Under the anxious gaze of the warrior surnamed Hou, a powerful force suddenly descended upon his shoulder, so immense that he could not resist it at all. The burly man's body sank, and he collapsed face-first onto the ground, his face and nose caked with dust, utterly wretched. He struggled frantically a few times, but the large foot Yang Kai pressed on his shoulder was as heavy as a mountain, rendering him completely immobile. In an instant, his dust-covered, rugged face flushed a deep red, suffused with shame and fury.
A hundred zhang away, Yin Sudie and another warrior surnamed Luo, who had arrived together, stared at this unbelievable scene, frozen on the spot, unable to believe their eyes.
They had been following behind the surnamed Hou, approaching at an unhurried pace. Although they appeared to be chatting and laughing, they had witnessed the entire exchange between Yang Kai and Hou just moments ago.
The whole affair could only be described as happening in the blink of an eye.
Hou had launched his attack with imposing momentum and an imposing presence, shouting arrogant words for Yang Kai to get down. They had heard it all clearly. But in the blink of an eye, it wasn't Yang Kai who ended up groveling on the ground as they had imagined—it was their own fellow disciple, a cultivator not weak in strength.
How strong was the surnamed Hou? Both Yin Sudie and the surnamed Luo knew perfectly well. Among the Saint King Realm warriors within the Glazed Sect, his strength ranked within the top ten. Yet such an elite disciple had been beaten flat to the ground by Yang Kai in a single exchange, struggling like a dog and unable to turn himself over no matter how he tried. How could this not shock Yin Sudie and the surnamed Luo?
No one among all the Saint King Realm warriors in the entire Glazed Sect could accomplish something like this.
Did this mean this Yang Kai was far more powerful than those elites in the sect? The surnamed Luo's expression became troubled, and he swallowed hard in secret. Putting himself in his senior brother's position, he imagined that his own outcome would be no better.
Being defeated wasn't the critical issue; the key was losing face so spectacularly in front of Yin Sudie. Moreover, his senior brother had boasted so beforehand—presumably, he would have no face left to pester Junior Sister Yin in the future. Thinking this, amidst his shock, the surnamed Luo actually felt a flicker of schadenfreude, secretly delighted.
This was also the first time Yin Sudie realized Yang Kai was so formidable. Although she had seen him a few times before, she had never interacted deeply with him. Who would have thought such an obscure figure possessed such formidable methods?
Perhaps only Fang Tianzhong and Qu Changfeng could display such power? And moreover, he apparently had some connection with Senior Sister Dai Yuan.
Thinking thus, Yin Sudie wasn't just surprised. Instead, a peculiar light blossomed in her beautiful eyes, fixed unblinkingly on Yang Kai. After a moment's thought, she whispered to the surnamed Luo, "Senior Brother Luo, do you see that woman in the black robe over there?"
"Mm, what does Junior Sister require?" the surnamed Luo glanced towards Yang Yan upon hearing this.
"Can you quietly capture that woman?" Yin Sudie smiled sweetly, speaking as if it were a trivial matter.
The surnamed Luo's expression shifted slightly. Although he wanted to boast, he hesitated and said, "Junior Sister, just look at the situation. Even Senior Brother Hou couldn't withstand a single move from him. How could I possibly capture the woman right under his nose? Besides, he doesn't seem like someone easy to provoke. If we anger him over this, the loss would outweigh the gain."
"Rest assured, Senior Brother Luo. Since I'm making this suggestion, I naturally have a plan," Yin Sudie smiled faintly. "Leave him to me to distract. You only need to capture that woman."
The surnamed Luo still looked hesitant and didn't agree immediately.
Seeing this, Yin Sudie's pretty face dimmed slightly, but a glint flashed through her beautiful eyes as if she had thought of something. She said, "Senior Brother Luo, I know what you're worried about, but I'm only asking you to capture her, not hurt her. So you don't need to worry about him coming after you for revenge. Furthermore, although you may not be his match, with the 'Floating Light Fleeing Shadow' secret technique you've cultivated, I imagine he wouldn't be able to do anything to you, right? Or is it that Senior Brother cannot grant your Junior Sister this small request?"
Listening to Yin Sudie's words, the surnamed Luo pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. Since Junior Sister trusts me so much, leave the woman to me. But Junior Sister, you must also be careful. This surnamed Yang doesn't seem like an ordinary person. You absolutely must not suffer any loss at his hands."
He seemed extremely confident in his 'Floating Light Fleeing Shadow' secret technique. So, even though he had personally witnessed Yang Kai beating the surnamed Hou to the ground in a single move, he still agreed to Yin Sudie's request.
Yin Sudie giggled, her body swaying like a flower in the wind. "In a direct confrontation, I probably wouldn't even last ten moves against him. But why would I ever give him such a chance?"
