Chapter 5782
They both knew that their previous attack had nearly exhausted most of their immortal power and used their most trump card.
Now, both were at their limit; whoever revealed a weakness first would face annihilation.
The entire battlefield seemed to slow down due to the brief pause between these two top experts, all eyes focused on them, awaiting the final outcome.
Now!
In the void, Kai’s eyes flashed with a sharp light!
He had been waiting for this perfect moment—when both sides were exhausted, locked in a stalemate, and their vigilance was at its lowest due to fatigue!
He took a step forward, and the distorted spatial fluctuations around him dissipated like ripples on water. His figure in green robes appeared without warning, clearly and distinctly, at the very center of the fierce battlefield.
He appeared between the two exhausted sect leaders, in the brief vacuum created by the energy collision!
“Who is it?!”
Hun Sha and Ling Yunzi were simultaneously startled, abruptly looking up.
Even with their divine sense, they hadn’t detected any aura before!
When their gazes fell upon Kai, and they sensed the fluctuations of only a seventh-grade Human Immortal, both men wore expressions of disbelief and utter astonishment.
A… seventh-grade Human Immortal junior?
How did he break through the energy turbulence on the outer edge of the battlefield and appear here silently?
Who is he?
The disciples of the two sects fiercely fighting below were also drawn to this sudden turn of events.
Countless gazes, filled with surprise and bewilderment, were cast upon the young man in blue robes who hovered in mid-air, seemingly out of place with his surroundings.
Kai’s gaze first calmly swept over the pale-faced, weak-looking Ling Yunzi, giving him a slight nod as a greeting.
His eyes held neither flattery nor hostility, a calmness that sent chills down one’s spine.
Then, his gaze completely locked onto Hun Sha, whose face was grim, filled with surprise and uncertainty, and whose eyes held a hint of anger as if he were being watched by an ant.
A faint, yet unmistakably mocking smile curved his lips. His voice, though soft, seemed to possess a strange, magical power.
The words echoed clearly throughout the suddenly silent battlefield, reaching the ears of every cultivator:
“The Myriad Souls Demon Sect, Soul Fiend? I heard… you’re looking for me?”
This seemingly casual remark exploded in Soul Fiend’s mind like a thunderclap!
He was initially stunned, his brain seemingly sluggish from overexertion.
But then, a name, a name he hated to the core, a name he gritted his teeth for, instantly overlapped with the blurry figure he had seen through a secret technique in his memory!
“You… you…”
Soul Fiend’s eyes widened abruptly, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints, filled with utter shock, absurdity, and a raging inferno of fury!
“You’re Kai? That little beast who plundered my Black Flame Valley, destroyed my Yin Soul Herb Garden, and repeatedly opposed my Demon Sect?!”
Immense anger and humiliation instantly overwhelmed Soul Fiend’s fragile reason, weakened by exhaustion.
He never expected that this person, who had caused such chaos within his Myriad Souls Demon Sect, would force him to suspend his attack on the Myriad Beasts Sect.
The very culprit who indirectly caused this brutal battle dared to appear before him in this way at this moment!
Moreover, the opponent’s cultivation level… was merely a mere seventh-grade Human Immortal?!
This was the greatest humiliation for him and for the Myriad Souls Demon Sect!
“It is indeed I,”
Kai readily admitted, his tone tinged with mockery, as if discussing a trivial matter unrelated to himself. “It seems the Soul Fiend Sect Master has a good memory and hasn’t lost his mind from anger. However…”
He changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the battlefield strewn with corpses below, and the disheveled Soul Fiend and Ling Yunzi, his tone becoming even more sarcastic.
“You brought the entire Demonic Sect with you, instead of visiting the Myriad Beasts Sect, why are you fighting so fiercely and evenly with Sect Master Ling here?”
“Could it be that you think the Myriad Beasts Sect is too small to accommodate someone as great as you, or do you think… sparring with the Profound Heaven Sword Sect is more interesting than seeking revenge against me?”
The sarcasm and provocation in these words were like the sharpest needles, piercing deeply into Hun Sha’s heart!
