Yang Kai nodded when he heard this, āI understand what Manager Chen means, you mean to say that Scarlet Star will always only have seven Managers?ā
āYou can say that!ā Chen Tian Fei slightly smiled.
āThat makes things easy.ā Yang Kai also grinned, āI just have to kill one of you and take his or her seat.ā
Just as he stated this, he kicked the ground as he flew towards Du Niang Zi like a Great Peng spreading its wings.
Yang Kai was decisive in his actions, acting the moment he declared his intentions.
No one had expected him to be so ruthless. Everyone thought that Yang Kaiās hands and feet would be tied here, leaving him at their mercy. His life and death would be completely up to them. No one had thought that he would be first to launch an assault.
āImpudence!ā
āPreposterous!ā
Everyone angrily shouted as they flew off their seats one after another. Especially Gan Hong, the moment his figure moved, he disappeared into the darkness in a flash.
The Ou Yang Brothers, who had been sitting still like a mountain, also moved swiftly. Their auras became connected, giving the impression that they had turned into one person, mutually strengthening one another.
Chen Tian Feiās plump and round body bounced like a ball, flying straight at Yang Kai.
*Dong dong dongā¦*
The towering Bei Yu Shan strode forward, shaking the hall every time his feet touched the ground. His body suddenly grew to more than twenty meters tall and his muscles radiated a tremendous might. He stood right before Du Niang Zi like a hill and smiled wickedly at Yang Kai before throwing a punch at him.
A boom reverberated inside the hall, deafening everyoneās ears, Bei Yu Shanās punch was so strong that it could shatter a mountain.
In front of everyoneās disbelieving eyes though, instead of trying to dodge or evade, Yang Kai threw a punch of his own, meeting fist to fist with his enemy.
Yue Heās beautiful face turned pale as she shouted, āBe careful!ā
She was anxious like an ant on a hot wok. She had informed Yang Kai before that Bei Yu Shan was born with great innate strength that could crush mountains. How could Yang Kai be thinking of taking this punch head-on? Wasnāt that tantamount to bringing disgrace to himself?
The others couldnāt help but burst out laughing at the sight of this.
Among the Managers of Scarlet Star, Bei Yu Shan was the strongest in terms of pure physical power. He had a Special Constitution, giving him innate brute strength comparable to exotic beasts. Within the same realm, no one could block his punch. Not to mention that he was a Fourth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, and Yang Kai was just an Emperor Realm Junior. Although there were no Open Heaven Realm Masters in the Grand Ancient Ruins, and Bei Yu Shan was unable to exert his full strength here, he still had his foundation. An ant couldnāt compete with an elephant in physical strength, could it?
It was simply an impossible feat!
Only now did Chen Tian Fei realize how headstrong and unyielding Yang Kai was! He had gone to such great lengths to bring Yang Kai here, but it seems he was acting too cautiously. Had he known this would happen, he would not have bothered coming up with such an elaborate scheme!
All kinds of thoughts flashed across everyoneās mind as the remaining Scarlet Star Managers abruptly stopped, watching patiently. It looked like they could all predict what would happen next.
A deafening explosion suddenly rang outā¦
What happened after the clash made everyoneās face twitch violently. When the two fists clashed with each other, it wasnāt the smaller Yang Kai who was sent flying, but the twenty meters tall Bei Yue Shan.
His enormous body flew out like a sack and crashed straight into the rear wall, creating a huge indent. At the same time, the entire hall quaked violently.
Yang Kaiās figure just shook a little before he continued charging forward without losing any momentum.
āImpossible!ā Chen Tian Fei almost bit his tongue off in shock. His long and big eyes were narrow because of all the fat on his body, but they were now widened bigger than a bullās eyes. What he was seeing had simply subverted his expectations. He simply couldnāt believe it.
The Ou Yang Brothers and Lady Qin also lost their wits!
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai arrived within a hundred meters of Du Niang Zi, grinning from ear to ear.
Apparently, Du Niang Zi had failed to realize her predicament as her thoughts had been thrown into chaos. When she came to her senses, Yang Kaiās grim smile was right in front of her face.
Her expression involuntarily changed as she promptly opened her mouth and breathed a pink mist at him. At the same time, she shattered the chair behind her as she retreated back.
The mist was extremely poisonous. Even an Open Heaven Realm Master would not be able to resist it if he or she was struck. If one couldnāt remove the poison in time, they would be reduced to a pool of pus.
Yang Kai charged straight into the mist, however, his body swaying slightly the next moment. Obviously, he was affected by the poison.
Du Niang Zi couldnāt stop giggling, āBoy, I have to hand it to you, you actually sent that brute flying, but this Great Auntās Soul Devouring Smog isnāt so easy to deal with. You can slowly enjoy the pain of your Soul melting!ā
Just as she stated this though, her eyes widened in shock as she stared in Yang Kaiās direction in horror.
Inside the pink smog, Yang Kai opened his mouth and took a deep breath, directly inhaling like a whale swallowing water. Afterward, he looked towards Du Niang Zi as his eyes glowed with a dazzling light, shaking Du Niang Ziās Soul!
Du Niang Zi couldnāt help but scream as her tender figure rapidly fled back.
āWhere do you think you are going?ā Yang Kai coldly snorted and stretched his hand towards her before clenching it. The next moment, Space Principle fluctuations undulated as Yang Kai caught Du Niang Zi by her slender neck, ignoring the distance between the two, and slowly pulled her before him.
Du Niang Zi struggled hard, but the big hand that had grabbed her neck remained unmoving.
Suddenly, Du Niang Ziās figure exploded with a bang as poisonous liquid flew everywhere, splashing all over Yang Kai.
