Chapter 2721
Kai had dedicated three days to secluding himself in his room, immersing himself in the study of the Running Thunder Palm.
Throughout this period, a figure materialized within Kai’s consciousness, continually demonstrating various palm-print techniques. All the knowledge from ancient texts was deeply imprinted in his mind!
By the end of these three days, Kai had a solid understanding of the essence of the Penning Thunder Palm, though he recognized the necessity of repetition to truly solidify his skills!
“This technique is truly impressive…”
With that thought, Kai opened his eyes, a spark of brilliance flashing within them!
Having nearly mastered the Running Thunder Palm, he realized that his next steps involved consolidating his cultivation and seeking real combat experience!
“The Running Thunder Palm consists of nine levels of realm intent, and I’ve only reached the first level. I can only imagine the power it will wield when I attain the ninth level—could it even pierce the sky?”
Kai sighed, pondering the enigmatic realm intent of the Running Thunder Palm!
Suddenly, a series of knocks interrupted his musings!
When he opened the door, he was met by a guard from the Imperial City, clad in shining silver armor!
“Mr. Chen, the esteemed Princess Isha has summoned you…”
The guard spoke with utmost respect!
“Isha? What could she possibly want from me?”
Kai felt a wave of surprise wash over him; he couldn’t fathom why Princess Isha would send for him. Knowing her nature, if she truly sought him out, she would have come personally rather than sending a guard!
“I’m afraid I cannot say, Mr. Chen. You’ll need to inquire directly with Princess Isha!”
The guard replied, a hint of embarrassment in his tone.
Without questioning further, Kai followed the guard out!
However, as they moved forward, Kai frowned at the realization that they were heading towards the outskirts of the Imperial City!
“Is Princess Isha waiting outside the city?”
Kai asked, confusion etched on his face!
“Yes, it seems that Princess Isha mentioned having a surprise for you, though I’m not privy to the details!”
The guard chuckled in response.
Upon hearing this, Kai’s doubts faded, replaced by a faint smile. “This Princess Isha certainly knows how to create a spectacle. I wonder what surprise she has in store for me this time!”
Relaxing his guard, he followed the guard outside the Imperial City, making their way toward the nearby mountains!
Meanwhile, deep within the mountain forest, Li Xing was concealed with a few of his men and Hu Ben!
“Brother Li Xing, even though Kai doesn’t seem to possess a high realm, his strength is considerable. I faced him in the Imperial City; as you saw, I attempted to intercept him with my men, but I fear I wouldn’t stand a chance!”
Hu Ben expressed his concerns, knowing that his words were laced with ulterior motives. He wanted Li Xing to take action, hoping that if Li Xing were to eliminate Kai, he would not bear the repercussions from the Ichthus Demon Emperor!
The two of us can’t handle him!”
“Besides, you have a magical weapon specifically designed to combat humans. Why the worry?”
Hu Ben continued, “If the two of us take down Kai, it would be a significant embarrassment…”
Li Xing regarded Hu Ben’s anxious demeanor with a knowing smile, understanding the motivations behind his words but choosing not to confront him, as he still required Hu Ben’s assistance.
As Kai followed the guard deeper into the dense forest, he noted that the guard showed no signs of stopping!
Kai’s frown deepened, and he extended his divine sense, which expanded to encompass several miles around him!
Li Xing and Hu Ben, who had been lying in wait for a surprise attack, realized their cover had been blown the moment they were enveloped by Kai’s overwhelming divine sense!
Once Kai had spread his divine awareness, he quickly detected the presence of others lurking nearby. His expression hardened as he exclaimed, “How dare you deceive me?”
