Chapter 776 The Azure Sky Prince
Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then instantly flew into the mountains and arrived at the old nest where the golden light was beginning to shine.
Generally speaking, during each feeding time, the two strongest guys will try every means to steal the food. The academy has a way to deal with this; they only need to activate the formation to stop them.
But today, even after Ye Kang had finished feeding them, the two guys didn't come out to cause any trouble, not even barking twice.
This doesn't mean they've become docile; their ferocious nature can't be changed.
Ye Kang immediately realized there was a problem. He gripped the array talisman that allowed him to move freely and plunged into the lion's den.
Then, a terrifying blood-red aura rose from the cave, almost rushing towards him, causing Ye Kang to retreat without hesitation.
With all his might, Yuan Shen looked inside, and sure enough, inside the lion's den, the two ferocious beasts lay on the ground, covered in wounds and barely breathing.
The golden lion's mane was completely shaved off, turning it into a bald lion. The snow sheep had a long, sharp gash on its belly, with blood seeping all over the ground, and it was almost bleeding to death.
Ye Kang's pupils dilated in shock. What could possibly have injured these two peak-level Star Luo beasts so badly?
The next second, a blood-red shadow flashed in front of them, like a crimson meteor streaking across the sky, its intensity intense in an instant.
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Kang took out the Azure Blade and slashed back.
True energy flowed into the blade, and with Ye Kang's immense strength, the Azure Blade erupted with blue light, displaying its divine power!
Then, the blade and the blood shadow collided, and with a crack, the blue light of the Azure Blade split into two pieces in the blood-red smoke. The front piece shot out cleanly and neatly, embedding itself in the cave wall.
The Azure Sky Blade was severed in one strike!
"How can it be!"
Ye Kang felt a chill run down his spine and crushed the array talisman in his hand.
In the final instant of the teleportation, Ye Kang finally saw the full appearance of the blood-red figure.
It was a bright green praying mantis!
Though less than half the size of a human, its raised scythe seemed like the sharpest blade in the world, easily slicing through everything.
Swish it!
Ye Kang appeared at the foot of the mountain, his face covered in cold sweat.
This is the defensive formation of Biluo Mountain, specifically designed to target ferocious beasts for safety.
Ye Kang originally thought these formations were unnecessary, but only today, with his life hanging by a thread, did he realize how necessary they were.
Just a moment ago, the mantis almost struck him with its scythe, and he probably wouldn't have had time to react.
Yes, I couldn't react at all.
With its extreme speed and sharpness, this mantis is a top-tier killer that surpasses all other attributes in every aspect.
No wonder the Suanni and the Snow Sheep were in such a sorry state; they were thoroughly tortured!
What's even more terrifying is that Ye Kang could clearly sense that the mantis didn't possess the aura of Nirvana, but rather, like the Suanni, belonged to the peak of the Star Luo realm.
It's absurd that people with the same cultivation level could have such a huge difference in combat power.
Ye Kang had no doubt that even Hu Gang, if he encountered this guy unprepared, would most likely be instantly killed.
The most crucial question now is: where did this guy come from?
How could they suddenly appear at Biluo Mountain!
He immediately found several old men who were already asleep.
"Old Fan! Old Peng! Something terrible has happened!"
"Why are you panicking?"
After the teachers left the room, Ye Kang immediately recounted what had just happened.
After listening, the teachers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Mantis?"
"Ye Kang, are you sure the Suanni and the Snow Sheep are both in trouble?"
"I'm sure! They're already seriously injured; if we don't help now, it'll be too late!"
Old Fan and Old Peng exchanged a glance, and the former then said in a low voice, "This is a matter of great importance. The primary task is to capture that mantis as soon as possible to prevent other ferocious beasts from losing their lives. Ye Kang, are you willing to accept this task?"
"Huh? Me? I almost got chopped up!" Ye Kang was dumbfounded. What was wrong with these old men? Didn't they see his miserable state?
Old Master Fan sighed: "This happened while you were on duty. If the academy is alerted, you will bear full responsibility, and you might even be expelled from the academy..."
"what!"
Ye Kang's face darkened. How could he be blamed for this?
You're blatantly shifting the blame! You're not even bothering to pretend anymore!
Old Peng said thoughtfully, "According to your description, that mantis is very likely an extremely rare fighting beast called Biluo Langjun. Its juvenile form possesses peak Star Luo cultivation, and its adult form undergoes Nirvana. The king among them can even reach the Returning to Truth Realm."
Old Master Fan nodded and said, "By the way, Lord Biluo has another identity, it seems to be the undefeated fighting god in the Starry Sky Arena?"
Ye Kang's eyes immediately lit up as he identified the keyword: insect fighting!
It's still a very strong fighting insect!
By the way, that guy can almost instantly kill a ferocious beast at the peak of the Star Luo realm, so what is a mere insect fighting arena?
If we could subdue it, wouldn't we be able to directly advance to the Star Luo Bureau of the Insect Fighting Arena?
That's more profitable than Jin Lingfeng's sword, halberd, and sandbag!
Old Fan continued, "Never mind, since Ye Kang can't handle it, let's report it and have the dean take the bug away."
"and many more!"
Ye Kang quickly reached out his hand: "How about I try first?"
"Didn't you say you couldn't beat them?"
"That was when we were completely unprepared. Now that we know its identity, things are different."
Ye Kang gritted his teeth, a hint of greed rising in his heart.
Insect fighting is great, insect fighting is a must...
at the same time.
Above the dark night sky.
Su Hongxiu said coldly, "You've gone too far this time. At least discuss it with me first."
Beside her stood a refined middle-aged scholar with his hands behind his back, and smiled, "Aren't we discussing this with you right now?"
"Is this what you call discussion? We've already put the bugs in; what if something happens to Ye Kang?"
The scholar shook his head: "Of course not, I'm watching."
"You'd better keep watching. Now, tell me, what do you really want?"
Su Hongxiu's face turned cold, and she turned her head and snorted coldly.
The scholar's lips curled slightly: "Let's test its quality. It's like a rough jade; it needs polishing to become valuable."
"Father! Haven't I been working on him all along?"
Su Hongxiu suddenly started to act coquettishly.
It turns out that this middle-aged scholar was actually Su Hongxiu's father, and of course, his other identity was even more widely known.
Su Zhongjing, Commander-in-Chief of the Three Prefectures of Lingquan County.
He was the one who personally selected Ye Kang to enter the academy, the strongest fighter in Lingquan County.
At this moment, he was watching Ye Kang's reaction with great interest.
"This is the first time I've seen this guy, and he's becoming more and more surprising."
Su Hongxiu glanced at him sideways and said, "Haven't you always thought highly of him? What's so surprising?"
Su Zhongjing smiled wryly: "Who said that? Why do you all look at me like that? How could I possibly think highly of an ordinary sandman I've never even met? I only gave him a chance because he was recommended by the Crown Prince. But surprisingly, this kid actually seized the opportunity."
A hint of appreciation flashed in Su Zhongjing's eyes.
Whether it was by chance or to curry favor with the prince, his ability to seize the opportunity is commendable. In that case, why not give him a real chance?
