Martial Peak - Rise Of The Human Emperor-Chapter 62-Long Hui died!

Those were the words that broke the camel's back.

Yang Kai's rage erupted—pure, blazing fury. The taunt, the filth dripping from Long Hui's mouth, the lust directed at her... it all snapped something inside him.

He rushed forward without regard for injury or consequence, his attack carrying the weight of his wrath. The strike was so overbearing, so brutal, it sent chills down one's spine. Not only did it pierce through Long Hui's Ordinary Grade Lower-tier defensive artifact, but it tore into his body as well. If not for the thin layer of World Qi protecting him, the attack would have gone straight through his core.

With a miserable scream, Long Hui staggered back, his face draining of all color. Blood foamed at his lips as he clutched his chest, gasping for breath.

"It can't be... it can't be. This is impossible!"

"There's no such thing as impossible!" Yang Kai's voice was cold and resolute as he advanced, his steps steady and swift.

Terrified, Long Hui turned and fled, sprinting in the direction of Wen Fei Chen. "Hallmaster Wen, save me!"

The proud and arrogant young master now resembled nothing more than a frightened stray dog. His previous calm and confidence had evaporated without a trace.

But before he could regain balance, a sharp pain exploded from his back. Long Hui fell forward, face planting into the ground.

As he struggled to rise, a heavy foot slammed down onto the back of his neck—unyielding, like a mountain. No matter how much he flailed, Long Hui couldn't turn himself over.

"I am the grandson of the Blood Group's Long Zai Tian! Spare me, and I'll give you money, women, anything you want! If you kill me, you gain nothing. Worse, my Long family will hunt you down!"

Even while groveling, Long Hui's gaze held a venomous glint, his words laced with both fear and threat.

"Young Master Long," Yang Kai said coldly, "your mouth is too dirty."

"Yes, yes! Brother Kai is right! If you don't like it, I won't speak again!" Cornered on the edge of death, how could Long Hui dare raise his head?

"Then stay silent forever."

Yang Kai stomped down hard, smashing Long Hui's face into the earth. With a clenched fist, he brought it down and twisted—"Ka-cha!"

Long Hui's neck snapped cleanly. His eyes bulged in shock and disbelief, frozen in death.

Yang Kai grabbed the corpse with one hand and strode quickly toward the other battlefield.

Soon, the figures of Wen Fei Chen and Xia Ning Chang entered his view.

The two were locked in combat, equally matched. Neither had the upper hand.

One had his cultivation temporarily sealed. The other, Xia Ning Chang, was still recovering her World Qi and unable to unleash her full power. As a result, her attacks were weakened.

Even so, the clash between them was unlike anything Yang Kai had ever witnessed. Their movements blurred in and out of sight as World Qi erupted violently between strikes. The battle was fierce and dangerous.

Yang Kai paused, observing. He knew that one-on-one, he wouldn't stand a chance. But with Xia Ning Chang by his side, it would be different. Two against one—even a powerful enemy could fall.

Actually, in this world, cultivation differences matter.

One hundred ants cannot kill an elephant—no matter how weak it is.

Looking around, Yang Kai understood what he had to do.

Drawing closer to Wen Fei Chen, he hoisted Long Hui's body high and shouted, "Hallmaster Wen, come take a look! Do you recognize who this is?"

Wen Fei Chen had sensed Yang Kai's presence earlier but hadn't dared to split his focus. Now, hearing the shout, he turned his head—and froze.

"Young Master Long!"

Long Hui's corpse was a gruesome sight. Blood poured from a gaping hole in his chest. His neck hung limp, shattered beyond repair. His lifeless face was a mask of horror.

He was dead. Truly dead.

Wen Fei Chen couldn't believe his eyes.

That pampered young master—wasn't he at the Qi Transforming First Stage? Hadn't he cultivated powerful martial skills that even Wen Fei Chen coveted? His strength wasn't lacking.

It was because of that strength that Wen Fei Chen had allowed him to fight Yang Kai, believing there would be no danger.

But now—he was gone.

Dead.

