Flying needle artefacts were rare, but it was undeniable that they were the best choice for breaking through defensive artefacts and cultivators’ Saint Qi protections.

Yang Kai realized why this golden light had almost broken through his Grand Heavenly Shield upon seeing its true form.

This brief mont of shock was enough to allow the only Imperial City Sect disciple that had not been killed to react. Four of them had attacked Yang Kai, but three of them had been instantly killed, and if it wasn’t for Senior Brother ng’s sneak attack, the one survivor knew he too would be dead.

How could this man dare to remain? Imdiately, he withdrew a hundred ters bit before he was able to breathe a sigh of relief, a black rope suddenly descended upon him, sealing off all avenues of retreat, rendering him unable to flee.

In the blink of any eye, the black rope had entangled him and he could finally clearly tell that rather than so kind of physical material, this rope was actually condensed from pure black fla. Suddenly rembering the fate of his Junior Brother Qi, this man’s face went pale.

Opening his mouth to scream, the man was unable to make a sound before the Demonic Fla burned his body into slag along with his Soul.

The Imprisoning Heaven Chain from the Nine Heavens Divine Skills already had the ability to restrain one’s Soul, it was a skill specially used to capture fleeing enemies. When it was displayed with Yang Kai’s unique Saint Qi though, the Imprisoning Heaven Chain’s power rose to a whole new level.

In a flash, without exception, the four who had besieged Yang Kai had been wiped out.

ng Hong Liang’s eyes shrank violently as an expression of disbelief and panic filled his face.

The middle-aged man who had been ditating to restore his injuries had rushed over to Yang Kai at this ti.

The mont the four Imperial City Sect disciples launched their attack, this man had also taken action in hopes of saving Yang Kai, but how could he have known there was simply no place for him in this battle? By the ti he ran over, all four attackers were dead and even ng Hong Liang’s sneak attack had been dealt with.

The expression of the middle-aged man wasn’t not much better than ng Hong Liang’s, the only difference being he wasn’t afraid of Yang Kai; however, that didn’t stop him from staring at this young man as if he was so kind of monster.

Only now did he understand that Yang Kai wasn’t acting thoughtlessly, nor did he need to rely on Shadow Moon Hall’s na to protect himself, from the beginning, he had the ability to kill everyone present.

“You... could you be...” ng Hong Liang suddenly went completely white, half forming a sentence before failing to complete it. Yang Kai didn’t know what he wanted to say, but after saying these few words, ng Hong Liang hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed deeply, “This ng has offended this friend greatly but begs Friend to not take offence. What happened today, no one else will ever co to know, this ng swears to not disclose it to another person! I only ask that friend be willing to spare this ng’s pour life!”

Saying so, he didn’t even wait for Yang Kai to reply before imdiately turning around and running off, avoiding Yang Kai like a viper, his face still filled with terror.

“You think you can just leave?” Yang Kai sneered as he thrust out his palm. With things having gotten to this point, how could he simply allow ng Hong Liang to walk away? Whether it was because of his previous attitude and murderous intent towards him, or because he wanted to silence the witness to the cri afterwards, Yang Kai had already marked ng Hong Liang for death.

ng Hong Liang was the one who provoked him, he had only himself to bla.

A huge palm print fell from the sky, seemingly covering the Heavens themselves as it threatened to engulf ng Hong Liang.

This palm contained Heaven Destroying and Earth Shattering power, causing ng Hong Liang to go absent-minded for a mont, but as the aura of death approached, he let out a desperate cry and shot the golden light from his hand once more.

Countless thin flying needles as thin as an ox’s hair were summon, each releasing a grating sound.

Imdiately after the golden light was released, the nurous flying needles converged and condensed into a long sword, its tip vibrating violently as it stabbed towards Yang Kai’s Heaven Covering Hand.

*Hong...*

An eruption of golden light occurred and the Heaven Covering Hand was seemingly punctured by the radiance, the irresistible pressure it was exerting suddenly dispersing, allowing ng Hong Liang to free himself from its restraint and quickly escape.

He had only gone ten steps however, before scalding hot yet simultaneously frigid cold aura suddenly appeared behind him. Turning his head, ng Hong Liang was shocked to discover that before he knew it, the enemy had closed the distance between them and had already stabbed a sword condensed of black fla through his chest.

His body felt like it was invaded by a scalding heat and a icy cold all at once, and ng Hong Liang finally realized why his Junior Brother Qi had panicked so much before dying.

Looking down, he could only see the tip of the black fla sword erge from his chest, but centring on that position, the black flas were rapidly spreading out across his body...

Before ng Hong Liang’s body was completely incinerated, Yang Kai snatched his Space Ring and impatiently searched it with his Divine Sense, imdiately letting out a great laugh, seemingly very happy.

Similar to the ones Yang Kai had taken from the Xie Family trio before, there weren’t many good things in ng Hong Liang’s ring, only so pills and Saint Crystals as well as a dozen or so Fire Crystal Stones of varying size.

However, ng Hong Liang’s ring also contained a different kind of crystal that was emitting scorching hot flas.

This wasn’t a Fire Crystal Stone from a Fire Spirit Beast, but rather a piece of Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence, an Origin King Grade material. Brilliant Fire Crystal was only an Origin Grade material, and depending on its innate quality, it could be High, Mid, or Low-Rank.

Beneath the hill Yang Kai visited before, there should be a Brilliant Fire Crystal lode.

