Chapter 2961
“Hey kid, you’re out of your mind! How dare you speak to my father like that? Are you asking for trouble?”
“Do you realize my father has reached the pinnacle of the ninth rank in the Harmonious Body Realm? Defeating you would be as easy as squashing an ant!”
“Even if all of you are at the seventh or eighth rank in the Harmonious Body Realm, what do you think you can do? My father could wipe you all out by himself.”
Ning Can was furious, hurling insults at Kai!
“You’re seeking death…”
Kai scoffed, coolly waving his hand in Ning Can’s direction!
With a mere flick of his wrist, a sharp crackling sound echoed through the air!
In an instant, a bolt of electricity struck Ning Can!
“How dare you touch my son…”
Ning Cai Chen furrowed his brow, quickly pulling Ning Can behind him. He then retaliated with a swift palm strike, matching Kai’s attack head-on!
It’s important to note that Kai was only at the fourth rank of the Harmony Realm, while Ning Cai Chen had reached the peak of the ninth rank!
The disparity in their power was staggering!
If Kai had faced Ning Cai Chen head-on, he would have been obliterated instantly!
Boom …………
With a resounding impact, the two forces collided!
Due to the rushed nature of their strikes, Ning Cai Chen had not unleashed his full power, and likewise, Kai had not gone all out!
After the clash of energies, Kai staggered back a couple of steps, while Ning Cai Chen remained steady, though his palm tingled as if shocked!
Ning Cai Chen stared at Kai, astonished and puzzled, unable to comprehend how a fourth-ranked cultivator could withstand his blow!
Even without using his full strength, Kai should have been sent flying, likely injured or worse!
Yet there Kai stood, seemingly unscathed!
“Damn you ……”
Ning Can was seething, ready to unleash a torrent of curses at Kai, but Ning Cai Chen cut him off with a fierce glare!
Kai looked back at Ning Cai Chen, a cold smile playing on his lips. “Do you still believe victory is guaranteed?”
Ning Cai Chen remained silent, his gaze fixed on Kai. He then glanced at Gao Qisheng and Old Sun!
It was clear that these individuals were aligned with Kai, ready to stand and fight alongside him. If a confrontation arose, none would escape unscathed!
This meant that the Ning Clan’s victory was far from assured!
Even a win could lead to devastating losses!
Ning Cai Chen realized that his purpose for being there was not to engage in a battle!
“Let’s retreat…”
After a moment’s deliberation, Ning Cai Chen waved his hand, signaling the Ning family to withdraw!
“Dad, let’s ………”
“Be quiet.”
Before Ning Can could finish his sentence, Ning Cai Chen shot him a fierce look!
In no time, Ning Cai Chen led the Ning family away, abandoning their pursuit of Kai for the decapitation of his three Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagles, and forfeiting their claim to the three Heavenly Thunder Fruits he possessed.
As the Ning family departed, Kai and the others resumed their journey. With the key to the treasure securely in Kai’s possession, he felt no urgency!
It would be nearly impossible for the others to access the treasure without that key!
During their travels, Kai consumed the three Bloodthirsty Thunder Eagle beast pills, further enhancing his connection to the thunderbolt origin aura. Gradually, the thunderbolt origin star within Kai’s origin space began to shine brighter!
Kai’s understanding of the thunderbolt origin aura was already profound, allowing him to absorb and perceive it at an accelerated pace!
“I still possess the Supreme Flame. I wonder if I can use it to connect with the Fire Origin. If I can sense and absorb the Fire Origin Breath, that would be incredible!”
Kai pondered to himself, knowing that the more types of Origin Breath he could sense, the better his abilities would become!
After all, Kai still had much to learn about origin breaths!
