, as if he really had no intention of resisting.
Qiu Yi Mengβs beautiful face was filled with determination and the speed at which she struck only accelerated.
But in the next instant, Yang Kaiβs complexion rapidly changed, his eyes filling with shock as he grabbed towards Qiu Yi Mengβs hand as fast as he could.
Puβ¦
A dull thud resounded and blood splashed out.
Screams rang out and the masters behind the two entangled figures shot forward.
The eyes of Chen Xuan and the other Fallen Leaves Hall masters all wore fanatical expressions as they stared at the dumbstruck Yang Kai, grinning fiercely as they approached.
Ying Jiu, Tang Yu Xian, and Old Demon also pushed their True Qi rapidly and crossed over the heads of Yang Kai and Qiu Yi Meng to intercept Chen Xuan and the Qiu Family masters.
The battle had instantly erupted; those below the Immortal Ascension Boundary were unable to interfere. Even those younger generation leaders who had already broken through the Immortal Ascension Boundary were too afraid to approach and could only use their Martial Skills and artifacts to strike from a distance.
Brilliant flashes of light blossomed and waves of True Qi rampaged about.
Amidst the chaos, Luo Xiao Man stumbled over to Yang Kai and Qiu Yi Meng but after seeing the situation, she couldnβt help trembling violently as she covered her mouth to stifle her screams.
Qiu Yi Meng had fallen limply into Yang Kaiβs arms, her face pale and bloodless as she silently smiled towards the man embracing her. Inserted into her lower abdomen was the very same dagger artifact she had taken out just now.
Yang Kai on the other hand was completely unscathed.
βwhat the .... are you doing?β Yang Kai angered snapped.
βI couldnβt do anythingβ¦β Qiu Yi Meng smiled faintly, βI could only think of this way and let myself escape temporarily.β
Just now, Qiu Yi Meng stopped her attack halfway through and instead turned the dagger on herself. Yang Kai saw this and immediately tried to stop her.
However, Qiu Yi Mengβs previous expression was too convincing and Yang Kai was also deceived by her for a moment, thinking that she really was going to attack him.
When he realized he had been tricked, it was already too late to stop her.
Blood flowed from Qiu Yi Mengβs lower abdomen and soon her clothes were stained dark red, giving her a strange ephemeral beauty.
βDonβt talk.β Yang Kai wrinkled his brow but didnβt panic, Qiu Yi Mengβs injury wasnβt in a fatal position nor did the dagger penetrate too deep, with the help of the Myriad Drug Milk, in only a day or two she would fully recover without even a scar.
βI have something I want to ask you.β Qiu Yi Meng panted for breath as she stubbornly stared at Yang Kai.
βIf you have something to say, just spit it out.β Yang Kai coldly snorted, he was quite discontent with Qiu Yi Meng right now.
Qiu Yi Meng went silent for a moment before staring at Yang Kai, her eyes filled with a look of expectation as she whispered, βIf I really had attacked you, would you have resisted?β
βWhat do you think?β Yang Kai stared back at her.
βI donβt know, I never could tell what youβre thinking.β
βIβm not an idiot, how could I just stand there and let you stab me!β
βSure enoughβ¦β Qiu Yi Meng laughed bitterly, βYouβve always been a selfish person, but if you werenβt, you wouldnβt be you.β
Yang Kai suddenly wore a fierce grin, βIf you really had tried to attack me, then today your life would have been over.β
βWhat would you do to me? Kill me?β
βNothing so dramatic, Iβd just strip off all your clothes, and thenβ¦ heh, spank your little butt red!β
Qiu Yi Mengβs pale cheeks suddenly blushed furiously. No one had ever spoken such shameful words to her and she was at a loss about how to respond, in her mind she couldnβt help imagining a scene where she laid across Yang Kaiβs lap naked and was repeatedly smacked.
[Shameful!]
