Chapter 121 You're Wearing White Too
"It's Lord Skyhawk's arrow!"
"The garrison commander has given the order: Let the fighting begin!"
Both the bell and the iron tower cried out in surprise, their eyes filled with intense fervor.
That was reverence for the strongest, and also submission to the power that guarded it.
Ye Kang also gazed at the sky, unable to believe that the crimson streak was actually an arrow shot by a martial artist. Its power was probably second only to the sword energy that Chongxuzi borrowed from the ancient sword.
"This must be the work of the Azure Scale Guard's top ranged archer. It's truly exciting to have mastered archery to this level."
Ye Kang felt a surge of excitement and, for the first time, developed a great interest in archery.
At the same time, all the Qinglin Guards near Tiansun Mountain were mobilized, and together with the masked people who had arrived first, they launched a surprise attack.
Meanwhile, Ye Kang's masked men, who had been assigned to assist him, were already in position. Ye Kang shouted sternly, "Everyone dismount! Guard all the nearby intersections, don't let a single mosquito escape!"
"Follow the order!"
The masked men shouted in unison, dispersed, and guarded each mountain path with utmost vigilance.
With such a powerful force, there are bound to be some who try to escape in the chaos. The masked men's mission is to stop them and kill them.
Ye Kang then looked at the two rookie Azure Scale Guards and said coldly, "With the great battle imminent, I have no time to attend to you. Just watch from a distance and do not rush into anything."
"Don't worry, Lord Ye, we know what we're doing."
The two clasped hands, their expressions shifting from joking to serious.
Normally, joking and laughing are fine, but in such an emergency, there is no room for carelessness.
Obeying orders and following superiors' commands is the first principle that all court-affiliated institutions must learn.
Without saying anything more, Ye Kang used the Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds technique, lightly touching the ground with his toes, and instantly climbed to the mountainside.
Sure enough, quite a few people dressed in crimson robes hurriedly descended the mountain. Most of them were not highly skilled, and Ye Kang easily dispatched those who were nearby with his Hundred Flowers Sword Qi.
Those who were far away would pass the food to the two people behind them.
He sprinted at full speed and arrived at the top of Beiyu Mountain in no time.
Unlike the houses that are everywhere on the mountainside, there is only a small temple with green walls here.
A handsome man dressed in white, with a full head of silver hair and eyeshadow, was sitting comfortably on the roof of the small temple, smiling as he watched Ye Kang rush towards him.
"The arrival of the Azure Scale Guard is an honor for Bei Yu, who has failed to greet you properly."
The man smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and casually patted out a jade teacup.
Ye Kang swung his knife backhand, knocking the teacup to the ground, his face revealing undisguised disgust.
Sure enough, he's another alluring man who takes male beauty to the extreme.
That old demon's tastes really haven't changed.
He said in a deep voice, "You are Bei Yujun?"
The latter nodded slightly, looking at Ye Kang's new clothes with interest, and laughed, "You're wearing white too? Interesting, interesting. My rule of thumb is that people who like to wear white are definitely not bad people."
As he spoke, he stood up, and in the moonlight, his white robe fluttered, his silver hair flowing, looking quite flamboyant.
"It's a pity that I can't drink with you and talk about our ideals. Now that we've met for the first time, I'm going to borrow your heart."
His expression was strange, his mouth stretched open, revealing a twisted expression that resembled both a smile and a cry.
Ye Kang felt nauseous and didn't want to say anything more to him. He slashed down with the Heavenly White Tiger Slaying Blade without hesitation.
Having broken through to the seventh rank, the sword energy he could unleash was already dozens of feet long. With a single slash, the entire mountaintop was engulfed in golden sword light.
Seeing this, Bei Yujun extended her orchid-like finger and gently flicked it out, sending out a burst of blood-red true energy that formed a circular shield of true energy.
The blade and the blood shield collided, unleashing a deafening roar. In no time, the blood shield was shattered by the blade, and the remaining force of the blade fell down, pulverizing the entire small temple.
Seeing this, Lingdang and Tieta, who were in the distance surrounding and killing a fleeing demonic sect disciple, both gaped wide-eyed.
"Good heavens! What kind of strength does Lord Ye possess!"
The two were slightly distracted, and their opponent almost escaped.
At the same time, Bei Yujun's figure also drifted down to another corner of the mountain peak.
His expression had lost its previous composure; instead, it was filled with deep terror.
"Who are you! How could the Azure Scale Guard have someone as powerful as a seventh-rank!"
Ye Kang remained silent, then used his Shadow Step to dash forward, covering dozens of meters in one stride, and slashed down with both hands wielding his knife.
Bei Yujun was unable to dodge in time and was blasted away by the blade energy, falling directly off the cliff.
Ye Kang followed closely, his blade never stopping as he slashed and hacked his way through the rocks, sending countless stones flying and massive boulders tumbling down, snapping countless ancient trees in half.
Having reached the fifth level of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique, combined with demonic body-refining methods and countless divine skills, and having just absorbed a section of the Green Jade Lotus Root, Ye Kang's current strength is far beyond that of an ordinary seventh-grade innate being.
Bei Yujun felt that he had been stuck at the seventh rank for too long, so he thought he could easily toy with Ye Kang. However, he was careless and was seriously injured by several blows.
Several huge wounds writhed on his back, blood and flesh were mangled, and his internal energy was surging, completely destroying his composure.
His once slender white robes were now stained with blood, and his smooth silver hair stood up in a wild, unruly manner, making him look quite comical.
With a face full of grief and indignation, Bei Yujun finally couldn't help but roar, "Who exactly are you?!"
Ye Kang ignored him and continued to swing his knife.
Bei Yujun was finally completely broken by Ye Kang's silence. His expression hardened, and he kicked out, his body standing in mid-air. Countless drops of blood rose up, forming a blood cocoon that enveloped his entire body.
Ye Kang also unleashed three consecutive slashes, each one striking the blood cocoon directly, leaving three terrifying blade marks.
But the blood cocoon did not disappear; instead, it became increasingly viscous, with streaks of crimson demonic energy dancing on it.
"It's another Blood-Draining Demonic Technique, disgusting martial arts."
Ye Kang couldn't help but shake his head, his eyes filled with disdain.
He had already witnessed this move back in Jiulong Mountain when he killed that handsome savage.
The Blood Loss Demon Art has two forms: one is a handsome man, and the other is a demonic transformation into an ugly monster.
Sure enough, in just a moment, the blood cocoon broke open from the inside out, and two thick, blood-red demonic hands emerged from it.
At the top of the mountain, the bell and the iron tower, who had finally climbed up, were both astonished when they saw this scene.
"Blood-Draining Demonic Technique!"
"I've long heard that this martial art is wicked; it drains blood to transform into demonic energy, multiplying one's strength. Lord Ye is in danger..."
The two frowned, unsure of what to do.
At this level of combat, there's nothing they can do to help.
Ye Kang didn't move, not because of some strange tale that "the transformation time cannot be interrupted," but because the system spoke up.
