Chapter 480 Refining the Iron-Scaled Beast
Return to the training room.
The advisor didn't ask Yang Lie for more details. After instructing Ye Kang to be careful, he left.
Ye Kang was also very decisive. After setting up an array in the cultivation room, he took out the Ink Dragon Spear.
"Senior, let's go out and have a chat."
Ye Kang spoke softly, but there was no response.
He wasn't annoyed; with a thought, emerald flames burst forth and wrapped around the Ink Dragon Spear, following the flow of true energy.
The next second, a agonizing scream rang out.
"Spiritual Fire! You actually possess the Spiritual Fire of Heaven and Earth! How is this possible?!!"
A heart-wrenching roar rang out, and the artifact spirit Yang Lie, his entire body scorched by spiritual fire, rolled out in a sorry state.
The Azure Flame's main feature is its versatility; it can easily burn spiritual bodies without any problem.
Moreover, Ye Kang only let the Azure Flame scare him a little; he didn't actually use it. Otherwise, with the power of the spiritual fire, the already listless Yang Lie would have dissipated long ago.
Seeing that it was almost done roasting, Ye Kang slowly withdrew the Azure Flame.
"Senior, I guess you haven't given up on the idea of seizing my body, have you? Now you've seen it too, I have more trump cards than you imagined. With the spiritual fire, do you think that's still possible?"
Ye Kang grinned mischievously.
As expected, Yang Lie's eyes were filled with extreme resentment, and the last glimmer of hope in my heart was completely shattered.
With Azure Flame present, there's no way I could possibly take over its physical body!
"You are a terrifying junior. I have seen many geniuses and killed many, but none of them are as monstrous as you..."
"Thank you for the compliment. Now let's talk about the terms. Tell me about your cave dwelling, and once I've taken the treasures you left behind, I will naturally avenge you."
Ye Kang said nonchalantly.
Yang Lie trembled with rage. When had the arrogant Gun Demon ever suffered such an insult?
But Ye Kang was right about one thing.
That means he really wanted revenge.
"Fine, I'll tell you, but you have to promise me one thing first."
"Does this senior have the right to negotiate with me?"
"It's nothing serious, it won't affect your treasure hunt."
"explain."
"My entire family is still inside the cave; you mustn't harm them..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's expression turned strange.
"Everyone says that Yang Lie, the Gun Demon, is a maverick. I've never heard that you have any family?"
"Ha, when traveling the world, how can I deliberately expose my weaknesses? If the world doesn't know that I am a lone wolf, how can I feel at ease killing indiscriminately?"
Yang Lie gave a self-deprecating smile: "I was born in a cave-heaven ruin, a place where my clan sought refuge. No one knows this. I am the only one who travels outside. They do not yet know of my death, but once they do, my wife and daughter will likely suffer a great deal of blame."
Yang Lie sighed, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Ye Kang didn't say much, saying, "We should not delay. In eight days, we will set off for that cave-heaven ruin."
After saying that, without waiting for Yang Lie to have any questions, he directly put the Ink Dragon Spear back into the Ink Jade Ancient Treasure.
The reason for the eight-day wait is, of course, because the Demon Furnace is still in the refining process.
He won't go anywhere until the refining is complete.
……
Eight days passed in the blink of an eye.
Aside from cultivating and having meals with the Carp God, Ye Kang never went out.
Finally, at noon that day, the long-awaited system notification sounded.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on successfully refining the man-eating demon: Ironscale Clan Chief]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 5800 Demon Blood Crystals, 1 Demon Blood Core, and two large barrels of Demon Essence Blood from the Divine Sea Realm]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained 108 iron scales and one mutated beast tendon]
[Similarities were detected between the Ironscale Beast Clan's Body Refining Technique and the Catfish Demon's Water Suppression Technique; they are currently being integrated.]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the complete version of the Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique. After use, it can harden the ink patterns, making them resemble iron scales, greatly increasing defense and combat ability in water.]
[Congratulations, host, for successfully subduing the Ironscale Clan Chief after 2000 years of torture. Would you like to transform him into a Soul Spirit?]
This time, not much was refined, but Ye Kang was very satisfied.
First of all, his basic blood crystals far surpass those of Little Leopard King, no wonder he's an old guy who's upgraded to five pillars.
Secondly, I never expected that the Ironscale Beast and the Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique would be so compatible.
On the one hand, it greatly enhanced the power of the Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique; on the other hand, it also showed that Ye Kang could directly integrate the Iron Scale Clan Chief and the Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique into the next Heavenly Pillar.
Simply perfect!
"Transform the soul."
Without hesitation, Ye Kang chose to transform. Soon, the robust and steady humanoid Iron Scale Clan Chief slowly emerged and knelt before Ye Kang in his spirit form.
"Ironscale greets my lord!"
"Well, tell me, why did you try to kill me back then?"
“We dare not deceive our master. It was forced upon us by the Ninth Prince of the Nine Nether Palace. Our deep-sea races were unwilling to associate with those thugs of the Nine Nether Palace and had been feigning compliance. Who would have thought that the Ninth Prince would harbor the intention to exterminate us and would continue to slaughter our people. In order to protect our people, we had no choice but to accept his conditions. He said that as long as we could bring back our master’s head, our family would be safe.”
The Ironscale Clan Chief looked ashamed. He was now absolutely loyal to Ye Kang, and he felt extremely ashamed when he thought about what he had done before.
But Ye Kang sensed something was amiss.
"You mean, take my head? Just my head?"
After a moment of recollection, the Ironscale Clan Chief suddenly realized what was going on.
"Master is perceptive! Although the Ninth Prince said on the surface that he could bring back any human genius's head, he kept his eyes on you, clearly only wanting to take your life! Iron Scale deserves to die, for forgetting such an important clue!"
Tie Lin kowtowed deeply, his remorse growing even stronger.
Ye Kang waved his hand, a murderous intent rising in his heart.
Sure enough.
The Ninth Prince still remembers him.
The other party must have remembered the carp god from that encounter, which is why they wanted to take the opportunity to kill me so they could then target the carp god.
His eyes turned cold, and his hands clenched slightly.
"What a fine Ninth Prince..."
"Master! Iron Scales longs to immediately don armor and charge into battle for you! But Iron Scales, now in the form of a Soul Spirit, finds it truly difficult..."
Ye Kang smiled slightly upon hearing this: "No rush, you'll be able to help soon. Let's go somewhere and meet some friends first."
After saying that, he had a thought and Tie Lin entered the deduction space, believing that Qing Mian, You Ying and others would give him a proper introduction.
After finishing all that, Ye Kang went to find Qi Youshan without stopping.
Before setting sail, he needed to prepare various nautical charts and communication tools, and also replenish some Runyu Pills.
Qi Youshan seemed to know that Ye Kang was going out, so he handed him a storage bag that he had prepared in advance and transmitted his voice to him, saying, "The outside world is not like the sect. Be careful in everything. If all else fails, activate the sect decree in the storage bag. It will prove your identity and allow the sect to find you quickly."
Ye Kang felt a warmth in his heart and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Qi."
"No need. By the way, I heard you killed an Ironscale Beast and collected its corpse. I wonder about the scales and essence blood..."
"You really don't do things without a profit motive, do you?!"
