Some things, you shouldn’t comprehend lightly.
Cai Kun floated before them, looking down at Xiang Beifei and his group, and suddenly frowned.
Because he realized Tang Yingxin was missing!
Then he turned to the battlefield where Tang Yingxin’s aura lingered, as Tang Yingxin had died too quickly for him to notice, not even knowing who had killed him.
"You actually killed Tang Yingxin?"
Cai Kun’s gaze lingered between Xiang Beifei, whose body was still covered with crane feathers, and He Yunfang, who looked completely human, finally landing on He Yunfang.
"You, this guy, actually hid your hand."
Cai Kun assumed He Yunfang had killed Tang Yingxin, considering He Yunfang was He Qing’s father, with formidable strength and experience.
"That loser Tang Yingxin, I never counted on him! His death saves me the trouble of killing him."
Tang Yingxin had lost to He Qing days ago and was severely injured, without fully recovering. It was likely that He Yunfang seized the opportunity, and his death was of no great consequence.
When Cai Kun saw He Qing wield the Divine Phoenix Bone, he understood why Tang Yingxin wanted He Qing to be captured alive as a condition to reveal the second Dao Stone buyer. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
Tang Yingxin simply wanted the Divine Phoenix Bone.
The Divine Phoenix Bone was indeed powerful; He Qing had blocked him for a while with it, though she was still outmatched. He desired more and more to possess this treasure.
Thus, after killing He Qing, he wouldn’t hand over the Divine Phoenix Bone to Tang Yingxin. If Tang Yingxin had any objections, he would kill him outright. Here, there was no faith or honor to speak of.
"So, how do you intend to die?"
Cai Kun’s expression was full of mockery, seeing that He Qing was already at her wit’s end. The Divine Phoenix Bone’s power was beyond her capability, and even if He Yunfang could kill Tang Yingxin, it didn’t prove anything at all.
"Hand over the Dao Stone and Divine Phoenix Bone now, and I’ll allow you to die swiftly!" he said with a sinister smile.
He Qing clenched the Divine Phoenix Bone in her hand.
Handing it over or not still meant death, so now, she’d fight with all her might!
"You two, protect yourselves well!"
She shouted lowly, preparing to charge out again.
But Xiang Beifei extended a hand to hold her back.
Xiang Beifei said with a grin.
"What are you doing? You’re not his match!" He Qing spoke urgently.
"Young Master Xiang, don’t be reckless! He’s very strong, even stronger than Tang Yingxin, reputed invincible at the middle stage of eternal life!"
Though He Yunfang knew Xiang Beifei had just slain Tang Yingxin, he knew Cai Kun’s prowess at the same middle stage of eternal life was far more terrifying, an entirely different caliber!
"Invincible at the middle stage of eternal life?"
Xiang Beifei stepped forward, rising gracefully into the air, standing in front of Cai Kun, looking at this man with conspicuously painted red shadows beneath his eyes.
"An ant trying to topple a tree, utterly unaware of its reckoning!"
Cai Kun sneered contemptuously, suddenly waved a hand, and a terrifying aura bombarded Xiang Beifei! The imposing Kun silhouette descended as if the sky was falling.
He Yunfang and his daughter’s hearts were tight with tension; this aura was so overwhelmingly terrifying, inducing despair in them!
But just then, the sky suddenly darkened!
All perception seemed to be shielded, without any premonition, everything happened too suddenly, catching everyone off guard!
Cai Kun’s heart jolted; a surge of danger suddenly welled inside him, prompting him to use his Heavenly Dao to protect himself. Yet, he was startled to find his Kun Dao’s manifestation trembled abruptly, as if suppressed by something, unable to move!
The sky darkened quickly, and brightened just as fast.
When He Yunfang and He Qing could finally see clearly what was before them, they were thunderstruck!
Cai Kun’s head had been somehow twisted off by Xiang Beifei, held in his hand.
"I told you, just a little dried fish."
Xiang Beifei said indifferently.
