Chapter 264 The Three Heroes of the East China Sea
"Earth Spirit Treasure Flower!"
The King of Thieves was visibly agitated, tears welling in his eyes.
"It really exists! The legend is true! We didn't look for the wrong place back then! It's right here!"
Suddenly, the King of Thieves knelt on the ground, muttering to himself, tears streaming down his face. An old man who had experienced everything was now like a child, weeping with joy.
Ye Kang could understand his feelings, but his attention was still more focused on Baohua.
This flower is quite peculiar, large in size, and surrounded by spiritual energy. Occasionally, wreaths of flowers scatter, making it seem like a flower from a fairyland.
But even with such an obvious precious flower, it didn't exude much spiritual energy.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye Kang had eaten over a hundred fish treasures, greatly enhancing his senses, even he wouldn't have been able to detect the abnormality.
Not to mention the King of Thieves, he probably wouldn't have thought to come up there if Ye Kang hadn't reminded him.
"Such a powerful longevity-extending plant can even seal one's aura; it's truly amazing."
Ye Kang sighed.
The Thief King wiped away his tears and said, "It's normal. The Earth Spirit Flower absorbs the earth's spiritual energy, and its energy is locked in the earth's veins, making it undetectable. Only when you pull out the flower will the spiritual energy leak out, causing a huge commotion."
"I see. But it just so happens that the Treasure Flower grows here and the Fire Phoenix builds its nest here. To call it a coincidence is a bit far-fetched."
"You mean Huo Yuanpeng built his nest here specifically for the Treasure Flower? But demons have long lifespans, often hundreds or even thousands of years, so the Earth Spirit Treasure Flower is ineffective against them; only humans need it..."
At this point, the King of Thieves frowned.
"When I first saw that beast, it had just been born. Could it be that someone knew there was a spirit flower here and deliberately placed a demon to guard it until it matured?"
The King of Thieves' expression changed, and his worries deepened.
If someone truly possesses such abilities, they must be either a powerful figure from a hidden sect or a powerful individual from the sea.
Only such a being could freely command demons like Huo Yuanpeng.
Ye Kang pondered for a moment and said, "This flower has just ripened and should not have been harvested yet. In that case, I will gladly accept it."
Without hesitation, Ye Kang reached out and grasped the root of the Earth Spirit Flower.
Then, with a forceful pull, the precious flower was uprooted. The next second, endless spiritual energy from the earth was released, forming a fountain of spiritual energy that shot straight to the top of the sky.
Green light burst forth, forming a giant, illusory flower that illuminated the entire deep valley.
This commotion left Ye Kang and the Thief King stunned.
Dai Huanhuan, who was in the distance, also covered her mouth, her face full of fear.
This extraordinary phenomenon involving the precious plant is far too much!
Meanwhile, on the vast ocean, a giant roc, its entire body engulfed in flames, suddenly sensed something was wrong. It let out a furious cry that resounded through the sky and turned to fly away.
the other side.
Up in the mountains leading into the deep valley.
The three masked men landed and happened to see the strange phenomenon of the precious flower.
All three of them looked shocked.
"It's the Earth Spirit Flower! A longevity-promoting plant, a specialty of the deep valleys of Tiannan!"
"What a find! This would be worth tens of thousands of spirit crystals in the open sea!"
"No wonder this kid came to this place. It turns out he already knew about the birth of the precious flower and couldn't wait any longer! It's time for us brothers to get rich and seize this opportunity!"
The three men were breathing heavily, their eyes filled with greed. Then, three powerful auras erupted simultaneously, heading straight for Ye Kang and the Thief King.
Ye Kang also instantly sensed the approaching attack. He immediately scanned the area with his senses, and his expression darkened completely.
Fortunately, the person wasn't from the coast; they had come all the way from Qiantang.
Three experts at the ninth rank of the Extreme Realm, they really think highly of themselves.
The Thief King exclaimed in alarm, "They are the Three Heroes of the East Sea! Retainers of the Duke of Wei! The three of them come from the outer sea and are all top-level experts at the ninth rank of the Extreme Realm!"
"They've come at the perfect time. If we kill them, Zuo Mingyue will have no retainers left."
Ye Kang sneered, immediately took out the largest jade box, sealed the precious flower, and put it into the black jade ancient treasure.
He then jumped down suddenly, landing vertically, and took off steadily in mid-air, rushing towards the three people.
The Thief King was of relatively low strength and could only follow from a distance, not daring to approach.
Seeing that Ye Kang not only didn't run away, but instead charged towards them, the Three Heroes of the East Sea all showed disdainful sneers.
"Where did this thief come from, so arrogant?"
"He must have become arrogant because he thought he could kill Dugu Qi."
The three heroes didn't take Ye Kang seriously at all, thinking he was just a clown.
When news of the deaths of Dugu Qi and his three companions reached the Duke's mansion, Zuo Mingyue immediately dispatched three people.
Since Ye Kang is definitely at the ninth rank of the Extreme Realm, sending someone there wouldn't be a safe bet.
If all three of them come at once, how can you possibly take on all three of them?
Therefore, all three of them looked calm, and one of them even laughed and said, "Kid, do you know who we are?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang said coldly, "I know, Zuo Mingyue's dog."
"How dare you! You address Lord Zuo by his given name!"
The three of them were furious, not because they were called dogs, but because Ye Kang called Zuo Mingyue by her name.
Even Ye Kang couldn't help but laugh at how stupid he was.
"I heard that the Three Heroes of the East Sea came from the outer sea. I didn't expect them to be such utter traitors. It seems that martial artists from the outer sea are nothing special."
Upon hearing this, the three of them were completely enraged, releasing their icy true energy to surround Ye Kang.
The eldest of the Three Heroes of the East Sea said in a deep voice, "Boy, although I don't know who you are, you are going to die today. Hand over the Earth Spirit Flower and I may leave you with a whole corpse."
Ye Kang didn't reply, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
not good!
There's a really, really, really dangerous feeling about me!
He suddenly turned around and looked behind him. In the direction of the sea, a dark shadow rushed towards him at lightning speed, carrying an overwhelming demonic aura, which was extremely terrifying.
In an instant, Ye Kang took out the box containing the Earth Spirit Flower without hesitation and threw it forcefully to the Three Heroes of the East Sea.
"For you guys!"
"Ok?"
The eldest of the three heroes took the jade box with a strange expression.
"They compromised so easily? This isn't what I expected."
"Boss, it seems this kid knows he's going to die today and has given up resisting."
"He does have some self-awareness, but unfortunately, I love to deceive people, so there's no way I'll leave him with a complete corpse."
The three heroes chuckled wickedly, unaware of the impending danger.
Because their perception is not as good as Ye Kang's. Although their realm is a little higher, Ye Kang has the nourishment of more than a hundred fish treasures and the reward of the stone steps of Lingyin Temple. His perception has already surpassed the ninth level of the extreme realm.
At that moment, a thought crossed his mind, and his figure vanished swiftly, disappearing without a trace like a gentle breeze.
In the distance, the Thief King and Dai Huanhuan, who had already run away, met up. When they saw Ye Kang's Skywalking Steps, they were completely stunned.
"Perfect! This kid has mastered the Skywalking Step to Perfection in just a few days!"
Their surprise was fleeting, for something even more terrifying was yet to come.
Just a few breaths after Ye Kang fled, a monstrous demonic aura swept over him, leaving the Three Heroes of the East Sea stunned.
Their expressions changed drastically, their pupils contracted sharply, and they trembled visibly.
"Demons! Demons from the Lotus Realm!"
"Damn it! Run!"
"That bastard, what did he do to attract demons!"
