Chapter 4442
“Let me give it a shot ……”
Kai gripped the Dragon Slashing Sword firmly and began to ascend the ladder with deliberate steps!
“Mr. Chen, I’m really worried. Even I can’t break this prohibition,” Cen Biqing expressed her concern!
“Don’t fret, even if I can’t dismantle this prohibition, I’ll be just fine,” Kai replied with a gentle smile before continuing his ascent!
Since Kai wasn’t the one imposing the prohibition, he could climb the ladder without triggering any traps!
“You all go ahead first. Once you’re up there, stay put. I’ll work on breaking the prohibitions on both the third and fourth floors!”
He instructed Ji Yun and the others to head up to the fourth floor, aiming to clear the way for Cen Biqing!
With that, Ji Yun and the others nodded and made their way to the fourth floor, while Kai said to Cen Biqing, “Miss Qing, don’t trigger the prohibition. I’ll handle it!”
“Understood!” Cen Biqing affirmed, slowly making her way up the steps!
As soon as she stepped onto the ladder, a buzzing sound echoed, and a brilliant white light erupted, revealing countless tiny mysterious runes in the surrounding void. These runes emanated a peculiar power that sent Cen Biqing hurtling backward!
Upon witnessing this, Kai swiftly swung his palm, causing a formation rune to appear in his hand!
In an instant, his palm struck the forbidden formation, leading to a fierce clash between the two runes!
The void quivered with energy …
Cen Biqing watched in astonishment, unable to fathom how Kai, a Ferrying Realm cultivator, could contend with the forbidden formation within this tower!
Meanwhile, as Kai successfully broke the forbidden formation, Ji Yun and the others, who had already reached the fourth floor, were left speechless by the scene before them!
The fourth floor was overflowing with treasures, all shimmering with divine light, clearly not of this world!
“There are so many treasures …” Lin Keting exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement!
“Mr. Chen warned us not to move anything carelessly,” Ji Yun reminded Lin Keting, concerned she might rush to grab the treasures!
“Don’t worry, I won’t take any. Even though these treasures are tempting, they’re not worth the risk,” Lin Keting assured him!
She wasn’t foolish; she recognized the dangers lurking in this tower. Sacrificing her life for these treasures simply wasn’t worth it!
“That’s a relief …” Ji Yun nodded in agreement!
However, just as Ji Yun finished speaking, a figure suddenly darted toward the treasures!
It was the Thunder Beast, unable to contain its excitement at the sight of the riches!
Having followed Kai and the others to seek out treasures, now that the opportunity had presented itself—and with Kai absent—it intended to snatch the treasures and flee!
Ji Yun and the others realized it was too late to stop him!
They watched as the Thunder Beast reached for a treasure, but just as it was about to touch it, something seemed to trigger. The creature’s expression morphed into one of horror, its entire body ensnared by an unseen force!
“Help me, someone save me …” the Thunder Beast cried out in panic, but no one moved to assist!
After all, they had no loyalty to the Thunder Beast, and since it sought to exploit the situation to grab the treasure, Ji Yun and the others felt no obligation to intervene!
Suddenly, a pillar of light struck the Thunder Beast, and to their astonishment, its body began to disintegrate piece by piece!
Within moments, the Thunder Beast was gone, its divine essence snuffed out!
Ji Yun and the others gaped at the shocking scene!
They realized that had any of them attempted to seize a treasure, they might have met the same fate!
It was nothing short of terrifying …
The sheer power they witnessed was unlike anything any of them had ever encountered, capable of obliterating a Mahayana Realm cultivator like the Thunder Beast in an instant!
