Martial Peak

ad to Du Si Si tremblingly and whispering, “Si Si, retreat!”

Du Si Si’s pretty face was completely white, apparently still in shock over the old woman’s death, turning her head to Cai He as tears leaked uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.

She was terrified!

Although she had encountered some dangers before today, this event was simply too shocking for her.
The moment the old woman burst into a blood fog was witnessed by Du Si Si clearly and even now, the severed head of the old woman was lying on the ground.
The old woman’s eyes were still spread wide and staring directly at Du Si Si, seemingly blaming her for not helping.

Such a tremendous mental shock caused Du Si Si to completely lose her ability to react, so she simply froze in place.

Even though she heard Cai He, she was unable to take a single step, fearing that if she moved, she would be the next to die.

Cai He saw this and new anxiety filled his face.
Although the puppet seemed to only be concerned about guarding the gateway, there was no way to know whether it would suddenly strike out at them.
Cai He certainly did not want to see the woman he was interested in die the same way as the old woman just had.

Gritting his teeth, Cai He’s body flickered as he rushed over to Du Si Si’s side, grabbed her, then fled without looking back.

Cai He didn’t stop until he arrived at the spot Yang Kai had landed, after which he collapsed to the ground a few metres away.
This brief action seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his teeth kept chattering in fear as he kneeled on the ground.

Du Si Si was not any better, the shock of recent events reducing her to a miserable state, her eyes still filled with fear and panic.

Although the old woman was just a First-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivator, while she was alive, she still gave these two young Array Masters some sense of security, but now that she was dead, leaving just three Saint King juniors behind, Du Si Si suddenly felt like there was no one here she could rely on.

Yang Kai’s expression was also extremely gloomy.
He had been struck by that giant stick just now and had yet to completely regain his faculties.
Fortunately, Yang Kai’s Golden Blood had extremely powerful restorative abilities; if it had been someone else who had taken that strike, they would likely need at least a few months to recover.

Swallowing a few healing pills, Yang Kai sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.

Regardless of what came next, his first priority was to stabilize his injuries, only after doing so could he begin thinking about how to leave this place.

Half a day later, Yang Kai opened his eyes and silently examined his condition.

Although his wounds had not been completely healed, they wouldn’t hinder his movements or his ability to fight anymore.
Cai He and Du Si Si also seemed to have recovered slightly and their conditions were much better than before.
However, Du Si Si’s eyes were still red and puffy while a gloomy expression filled her face.

Cai He’s state wasn’t as bad, but despair and helplessness were still apparent in his eyes.

This was not surprising though.
Since that puppet was able to kill the Origin Realm old woman with a single blow and it was tightly guarding the door, Cai He didn’t think there was any way he or anyone else here could safely escape.

After glancing at the two of them, Yang Kai frowned slightly, but said nothing before standing up.
Waving his hand, he summoned back his Purple Shield which had been blown away earlier.
Catching this shield, Yang Kai checked it for a moment and found that it had a noticeable dent in it and a crack along its surface at least a finger-width wide.
From the dim glow it was emitting, it had obviously lost a great deal of spirituality as well.

Seeing this, Yang Kai could not help shivering slightly.
This Purple Shield was a defensive artifact Yang Yan had enhanced twice to reach the Origin Grade High-Rank.
As the artifact that specialized in defense, its toughness was extremely high.

But even so, after a single hit from that giant jet-black stick, it had actually been reduced to such a state, highlighting just how terrifying the force behind that blow was.

Sighing slightly, Yang Kai put away the Purple Shield, preparing to have Yang Yan fix it once again after he went back.
Glancing over at the huge puppet a thousand metres away next, Yang Kai paused for a moment before wearing a dignified expression and walking over towards it.

“Brother Yang…” Cai He saw this and his expression shrank slightly as he hurriedly called out, “What are you planning on doing?”

“Testing its strength!” Yang Kai replied.

“Testing…” Cai He looked dumbfounded and said in amazement, “Isn’t that a bit too hasty?”

He had witnessed the old woman’s tragic death at the hands of this giant puppet so naturally he wasn’t optimistic about Yang Kai’s chances; after all, according to common sense, Yang Kai’s strength should be much lower than that old woman’s.

“Are you trying to make trouble!?” Du Si Si, who had been staring out soullessly for some time now suddenly screamed, “It finally stopped moving, yet now you’re going to provoke it on your own? Do you want to kill all of us?!”

Yang Kai shot her a cold glare.

Du Si Si shifted her eyes, seemingly a little afraid to look at him, but still anxiously argued, “That Senior died, if you die too, what are Cai He and I supposed to do?”

Although she was arrogant and thought highly of herself, never placing other cultivators in the same generation in her eyes, the more people there were here right now the more at ease she felt.
She did not really care about Yang Kai’s life, but she didn’t want to see him die here either because that would only make her feel less secure.

Yang Kai snapped back coldly, “Then what do you suggest we do?”

Du Si Si immediately lowered her head as she had no good answer to this question.
