Chapter 753 Mysterious Old Friend
"Go forth, Dipper beetle! Unleash the invincible Dipper beetle sword!"
On the arena, a young man in a black robe was shouting loudly and pointing his index finger, seemingly giving instructions.
A massive water beetle at the forefront spread its transparent, thin wings and spun rapidly like a drill, unleashing countless curved blades that slashed straight at the sword-wielding sand beetle.
The latter remained calm and unhurried, without even raising its eyelids. It lowered its head, and the thick back armor steadily caught all the blades without missing a single one.
As for Jianji Shadou himself, he was completely unharmed, without even a scratch.
A chorus of boos erupted, and the black-robed youth blushed instantly.
I never expected that my fighting insect wouldn't even be able to break through the defenses.
He stopped, and the others continued to follow.
"The Raging Dragon!"
"A decisive strike!"
"Tail needle!"
The fighting insects unleashed their ultimate moves, simultaneously bombarding the Sword-Horned Sand Beetle. The latter finally took it seriously, its wings flashing as several of its hind legs unleashed terrifying power, leaping into the air. Its massive, sharp horn swung back and swatted away a flying fighting insect, while its thick carapace completely ignored the attacks from the other fighting insects.
That's just how helpless he is. He doesn't have any fancy fighting techniques or cool skill names. He just relies on his sturdy armor, as solid as a city wall, and his immense strength to suppress all directions.
Brute force is the best means of attack, and this statement is perfectly exemplified by Jianji Shadou.
Everyone was stunned. The previously cheering audience fell silent, their mouths agape, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.
The two enormous forelegs of the sword-wielding sand stalk resembled sickles; with a single swing, it instantly cleaved an attacking mantis in half.
With a single collision of the sword and halberd, a ferocious beast that was also a beetle was knocked over, and even the sharp horn on its head was bent and completely destroyed.
Although both are beetles and both have large ramming horns, they are completely incomparable.
That's too powerful, it's absolutely incredible.
Compared to the sword-wielding sand antler, the other nine fighting insects were like chicks, utterly powerless and unable to withstand a single blow.
Even if they formed an alliance and attacked together, the result would not change at all. By the time the audience realized what was happening, only the Sword-Spear Sandworm, a complete fighting insect, would remain on the stage!
"My God... what happened...?"
"That's too fast, it's not even in the same league!"
"Is this really a Nascent Soul Battle Insect? With this kind of strength, it could already participate in the Star Luo Arena!"
"We won! Hahahaha!"
Dai Zijun was the most excited, jumping extremely high. The others who had bet on Ye Kang also cheered wildly, but then their faces showed pain. Why didn't they bet more?
If we go all in, wouldn't we be living in villas and caves by the sea?
Cheers erupted as everyone chanted Jianji Shadou's name, while those who had lost the match looked grim.
As the referee announced Ye Kang's victory, the reward of 40,000 spirit crystals was settled on the spot.
A total of 50,000 spirit crystals. The insect fighting arena took one-fifth of it, which was incredibly shady, but Ye Kang was very satisfied. Who wouldn't be happy with money that was handed to them for free?
After splitting the money with Jin Lingfeng, there were still 20,000 left, enough for a trip to the Linglong Chamber of Commerce.
A moment later, Ye Kang and his two companions walked out of the insect fighting arena. There were a few people with ill intentions, but after seeing Yin Xingtang, they all left far away and dared not have any more thoughts.
What a joke! Who would dare rob General Zhan's daughter?
Even the most audacious villain can still distinguish between right and wrong.
On the way, Jin Lingfeng was extremely excited.
"See this? This is the fighting insect I've chosen. I guarantee a win, and I mean it."
He glanced at Yin Xingtang with a hint of smugness.
The latter, however, remained frowning, seemingly deep in thought.
She kept thinking about what Jin Lingfeng had said earlier, and what could she possibly learn from watching the insect fighting competition?
Are you trying to tell me that martial arts require immense strength, like throwing bricks, and that brute force can overcome any technique, while skill is unimportant?
"Could there be another hidden meaning..."
Seeing his expression, Ye Kang and Jin Lingfeng wisely kept quiet.
Whatever, let her figure it out herself.
"Old Ye, I'll head back to the barracks now. It's not appropriate to be out for too long," Jin Lingfeng said with a smile, turning his head.
Ye Kang readily agreed, saying, "Thank you, Captain."
"No need, we're brothers, aren't we?"
Jin Lingfeng waved his hand and left on his own.
Ye Kang and Yin Xingtang headed straight for the Linglong Chamber of Commerce branch in the county town.
On the way, Ye Kang asked in confusion, "What exactly is the Linglong Chamber of Commerce? Why is it spread all over the continent?"
Yin Xingtang shook his head: "Nobody knows. All we know is that you can trade anything there, and it's absolutely reliable. Except for the prices being a little higher, there's nothing to worry about."
"Even you don't know, so it seems this isn't a force from Kyushu..."
Ye Kang shook his head repeatedly. He had previously thought that the Linglong Chamber of Commerce was established by a powerful sect in Kyushu, but now it seemed that it was far from that.
With the ability to traverse the entire Nine Provinces and even venture into spatial fragments, such immense power is truly astonishing.
The Eight Directions Spiritual Treasure Pavilion is much the same. As long as you gather all the rare and precious materials, you can truly get involved and perhaps even glimpse a clue.
He pondered silently, and soon arrived in front of an incredibly magnificent shop.
It retains the Linglong Chamber of Commerce's decorating style, but it spans three streets, is located at a crossroads, and covers a vast area.
It has six floors and is decorated in the most luxurious way, with the exterior walls made of gold and jade.
Yin Xingtang looked up at the Linglong Chamber of Commerce signboard and suddenly said, "A long time ago, when the Linglong Chamber of Commerce first ventured into the county town, the then prefect coveted the wealth of the Linglong Chamber of Commerce and used his power to oppress them, hoping to get something for nothing."
"The results of it?"
"As a result, the entire family of that prefect disappeared, and the Wu Dynasty did nothing but quietly promote a new prefect to take charge."
"hiss……"
This is something even the Wu Dynasty fears.
Ye Kang pursed his lips and stepped inside.
"Welcome... This is your distinguished guest, Ye!"
Suddenly, a tall, beautiful woman warmly greeted them. After exchanging a glance with Ye Kang, the two of them froze.
Ye Kang's head almost exploded. This woman was none other than Number Seven, whom he had met in Whale City!
When Ye Kang first set foot on Tyrant Whale Island, he sought someone to guide him, and it was this Number Seven who led him to the Tang family!
Isn't she at the branch in Whale City?
How would it appear here!
No! How did he cross the spatial boundary?!
Compared to Ye Kang, Number Seven's expression was even more interesting; it was as if he had seen a ghost.
"You are Ye... a VIP, right?"
Ye Kang nodded: "Long time no see."
"What a coincidence..."
Number Seven's gaze was incredibly strange, but out of professional ethics, she said nothing and simply led the way politely.
Behind them, Yin Xingtang looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression: "You two know each other?"
Ye Kang nodded: "An old friend. I never expected to see her here again."
Number Seven turned his head and said, "Me too. Because my performance was pretty good, my supervisor promoted me to this branch. It seems we really are quite destined for each other."
