I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

silence.

All the onlookers stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

How did Yan Ruitu, who was blowing his trumpet so loudly, get knocked away so easily?

Looking at the young man again, his expression remained unchanged, completely calm.

That soaring aura was clearly that of a sixth-grade innate cultivator!

In an instant, exclamations of surprise rang out one after another.

"Sixth rank! He's also a sixth rank!"

"Such a young sixth-grade innate cultivator! How is this possible!"

"No wonder this guy is so arrogant, he really has the guts!"

Before everyone could finish their surprise, Ye Kang walked towards Yan Ruitu again.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

What does this guy want to do?

They soon found out that Ye Kang walked over, forcefully grabbed Yan Ruitu, and pulled him out of the golden gong.

His tall body landed with a thud, and most of his original pure aura had dissipated.

Yan Ruitu did not faint, but suffered a severe abdominal injury, and the intense pain greatly reduced his reaction time and speed.

Without hesitation, Ye Kang threw another punch, aiming straight for Yan Ruitu's chest.

The latter was terrified. This kid's punch was ridiculously powerful. If he got hit, he would die on the spot!

He quickly channeled countless streams of true energy, forming a black calligraphy character, and charged directly at Ye Kang.

Boom!

Ye Kang shattered the calligraphy with a punch, and the Catfish Demon Suppressing Water Technique was slightly activated, with a line of ink covering his fist.

The terrifying force made Yan Ruitu tremble all over.

His prized Judge's Pen technique couldn't even withstand a single punch from this kid!

"Wait! I surrender!"

Yan Ruitu spoke loudly and admitted defeat without hesitation.

There was no way around it. Judging from the kid's expression, if he didn't admit defeat, he'd probably be chased and beaten indefinitely.

Dignity is important, but you only have one life, so you can't back down.

Ye Kang indeed stopped attacking and simply watched Yan Ruitu struggle.

Beneath his calm, expressionless face, Ye Kang was also somewhat alarmed.

The Chaos Strike was truly extraordinary. Despite using the same force, that punch would never have been able to break through Yan Ruitu's ink defense without the Chaos Strike.

Ye Kang turned to look at Xie Yuan below the stage and found the latter stroking his beard with satisfaction, his eyes full of smugness.

His expression seemed to say: How about it, kid? Isn't the martial arts of my Xie family awesome?

At this moment, the audience finally snapped out of their astonishment and began to cheer, completely oblivious to their earlier mockery of Ye Kang.

Master Huyan rushed up and shouted, "The outcome is decided! Yan Ruitu concedes defeat, this young man wins! Yan Ruitu, hurry up and fulfill your promise!"

Master Huyan's voice was booming, instantly drawing everyone's attention to Yan Ruitu.

The latter looked frustrated but helpless, and could only take out five silver notes from his pocket.

"A bet's a bet, here's the money, and the treasure is yours too!"

However, Ye Kang did not take the money; he simply stared at him coldly.

"not enough."

"What! You promised five thousand taels! How can you go back on your word!" Yan Ruitu couldn't help but exclaim.

Ye Kang shook his head: "It's not about the money. You just said you wanted me to kneel down and call you 'Grandpa' a few times. Now you've lost."

Ye Kang's lips curled up, and a hint of amusement suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Everyone gasped in shock.

"Good heavens! They've completely abandoned any semblance of dignity!"

"Master Yan is in deep trouble this time. Once he kneels there, people will talk about him for the rest of their lives."

"If this kid is putting Master Yan in such a difficult position, he's probably in for trouble."

The martial artists whispered among themselves, but not one of them spoke up for Yan Ruitu.

There's no other reason than that none of the people who come here are good people; they're just watching whether Ye Kang or Yan Ruitu is causing trouble.

They're just afraid the fun won't be big enough.

Yan Ruitu on the stage had turned completely dark.

"Are you kidding me?" he asked coldly.

Ye Kang shook his head again.

