Ch 139: Yang Yifei’s Breakthrough To Saint Emperor
“You guess?” Yu Kai roared, wielding a long sword, his figure shooting towards the opponent like lightning.
Seeing Yu Kai’s attack, Yang Yifei soared into the air again, attempting to counter. However, empowered by the World Power of Venus, after Yang Yifei charged forward, he couldn’t withstand Yu Kai’s attacks for long and was violently sent flying.
He tumbled in the air, struggling to regain his footing. Seeing Yu Kai rapidly closing in again, in his panic, he caught sight of Tu Yulang hiding on the warship, and like grasping at a lifeline, swiftly flew towards him.
Yu Kai also saw Wu Xiaohu’s figure on the warship, his heart burning with anxiety; without hesitation, he charged forward.
Tu Yulang was terrified, screaming at the Heavenly Soldiers on the warship: “Loose arrows, fire arrows quickly!” Countless arrows shot out like a downpour, with sharp whistles, attempting to stop Yu Kai’s attack.
Yu Kai showed no fear; a sword energy sliced through the air, and the rapidly approaching arrow rain instantly turned to ash. The powerful blast wave violently rocked the warship, nearly capsizing it. Countless Heavenly Soldiers were sent flying by this force, crashing onto the warship, the scene a complete mess.
Looking at Wu Xiaohu in Yang Yifei’s hands, his eyes bloodshot, he stepped forward, gritting his teeth: “Spare him, or you will all die today!”
Seeing Yu Kai still approaching, Yang Yifei’s face darkened. He planted his halberd in front of him, raised his right fist, and snarled: “Dare to come closer? Do you think I’m joking?” Then, he slammed his fist into Wu Xiaohu’s chest. The punch was extremely powerful, containing immense spiritual energy, directly shattering Wu Xiaohu’s meridians. His body was bursting apart; “Pop pop!” sounds were incessant, and the immense pain made the already miserable Wu Xiaohu even more horrific. His eyes widened, he spat out large mouthfuls of blood, then fainted.
“Ah! I’ll kill you all!” Yu Kai roared, his eyes blood red, raising his long sword and charging at Yang Yifei like a furious lion; spiritual energy surged around him, his aura terrifying.
Seeing Yu Kai’s madness, a cruel look flashed in Yang Yifei’s eyes, and he threw Wu Xiaohu out like a rag. Yu Kai could only abandon his attack, desperately reaching out to catch Wu Xiaohu. However, just as he caught Wu Xiaohu, Yang Yifei took advantage of his unguarded moment and fiercely thrust his halberd.
Such a swift and ruthless strike gave Yu Kai no time to react. The halberd instantly pierced Wu Xiaohu’s chest, then directly into his mecha. Wu Xiaohu spat out another mouthful of blood, his eyes hazy. He looked at Yu Kai, his lips trembling, extremely agitated, as if he wanted to say something, but instead, he coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. Yu Kai completely ignored the intense pain in his body and quickly retreated, holding Wu Xiaohu.
Seeing that Yang Yifei didn’t intend to spare them, he madly poured his substantial spiritual energy into the halberd, violently pulling it out and attacking again with fierce killing intent. Wherever the halberd passed, the air was torn apart with sharp whistling sounds.
“Thief, die!” Xing Lan also had her two attendants attack from behind; Xingyao Immortal and Xingchen Boy, wielding long swords, their sword bodies flashing with icy gleam, creating a brilliant starlight, attacked from left and right, attempting to kill Yu Kai.
“Roar! Roar!” The five beasts, not yet fully restored, roared in anger, transforming into their true forms and charging out. The Golden Spirit Glutton, its body massive, the golden tumor on the tip of its tail glowing, slammed into Yang Yifei. Yang Yifei could only block with his halberd. “Boom!” A loud noise erupted as the tumor exploded, a pungent smell spreading. He immediately sensed something was wrong, covered his nose, and quickly retreated, his face extremely grim.
