Chapter 2870
When Gao Qilan witnessed the unfolding situation, her expression turned quite grim!
“You’re from the Gao family?” Kai remarked, glancing at Gao Qilan with a hint of surprise!
Gao Qilan nodded in acknowledgment, “That’s correct, but unfortunately, even the Gao family can’t help me now…”
A self-deprecating expression crossed Gao Qilan’s face as she realized the Gao family’s influence wasn’t as significant as she had believed!
Since Gao Qilan seldom ventured outside, her understanding of the world beyond was quite limited.
“The Gao family may not be able to assist you, but I can. However, you must agree to give me all the Ice Soul Fragments,” Kai stated, calmly following Gao Qilan into the midst of the formation!
Gao Qilan was taken aback, staring at Kai in disbelief. It was evident that he was in imminent danger, so how could he make such a bold offer?
“Hahaha! Kid, are you foolish? You’re trapped in a formation and on the brink of death, yet you still dare to speak like that!”
“I can crush you in this formation right now; let’s see how you can save her!”
As the one-eyed man concluded his taunt, he waved his hand, commanding the formation to contract, with a shimmering curtain of light closing in on Kai!
Kai regarded the tightening curtain of light with an unfazed demeanor!
“You think this flimsy formation can trap me? I can escape any formation, no matter how powerful!”
With a cold laugh, Kai summoned a flash of white light in his palm and struck the curtain of light with a swift slap!
With that powerful strike, the compressed light curtain shattered like glass and vanished into thin air!
“This ……”
The one-eyed man was left in shock, witnessing his costly formation disk being broken by Kai with just a single blow.
The other two men also stared in disbelief!
It was clear that Kai had easily dismantled the formation, indicating that he must be a highly skilled formation master!
“I had no idea you were a formation master…”
The one-eyed man remarked, his frown deepening.
“I’m more than just a formation master; I possess a vast array of knowledge. Since you attempted to trap me, it’s time you experience my formation!”
As Kai finished his words, he swiftly began to weave intricate gestures, and a beam of light descended, enveloping the one-eyed man!
Seeing this, the man frantically swung his weapon, attempting to slash through the formation.
However, the moment he made contact with the formation’s edge, a tremendous force repelled him, and flames erupted from within!
“Ah ……”
The one-eyed man screamed in agony, unable to comprehend that Kai was an advanced formation master!
The other two, witnessing the man’s distress, were so frightened that they turned and fled!
Kai observed the retreating figures but chose not to pursue them. Instead, he waited patiently for the formation to dissipate and the flames to extinguish!
If the three men had attacked Kai together, he might not have been able to fend them off, considering they were three 5th-ranked cultivators of the Harmonious Body realm. Thus, he opted for his best strategy: trapping the one-eyed man and incinerating him with the Supreme Fire!
After all, a cultivator of that rank wouldn’t be harmed by ordinary flames!
Fortunately, the remaining two men were oblivious to the Supreme Flame and misjudged Kai’s intentions, leading them to flee in terror!
Kai searched through the one-eyed man’s belongings before turning back to Gao Qilan!
In that moment, Gao Qilan looked at Kai, her eyes wide with fear!
She couldn’t believe the extent of Kai’s power, realizing he didn’t regard three fifth-ranked cultivators of the Harmonious Body Realm as a threat!
“Now that you’re safe, hand over that Ice Soul Fragment,” Kai said, extending his hand towards Gao Qilan.
Gao Qilan hesitated slightly; after all, the Ice Soul Fragment was a prized treasure, and anyone in possession of it would be reluctant to part with it easily.
