On the first level of the death row, chilling screams echoed throughout the entire prison.
Many prisoners huddled in the corner, their faces showing fear.
"This new guy is surprisingly skilled at using torture..."
The prisoners kept quiet, afraid of being implicated.
……
The screams lasted for a while before finally stopping.
Ye Kang dropped the large scissors in his hand and wiped the blood off his hands with a handkerchief from his waist.
It was my first time using torture, and I was a little nervous.
But if we're about to lose our lives, if we don't act ruthlessly, are we really just waiting to die?
He looked toward the exit of the cell.
He spent half a day using vigilante justice, and not a single person came to stop him.
This means that those old prison guards must have left long ago.
This confirms my earlier guess.
He had become a pawn to be discarded.
Fortunately, it wasn't all for nothing.
Ye Kang looked into the cell and saw the big monk who had been tortured beyond recognition.
This guy is pretty tough; he held out until the very end before revealing his martial arts techniques.
"Relying on yourself is worse than relying on anyone else, great monk. If I survive until tomorrow night, I'll give you an extra chicken leg."
Ye Kang smiled as he closed the cell.
The senior monk, dragging his body like a dead dog, struggled to open his mouth.
"You have to die!"
The senior monk was suffering.
He just wanted to use this rookie to escape from prison, but he didn't expect this guy to be a madman!
What's the point of torturing me!
Even if I told you the internal energy cultivation method, could you learn it in such a short time?
"Damn it, I ran into some hothead, son of a bitch! If I ever get out of here, I'll skin you alive, rip out your heart and liver to eat with my wine!"
……
Ignoring the monk's angry curses, Ye Kang lowered his head and went to an unused cell.
"System, was the martial arts recording successful?"
Ye Kang asked in his heart.
[Ding! Detected Buddhist martial art Vajra Wrath]
[Vajra Wrath: Common Martial Art]
[To attain perfect enlightenment, 500 points of comprehension are required. Should I study this?]
"study!"
Ye Kang did not hesitate.
The system is so convenient; the monk only had to verbally recite the mental techniques once, and the system automatically recorded the martial art.
Although it requires consuming all one's comprehension to achieve perfection, and it is quite expensive, preserving one's life is the most important thing.
Then Ye Kang saw his comprehension level drop from 500 to 0, and suddenly a burst of Buddhist light appeared above his head.
In an instant, Ye Kang felt as if he were in a magnificent Buddhist temple.
Daily chanting of scriptures, diligent study, striking the wooden fish, and ringing the large bell...
Finally, he received the Vajra Wrathful Intent from his master, practiced diligently for ten years, and reached perfection...
【Ding】
[The Great Perfection of Vajra Wrathful Intent]
[Host's current strength: Top-tier second-rate expert]
A whoosh.
Ye Kang let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
He clasped his hands together, and a divine image of his Dharma body faintly appeared behind him. His Vajra inner strength almost solidified into a physical form, making him appear like a deity.
This is Buddhist martial arts, its golden light shining everywhere, guiding and enlightening all beings.
"Is this what it feels like to become a master? Nothing special, is it?"
Ye Kang muttered something to himself, then slammed his palm against the prison door.
With a crack, the sturdy prison door shattered as easily as breaking tofu.
Ye Kang was shocked.
Good guy!
Even a second-rate master is this powerful; no wonder it's a Buddhist technique!
"It's all settled now. So you want to break into prison? Then let's see who the real scapegoat is!"
……
Day two.
day.
The residence of Zhu, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Guard.
A robust old man was enjoying tea and discussing philosophy with Deputy Commander Zhu.
"Commander Zhu, thank you all for your hard work this time. Once things are settled, I will repay you handsomely!"
The old man deliberately omitted the word "deputy" from his title, which secretly pleased Deputy Commander Zhu.
But he remained serious and spoke in a very unfriendly tone.
"Chief Bai, I also took a great risk in helping your son escape danger this time. Afterwards, another group of brothers will inevitably be dismissed and demoted. They all have families. The amount involved is not small."
Upon hearing this, the old man felt a pang of heartache.
It's just a way of asking for money, they make it sound so nice.
But there was no other way. If he didn't satisfy the Imperial City Guard, his third son, who had been imprisoned for murdering an official's daughter, would surely be gone.
Thinking of this, the old man nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, I have already prepared five thousand taels of silver, and another three thousand taels were delivered to your wife yesterday."
A full eight thousand taels.
This is the lowest price you can pay to get someone out of death row.
Even many high-ranking officials of the imperial court could not come up with that much silver.
Deputy Commander Zhu nodded in satisfaction.
"Have the manpower arrangements been made? Although I have replaced the jailers, the death row is a matter of great importance, and I dare not make any mistakes."
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately patted his chest in affirmation.
"Rest assured, sir. The men who are taking action this time are all the elites of my sect, and my two sons are personally leading the team. There will be no problem dealing with a few prison guards!"
……
Sunset.
Dozens of dark figures quietly approached the death row.
They held pills in their mouths to dispel the poisonous miasma surrounding them.
As we walked along, we didn't see a single patrolling guard.
This is how Deputy Commander Zhu operates.
At the foot of the imperial city lie buried one sordid act after another.
At the same time, Ye Kang was also watching the group of men in black from the shadows.
He held his breath and observed carefully.
"One second-rate expert, seven or eight third-rate experts, what a grand display."
Having confirmed the opponent's strength, Ye Kang's killing intent intensified.
In order to break out of prison, they actually sent so many martial artists to silence witnesses.
Is there any royal method?
……
Night has completely fallen.
Time to get started.
A jailer sneaked up to the gate of the death row, opened the gate, and waved to the bushes outside.
"Come here quickly, get ready to attack!"
The men in black immediately drew their long swords and swiftly entered the death cell.
The jailer stayed at the door to keep watch.
Upon seeing this scene, Ye Kang, who was hiding in the shadows, was taken aback.
Xu Wenliang!
That guy was an inside man; no wonder he didn't talk to me yesterday.
Good heavens, the Imperial City Guard has become so despicable!
Ye Kang could no longer hold back.
He drew his long sword, leaped forward, and slashed at Xu Wenliang in the head.
Before Xu Wenliang could react when he saw Ye Kang, he felt a chill run down his neck.
"you…"
He opened his mouth slightly, his eyes widened, and his gaze was full of confusion.
The next moment, a brand new head flew high into the air and crashed heavily to the ground.
Ye Kang is now a top-tier second-rate expert. To kill a nobody, especially one who was ambushed, would naturally be a fatal blow.
First time killing someone.
Ye Kang felt no discomfort, only endless anger.
A scapegoat! A conspiracy! Collusion with martial artists!
Most importantly, he actually wanted to die because of the very job he had just been granted!
The sin is unforgivable!
That night, the moon was full.
The wind blew, and the iron chains clanged.
Ye Kang hardened his heart, influenced by the Vajra's wrath, and his killing intent soared to the sky.
He closed the gates of the death row and walked toward the group of men in black.
……
Meanwhile, the men in black had already begun their killing spree.
The newly transferred prison guards were all second-rate martial artists, and they were completely powerless against these experts.
In the blink of an eye, half of the jailers had fallen into pools of blood.
The group stormed into the prison cell, and upon seeing this scene, all the prisoners erupted in cheers.
"Hero, save me!"
"Hero! Release me too!"
"Heroes from all walks of life, we are all people of the martial world. We committed this serious crime because we were oppressed by the imperial court. If you save my life, I will repay you!"
