Powerful enemy!
Before he could finish his thought,
Dragon might enveloped the entire chamber, causing hearts to tremble with unease.
Ssss-hiss-hiss! Golden Blood Threads danced and jumped, radiating dazzling golden light.
A clear, resonant bird cry rang out. The Artifact Spirit, the Firebird, spread its wings, causing the temperature within the secret chamber to spike dramatically.
Yang Kai stood ready, prepared for battle!
Although the people before him were already like startled birds, Yang Kai harbored no intention of underestimating them. Facing superior numbers, he dared not be careless, especially since Qu Zheng remained completely unscathed.
Yang Kai had never fought Qu Zheng directly, only witnessing his fearsome display of power back in the Fallen Emperor Mountain.
That Great Sun Wish-Fulfillment Seal had left a deep impression on him.
Therefore, at the very outset, Yang Kai unleashed eighty percent of every tool at his disposal.
"Leader Qu, back when you were making things difficult for this junior, did you ever think you would see today?" Yang Kai regarded Qu Zheng coldly. "Our two factions had no major grievances, yet you relentlessly pursued me. The enmity from that day—this junior has come to repay it today. Hmm, I will send you to reunite with Qu Changfeng. After all, you were father and son. I imagine Qu Changfeng must be quite lonely right now!"
"Insolent brat!" Qu Zheng's expression turned savage in an instant, like a maddened beast.
Qu Changfeng's death was the greatest pain in his heart! He knew his own son—Qu Changfeng might have been a profligate and overbearing, but his talent was first-rate. Given time, he would surely have accomplished great things.
But who could have imagined that he would be directly killed by Yang Kai within the Fallen Emperor Mountain?
And now, this murderer stood before him, spouting such nonsense. No matter how even-tempered Qu Zheng was, he could not tolerate this, let alone the fact that his own temperament was fiery by nature.
"Good, good, good! You bully people too much, brat! If this old man does not kill you today, I swear I am not human!" Qu Zheng roared in fury.
As soon as his words fell, the remaining figures summoned their Artifacts. In an instant, the chamber blazed with light as energy surged and crashed.
As his voice faded, the long sword transformed into a streak of cyan light, shooting straight toward Yang Kai.
At the same time, the others also unleashed the power of their Artifacts, bombarding Yang Kai.
Yang Kai's expression was indifferent; he made no move to dodge, simply observing coldly, as if completely oblivious to the impending danger.
Boom! Boom! Boom!...
The Stone Puppet pounded its hard chest with one hand, producing deep, dull thuds. Like a crazed ape, it bared the fangs at the corners of its mouth. With each strike, its compact form swelled rapidly. In an instant, it became a stone giant over ten zhang tall, standing imposingly before Yang Kai.
The next moment, the combined power of the various Artifacts crashed upon it. The Stone Puppet's body erupted with blinding, fiery light, and crisp clashing sounds rang out incessantly. Yet it did not stir. Not only was there no intention of retreat, but not a single scratch seemed to appear on its form. It was only forced back a single step under the tremendous collective force.
The Stone Puppet's innate divine ability was to devour minerals. It could not only refine the essence of minerals but also absorb that essence to strengthen itself.
Over the years, the Stone Puppet had devoured countless minerals, most of them rare and of extremely high quality. This had provided great convenience for
Although these attacks were terrifyingly powerful, striking the Stone Puppet's body proved largely futile.
The hardness of the Stone Puppet's body was in no way inferior to a Void King-grade defensive Artifact.
Then, amidst the crisp sounds of impact, a muffled grunt and a wild, furious shout from Qu Zheng suddenly rang out.
Everyone frowned, unsure of what had happened to Qu Zheng.
Even Yang Kai was momentarily confused.
As the residual energy from the various Artifacts dissipated and the light faded, Yang Kai's gaze, looking past the Stone Puppet, fell upon Qu Zheng. He let out a soft exclamation, his expression turning peculiar.
He saw that protruding from Qu Zheng's chest was half a sword blade, as if someone had stabbed him through from behind. Blood gushed forth, his figure swayed unsteadily, and his face was deathly pale.
The sword was clearly of exceptional quality, definitely an Artifact at or above the mid-grade Void tier. A faint cyan glow writhed along the blade, constantly erupting with terrifying power from within the sword, continuously ravaging Qu Zheng's body, making his already dire situation far worse.
