Chapter 1044
by Moonlit_Scholar_CIn the ancient ruins, Yang Kai stood not far from Xue Yue, silently staring at her, with a complicated mood.
He and this woman should have been enemies, sworn to the death, but because of the effect of the soul chain, their lives are linked. Now that Xue Yue’s life is hanging by a thread, whether Yang Kai wants to or not, he has to find a way to save her.
Only if Xue Yue survives can he survive.
Yang Kai didn’t rush to take action, because at this moment, there were drops of liquid as gems suspended around Xue Yue. Each drop of liquid exuded a terrifying power that made Yang Kai’s heart palpitate. When the spiritual thoughts approached, even the filaments of thoughts could be frozen.
Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water！
Yang Kai immediately understood that these liquids were the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water that Harika had mentioned. He just didn’t expect that this kind of thing was actually so strange.
Yang Kai quietly counted. There were probably about fifty drops of Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water suspended in the air. They were a little spaced apart from each other, but they surrounded Xue Yue tightly.
It was really quite difficult to fish Xue Yue out from the encirclement of these Profound Yin Sunflowers Waters.
Yang Kai waved his hand to raise a strong wind, trying to push these Profound Yin Sunflowers Waters away, but to his surprise, when the strong wind hit, those Profound Yin Sunflowers Waters didn’t move at all.
They seemed as heavy as a thousand jun！
Yang Kai’s expression became solemn, and he increased his strength. Only then did he manage to move the Profound Yin Sunflowers Waters a little distance, allowing Xue Yue to be safely exposed.
Coming to Xue Yue’s, Yang Kai looked at her, feeling a bit at a loss.
He didn’t know how to get this woman out. The scene where that martial artist from the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce went to rescue his companion was still fresh in Yang Kai’s memory. That kind of ice cold spread, and even a Saint King Realm martial artist couldn’t resist it. He was directly frozen into an ice sculpture and then fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Yang Kai didn’t dare to touch Xue Yue’s body casually.
He circulated his strength, and a mass of pitch-black devil flames emerged on his hand, slowly approaching Xue Yue, wanting to know if his devil flames could isolate the transmission of that ice cold.
An extremely contradictory energy fluctuation came from the strange and mysterious devil flames. As it got closer, the burning devil flames seemed to have met their Nemesis, and the firepower weakened and the power instantly became much weaker.
Yang Kai’s expression was solemn as he had to increase the output of his Saint Yuan. The weakened devilish flames rose up again, and Yang Kai imprinted the devilish flames on one of Xue Yue’s snow-white arms.
In an instant, a violent clash of energies erupted. The cold energy on Xue Yue’s body spread over here rapidly, and the burning devilish flames were actually frozen in an instant.
The coldness followed the devilish flames and directly transmitted towards Yang Kai, causing his complexion to change drastically as he frantically urged his Saint Yuan.
The frozen devilish flames emitted a whistling sound and once again became a monstrous conflagration, fighting against the cold that could freeze all things.
Yang Kai’s body trembled. He had almost never experienced such hardship. For the first time, he exerted all his strength to fight against a cold power.
As time passed, the coldness of the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water was sometimes suppressed by the devilish flames and sometimes spread to Yang Kai’s arm. The two actually fought evenly, neck and neck.
Although Yang Kai’s strength was low, this devilish flame was another kind of power mystery born from his fusion of two completely different attribute energies. It was mysterious and unpredictable. As long as Yang Kai’s realm was sufficient, it could burn all things in the world.
It had great growth potential！
But at the moment, the Demon Flame seemed to be somewhat inferior to the Profound Yin Sunflower Water. After only persisting for a short while, Yang Kai’s defeat was like a landslide, and the icy cold artistic conception spread all the way towards his body, making both his body and mind become stiff and sluggish.
Yang Kai quickly immersed his mind and called out in the Demon God Manual, “Help me！”
He had to seek the help of the Divine Tree！
The Divine Tree was a Yang-attribute Divine Tree and also the nemity of ice and cold.
“Alright！” The Divine Tree immediately replied.
The next moment, an incredibly huge amount of Yang-attribute energy suddenly burst out from the Demon God Manual and, together with Yang Kai’s Demon Flame, dispersed the ice and cold on his body.
The cold of the Profound Yin Sunflower Water was quickly suppressed.
Yang Kai’s Demon Flame directly enveloped Xue Yue’s delicate body. At the same time, the Yang-attribute energy burst out from the Divine Tree also wrapped Xue Yue in a layer.
With a two-pronged approach, the frost on Xue Yue’s body quickly melted, her pale complexion gradually turned rosy, her cold body gradually became warm, and a weak heartbeat sound came from her plump chest.
Yang Kai’s expression lit up with joy, and he spared no effort in cooperating with the Divine Tree.
Half an hour later, the frost on Xue Yue’s body disappeared completely. Only at this moment did the colorful glow blooming from her body gradually fade away – she herself also seemed to be at the end of her rope.
Divine sense probed her body, and Yang Kai discovered that her condition was a bit strange.
Although the crisis of the Profound Yin Sunflower Water had been resolved, she still lingered between life and death and remained unconscious.
Yang Kai unceremoniously invaded her Sea of Consciousness, only to find that it was a world of ice and cold here, like a glacial world. The sea water was frozen, and the spiritual body of Xue Yue’s Divine Soul was nowhere to be seen. Only her faint aura existed. No matter how Yang Kai called out, there was no response.