βStop it. Both of you!β Luo Xiao Man stood helplessly to one side and pitifully called out, βQuickly tend to her injuries.β
βShe wonβt die.β Yang Kai said in an intentionally aloof face before tightly holding Qiu Yi Meng and standing up. Glancing over at the chaotic battlefield, a cold light flashed through the depths of his eyes before he turned around and hurried into the house.
Luo Xiao Man chased after him quickly.
A short time later, the three arrived at Su Yanβs room.
Pushing open the door, the trio was hit by a blast of cold air.
Su Yan was sitting on the ice crystal bed, seemingly cultivating, but in fact her mind wasnβt here at all. The commotion outside Yang Kaiβs house and the ensuing battle had naturally drawn her attention, but because of her identity as a High Heaven Pavilion disciple, it wasnβt convenient for her to come forward to join the fray and could only wait here quietly.
βWhat happened? How did she receive such an injury?β Su Yan saw Qiu Yi Mengβs condition and quickly inquired.
βThis silly girl did it to herself.β Yang Kai said while laying Qiu Yi Meng down on the ice bed, the profound chill quickly enveloping her and causing her to shiver.
However, thanks to this influx of cold Qi, her wound stopped bleeding and her pain was also numbed.
βIβll leave her to you.β Yang Kai snorted, turned around and left.
The location of Qiu Yi Mengβs injury was too sensitive, if she had been wounded anywhere else, Yang Kai would handle it himself, but since it was on her lower abdomen, he could only hand her treatment over to Su Yan.
Su Yan also had some Myriad Drug Milk on her and would know what to do.
The sound of battle outside continued to grow and very soon it seemed as if half the night sky was illuminated by explosions of light.
When Yang Kai returned to the outside of the house, he suddenly found that the battle had reached a fever pitch with both forcesβ strength comparable to each other.
The enemy force consisted of twenty Qiu Family Fallen Leaves Hall masters at or above the Immortal Ascension Boundary Sixth Stage.
On his own side there were three Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary masters, Ying Jiu, Tang Yu Xian, and Old Demon, each of whom was currently displaying phenomenal strength
Shui Ling was also taking advantage of her special constitution to harass the enemy and disrupt their concentration.
There were also many other Immortal Ascension Boundary masters from Yang Kaiβs allies participating in the battle one way or another. In terms of quantity, Yang Kai undoubtedly held a big advantage, but each master from the Fallen Leaves Hall couldnβt be underestimated, so even if they were heavily outnumbered, the fight was still relatively even.
The battle quickly became a difficult struggle.
Since the beginning of the Inheritance War, Yang Kai and his allies had never encountered such a situation, every battle they fought had always been a lopsided route.
Chen Xuan and the other Qiu Family masters were even more shocked though. They had arrived here tonight full of confidence, but when the battle really began, they discovered that the rumors werenβt exaggerations at all and had even underestimated the combat power of the cultivators in Yang Kaiβs house.
The Fallen Leaves Hall had deployed almost all of its manpower for this operation yet now they had no way to defeat the forces of a single Yang Family Young Lord.
Chen Xuan couldnβt help feeling a great sense of shame but quickly steadied himself and began to fight back seriously.
Yang Kai watched for a moment but didnβt go personally enter the fray, instead turning his eyes towards a spot in the distance.
From the direction he was staring, he felt the auras of many strong masters.
The strength of each of these people was no worse than that of the masters from the Fallen Leaves Hall, but they numbered several times as many!
Without a doubt these people were the masters from the other six families.
Just as Yang Kai suspected, three kilometers away on the third floor of a large building, the six super familyβs Young Lords and Young Ladies, headed by Ye Xin Rou, had gathered and were observing the battle.
Although it was night time, the moon was full so everything that had taken place in front of Yang Kaiβs mansion had been seen by them.
Qiu Yi Meng suddenly attacking, Yang Kai taking action in response, they had witnessed everything.
But the final result surprised all of them!
The one who fell in a pool of their own blood was actually Qiu Yi Meng.
