Chapter 43 Playing Hero Part 2

"Wei Zhuan!" Su Mu called out as a belly full of blood rose up. "Between you and I, we cannot exist together!"

"You really are resolute!" Wei Zhuan clasped his two hands together and smashed down toward Su Mu's abdomen.

With a loud bang, Su Mu spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting from the pain.

"Brother Wei Zhuan, you should stop," Yang Kai said, walking step by step to Su Mu.

"En?" Squinting his eyes toward Yang Kai, Wei Zhuan sized him up, and a flash of suspicion passed through his eyes.

Yang Ka silently approached Su Mu with a stoic face. Moving his hand, he went to feel for Su Mu's breathing and found out that Su Mu had only fainted, leaving him at ease.

"Who are you?" Wei Zhuan wasn't happy. With the differences between Su Mu and himself, when this person appeared to check Su Mu's condition, it clearly showed that they didn't put him in their eyes.

Standing up, Yang Kai calmly looked at Wei Zhuan.

"This master asked who you are." Wei Zhuan lifted up his chin and stated in a stern voice.

"Trial disciple Yang Kai, please teach me!" Yang Kai cupped his hands at Wei Zhuan because this was the battle etiquette between Sky Tower disciples.

"Yang Kai?" Wei Zhuan looked blankly before quickly recovering himself. "You are the Yang Kai that won against Storm House?"

"What a joke! An insignificant trial disciple dares to come and challenge this master! Do you have the right?" Wei Zhuan sneered.

"The Main Gate rules state that as long as the difference in cultivation between disciples doesn't surpass three stages, then they are able to duel!"

"This master is at the initial element third stage, what can you be considered as?" Wei Zhuan looked at him with contempt. A trial disciple, he was only a disciple that had yet to break through into the initial element stage. Since he had yet to break through, then their stage difference would naturally have surpassed three stages already.

"I am also at the initial element third stage!" Yang Kai replied indifferently while suppressing his cultivation through a secret technique that he discovered yesterday night.

A sound of bewilderment echoed.

"That can't be possible. Yang Kai has already reached the initial element third stage?"

"Aaa, just start fighting," Yang yelled in his mind.

Wei Zhuan was also full of suspicions regarding Yang Kai, constantly wondering if he was lying or not. If he had reached the initial element stage, then why was he still a trial disciple?

What he didn't know was that it was only last night that Yang Kai broke through. Furthermore, he had gone from the tempered body ninth stage directly to the initial element third stage.

"Don't I have the right to challenge you now?" Yang Kai narrowed his eyes as he asked, there was an ominous glint in them.

"If you really have this level of cultivation, then you have the necessary right to challenge me." Wei Zhuan nodded his head and laughed maliciously. "Only if you are not afraid of death!"

Yang Kail laughed indifferently. "I hope that you are also not afraid of death!"

"Talking big!" Wei Zhuan was angry.

"Come. I'll allow you to punch me as a test!" Wei Zhuan waved his hand towards Yang Kai, full of arrogance and anger.

Yang Kai laughed in his mind and covered his palm with Qi. Yesterday night he found a very interesting thing when he tried to merge different energy; he found that he could form destruction energy, but it had a colorless form, so it looked invisible.

"You think you can hurt me with a simple palm?" Wei Zhuan said angrily.

Yang Kai ignored him and slashed forward as if he had a blade in his hand, accompanied by slicing and cutting sounds.

Wei Zhuan only felt his stomach turn cold. As he looked down, his heart dropped, and he shrieked out: "My Embroidered Cloud Locking Mail!"

This Embroidered Cloud Locking Mail was an ordinary-grade middle-class artifact. Although its rank wasn't high, it was very suitable for someone at his level.

He didn't know where the Grand Elder obtained it from, but he had given it to him. Back then, the Grand Elder had said very clearly that normally, an initial element martial practitioner would be unable to break through this defensive artifact's defenses unless they used a great killing weapon.

But now, this treasure that he had such faith in had been cut by a fellow disciple in a duel, one who was only at the initial element third stage.

What martial weapon did he just use? Was that red blade also a secret weapon? And its grade should also be higher than the Embroidered Cloud Locking Mail. If not so, how could this shocking event occur?

He was shocked that his Embroidered Cloud Locking Mail was unable to block even a single blow from his opponent and was crying over the tear in his defensive artifact. That was because it had lost all its defensive properties now.

He was extremely angry. Turning his body around, Wei Zhuan jumped toward Yang Kai and bellowed: "You dared to break my defensive artifact! I want you to die!"

Wei Zhuan was also at the initial element third stage, so when his strength burst out.

When Wei Zhuan reached Yang Kai, the blade-like palm crisscrossed through the air, slashing Wei Zhuan multiple times and leaving various wounds.

Wei Zhuan's body immediately froze, his fist stopping three inches away from Yang Kai. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move a step further because he felt a scalding hot feeling.

Shuddering, his eyes turned to face the ground. Only to see Yang Kai's hand, like a quick snake attacking incessantly.
