60: Chapter 60 The End of an Era for a Genius

Kang Dalei was busy acting cool when a slap came flying toward his face; fortunately, his reaction was quick, and he dodged it by turning to the side.

"Who is it, daring to launch a sneak attack?"

"You pill-swindling scoundrel, let's see where you can run to now."

Seeing that it was Qian Jin and her group, Kang Dalei panicked, but his eyes darted around, and he immediately came up with a countermeasure.

"Miss Qian, help me block them, and I will definitely go to your Qian Family to find a Divine Statue Manifestation to assist you."

"What do you mean by that?"

Before Qian Jin could react to the meaning of Kang Dalei's words, the next second, a sharp gale swept over like a hurricane.

"Divine Statue Manifestation, a genius—we of the Heavenly Demon Sect love you little human geniuses the most."

Just from the shockwave, Qian Jin was sent flying.

The rest of the group, under the impact of the Heavenly Demon Sect members, were all heavily injured in just one exchange.

"Divine Statue Manifestation."

Everyone was shocked.

Only a Divine Statue Manifestation could injure them all without any effort.

"Scoundrel, I, Qian Jin, will fight you to the death."

As Qian Jin climbed up from the ground, if she still didn't realize she had been played by Kang Dalei, her intelligence would be no better than Ruan Mi's.

No, perhaps even worse than Ruan Mi's.

"Sorry." Muttering to himself, Kang Dalei ran even faster.

"If I can't beat them, I'll have to sacrifice others to save myself."

Just as Kang Dalei muttered that, a Black Silver Snow Leopard blocked his path.

"You bastard, you still want to run?"

Ruan Mi had appeared directly in front of Kang Dalei, though he didn't know when.

Beside her, her Divine Statue Manifestation, the Black Silver Snow Leopard, was looking at him with a fierce expression.

Seeing Ruan Mi, Kang Dalei's heart sank immediately.

With a traitor blocking the way in front and pursuers behind, now was the time to test his escape skills.

"Now, I have no choice but to use that move."

Sensing that the Heavenly Demon Sect members behind him were getting closer, Kang Dalei steeled himself.

He pinched a spell with his fingers, and blue light instantly lit up around his body.

"Great Instant Transmission Technique, activate!"

Whoosh~

In just an instant, Kang Dalei, who had been within the circle of people, completely disappeared.

"Where is he?"

"Bastard."

Seeing Kang Dalei vanish from the spot instantly, Ruan Mi gnashed her teeth in anger again.

That bastard still had secrets.

"What should we do?" A few members of the Heavenly Demon Sect flew to Ruan Mi's side and asked awkwardly.

Ruan Mi's mood was currently at rock bottom.

She had let that bastard run away again.

What made Ruan Mi even more annoyed was:

"That coward Kang Dalei, why is he getting more and more cowardly? He's even afraid of three fake Danyun Realm Heavenly Demons."

Ruan Mi stroked her long braid that reached her heels, thinking thoughtfully.

In fact, from the moment Kang Dalei entered the inner hall, he had misunderstood something. The words Ruan Mi spoke didn't mean there were thirty-six Heavenly Demons in the water prison, but that the entire Heavenly Demon Sect had thirty-six powerful Heavenly Demons.

Therefore, the entire combat power of the water prison was just Shen Zhou, who had reached the Third Layer Heavenly Demon, and a few fake Danyun Realm puppets he had created.

In terms of strength, they weren't even as strong as the Meng Family he had encountered before.

"Pursue." After thinking for a while, Ruan Mi decisively gave the order to pursue.

She had humbled herself just to take revenge on that bastard; how could she let him escape so easily?

"What about them?" A Heavenly Demon nearby pointed at Qian Jin and her group and asked.

Ruan Mi glanced at them and waved her hand, saying, "Take them all back."

When Qian Jin and the others heard this, their world collapsed.

"You pill-swindling scoundrel, you will die a horrible death!"

They had just escaped for half a day, only to be captured and taken back again.

It could be said that Kang Dalei was the reason they escaped, and Kang Dalei was the reason they were sent back, and they had also lost thirty high-grade demon pills for nothing.

"Big brother, he's not just a coward and a liar; he also got us captured again. I want to fight him to the death."

"Little sister, don't be impulsive. You can't beat him."