Yang Kai’s brows furrowed tightly. He didn’t know where the problem was and could only temporarily withdraw from her Sea of Consciousness.
“I need to rest for a while and can’t help you for the time being.” The Divine Tree said a word and then there was no more movement. This time, its pay seemed to be very huge, so huge that it had to enter a dormant state.
Not only did the Divine Tree consume a great deal, but Yang Kai’s entire body of Saint Yuan was also consumed a lot. If it weren’t for his special body, which had an inexhaustible supply of Saint Yuan, he simply wouldn’t have been able to dispel the Profound Yin Sunflower Water on Xue Yue’s body.
Crouching down, he picked her up by the waist, reached out and tore open the space, and Yang Kai plunged in headfirst.
He simply didn’t care about those Profound Yin Sunflower Waters suspended in the air. Although they were extremely rare treasures, Yang Kai really didn’t have the mood to collect them, and even less knew how to collect them.
Above the mine cave, after half a day of recovery, Hali Ka’s complexion finally improved a lot.
The few martial artists of the Chamber of Commerce who escaped with him also managed to pick up a life, but all of them had broken arms and legs.
The most miserable one even had both arms broken！
He was a Saint King Realm martial artist, but without hands, from now on he would have no room for progress in martial arts and when he thought of this, his eyes were infinitely gloomy and he could not see a ray of light.
The others in the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce were also gloomy and their brows were tightly furrowed.
An exploration of the ancient ruins had caused this branch to suffer heavy losses, and the third young master’s woman had even died inside. The responsibility was not small. As the person in charge of the branch, Hali Ka’s punishment was inevitable.
“Old Ha, let’s go back first. After we go back, we’ll discuss how to report the matter here to the main star.” Lin Mufeng came up and helped Hali Ka, who was sitting on the ground, up.
Hali Ka responded listlessly, without much spirit.
“What about the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water？” the middle-aged woman asked.
Lin Mufeng thought for a while: “Temporarily block this place. After going back and look up the classics, we’ll bring people to collect it.”
Lin Mufeng also didn’t know how to collect something like the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water.
“That’s the only way！” the middle-aged woman sighed slightly.
Lin Mufeng immediately shouted and arranged. He left two Void Returning Realm powerhouses and more than a dozen Saint King Realm martial artists to block and guard this place. In a short while, everything was deployed well.
Just as the group was about to turn back, the middle-aged woman suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the mine pit, uttering a soft cry of surprise.
The next moment, everyone turned their heads in unison and looked over there in astonishment.
A figure suddenly rushed out from inside, it was the little guard who was only at the Second-Order Saint Realm earlier！
At this moment, he was holding Lord Xue in his arms, his face was gloomy, and he landed lightly from mid-air. There wasn’t a single wound or in a sorry state on his body!
The eyes of Hali Ka, Lin Mufeng and the others widened, and an expression of incredulous appeared on their faces.
When Yang Kai insisted on going down earlier, they all thought that this young man would surely go and never return. After all, his strength was too low. The restrictions in the ruins were enough to cost him his life. Those restrictions were not something that a Saint Realm martial artist could break and avoid.
But the fact was greatly beyond their expectations. Not only did Yang Kai not die, he returned safely, and actually even rescued Lord Xue back.
How did he do it？ The three of them were suddenly shocked.
“How is Lord Xue’s condition?” Hali Ka immediately gathered his mind and asked urgently ly.
“Not dead！” Yang Kai shook his head.
Hearing him say this, all three of them, without exception, felt a shock in their spirits, and a sense of relaxation spontaneously rose in their hearts.
They were extremely worried, and what they feared the most was that the Third Young Master of Xueyue would be furious because of this matter, hold them accountable, and kill them. Now that this woman is not dead, their biggest concern no longer exists.
For a moment, the eyes looking at Yang Kai were filled with gratitude.
This little bodyguard not only saved the woman of the Third Young Master of Xueyue, but also saved the three of them！
“But she is unconscious and I don’t know what’s wrong.” Yang Kai added.
The relieved expressions on the faces of Halika and the other two froze, and they all rushed over. Their spiritual thoughts swept over Xueyue’s body, and their expressions gradually became solemn.
They also perceive that the abnormality of Xueyue, and for a while they don’t know what to do.
“Go back first, go back first！” Lin Mufeng shouted, “No one is allowed to reveal what happened here today. Those who violate the order will be killed！”
After that, he looked at Yang Kai again, considered his words, and said politely for a rare time： “Little brother, can you temporarily not notify the main star about the injury of Lord Xue？ We will find a way to wake her up.”
He was really afraid that Yang Kai would report the matter here to the main star. Once Xueyue learned about the situation here, they would still be hard to escape blame and punishment.
They simply didn’t know that this Lord Xue was Xueyue herself.
If they knew, they would probably want to die.
Yang Kai would not expose the truth either and nodded lightly, saying, “As long as you can save her, I can keep this matter hidden for the time being！”
He also understood what the other party was worried about.
Lin Mufeng’s face lit up with joy and he repeatedly cupped his fists and said, “Little brother is easy to talk to. Thank you, little brother.”
Halika and the middle-aged woman also looked at Yang Kai gratefully, and everything was understood without words.
“Let’s go back. I will call the best alchemists on Rainfall Star to examine Lady Xue.” Lin Mufeng greeted everyone and flew towards the direction of the branch.
