Superb Divine Sense strength, which was one of the foundations of Yuan Control Mastery, was naturally not sothing difficult for Yang Kai. In this fight against Lu Ye, Yang Kai also had the intention to experint with what he had comprehended these past few days, and the results had really given him a pleasant surprise.

The black fireballs had transford into sharp arrows under Yang Kai’s control and pierced straight through the red mist coving the mountain valley, breaking it apart and allowing the thick malevolent aura in his surroundings disperse, reducing the pressure he felt greatly.

Yang Kai grinned as the sound of wind and thunder behind him whirled up and before Lu Ye could react, Yang Kai charged in front of him and chopped down with his Demonic Fla sword.

Lu Ye had already witnessed the terrifying power of these Demonic Flas, and although he was confident he wouldn’t be directly burned to death by them, he still thought it best to avoid contact with them as much as possible. His strange wicked laughter ca to an abrupt halt as he swiftly withdrew. At the sa ti, he ford a series of strange hand signs that and condensed a giant red palm above his head that he smashed down towards Yang Kai.

Lu Ye could also use Yuan Control Mastery, and it was apparent that his proficiency with it wasn’t inferior to that of Yang Kai who had just realised this Divine Ability, perhaps even above it.

The mont the red palm appeared, it was as if the surrounding space had been blocked, making it difficult to breathe and stiffening Yang Kai’s movents significantly.

Yang Kai grunted as he madly pushed the Saint Qi in his body, breaking free of this suppression and sending out a palm of his own.

Another giant hand appeared in the sky. The Nine Heavens Divine Skills Heaven Covering Hand t Lu Ye’s red palm head-on, causing an explosion that made the entire mountain valley tremble.

Taking this opportunity, Yang Kai advanced even further, waving his Demonic Fla long sword through the air as he used his Yuan Control Mastery to transform more of his Demonic Fla s into various attacks that flew towards Lu Ye.

Yang Kai realised that Lu Ye had stronger Soul cultivation than him, but his strength was still limited. As long as Yang Kai remained alert enough, Lu Ye’s Divine Sense wouldn’t pose too much of a threat. On top of that, Lu Ye’s Saint Qi wasn’t as pure or vigorous as Yang Kai’s, while the difference in their physical strengths was even further apart.

That was why Yang Kai chose to enter a lee, as this was his biggest advantage!

The other reason Yang Kai chose this course of action was in order to prevent Lu Ye from escaping. Yang Kai poured his Saint Qi into his purple shield, causing it to emit a brown glow and a mont later create a large-scale sandstorm that engulfed the entire mountain valley!

This was one of the hidden powers of his purple shield, one that Yang Kai was using for the first ti.

The purple shield was refined from the carapace of the Scarlet Tailed Purple Armoured Scorpion, and Yang Yan had incorporated the Ninth-Order Monster Beast’s Monster Core into it, allowing it to use so of the Scarlet Tailed Purple Armoured Scorpion’s own Divine Abilities from before it died.

This sandstorm was an ability that ca with this shield!

Sand and dust whirled about as Yang Kai’s figure drifted from place to place in an impossible to read pattern. Subrged in this violent sandstorm, Lu Ye had to divert part of his focus to resist this strange attack, finding the position of host and guest suddenly reversed by Yang Kai and slowly being suppressed.

Lu Ye quickly beca annoyed. He had never expected that, after finally regaining his freedom from a few tens of thousands of years of imprisonnt, the first enemy he bumped into would be so strange and powerful, making it impossible for him easily kill.

This made him feel like he had lost a great deal of face and made him beco angry out of sha.

The two of them were just about equally proficient in Yuan Control Mastery as well. Yang Kai’s Yuan Control Mastery was rough because he had only just comprehended it while Lu Ye’s was unsteady because the Saint Qi in this current body wasn’t dense and pure enough. On top of that, in a frontal clash, his Saint Qi was falling greatly behind Yang Kai’s Demonic Fla in terms of destructive power.

Inferior in terms of Saint Qi, unable to suppress him in terms of Spiritual Energy, and with a weaker physical body, Lu Ye quickly found himself on the losing end of this battle.

Yang Kai didn’t say a word as he was focusing entirely on suppressing his opponent. The Demonic Fla sword in his hand caused so damage to Lu Ye from ti to ti, but what made Yang Kai depressed was that even his seemingly unstoppable Demonic Fla was unable to contaminate his opponent. A strange flash of blue light Yang Kai couldn’t identify would appear from Lu Ye’s body and actually extinguish the Demonic Flas which would normally have burnt him, reducing the damage Yang Kai could deal this way to re flesh wounds.

Since he had made up his mind to kill this inexplicable enemy though, Yang Kai was naturally not planning to hold back.

He hadn’t used his Space Force yet though.

His self-created Space Blade wasn’t perfected yet so the best ti to use it would be when he found a decisive opening. If he failed to hit his opponent and as a result caused Lu Ye to beco more vigilant, it would severely reduce this trump card’s effectiveness.

Yang Kai was constantly searching for a suitable opportunity to surprise Lu Ye, thinking at as long as he could successfully hit him with his Space Blade, he could seriously injure him if not kill him outright!

Unsurprisingly though, Yang Kai so thoroughly suppressing him aroused great anger from Lu Ye, and after suffering a series of injuries, he roared, “Brat, you court death!”

