Yang Kai had been waiting for this very moment, so how could he let the Wood Spirit escape now?
With the help of his Space Secret Technique, he appeared right in front of the Wood Spirit and stared at it with a cold look in his eyes. Then, he spread his hands and brought them together, creating an enormous Moon Blade.
Just when Yang Kai was about to release the Moon Blade to give the Wood Spirit the final blow, the Wood Spirit let out a scream, and right then, Yang Kai felt a sudden burst of sharp pain from his arm, causing his wrist to momentarily shake and disrupt the Moon Blades launch.
Immediately after, loud slicing noise rang. Even though the huge Moon Blade was formed using Space Force and wasnt exactly a counter to the Wood Spirit, its might could not be taken lightly. Yang Kais aim might have been disrupted at the last moment, causing him to miss the Wood Spirits vitals, but the Moon Blade still left a huge gaping cut on its body.
The cut was clean and some green blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain.
It was then that Liu Yan swooped in, transformed into a giant ball of flame, and engulfed the entire Wood Spirit.
The nearby Moon Inspect Queen brought its dual swords together and made a slashing motion that created a giant Sword Wave that cut straight into Liu Yan and the Wood Spirit.
The Wood Spirit immediately let out a sharp and piercing scream.
Yang Kai, on the other hand, backed off several dozen metres as he hurriedly tore off his clothes and stared at his right arm, calling out in shock in the next moment, Wood Spirit Seed!
At this moment, there was a light green rice grain-sized thing embedded in the skin of his right arm and Yang Kai could feel his vitality uncontrollably flowing towards it.
As more and more of Yang Kais vitality flowed into it, this little seed actually showing signs of breaking out of its shell.
Yang Kai immediately understood what it was. Obviously, this Wood Spirit Seed had penetrated his flesh along with that faint green beam of light from before.
No wonder even the six Emperors were unable to completely eradicate the Wood Spirit, it was actually able to conceal one of its seeds this well. Yang Kai couldnt even find it after carefully inspecting his body twice. If it wasnt for the Wood Spirit trying to interfere with his attack just now to save itself and escape, perhaps this Wood Spirit Seed would not have activated.
And it was exactly because of the activation of this Wood Spirit Speed that Yang Kais Moon Blade lost its accuracy.
As for what happened to the cultivators parasitized by the Wood Spirit Seeds in Maplewood City, Yang Kai couldnt be any clearer. All this thing needed was a short time to devour a cultivators vitality and essence before it took over that cultivators body and turned them into a Wood Spirit Clone without any will of its own.
Naturally, Yang Kai didnt want to follow in those peoples footsteps.
Seeing the Wood Spirit Seed devouring more and more of his vitality, Yang Kai grit his teeth and formed a minute Space Blade on his fingers before slicing into the flesh around where the Wood Spirit Seed was embedded and tearing it out, trying to stifle his pained groan in the process.
Blood streamed down his arm.
Having been separated from his body, the small piece of flesh that Yang Kai had just torn out was devoured by the Wood Spirit Seed in a very short time. The next moment, the Wood Spirit Seed also turned into a small seedling that shot out some thin vines that tried to invade Yang Kai again.
Yang Kai let out a cold snort and immediately summoned his Sealed World Bead before slipping inside it.
Inside the Small Sealed World, Yang Kai held the Wood Spirits Seedling as he released flames from his palm, completely wrapping it up.
Accompanied by a sharp and piercing screech, the incomplete Wood Spirit Clone was burnt to ashes.
After doing all this, Yang Kai took out a healing pill from his Space Ring and swallowed it before sitting down cross-legged and beginning another careful examination of his body, using the Small Sealed Worlds Principles to dramatically boost his senses.
He was truly wary of these Wood Spirit Seeds.
He was unable to find any hidden Wood Spirit Seeds with his Divine Sense earlier, but things were completely different inside the Sealed World Bead. Here, he could use the World Principles to perform a much more intensive examination than his Diving Sense could perform alone.
After checking a few times, Yang Kai was finally sure that there werent any more and he finally relaxed.
After this brief period, the wound on Yang Kais arm had almost recovered. His Golden Blood had extraordinary restorative properties and coupled with his powerful physique, this kind of minor injury was nothing to him.
After heaving a sigh of relief, Yang Kai stood up and left the Sealed World Bead.
After returning back to the plains again, Yang Kai looked around and found the surroundings at peace, lacking any sounds of fighting.
Not too far away, Liu Yan, who had already taken her human form, gently jumped to Yang Kais side as a smile finally appeared beautiful face that was usually as cold as ice. Standing next to him, she happily shouted, Master!
Yang Kai nodded and asked, glancing at the ashes on the ground, Is it dead?
Liu Yan nodded, Yes!
While speaking, she turned her eyes towards the Monster Insect Queen and calmly said, Master, your new helper is pretty good, shes even fiercer than me.
Yang Kai glanced at her and seemed to notice something in her gaze, causing a smile to appear on his lips as he said, Although its quite good, its room for growth is very limited. In the future, it will reach the Third-Order Dao Source Realm at best, but you are different. You have gained sentience and you can actively strengthen yourself, so you will definitely be stronger in the future.
Yes, Master, Liu Yan responded, lowering her head, but she couldnt hide the corners of her lips rising into a small arc.
Yang Kai beckoned to the Monster Insect Queen, which swiftly flew over to him. Yang Kai then had it return to his Sealed World Bead.
Glancing around, Yang Kai saw that this stretch of wilderness had become a wasteland. In just half a day, two Second-Order Dao Source Realm masters and dozens of Origin Kings had lost their lives here, causing Yang Kai to sigh slightly.
Check if there are any Space Rings remaining, after giving the order, Yang Kai started searching with Liu Yan.
Not long after, eight Space Rings lay in Yang Kais hands. These Space Rings belonged to Flying Saint Palaces disciples, and Yang Kai didnt pay much attention to them as he knew there wouldnt be much of value in them.
Yang Kai had already collected Ning Yuan Cheng and Han Lengs Space Rings, but as for Liu Yi Zhis, it was likely destroyed in the previous fight so there was no point searching for it, causing Yang Kai some slight disappointment.
After all, the Space Ring of a Second-Order Dao Source Realm master should have a lot of treasures in it.
Master, what do you think we should do with this? Liu Yan asked, looking at the ship on the ground with a curious look in her beautiful eyes.
After being separated from Yang Kai in the Starlight Channel, she didnt have the time to appreciate various wonders of the Star Boundary. She knew very little about this ship, only that it was a kind of flight-type artifact.
Of course, were going to keep it, Yang Kai grinned, walking up to the ship and circling it a few times as a satisfied look appeared on his face.
Yang Kai had personally learned how fast this thing could fly as he had been unable to catch up to it despite his best efforts just a day ago. In the subsequent battle, the defensive shield of the ship had even withstood the attacks of the Heavenly Lunar Cycle Grand Array for a time, obviously indicating that its defensive strength was also quite good.
This was absolutely a Dao Source Grade flight-type artifact!
Yang Kai currently lacked a flight-type artifact for travelling, so how could he let go of such a treasure after encountering it? It might belong to Flying Saint Palace, and if anyone saw Yang Kai using it, they might
