Chapter 208 Jingyue River
A shrill scream rang out as the Crimson Demon rolled around in the large bowl, bleeding from his seven orifices, tearing at his own face in agony.
He had no way to escape the torment of the Buddhist chants, because Buddhist martial arts were the best counter to demonic arts, and his true energy had long been completely crushed by the endless Buddhist chants.
Ye Kang clasped his hands together and softly chanted, "Suppress!"
Boom, boom, boom!
The Buddhist chanting resonated in his ears, and the old demon Chiming finally couldn't hold on any longer. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
He was actually killed by the shockwave!
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Slay the Crimson Demon!]
[Host receives reward: Comprehension]
Ye Kang let out a long breath, and the Dharma image immediately dissipated.
However, the commotion was too great, and nearly half of Shuihua City has been destroyed, and the White Lotus Cult members who escaped earlier have also disappeared without a trace.
Ye Kang paid no attention, but slowly landed in front of the corpse of the Crimson Demon, sensed it for a moment, and found a blood-red treasure plant in his belt.
"The Nine-Star Immortal Grass, a top-grade healing plant, does contain some good stuff, but unfortunately you won't have the chance to use it."
Ye Kang placed the precious plant into the ancient black jade treasure. This was a valuable item; it couldn't be absorbed, but it could be saved in a critical moment.
As for martial arts manuals, unsurprisingly, there were none.
Even if it existed, Ye Kang wasn't interested in the Blood-Damaging Demon Art. It was too heinous and morally reprehensible; it would be best if it were lost forever.
At this moment, Gu Lingwei arrived at full speed with two horses.
"Ye! Are you alright?!"
"It's alright, it just consumes more internal energy."
"What kind of monster are you... You're clearly not a ninth-rank expert, yet you managed to kill a ninth-rank expert in the initial stage without taking any damage..."
"They have some advantage in terms of the restraint of cultivation techniques. Compared to that, the White Lotus Sect is a den of snakes and rats, accepting all kinds of people."
He coldly stepped over the corpse of the old demon Chi Ming. This kind of demon had killed countless innocent people in the Jinling area, and now he had slaughtered the entire city. It was too good for him to die now.
Ye Kang glanced at the attribute panel.
His comprehension returned, and sure enough, comprehension increased quickly in such chaos. Just for that reason, he couldn't miss this opportunity.
Unfortunately, I'm still 5000 points away from breaking through to the eighth level of the Imperial Ultimate Heaven-Reaching Technique, so I'll have to save it for now.
The two did not linger. Ye Kang retrieved the arrow he had shot, grabbed some food to fill his stomach, and continued their journey along the Fuchun River.
Ahead of them, the few White Lotus Cult members who had managed to escape had already fled swiftly to the next stronghold.
The one stationed there was also a junior leader at the peak of the eighth rank. Hearing that even the old demon Chi Ming had been killed by the attackers, this leader was so frightened that he was out of his wits and hurriedly led a person who knew the truth to flee to Qiantang City.
The White Lotus Sect was a rebel party, constantly on edge between encirclement and counter-encirclement, and its judgment of the situation was faster than anyone else's.
When they learn that their opponent is too strong, they will never fight head-on, but will instead seek out a stronger backer.
As a result, Ye Kang and Gu Lingwei's journey suddenly became incredibly smooth, and almost all the White Lotus Sect strongholds scattered and fled upon hearing the news.
Once these people are dispersed, even if Ye Kang has extraordinary abilities, it's impossible for him to find them all one by one.
soon.
It was noon again.
Beneath the walls of Qiantang City, the two powerful figures resumed their verbal sparring.
"Black Bat, you fiend, you only dare to talk big! Do you dare to fight this great hero one-on-one?"
"Old man Dugu, you really are a crude and ignorant martial artist. How could someone as simple-minded as you ever achieve the title of a great hero?"
"Hmph, what do you know? My master said I am pure and righteous, a born swordsman. I don't care about your seven orifices of exquisite beauty, I will cut you down with one sword!"
"You crude brute? You think you're worthy to kill me?"
The two exchanged insults without any restraint, to the point that both sides were thoroughly fed up with it.
For some reason, after the White Lotus Sect surrounded Qiantang City, they neither fought nor withdrew.
The imperial army, on the other hand, neither launched a counterattack nor attempted to break out.
As if by some unspoken agreement, the two sides remained frozen in place.
Therefore, apart from exchanging insults, the two of them basically never actually fought.
Just as the verbal battle was in full swing, a faint voice sounded in the ears of the Black Bat Protector.
"Something's happened. Yan Chongke is dead. That guy from the west is a bit troublesome."
Black Bat narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "This protector disdains to argue with a crude warrior like you."
Then he silently stepped back, and several people came forward to greet him.
"what happened?"
"Reporting to the Protector, this person is a survivor from Water Flower City. We will burn our life essence to rush back and send a message so that he can explain to the Protector."
The one who spoke was the peak eighth-rank leader, while the survivor was the one in Water Flower City who was furthest from Old Demon Chi Ming and also the one who escaped the fastest.
He began to speak, his voice trembling, and recounted what had happened in Water Flower City.
When describing the battle between Ye Kang and the Old Demon Chi Ming, the author embellished the story further, exaggerating it to the extreme.
The group of people listened in bewilderment, and naturally did not believe everything.
But one thing is certain.
That Qinglin Guard named Song Xian is no ordinary person.
He was actually able to fight and kill an old demon at the ninth level of the initial realm!
The Black Bat Protector's expression turned cold. He said, "The negotiations are still ongoing, and the Azure Scale Guards have arrived much faster than expected. This is troublesome."
The confidant beside him nodded and said, "Yes, Song Xian should be the vanguard. If those who come later are as brave as him, it may affect the vice leader's negotiations."
The group exchanged worried glances.
A moment later, Black Bat said, "I will go and ask the Vice Leader for instructions. You will order all the followers to avoid that Song Xian and let him come over."
"Yes!"
Black Bat quietly left, but of course, no matter how stealthy he was, he couldn't escape the eyes of the Lone Hero on the city wall.
But as long as the other party doesn't enter the city, it doesn't matter.
As long as I have a sword, I can cut down any tricks or schemes he may have!
Soon, the black bat arrived at a river outside Qiantang City.
This river is called Jingyue River, a branch of the Qiantang River. The Qiantang River flows into the sea, and so does Jingyue River, but the two are far less famous. People only know the Qiantang River and not Jingyue River.
But in the eyes of true masters, Jingyue River is a forbidden place that must never be set foot in.
Because this place is nestled in a beautiful mountain forest, where an ancient temple stands, its incense burning continuously.
What the world doesn't know is that this ancient temple, named Jingyuezhai, is actually a colossal entity hidden from the world.
At this moment, in a waterside pavilion on the Jingyue River.
Several people are drinking together.
If you look closely, you'll find that none of these people are below the ninth rank of the Extreme Realm!
There was even a woman in plain white dress whose aura surpassed that of these ninth-rank experts. She was as steady as a mountain, and no one dared to meet her gaze.
When Black Bat arrived, he felt a chill run down his spine and lowered his head in fear.
Upon seeing him approach, one of the men dressed in black and masked stepped forward.
"You bastard! Don't you know where you are?!"
Black Bat immediately knelt down: "Vice Master, please forgive me! There is a Green Scale Guard on the western front named Song Xian, who, along with a girl wielding a large spear, easily killed Yan Chongke and is already heading towards us! I am at a loss for what to do, please punish me, Vice Master!"
