Chapter 771 Hu Gang's Fury
Ye Kang was once again shocked by the innate divine power of the Carp God.
As I was walking, I somehow ended up with a shipment?
Is there any justice left?!
Carp God truly had no idea what had happened, only wondering why Ye Kang was suddenly so elated—had he gone mad?
Ye Kang laughed as he scooped the glowing spirit copper ore core from the water. It looked like a fist-sized, rhomboid ore with a yellowish-brown body beneath its radiant light. It resembled a unique crystal and had nothing to do with copper ore.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining a Mystic-Rank Heavenly Treasure: Spirit Copper Ore Core]
[Spirit Copper Ore Core: A mineral crystal core born from absorbing the last essence of the Lingyun Mountain Spirit Copper Ore. After cultivation, it can greatly improve the purity of the ore vein and can also be used to refine magical artifacts.]
The system beeped, confirming that Ye Kang had found the right person.
At this moment, the mineral core suddenly sprang forward, as if it had come to life, and fled in panic!
Ye Kang reacted quickly, subdued him, and then threw him into the Ink Jade Realm.
He was greatly surprised.
"This thing actually has a spirit and can even run away! No wonder that fox demon searched for so long without finding it. Unfortunately, once it's inside my Five Fingers Mountain, escaping will be as difficult as climbing to heaven."
Ye Kang was overjoyed and immediately took the Carp God with him, heading back home.
This place is not safe to stay for long. If the fox demon discovers that we have stolen it, then a fierce battle is inevitable.
I know I can't win a fight.
After all, the opponent was a powerful figure from the Nine Luminaries Sect; at most, they could only find a chance to escape.
Only in Lingyun Town, which is filled with array formations, can I have a chance to win.
His idea was good, and he executed it very cautiously, turning back without the slightest hesitation.
But he didn't expect that Hu Gang's method of accumulating wealth had already locked onto the core of the mine.
Even after entering the Jade Ink Realm, with the barrier of the small world, this fox clan secret technique could still lock on!
Hu Gang was dumbfounded.
To his astonishment, the target he had locked onto suddenly moved!
The mine was huge, with Ye Kang and Hu Gang on opposite sides, separated by an entire mountain. Hu Gang hadn't expected anyone to get there first, so he didn't use his demon soul to search.
He simply said, "Just as I expected, the mineral core has become sentient and has already run away."
"Is that so! No wonder we couldn't find it. It was because it sensed us early on and deliberately hid from us. Could it even detect a secret technique like the 'Gathering Gold for Wealth'?"
Hu Gang remained noncommittal: "It's not surprising. Since it has become a spirit, it must have its own methods. Even if the secret technique is powerful, there will always be clues. It is normal for a naturally spiritual creature to notice it. But as long as it is still within my locking range, it cannot escape!"
Hu Gang was full of confidence in his secret method, so he sped up and quickly headed towards the other end of the mine tunnel.
At this moment, Ye Kang, who was on his way, suddenly noticed that the Carp God's expression was not quite right.
"What's wrong, Koi God? Is there a problem?"
"The carp god felt that someone was following it."
"Ok?"
Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat, then he scanned the area with his primordial spirit and found nothing unusual.
If someone else had said this, Ye Kang might not have believed it, but this was the Carp Goddess! Her intuition was the truth!
Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune is no joke!
"broken!"
Ye Kang immediately realized something was wrong. Without thinking twice, he first sent the Carp God into the Ink Jade Realm, then unleashed his full power of the perfected Purple Lightning Frost, rushing out of the mine tunnel at top speed.
At the same time, Hu Gang's gaze became increasingly strange.
"Something's not right. How can the ore core be moving so fast?"
"It's a naturally gifted creature, so that makes sense..."
"No! That's not right! How could the ore cores have escaped from the mine?! This can't be happening!"
"Huh? What do we do then?"
"You stay behind, I'll go after them first!"
Hu Gang gave a brief instruction, then unleashed his full power, charging forward at an incredible speed.
In his secret perception, the target had clearly run a great distance and was about to leave Lingyun Mountain. If he didn't chase after it, it would be gone!
At this moment, Ye Kang and Hu Gang surprisingly shared the same thought: to accelerate recklessly, at any cost.
One fled, the other pursued.
However, Hu Gang was at the Nine Luminaries level, and the difference was too great. His speed far surpassed Ye Kang's. In just a few dozen breaths, he had chased Ye Kang out of the mine, and with his demon soul activated, he caught sight of Ye Kang's figure at the foot of the mountain.
Seeing the human figure sprinting like a sesame seed, Hu Gang immediately understood that someone had beaten him to it!
"You bastard! Stop right there! You dare steal from me, Hu Gang? You're asking for death!"
He could no longer contain his anger and roared out.
At this moment, Ye Kang had already run out of Lingyun Mountain. He felt a chill down his back, and the killing intent was almost solidified, rushing towards him.
There was no time to look back, I had to run!
He accelerated frantically, even using teleportation talismans and pills, while shouting towards Lingyun Town, "Senior! Take everyone to the rear for refuge!"
Jiang Yi was still guarding the town entrance when she heard Ye Kang's shout. She was stunned at first, and then she felt Hu Gang's murderous aura, which made her numb.
"Evacuate immediately!"
She immediately gave the order, and the townspeople at the town entrance scattered and fled.
Ye Kang's formation also has a limited range, covering only a small area inside the town entrance, plus a large flat area outside the town entrance.
The townspeople need to leave the area of the formation in order to isolate themselves from the aftershocks of the battle within it.
Fortunately, the townspeople all possessed cultivation skills, so running around wasn't a problem for them.
Ye Kang accelerated again, and Hu Gang behind him was getting closer and closer. Just as Hu Gang was about to catch up with Ye Kang, Ye Kang suddenly rushed towards the town entrance and turned around in mid-air.
"Array up!"
With a loud boom, the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers resounded. As soon as Hu Gang stepped into the array's range, a giant array immediately rose behind him, completely covering the entire area.
Hu Gang's eyes widened; he immediately understood that this kid had been prepared all along!
He didn't care at all; no matter how well he prepared, a mere junior cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage could never be his match.
What angered him even more was how dare this guy do that!
Doesn't he know that I am the strongest among the Nine Luminaries?
Don't you know that killing him is as easy as killing an ant for me?
Or perhaps he knew all along, yet still chose to provoke himself.
This guy clearly looks down on me!
Hu Gang was even more enraged, and the fox demon avatar roared, "Who are you! How dare you steal my mineral cores!"
Ye Kang stood at the town entrance, panting, but sneered, "Your mineral core? How shameless! This mineral core was formed from the mineral veins of Lingyun Mountain. What does it have to do with you?"
Hu Gang nearly vomited blood after being rebuked like this. He roared, "Treasures belong to the virtuous! What right do a bunch of country bumpkins have to take them! You bastard, you've really angered me. You're the one who kidnapped Xiao Qi and Hu Wen, right? Perfect, I'll skin you alive today and see just how many guts you have!"
The fox demon roared in its true form, and countless sound waves shattered the buildings. Ye Kang felt dizzy and disoriented.
Fortunately, he wasn't one to be trifled with either, and immediately had an idea.
A deafening dragon's roar descended from the sky, silencing the fox's cries.
