Martial Peak

ed even without any wind, and he looked just like a majestic Slaughtering God.

 

The girl’s mouth was now as round as a circle, utterly shocked as she gazed towards Yang Kai.
She had never thought that this young man she had tried to drag into the muddy water with her would be so tyrannical!

 

He didn’t look much older than her, so how could he be so powerful?

 

As she watched, a deep sense of terror flickered across her big round eyes.
 Compared to this group of thugs who had been chasing her for these past few days, Yang Kai was far more frightening, like a blood-stained executioner.

 

He killed people as simply and easily as killing ants, and even his casual expression, from beginning to end, never changed in the slightest.
His eyes didn’t even blink once.

 

Human lives were like dust to him, something he could casually brush aside.

 

With the girl being so frightened, how could the burly man restraining her not be?

 

Although he was a True Element Boundary Fourth Stage cultivator, at the moment his blood ran cold and his Soul had been petrified.
 He was very clear on his own henchmen’s strength.
He could easily deal with any of them one on one, but it would be impossible for him to casually slaughter them all like this youth had just done.

 

“This friend, everything that happened here was just a misunderstanding!”  This burly thug leader’s forehead dripped with cold sweat as he fearfully watched Yang Kai approach, letting out a stiff laugh, “There’s no previous grudges between us, so how about we end things here?”

 

Yang Kai simply remained indifferent, not saying a word.

 

“It’s true that I had eyes but did not see and was the first to wrong you, but you’ve already killed so many of us, is there really a need to be so ruthless?”  The burly man pleaded again and again, never once moving his sword from the girl’s neck.

 

Seeing Yang Kai still unmoved, the burly leader knew that that negotiation was impossible so instead he resolved to be ruthless.
His expression turned grim as he grit his teeth, “If you come any closer, I’ll run my sword through her neck!”

 

“Go ahead and kill her!  You’ll follow right after!”  Yang Kai’s pace didn’t slow in the slightest.

 

The burly leader was soaked in sweat.
As the young man stepped closer, he felt like a giant mountain was slowly pressing down on him, stifling his breath.
 Pushing his True Qi nervously, the hand gripping his sword trembled slightly, which caused the girl to cry out involuntarily as she felt the cold blade slightly pierce into her neck and a warm wisp of liquid slowly drip from the wound.

 

“You think I won’t kill her?”  The burly leader tried to threaten.

 

However, before he had finished speaking, Yang Kai eyes squinted and an invisible force burst forth from his mind straight into the burly leader’s Soul.

 

This was the power of his Divine Sense!

 

One’s Divine Sense was not only used to perceive the surrounding situation, but could also be used as a means of attack.
 Yang Kai had never attempted this before, but he took this slightly risky opportunity to give it a try.

 

As Yang Kai’s Divine Sense lashed out, the burly leader was momentarily stunned, and by the time he recovered all he could see was the youth opposite him rapidly approaching him and stretching out a big hand to seize his sword.

 

The burly leader let out a roar and rapidly pushed his True Qi, and ruthlessly tried to cut through the girl’s neck, determined to drag her down with him.

 

Yang Kai eyes flashed quickly as he launched a palm strike towards the burly man’s face while sweeping his foot towards the young girl, forcing her away from the path of the blade.

 

As the blade light flashed, the girl fell to the side with a few less strands of hair while the burly leader hurriedly dodged backwards, avoided Yang Kai’s palm and simultaneously dragged his sword out of his grip, leaving behind a long sound on Yang Kai’s other palm.

 

Yang Kai face remained serious and calm.
Taking advantage of this opening, he clenched his bloody fist and sent a punch into the burly man’s chest.

 

[Burning Sun’s Three Layer Blast!]

 

The thug leader was still a True Element Fourth Stage cultivator, so even though he had taken Yang Kai hit unprepared, he didn’t instantly lose all ability to resist.
His sword slashed out, as he desperately tried to kill the enemy before him.

 

As the two fought, the Burning Sun’s Three Layer Blast’s True Qi exploded inside his body with three loud thuds, which caused the burly leader’s face to suddenly become pale.

 

Old Demon did not miss this opportunity and immediately rushed in to assist Yang Kai.

 

After a dozen or so exchanges, the burly leader’s chest was smashed in by Yang Kai.

 

The light gradually faded from his eyes, and the burly leader’s face filled with bitterness as he muttered, “Monster…”

 

Old Demon laughed and sunk his Soul Breaker Awl into the man’s body, and then devoured his Soul.
Then he immediately turned into black gas after and darted into Yang Kai’s body.

 

“Young Master, did you feel that?” Old Demon whispered.

 

“Yeah…”  Yang Kai nodded as he used his True Qi to clean the blood from himself, “The Yuan Qi of these guys was very violent, like it was cultivated by some kind of evil Secret Art, or they had fallen onto the Devil’s Path.”

 

Cultivators at the Separation and Reunion Boundary would have two paths appear before them in their minds, so this state was named Separation and Reunion.

 

If they drowned themselves in the thrill seeking power, unable to suppress their raging emotions and desires, this was the so-called Devil’s Path!  These people were generally more brutal, bloodthirsty, and violent.

 

There are many cultivators like this.
The higher their strength, the more prominent their performance, and ultimately these people would step onto a different cultivation path than others.
The people Yang Kai had just killed were an example of this case.

 

Compared with the orthodox cultivation path,  no one could really make clear which method was better, but overall, the Devil’s Path was still normally frowned upon.

 

In this world, the largest gathering place for these Devil Path practitioners was the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land!

 

Within its range of thousands of kilometers, several Devil Lords gathered and everywhere you went there were Devil Path cultivators.

 

Originally, the High Heaven Pavilion Great Elder had given a promotion order to Yang Kai, which instructed him to go to the Ash-Gray Cloud Evil Land and behead a Devil Path cultivator whose cultivation realm was no lower than his own, but that was ultimately rejected by Yang Kai.

 

However, the question was… how did this young girl wind up provoking these people?
