In the hall with the flickering flames, Yang Kais cold and piercing voice chilled the hearts of the Scarlet Star Managers.
Only now did everyone realize what Yang Kai meant by first one. Du Niang Zi was the first to offend Yang Kai, resulting in her being the first to be killed.
If there was the first, then there was a second...
Suddenly, a light clang rang and sparks flew about as Gan Hongs figure mysteriously appeared beside Yang Kai out of thin air, slashing diagonally at him with the curved blade in his hand.
The Power of Earth around Yang Kais body was unable to block this attack completely, allowing Gan Hongs sharp blade to leave a long gash on Yang Kais waist, drawing fresh blood from the cut.
However, Gan Hong, who had finally appeared again, looked stunned, as if he couldnt believe his eyes.
That was because his attack didnt have the intended effect. A forearm length gash might appear terrifying, but his sneak attack should have cut Yang Kai in two.
When his curved blade cut through Yang Kais body, Gan Hong instantly realized that the physique of this young man was unreasonably strong and firm. Yang Kais sturdy body could actually withstand his attack that could even split the Heavens and the Earth.
Horrified, Gan Hongs figure flickered as it disappeared into the darkness once again, immediately retreating.
His concealment technique was unparalleled, so even a Master who was one or two Orders higher than him might be unable to track him.
While he was making a quick retreat, his eyes happened to meet Yang Kais gaze, and the next moment, his heart clenched as he saw a golden vertical pupil suddenly appear in Yang Kais left eye. The sight was extremely daunting. Under the gaze of this golden pupil, Gan Hong couldnt help but feel an invisible pressure bearing down on him.
The next moment, he saw a ghastly smile creep up on Yang Kais lips, who raised his hand and summoned a long spear into his grasp. However, Gan Hong failed to notice Yang Kais next move. All he saw was a spear coming at him as its sharp tip rapidly enlarged in his vision. The murderous intent emanating from the tip of the spear made his Soul shudder.
Gan Hongs face turned pale and he promptly raised his curved blade to parry the oncoming thrust.
With a deafening clap, Gan Hong felt a tremendous force passing through the curved blade as his skinny figure was sent flying. In a flash, he felt like a boat caught in a stormy sea, at risk of capsizing at any moment.
Gan Hong shouted as his concealment technique was disrupted, Save me!
At the same time, a figure hurriedly rushed towards Chen Tian Fei.
Chen Tian Feis facial fat twitched wildly at the sight of this and he secretly cursed Gan Hong for putting him in danger; however, he really couldnt just sit by and not save the latter. Chen Tian Feis figure transformed into a ball of meat as it rolled straight towards Yang Kai, carrying an unstoppable momentum with him.
The Ou Yang Brothers aura became interlinked with each other. One controlled fire, and the other controlled ice, creating an ice-fire attack that flew straight at Yang Kai.
In response, the Scarlet Flood Dragons figure moved to block them.
Lady Qin plucked her guqins strings once again, but the sound attack was blocked by Yue He. The two women were locked in a heated contest.
As for the Earth Dragon, its mouth chomped as it sprayed sticky mucus towards Bei Yu Shan. Bei Yu Shan might have the strength to flip mountains, but facing this exotic beast that was like a slippery loach, he was having a difficult time as he was unable to break the Earth Dragons defense.
The entire hall was in chaos as various kinds of energy were wreaking havoc.
Chen Tian Fei hurriedly shouted, Little Brother Yang, please stop, we can talk about this!
Whatever there is to talk about, we can do it later! Yang Kai pursed his lips into a smile. Looking at the ball of meat rolling towards him with unparalleled force, he thrust his spear straight towards it. The next moment, a black ball appeared on the tip of the spear before shooting ahead as terrifying Space Principle fluctuations undulated.
A deafening explosion rang out as space shattered, forcing Chen Tian Fei back. Every time he stepped back, his plump body shrank visibly. His clothes started to become loose and oversized as his entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he was just pulled out of the ocean.
After finally regaining his footing, Fatty Chen Tian looked like an ordinary-sized man, the only difference being that his face was extremely pale.
When he looked around, his now thin face couldnt help but twitch.
Because he saw that Gan Hong had already been pushed to the wall and was unable to retreat anymore, a panicked look on his face.
Yang Kais eyes shone with brilliance as he thrust out his spear.
Gan Hong shouted in horror. He was an Open Heaven Realm Master, but in the Ancient Ruins Boundary, he couldnt display his full strength. He couldnt be any more vexed.
He mustered up all the strength he could bring out and poured it into the curved blade in his hand before hacking down. Immediately after, a peerless sword aura shot straight at Yang Kai like a torrential river.
However, the Azure Dragon Spear shattered through the curved blade before a light squishing sound rang out. The next moment, it was as if time had frozen.
Chen Tian Feis brow twitched hard as he stared at the scene painted on the wall, feeling as bitter and frustrated as if he had eaten bitter gourd.
The Ou Yang Brothers also stopped moving together while Lady Qin stopped playing her zither. Bei Yu Shan also turned to look.
To everyones surprise, on the tip of Yang Kais spear hung a somewhat scrawny figure. It was none other than Gan Hong.
The Azure Dragon Spear had pierced through Gan Hongs chest and out his back. Yang Kai grabbed the spear with one arm and lifted it up high. His current stance made him look like a figure from legend, causing the remaining Scarlet Star Managers eyes to tremble in disbelief.
