As the powerful wind from Gu Kai's Black Soldier swept past, I barely had time to register his attack. I felt a strong gust of air rush around me, shattering the Slash Mark I had just unleashed into a flurry of black and white light that vanished into the air.
Moreover, the Bull-Headed Monsters behind him were effortlessly sliced in half by that unstoppable sword strike, collapsing to the ground and gradually dissipating into dust.
Witnessing this scene, a wave of intense dread washed over me. I thought to myself, "I've clearly gained a significant amount of power, and Jiang Ling's restrictions have been lifted. This strike should be stronger than any previous attack. How could it be so easily shattered? Just how strong is Gu Kai?"
Lost in thought, I saw Gu Kai standing unfazed, facing the figure engulfed in red light. Calmly, he said, "Are you really planning to use these scraps to achieve your goals? How naive."
"Scraps?" The figure in the red light scoffed. "Since you speak so boldly, let me show you the power of the Void God! Prepare to die!"
With that, the figure shot out from the red light like a bolt of lightning, clad in a knee-length Long Robe and wielding a seven-foot spear aimed directly at Gu Kai.
Instead of dodging, Gu Kai leaned forward and lunged with his sword. "Void God? Spare me your arrogance; there is only one Void God I acknowledge!"
As their weapons clashed with a resounding clang, emerald sparks erupted around them. The figure who had charged out quickly retreated two steps after their blades met.
But Gu Kai did not relent; he swung his sword down fiercely. Realizing the danger, the opponent hastily turned the spear around, gripping it tightly in an attempt to block. Little did he know that Gu Kai's strike was no ordinary slash; it was infused with immense power.
At the moment their weapons collided again, a massive surge of emerald smoke-like substance erupted from Gu Kai's Black Soldier.
I stood at a distance, squinting to see more clearly. To my astonishment, those green objects were not mere smoke but spirits resembling hellish demons. The spirits gathered behind the spear-wielding man, howling as they extended their sharp fingers and lunged toward his back with blinding speed.
At that moment, the man held his spear high above his head with both hands, completely unable to turn around for defense. If he even loosened his grip for a second, Gu Kai's sharp Black Soldier would cleave him in two from above.
Caught in this precarious situation, I thought to myself, "If it were me, this strike would surely mean certain death; there would be no room for retreat."
However, unexpectedly, the spear-wielding man was no ordinary foe. Instead of retreating, he suddenly lunged forward a step, forcing Gu Kai back slightly. Then he bent his knees slightly to lower his stance and swiftly kicked out like a gale aimed at Gu Kai's waist.
The strike did not surprise Gu Kai in the slightest; instead, it seemed to be entirely within his control. The man wielding the spear was about to kick Gu Kai, but he showed no intention of defending or dodging. Instead, he lifted one leg and kicked towards the side of the spear-wielding man's body.
In an instant, a dull thud echoed as both of their feet struck each other almost simultaneously, and the massive Spirit formed from Gu Kai's power dissipated in an instant due to the impact.
The two men were sent flying in opposite directions before coming to a stop after a short distance.
"Who exactly are you? You are not the Void God! How can you possess such power?!" the Armed Man exclaimed in astonishment.
Gu Kai remained unfazed, as if the earlier attack had caused him little harm. He calmly replied, "You are not yet qualified to know who I am..." With that, Gu Kai lightly flicked his Black Soldier and flipped the blade to grip it behind him. He continued, "Now you have two choices: one; you can deactivate this formation and then I will kill you. Two; I kill you, and then I will deactivate the formation myself."
Hearing this, I thought to myself, "What difference does it make? Either way, death is inevitable; what choice is there?"
The spear-wielding man snorted dismissively, "Such arrogance! Since that's the case, I have no need to be polite!"
With that, he let out a roar, and dark lightning spread around him, accompanied by a powerful force that condensed in the air with intense Killing Intent.
The sensation sent chills down my spine. "This feeling... it's like the Void God. Could he also be a Void God?!" I widened my eyes in terror as I looked at the spear-wielding man.
At this moment, lightning surrounded him, continuously radiating with crackling sounds.
"Gu Kai, be careful! He is a Void God!" I shouted anxiously at Gu Kai. Having witnessed the full extent of the Void God's power before, fear naturally filled my heart.
But at the same time, I was puzzled as to why a Void God would appear here and what they intended by capturing Death Apostle and Hu Fang...
Just as my mind was filled with confusion, Gu Kai heard my shout and said to me, "Shut up! Aren't you trying to save your friends? They are right here; hurry up!"
Upon hearing Gu Kai, Hu Fang, and the Death Apostle were here, I was momentarily stunned, wondering how he knew.
But at this moment, my life was at stake. If I hesitated any longer, I truly didn't know what would happen to them. With that thought in mind, I responded and rushed towards the Lumberyard without a second thought.
As I attempted to charge in, a man holding a spear shouted, "Not so fast!" Immediately, an intense pressure surged from my side.
I wanted to retreat, but it felt like that force was already upon me; there was no way to escape.
Just as I was about to be struck, I sensed another powerful force arriving beside me. With a loud bang, a gust of wind blew me directly to the massive magic circle inside the Lumberyard.
Regaining my balance and turning around, I realized it was Gu Kai who had blocked the attack for me. He was now facing off against the spear-wielding man. Seeing that I was unharmed, he shouted at me, "I've got this! Go save your friend and don't worry about me!"
With that, he suddenly exerted force and swung his Black Soldier with great strength, sending the spear-wielding man flying away.
