Chapter 282 Fighting the Gu Master
into the night.
A biting wind howled, and lanterns swayed in the street.
With the doors and windows tightly shut, one of the innkeepers suddenly opened his door. The innkeeper, dressed in his pajamas, pushed the door open with a look of terror on his face, his body trembling uncontrollably.
His body wouldn't obey him!
That's right, he was the shopkeeper who inhaled the bacteria powder. He had just fallen asleep when he felt a sharp pain all over his body. Then, his body stood up on its own and he shakily opened the door.
Completely out of control!
It's haunted!
The shopkeeper tried to call for help, but his throat felt like it was blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
When he came out, he found that the street was already full of people like him.
They looked at each other and could see the extreme fear in each other's eyes.
Everyone swayed like puppets as they headed toward the largest inn.
At this moment, inside the princess's bedroom, Ye Kang opened the window and looked at the strange scene on the street, repeatedly exclaiming in astonishment.
Yun Jinxi also sighed, and then her face turned pale.
"It's like a parade of a hundred ghosts! What kind of technique is this?!"
Old Wu behind him said coldly, "Southern Xinjiang Gu techniques. These people were already afflicted with Gu before we arrived, and now they are controlled by Gu masters to attack us."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Kang and said, "Fortunately, Lord Ye reminded us, otherwise we might have fallen into the same trap..."
That's right. Now that Ye Kang has discovered something is wrong, he certainly won't let Yun Jinxi fall for it.
He had already used his senses to warn everyone not to get any water, to ensure that they would not be infected by the Gu worms.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be these ordinary people being controlled now.
Ye Kang said calmly, "They are also afraid of being discovered, so they only dare to put Gu in the food and dare not spread Gu worms directly. But they are really cautious. A full 15 ninth-rank Gu worms are so careful."
"Snatched!? 15 of them!"
Yun Jinxi was dumbfounded; he had never seen so many ninth-rank experts appear at the same time in his entire life.
Old Wu trembled: "How could this be! His Highness has never had any enmity with the Gu people of Southern Xinjiang, so why would he send so many experts!"
"Well, you'll have to ask them."
Ye Kang opened the window, kicked out, and flew to the top floor of the inn.
At the same time, countless flying insects swarmed in from all directions.
Ye Kang swept his true energy and crushed them all.
He sat on the roof and said loudly, "Come out, all of you. Hiding like this is beneath your dignity."
But no one responded.
Ye Kang didn't bother to say anything more to them. With a light tap of his toes, he used the Six Void Heavenly Steps to quickly flash out and instantly arrived at a house.
An elderly man at the ninth level of the middle realm was still controlling the Gu worms and was kicked away by Ye Kang before he could react.
This kick was powerful and heavy, with true energy carrying the immense strength of the body. It shattered the old man's entire chest, turning his heart into a bloody mist that spilled onto the wet street.
This scene immediately stunned the Gu Masters hiding in the shadows.
"How did he see through our concealment methods!"
One person cried out in surprise.
The next second, his mouth was suddenly filled with a fist that went straight through him, and his head was smashed into several pieces by the punch.
Ye Kang enveloped his hands with his true energy, so they didn't get dirty, but he still habitually shook them off and took a leisurely step forward.
The Six Void Steps moved like a ghost, arriving beside the third person in an instant.
The opponent seemed to have been prepared, waving his hand to release a layer of extremely large black Gu worms.
But Ye Kang ignored it, forcefully passing through the Gu worms and splitting the man's body in two with a single palm strike.
As for those Gu worms, when they landed on Ye Kang, they couldn't even bite through his skin and flesh.
With a sweep of true energy, they all died and fell.
In the blink of an eye, he killed three people, all of whom were at the ninth rank of the middle realm.
This horrifying scene immediately stunned the female merchant at the farthest point.
He roared, "Come back, all of you!"
Immediately, the seven dark figures rushed backward.
But it was too late. Ye Kang flew over with overwhelming speed, grabbed one person's head, and with a casual squeeze, the head exploded. He then slammed his hand into another person's heart, causing the physical strength to tremble slightly and shatter all the flesh.
The two beginner ninth-grade cultivators were so frightened that they immediately released their natal Gu worms in a desperate attempt to fight back.
But before they could even get close, Ye Kang easily shattered the two Gu worms with a single punch. The backlash caused the two men to vomit blood. Then, with a thought, Ye Kang unleashed his Hundred Flowers Sword Qi, which sliced through the grass and lifted up the two heads.
At this moment, the remaining men had already gathered around the female merchant.
She looked around and, good heavens, seven of them had been killed in the blink of an eye!
Five of them are at the ninth rank of the middle realm!
The female merchant felt her heart was bleeding; these were all experts whom the Grand Elder had painstakingly trained!
She was both surprised and angry, and then the group joined forces, simultaneously unleashing a burst of mist at Ye Kang's figure.
In an instant, tens of thousands of Gu worms flew towards Ye Kang simultaneously from both inside and outside the town, in the invisible air.
These little guys are incredibly fast and they cover everything, leaving no gaps whatsoever.
The female merchant sneered, "The Gu formation is complete, and these are all cold Gu that we carefully selected, possessing the characteristic of being resistant to cold. No matter how strong they are, they will still be pierced by the myriad Gu and become nourishment."
The sound wasn't loud, but Ye Kang listened carefully.
He grinned: "Not afraid of the cold?"
That would be interesting.
At this moment, tens of thousands of Gu worms flew into Ye Kang's body at the same time, completely enveloping him.
Yun Jinxi and Old Wu in the inn were dumbfounded.
"So many Gu worms! Lord Ye, retreat quickly!"
"That's too late."
The female merchant gave a wicked laugh, and the next second, a burst of flame shot into the sky.
Amidst the shocked gazes of these Gu Masters, Ye Kang's body erupted in flames, instantly burning away all the Gu worms inside and outside his body.
Those Gu worms with special abilities that could burrow into Ye Kang's body suffered the most grievous fate; a sweep of terrifying inner flames annihilated them all.
"Indeed, it is not afraid of the cold, but unfortunately it is afraid of fire."
Ye Kang smiled easily, his true energy trembled slightly, and he cleaned himself up.
These Gu worms are indeed powerful; ordinary flames might not be able to eradicate them completely.
But Ye Kang used Huo Yuanpeng's natal demonic fire, so how could a mere Gu worm withstand it?
The situation, which had just begun to improve, was immediately reversed, leaving the Gu Masters completely dumbfounded.
The female merchant gritted her teeth and shouted, "Attack together! Don't hold back!"
"Anxious?"
Ye Kang shook his head, unleashed the Six Void Heavenly Steps, and held the Azure Sky Blade horizontally in his hand. He swiftly cleaved one person in half at the waist. A ninth-grade Extreme Realm cultivator seized the opportunity to strike out with a palm, the palm force containing a killing Gu worm. Anyone who clashed palms with him would surely be hit.
But Ye Kang wasn't afraid at all. He threw a punch, and the opponent's entire arm exploded instantly. As for the Gu worm, it was long gone and no one knew what it was broken into.
A scream rang out, and countless pink sword energies emerged, shooting out and riddling the man with holes.
At this moment, the female merchant fell completely silent.
She couldn't understand how there could be such a big difference between the two ninth-rank officials.
"Watch out, big sister!"
Suddenly, a figure shoved her aside, and the person who saved her was cleaved in two from top to bottom with a single blow.
Ye Kang stood holding a knife, blood dripping from the tip.
He smiled and said, "Don't get distracted."