Le Jin Suanni’s horn shot out a metallic stream of light, this light incredibly hot, blasting towards Xingyao Immortal. Seeing this terrifying stream of light capable of melting everything, Xingyao Immortal could only abandon her attack on Yu Kai and clumsily dodge.
Just as Xingchen Boy’s long sword was about to pierce Yu Kai’s back, a solid cage appeared out of thin air to envelop him. He could only hastily dodge, but the Jinbo Xie Jiao’s thick and powerful tail struck him hard, sending him flying like a shell.
Jun Yao and Xing Lan, seeing the Lingting Bashou and Town Gold Roar Venerable charging towards them, cried out, exerting their full strength and unleashing their ultimate skills, charging forward. For a time, light intertwined, spiritual energy overflowed, and the battle became even more intense.
Yang Yifei wanted to charge forward and kill Yu Kai, as this was the best opportunity, but the Golden Spirit Glutton’s devouring power was too strong, the invisible suction seemed to pull his soul out, forcing him to desperately resist. He looked at Huang Tianrui in the distance and shouted: “Brother Huang, why aren’t you taking this chance to kill Yu Kai?!”
Huang Tianrui looked at the chaotic scene, his heart conflicted. Gazing at Yu Kai quickly retreating while carrying Wu Xiaohu, he hesitated for a moment before chasing after him. However, before he had gone far, a sudden warning arose; a dark shadow, like a ghost, attacked. He instinctively wielded his battleaxe to defend. “Ding!” A sound resonated as the dark shadow struck him, violently knocking him away. His body, like a shell, heavily crashed into the ground. “Boom!” A loud noise echoed, a huge deep pit appearing on the ground, dust and smoke filling the air.
At this moment, Yang Yifei unexpectedly broke through to the Saint Emperor Initial Stage; a terrifying power erupted from within him like a flood, the immense intimidation causing the surrounding space to tremble. He forcefully thrust his halberd, sending the Golden Spirit Glutton flying. The Golden Spirit Glutton screamed, its massive body crashing into the ground like a meteor. With a booming sound, a mountain peak collapsed, rocks flying everywhere, and the entire earth trembled violently, as if a terrible earthquake had occurred.
He also saw the dark shadow attacking Huang Tianrui and instantly flew into a rage, roaring: “Shadow Demoness Murong Shuang! You dare to return?!”
Murong Shuang, wielding the Shadow Demon Blade, her exquisite face grave, also sensed the immense power of Yang Yifei, knowing that he had definitely broken through. With her current strength, she dared not fight him, and using her strange Shadow Body Technique, she transformed into a dark shadow and quickly fled.
“Want to run!” Yang Yifei flung his halberd, his figure like lightning, chasing after her. A gale howled wherever he passed.
On the other side, Yu Kai tightly embraced Wu Xiaohu, his form flashing, instantly landing in a relatively quiet open space in the distance. He quickly removed his head mecha, looking at Wu Xiaohu, whose continuous coughing up of blood and weak breathing, his tears flowed like a broken dam, freely flowing down his grief-stricken face. He frantically wiped the blood constantly flowing from Wu Xiaohu’s mouth with trembling hands, frantically injecting him with the Life Force of the Wood Law, muttering: “Brother Xiaohu, you’ll be alright, you’ll be alright! You’ll definitely be alright!” His voice carried endless pleas, heartbreaking.
Wu Xiaohu, using his increasingly trembling hand, as if he would lose all strength the next second, grasped Yu Kai’s hand, extremely weakly shaking his head: “Young… Master… it’s… no… no use… My… my… soul is… is shattered.” Each word he spoke seemed to use up the last bit of his strength, his voice as weak as a flickering candle in the wind, about to extinguish at any moment. His eyes began to glaze over, but he still struggled to see Yu Kai before him, “Young Master… don’t… don’t grieve for me… being able to… accompany you… this… far… I… I’m satisfied…” Before he finished speaking, his hand fell limply.
