Chengg Shaofeng was dead! Without any warning, he had died just like that at Yangx Kai’s hands.

Last time, when Yangx Kai fought the group of Fengyu Tower disciples, Hu Mei’er had watched from beginning to end. Although she knew his strength was astonishing, she never expected him to be this powerful!

Chengg Shaofeng, who was at the First Layer of the Origin Opening Realm, was killed by a single finger strike from Yangx Kai the moment they clashed!

What kind of Martial Skill was that? How could it possess such terrifying might? The hole in Chengg Shaofeng’s forehead had clearly been burned through by a Supreme Yang object.

In that moment, panic gripped Hu Mei’er’s heart. After witnessing Yangx Kai’s lethal methods with Momentum like Lei Ting, she finally realized his earlier words hadn’t been a joke.

He truly dared to kill, and he had the capability to do so!

Nu Tao was equally incomparably shocked. He had just exchanged a single punch with Yangx Kai and hadn’t even unleashed his second move before his junior brother died right in front of him. This sudden turn of events left him completely dumbfounded.

"You actually killed Junior Brother Chengg!" Nu Tao shrieked hoarsely. "What method did you use!"

The might of that finger strike was far too powerful; it was definitely some incredible Martial Skill. Fear crept into Nu Tao’s heart, afraid that he wouldn’t be able to block it.

"You’re going to die too!" Yangx Kai naturally understood the principle of pulling weeds up by their roots. These two had followed him here today with the intent to kill him. Facing such enemies, there was no way Yangx Kai would show mercy.

This situation was different from the last time. That was merely a group brawl, so Yangx Kai could afford to hold back. But facing enemies who wanted his life, showing mercy would just be plain stupidity.

Seeing Yangx Kai rushing hastily toward him, Nu Tao suddenly let out a savage sneer. "Stop bluffing, hand over your life!"

As he shouted, he threw out both fists and lunged forward to meet Yangx Kai. The opponent was only in the Body Tempering Realm, so how much Primordial Qi could he possibly have in his body? That previous move packed immense power, meaning its consumption was definitely not small. In other words, it was impossible for him to use that kind of method again.

That was why Nu Tao felt completely fearless!

Who would have thought that once they clashed, Nu Tao would realize he was wrong. This Yangx Kai could still mobilize Primordial Qi! Every time they exchanged blows, he could feel a Power of Heat radiating from Yangx Kai’s moves. This energy caused Nu Tao to suffer constant setbacks; despite having a higher Realm than Yangx Kai, he couldn’t suppress him at all.

Nu Tao brought out every trick in the book, shifting left and right, not daring to meet Yangx Kai head-on anymore. He merely wanted to fight a battle of attrition. Once the Primordial Qi in Yangx Kai’s body was completely exhausted, the opponent would be meat on the chopping block.

Nu Tao’s thoughts and strategy were not wrong. Against an ordinary Body Tempering Realm disciple, this method would be the most effective, absolutely guaranteeing he could take down his enemy at the smallest cost. But Yangx Kai was different. Having just absorbed the entirety of the Sun Flame Power from a Sun Flame Stone, the Primordial Qi in his Meridians was filled to the brim. If they really continued this war of attrition, Nu Tao might be the one to exhaust himself first.

Soon, Nu Tao realized something was wrong.

In the beginning, Yangx Kai’s performance truly resembled that of a Body Tempering Realm martial artist. Whether it was the speed of his fists or his Power Dao, though slightly stronger than an average person, they did not exceed the bounds of the Body Tempering Realm. However, as time went on, and accompanied by the various injuries Nu Tao inflicted upon him, Yangx Kai’s strength was actually rising steadily. Each punch was faster than the last, and his Power Dao grew heavier and heavier. What made Nu Tao dread him the most was that the Power of Heat attached to his moves was actually becoming thicker as well.

It was as if with the passage of time, this Yangx Kai’s strength was also rapidly growing.

He wondered what was going on. When a martial artist fought, their Combat Power would only decrease as the Primordial Qi in their body was consumed, so why was it the exact opposite for him?

