Chapter 4480
Patriarch Zhou frowned in confusion, expressing his bewilderment, “I’m not sure what this guy is up to. Is he trying to provoke us into taking action against him?”
“Patriarch, what does Kai hope to achieve by enticing us to make a move? He can’t possibly be our match, can he?”
Heavenly Fury chimed in, clearly incredulous!
“It’s obvious that someone from the Xiao Imperial Dynasty is backing this guy. If we act against him, they’ll retaliate against us,”
Tian Luo elaborated.
“That makes sense. For now, let’s avoid confronting him and just keep an eye on his movements,”
Patriarch Zhou decided, cautious about the unknown intentions of Kai. He resolved to follow closely to see what Kai would do next.
Just as Patriarch Zhou and his companions prepared to shadow Kai, a sudden tremor rippled through the air, and two elderly men appeared beside them!
Patriarch Zhou couldn’t hide a flicker of displeasure upon seeing the newcomers, though he kept it to himself.
“Old Zhou, the Alliance Master was concerned you might struggle, so he sent us along,”
one old man, donned in a black robe with long eyebrows, informed him.
“Old Cao, how could I possibly struggle against a mere seventh-rank Transitional Abruptions realm cultivator?”
Patriarch Zhou responded, a hint of irritation in his voice.
“Old Zhou, if you were truly capable, you wouldn’t have allowed Kai to escape and would have taken action by now,”
another elder remarked with a smirk. “A fourth-rank Mahayana cultivator cowering before a seventh-rank Transitional Succession realm individual shows that the Alliance Master made the right call sending us here.”
“Old Sun, enough of the sarcasm. Just try to capture Kai if you can,”
Patriarch Zhou shot back coldly.
All of them were fourth-rank Mahayana cultivators affiliated with the Demon Sealing Alliance, which naturally led to some rivalry and tension among them.
The Celestial Realm is indeed vast…
“Alright, then I’ll show you how to capture Kai…”
Old Sun declared confidently, stepping forward and extending his palm, creating a ripple in the void before him!
Kai, who had been on his way, sensed the imminent danger and immediately went on high alert!
With the Dragon Slashing Sword in hand, he unleashed a blade of light that sliced through the rippling void.
Old Sun scoffed and waved his hand dismissively, “Return!”
Suddenly, a colossal palm, akin to a mountain, reached for Kai, its five fingers closing in on him!
Boom!
Kai swung his sword fiercely, the blade’s light clashing against the palm, resulting in a thunderous explosion that shattered the hand!
However, the force of the encounter forced Kai to retreat several miles, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the Dragon Chopping Sword trembling in his grip!
Facing a fourth-rank Mahayana cultivator, Kai realized resisting was indeed a significant challenge!
Gazing at Old Sun, Kai felt a weight settle in his gut.
He sensed the true strength of the opponent at fourth rank in the Mahayana realm, and with more than one adversary present, he feared he might not stand a chance!
Just as he contemplated an escape plan, he discovered that his exit routes were blocked!
Surrounded, Kai furrowed his brows and knew he needed to devise a new strategy!
“If escape is off the table, then I’ll have to fight…”
Kai gritted his teeth, determination surging within him. The battle intent flared up, and the invincible sword intent within him began to swell, causing the Zhan Long Sword to emit a resonant hum that echoed in the skies!
Old Sun observed Kai with surprise, “You’re certainly not like the average seventh-rank Transitional cultivator. The fact that you shattered my giant palm with that sword indicates your strength has fully reached the Mahayana Realm.”
“Enough of the chatter! Let’s see how I’ll handle you today!”
Kai shot back defiantly, wiping the blood from his face as he charged at Old Sun!
