Chapter 769 The Great Perfection of the Palm Thunder Swamp
The people of Lingyun Town erupted in cheers.
This battle was truly exhilarating!
All the attacking fox demons were captured, and the sheer number of hostages made the remaining fox demons hesitant to act.
If they dare to cause any more trouble, it will be a fight to the death. Do they really think they can ignore the lives of these fox clan geniuses?
Therefore, the crisis in Lingyun Town has been temporarily resolved.
At least the remaining fox demons won't act so recklessly anymore. Even if they want revenge, they'll have to rescue these hostages first.
Of course, Jiang Yi also had some concerns.
She said from behind Ye Kang, "We really owe you a lot this time, but there are still experts among the fox demons at the Eight or Nine Luminaries level. These guys are only a hair's breadth away from Nirvana. If we force our way in..."
"No, the fox clan must have important matters to attend to. Revenge is just a pretext. Besides, with these hostages here, they probably won't come back."
Ye Kang pondered for a moment, then looked at the mountain behind him with some doubt.
There should still be fox demons in Lingyun Mountain.
Jiang Yi followed Ye Kang's gaze.
"What are you thinking?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I wonder, with the fox demons causing such a commotion, just how important is that mineral core to them?"
"Just ask and you'll know."
Jiang Yi walked to the array that imprisoned Hu Xiaoqi. The arrogant fox had already woken up, but its injuries were still serious.
Of course, for demons with strong regenerative abilities, such injuries would heal quickly.
Jiang Yi said sternly, "Speak! What exactly are you looking for at Lingyun Mountain!"
Hu Xiaoqi stared coldly at Jiang Yi and said with her demon soul, "What harm is there in telling you? Our fox clan has supernatural powers. By devouring the core of a mineral vein, we can help improve our bloodline and master secret techniques. So if you know what's good for you, you'd better release us now."
“Is there any connection between the two?”
Ye Kang stepped forward and said.
The fact that this guy admitted it so readily suggests he had something to rely on.
As expected, Hu Xiaoqi's eyes showed disdain: "We just came out to play and get some fresh air. There is someone else who is really looking for the mineral core. That person is my senior brother Hu Gang. He is a great fox demon of the Nine Luminaries. He just doesn't have time to deal with you. Once he finds the mineral core, will you dare to be so arrogant?"
Ye Kang nodded and then sealed the formation, so no matter how much Hu Xiaoqi insulted him, not a sound could be heard.
Ye Kang turned his head and said, "It seems the real crux of the matter lies here. That Hu Gang still hasn't found the ore core."
"I just hope he can find it a little later. As long as we can hold out until the Three Offices send reinforcements, we won't be a threat."
Jiang Yi sighed; she was helpless.
After all, there are priorities. In the past few days, there have been criminal cases all over Lingquan County, and the three prefectures have been extremely busy, which is why these fox demons were able to take advantage of the situation.
Ye Kang remained noncommittal; even if he knew where Hu Gang was, he had absolutely no interest in him.
After all, the system's task was to guard this place for seven days, and he didn't want any unforeseen complications.
Subsequently, Jiang Yi sealed the fox demons' cultivation and imprisoned them separately.
Ye Kang returned to the high pavilion, sat quietly in meditation, and used an array to monitor the edge of Lingyun Town.
What happened next actually put him at ease.
Six days passed, and Hu Gang really didn't come. The people of Lingyun Town enjoyed seven days of peace and were all grateful to Ye Kang.
On the last day, as the sun rose, Ye Kang heard the voice he had been waiting for.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Protect Lingyun Town]
[Task Reward: 1000000 Comprehension Points]
The system announced that a full million points of enlightenment had been credited to Ye Kang's account, bringing his remaining enlightenment back to a staggering 165 million!
He breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to pull through. The formation he had painstakingly set up hadn't even unleashed its power yet.
Whether it's bad luck or a problem with his treasure-hunting skills, Hu Gang hasn't found the ore core yet.
After a moment of thought, an idea suddenly came to Ye Kang's mind.
Since Hu Gang can't be found, why don't I give it a try?
According to Jiang Yi, the mineral core formed by this spirit copper mine is at least a Xuan-level heavenly treasure, which will definitely be of great benefit to her in building the Spirit Commerce Platform!
Once the idea appeared, it spread like wildfire, becoming uncontrollable.
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was a viable option. After all, he was no longer entirely powerless against a Nine Luminaries expert.
However, we need to be more cautious and at least improve our martial arts skills again.
Without hesitation, Ye Kang entered the Ink Jade Realm and stepped into the Thunder Swamp.
Now that I have enough comprehension, it's time to upgrade my Palm Thunder.
This lightning technique is of a higher martial arts grade than Purple Lightning and Azure Frost, and naturally costs more comprehension. But who can blame Ye Kang for having Thunder Swamp?
Comprehending the technique in the Thunder Swamp is like comprehending the Tyrant Whale Divine Fist in front of the Tyrant Whale Diagram; it saves a lot of effort.
He strode in, and there stood the same venerable and otherworldly Lei Zun, who looked at Ye Kang and nodded repeatedly.
"Good junior, talented and courageous!"
Ye Kang was too lazy to pay attention to him. This Thunder Venerable had probably split his divine sense into countless parts across countless Thunder Swamps. He seemed normal, but he always felt that the Thunder Venerable was a bit dim-witted.
He directly unleashed the Palm Thunder Swamp, and eleven thunder beast rhinoceroses charged out from his hand, immediately attracting the other thunder beasts within the Thunder Swamp.
This time, a full hundred rhinoceroses surged out from all directions, and lightning struck continuously, resembling a scene from hell.
Fortunately, Ye Kang possessed Purple Lightning and Azure Frost, granting him maximum lightning resistance.
A thought struck him as his own Thunder Beast collided with the group of wild Thunder Beasts, unleashing boundless electricity. At that moment, a glimmer of enlightenment seemed to flash within him.
Ye Kang seized the opportunity and activated the system.
"System, you have mastered the Palm Thunder Swamp technique!"
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, for consuming 600000 points of Enlightenment and successfully mastering the Palm Thunder Swamp technique to its highest level.]
As the enlightenment came, Ye Kang closed his eyes slightly and unconsciously focused his palms, instantly expanding the range of the Thunder Swamp to cover the surroundings.
The thunder beasts were enveloped by Ye Kang's aura, becoming dizzy and disoriented. They quickly transformed into a part of Ye Kang, merging into his palm.
Soon, the number of Thunder Beasts in Ye Kang's Thunder Swamp surged to one hundred!
The Thunder's strength has skyrocketed!
Ye Kang waved his hand casually, and the lightning spread out, turning the world in front of him into a blue world of lightning.
This is the terrifying aspect of thunder magic: its extreme destructive power. There is no other attack method in the world that is so purely violent.
After all, in legends, martial artists must undergo divine punishment by thunder to ascend to immortality, which shows how powerful thunder magic is.
Soon, Ye Kang finished absorbing the gains from this trip, and the Thunder Swamp in his palm was fully formed, along with his cultivation level becoming stable.
He was very satisfied, bowed to Venerable Lei, and then left the Ink Jade Realm, returning to the pavilion.
"This provides another layer of security. I wonder if we can even make it to Lingyun Mountain..."
Ye Kang gazed at the distant mountains, and without much hesitation, quickly made up his mind.
"Go! If the fox demon can go, why can't I!"
