58: Chapter 58 What? He is Kang Dalei

This shouldn't be a power that someone of their age could master.

"Kang Dalei, Kang Dalei, who exactly are you?"

Meng Chuan could not believe that the person before him was some unknown nobody; he must be a seeded player from that God Venerate Family, he must be.

"Meng Chuan, be careful."

Just as Meng Chuan was lost in his thoughts, Kang Dalei's fist wind had already arrived.

It was still an unremarkable punch, yet it left the Body Refinement Divine Venerable, Meng Dajiang, looking horrified.

It took only a single punch; he, a Body Refinement Divine Venerable, was like an egg being smashed. With just a light wave of the fist wind, his entire being was sent flying back over a thousand miles.

[Ding-dong, temporary mission issued: Shatter Meng Chuan's Dao Heart, reward: Killing Sword Intent]

"Meng Chuan, be more low-key in your next life."

Kang Dalei threw a punch straight at Meng Chuan. The terrifying fist wind instantly terrified Meng Chuan, who was already shaken, causing him to stumble back a few steps. It was precisely these steps that made his body inexplicably go weak.

Even Zhuang Sheng in the primordial spirit space had not yet reacted when Meng Chuan's realm suddenly plummeted from the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm to the Internal Refining Realm.

"The Dao Heart is shattered."

[Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for completing the mission, reward: Killing Sword Intent]

"Meng Chuan."

Zhuang Sheng shouted in a panic.

Outside, one could only hear the playful voice of Kang Dalei as he retracted his fist wind.

"Young Master Chuan, if you want to find Liu Qiyue, go ahead, but don't treat me like a soft persimmon. Consider today's situation with your Meng Family a lesson. Next time, even if your mother Bai Nianyun comes in person, I will still kill."

After dropping these words, Kang Dalei left without looking back.

As for Meng Chuan, he couldn't afford to kill him just yet.

After Kang Dalei left, Zhuang Sheng's voice echoed once again in Meng Chuan's primordial spirit space.

"Meng Chuan, I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to be this powerful."

"Zhuang Sheng, why didn't you make a move just now?"

Meng Chuan questioned him.

"You have the ability to deal with him, don't you?"

Meng Chuan's expression turned extremely ugly.

"I..." Zhuang Sheng didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Meng Chuan became even more dissatisfied with Zhuang Sheng.

"Fine, fine. Sooner or later, I, Meng Chuan, will become stronger than anyone else, and I won't rely on anyone."

Meng Chuan's gaze began to change, becoming somewhat fierce.

"Meng Chuan, don't be like this. Losing once is no big deal."

But the current Meng Chuan was in no state to listen to Zhuang Sheng's words.

Right now, he only craved one thing: power.

Power as formidable as Kang Dalei's.

"Kang Dalei, you just wait."

On the other side, Kang Dalei, who hadn't walked far, suddenly stepped into thin air. Immediately after, his entire figure plummeted into a deep pit at lightning speed. There was nothing in the deep pit except for a massive iron cage.

That's right, Kang Dalei had fallen into someone else's trap.

"Gugu gugu, another prey has delivered itself to our door. Our luck is good today."

A few strange-looking demon-people crawled out from the bushes nearby, looking elated.

Then, they stomped on the ground, causing the entire mountain to undergo a violent transformation, and a stone staircase appeared before them.

"Take him back and claim the reward."

Soon, the few demon-people carried the chains confining Kang Dalei and happily walked into a stone chamber.

After opening the stone chamber, they entered a spacious hall.

Inside the hall sat a massive cage.

Within the cage, several humans were imprisoned. These humans had shackles on their hands and feet, and their bodies were connected by a long iron chain.

Their bodies emitted an aura of rot and death.

At this moment, a demon-person with horns on his head began to heckle.

"Place your bets, place your bets! The more you stake, the more you win! Pass three rounds, and the payout increases tenfold!"

"I bet! I bet!"

"I bet this group of human geniuses won't last three minutes."

"I bet five minutes."

