Rebirth: City Sovereign

Zhang Ling opened his eyes wide in disbelief, his mouth unable to close as if his chin had been dislocated.    

This improved Soul Sealing Array had already begun preparing the moment Zhang Ling had tied it up again. To activate the Soul Sealing Array, not only would the seventeen Inner Sect disciples have to use all of their strength to circulate their Fa Li, they would also need special tools unique to the Heavenly Master Dao. Through Zhang Ling's modifications, the Soul Sealing Array became even more terrifying, and as long as the target within the array did not turn into ashes, the torrents of lightning would not disappear.    

Last time the Heavenly Master Dao disciples used this Soul Sealing Formation, they had eliminated seven to eight Yuan Dan Stage cultivators.    

But now, when facing Ye Kai alone, not only did the formation he meticulously prepared get broken by him with a single strike, the mana and energy of seventeen Inner Sect disciples not exploded, and they did not harm Ye Kai in the slightest.    

The smoke gradually dissipated and Ye Kai stood right in front of him, staring coldly at himself with his jade green eyes.    

Seeing Ye Kai who was carrying his sword with one hand and remained unmoving, Zhang Ling could no longer suppress the fear that came from his heart. Both of his legs trembled, and he could not help but retreat, and shouted loudly.    

"This is impossible!"    

All of Zhang Ling's plans had been turned into nothing in front of his absolute strength. What made Zhang Ling even more unable to accept was that from the beginning to the end, Ye Kai had only used the Red Crystal Longsword in his hands.    

A sword to destroy the Thunder Dragon, a sword to cut down the lightning pool, a sword to destroy the lightning array.    

White-Clothed Sword Immortal, it must be like this!    

He did not use any other artifacts nor did he use any spells, even Zhang Ling had always said that he did not use a single bit of the Baleful Yin Force in his body.    

In the face of the various profound mysteries of the Thunder Arts that Zhang Ling had gone all out and exhausted all his strength to execute, Ye Kai had simply not used his full strength. Even if he had exhausted most of his physical strength, it was still more than enough to deal with Zhang Ling.    

This completely exceeded Zhang Ling's expectations.    

The gap between Ye Kai and himself, was far larger than what he had imagined.    

"Bastard!" Bastard! "Bastard!" Zhang Ling cursed angrily as he pointed at Ye Kai. His face was twisted and ugly to the extreme.    

"Why can't I? In order to reach the Divine Energy, I trained endlessly in Thunder Arts all day just to shock the world! "    

"No matter what, I must kill you. Then, I will participate in the National War of Martial Arts and spy on the immortal gate!"    

At this time, those elite Inner Sect disciples were affected by the huge energy produced by the explosion, and all of them fell face down in the Cabinet — or rather, it could be said that this was what was once called a Cabinet.    

With Ye Kai as the center, the interior of the circle with a radius of more than ten metres, it no longer had the appearance of a cabinet. The floor, ceiling, roof, doors, had all become pitch black scorched earth, with black smoke coming out from time to time.    

"That's it?" Ye Kai's eyes flashed with a cold light, he asked with his ice-cold voice.    

"Huh?" Hearing Ye Kai's ice-cold voice, Zhang Ling couldn't help but be stunned.    

"Just because of a mere National War of Martial Arts, you kidnapped my sister?"    

"How laughable!"    

Ye Kai was furious, he took out his Red Crystal Longsword and used the tip of the sword to cut through the air, aiming straight for Zhang Ling's throat.    

"Keep them under your sword!"    

A somewhat familiar voice sounded.    

The moment it touched Zhang Ling's throat, the Red Crystal Longsword stopped moving forward and the tip of the sword slightly cut across the skin outside of Zhang Ling's throat.    

Ah!    

Realizing that he almost lost his leader family, Zhang Ling sobbed.    

Ye Kai maintained his movement with the sharp sword, and shot a cold glance towards the origin of the voice.    

A young man walked over quickly. It was as if lightning was gathering under his feet, and with every step he took, he created a large amount of electric crumbs. There was a Heavenly Master Dao medallion hanging from his waist.    

He was one of the Heavenly Master Dao's First Senior Brother and also one of the China's participating members, Zhang Fann.    

"White-Clothed Sword Immortal, keep him under your sword." Zhang Fann said as he landed and saw the Red Crystal Longsword s leaving bright red scars on Zhang Ling's throat.    

"I wonder why Junior Brother offended Sword Immortal, and why did you insist on taking my Junior Brother's life?"    

Although his appearance was different from his own impressions, that famous Red Crystal Longsword was really too impressive. Other than the White-Clothed Sword Immortal, it was impossible for there to be another figure like it.    

Hearing Zhang Fann's request once again, Ye Kai snorted coldly, and did not retract the sword in his hand.    

