Chapter 1337: You Need to Calm Down
Beside Xiao Kang, two swirling masses of Yin Qi violently churned, and within them, incubating, were his two Soul Armaments.
However, at this moment, Xiao Kang hadn't employed either of his Soul Armaments. It wasn't that he was reluctant to use them, nor was it that he feared killing Ye Zhiqiu with them; rather, in his towering rage, the thought simply hadn't occurred to him.
His emotions had completely shattered. In such a state, he only wanted to vent the myriad negative feelings within him through the most direct, simple, and violent means possible. Thus, he instinctively chose his fists over activating his Soul Armaments.
Even without resorting to his Soul Armaments, merely throwing a punch like a brute, this strike was not to be underestimated. A single blow shattered the sound barrier, and its trajectory caused even space itself to tremble, clearly demonstrating the immense power behind it.
Yet, a punch so formidable and so swift was effortlessly parried by Ye Zhiqiu's single palm.
Boom! ! !
Xiao Kang's punch slammed into Ye Zhiqiu's palm, the powerful force creating a gust of wind that whipped Ye Zhiqiu's long hair upwards and made his trench coat flap wildly. Yet, it failed to budge Ye Zhiqiu's body in the slightest. Instead, Xiao Kang suffered the rebound of the force, letting out a pained grunt.
Originally, Ye Zhiqiu had held a sword in one hand and a wine pot in the other. But the instant Xiao Kang vanished from his spot, the wine pot in Ye Zhiqiu's hand immediately disappeared, stored away in his personal space. He understood then that Xiao Kang was surely about to attack him, and being bound by orders not to kill Xiao Kang, he had no intention of using his sword to counter Xiao Kang's strike.
Fists collided with palm, and the tempestuous Spirit Power fiercely clashed with the profound Star Spirit Power. The collision of these two energies not only erupted in a thunderous roar but also unleashed a violent shockwave. The ground beneath them was torn up in a thick layer, and a shallow but sizable crater appeared beneath their feet.
Boom! ! !
Before the great roar subsided, another muffled crash followed. Xiao Kang's villa, unable to withstand the powerful shockwave, collapsed with a thud. This villa, which Xiao Kang had meticulously designed and only recently completed, met its end in this moment, much like Xiao Kang's current concept of "home."
“I watched you grow up. I know exactly how capable you are. You’re no match for me,” Ye Zhiqiu said, shaking his head with a helpless expression.
As he spoke, Ye Zhiqiu’s palm, which had been blocking Xiao Kang’s fist, tightened, his fingers encasing Xiao Kang's fist. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he directly flung Xiao Kang away, sending him crashing into the collapsed villa.
Boom! ! !
The powerful impact sent Xiao Kang deep into the villa's ruins, kicking up a massive cloud of dust and debris.
His physical body had violently smashed into the villa's ruins. This scene might have looked brutal, but Ye Zhiqiu knew very well that, with Xiao Kang’s strength, this level of damage was negligible. He had merely flung Xiao Kang away without exerting too much force, so it wouldn't cause significant harm to Xiao Kang’s physical body; at most, he would sustain minor injuries. After all, Xiao Kang’s body was still protected by a layer of protective Yin Qi, making this kind of impact very limited in its damage to his physical form.
“You have completely lost your reason now. In my opinion, this is not a good thing, because in this state, you act without thinking at all, and that will only accelerate your path to destruction. You need to calm down. ”
Ye Zhiqiu gazed at the villa ruins and spoke with a wistful expression. Although Xiao Kang was buried deep within the debris, completely out of sight, Ye Zhiqiu could sense Xiao Kang's current location through the fluctuations of his power and his aura. Naturally, his words at this moment were intended for Xiao Kang, buried beneath the ruins.
Ye Zhiqiu knew that, with Xiao Kang's strength, even buried deep under the ruins, Xiao Kang would be able to hear every single word he uttered.
Boom! ! !
A sudden explosion ripped through a section of the villa ruins, and a figure shot out from beneath the debris. This person, enveloped in swirling, dense Yin Qi, was none other than Xiao Kang.
