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

【Ding】

Mission complete: Defeat Luan Xiong

[The host is rewarded with 2000 points of Enlightenment]

System beep.

Ye Kang remained motionless, his eyes filled with confusion.

What the hell!

Seconds!

This is too outrageous!

Is this the true value of innate martial arts?

Ye Kang swallowed hard.

No wonder Li Jingming thought he could dominate the martial arts world after obtaining the Hundred Flowers Sword Finger; its power is indeed unmatched by ordinary martial arts.

Ye Kang only wanted to test the power, but he didn't expect to tear Luan Xiong into eight pieces.

Even though it's already over in seconds, I still have to keep up the act.

He curled his lips into a smile, ignoring the corpse on the ground, and walked straight to his scabbard.

His face was expressionless, exuding an air of nonchalance.

At this moment, the disciples of the Giant Wolf Gang finally snapped out of their shock.

Their gang leader was instantly turned into pieces!

"Boss!!!"

"You thief, don't run! I'll make you pay with your life!"

"You corrupt official! Give me back my father's life!"

At the same time, at least a dozen people flew onto the dueling platform, ready to charge at Ye Kang without regard for their own safety.

Ye Kang was also speechless.

So I've become a corrupt official?

I'm not even an official!

However, Ye Kang would never be polite to anyone who dared to raise a knife against him.

The Hundred Flowers Sword Finger technique was activated once again.

shhhhhhhh!

The pink sword energy pierced through the crowd, precisely cutting through their necks as easily as chopping grass. Ye Kang didn't even turn around before more than a dozen corpses lay on the dueling platform.

"Stop it all!"

Upon seeing this, Abbess Zixuan quickly stopped the remaining people.

Actually, there weren't many people left. The Giant Wolf Gang only had about thirty people in total. After this wave of attacks, only a dozen or so of the weakest disciples were left who didn't have time to jump onto the dueling platform and escaped with their lives.

Master Zixuan and Zheng Jiantong were sweating profusely. They weren't stupid. If Ye Kang could kill Luan Xiong in an instant, he could kill them in an instant too. Wouldn't rushing in be a waste of time?

They dared not act rashly, but Ye Kang was different.

Killing Luan Xiong would have been enough, but these people dared to come and deliver themselves, so we can't let it go like this.

He turned and glared at the group of martial artists, his aura as a half-step Xiantian instantly erupting, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

"Life and death are irrelevant on the sword-fighting platform, that's what you said, so what, are you all going to attack me together?"

Ye Kang's extremely cold voice pierced through the entire dueling arena.

Master Zixuan and Zheng Jiantong quickly came out to apologize.

"Lord Ye, you are wise! This attack was caused by the death of Chief Luan, which aroused the anger of the Giant Wolf Gang disciples. It has absolutely nothing to do with us!"

Zheng Jiantong also said, "Lord Ye's martial arts are superb, and our Giant Sword Sect has absolutely no intention of being his enemy!"

In short, they first distanced themselves from their own sect.

Ye Kang sneered.

"Since you all came together to invite me to a sword duel, you're in cahoots. It's not impossible for me to go back and report this to the Imperial City Guard and lead troops to wipe out your three major sects!"

Upon hearing this, both Master Zixuan and Zheng Jian were stunned.

"Lord Ye, this matter absolutely cannot have come to this!"

“That’s right, sir. I, Zheng Jiantong, would very much like to befriend Lord Ye. Here is a 10,000 tael silver note. Please accept it!”

Zheng Jiantong, being quite perceptive, immediately took out a stack of silver notes.

Ye Kang continued to sneer: "You think you can make friends with just ten thousand taels?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jiantong's face twitched.

That bastard is extorting me!

He could only look at his fellow disciples and nephews behind him.

Everyone pooled their money and took out all the silver they had on them.

"Sir, we only have five thousand taels left. That's all we have. We're really done!"

Upon seeing this, Abbess Zixuan immediately gave a wink to the disciples behind her.

Soon, she also took out a stack of silver notes and said, "Lord Ye, we from the Zixia Sect are in a hurry and only have eight thousand taels on us. Please don't find it too much."

Ye Kang accepted the silver note and immediately smiled.

"As expected of a great hero, you know your place. Let's let this matter rest for today, and perhaps we'll meet again someday."

After saying that, Ye Kang left directly.

Zhou Ying quickly followed, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Lord Ye! I never knew you were so amazing!"

Ye Kang laughed heartily and said, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key. Here, this one is for you. Everyone who sees it gets a share."

"Two thousand taels! That's too much, I can't accept it!"

"It's alright. Silver is just a number to me. If you think it's too much, just give a thousand taels to Qiu Niang at Zui Chun Lou. She did a lot of work this time, so she should get a share."

"Don't worry, Lord Ye! I will definitely deliver it!"

……

the other side.

Watching Ye Kang's departing figure, the martial artists from the three major sects finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"See you again someday, my dear grandma!"

Zheng Jiantong cursed under his breath and left with his disciples.

There was nothing I could do; I had no money left and had to return to my sect.

Master Zixuan could only sigh as she looked at the weeping and wailing disciples of the Giant Wolf Gang.

The three major factions have truly run into a brick wall this time. The Zixia Faction is already extremely fortunate to have been able to spend money to avoid disaster.

Enough, let's go back to the mountain gate.

The warriors scattered, leaving only a pool of blood.

Meanwhile, this news was spread by those with ulterior motives, and within a few days, the story of Ye Kang single-handedly intimidating the three major sects spread throughout Jiangping Prefecture.

……

Ye Kang, meanwhile, had already led his men, escorting Dai Huanhuan, back to the Imperial City Guard.

Dai Huanhuan was thrown into the death row without trial and placed in cell 007 of the Xuanjie prison.

Fortunately, with Ye Kang around, she didn't experience any torture.

Ye Kang immediately reported to Leng Ruyi.

"Lord Leng, I have successfully completed the mission and have fulfilled my mission."

Leng Ruyi was writing a document. Without looking up, she casually said, "Okay, I understand."

Is this gone?

What about rewards?

Ye Kang was completely baffled.

Seeing that Ye Kang was not leaving, Leng Ruyi looked up and said, "He Zhi has already told me what happened. Commander Ye did a good job. Tonight, you will come to the palace with me. Consort Jing said she would personally reward you."

"As ordered."

Although Ye Kang looked completely bewildered, he immediately agreed.

I never expected that I would be going to the palace. Although I won't be meeting the Emperor, it would be nice to see the Imperial Concubine.

Ye Kang also took the time to find out more.

Nowadays, in the palace, besides the reigning emperor, there is one empress and two concubines, wielding considerable power.

Consort Jing was one of them; it could be said that the entire Imperial City Guard was composed of Consort Jing's loyal followers.

Therefore, seeing Consort Jing was equivalent to seeing one's superior.

I'm a little nervous just thinking about it.

Soon, night fell.

Ye Kang followed Leng Ruyi, riding a fast horse, and arrived at the palace gate.

A eunuch was already waiting in front of the palace gate.

Upon seeing the two, the eunuch said in a shrill voice, "Lord Leng, Consort Jing has been waiting for you for a long time."

Leng Ruyi also said respectfully, "I am very busy with official duties and really cannot spare the time. I am sorry to trouble you, Eunuch Fei."

Eunuch Fei glanced at Ye Kang.

"The imperial palace is a sacred place; no weapons are allowed inside."

Ye Kang tactfully handed over his sword before following Eunuch Fei into the palace.

Soon, they arrived at a magnificent palace.

"Please wait a moment, I will go and inform them first."