"Leave people behind?" Your junior apprentice-brother's unarmed swords and sabers met with my relatives, destroying the protective magical equipment I placed on her body, and even set up the Magic Formation s to kill me. I would like to ask, what kind of trash are the disciples that your Heavenly Master Dao have brought out?! "    

With that, the Red Crystal Longsword moved even further. The big pellet of Blood Bead continued flowing out from the point where the sword pierced into's throat. Ye Kai's dark green eyes were filled with terrifying killing intent.    

Hearing Ye Kai's words, Zhang Fann could not help but frown.    

During this period of time, in order to prepare for National War of Martial Arts, he had always been in the deepest area of the Heavenly Master Dao cultivating in seclusion, and he had never cared about the large and small matters within the Heavenly Master Dao.    

Just a moment ago, he had used a pure and solid Thunder Arts to break through his Peak of Elemental Core and successfully emerged from seclusion. He did not expect that the moment he emerged from seclusion, he would see his entire Inner Sect turned into scorched earth and his own junior brother was about to be killed by the Sword Immortal, so he had no choice but to use his soul to make a sound.    

"Is that true?"    

Zhang Fann turned his head, looked at Zhang Ling who was perspiring profusely, and said coldly.    

"No, Senior Brother!" He is the one who cultivates the Yin Arts and destroyed my Heavenly Master Dao sect, that's why I gathered all my disciples to set up a formation to deal with him! "    

"Bastard!"    

Pow!    

With a loud shout, Zhang Fann raised his right hand and sent Zhang Ling flying several meters away with a slap.    

Zhang Ling rolled on the ground a few times, then stood up, struggling to cover his bruised left cheek, an expression of disbelief.    

"Senior Brother, why did you hit me?" You should have hit him! His Inner Sect have been destroyed! "    

Hearing Zhang Ling's words, Zhang Fann could only sigh continuously in his heart.    

"Zhang Ling, Zhang Ling, it's not good for you to provoke someone, but you have to provoke a God of Slaughter. He's the general of the military, his Origin Returning Divine Strength is the strongest person in East Asia, one man against tens of thousands of people.    

Not to mention Zhang Ling, even Zhang Fann, who had just come out of seclusion, felt that he was far from being a match for Ye Kai now that he was standing in front of him.    

"Kneel down and apologize to Sword Immortal!"    

No matter what, Zhang Ling was his junior brother for many years, and his second senior brother too, so it was impossible for Zhang Fann to watch him be killed by Ye Kai for nothing.    

"Why do I have to admit my wrongs? Senior brother, why did you help an outsider and not me?" Zhang Ling's face revealed an unconvinced look, and said indignantly.    

Hearing Zhang Ling's words, Zhang Fann really wanted to slap him to death.    

What outsider? That was the captain of the Chinese Team s that were going to be used next!    

Zhang Ling stood up from the ground in pain and turned to look at Ye Kai. He wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand and held onto something as if he was hiding a secret. He said coldly: "You do have some skills in handling formations, but in terms of fighting alone, you might not be a match for me, Zhang Ling!"    

"If you win, I'll tell you where your sister's position is. If you lose, you can give me the qualification to participate in National War of Martial Arts, how about it?"    

Zhang Ling revealed a bitter smile, and started to negotiate with Ye Kai.    

Without waiting for Ye Kai to reply, Zhang Ling took this opportunity to dodge Ye Kai's spear and retreated several hundred meters back. He stepped on the empty air and barely stabilized his body.    

"Ha!"    

Zhang Ling just let out a sneer, the true essence technique on his body surged, his clothes suddenly exploded, on his chest, arms and back, all of these were engraved with Thunder Arts runes, releasing tyrannical thunderous Qi.    

When Zhang Fann saw this scene, his eyes widened in shock.    

Zhang Ling channeled some of his internal energy into the runes on his body, including his four limbs, head, and torso.    

Boom.    

Thunder and lightning exploded from his body, wrapping him within. The grass beneath his feet was completely scorched earth.    

Even Ye Kai frowned slightly when he felt the overbearing surge of mana from Zhang Ling's body. He looked at Zhang Ling whose body was wrapped in lightning.    

"Are you afraid, White-Clothed Sword Immortal?" Zhang Ling looked at Ye Kai and laughed. Between his teeth, released a blue and white electric light, which sounded like thunder.    

Ye Kai's blue eyes focused as he said indifferently, "Afraid? You are not worthy! "    

Even though he was holding onto the Red Crystal Longsword, an inch of it remained in his eyes, as a raging fire ignited in Ye Kai's hands. Everyone held their breath, only to hear Ye Kai's explosive shout that shattered the clouds.    

"Sword, come!"