Ye Xin Rouβs beautiful face flashed a gloating expression before she coldly snorted, βYang Kai really has lost his humanity, heβll even viciously attack someone who supported him for so long and who he had such a good relationship with like Qiu Yi Meng.β
Kang Zhan and the other Young Lords silently nodded, although they were discontent with Ye Xin Rouβs arrogant attitude, they still agreed with her current rhetoric.
They were too far from the battle and hadnβt seen any of the intrigue which played out, all they were able to determine was that Qiu Yi Meng had been stabbed by Yang Kai.
Since entering Yang Kaiβs mansion more than ten months ago, Qiu Yi Meng had served as his right arm, managing all of the matters inside his house even down the deployment of his allied forces, she had put in a tremendous amount of work and effort, but in the end, Yang Kai hadnβt even hesitated to attack her.
No matter who saw this, wouldnβt they be disappointed?
With such an example, how could anyone think Yang Kai still had any sense of morality? It was obvious that he cared nothing for his allies and all that mattered to him was his own interests.
Only Huo Xing Chen wore a different expression, a subtle sneer adorning his face. Although he hadnβt seen exactly what happened just now, he wholeheartedly disagreed with Ye Xin Rouβs assessment.
βIt seems like my plan has failed.β Ye Xin Rou said, however there was not look of disappointment on her face, instead there was even a hint of joy. She apparently very much enjoyed watching Qiu Yi Mengβs bitter experience, but she quickly wore a calm, indifferent expression, βIf only I had known things would turn out like this I wouldnβt have sent Elder Sister Qiu in to face such danger alone.Β Haβ¦Β it seems I overestimated Yang Kaiβs humanity, he can no longer be saved. He is a true demon who no longer recognizes friends or family.β
βWhat should we do now?β Gao Rang Feng asked pointedly, Qiu Yi Mengβs so called surprise attack force hadnβt played any role at all which made him suddenly suspect if Ye Xin Rou knew things would turn out this was and had deliberately set the former up to fail. Thinking so, a thick sense of detest began to well up in his heart.
βLetβs observe the situation for a while longer,β Ye Xin Rou said without the slightest sense of tension, her expression calm and light. Oh! The fight is starting to get fiercer.β
βShouldnβt we send reinforcements?β Kang Zhan frowned, βIf we stand by and do nothing Iβm afraid the Qiu Family will complain later.β
βLet them fight for a while longer.β Ye Xin Rou faintly smiled, βYing Jiu and Tang Yu Xian have already activated their Mad Tyrant Blood Skill, I donβt think anyone from any of your families wants to face them in their current state, right? After a while, the effects of the Mad Tyrant Blood Skill will disappear, that will be the best time for us to intervene.β
The looks on each of the Young Lordβs faces became awkward but none of them opened their mouths to refute.
No one wanted to lose one of their familiesβ masters when there was another option available.
After this brief conversation, everyone fell silent and waited patiently.
As time passed, the fighting only became more and more fierce and people were constantly injured or killed.
Yang Kaiβs allies and the Fallen Leaves Hall both suffered losses.
Although the powerhouses from the Fallen Leaves Hall held nothing back and fully displayed their great strength, it wasnβt enough to ensure their safety in this kind of melee.
This was especially true when Yang Kai finally joined the battle, the moment he entered the fray the delicate balance was broken. After unleashing an eruption of evil energy from inside his Unyielding Golden Skeleton, the Immortal Ascension Boundary Second Stage Yang Kai was actually able to fight evenly with a Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary masters.
Also, now that Yang Kai had opened his Knowledge Sea, he could display the full might of his Soul Skills and Soul type artifact. Using these two methods he was able to catch people off guard by launching swift, unexpected attacks, often able to kill people in a single strike!
The Fallen Leaves Hall immediately began suffering heavy losses and the situation quickly became dire. Suddenly facing immense pressure, Chen Xuan couldnβt stand it anymore and shouted loudly, βYoung Lady Ye!β
