Chapter 761 Long-Term Mission
Ye Kang's eyes were resolute, and he acted decisively without any hesitation. The Shattering Sky Collapse had already struck the belly of the giant snake.
The immense physical strength of the body surged forth like a tidal wave, tearing everything in its path apart.
The silver-ringed snake demon never expected that its demonic body would be so vulnerable; with just one punch, it was already torn to pieces.
With his physical body destroyed and his demonic soul severely damaged, Ye Kang seized the opportunity to activate the Thunderous Swamp in his palm once more. Countless bolts of lightning surged from his left palm, violently tearing apart the opponent's true form.
This scene, though simple in description, was incredibly fast, so fast that Yin Xingtang, Gao Fan, and the others could only gape as they witnessed Ye Kang's imposing figure.
This guy was clearly well-prepared; he knew that a single strike could only severely injure the opponent, not completely kill them.
Therefore, the moment the battle ended, he rushed out without the slightest hesitation.
Only then did the Silver Ringed Serpent Demon truly die.
Meanwhile, three snake demons that hadn't died were still inside the pool, fleeing in terror.
Yin Xingtang and Gao Fan were not to be outdone. The two figures jumped out at the same time, each using their own methods to kill the enemy forcefully.
Ye Kang made no move. There was no need to snatch these heads; after all, it wasn't a mission, and they weren't cannibalistic monsters. He should leave a few for them to show off.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Slay the Silver Ringed Serpent Demon]
[Task Reward: 300000 Comprehension Points]
With his remaining comprehension reaching 150 million, Ye Kang's expression remained unchanged. He stepped forward, lifted the head of the silver-ringed snake demon, gouged out its eyes, and then, with a thought, the Demon Furnace devoured the remaining portion.
"I have a use for this snake's body, so I won't share it with you. As for the other snake demon materials, I don't want them."
Ye Kang spoke calmly, and the others did not object in the slightest. After all, he was the one who killed the snake, so it was naturally his decision on how to divide it.
Dai Zijun and his two companions immediately went up, skinned and gutted them, and collected all the materials one by one.
Yin Xingtang approached Ye Kang and asked, "Was that punch you just threw your true strength?"
Her expression was complicated, and she felt a tightness in her chest.
The physical power contained in that punch was incredible, even to a bystander.
Let alone the snake demons of the Five Luminaries, even those of the Six Luminaries and Seven Luminaries would probably find it difficult to contend with such power.
How exactly did this guy temper his body?
How did someone who is only at the fifth palace level manage to train their physical body to such an abnormal level?
Ye Kang laughed and said, "Actually, it was just an ordinary punch."
Yin Xingtang knew Ye Kang was joking and immediately remained silent.
Soon, the snake demon's corpse was disposed of, and Dai Zijun said excitedly, "We've made a fortune this time. Don't worry, everyone, let me handle it, and I guarantee it will fetch a good price."
"Alright, now that the practical exercise has been successful, let's go back. It's not safe to stay here any longer."
As soon as Gao Fan spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Ye Kang walked up to the three hunters and handed them the lotus flower he had just obtained.
"This is indeed a rare healing plant, specifically for treating damage to the primordial spirit. Your headhunter suffered severe damage to his soul?"
The three hunters thanked them profusely, then said, "To be honest, those fox demons are all proficient in the primordial spirit path. We country martial artists only know how to temper our bodies; how can we possibly withstand their primordial spirit attacks?"
Ye Kang's lips twitched. What a remark.
I'm just a country bumpkin martial artist who only knows how to temper his body, okay?
He shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.
But the three hunters exchanged a glance and immediately knelt down.
"Fellow Daoists, your kindness is immense! The three of us will never forget it. However, there is one more matter that we would like to ask you all to consider!"
"What is it?" Everyone was stunned.
The leading hunter hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "Fellow Daoists, your strength far surpasses ours. Would you be willing to help our Lingyun Town rid it of the fox demon scourge? Rest assured, we will not do it for nothing! Our Lingyun Town will certainly reward you handsomely!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang and the others all wore strange expressions.
Is this considered an unexpected bonus?
“Brother, we’re just students. You should contact the Three Offices for this kind of thing,” Gao Fan reminded him.
The three hunters, their faces flushed, whispered, "Even the inspectors from the Three Prefectures can't stay in Lingyun Town every day. Those fox demons are unpredictable, making it impossible for us to live a normal life..."
Ye Kang shook his head; he didn't want to get involved in such troublesome matters.
Just as he was about to leave, a voice he didn't want to hear rang out.
【Ding】
[Mission Issued: Protect Lingyun Town]
[Mission Requirements: Go to Lingyun Town and stay there for seven days. During these seven days, the safety of everyone in Lingyun Town depends on you. The death of one person will deduct 100000 Comprehension Points. If more than ten people die or are injured, you will lose all rewards. Conversely, if you successfully protect the town, you can receive up to 1000000 Comprehension Points.]
"..."
Ye Kang's raised foot suddenly froze in mid-air, and the words of refusal he had just prepared were abruptly stuck in his throat.
This guy is riding a horse!
System, are you kidding me?!
It's a long-term mission; you have to protect everyone to get the perfect reward. What kind of novel mission rule is this?
Gao Fan and Yin Xingtang looked over curiously when they saw that Ye Kang was not moving.
"What's wrong, Brother Ye? Is it time to go?"
Ye Kang sighed and said helplessly, "You guys go back first, and help me ask the head of the department for seven days off."
"Huh? Why is that?"
Everyone was stunned, not understanding what he was up to.
Ye Kang suddenly straightened his chest, his eyes filled with righteous indignation, and said in a righteous and indignant tone: "How can we martial artists stand idly by while the common people suffer? I'm going to Lingyun Town to stay for seven days and have a good talk with those arrogant beasts!"
Everyone was stunned.
The three hunters wept with joy. They thought these big shots were going to refuse, but they never expected that the strongest one would be so righteous. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!
"Are you OK?"
Yin Xingtang asked directly.
Gao Fan coughed twice and said, "Brother Ye, you are so righteous and hate evil. I admire your magnanimity."
"Brother Ye, you're awesome!"
"These are the true students of the academy! Fellow Daoist Ye, you are my idol!"
"So you're coming with me?"
"Absolutely not."
"What a beautiful thought."
"They're just bored and have nothing better to do."
Ye Kang looked disappointed. These guys all talked a good game, but when it came to real trouble, they all ran away.
This is normal, after all, this is a matter for the Three Offices. They don't yet have the cultivation and strength to manage the affairs of the Fox Clan, so protecting themselves is the most sensible thing to do.
Although Ye Kang felt helpless, he didn't complain much. It's good to have comprehension; he just wanted to make sure he had enough. As long as there was a mission, it was a good thing!
Ten dead or injured? That won't do! Not a single one can die! Take 100 million right away!
Ye Kang immediately parted ways with the others and followed the three hunters to Lingyun Town.
Since the system had issued the task, it meant that these three people were absolutely trustworthy, so Ye Kang immediately became friends with them.