Damn it! Damn it all! Wen Fei Chen cursed inwardly. The deaths of the other Blood Group disciples were one thing—but not Long Hui!

If Long Hui died, Long Zai Tian would erupt with fury. That Immortal Ascension Boundary expert's wrath would shake the heavens. If blame fell on him, Wen Fei Chen knew he wouldn't survive the consequences.

-------------------------------------

In a battle between experts, victory is usually decided within an instant.

Long Hui's death clearly caused a ripple within Wen Fei Chen's heart, creating an opening for Xia Ning Chang.

Yang Kai noticed it too. "Now!" he thought.

How could Xia Ning Chang miss this opportunity? Her eyes glinting, hands flashing, her killing strike was launched.

Feeling a bad premonition, Wen Fei Chen hurriedly put up some defences. Unfortunately he didn't react in time, so he suffered some injuries to his chest.

Before Wen Fei Chen could even send out his own counter attack against Xia Ning Chang, Yang Kai had made his move. Carrying Long Hui's corpse in front of him, he executed a sneak attack from under Long Hui's armpit with a blazing fist.

"No time for honor. If you're going to survive, you use everything." He shoved Long Hui's broken body ahead. "Let him protect you for once."

In a timely manner, Xia Ning Chang further pressured Wen Fei Chen.

Stuck in a pincer formation, Wen Fei Chen's posture was very flustered and messy. He was in a very sticky situation.

With his current power, he had no way to deal with Xia Ning Chang, but dealing with Yang Kai was a different matter. Unfortunately, he had despicably used Long Hui's corpse as a shield. No matter how many hundreds of methods Wen Fei Chen possessed, he could not use a single one because of this.

In order to injure Yang Kai, he must first destroy Long Hui's corpse, which he definitely wasn't willing to do!

"You shameless child!" Wen Fei Chen roared out in extreme rage. While deterring the two's attacks, he also continuously raged: "The dead should be respected! By treating young master Long's corpse this way, aren't you afraid you will suffer the wrath of the heavens?"

Yang Kai merely scoffed: "The one who should suffer Heaven's wrath should be you! If you guys didn't force it this far, would things have escalated to such a degree?"

His rebuttal left Wen Fei Chen speechless. What he said was right. The only reason why these people had come to this mountain valley was to search for some heavenly treasures, provoking no one. While his group had chased them from far away to kill them, a true act of the strong bullying the weak. What right did he have to criticize them?

In the midst of the confusion, Yang Kai took the opportunity to finally land a blow. While Wen Fei Chen busied himself defending against Xia Ning Chang, Yang Kai managed to land a hit on his waist.

The Yang Liquid activating, an entire ten drops were used at once, plunging straight out.

Wen Fei Chen let out a groan, hastily retreating. Great shock and alarm could be seen on his face, as he stared at Yang Kai.

He had discovered that this youngster's attacks were far more vicious than that female's, and by many folds too! Boiling hot Yang Qi immediately surged into his body, while a bloody hole had appeared on his body. Although the wound was not too serious, it still wasn't shallow.

"Even with my full strength, I couldn't pierce deeper..." Yang Kai frowned. "The gap between realms is terrifying."

Ten drops of Yang Liquid had been used, yet it still hadn't been sufficient to pierce through him!

The True Qi within the body of a true element boundary master, truly possessed better defensive capabilities than World Qi.

"Careful junior brother!" Xia Ning Chang suddenly cried out.

At the same instance, Yang Kai saw that a wild killing intent had appeared within Wen Fei Chen's eyes as he threw himself over.

Yang Kai felt his skin crawl. "Here it comes," he thought. "Now or never.

Slowly, the corners of Yang Kai's mouth upturned in an extremely sinister smile.

He knew that once he used the Yang Liquid, Wen Fei Chen would then go all out to target him; even if his cultivation was below Xia Ning Chang's, the power he could use was many folds stronger than her.

If he was Wen Fei Chen, he would do the same thing.

"The bait is set. Now bite."

Everything was within his calculations!

Facing Wen Fei Chen's attack, Yang Kai did not retreat. Instead, he quickly closed the distance.

