Chapter 4794
Hongyao rolled her eyes and muttered thoughtfully, “That’s true… Why doesn’t the Huo family handle it themselves?”
“Because they know it won’t be easy to kill me,” Kai explained. “There are people backing me—people they don’t dare to offend. So instead, they put out a bounty and let others do their dirty work.”
“You have backing?” Lan Yao asked skeptically. “Someone stronger than the Huo family?”
Kai smirked. “The Huo family? They’re nothing. I could wipe them out with a flick of my wrist.”
“You’re just bluffing! Why should I believe you even have someone supporting you? Tell me, who is it?”
Lan Yao scoffed, unwilling to believe a mere third-stage Mahayana cultivator had any powerful backers.
“My supporter?” Kai pointed to himself. “It’s me.”
“You dare to toy with us?”
Furious, Lan Yao prepared to strike, convinced Kai was mocking them.
But just as she moved, a suffocating aura pressed down on her.
“Let’s see how you escape now!”
Tang Xiaoyi stormed toward them, his fury palpable. Without hesitation, he unleashed a devastating punch, aiming straight at Kai and the two sisters.
A strike at full force from a peak ninth-stage Mahayana cultivator carried the power to shatter the world itself!
Hongyao and Lanyao’s faces drained of color. It was too late to run.
Despair filled their eyes—they knew there was no escaping death this time.
But then—
Puff!
Tang Xiaoyi’s body suddenly stiffened before plummeting from mid-air.
His eyes widened in shock as he stared down at his chest.
A sword had pierced straight through his heart.
Dragon Slaying Sword…
The twin sisters stood frozen in disbelief. They hadn’t even seen how the blade appeared!
Tang Xiaoyi’s two followers instantly reacted, their powerful auras surging. They flanked their fallen master, eyes burning with fury.
Both were first-stage Immortal Realm cultivators, yet neither had even perceived the attack that had felled Tang Xiaoyi.
One of them stepped forward, fists clasped.
“Friend Chen,” he said in a grave tone, “we are from the Tang Sect. This man is our young master. We ask that you release him.”
For Kai to pierce Tang Xiaoyi’s body with a sword in an instant—right under their noses—there was no way his cultivation was merely at the third level of the Mahayana realm, as he had claimed.
Moreover, Tang Xiaoyi was a peak ninth-level Mahayana cultivator. How could a mere third-level cultivator possibly pierce his body with a single strike?
There was only one explanation—Kai had been hiding his true strength!
“Tang Sect?” Kai shook his head. “Never heard of it.”
Swish!
The Dragon-Slaying Sword shot back into Kai’s hand, slicing Tang Xiaoyi’s body clean in half. His soul and body were annihilated in an instant!
At the same time, Tang Xiaoyi’s storage bag flew directly into Kai’s grasp.
“A young master from a wealthy clan, indeed. So many treasures!”
After glancing inside the bag, Kai smirked and turned to the two Tang Sect monks.
“You’re welcome to seek revenge for your young master…”
The two monks exchanged uneasy glances—but neither dared to make a move!
The calmer Kai appeared, the more terrified they felt.
Their hands clenched into fists, an overwhelming aura radiating from their bodies, yet they remained frozen in place.
That sword strike still haunted them.
Both were Immortal Transformation Realm cultivators, yet neither had even seen how Kai had attacked!
They had assumed that, even if Tang Xiaoyi wasn’t a match for Kai, he wouldn’t be defeated so easily.
If the fight turned against him, they had planned to intervene.
But before they could even react, Tang Xiaoyi had been slain in an instant!
Only now did they truly understand why the Huo family had placed a 200,000 immortal stone bounty on Kai’s head.
His strength was worth far more than that!
After a long silence, the two monks finally withdrew their auras. Without a word, they picked up what remained of Tang Xiaoyi’s body and swiftly vanished into the sky.
