Chapter 2857
The immense pressure from the 8th rank of the Combined Body Realm bore down on Liu Ruyan like a colossal stone, threatening to crush her. If this force were to land on her, there would be no chance for Liu Ruyan to survive!
Seeing the old man, Kong, poised to strike down Liu Ruyan without hesitation ignited a furious response in Kai. He couldn’t stand by and watch her life be taken!
Despite knowing he was outmatched, Kai refused to let Liu Ruyan die before him without taking action!
In an instant, Kai positioned himself in front of Liu Ruyan and activated his Invincible Golden Body. Countless golden scales enveloped him, unleashing the combined might of the divine dragon and the powers of the three clans!
Boom …………
The old man’s overwhelming pressure struck Kai with brutal force. It felt as though a speeding train had collided with his chest, sending a wave of agony through his internal organs and launching his body into the air!
Poof …………
As he soared through the air, blood erupted from Kai’s mouth, and he crashed heavily onto the ground!
“Kai …………”
“Mr. Chen …………”
Liu Ruyan and the others rushed to help Kai to his feet!
“Kai, are you okay?” Liu Ruyan asked, her face filled with concern.
“I’m alright, don’t worry ……”
Kai managed a grin despite the blood trickling from the corner of his mouth!
The three onlookers were astonished to see Kai rise again, given that he was just a second-grade cultivator of the Harmonious Body Realm!
How could he possibly withstand the pressure exerted by an 8th-ranked cultivator of the Harmonization Realm?
“Old Kong, did you show him mercy?”
Zuo Qing questioned Old Kong!
If there had been no mercy shown, they believed there was no way Kai could be alive!
“I was just trying to intimidate him; I didn’t intend to cause any real harm ……”
Old Kong quickly defended himself!
Yet deep down, Old Kong was shocked. Only he understood that he hadn’t held back at all, and the power that Kai had just unleashed did not seem to belong to a mere second-rank cultivator of the Combined Body Realm!
“Old Kong, don’t try to downplay it; you clearly didn’t show mercy earlier.”
“This young man is truly remarkable. A second-level cultivator of the Harmony Realm, yet he unleashed such terrifying power. The aura he emitted feels different from yours and mine.”
“His aura is chaotic, as if it’s intertwined with the essence of both the devil and beast races—truly peculiar ……”
Another person, who had been silent, spoke up!
“I felt the same when Old Sun mentioned it; the aura this guy released is indeed unusual.”
“And that golden armor he manifested is equally extraordinary; I’ve never seen anything like it before.”
Zuo Qing added!
“For a mere second-rank cultivator of the Combined Body Realm to withstand my blow, with such a strange aura and golden armor protecting him, it seems likely he possesses some kind of treasure!”
“It’s possible that the vision we witnessed was a result of the treasure he holds ……”
After Old Kong finished speaking, his aura flared once more. With a stern expression, he looked at Kai and declared, “Kid, surrender the treasure you have, and I can spare your life. Don’t think you can survive just because you managed to withstand my strike.”
“I could easily crush you at any moment; you’d better think wisely ……”
Kai met Old Kong’s greedy gaze with cold determination!
“As I’ve said, we possess no treasures. If you insist on not letting us go, then I will have to fight.”
Kai spoke with unwavering resolve!
“Fight?” Old Kong was taken aback, then burst into laughter, “What can you possibly do against us with your second-rank Combined Body Realm strength?”
“Ruyan, you and the others step back a bit ……”
Kai instructed Liu Ruyan and the others to retreat!
Liu Ruyan, uncertain of Kai’s intentions, complied and led the group backward!
