"Ah!!!"
Suddenly, two sharp screams pierced the air, causing Ye Kai to freeze for a moment.
Then he couldn't help but chuckle, a sneer creeping onto his face as he took in the scene before him.
It turned out that the owners of the voices were the two women, their hair disheveled, faces pale, and blood splattered across their chests. Meanwhile, the Young Scholar who had previously spoken so confidently about avenging his deceased brother suddenly let out a strange sound. Overcome with fear, he abandoned his companions and turned to flee.
"Trying to run... Heh, do you think you can escape?"
Ye Kai scoffed, casually tossing out a flash of golden light. A long rope-like artifact shot forth, expanding infinitely as if it could stretch without limit.
The scholar had barely covered a distance of ten meters when he suddenly halted. The surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be manipulated by some force, pressing down on him relentlessly. A dark golden long whip coiled around him like a spirit snake, binding him tightly.
The Shifting Whip had not been used by Ye Kai for quite some time, but now that it was unleashed, he was confident in its effectiveness. There was no way the scholar could escape. If the young man had sufficient strength, he might have used an escape talisman instead of running blindly.
However, it was likely that he either didn't possess such a talisman or had already exhausted his supply—or perhaps he was simply too frightened to remember it.
"Kill me! Go ahead! Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off!"
Unfortunately for him, the scholar clearly lacked the ability to break free from the long rope. After a futile struggle, despair washed over his face as he began to scream madly.
As the light on the Shifting Whip flickered, there was a muffled thud, and the frantic cries abruptly ceased.
Raising an eyebrow, Ye Kai retracted the dark golden long rope and with a flick of his wrist, a mass of flesh was flung from the whip into the air, scattering into a misty cloud of blood.
Had the scholar not been running so fast and lost all composure, Ye Kai might have needed to exert more effort to kill him. But after witnessing several of his companions die and realizing that one of his trump cards—the spirit beast—had shattered as well, the scholar's resolve wavered. His face turned pale with evident fear.
However, if he had stayed put or even begged for mercy without any principles or dignity, Ye Kai might have allowed him to live a little longer while focusing on dealing with the two women. Instead, this cowardly act of attempting to flee during their confrontation only drew contempt from both Ye Kai and the two women.
Unfortunately, having taken action today, Ye Kai would not allow anyone to leave alive. Moreover, the group behind him was likely closing in fast, leaving him no time to hesitate.
By now, after experiencing numerous life-and-death battles and witnessing many schemes and betrayals, the continuous stimulation had hardened Ye Kai's heart even further.
A living person had just turned into a cloud of Blood Mist at his hands, yet he felt not a single ripple of emotion within.
In truth, it was not just Ye Kai whose heart had hardened.
The scholar had previously abandoned his companion to the enemy!
Among the two women before him, the older one watched as the scholar met such a gruesome fate without a trace of sorrow or anger; instead, her face revealed a mad delight as she quietly sprinkled some light yellow powder from her hand.
At the same time, the younger woman subtly moved her fingers, releasing a refreshing cold fragrance that spread from her body.
In this vast melting pot of the Cultivation World, it was likely that apart from those just emerging from seclusion or those who lived in the safety of Fushan Mountain, most people had long since grown accustomed to pretending to be friendly while secretly plotting murder.
This was not about morality; it was about survival—if you didn’t strike first, you would die. Often, death came in a most humiliating manner, even leading to utter annihilation.
The most terrifying fate was having one's soul extracted and imprisoned within a magical artifact as a spirit or being refined by those from the Demonic Path; that was true suffering worse than death.
Ye Kai had already noticed the movements of the two women. Suddenly, WIKI's three-dimensional projection emerged: "Lord God, an abnormal situation has been detected. The group behind is about to breach the collapsed passage. Please relocate immediately."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kai's heart stirred.
With a flick of his left hand, he aimed the Cryo Gun at the two women and immediately pulled the trigger. A blue-white Radiance burst forth, freezing both their Jade Hairpins and their shuttle-shaped magical artifacts.
At the same time, his pupils dilated to their maximum as he unleashed Mind Control with full force. The bodies of the two women suddenly froze in place. By the time they regained their senses, they let out piercing screams.
The older woman reacted most violently; just as her artifact was frozen and the beam of light was about to strike her, she ruthlessly kicked the corpse beneath her feet. At that moment, the Cryo Gun's beam exploded right at the center of the body.
"Get up!!!"
Suddenly, the woman opened her mouth and unleashed a Blood Arrow, screaming with disheveled hair. A wall of earth immediately rose up; to a cultivator, the explosive force of a Cryo Gun was utterly insignificant.
However, its purpose was to freeze, and it instantly encased the corpse of the young man in the Cloak of Azure Law in ice, violently slamming him against the earthen wall, causing ice shards to explode everywhere as he shattered.
"Ah!"
The younger woman let out a startled cry, covering her face with her sleeve and hurriedly retreating several steps.
Ye Kai's eyes flashed with brilliance as he swung his lightsaber, piercing through the air and instantly impaling her. With a loud bang, the sword energy surged into her body and exploded.
Only one person remained!
The continuous killings had left him somewhat numb. Such a young woman, driven by greed for treasure and thinking she could kill for it due to their numbers, ended up being ruthlessly slain by him. It was nothing short of ironic.
With a flick of his hand, the lightsaber transformed into a massive ten-meter blade and swung fiercely toward the woman who was still desperately channeling energy into the earthen wall.
"Boom!!!"
The sharp sword light sliced through the wall like tofu without any hesitation. The immense sword energy erupted, sending the woman flying back over ten meters until she crashed against a stone pillar, spitting out a large spray of Blood Mist.
"Let’s die together!"
At that moment, a cunning smile suddenly appeared on the woman's face. She screamed hoarsely while spitting out several more Blood Arrows. Simultaneously, a Cold Color Disc flew out.
It hovered above her head, emitting strange low sounds that sent chills down one’s spine.
"Die together?!"
Ye Kai scoffed; it seemed this was her Destined Artifact, well-hidden indeed. It turned out to be a growth-type magical tool. She must have been nurturing it to reach the Golden Core Stage to become a Fated Artifact.
"Want to fight to the death? Self-destruct your Destined Artifact? Just you?" He sneered coldly, flicking his robe sleeve. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, he floated back several dozen meters to the other end of the hall and shouted, "Kill!!!"
With a sharp shout from him, the Misty Blue Beam surged forth once again, covering the ground in a flurry of energy.
Amidst it all, a blue-white beam intertwined, and the woman's protective Energy Barrier shattered at the slightest touch. At the same time, she let out a piercing scream as the disc above her head wailed and exploded into a mass of fragments.
A strange, water-like black mist poured down, instantly filling the area within a ten-meter Scope.
Ye Kai's expression changed, his face growing serious.
Watching as wisps of green smoke rose from the ground, the crackling sound sent chills down his spine. Fortunately, he had not chosen to confront it head-on, nor had he used an incomplete version of the authentic Flying Sword.
Otherwise, he truly did not know what might have happened.
Such a terrifying magical artifact was indeed malicious to the extreme.
This woman's intentions were incredibly ruthless as well!
It wasn't until the Life-and-Death Moment that she finally summoned her Destined Artifact.
Even with her companions falling one after another, nothing could force her to reveal her trump card. It was only at the very last moment that she finally made her move. Thankfully, they managed to take her down; otherwise, who knew how many troubles would await him in the future.