Saying so, Lu Ye suddenly spat out a puff of black blood. The sll of this blood was extrely pungent, making one want to vomit, but the power it contained was even more terrifying. Obviously it was Lu Ye’s Blood Essence.

This Blood Essence transford into a blood mist before rapidly condensing into a strange short rod in Lu Ye’s hand.

This short rod was only about two palms in length and could be easily gripped within one’s hand. It looked completely ordinary and inconspicuous, but when it appeared, Yang Kai’s heart clenched and an inexplicable sense of crisis well up inside him.

Yang Kai rarely felt this way, but whenever he did, it ant that he was facing incredible danger.

A fierce grin appeared on Lu Ye’s face as he madly poured his Saint Qi into this black short rod and a mont later, the entire world inexplicably went dark.

It was as if all the surrounding light was being absorbed by this short rod, making it impossible for Yang Kai to see anything around him and even rendering his Demon Eye of Annihilation useless.

The sandstorm which had been filling the mountain valley was suddenly interrupted, the dust drifting down the ground as all the howling winds abruptly ca to a stop.

Yang Kai’s face changed greatly. At this mont, he realised that he could barely circulate the Saint Qi in his body regardless of how hard he pushed it. It was also impossible for him to draw out Spiritual Energy from his Knowledge Sea, as if it had been sealed off sohow.

In the darkness, Yang Kai instinctually sensed sothing approaching him, a kind of death aura that could extinguish anything it touched, sending chills down his spine.

[It can’t be resisted! It can’t be blocked!]

At this mont, all kinds of thoughts flashed across Yang Kai’s mind and he quickly determined that neither his Saint Qi nor Spiritual Energy could block this strange attack, not that he could access either of those under his currently suppressed state. He also couldn’t escape as most of his strength was being cut off, much less tear space.

Swiftly making a decision, Yang Kai condensed a drop of Golden Blood at his fingertip, sending out a sensational wave of vitality into the surroundings. He then shot out this drop of Golden Blood towards the deepest part of the darkness.

When the Golden Blood’s surging vitality and black death aura collided with one another, there was surprisingly not a single sound, only an explosion of golden and black light which filled the mountain valley. For a ti, these two forces actually perfectly counterbalanced one another.

“How is that possible?” Lu Ye’s face finally changed. Although he had been suppressed by Yang Kai previously, he wasn’t panicked because he had not yet gone all out. But now that he had used such a powerful artefact with complete determination to kill Yang Kai, he firmly believed that this boy wouldn’t be able to resist.

However, to his great surprise, when he sent out this trump card, the scene of hashed at and splatter blood did not appear and instead, an astonishing explosion of vitality had co out and managed to block his attack.

[This boy has to be killed as soon as possible!] Such thoughts flashed through Lu Ye’s mind as his expression beca fierce.

With just a First-Order Saint King Realm cultivation, this boy could fight evenly with him. If he were to be allowed to truly mature, wouldn’t he beco an invincible existence? Lu Ye’s tens of thousands of years of experience had taught him that such dangers must absolutely be snuffed out while in the cradle.

At this mont, he regarded Yang Kai as a thorn in his side, one that needed to be eliminated as quickly as possible.

A ruthless light flashed across Lu Ye’s eyes as he spat out another mouthful of Blood Essence, causing the black light which was competing against the golden radiance to rapidly grow in intensity. The golden light was quickly suppressed and was on the verge of collapsing, after which the death aura would swiftly engulf Yang Kai.

In response, Yang Kai flicked his wrist and set out another drop of Golden Blood, causing the golden light of vitality to instantly grow strong again and pierce though the darkness.

“Ah...” Lu Ye let out a cry of shock as the dark shroud he had condensed was torn apart and the light of day reappeared.

In the mountain valley, both Yang Kai and Lu Ye stood in place, but at this mont Lu Ye’s body was shivering and his face was extrely pale, seemingly having suffered serious injuries to his foundation.

On the other hand, although Yang Kai’s expression was extrely ugly, it wasn’t hard to see that he was both unhard and full of energy.

Through the red mist, Yang Kai glared at Lu Ye with eyes as cold as an ancient snow-capped mountain.

Lu Ye couldn’t help feeling startled!

A jet black blade-like attack suddenly flew towards him, and before Lu Ye could react, it was upon him.

Lu Ye panicked and hurriedly twisted his body to avoid his vitals from being hit, but a mont later, a slight stinging sensation ca from his left arm.

Turning his head to look, Lu Ye’s soul nearly leapt out of his body as he found that one of his arms had actually be cut off by the attack just now.

What kind of attack was that? Why hadn’t he noticed it sooner? It didn’t seem to ripple with any kind of aura at all, so why was it so powerful?

What frightened Lu Ye even more though was that the wound on his arm and his fallen severed limb obviously didn’t match up. A sliver was missing which made it impossible to simply re-attach his arm. Lu Ye couldn’t understand what had happened.

While Lu Ye was in this state of panic, Yang Kai’s murderous intent soared and he was clearly preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to settle things once and for all, but before he could act, Lu Ye’s figure flickered, transford into a red light, and quickly vanished.

Yang Kai didn’t know what kind of secret technique Lu Ye used, but by the ti he found him again with his Divine Sense, this mysterious enemy was already five kilotres away.