That Brilliant Fire Crystal lode should have had a very small chance to produce Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence, a material an entire grade higher.

From the aura this Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence gave off, it should only be Origin King Grade Low-Rank, but even so, such a treasure was rarely seen on Shadowed Star. No wonder ng Hong Liang had decided to snatch it from this middle-aged man and even silence the witness to the cri.

Yang Kai threw this piece of Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence into his own Space Ring before next taking out an old map fragnt.

This was what really made Yang Kai happy as it was the sa ancient map fragnt that had appeared in the Treasure Trove Pavilion auction!

At that ti, this map fragnt had been won by a random Second-Order Saint King who before the auction ended had tried to quietly slip away. Unfortunately for him, he was followed by a large number of people and was eventually robbed of this fragnt by a young man. That young man was none other than ng Hong Liang.

When Yang Kai saw ng Hong Liang a short ti ago, he hadn’t rembered where he had seen him before, only feeling that he was familiar, but Yang Kai soon rembered what had happened outside Heavenly Fate City that day.

At that ti, after the map fragnt was taken away by ng Hong Liang, Yang Kai did not make any attempts to search for it; after all, could whatever this ancient map led to be found with just a fragnt or two? It was impossible to know if this map even led to anything good at all. With so many unknowns, Yang Kai felt there wasn’t any need to waste energy and effort to retrieve it.

He hadn’t expected though that this map fragnt would eventually land in his hands.

Yang Yan had another fragnt of this map, so if Yang Kai put the two pieces together, he might be able to find so clues about where it led. If he found so free ti in the future, he could follow those clues and perhaps obtain so kind of opportunity.

While Yang Kai was searching through the Space Ring, on the side, the middle-aged man couldn’t hide his surprise, as the young man in front of him was completely behaving like an experienced bandit.

However, this middle-aged man also didn’t see anything wrong with this. It was all too normal for people to kill others and take their treasures in this world. After Yang Kai finished his pillaging, the middle-aged man walked up to him weakly and cupped his fists, “Extre Path Sect Huang Xi Ran thanks this friend for rescuing him. If it weren’t for this friend, this Huang would not have been able to escape death today, please accept my deepest gratitude.”

Saying so, he bowed deeply to Yang Kai.

“Brother Huang is too polite,” Yang Kai waved his hand with a smile.

Although Huang Xi Ran’s face showed so hints of joyfulness, the large majority of his expression was bleak as he said in a dull tone, “It is only how I should be, if this friend had not taken action, my Junior Brother would never have obtain revenge and perhaps no one in this world would have known ng Hong Liang killed my brother and I.”

Yang Kai gently nodded, “How could you be so careless to reveal the existence of that piece of Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence?”

Speaking of this matter, Huang Xi Ran’s face grew darker as he smiled bitterly, “It is not that we weren’t careful enough. My Junior Brother and I had good luck as the place we started digging happened to have a lot of Brilliant Fire Crystals, and shortly after Friend left, we even managed to obtain a piece of Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence. Naturally we hid is carefully and my Junior Brother and I imdiately left, but how could we have expected to encounter ng Hong Liang along the way? He had seen many people digging through the hill and decided to stop and rob people who tried to leave. He demanded we hand over our Space Rings, but with the Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence in his ring, my Junior Brother naturally refused. Once he refused though, ng Hong Liang imdiately killed my Junior Brother and the Brilliant Fire Crystal Essence fell into his hands. This Huang knew he was not their opponent and could only shafully escape.”

“I see!”

This is the kind of thing was beyond anyone’s ability to predict, it was just a matter of bad luck for Huang Xi Ran and his Junior Brother really.

“I haven’t asked for this friend’s honoured na!” Huang Xi Ran cupped his fists once more and said. Yang Kai had rescued him and allowed him to exact his revenge, so Huang Xi Ran was naturally grateful. On top of that, it was obvious Yang Kai was no ordinary cultivator so Huang Xi Ran wanted to make friends with him.

“Yang Kai.”

“So it is Brother Yang! En, is Brother Yang...” Huang Xi Ran suddenly paused before letting out a laugh, “Haha, no, this Huang was too disrespectful, Brother Yang doesn’t need to pay it any mind.”

Yang Kai looked at him strangely, completely confused.

ng Hong Liang had also started to say sothing a mont ago, and now Huang Xi Ran was also hesitating over sothing. Did the two of them have the sa misunderstanding? What kind of misunderstanding was it?

Whatever misunderstanding it was, Yang Kai wasn’t interested, so he simply said, “Does Brother Huang have any plans now?”

Huang Xi Ran thought about it seriously before replying, “I need to find a place to heal my wounds first, in my current state, I cannot proceed deeper into the Fla Area, going forward recklessly will only worsen my injuries. I’ll decide what to do next after recovering, Brother Yang doesn’t need to mind about . I can also contact so of my other Sect mbers, perhaps so of them are nearby.”

“Good,” Yang Kai nodded before cupping his fists and saying, “If that’s the case, I’ll be going on ahead.”

“Please do so, Brother Yang! If there is a chance in the future, Brother Yang should visit Extre Path Sect, this Huang will surely welco you!”

With a slight smile, Yang Kai turned around and walked towards the Treasure Area.

Looking at the back of Yang Kai, Huang Xi Ran was inexplicably excited. Like ng Hong Liang, he had determined that Yang Kai was a person from that place. Besides that place, who could cultivate a First Order Saint King capable of easily killing five cultivators who had higher cultivations than his own?