In just the short time it took to drink a cup of tea, Nu Tao could no longer rely on his Body Technique to evade Yangx Kai’s attacks. Failing to dodge in time, his chest was smashed by Yangx Kai’s punch.

The heavy Power Dao almost left Nu Tao breathless, while the Power of Heat invading his body was as fierce as a raging fire.

Looking at Yangx Kai, whose eyes were Chi red, Nu Tao felt the urge to retreat!

Feinting a move, Nu Tao abruptly pulled back and sprinted rapidly into the distance, roaring as he panted, "Yangx Kai, you killed Junior Brother Chengg, you’re dead meat!"

As someone at the Fifth Layer of Origin Opening Realm, even if he couldn’t defeat his enemy, there was nothing his opponent could do if he wanted to escape. Nu Tao was very confident about this because, during their clash just now, he had noticed that Yangx Kai hadn’t Cultivated any Body Technique.

With Nu Tao fleeing, Yangx Kai couldn’t stop him. He could only watch helplessly as Nu Tao dashed a dozen zhang away. Suddenly, Yangx Kai had a thought, and the last drop of Yang Liquid in his Dantian flickered to his fingertip.

Immediately after, Yangx Kai reached out with his other hand and pulled at his fingertip. An astonishing scene unfolded.

In the blink of an eye, this single drop of Yang Liquid had surprisingly turned into a blood-red blade as thin as a cicada’s wing. The moment the blade took shape, it flew out under Yangx Kai’s command.

With a SWISH, a startling, bloody streak tore through the air and pierced right into Nu Tao’s back.

Nu Tao’s fleeing body instantly stiffened, and with a THUD, he collapsed to the ground.

The dense forest fell into a deep silence, with only the occasional chirping of insects and birds echoing through. Yangx Kai panted heavily, looking completely battered and exhausted.

Hu Mei’er’s legs trembled slightly. Her entire body ran cold as waves of chill swept through her heart. She hadn’t left because she wanted Yangx Kai to beg her for help when he could no longer hold on; then, she would be able to achieve her goal.

But what she never expected in a million years was that the two Fengyu Tower disciples who had come to assassinate Yangx Kai would actually end up killed by him instead.

These two were both in the Origin Opening Realm! One was at the First Layer and the other at the Fifth Layer. They joined forces against a Body Tempering Realm Yangx Kai, yet in the end, not only did they fail, but they also lost their lives.

Everything felt so surreal, so baffling.

Suddenly, Hu Mei’er’s expression shifted to shock. She noticed Yangx Kai turning his head, staring at her with an almost cannibalistic gaze. Deep within his eyes flashed a light that screamed of silencing a witness.

Hu Mei’er subconsciously took a few steps back.

"If you dare to move, you die!" Yangx Kai’s icy voice drifted over.

"I won’t move..." Hu Mei’er’s voice carried a hint of a sob. A warm spasm hit her lower abdomen, nearly causing her to lose control of herself on the spot.

She was truly terrified and couldn’t tell if Yangx Kai was going to kill her. In a matter of life and death, what could a young girl like her do? Although she was adept in the game of love, her actual strength wasn’t high at all.

Yangx Kai ignored her. Instead, he rushed over to Chengg Shaofeng and Nu Tao and thoroughly searched their bodies. In just a short moment, Yangx Kai looted some silver taels and two bottles of Elixirs.

There weren’t many Elixirs left in the two bottles, but they were still worth some money.

It wasn’t a loss! It was just a pity about his Condensed Yang Liquid. Now, there was nothing left in his Dantian. After that fierce battle, the True Yang Essence Qi in his Meridians had also been mostly depleted.

"Are you short on money?" Seeing Yangx Kai looting the two corpses, Hu Mei’er couldn’t help but summon her courage and speak up. "I can give you some, as long as you don’t kill me."

How could the current Hu Mei’er still dare to strut her stuff and flaunt her charms in front of Yangx Kai? She was even being extremely cautious with her words.

Yangx Kai shot her a flat glance. "I’m not some forest bandit, what would I want your money for? If I lack money, I’ll earn it myself!"