"I bet twenty seconds."

A sudden voice caused all the demons to turn their gaze toward Kang Dalei.

Kang Dalei, sitting inside the iron cage, drew his demon-slaying blade and scanned the demons, saying:

"Let's make a bet. Ten seconds to take you all out. If I lose, I'll let you do whatever you want with me. If you lose, your lives are mine. How about it?"

"Kid, you're courting death."

The next second, the demon-slaying blade swung out, shattering the iron cage. The few demon-people guarding him were killed instantly. Kang Dalei's figure flashed, and the shadow of the demon-slaying blade danced.

In less than ten seconds, all the demons in the hall were annihilated.

A bunch of small fry; there was no need for him to use a second move.

With a few more slashes, Kang Dalei severed the shackles of the people chained inside.

"Let's go."

Putting away his demon-slaying blade, Kang Dalei walked straight toward the depths of the hall.

He could sense a formidable power coming from that direction.

"Thank you for saving us, brother."

"Thank you, Young Master."

The rescued group all cast grateful glances at Kang Dalei.

However, Kang Dalei paid them no mind; saving them was merely a matter of convenience.

"Brother." Seeing that Kang Dalei was still walking deeper inside, a man who looked like a scholar called out to him.

Kang Dalei turned his head, his face icy.

"What is it?"

The scholar stammered, saying in a low voice:

"Young Master, are you intending to enter the inner hall?"

Kang Dalei nodded, and the scholar continued:

"The inner hall is guarded by a Heavenly Demon Sect demon; you absolutely must not enter rashly, brother."

Upon hearing that Kang Dalei intended to enter the inner hall, the scholar was shocked and immediately became anxious.

The reason they had all been captured was because of that demon.

Its strength was likely far beyond that of an ordinary Divine Venerable.

However, faced with the scholar's warning, Kang Dalei waved his hand dismissively.

"Just because you are afraid doesn't mean others are. It's just a Heavenly Demon Sect demon; killing it will be as easy as slaughtering a dog."

"Young Master is so domineering!"

A woman in elegant clothes nearby had her eyes flash with brilliance, gazing at Kang Dalei with full admiration in her lovely eyes.

But the very next second, as soon as Kang Dalei entered the inner hall, he was startled by an extremely arrogant voice.

In the center of the inner hall, amidst a lake, within several giant iron cages, a woman with a long black braid reaching down to her heels was shouting arrogantly at a group of demons:

"What does a fourth-tier demon amount to? What does a Third-tier Demon King amount to? Even if there were seventy-two of you instead of thirty-six, it still wouldn't be enough for my brother Kang Dalei to beat up!"

"Gulp~"

Kang Dalei's leg, which had just stepped inside, suddenly froze in mid-air.

Due to his arrogance, the stone door he had pushed open also made a loud noise at that moment.

Everyone turned their heads in unison. Ruan Mi, inside the iron cage, immediately shouted excitedly the moment she turned and saw Kang Dalei:

"Kang Dalei, come save me! I'm over here!"

Immediately after, without waiting for anyone to react, Kang Dalei whipped his head around and bolted.

There was not a shred of hesitation, not a hint of anxiety, not a moment of doubt—he was incredibly fast.

It was only after he had run a long way off that the people in the outer hall finally reacted.

"Oh no, everyone run!"

After running over a thousand miles in one breath, Kang Dalei and the others finally stopped.

Meanwhile, the demons inside the inner hall looked at each other, all feeling utterly confused.

"Who was that?!"

"I don't know!"

"Forget him."

Seeing that the demons hadn't reacted for a moment, and seeing that Kang Dalei had run off without caring about her, Ruan Mi's turncoat nature activated once again.

"Are you idiots?! Did you even hear what I said? That was Kang Dalei!"

"What? He is Kang Dalei?"

After exclaiming in surprise, the demons silently lowered their heads and resumed their chatting.

It made Ruan Mi, inside the iron cage, so angry she could die; it felt like all the aggro she had been building up for so long had been a complete waste of effort.
