Chapter 244 Full of Harvests
Ye Kang was not a pretentious person. The King of Thieves had committed many heinous crimes, but killing him had nothing to do with those things.
There's no need for grand excuses; killing him is simply to seize the treasure and eliminate any future threat!
With a thought, Ye Kang activated the Bewildering Spirit Array at full power, and his figure immediately appeared in various places, increasing rapidly and flashing continuously.
The illusions were so mesmerizing that they bewildered all living beings, filling the formation with identical images that were indistinguishable from one another!
Behind the Thief King, the Dharma Image roared, its hands forming claws, stirring up countless gusts of wind as it swept wildly.
With a single claw strike, countless phantoms crumbled, but Ye Kang's true form had already arrived behind the Thief King.
With the Spirit-Trapping Array complete, the Thief King had nowhere to escape or dodge. No matter how skilled his Shadow Step was, he couldn't avoid Ye Kang's strongest area-of-effect attack at this moment.
"Remember this, the move to kill you is called True Tiger Sword Qi."
Like a chilling sound from the abyss, the bandit king's eyes widened, and the Dharma Image immediately turned around and struck with a claw. However, Ye Kang did not move at all this time. He simply closed his eyes, and his whole body radiated countless golden lights from the Daoist sect.
As the True Tiger Sword Qi was released, golden light transformed into blades, and Ye Kang's entire body emitted sharp sword light, covering the sky and the earth, leaving no blind spot untouched.
The Thief King's strongest Dharma form shattered instantly upon contact with the sword energy, turning into nothingness.
The thief king was also greatly shocked. Without hesitation, he used his shadow-flash ability to flee frantically.
He could sense that Ye Kang's move was not the kind of power a martial art at the Innate Realm should have!
This is the kid's true strength!
run!
However, within the Spirit Trapping Array, no matter how fast one can use the Shadow Step to flash, where can one escape to?
The Thief King frantically teleported, but no matter where he appeared, the overwhelming golden sword light would instantly pierce his body, easily penetrating his bones and blood, severing everything in its path.
In just a few breaths, the bandit king had his arms, legs, and neck severed by several sword beams...
A crimson tinge seeped from his pupils. The last thing the Thief King saw was Ye Kang, his entire body covered in gold, and the half-jade pendant so close to his eyes…
Bang!
The bandit king's entire body exploded, completely shredded into pieces by the domineering True Tiger Sword Qi.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and within the Spirit-Trapping Array, there was a fine rain of blood.
A moment later, the sword energy disappeared, and Ye Kang landed in a sorry state. He stumbled and lost his balance, falling to the side.
Exhaustion traveled from his soul to his body. Ye Kang gasped for breath, his entire body drenched in sweat.
He hadn't felt anything at the bottom of the Poyang Lake last time, but this time he felt it more clearly—the domineering power of the True Tiger Sword Qi.
It drained all his vital energy in one go.
There was nothing that could be done; the previous battle had already consumed half of his true energy, and he simply couldn't withstand another burst of sword energy.
Fortunately, no one else came over at that moment.
Ye Kang made the two formations continue to operate, and then quickly poured out half a bottle of Qi-restoring pills and swallowed them.
He opened his eyes after half an hour of recovery.
"Fortunately, the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique is powerful enough that my true energy recovers quickly."
"Unfortunately, the system hasn't issued any tasks after waiting for so long, so I can only get some basic living allowance."
Ye Kang shook his head, somewhat regretful.
The system did not issue any missions targeting the Thief King, so Ye Kang only received 6000 kill enlightenment points.
Ye Kang currently has an astonishing 120,000 remaining comprehension points, a wealth he has never experienced before.
After ensuring he had the strength to fight, he suppressed his excitement and got up to walk towards the pile of corpses in front of him.
Amidst countless pieces of flesh, half a piece of dark jade pendant trembled incessantly.
That was the king of thieves' most treasured possession, and also the other half of the ancient black jade treasure that Ye Kang had been longing for.
He reached out and took the jade pendant, and without hesitation, he pieced it together with his own ancient treasure to form a complete black jade ancient treasure!
Then he was dumbfounded.
Although the two jade pendants collided and fit together perfectly, they couldn't stay together at all; they separated as soon as they were released.
Ye Kang was taken aback, and then the system voice sounded.
【Ding】
[Damaged Black Jade Treasure Detected in Divine Martial Forge]
[Note: The ancient jade artifact has been violently damaged and cannot be repaired automatically.]
【Ding】
[The Divine Martial Forge issues a quest: Find the Mysterious Crystal Sand]
[Task Rewards: Comprehension Points, 1 opening of the Divine Martial Forge]
A series of system notifications lit up, and Ye Kang immediately understood.
It turns out that finding two jade pendants wasn't enough to get them to repair them.
In other words, even if the Thief King managed to collect both jade pendants after all these years of effort, without the Mysterious Crystal Sand and a master craftsman, he could only obtain two storage spaces at most.
For him, this idea was just a pipe dream from the very beginning.
"That's fine too. The Divine Martial Furnace doesn't have a forging function right now, but completing the mission should give me one chance, which I can use to repair the Ink Jade Ancient Treasure."
Ye Kang relaxed and stopped worrying. Instead, he picked up the half of the ancient treasure belonging to the Thief King with great interest.
True Qi surged in, breaking through the Thief King's True Qi restriction, and Ye Kang's mind sank into it.
Sure enough, the space was about the same size as his own ancient jade treasure, and its edges were also damaged, but it contained far more stuff than he had piled up.
The place was piled high with gold and silver treasures, including precious jewelry, especially jade pendants, which were scattered everywhere. It was estimated that the king of thieves had stolen them over several decades.
This shows how obsessed he was with finding the other half of the jade pendant. The combined value of these items is almost equivalent to the wealth accumulated by a small aristocratic family.
In addition, there are various martial arts manuals and rare herbs.
There were dozens of manuals. Ye Kang glanced at them and found that some were martial arts passed down from famous and orthodox sects, while others were from second-rate sects he had never even heard of. All of them were at the Innate Realm.
The martial arts manuals that the Thief King himself practiced were also there, but Ye Kang had no interest in them. All his current martial arts skills were already top-notch, and there was no need to waste his comprehension on innate martial arts.
His goal is beyond the innate.
Of course, the light-body skill that the Thief King possessed doesn't count; he still needs to learn that.
Even if you don't learn these techniques yourself, you can still keep them; you never know when you might need them.
As for the rest, the herbs are all extremely precious in the martial arts world, such as thousand-year-old blood ginseng and Tianchi snow edelweiss.
But it's useless against a ninth-rank master.
What was truly useful were the pile of jade boxes next to the herbs.
Ye Kang's eyes lit up, and he examined it carefully.
Sure enough, each jade box contained a precious plant, and there were twelve jade boxes in total!
Furthermore, the Thief King is also considered a half-body tempering martial artist, so there are actually six precious plants in these twelve jade boxes that can temper the body!
However, these are all the most ordinary body-tempering treasures that can only increase qi and blood and improve physical strength. After all, the Thief King would definitely use the top-grade and rare treasures himself and would not give them to Ye Kang.
But this is already a huge gain, enough for Ye Kang to really hone his skills!
After Bao Zhi finished looking at it, the rest of the items were no longer of any use. Ye Kang planned to bury them somewhere along with the Thief King's several boxes of clothes after he left, as a kind of cenotaph for the Thief King.
Ye Kang withdrew from the perception with satisfaction, his face beaming with uncontainable joy.
Indeed, looting is the most satisfying moment in the world!