Ke... Gan Hong lightly coughed and spurted blood before he warned with difficulty, If you kill me... Head Manager will not let you off.
Yang Kai tilted his head and looked at him with a grin, Are those your last words?
Gan Hongs eyes widened as he roared, You dare?
Yang Kai shook his arm a little as violent energy passed along the Azure Dragon Spear, invading Gan Hongs body and wreaking havoc.
Gan Hong let out miserable screams, but only for three breaths before falling silent.
Yang Kais grim and ghastly voice reverberated the next moment, See whether I dare or not!
Yang Kai flicked his spear, but not a single drop of blood spilled. Afterwards, he turned around and looked at the remaining Managers, smiling slightly as he casually commented, Second one!
Lady Qins finger trembled, accidentally plucking the string as an ethereal chime echoed in the hall. The Ou Yang Brothers faces turned cold, whereas a tight frown appeared on Bei Yu Shans brow. Chen Tian Fei was drenched in cold sweat from head to toe.
Yang Kai looked at him with a smile, Manager Chen, you look much better now.
Yang Kai was being honest. Chen Tian Fei looked handsome in his thin state, but because he cultivated some strange Secret Art, he had to maintain his fat body. Now that all of his fat had disappeared, he had regained his handsome and elegant appearance.
Chen Tian Fei didnt know whether to laugh or cry in the face of Yang Kais teasing, wearing a complicated look on his face.
Yang Kai looked around as he rested his spear on his shoulders and stated, Manager Chen just said that Scarlet Star only ever has seven Managers, and there arent any seats available for me. Fortunately, there are seats available now, and I want one of them, do you have any objections?
No one answered, in fact, no one dared to speak at will. Everyone was on tenterhooks, afraid that Yang Kai would attack again.
After this battle, the Scarlet Star Managers realized that this boy was a complete lunatic. He wasnt even afraid of challenging Open Heaven Realm Masters when he was just an Emperor Realm Junior. More importantly though, a group of Open Heaven Realm Masters were beaten black and blue by him. If word about this incident got out, they would not be able to lift their heads in public ever again.
This is your territory, so we will follow your rules. Manager Chen also said before that if I want to be a Manager of Scarlet Star, I need the approval of four or more current Managers! So ladies and gentlemen, please state your opinion, do you agree or disagree!
Chen Tian Fei and the others were filled with unspoken criticism after hearing this. [So you know you are on our turf?]
Although they had hearts full of complaints, they had no choice but to give it a serious thought.
Both Du Niang Zi and Gan Hong were dead. Although they had some friendship with these two, it wasnt deep enough for them to seek revenge against this madman who could easily kill the two of them.
Furthermore, Yang Kais combat power was quite terrifying. If they could really have him as a Scarlet Star Manager, it would greatly benefit Scarlet Star.
So, after some pondering for a moment, Chen Tian Fei was the first to raise his hand and declare, I agree!
Melodious chimes of zither rang as Lady Qin agreed with a smile, I agree too!
The Ou Yang Brothers looked at each other and nodded their consents.
Bei Yu Shan stood there scratching his head. He looked at Du Niang Zis corpse and agreed in a humming voice, Then, I agree too.
Chen Tian Fei immediately cupped his fists and welcomed Yang Kai, Little Brother Yang, welcome to Scarlet Star, everyone will be one family from now on. There will be times when we will have to rely on you, please dont refuse!
Yang Kai calmly smiled, Very good.
The nearby Yue He suddenly stated, I also want to be a Scarlet Star Manager!
Seeing everyone turn their gaze at her, Yue He assumed a stance that said that it was a matter of course, Your Scarlet Star is short of two Managers, cant I make up the number?
Chen Tian Fei blinked his eyes in dumbfoundedness before agreeing with a smile, Of course, you are very welcome!
They had been trying to make Yue He join Scarlet Star for some time now, but she had always been ambiguous with her responses. Now, she was asking to join Scarlet Star of her own accord, so why would they refuse?
And as she had brutally mentioned, Scarlet Star was short of two Managers, so they needed to fill the numbers. Not to mention, Yue He herself was a Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, someone stronger than Chen Tian Fei and the others, making her more than qualified.
After the fight, two top positions in Scarlet Star had changed hands. Yang Kai and Yue He joined Scarlet Star as the Sixth and Seventh Manager respectively. Even though the others werent exactly happy about this situation, their strength had indeed been boosted. Chen Tian Fei and the others could also accept this result.
Now that Yang Kai was a Manager of Scarlet Star, he didnt need to act wantonly arrogant anymore. Yang Kai straightened his clothes, put away the Scarlet Flood Dragon and Earth Dragon, and started chatting with Chen Tian Fei and the others.
After a while, Yang Kai asked, What about the Head Manager? Im a new member of Scarlet Star, dont I have to greet him?
Chen Tian Fei smiled lightly, Head Manager is in retreat year-round. Even we dont see him often, so why would he care about overseeing us? If the opportunity presents itself, I will introduce Brother Yang.
Yang Kai nodded lightly. He couldnt help but be a little curious about Scarlet Stars Head Manager. He didnt participate in this fight at all, like a hidden Dragon that shows its tail but never its face. Who knew if it was as Yue He had said, that he was trying to break through to the Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm.