"I'm not interested in joking with you. I'm giving you one last chance. If you still don't kneel down, then take a few more punches from me."

Ye Kang's smile deepened, and a hint of murderous intent clearly emerged.

Yan Ruitu felt a chill in his heart. This kid's fists were very strange. If he were to take a few more punches, he might really die on the spot.

But it's absolutely impossible for him to kneel down and call me grandpa.

At this moment, Master Huyan stepped in with a smile to smooth things over: "Young brother, it's good to be lenient when you can. Why be so extreme?"

As he spoke, he glanced somewhat guiltily at Xie Yuan below the stage.

Seeing that the other party had no expression, he felt a pang of anxiety and quickly added, "How about this, give me some face and give this young man a VIP seat at the auction? There are only three people who currently have this seat, and they are all top-notch experts. What do you think?"

Master Huyan's words were very insightful.

Because Xie Yuan is involved, this seat will definitely be given away. Now, we've given him the seat and saved face for him, without offending either side.

Ye Kang thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright."

With that, he swept his true energy, and several silver notes were rolled up and thrown directly into the hands of the mustachioed man holding the jade box below the stage.

The man with the mustache trembled and quickly handed over the jade box with both hands.

All he wants now is to get the money as quickly as possible and run as far away as he can.

They don't even dare to attend auctions anymore.

Ye Kang took the jade box, didn't even glance at Yan Ruitu, and walked off the stage.

He knew that, given Yan Ruitu's personality, this matter would not end there and he would definitely cause trouble afterward.

However, this suited Ye Kang's wishes perfectly, because Yan Ruitu had a twin brother; killing one would prevent the other from coming out.

It goes without saying who poses a greater threat: a hidden master or two dead masters.

Releasing Yan Ruitu first and resolving the issue all at once would save us trouble.

The martial artists below the stage quickly made way, looking at Ye Kang with respect, not daring to make any more mockery.

After meeting up with Xie Yuan, and walking back to the market, Master Huyan caught up from behind.

"Gentlemen! It's windy outside. Why don't you come with me to the auction house and get some rest? We've prepared excellent food and drink; we promise you won't be disappointed."

As Master Huyan spoke, he glanced at Xie Yuan.

However, the latter looked at Ye Kang and said, "You decide."

Ye Kang nodded and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Master Huyan was startled.

This Xie Jinghong is so incredibly talented that even Xie Yuan has to listen to him? Isn't this going against the Heavenly Order?

He wisely refrained from asking further questions and led the two to the largest and most exquisite pavilion in the entire complex.

It was the Grand Canal Auction House, the destination for many martial artists.

Once everyone was alone, Master Huyan said, "I was unaware of Brother Xie's visit. I am truly sorry for not welcoming you properly. Brother Xie has been living in Jinling for a long time. What brings you here today?"

Xie Yuan laughed and said, "You rascal, after all these years, you've become more and more shrewd in your dealings. But what you did just now wasn't fair. You traded a VIP seat for Yan Ruitu's life. That's not a worthwhile deal."

Master Huyan smiled and said, "Brother Xie is right. I have already prepared other compensation. At today's auction, apart from the last item, you two can take any one item and leave. How about that?"

"really?"

"I dare not deceive Brother Xie."

"That's fine, but why exclude the last one?"

"Brother Xie, you may not know, but the last item is a peerless secret manual, which is also the prize of this auction. Several other gentlemen have also come for this purpose, so I really cannot make the decision."

As soon as Master Huyan finished speaking, a surge of energy rose into the sky within the auction hall, only to disappear just as quickly.

The aura was elusive, as if it appeared solely to intimidate the two.

Master Huyan smiled wryly and said, "It's the old man in the golden robe from the Brocade Pavilion. He must have sensed Brother Xie's arrival and specially greeted you."

Ye Kang also raised his head, his eyes flashing.

Seventh-grade innate level.

Moreover, he is a top expert among the seventh-rank experts.
