If it weren’t for Yang Kai wasting time with his stupid questions and then rushing out foolishly, they would have at least had some chance of completing this task, making the sacrifices and injuries they were certain the suffer worthwhile, but now, even that was impossible.
As if the poisonous mist had a mind of its own, it wrapped around and tied up Yang Kai’s body.
“Your Brilliant Flame Sect seems to have some use for this brat, so I’ll leave him to you!” Jiang Xi commanded, without even sparing Yang Kai another glance, flying past him as he aimed for the crowd of young women not far ahead.
The Brilliant Flame Sect disciples exchanged a glance before one of them rushed over towards Yang Kai while the others followed after Jiang Xi.
A team of eight passed by Yang Kai in the next instant.
Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light!
Blood splattered and broken limbs flew out…
The vital auras of several people instantly vanished!
Pieces of hashed meat and broken bone fell like rain, crashing down to the ground and creating an extremely bloody sight.
Perceiving the energy fluctuations behind himself, Jiang Xi frowned and looked back suspiciously.
The next instant, his eyes bulged, and he quickly turned around and directed a solemn yet shocked gaze towards Yang Kai.
The poison mist rope which he used to tie up this little brat had disappeared at some unknown point, and all the Brilliant Flame Sect cultivators who had been behind him just now were dead!
There were no sounds of battle, nor screams before death, only a momentary energy fluctuation and then seven Origin Returning Realm master cultivators had died inexplicably.
Suddenly, Jiang Xi felt the situation was far more precarious than he anticipated, and a chill ran up his spine.
“What just happened?” Over on the Ice Heart Valley side, the group of women were equally stunned. The leading young woman was even shivering slightly as she wore a blank look on her face, wondering if she was seeing things.
Qing Ya’s beautiful eyes flashed as only she wore a look of understanding.
Yang Kai insisting they not run and even taking the initiative to meet the enemy had really ended up how she thought it would.
She didn’t know Yang Kai very well, but from Su Yan, she understood that Yang Kai was a man who could always perform miracles and fought against those who had higher cultivations than him like it was commonplace.
Before, she was just guessing this to be the case here, but the facts were laid out before her.
The seven Brilliant Flame Sect disciples were all First-Order to Third-Order Origin Returning Realm masters, but the moment they passed by Yang Kai, they had all died in an instant.
This could no longer be described as the ability to fight above one’s realm, it was nothing less than a miracle!
No one knew exactly how Yang Kai accomplished this, only that there was a flash of golden light just before everything ended.
“How?” The lead young woman stared at Yang Kai in shock. At this moment, a golden thread was floating leisurely in front of Yang Kai. This golden thread gave off a strange aura, one filled with potent vitality, as if it was alive. From this aura alone, it was clear this golden thread was not to be underestimated.
With a faint smile on his face, Yang Kai looked at Jiang Xi with a somewhat mocking grin.
Jiang Xi instantly felt tremendous pressure, as if he was not facing a Second-Order Origin Returning Realm boy but a genuine Origin King!
Forcefully dispelling the uneasiness in his heart, Jiang Xi shouted in a low voice, “Little brat, your dare play the pig to eat a tiger?”
“You were the ones who decided to underestimate me,” Yang Kai grinned, not showing any kind of panic as he lightly said, “Old frog, are you ready to die?”
“Shameless boasting!” Jiang Xi sternly shouted as he released his Shi, trying to suppress Yang Kai.