On the other side, after Kang Dalei used the Great Instant Transmission Technique to escape, he felt completely drained.

"My mana bar is almost empty; I'll have to use it less in the future."

Kang Dalei was panting heavily, but when he looked up...

"Oh my god."

"Liu Qiyue, why are you here?"

Liu Qiyue looked speechless.

"I was about to ask you, how did you get in?"

"Got in? What do you mean?" Kang Dalei looked around. Great, when did he get captured?

"Why am I here?"

"I was about to ask you." Liu Qiyue covered her forehead.

"Just in time, I'm here to save you. Come with me."

Kang Dalei pried open the iron cage and reached out to grab Liu Qiyue's small hand, but as soon as he took a step forward, Liu Qiyue stepped back.

"What's the situation with you? Why are you dodging?"

Liu Qiyue pointed behind Kang Dalei with a bitter expression.

"How about you look at the situation around you first?" Liu Qiyue pointed behind Kang Dalei with a bitter expression.

Confused, Kang Dalei looked behind him. Goodness, a group of demon-people.

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let anything happen to you."

For the sake of the reward, Kang Dalei decided to go all out.

"You step back. When the fighting starts later, find an opportunity to leave on your own."

After Kang Dalei finished speaking, his Divine Statue Manifestation was immediately unleashed, along with his Sha Kasaya and all his malevolent energy. This was the time he had used all his means in his life; he had to hold these people off in a short time.

"Come and fight."

Kang Dalei crooked his finger and charged up first, taking the opportunity to wink at Liu Qiyue behind him.

The Divine Statue Manifestation, the Ancient Black Tortoise, possessed absolute defense, and combined with the Sha Kasaya, it could be said that no one in the same realm could break his defense.

Coupled with the attacks from the malevolent energy, Kang Dalei was confident he could withstand the attacks of these few Heavenly Demons for a short time.

However, after the person reached him, with just a simple collision of fists, one Heavenly Demon exploded like a balloon.

This not only shocked the surrounding Heavenly Demons, but even Kang Dalei was stunned.

Was he really this strong now? Able to punch a Fourth Layer Heavenly Demon to death?

Before Kang Dalei could continue attacking, the remaining few Heavenly Demons launched attacks at him, but in the hands of Kang Dalei, who was firing on all cylinders, none of them lasted more than one punch.

Until he had dealt with the four Heavenly Demons in the inner hall, Kang Dalei still hadn't quite snapped out of it.

At this moment, Liu Qiyue, who was in the iron chains, was already somewhat numb from shock.

She could feel that Kang Dalei's aura this time was several times stronger than the last time.

"You… you killed them all?"

After Liu Qiyue was freed, a system notification sound rang in Kang Dalei's mind.

Kang Dalei nodded, still feeling somewhat dazed.

Although Heavenly Demons were half a rank lower, they shouldn't be this weak.

Destroyed with a single punch.

"Sure enough, body tempering is the path that suits me."

After seeing that Kang Dalei was even more powerful than she had imagined, Liu Qiyue was even more determined to pursue body tempering.

"Right, I forgot to ask, how did you get captured?"

Kang Dalei withdrew all his means and began to ask Liu Qiyue.

Given Liu Qiyue's personality, she shouldn't have been captured so easily.

Hearing Kang Dalei's question, Liu Qiyue didn't want to say anything at first, but thinking of body tempering, she still explained some things.

It was actually very simple: Ruan Mi didn't have a good brain, fell into someone else's trap, and then got captured.

It was just that simple.

Listening to Liu Qiyue's story, Kang Dalei felt that this plot felt somewhat familiar.

"Forget it, it's enough that I saved you. I should go."

Having completed the mission, it was time for him to leave this place of trouble.

Mainly, if he ran into Ruan Mi in a while, he really wouldn't be able to leave.

He didn't want to use the Great Instant Transmission Technique frequently; such a big move consumed a lot of internal energy.

Seeing that Kang Dalei was about to leave, Liu Qiyue hurriedly followed.

The two of them soon left the dungeon.

At the Heavenly Demon Sect stronghold, the thirty-six Heavenly Demons and the genius of a generation, Shen Zhou, were inexplicably punched to death just like that; he died inexplicably and died without any value.
