Chapter 618 Wind Rolling Beads
Chapter 618 Wind Rolling Beads
The two of them stared at each other speechlessly.
Sure enough, there wasn't a single honest person among them.
At this moment, Hu Long was about to break through the battle formation, and the soldiers were clearly about to give way.
Ye Kang and Scarface were still locked in a standoff when, at a crucial moment, Ma Tiandou, who had been shouting about loyalty, suddenly unleashed a whip and lashed out at Lian Hulong.
The latter flew into a rage: "You bastard! You want to betray me too!"
"Commander, I have no choice. If you don't die, we will. Please, have mercy and die in our place!"
"You beast! I'll never forgive you!"
Even as Hu Long dodged the whip, he made a mistake at that moment. Ye Kang seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful burst of energy.
Bang!
The unparalleled force struck Lian Hulong's waist, blasting a huge bloody hole in it.
Lian Hulong rolled forward, the excruciating pain causing him to turn his head in disbelief.
The next second, countless bursts of gun energy erupted, piercing straight through his body.
"You bastards..."
Even Hu Long gritted his teeth and fell to the ground with a face full of resentment. His two Dao Palaces were about to collapse. Then, a transparent primordial spirit shot out from his body and rushed towards Ye Kang without hesitation.
The latter was surprised for a moment, but the Azure Flame was already ready to strike.
The primordial spirit condensed at the Nascent Soul stage is equivalent to a second life; even if the physical body shatters, the primordial spirit can continue to exist.
This was Ye Kang's first time facing a complete primordial spirit, and Azure Flame was the only reliable method.
After all, heavenly fire burns everything, including the primordial spirit.
But at the critical moment, a pink aura suddenly drifted by and then violently shattered Lian Hulong's primordial spirit. The latter let out a wail and completely disappeared from the world.
Ye Kang looked to the side in utter surprise, and the scarred man made a gesture that said, "You're not good enough."
It was she who just stepped in and helped me shatter Lian Hulong's last counterattack.
Sure enough, this guy was a Nascent Soul cultivator disguised as a Divine Sea Realm cultivator; his methods were definitely primordial spirit attacks.
Ye Kang did not expose her thoughts, but continued to wait.
Outside the sand wall, Ma Tiandou and his soldiers, panting heavily, looked at Lian Hulong's corpse with lingering fear.
"died……"
Everyone turned to look at the yellow-haired rat demon.
The latter snorted coldly and said, "I never break my word. If you kill him, I will let you go. However, I hate being disturbed and will not let you off easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind arose, and everyone looked up in astonishment. The next second, sand and stones tumbled and countless attacks rained down.
The soldiers were thrown out one by one, their bodies covered in bruises and welts, a truly gruesome sight.
After doing all this, the yellow-haired rat demon looked inside the sand wall.
"Those two, if you don't come out now, I won't be polite."
"No! Brother Rat, spare me!"
Ye Kang and Little Scarface walked out very obediently, both looking completely harmless.
The yellow-haired rat demon gave the two of them a meaningful look.
He saw it clearly just now; that human from Sannomiya died at the hands of these two.
Although that guy was half-crippled and lost half of his cultivation, he was still not someone that this group of humans from the First Palace could kill.
Without these two people, the outcome would never have been like this.
He said, "You two are quite clever. I have a favor to ask of you. If you do it well, there will be a reward."
"what?"
Ye Kang was surprised. Could there be an unexpected gain?
The yellow-haired rat demon stretched out its right hand, revealing a small, earthy-yellow bead in its palm.
"This item is called the Wind Roller Bead. It is a natural treasure born in the desert. Once released, it can trigger sandstorms and create strong winds. It is quite powerful. If you do a good job, this item is yours."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's eyes widened.
No wonder they said this demon possessed a priceless treasure; it turns out it was this thing!
Ye Kang wanted it, not for any other reason than that he couldn't set up many of the ancient formations he learned in Xuanmen Formation Explanation because they lacked the core of the formation.
And this Wind Rolling Bead can serve as the core of one of the formations!
An ancient formation, the Nine-Bend Yellow Sand Formation, where sandstorms rise from the ground and annihilate all living beings through its nine bends.
This formation is extremely powerful. According to the description in the Xuanmen Formation Explanation, trapping and killing a martial artist one level higher than oneself is not a problem at all.
Of course, this requires sufficient time to set up the formation, and the opponent must walk in on their own.
Putting aside the preconditions, this formation is a powerful backup plan for me.
Sure enough, the system notification sounded immediately.

Ye Kang nodded vigorously: "Brother Rat said I will do my best."
The yellow-haired rat demon hadn't expected Ye Kang to be so decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
Indeed, humans are all greedy.
He said, "My wife has been captured by humans. Help me rescue her."
"what!"
Ye Kang and Scarface exclaimed at the same time, "Good heavens, what a juicy story!"
The yellow-haired rat demon said coldly, "Not long ago, I was away from home, and humans took the opportunity to capture my wife. The leader was a bearded man who should be someone you know."
Ye Kang looked completely bewildered, while the scarred-face man fell into deep thought: "The bearded man... could it be Instructor Li?"
"Who?"
"The servant that Captain Jin brought was an instructor. Those battle formations were all taught by the instructor. His cultivation level had also reached the fifth palace level, only one palace less than Captain Jin."
The scarred man's expression was grave; he didn't need to say more. The meaning was simple: how could they rescue someone captured by such a powerful figure?
But Ye Kang nodded without hesitation: "No problem, I'll take care of it. But Brother Rat, let's find another place."
"I don't need you to say anything more. I've memorized your scent. As long as you bring my wife back, I'll find you naturally."
After saying that, the yellow-haired rat demon transformed into a gust of demonic wind and disappeared from the spot.
As the sandstorm subsided, the two stepped out of the sand wall and saw the ten soldiers supporting each other, looking at them.
The atmosphere froze instantly. Ma Tiandou rushed out and shouted, "You two bastards! How dare you collude with demons and harm Commander Lian! Brothers, let's take these two heads back and avenge Commander Lian!"
Ye Kang and Scarface's expressions remained unchanged upon hearing this.
It's too easy to see that Ma Tiandou wants to make them scapegoats and completely shirk responsibility for killing Lian Hulong.
Of the ten soldiers, six shared the same idea and simultaneously picked up their spears to block the two men.
The remaining four hesitated, unsure whether they should do it.
Ye Kang sighed and said, "Boss Ma, if I were you, I should learn to be smarter in my next life."
"Bah! You vile beast! Colluding with demons and still spouting nonsense, I'll kill you first!"
Fearing exposure, Ma Tiandou lashed out with his long whip, aiming straight for Ye Kang's vital point.
With a loud bang, Ye Kang raised his right hand and, to everyone's astonishment, grabbed the long whip.
