Chapter 204 Killing the Helmsman
Chapter 204 Killing the Helmsman
On the fifth peak, figures in black darted out, their killing intent filling the air and startling countless birds and beasts.
At the summit, a tall, thin man dressed in simple clothes slowly stood up, frowning as he looked at Ye Kang.
This man had a refined and scholarly air about him, like a wandering Taoist priest who roamed the martial arts world. His cloth bag was full of copper coins, which jingled as they swayed.
When Ye Kang saw him, he felt that he looked a lot like someone.
The commoner gentleman who was killed in Mengzhou.
The two were dressed almost identically, but the aura of the person in front of him was more than ten times stronger than that of the man in plain clothes.
Ye Kang stood in mid-air and said, "Qinglin Guard, Song Xian."
The leader of the helm at the summit narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Interesting. The Azure Scale Guards arrived so quickly, which is beyond my expectations."
Ye Kang also smiled and asked, "How did you anticipate this?"
"I originally thought that the Azure Scale Guards would not arrive at Fifth Peak until noon tomorrow at the earliest, but I didn't expect them to arrive now. Could it be that someone leaked the news?"
"Perhaps it's just because you're too clever for your own good and don't know how powerful the imperial court is."
Ye Kang made a sarcastic remark without any politeness. A cold glint flashed in the leader's eyes, and two more copper coins instantly flew out of his hand, heading straight for Ye Kang's heart.
Two bangs!
Ye Kang casually pinched the two copper coins, which were caught steadily. With his current physical body, the mere copper coins could not break through his defenses at all.
The leader asked in confusion, "Song Xian? When did the Azure Scale Guard ever have someone like you?"
"Now that I have it, since you've asked so many questions, why don't I ask one as well?"
"please."
"The instigator of the rebellion in the martial arts world of Mengzhou in the past, Mr. Buyi, is dressed quite similarly to you. You should be familiar with him, right?"
Sure enough, upon hearing the name of Mr. Buyi, the leader's face darkened, and he said sternly, "How dare you! You dare to compare me to a mere outer disciple? He is nothing more than a pawn sent by the sect leader to stir up trouble. How can he be compared to me!"
"Stir up trouble? Send them to their deaths. Your leader is truly ruthless."
"Shut up! How dare you insult my leader!"
The leader was utterly enraged and slammed his palm down. The enormous white lotus above his head unleashed its true energy, and endless evil swept across the eight directions, its power covering the entire mountain forest.
"The Supreme Yin-Yang Reversal White Lotus Technique, it's that evil art again."
Memories flooded back, and Ye Kang's expression finally turned serious. This evil technique was extremely strange; when it erupted, its power was no weaker than the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique.
However, it was precisely because of the restraint of the Imperial True Qi that he was able to survive Mr. Buyi's attack.
Now that the roles of offense and defense have reversed, Ye Kang wants to test the limits of this evil skill.
"Well done!"
He roared, unleashing his Imperial True Qi, which formed a gigantic fist shadow that clashed with Bai Lian's palm. In an instant, the mountains and forests roared, and gold and white filled the five peaks.
A moment later, the white lotus weakened, and the helmsman was knocked down by a punch. Ye Kang seized the opportunity, stepped out with Shadow Step, and launched a flying kick. The Imperial True Qi formed a domineering divine spear, which pierced straight into the white lotus.
"court death!"
The leader steadied himself, purple evil energy emanating from his eyes. The white lotus Dharma image instantly enlarged, its petals opening and emitting rings of purple evil energy, forming a circular shield.
Ye Kang kicked out, and the gun and shield clashed. The leader also took the opportunity to throw out dozens of copper coins, with even greater force than before, and covered with purple evil energy, making them extremely sharp.
Ye Kang did not block directly, but instead drew his Azure Sky Blade and cleaved all the copper coins in two. At the same time, his Imperial True Qi erupted, completely enveloping the entire white lotus.
"what!"
The captain was dumbfounded.
His Supreme Yin-Yang Reversal White Lotus Skill is the sect leader's sacred technique, invincible and capable of suppressing all martial arts. How could he be countered instead!
Ye Kang finally confirmed this.
This evil technique is still very powerful, definitely a top-tier innate martial art. It's just a pity that it is naturally countered by the Imperial True Qi, which greatly reduces its power.
Even so, this person's strength is terrifying, far surpassing the likes of Xiao Yuankui. Even if Tianying Town were to guard him, it would probably be difficult for them to take him down in a short time.
Any one of the branch leaders has the strength of a garrison commander. No wonder the White Lotus Sect dared to launch a sudden attack. They were indeed confident that they could hold off the first wave of reinforcements.
Unfortunately, he encountered himself.
Ye Kang no longer held back, using Shadow Step to flash out and directly appear behind the leader. At the same time, he unleashed a Chaos Strike punch, the immense force completely crushing the leader's body. The punch pierced through the leader's chest from the back to the front!
Even if you are at the peak of the eighth rank, even if your cultivation technique is powerful, you can be killed by Ye Kang with just one punch.
If it can't be killed instantly, then wouldn't the Jiaojun have absorbed it for nothing?
The Imperial True Qi continued to erupt, directly destroying the leader's meridians, driving away all his White Lotus Evil Qi, and forcefully crushing his dantian.
One strike, and it's all over.
Gu Lingwei, standing at the foot of the mountain, was stunned.
The other White Lotus followers on the mountain were also dumbfounded.
"The leader has been instantly killed! Retreat!"
"Experts! The Azure Scale Guards have sent experts! Quickly notify the others!"
Numerous shouts rang out, but Ye Kang paid no attention. He activated the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi and immediately dealt with most of the minions.
As for those who manage to escape, Gu Lingwei will also take action.
As Ye Kang sensed the leader's life force rapidly fading, he said coldly, "Tell me about the White Lotus Sect's plans, and I can let you live."
The leader was pale and completely powerless, and the white lotus dharma form collapsed immediately.
He said incredulously, "The Azure Scale Guard has no one named you! There must be none!"
"Does it matter? Do you want to die, or do you want to live?"
"Live? It seems you really aren't a member of the Azure Scale Guard. Someone like me has no choice but to live. You've been exposed... Kill me. If I die, you'll soon be buried with me."
"Oh? Why do you see it?"
"Because I practice the Great and Sacred Yin-Yang Reversal White Lotus Technique! The moment you defeated me, those who practiced the same technique as me knew of your existence, and they will spare no effort to kill you and avenge me!"
Click.
Without hesitation, Ye Kang's physical body trembled, shattering all of his life force.
【Ding】
[Slaying a peak Rank 8 expert will reward you with 3000 Comprehension Points]
"They're dead and they still try to scare people, a bunch of lunatics."
Ye Kang shook his head, then released his senses, and the Hundred Flowers Sword Finger moved at will, killing all the cultists.
All the comprehension points have been obtained, and the remaining comprehension points are now ten thousand.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Reclaim the Five Peaks]
[Host receives reward: Comprehension]
The mission rewards were also obtained, and enlightenment returned.
He reached out and groped around for a while, and this time he managed to find something.
A few ordinary martial arts manuals, a few bottles of poison, and a leader's token.
Ye Kang put the first two items into the Moyu Ancient Treasure, and then examined the Helmsman's Token.
It was about the same size as the one commanded by the Imperial City Commander, but the workmanship was rough, the material was neither wood nor jade, and it was semi-transparent, more like a lump of formed amber.
boom!
Suddenly, the token shattered into dust, and a wisp of evil energy shot out before dissipating into the world.
Ye Kang was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems he wasn't really trying to scare anyone..."
