Chapter 4891

But Ning Zhi didn’t listen—his eyes were glowing with excitement.

“If we go to the heavens, can we come back?” Kai asked.

“I don’t know. Whether you can return depends on your own abilities. If you become the master of the universe, you can travel through any universe at will. If you become a true god in the heavens, you can move freely between worlds.”

“But with your current strength, surviving in the heavens will already be difficult—coming back is out of the question.”

Though the boy’s words weren’t pleasant to hear, they were undeniably true.

Kai felt a bit awkward, then looked at the boy and asked, “Thank you, senior. Since you stayed behind to guide us, did you prepare a gift for me?”

“Don’t start with that—I’ve got nothing. My master never gives me anything good.”

As soon as the boy finished speaking, his figure vanished instantly—probably afraid Kai would keep pressing him for gifts.

Watching the boy disappear, Kai smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to the white beam of light before him, hesitating.

He wasn’t sure whether he should go to the heavens now or remain in the world of Heaven and Man for a while, training until he had the power to ascend on his own.

If he went now, he had no idea whether he’d be able to return.

There were still people he hadn’t said goodbye to.

And Su Yuqi hadn’t been found yet—Kai couldn’t bear to leave just like that.

While Kai was lost in thought, staring into the light, Ning Zhi gave Su Yuqi a subtle wink.

Without warning, Su Yuqi slashed at Kai with her sword!

Flames blazed along the blade, and the sudden attack caught Kai completely off guard.

He never imagined that the two people who had journeyed with him all this time would turn on him in an instant.

Puff!

A deep gash opened across Kai’s back, and blood sprayed out. He staggered, nearly collapsing to the ground.

“Brother Ning, what are you doing?!”

Kai looked at Ning Zhi, his face full of disbelief.

“Kai, I won’t let you ascend to the heavens. I’m going to kill you!”

Ning Zhi roared, his eyes filled with fury and murderous intent.

Sensing the intensity of that killing intent, Kai frowned.
“Are you really Ning Zhi?”

“Hahaha, yes, it’s me…”

Ning Zhi removed his mask.

Seeing the familiar face, Kai laughed, “Even if you hurt me, you’re not my equal!”

“Kai, I may not be able to defeat you, but my sister can!”
Ning Zhi declared, turning to Su Yuqi, “Senior sister, finish him!”

Without a word, Su Yuqi swung her sword at Kai.

Kai’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he unleashed the Dragon Slashing Sword, sending forth a fearsome surge of sword intent!

Boom!

The surge shattered, and Kai’s form was immediately blown backward!

At that moment, Kai’s injured state had significantly weakened his strength.

Ning Zhi’s face broke into a grim smile—he had been waiting for this moment.

“You’re asking for death!”

Furious, Kai’s indestructible golden body began to envelop him, as a terrifying spiritual power surged through his veins.

Su Yuqi attacked again with her sword, but Kai remained as calm as still water. He calmly observed her strike before the Dragon Slashing Sword in his hand erupted into dazzling golden light.

With a roar like a dragon, a golden dragon materialized behind Kai and then charged directly at Su Yuqi, trailing a brilliant sword light!

Su Yuqi’s sword light was instantly overpowered, and she was sent flying backward!

Kai was right—despite his injuries, he was unmatched!

As Su Yuqi was propelled backward, Kai leaped forward. The Dragon Slashing Sword in his hand followed his momentum in a powerful slash.

“Die…”

At that moment, Kai held nothing back—even if his opponent was a woman!

But just as his sword was about to cleave Su Yuqi in two, the mask on her face suddenly fell away!

A face so familiar to Kai appeared before him that he could hardly believe it. Stunned, Kai’s Dragon Slashing Sword halted instantly!
