Chapter 5804
“Stop!”
Shi Yan barely managed to lift his head, roaring angrily, only to be kicked hard in the chest by a nearby beast warrior, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood.
“Heh, you piece of trash, you’re pretty tough, huh? I’ll deal with this little wench first, then slowly torment you!”
The goat-horned leader leered, his hand almost touching Ying Wu’s shoulder.
Just at this critical moment—
“Boom!”
The rudimentary barrier at the cave entrance shattered like paper!
A chilling, violent, terrifying killing intent, like a prehistoric beast awakening, swept through the entire cave like a tangible tide!
The laughter of all the beast warriors abruptly ceased, like ducks being choked.
They turned in horror, only to see a figure in a green robe standing at the cave entrance.
The person stood there, seemingly calm, but his eyes were like ancient ice, or a volcano about to erupt, containing a furious intent to destroy everything.
A mere glance was enough to plunge these normally ferocious beast warriors into an ice cave, their blood seemingly freezing.
“You…who are you?!”
The goat-horned leader, jolted awake by the murderous intent, shouted, his voice trembling despite his bluster.
Kai didn’t answer.
His gaze fell on Shi Yan and Ying Wu, seeing their miserable state, especially the sudden glimmer of hope in Ying Wu’s eyes, like seeing a savior, followed by a flood of tears of grievance. His anger reached its peak.
“You…all deserve to die.”
Five simple words, yet like a death sentence.
The next instant, Kai moved.
No earth-shattering display, no flashy moves.
He simply raised his right hand, fingers spread, and gently clenched it around everyone in the cave except Shi Yan and Ying Wu.
“Buzz—!”
The air in the cave seemed to vanish instantly, time itself frozen for a moment.
Then, under the horrified, speechless gazes of all the Beast Fusion Warriors,
their bodies, along with their weapons, the wine jars beside them, and even the soul lamps, were as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, and then—
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!…”
A series of muffled explosions rang out!
The seven Beast Fusion Warriors, including the goat-horned leader who was at the fourth rank of the Celestial Immortal Realm, didn’t even have time to scream before their bodies exploded on the spot!
They turned into a cloud of blood mist and fragments of flesh and bone, splattering all over the cave walls!
A thick stench of blood instantly filled the air.
In the entire cave, apart from Shi Yan and Ying Wu, who were tied to the stone pillars, there was no other living creature.
Kai withdrew his hand, as if he were merely dusting off some dust. He strode to the stone pillar, and with a flick of his finger, the specially made animal sinew ropes binding the two snapped.
Shadow Dance lost her support and slumped downwards, but Kai caught her just in time.
Leaning against Kai’s chest, she felt his strong, reliable arms and the familiar, faint scent of his body.
The fear, grievances, and despair of the past few days finally erupted. She clutched Kai’s clothes tightly, buried her face in his chest, and burst into tears, her delicate body trembling uncontrollably.
“Senior…Senior…you really came…I knew…you would come…”
she sobbed, her words incoherent.
Kai sighed inwardly, gently patting her back and channeling a wisp of gentle, chaotic immortal energy to calm her and alleviate her injuries.
Then he looked at Stone Rock, who was struggling to his feet.
Although Shi Yan was severely injured, his eyes burned with rage and lingering fear. He knelt on one knee, his voice hoarse, “Senior! Shi Yan is incompetent. I failed to protect Ying Wu and even caused you to risk your life…”
“Get up. This is not the time to talk about this.”
Kai helped him up, channeling his immortal power to heal his injuries and giving him a pill. “How did you end up in their hands?”
Shi Yan took the pill and felt a warm current spread through him, easing his injuries considerably. He then quickly recounted what had happened.
It turned out that after they split up, Shi Yan’s group had made the most progress, sneaking to the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect’s ruins.
They captured a lone Fusion Beast Warrior, extracting some information about the sect’s inner workings. Just as they were about to leave, they unexpectedly encountered Ying Wu’s group
. Ying Wu and her group seemed to have been exposed and were being pursued by a group of Fusion Beast Warriors.
Shi Yan immediately decided to provide backup, and the two groups joined forces, fighting and retreating simultaneously.
Although they killed many pursuers, the enemy’s numbers continued to grow, even attracting experts from the Demonic Sect.
During the fierce battle, the group was scattered. Shi Yan and Ying Wu, to cover the retreat of the other disciples, deliberately drew away most of the pursuers, ultimately being ambushed near the mountain stream and captured after exhaustion.
The fate of the other disciples was unknown.
“Those bastards… after capturing us, they humiliated us in every way, and even tried to…” Shi Yan gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
“I understand,”
Kai interrupted him, his voice icy. “I will avenge you a hundredfold. But now, we must leave immediately.”
“Although I tried my best to control the commotion, it might have attracted the attention of other enemies nearby,”
Shi Yan and Ying Wu nodded hurriedly.
Kai helped Ying Wu put on one of his spare robes to cover her torn clothes.
Then, supporting one of them with each hand, he flashed out of the cave, disappearing back into the shadows of the forest, speeding southwest.
About half an incense stick’s time after they left, several powerful auras descended upon the cave. Upon seeing the horrific scene inside, they all gasped in shock, followed by angry roars and piercing alarms…
But by this time, Kai, along with Shi Yan and Ying Wu, were already dozens of miles away.
Following the route and method provided by Ling Shuang, he sped towards the entrance to the mysterious Li Huo Secret Realm.
