Martial Peak

eye, several people were brutally murdered, each of them a pillar among Zi Wu Ji’s supporters.

Blue veins throbbed on Zi Wu Ji’s forehead as he clenched his fists and turned in the direction of Yang Kai to roar, “Venerable Yang, stop him!”

Yang Kai just stroked his chin as he stood mid-air though and shook his head, “Second Young Master is asking for something quite difficult.
This King cannot see any flaws in Great Elder’s technique, so how is he supposed to stop him?”

These words were polite but clearly insincere.
Yang Kai had been forced into this battle and did not plan on exerting any real effort.
It did not matter to him what became of Purple Star, much less the lives of these people.

He just wanted to stall for time.

Once Xiao Xiao rescued Shen Tu and the others, he could leave this place immediately.

However, even just standing still and observing for a while, Yang Kai had already discovered some clues and gained some insight into how Gong Sun Liang’s trick worked.
What is more, if he used his Demon Eye of Annihilation, finding the real Gong Sun Liang would be simple.

Hearing Yang Kai’s irresponsible answer, Zi Wu Ji nearly coughed up blood from anger.

If all his people were killed, he wouldn’t need to keep fighting; after all, without any supporters, what point would there be in struggling any further? Glaring at the situation in front of him grimly, Zi Wu Ji eventually roared, “If that’s the case, then I ask Venerable Yang to seek a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood!”

Yang Kai raised his brow when he heard this and showed a smirk, “That’s easy enough.”

Saying so, he stretched out his hand and released several dozen Golden Blood Threads, all of which transformed into sharp flying blades that shot off in all directions like arrows.

*Xiu xiu xiu…*

Wind-splitting sounds echoed through the sky and soon, several screams rang out.

Eight Origin Realm cultivators who were heavily engaged and had lost track of their surroundings were hit by Yang Kai’s Golden Blood Threads and their defensive Saint Qi and artifacts were instantly destroyed.
The Golden Blood Threads penetrated their vitals and directly reaped their lives.

With Yang Kai’s current cultivation, how could these Origin Returning Realm cultivators, who were already in the midst of battle, resist his sudden attack?

The Golden Blood Threads flew back and forth again, once again taking a number of lives.

After only ten breaths, Yang Kai had caught up to Gong Sun Liang in terms of kills.

Gong Sun Liang roared in anger.
Origin Realm cultivators were the indispensable backbone of any great force; after all, very few could reach the Origin King Realm.
Often, the strength of a great force depended not only on the number of Origin Kings it commanded but also on the number of Origin Realm masters it could dispatch.

After today’s war, no matter who won and who lost, Purple Star’s foundation would suffer severe damage.

This was a result that neither Gong Sun Liang nor Zi Wu Ji were willing to see, but it was an unavoidable result.

The end of one era and the arrival of another was always accompanied by much blood and sacrifice.

High up in the sky, all the Origin Realm masters, and even the First-Order Origin Kings were terrified.
The situation at this moment was almost as if Yang Kai and Gong Sun Liang were engaged in a competition to see who could kill the most people the quickest, a contest to see who would be unable to bear the cost first and back down…

In front of these two Second-Order Origin Kings, no one was able to put up meaningful resistance.

Standing next to Zi Wu Ji, Li Mao Ming, who seemed to be uninterested in everything in the world, wore a heavy look on his face as he realized that Purple Star would really be finished if he did not make a move.

He never expected that things would develop to this point.

If he made a move now though, it would be akin to dropping a stone on his own foot because of what he had just said.

Just as he was feeling a terrible headache from this internal conflict, Gong Sun Liang suddenly roared, “Li Mao Ming, if you still remember the favour from all those years ago, you will help this old master stop that boy first! You don’t want to see Purple Star suffer such a heavy loss, right?”

Li Mao Ming frowned and hesitated, “This Li does not want to see his brothers and sisters die needlessly, but Second Young Master’s safety…”

“This old master won’t make things difficult for you! This old master swears he won’t move against Second Young Master, and even if this old master ends up controlling Purple Star in the end, he will ensure Second Young Masters safety and prosperity!”

Li Mao Ming’s expression turned to one of struggle.

Zi Wu Ji stared at Li Mao Ming in amazement, “Venerable Li, you wouldn’t…”

“Things have reached this point, so I cannot remain idle,” Li Mao Ming sighed, “You may rest assured.
With me, no one in this world can hurt you, mother and child.
I will fight with my life on the line to protect you both.”

Saying so, his figure flickered and disappeared from where he stood.

Zi Wu Ji was stunned for a moment before he began cursing angrily, accusing Gong Sun Liang of being sinister and contemptible and Li Mao Ming for failing to keep his word.
At this moment, he no longer had any scruples, completely discarding his prior elegant demeanour.

He was truly angered.

Li Mao Ming was constrained by the favour he owed Gong Sun Liang and was forced to fight Yang Kai.
As a result, Zi Wu Ji was bound to suffer a complete defeat in today’s battle.
Even though Li Mao Ming said he would protect his safety and Gong Sun Liang also promised his safety and prosperity, the leadership of Purple Star, a position which stood above trillions of others, was not something he would ever get a chance to acquire again.

The only hope was if Yang Kai could defeat both Gong Sun Liang and Li Mao Ming!

But how could that be possible? All three of them were Second-Order Origin Kings, so their strengths should be similar.
In that situation, one person couldn’t defeat two.

Despair soon filled Zi Wu Ji’s eyes.
