Chapter 126 A powerful enemy attacks
At this point, there are still 26,000 comprehension points remaining, and there are no martial arts techniques that can be upgraded at the moment.
The Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Skill needs no further explanation; currently, it's extremely demanding on comprehension.
The Catfish Demon Suppressing Water Technique only requires comprehension to progress from minor to major mastery, but the demon blood crystals it consumes have increased from half a crystal to two, and it still cannot be upgraded.
The Shadow Step technique requires comprehension to progress from beginner to advanced levels, and one can only stare blankly at it.
As for other auxiliary martial arts, they are not worth considering at the moment.
After taking a look around, Ye Kang's initial joy was instantly dispelled, and he could only sigh helplessly.
"Alas, I'm poor. My comprehension and demonic abilities are simply insufficient."
Just as he was sighing, a cry of an eagle pierced the sky once again outside the bear den.
Ye Kang immediately flashed out, and sure enough, an arrow in the sky burst forth with tremendous spiritual light.
At this moment, Han Ying rushed over from a distance, her expression anxious, and shouted hoarsely, "Lord Ye! Assemble immediately!"
Seeing Han Ying's appearance, Ye Kang naturally knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly floated away.
"What happened?"
"Lord Ye, that was a messenger arrow from the Sky Eagle Garrison! He's telling us to retreat immediately! The farther the better!"
"what!"
Ye Kang glanced at the arrow again, and his mood immediately sank to the bottom.
"If it were just an ordinary enemy, the Sky Eagle Garrison wouldn't have issued such an order. Could it be that the Crimson Demon has arrived!"
"Impossible! The garrison commander and the Crimson Demon are at similar levels, there's no reason for him to escape. Besides, if it were the Crimson Demon, we wouldn't have any chance to escape. Anyway, there's no time to hesitate. I've already ordered all my men to disperse, let's retreat!"
Han Ying was impatient and dared not delay for even a moment.
Although Ye Kang didn't understand it, he was impressed. But for the Sky Eagle Town Guardian to issue such an order, it must be a major crisis. He decided to make a run for it!
The two immediately used their lightness skills and ran wildly down the mountain.
Just then, from the direction of Tiansun Mountain, a dark figure, accompanied by a black wind several dozen feet long, crossed over at an illogical speed.
The terrifying aura emanating from it was enough to make anyone who saw it realize the threat it posed. Ye Kang and Han Ying both felt a chill run down their spines, their hair stood on end, and they looked back in disbelief.
A man dressed entirely in black, draped in a black feathered robe, with only his two blood-red pupils visible, charged towards the two like a vengeful ghost, stepping on a cloud of black mist.
"No! Run!"
Han Ying shouted and turned around to see Ye Kang running at an incredible speed to the front, and still sprinting away.
Han Ying's lips turned blue with anger, but she didn't have time to complain. The fear emanating from the bottom of her heart made her choose another direction without hesitation.
They used every trick in the book without the slightest hesitation; if they didn't run, they would die!
She immediately recognized it just by sensing that aura.
This is an eighth-grade innate skill!
There is absolutely no chance of winning!
The person who came was naturally Yan Huan.
At this moment, he was filled with anger. He had almost been beaten to death by his father as a traitor. How could he be in a good mood?
He wanted to find that audacious bastard who dared to steal the demon seed right now and smash every bone in his body!
He looked around and took in many fleeing figures.
"They are all weak, so there is no possibility of them forcibly taking the demon seed. The only possibility is those two seventh-rank cultivators."
With his blood-red pupils fixed on Ye Kang, Yan Huan grinned, revealing a smile.
"The aura of blood loss on your body is so strong, you must be the one."
Ye Kang, feeling the gaze fixed on him, instantly sensed something was amiss and cursed inwardly.
Why did this guy have to target me of all people?!
Yan Huan couldn't detect the transformation of the Demon Furnace, but Ye Kang had killed three demon seeds, and his body was covered in their flesh and blood. In Yan Huan's eyes, this was simply overwhelming. Who else would he go after if not him?
And even if we find the wrong one, so what? As long as we kill everyone here, there's bound to be one who's right.
With a thought, Yan Huan's figure soared through the air, and with a wave of his right hand, he threw wisps of black mist toward the masked people fleeing below.
These masked men were mostly at the fifth or sixth rank of cultivation, so how could they possibly resist? They were swallowed up by the black mist in just a moment.
His flesh and blood were withered, his dantian was rotten, and his death was extremely gruesome.
Yan Huan pursued and killed most of the masked men in a short time, then flew towards Ye Kang.
The latter's expression hardened, and he quickly changed direction, heading towards the deeper mountains further away.
The Heavenly Loss Sect is located in the mountains, surrounded by countless large mountain ranges. With just a turn, one can enter another mountain system.
Ye Kang understood that escape was impossible, so he could only lure the guy to a secluded place before revealing his trump card.
While Ye Kang was scheming, he also personally experienced the difference between the seventh and eighth ranks for the first time.
If the leap from the fifth to the sixth rank is a step forward, and the leap from the sixth to the seventh rank is a great leap forward, then the leap between the seventh and eighth ranks is a true leap!
This is definitely not a gap that can be overcome by martial arts alone.
Even Ye Kang, who was invincible within the seventh rank, could personally feel that overwhelming and crushing power.
"Damn it! This time, I have no choice but to fight with my life on the line!"
Ye Kang gritted his teeth, and the system beeped.
【Ding】
[Mission issued: Kill Yan Huan]
[Task Reward: Comprehension]
"Woqu!"
Ye Kang was startled; the comprehension reward had reached a new high!
However, he couldn't be happy; such a high reward only meant that the difficulty was ridiculously high.
Sure enough, Yan Huan attacked from behind as soon as the system issued the task.
He flew through the air, and with a wave of his hands, several streams of black energy slammed towards Ye Kang.
With no other option, Ye Kang could only turn around and draw his sword, unleashing a torrent of fiery sword energy.
To deal with demonic martial artists, Ye Kang's most powerful method is to combine the Imperial True Qi with the Blazing Blade Qi. Both of them are effective against demonic martial arts, and when combined, they can unleash the power of a ranged martial art.
However, this sword energy failed to stop the surging black energy. Yan Huan sneered and activated his true energy, which made the black energy even thicker and headed straight for Ye Kang's heart!
"Damn it!"
Ye Kang swung his sword again, unleashing a raging barrage of fiery sword energy. After colliding with the black energy, Ye Kang was slammed into the mountain by the immense recoil.
Yan Huan stood in mid-air, pulled off his mask to reveal pale lips, and let out a chilling laugh.
"You do have some skills. No wonder you were able to kill my three junior brothers. I was wondering if they would have lost to anyone else."
Ye Kang landed on the ground, stood up in a disheveled state, and upon hearing this, frowned and shouted, "Who goes there! Why are you chasing me!"
Ye Kang knew he was Yan Huan, but he didn't know who Yan Huan was.
He didn't want to fight a battle that was unclear and ambiguous.
Yan Huan was honest enough; he extended his right hand, and a wisp of black energy rose from his palm.
While observing the black aura, he said in a low voice, "My name is Yan Huan. You may not have heard of me, but from tonight onwards, everyone will know this name. As for why I killed you, you little thief, wasn't it because you stole my father's demonic seed!"