Just as Ye Zhiqiu had surmised, Xiao Kang hadn't sustained significant injury from the previous impact. He bore no wounds, nor had the fluctuations of his power diminished, both serving as the clearest proof.
However, his emotions hadn't improved due to the impact; he remained in a furious rage. Thus, after bursting out of the ruins, he didn't hesitate for an instant, lunging at Ye Zhiqiu once more. He still refrained from using his Soul Armaments, opting for the most primitive and violent means of attack, just as before.
This time, however, Ye Zhiqiu didn't allow him to get close. With a flick of his sword, a green wall of light suddenly appeared before Xiao Kang, blocking his path. Xiao Kang, moving at high speed, crashed directly into this green barrier.
Boom! ! !
The wall of light shuddered violently. Xiao Kang, driven by his furious speed, not only moved swiftly but also generated an equally formidable impact force. Thus, when his body slammed into the light wall, it caused the barrier to vibrate intensely.
Nevertheless, this suddenly materialized green wall of light only vibrated violently; it did not shatter under his impact. This outcome occurred because there was a considerable gap in strength between Xiao Kang and Ye Zhiqiu. Although Ye Zhiqiu’s sword stroke seemed casual, he had in fact channeled a significant amount of Star Spirit Power, otherwise, an ordinary wall of light would have been incapable of withstanding Xiao Kang’s assault.
Blocked by the green wall of light, Xiao Kang, who had completely lost his rationality, didn't even think. He simply swung his fists, unleashing a torrent of fierce blows against the green light wall. Fist after fist, enveloped in Spirit Power, hammered against the barrier, using the relentless assault to vent the myriad negative emotions raging within him.
Ye Zhiqiu watched the berserk Xiao Kang, shaking his head again with a look of profound sorrow, then swung his sword, cleaving a rift in space.
With the spatial rift formed, Ye Zhiqiu stepped into it, then turned to look at Xiao Kang once more.
Under the relentless assault of Xiao Kang’s fists, the green wall of light became precarious, appearing on the verge of collapse. Ye Zhiqiu observed this scene but paid it no mind, instead offering Xiao Kang a final warning.
“I know you need time to calm down right now, and if I stay here, you won’t be able to. So, I’m choosing to leave to give you that time. However, you won’t have much of it. He will soon realize that I didn’t kill you and will undoubtedly send others to eliminate you root and branch. Therefore, I sincerely hope you heed Uncle Ye’s advice: don't let madness consume your reason any longer. Leave this place quickly, the farther the better, the faster the better. You. . . take care of yourself. ”
After Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, the spatial rift rapidly healed. The instant the rift completely closed, the green wall of light that had been blocking Xiao Kang, unable to withstand his relentless assault any longer, shattered with a crash.
With the green wall of light shattered, Xiao Kang, like a maddened beast, charged towards the healing spatial rift. The outcome was predictable: he lunged into empty air, for the rift had fully sealed the very moment the green wall disintegrated.
“Ah! ! ! ”
A heart-wrenching roar erupted from Xiao Kang’s throat once more, a cry like rolling thunder that echoed throughout Honghai City!
One spatial rift after another appeared in the vicinity of Xiao Kang’s villa. These individuals were the experts of Honghai City, and also Xiao Kang’s subordinates. When Xiao Kang had just concluded his meeting, they had seen him immediately tear open space and depart, and at that moment, they knew something significant must have happened.
With just a slight perception, they realized the problem lay at Xiao Kang’s villa. However, they hesitated then because Xiao Kang’s villa strictly prohibited outsiders from approaching. Thus, they didn't immediately tear open space and rush to the villa.
After a brief discussion, they concluded that since there was a reason for the incident, they shouldn't rigidly adhere to Xiao Kang's rules. They decided to first head to Xiao Kang's villa to assess the situation, believing that since they were acting out of good intentions, Xiao Kang wouldn't blame them.
And so, one after another, they tore through space and hurried to Xiao Kang's villa. But when they arrived and saw the villa reduced to ruins, and Xiao Kang roaring madly, every single one of them was stunned without exception. Although none of them understood exactly what had transpired there, they knew in their hearts that this matter was certainly far more complex and difficult to handle than they had imagined!
