Chapter 2808
“In that case, go ahead and try! I refuse to hand over the Heavenly Thunder Fruit!”
Kai responded calmly, showing no signs of fear.
Enraged by Kai’s refusal, the man pulled out a formation disk. With a powerful gesture, he activated it, causing it to explode in mid-air, enveloping Kai and himself in a brilliant white curtain of light!
“Listen up, kid! This is a forbidden formation. We’re now trapped in a locked part of space, and you won’t be able to see anything from the outside or escape this formation!”
“I’ve sacrificed a lot to obtain these three Heavenly Thunder Fruits…”
The man grinned smugly, his aura surging dramatically!
It was clear that the formation disk in his possession had cost him dearly; as a pill master, he wouldn’t have been able to carve it himself!
By using the formation disk directly, he had indeed spent a fortune!
“I didn’t want this to escalate into a confrontation, but if you insist, don’t say I didn’t warn you…”
Kai shook his head, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
“You’re just a second-ranked cultivator of the Combined Body realm. How can you make such bold claims? It seems you really underestimate my power! I’ll teach you a lesson!”
With that declaration, the man soared into the air, launching a powerful fist toward Kai!
His strength was immense, tearing through the air with a deafening noise!
Thanks to the formation, the man felt emboldened, unafraid to reveal his true strength!
He closed the distance to Kai in an instant!
Kai merely observed, and as the man came within reach, he raised his hand to effortlessly block the fierce punch!
“You ……”
The man was taken aback, unable to comprehend how a mere second-ranked cultivator of the Combined Body realm could stop his blow so easily.
Moreover, the energy emanating from Kai was surprisingly formidable!
“Surprised, aren’t you? There’s even more to come.”
Kai smirked, and in an instant, the divine Dragon Force within him erupted with tremendous power, sending the man flying backwards!
“What kind of power is this…? It’s terrifying!”
The man plummeted from the sky, disbelief etched across his face.
Kai didn’t respond; instead, he swiftly closed the gap and reached the man!
The man, filled with dread, swung his fist in a desperate attempt to fend off Kai’s oncoming assault!
But his efforts were futile!
Kai’s punches rained down like a relentless storm!
In mere moments, hundreds of strikes were unleashed, forcing the man to retreat rapidly!
Even the forbidden formation shattered beneath the ferocity of Kai’s attack!
Blood spilled from the man’s mouth as he leaned against the wall, terror written all over his face!
He had never imagined that his strength as a fifth-ranked cultivator of the Harmony Realm would be utterly powerless against Kai, a second-ranked cultivator!
If he had known how this would turn out, he would never have dared to steal the Heavenly Thunder Fruit from Kai!
As he looked into Kai’s cold eyes, fear overtook him, and he begged for mercy, “Brother, we are both pill masters. Please let me go! We share a bond through the Jade Tripod Sect!”
It was clear that the man was aware of Kai’s affiliation with the Jade Tripod Sect, especially since he had been seen with the Third Elder—many, especially the Pill Masters at the Pill Master Meeting, knew of him.
“If I had been lying in your position just now, would you have spared my life simply because I was a Pill Master from the Jade Tripod Sect?”
Kai asked pointedly, raising an eyebrow.
The man fell silent, unable to formulate a reply, knowing full well he would have never shown mercy to Kai.
Seeing the man’s lack of response, flames began to flicker above Kai’s right hand. “Since you wanted to threaten me with the Bone Etching Scatter, I’ll return the favor by refining you with my spirit fire…”