Immediately after, sizzling sounds echoed in the hall as Yang Kaiās clothes melted away, revealing his slender yet well-proportioned muscles. In addition, there was a film of khaki light over the surface of his body. When Du Niang Ziās highly toxic poison splashed on this khaki film, it was unable to corrode it at all and just slid down it.
āYouā¦ā Du Niang Ziās reconstituted figure stared at Yang Kai in horror. She really couldnāt understand why the poison she was so proud of had no effect on this boy.
āEarth Element Power!ā Yue He covered her mouth in shock and murmured to herself, looking at the khaki-coloured aura around Yang Kai.
[If memory serves me right, Yang Kai told me a few months back that he had only condensed his Wood and Fire Elements, so where did this Power of Earth come from? And it seems to be of High-Order as well; otherwise, how could it resist Du Niang Ziās poison so easily?]
She couldnāt help but think about the time when Yang Kai had disappeared in the Crouching Dragon Mountains for twenty days. Could it be that he condensed his Power of Earth during that time?
āDo you have any other tricks up your sleeve?ā Yang Kai stared coldly at Du Niang Zi.
Du Niang Ziās pupils immediately dilated. She was so horrified that she couldnāt even speak. She was shivering like a quail in the cold winter. The poison she was proud of had no effect on Yang Kai, leaving her without any other options.
āMy turn!ā Yang Kai cruelly smiled as he stretched out and pinched Du Niang Ziās cherry red lips. Afterward, he brought his head closer to her, and under her terrified gaze, he took a deep breath as his chest and abdomen ballooned.
āFire Dragonāsā¦ Flaming Breath!ā
Yang Kai spat out a scorching hot jet of flame straight into Du Niang Ziās body from less than an armās length away. Naturally, it was the Golden Crowās True Fire.
Du Niang Zi instantly started screaming in pain, writhing left and right, but she couldnāt break free from Yang Kaiās grip. All the poison on her body splashed out randomly, but Yang Kai didnāt even try to dodge or evade it. He let the poison fall on him while depending on his Power of Earth to defend himself.
āStop!ā Chen Tian Fei shouted as his round and plump body turned into a ball of meat, slamming straight at Yang Kai.
The others also violently attacked Yang Kai at that moment.
When they saw Yang Kai being enveloped by the Soul Devouring Smog earlier, they all thought that everything was settled. Yang Kai was going to die for sure and they instantly relaxed, but they had never thought that their brief moment of laxity would result in Du Niang Ziās capture. How could they dare to hesitate any longer?
In the blink of an eye, Chen Tian Fei, the Ou Yang Brothers, and Bei Yu Shan, who had just crawled back up, charged straight at Yang Kai. Each of them summoned their artifact or used Secret Technique to attack Yang Kai.
āHouā¦ā
Beastly roars suddenly resounded through the hall as two enormous figures, one red and one black, appeared out of thin air. One breathed fearsome flames to defend against the enemies, while the other spattered toxic and sticky mucus everywhere, forcing the Scarlet Star Managers to flee.
The Scarlet Flood Dragon and Earth Dragon had taken the stage!
The two 300 meter-long exotic beasts coiled around Yang Kai, guarding him with an airtight defense. All the oncoming attacks were blocked by the two exotic beasts!
Chen Tian Fei and the others were immediately flabbergasted.
Yang Kai still continued to breathe flames at Du Niang Zi, whose screams were gradually becoming hoarse. She was staring at Yang Kai with a pleading look in her eyes.
Unfortunately for her, Yang Kai remained unmoved.
Suddenly, sonorous and melodious chimes rang out as if someone was plucking the strings of a guqin. When these chimes entered everyoneās ears, they found themselves in an illusion, making them uneasy. It was none other than Lady Qin, who had taken out her guqin at some point and plucked its strings with her soft and tender hands gently, creating invisible sound attacks!
Yue He let out a light snort and arrived before Yang Kai in a flash. She summoned her Little Flower Umbrella and twirled it. The next moment, ripples emerged from the umbrella one after another, spreading into the surrounding.
The melodious and sonorous zither music immediately became discordant, causing Lady Qinās pretty face to involuntarily sink!
With the two exotic beasts on the defense, and Yue He blocking the front, Scarlet Star Managers couldnāt do anything at all. They wanted to rescue Du Niang Zi, but they couldnāt find any openings. All they could do was helplessly watch Du Niang Zi suffer miserably, much to their frustration.
The sharp screams slowly became faint before they ceased to exist. Du Niang Ziās vitality had disappeared into thin air in just a dozen breaths.
The next moment, Yang Kai shut his mouth, cutting off the scorching flames. As he shook Du Niang Zi a little, her body jiggled left and right as if she had no bones left. And along with all the shaking, bloody foam flowed out of her seven orifices, along with her internal organs.
āFirst one!ā Yang Kai threw Du Niang Ziās corpse aside as if he was throwing away a piece of garbage.
The hall sank into complete silence. The Scarlet Star Managersā eyes fiercely trembled as their gaze alternated between Yang Kai and Du Niang Ziās corpse. They couldnāt believe that Du Niang Zi, who had been with them for hundreds of years, actually died just like that.
Moreover, she died a miserable death at the hands of an Emperor Realm Junior!
If they were outside, Yang Kai wouldnāt have been Du Niang Ziās opponent at all as she was a Fourth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. Not to mention a Fourth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, even if he was up against a First-Order or Second-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, he would have to escape at the first sight of them.
But the special environment of the Grant Ancient Ruins Boundary allowed Yang Kai to flaunt his skill before these Open Heaven Realm Masters. The Small Universes in their bodies were suppressed and sealed, making it impossible for them to mobilize their World Force. As such, killing these Open Heaven Realm Masters was now as easy as killing Emperor Realm cultivators.