"Don't!" Xia Ning CHang cried out. But both were advancing towards each other at high speeds, so it was completely out of her hands.

"Stinking brat!" Wen Fei Chen's tone was severe, not bothering to conceal his intentions. Raising his hand, he directly slapped towards Yang Kai.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai immediately tensed all of his muscles, revolving his World Qi to its limit. His bones creaked, a rapid rising in his energy levels turned his skin a crazy red colour.

"Hong!" Wen Fei Chen's palm had landed directly on the corpse of Long Hui.

Like a watermelon, it burst, turning Long Hui into mincemeat. This revealed Yang Kai who was previously hiding behind it.

Following straight after, another palm was sent out targeting the defenceless Yang Kai!

Currently displayed on the faces of both men were extremely profound smiles.

Under the horrified gaze of Xia Ning Chang, a simple strike landed on Yang Kai's chest.

It was quite obvious that Yang Kai's chest had caved in, evidenced by the sound of bones cracking. Yang Kai spurted out a mouthful of blood, which rapidly turned into a bloody mist that landed on the nearby Wen Fei Chen.

His mind blanked momentarily, pain beyond pain. He laughed bitterly in his head. "I'm not dead. Not yet."

How could Wen Fei Chen tolerate a mouthful of blood on his face? His figure flickering, he immediately evaded.

But before he could retract his hand from Yang Kai's chest, he saw that despite the pain evident on Yang Kai's face he was giving him a sneering smile.

Pa....it rang out. His hands clutching tightly onto Wen Fei Chen's wrist, he breathed in coarsely with his bloodshot eyes boring into him: "You're doomed!"

Wen Fei Chen's face changed greatly! He never would have guessed that this brat's vitality would be this strong. Or that his World Qi's defensive capabilities would be this high. Although his strike had caused Yang Kai to receive grave injuries, it hadn't been able to kill him.

But even so, if an average person was able to endure his strike, they wouldn't be able to rebel, so how was Yang Kai still able to use so much power? He actually grabbed onto him and didn't let go? How much strength did he need to have in order for this to happen?

"Release me!" Raising his hand, Wen Fei Chen prepared to hit Yang Kai.

How could Xia Ning Chang give him this opportunity? In her anger, her beautiful hair billowed around her as she gathered all the Yin Qi within a ten foot radius. Suddenly a glistening ice cone appeared in front of her before charging straight towards Wen Fei Chen.

Before Wen Fei Chen's hand could fall, it was run through by the ice cone, which made him howl out in pain as blood began flowing out.

"Roar!!!!" Suddenly Yang Kai let out an extremely loud and animalistic howl as a berserk-like World Qi energy erupted from his body, becoming more and more violent.

It felt like his soul cracked open. Something deeper stirred.

The always steady peak initial element stage Qi fluctuations, had suddenly, under the constant pressure and berserk energy, allowed him to breakthrough to the next stage.

Qi transforming stage!

This wasn't truly the qi transforming stage. It was only the Qi fluctuations of the qi transforming stage.

But the current Yang Kai, in terms of strength, wasn't comparable to others!

Sensing Yang Kai's change, Wen Fei Chen was like a block of ice. Exerting all of his strength, he attempted to retract his hand but was ultimately unable to do so. While his other arm had a fresh hole courtesy of Xia Ning Chang. With these factors and the pain, it caused him to feel more and more unstable.

"Ka cha". It was precisely from this boost in power that Yang Kai managed to snap Wen Fei Chen's wrist.

Ten strands to the heart, how could one possibly stand that type of pain? In any case, Wen Fei Chen could not bear the pain any longer and the sound of his screams echoed throughout the valley.

Another "ka cha" sounded out. Wen Fei Chen's screams became even more tragic.

Yang Kai sadistically smiled, as he broke five of his fingers before pulling him down to kneeling position to break his arm.

During this time, Xia Ning Chang didn't waste any time. Deeply concerned about Yang Kai's wounds, she mercilessly attacked Wen Fei Chen's body.
