Chapter 979 Ye Family's Ye Hou, Scholar's Sword Qi
"What's going on with this kid?!"
Tuoba Chili was greatly alarmed. His previous contempt vanished, replaced by a look of deep apprehension in his eyes.
To think that I, a peak cultivator at the Six Qi Perfection stage, could fight this kid to a standstill is simply unbelievable!
No wonder Ouyang Jian died at this kid's hands; facing such a powerful enemy, his death was not unjust.
But I'm different; I have helpers!
Tuoba Chili roared and pressed down with his steel whip. At the same time, a blue figure suddenly attacked, and countless gusts of wind in his hand turned into long dragons, which struck Ye Kang in an instant.
Ye Hou was also very experienced in combat, so he was able to judge the situation immediately and decisively made his move while Ye Kang and Tuoba Chili were fighting.
After all, they came to kill, not to fight.
As long as Ye Kang dies, no one will know what happened, let alone that the two of them at the peak of the Returning to the True Realm were forced to join forces by a mere upstart.
However, Ye Kang had already seen Ye Hou's actions and had been on guard against him.
He remained unmoved by Ye Hou's martial arts, but just as the attack was about to land, countless black and white chess pieces rose into the air, rotated and combined, transforming into a large chess piece shield.
It is the Dao-Merging Divine Weapon, the Mountain and Sea Chess. This divine weapon can both attack and defend, and is infinitely versatile. Moreover, it is made of special materials and is extremely hard. It can even survive the tragic situation of the Dao-Merging War, which shows how terrifying it is.
Boom!
The gale-force winds slammed into the Mountain and Sea Chess, creating a series of explosions, but the Mountain and Sea Chess remained unscathed, completely blocking the gale-force winds.
Ye Hou's eyes narrowed immediately, and his face turned ashen.
"This kid actually possesses a Dao-Merging Divine Weapon!"
Ye Hou was born in a time when the Martial Dynasty had already been established, so he did not recognize Shan Haiqi, a Dao Integration expert from the Thunder Demon Sect, but that did not prevent him from judging Shan Haiqi's level.
Only a divine weapon that has reached the Dao could block his attack so easily.
His vigilance towards Ye Kang deepened, and at the same time, a hint of greed, though not easily revealed, rose within him.
This kid has too many secrets. If I can kill him, all of these things will be mine!
Therefore, without hesitation, a bronze brush immediately appeared in his hand. Using the brush as a sword, he wielded the brush with powerful strokes, creating countless sword energies that swept across the sky and stabbed towards Ye Kang.
But in that instant, Ye Kang unleashed his full power, violently flinging Tuoba Chili away. Then he turned and swept his spear, countless spear lights blooming like stars, shining brightly, sweeping towards the thousands of sword energies.
But this time, the spear's edge was quickly obliterated by the sword energy.
After all, Ye Hou was a peak expert of the Returning to Truth realm. This Scholar's Sword Qi was a unique skill that he had honed for countless years. How could it be easily broken?
Seeing this, Ye Kang began to value this member of the Ye family even more.
Indeed, the heroes of the world should not be underestimated.
His mind raced, and he immediately raised the Mountain and Sea Chess to protect himself, but the sword energy was endless, and the Mountain and Sea Chess was not a comprehensive defense.
Faced with the sword energy attacking from the side, Ye Kang had no choice but to use the Myriad Flower Sword Finger to counter the sword energy while simultaneously activating the true meaning of speed to fully utilize his speed advantage.
Since visiting the Night Maiden Clan's Phantom Forest, Ye Kang's Speed True Meaning has been greatly enhanced. At this moment, his speed is comparable to that of a flowing shadow, and he immediately leaps out of the sword aura encirclement.
As the Myriad Flowers Sword Finger clashed with the Scholar's sword energy, sparks flew everywhere, and the sheer power of the attack instantly annihilated the schools of fish swimming beneath the sea surface.
Ye Hou's expression grew even more profound.
"I never imagined that you would also have studied swordsmanship. You have mastered so many martial arts at the same time, and you have integrated them all without any confusion or mixing. You are truly a rare genius."
At this moment, Ye Hou, like Tuoba Chili, completely abandoned any intention to underestimate Ye Kang and regarded him as an opponent of equal strength, or even a formidable one.
He sighed softly, raised the brush in his hand, and solemnly said, "Since that's the case, there's no need to hide it from you, fellow Daoist. My name is Ye Hou, and speaking of which, we are from the same clan."
Ye Kang was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "Ye Hou? Ye Xiang's younger brother, a master calligrapher of the Wu Dynasty?"
He didn't stay in the Wu Dynasty for nothing; he read countless classic books, including those of famous families and sects.
For example, the Ye family of Wudu was originally a prominent family in Guilan County. After Ye Zheng became the prime minister, the Ye family moved to Wudu. However, Guilan County remained the Ye family's stronghold. Ye Hou was the one who stayed in Guilan County. He was also the best calligrapher in the Wu Dynasty. His calligraphy was a fusion of martial arts, making it unpredictable. With his protection, the Ye family in Guilan County had no worries.
Ye Kang never expected that such a famous figure would specifically come to intercept and kill him, an ordinary nobody.
Isn't that taking it a bit too seriously?
Seeing Ye Kang's surprised expression, Ye Hou just smiled faintly and said, "Fellow Daoist is no small character. You know all about the shady things Ying Huan has done. If we don't kill you, the Ye family will never have peace of mind."
"I see," Ye Kang understood.
At this moment, Tuoba Chili suddenly roared, "Fellow Daoist Ye Hou, why waste words with him? If we join forces, we can surely kill this little beast!"
Ye Hou glanced at the uncouth man with disdain and said, "Of course I know that if we don't kill him today, both your Longtu Sect and my Ye family will face endless troubles in the future. So he must die today. However, I see that he has amazing talent and deserves to be called a fellow Daoist by me, which is also a small token of my respect."
"Hmph, all that talk and no substance, you still end up killing and robbing people, don't you? All that talk of benevolence, morality, and scholarly idealism, what good is it! You little beast, don't think you're someone special just because you can exchange a few blows with us. I'll show you the true strength of a peak True Return Realm cultivator right now!"
