Chapter 266 Still Needs to Get Stronger
【Ding】
[The Serpent's Shedding Immortal Robe has died once in place of the host; please weave a new immortal robe as soon as possible.]
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on your first successful kill of a demon from the Lotus Realm. You are rewarded with increased comprehension.]
[Demon Forge Notification: Huo Yuanpeng has been detected as a man-eating demon. Refine him/her?]
A series of system notifications appeared, but Ye Kang had no strength at all and could not push away the corpse of Huo Yuanpeng that was pressing down on him. He could only swallow a leaf of the Nine-Star Undying Grass with tears in his eyes and begin to recover.
Ye Kang still felt a little heartbroken that the Nine-Star Immortal Grass only had two leaves left and a complete rootstock.
But there was no other way; if he didn't recover soon, he would be crushed to death.
On the other side, atop the stone pillar.
The Thief King and Dai Huanhuan were completely petrified.
Their mouths are so wide open they could fit an ostrich egg.
"what happens!"
"How did it suddenly fall down!"
"Master...that big bird...it seems to be dead..."
"How is this possible! That's a Lotus Realm cultivator! A Grandmaster-level demon!"
The King of Thieves covered his head, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The main thing is that this scene was too sudden. He saw Ye Kang approach with the Skywalking Step, teleport with the Shadow Step, and then painstakingly cut off a bird's claw.
Next, Huo Yuanpeng went berserk and spewed fire. Logically speaking, Ye Kang should have been burned to death by now!
But Huo Yuanpeng suddenly died!
Ye Kang clearly did nothing, yet the other party suddenly died!
This guy is riding a horse!
The King of Thieves felt like a million alpacas were stampeding through his mind; he felt the world had changed, and he no longer recognized it.
Dai Huanhuan suddenly realized: "Quick, go help! Lord Ye, are you sure you didn't fall and die?!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Save them!"
The Thief King then remembered something and quickly took Dai Huanhuan with him, rushing down to Huo Yuanpeng's corpse.
He examined him carefully and confirmed that Huo Yuanpeng had completely lost his life force and was a corpse.
Although he didn't know how Ye Kang did it, the facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe it.
Just as he was about to move the body, swish!
A flash of light appeared, and the huge bird carcass vanished, revealing the ground burned to ashes and Ye Kang, his body completely blackened like charcoal.
Ye Kangping lay on the ground, his clothes completely gone. If it weren't for his strong physique, he would have been melted by Huo Yuanpeng's flames long ago.
Even so, he felt a lot of pain. Fortunately, the Nine-Star Immortal Grass was very effective and quickly restored some of his true energy, preventing him from fainting.
He had just summoned the Demon Furnace, taken Huo Yuanpeng inside, and started refining it. However, the demons in the Lotus Realm were too powerful, and this refining process would actually take a month.
While Ye Kang was still in a daze, Dai Huanhuan had already taken off her cloak and draped it over him.
"Are you OK?"
Ye Kang shook his head: "Do I look like I'm fine?"
“Indeed, what can we do then! This place is dangerous, and you're injured like this. What if that beast's relatives and friends come to seek revenge…”
“That’s right, so let’s hurry up and leave. Senior Thief King, do me a favor and go find the remains of those three unlucky guys to see if there are any treasure plants.”
Ye Kang frowned as he spoke, examining his ancient black jade treasure.
He does have healing plants, but they're not what he wants.
He needed the body-tempering plant. The burning just now, and the life-or-death crisis, had inadvertently tempered his body. If he had the plant's assistance now, he might be able to advance even further.
Upon hearing this, the King of Thieves suppressed his curiosity and quickly went to touch the corpse.
Dai Huanhuan then fed Ye Kang some water.
She asked in astonishment, "How did you do that? And what about the demon's corpse?"
"It was just luck. I've put the corpse into my storage space. Don't worry, now that I've killed Huo Yuanpeng, I can definitely cure your congenital defect."
Ye Kang smiled and began to circulate his internal energy, trying his best to recover from his injuries.
Upon hearing this, Dai Huanhuan became emotional, and tears welled up in her eyes.
It's not just because a long-standing emotional burden has finally been resolved, but more so because of the profound sense of gratitude.
It turns out that besides the old man, there are others who would risk everything for you...
"Don't overthink it. I'm not doing this entirely for you. I'll also benefit from taking this demon's corpse."
Ye Kang noticed that Dai Huanhuan was acting strangely and quickly reminded her.
Dai Huanhuan said "Oh," but she was not paying attention.
It's just a corpse, what good could it possibly do...?
Dai Huanhuan ignored Ye Kang's explanation and started to fill in the blanks in her own mind.
At this moment, the Thief King also ran back, leaving behind two secret manuals and three precious plants, including the Earth Spirit Flower.
"It's all here; the rest has been destroyed."
Ye Kang didn't say much. He picked up one of the body-tempering plants and ate it directly. Then he put the other two plants into the Ink Jade Ancient Treasure.
The treasure was implanted into his stomach, and the Dragon Demon Blood Forging Technique automatically activated, causing his injuries to begin to heal rapidly under the medicinal power of the treasure.
Moreover, after being tempered by the flames, the newly formed flesh and blood are significantly more refined and powerful than before.
Before long, Ye Kang had skillfully absorbed the demonic power of the precious plant, and a layer of dead skin had shed from his body.
After being cleansed by his inner energy, Ye Kang returned to normal, and Dai Huanhuan quickly turned her head away and stopped looking.
"This place is not safe to stay any longer; let's leave immediately."
As Ye Kang changed into his black robe, he carefully observed the surrounding movements.
Attracted by Huo Yuanpeng's flesh and blood, the nearby demons were all stirring, seemingly vying for a new king.
Ye Kang always felt that Huo Yuanpeng was not so simple and that there must be a force behind him. He had killed their demons and had already made a blood feud. If he didn't run away now, when would he?
He looked at the King of Thieves: "The corpses of the Three Heroes of the East Sea?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. I've destroyed everything completely, so no one will be able to tell my identity."
"Very good."
The three of them did not linger any longer and immediately flew out of the Tiannan Valley at full speed. As night fell, they rode back to Qiantang without stopping for a moment.
Ye Kang's injuries had not yet healed, but he couldn't care less about that now. Qiantang City was the safest place at the moment, and they wouldn't be coming to the south again for a long time to come.
On the way, Ye Kang took the opportunity to summarize the demon-slaying mission.
It can be summed up in four words: clean and efficient.
If he had even the slightest thought of holding back his trump cards, he would have been doomed this time.
The strength of the Lotus Realm cultivator far exceeded his expectations; whether in speed, power, or supernatural abilities, they all overwhelmed him.
The only thing that comes close is physical strength, but that can only last for a short while; they're not even in the same league.
The thought that there were many such powerful individuals in the world caused Ye Kang's sense of crisis to explode.
What if such a powerful guy wants to change my organization? Do I have any recourse?
The answer is yes.
No!
We must continue to grow stronger! Strong enough that no one can threaten our organizational structure!
