Chapter 44 Playing Hero Part 3

"A defensive artifact isn't all it's made out to be." Yang Kai sneered as his eyes swept over the Embroidered Cloud Locking Mail on Wei Zhuan's body; it was full of holes and tears.

Yang Kai was also shocked because he hadn't predicted that his destruction energy would be this powerful; it basically erased everything it touched.

"Come and try to injure me!" Wei Zhuan's cheeks trembled, looking at Yang Kai With a bit of resentment, even though his life was in the hands of Yang Kai, Wei Zhuan wasn't the least bit afraid because he was the grandson of the Grand Elder! With a person holding such an honorable position backing him, no one in Sky Tower would dare injure him.

"Brat, you probably don't know, but my grandfather is the Grand Elder, so if you dare injure me, you are looking for death!" Full of confidence, Wei Zhuan looked over at Yang Kai threateningly.

"I don't know whether it's you who dies first or me?" Yang Kai said to Wei Zhuan, his voice full of interest. On his face was a strange smile, and he slowly exerted strength with his fingers.

Slowly, a trickle of dark red blood dripped down from Wei Zhuan's chest, and he couldn't help but let out a groan. The moment that he got injured, Wei Zhuan felt a pain that burned his skin and flesh painfully.

"You actually dared......" Wei Zhuan looked at Yang Kai in in disbelief. He couldn't believe that there were still people in Sky Tower who dared to injure him.

"It looks like you want to die." Yang Kai sighed softly and pushed the hand a bit further into Wei Zhuan's body.

Wei Zhuan cried out in fright because he could feel that if Yang Kai's hand were to penetrate even deeper, then it would stab his heart.

That was a fatal attack!

But before Yang Kai could push his hand further, from afar, a voice bellowed out in rage: "Stop!"

Immediately after this order, a row of people appeared in front of Yang Kai, and without waiting to give an explanation, one of them attacked Yang Kai. he flew backward.

"My dear system, can you please let me kill them? This is too irritating—one goes, another comes. Fu*k," Yang Kai said to Sweet Potato in his mind, trying to hold his killing intent.

"No, host, control. Let fruit rip in the slow process; it will taste better," Sweet Potato tried to calm her host's fear he would go on a killing spree.

"Senior brother Yang!" Li Yun Tian and the others turned pale in fright and quickly rushed forward to help him up.

Yang Kai stood up, and while sighing, trying to control his anger, he looked at the new youth. He stood beside Wei Zhuan, supporting Wei Zhuan with one hand and directing a look filled with maliciousness at Yang Kai. He spoke out, "Young master Zhuan, are you alright?"

Wei Zhuan looked over at Yang Kai, his gaze full of poison. His body appeared a bit unstable, and he shook his head: "I'm fine."

"It's good that you are fine. I have come late." The youth spoke again.

"You are considered too late!" Wei Zhuan laughed out and peculiarly asked:

"Senior brother Cao, ever since you became a Disciplinary Disciple, you should understand school rules better than any of us. So, I ask you, if one were to try to murder another in the Main Gate, what would their punishment be?"

Cao Zheng Wen sneered, booming out: "This is very serious. We would first break their arms and legs, then expel them from the school, and then kill them. This also acts as a warning for others!"

Wei Zhuan Hehe laughed and pointed his finger at Yang Kai: "Just then, this person threatened to kill me! Senior brother Cao, punish him as you see fit!"

With someone backing him now, how could Wei Zhuan possibly continue to act as submissively as before?

Cao Zheng Wen sternly asked: "You are serious?"

Wei Zhuan coldly nodded non-stop: "Senior brother Cao, when you arrived, didn't you see everything that happened with your own two eyes?"

Cao Zheng Wen nodded his head: "That's right, when I arrived, I truly saw this person, with a lethal weapon, pointing it at your chest. If I had not hurriedly blocked his attack, then you would have long since fallen under his poisonous hands. This person actually dared to act so brazenly during the day while breaking school regulations!"

These two sang the same tune well, coordinated with each other, and managed to put Yang Kai under suspicion of attempted murder.

"Nonsense!" Li Yun Tian hissed out, "Just then, senior brother Yang and Wei Zhuan were only dueling and exchanging notes. How could it be as serious as the way you are presenting it?"

Cao Zheng Wen snorted: "It was as simple as exchanging notes?"

Zhao Hu answered: "If you don't believe it, then you can ask any of the disciples here who came to watch the fun. They were all witnesses to this. Furthermore, Wei Zhuan first started this entire thing. Senior brother Yang was dragged into this."

"There are witnesses, who are the witnesses?" Wei Zhuan tilted his head, chuckling as he looked around.

"Leave it; no one will help me because his backer is the Grand Elder," Yang said, not wanting to continue this situation.
