Chapter 217 You Can Also Use Shadow Step
The two ghosts of the Huang family held their breath, using their inner energy to cover their wounds as they cautiously entered the ancestral hall.
As they stepped inside, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
Suddenly, the complex array in the sky shone brightly, followed by a beam of light that descended from the sky and pierced into the stone lion statue.
Ye Kang's eyes widened, and he immediately said, "Retreat!"
Without him saying anything, Dai Huanhuan and the three Qinglin Guards immediately ran backward.
The ancient city trembled, and then the stone lion statue opened its mouth wide, let out a roar, flapped its wings, and jumped directly off the roof!
"It really is alive!"
Without hesitation, Ye Kang summoned the Azure Sky Blade and swung it forward with one hand. Although he did not infuse it with true energy, the Azure Sky Blade itself produced a transparent blade of energy that sliced horizontally.
The stone lion also swung its front paws, directly colliding with the sword energy, instantly sending up countless fragments.
Ye Kang was prepared for a fierce battle with the statue, but surprisingly, the statue ignored him completely and instead turned around and lunged backward.
The two Huang brothers turned green upon seeing this.
Why does everyone have to bully me?!
The two quickly unleashed a combined martial arts technique, with the black skull unleashing ghostly green flames that were quite powerful, instantly setting the stone lion ablaze.
But after all, the lion is made of stone, so how could a mere will-o'-the-wisp stop it?
With a roar, countless claw shadows pounced on the two.
Seeing this, Huang Da Gui disregarded his injuries and desperately activated a skeleton avatar, directly engaging the stone lion in battle.
Just then, the Shadow Step suddenly flashed by.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Kang directly entered the ancestral hall.
"You two hold it back, I'll go in first."
Ye Kang left behind a sentence and disappeared on the spot, leaving the Huang brothers furious.
shameless!
Why the hell don't you come and entangle this thing!
They tried to escape, but the stone lion's attacks were too fierce, giving them no chance. Helpless, the two men and the lion could only fight desperately in front of the ancestral hall.
Ye Kang had already arrived at the second floor of the ancestral hall.
The first spatial rift is located here.
He probed with his senses and discovered subtle spatial fluctuations in front of the second-floor window, but on the surface, nothing seemed amiss.
Ye Kang immediately took out a temporary Heaven-Mending Talisman. As soon as the talisman was released, it automatically flew to the window and emitted a terrifying spatial power.
Then, a black crack appeared in the center of the window, but under the effect of the Heaven-Mending Talisman, the crack was forcibly flattened until it disappeared.
The Heaven-Mending Talisman then disappeared.
【Ding】
[Repairing the spatial crack: 1/3 complete]
Ye Kang breathed a slight sigh of relief, but his movements didn't stop for a moment as he continued searching.
The ancestral hall was in disarray, with most of the items damaged and candlesticks covered in dust everywhere.
These things definitely won't be enough to break the formation.
Ye Kang frowned and continued rushing towards the top floor. As soon as he reached the top, a sword light suddenly attacked.
There were actually people lying in ambush here!
Ye Kang reacted extremely quickly, shattering the sword light with a backhand strike, and then slashed forward with his sword.
The attacker was dressed in black robes and was about forty years old. His cultivation level was also at the ninth rank of the initial stage!
With the suppression of his cultivation level and the method of concealing his aura, it's no wonder Ye Kang didn't notice anything unusual.
The man seemed surprised that his sword strike had failed to achieve any effect. He panicked for a moment and completely abandoned his attack. He took a step to the right, and his figure turned into black mist and disappeared from the spot.
Ye Kang's expression changed drastically in an instant. Almost subconsciously, they both took a step forward at the same time, and the two figures teleported to the window one after the other, their expressions filled with unparalleled astonishment.
"Shadow Step!"
"How do you know my supreme footwork?!"
After a brief moment of surprise, the man in black smashed the window with his sword and disappeared again.
With a thought, Ye Kang saw the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces appear before him, with countless landing points emerging. Almost instinctively, he took a step and landed right next to the man in black.
With a flying kick, the man in black rolled half a circle on the spot.
"How can it be!"
Before they had even finished rolling around, the man in black cried out and disappeared again. Ye Kang remained expressionless, took a step forward, and the two figures reappeared on the rooftop across the street at the same time.
With the same flying kick, the opponent was kicked far away before they could even react.
This scene also shocked Dai Huanhuan and the three Qinglin Guards who were watching from a distance.
"Another one!"
"These two move so fast, I can't see a single trace of them!"
"There are countless heroes in this world. Compared to them, our footwork is far too weak!"
Everyone was stunned.
It's one thing for Song Xian to be this fast, but how come just anyone can be this fast too!
Only Dai Huanhuan's expression darkened, and she immediately recognized the Shadow Step technique on the other side.
"Damn it, how did my martial uncle's bunch of trash disciples get in here too..."
At the same time, Ye Kang and the man in black had teleported more than a dozen steps in a row. Almost every time, Ye Kang perfectly predicted the opponent's landing point and kicked him as soon as he appeared.
Each kick landed on the right buttock, and the person would roll over once after each kick, then immediately disappear from the spot again.
This cycle repeated itself, yet Ye Kang remained relaxed.
The man in black was already dizzy and disoriented, and his buttocks were burning with pain.
Finally, he ran out of landing spots, his true energy gave way, and he fell from the sky, landing on his right buttock.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! I lost, I can't outrun you!"
The man in black quickly raised his hand in surrender, his eyes filled with shock.
Ye Kang appeared before him with a leisurely stroll and smiled, "Can you still run? I can play with you all day long."
He was very confident, as Ye Kang could tell from the very first step.
This guy's Shadow Step technique should only be at the minor completion stage, while I, with the system's help, have already reached the great perfection stage.
The same footwork, but different levels of skill. Every step this guy took was like a mindless puppet, completely within Ye Kang's prediction.
The man in black, unconvinced, asked, "Who exactly are you, and why do you wear Shadow Step?"
Ye Kang said, "I should be asking you that question. Why did you try to sneak into the secret realm through the spatial rift? What was your purpose?"
Ye Kang's tone turned cold, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He had already guessed the man's identity.
First, they were among the group who used spatial rifts to smuggle themselves into the secret realm.
Secondly, there's Fan Shanyue's sect, and Dai Huanhuan's disciple.
This wasn't the first time I'd dealt with them. My first mission in Jinling City was to kill two petty thieves from the same gang at a coffin shop.
I never saw him again after that, and I never expected that we would meet again in the secret realm of Lingyin Temple.
Ye Kang clearly remembered that the two petty thieves had said that they were both ordered to find half a jade pendant.
And we've been searching for it for a long time.
Thinking of this, Ye Kang's killing intent intensified. He pointed his long sword and said, "I'll give you three breaths to explain yourself."
The man in black immediately smiled.
"You? I can't beat you in footwork, but do you think I'd lose in terms of strength?!"
