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

Ye Kang left the Emperor's father-in-law's residence and quickly returned to the inn.

Just as he was about to return to his room, a slight noise in a nearby alley caught his attention.

He immediately concealed himself and quietly followed them.

In the dimly lit street, several men in black cautiously approached a secluded courtyard.

Ye Kang could tell from their furtive behavior that they were not good people.

As soon as these people entered the villa, a man dressed as a wealthy merchant came out to greet them.

"So, has the investigation been completed?"

"Go in and talk."

The leader of the men in black was very cautious. He went straight into the room, closed the door tightly, and left two men in black outside to guard the entrance.

Ye Kang wasn't in a hurry. He went around to the wall behind the room and activated his five senses to the fullest extent. His powerful hearing immediately allowed him to hear the conversation inside clearly.

"Everything has been investigated. After entering the city, that person checked into the Fulin Inn, and Jin Baobei followed behind him. It's confirmed without a doubt."

"Good! Elder Huo is outside the city. Tell him this message immediately, and our mission will be complete!"

Ye Kang's expression turned strange as he listened to their conversation.

Why does it feel like these people are talking about me?

Could it be that I was being watched as soon as I entered the city?

Ye Kang didn't have time to think it through, but he saw the man in black rushing towards the outside of the city.

He followed immediately.

Whoever it is, go and check the situation first.

Although the man in black was extremely cautious, the difference in strength was too great. He never expected that a master of innate level was right behind him.

Under the cover of darkness, the two flew out of the city wall one after the other.

The man in black then headed straight southeast.

After a brisk journey, they arrived at a place ten miles outside the city.

Suddenly, a burst of firelight appeared in the open field ahead.

In the firelight, the shadows of tents were cast.

The man in black flew to the front of the largest tent, knelt down on one knee, and whispered, "Elder Huo! This disciple has located that person."

The tent opened, and an old man with red hair and a red beard came out.

Without saying a word, he grabbed the man in black by the neck and lifted him up.

"Useless! You not only found them, but you also brought them here without even realizing it."

The man in black was speechless, but a look of terror flashed in his eyes.

There was a click.

Elder Huo showed no mercy, snapping his neck and tossing him away.

Then he looked in Ye Kang's direction.

"Come out. Do you think you can hide under my nose?"

At this moment, flames soared into the sky, and dozens of Golden Saber Sect disciples, wielding broadswords and torches, ran out simultaneously.

Ye Kang was not surprised.

He could tell at a glance that Elder Huo was also a first-grade innate master.

It's perfectly normal for the other party to be able to spot you.

Moreover, he had no intention of hiding it.

I came along to resolve this trouble.

Ye Kang, with his hands behind his back, said, "Who are you people, and why are you trying to find out about me?"

Elder Huo sneered, "You have quite the nerve, killing an elder of my Golden Saber Sect and still daring to be so arrogant."

"So you were a master from the Golden Saber Sect. It's normal for someone in the martial arts world to be killed because of their lack of skill. It's really unreasonable to blame me like this."

Ye Kang smiled, his fighting spirit surging.

This is the first time I've faced a fellow master of the Innate Realm. As a martial artist, one must constantly fight against stronger opponents.

At the same time, the system voice also sounded.

【Ding】

[Mission issued: Kill Elder Fire]

[Task Reward: 2000 Comprehension Points]

The mission has finally arrived, and now we absolutely have to fight it.

Ye Kang walked straight ahead.

Seeing Ye Kang's arrogance, Elder Huo immediately unleashed boundless killing intent.

"Boy, whether you're a lackey of the imperial court or not, tonight is your death night. You should only blame yourself for killing Wang Hai!"

"Here comes the knife!"

Elder Huo shouted, and a broadsword was thrown over.

He caught the broadsword and cleaved it with force.

A wave of flame, accompanied by sword energy, pierced through the air.

"It's just a small trick."

Ye Kang didn't even look. With a slight movement of his fingers, the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi shot out, easily deflecting the Fiery Wave. A loud boom erupted in mid-air.

Elder Huo narrowed his eyes: "Sword energy leaving the body, what kind of sword technique is this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another burst of Hundred Flowers Sword Qi was unleashed, but its target was an ordinary disciple of the Golden Saber Sect standing to the side.

With a whoosh, the man was completely unaware as the sword energy exploded on his head.

Ye Kang appeared there at the same time, and with a tap of his toes, the large knife in the man's hand fell into Ye Kang's hand.

"Let me borrow your knife."

Upon seeing this, Elder Huo's body was enveloped in a surge of red true energy.

Bang!

His shirt ripped open, revealing incredibly ferocious muscles.

He then took a step forward, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Ye Kang.

The blade, carrying flames, slashed down swiftly.

"Die!"

Ye Kang reacted quickly, raising his sword to counterattack without hesitation.

Then a tremendous force pressed down on him, and at the same time, a ball of flame roared towards his face along the blade.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Kang immediately sheathed his sword and used the momentum to fly away.

This strike sent Ye Kang flying dozens of steps away; its power was the strongest he had ever faced.

Of course, only such strength could truly excite Ye Kang.

He activated the Yi Wood Heart Meridian with all his might, and the green true energy quickly regulated his disordered breathing.

"What incredible swordsmanship! It can actually unleash such a terrifying wave of flame!"

Ye Kang exclaimed in admiration.

Elder Huo sneered and said, "You're quite a character, actually withstanding my Fiery Blade without a scratch. I wonder how many more you can withstand."

"It's just swordsmanship, I know that too."

Ye Kang shouted, and a white tiger phantom appeared on his body. The giant tiger roared, its power shaking the mountains and forests.

The White Tiger Slaying Blade, which has been cultivated to the ultimate perfection, is so powerful that the mere killing aura emanating from it terrifies every disciple of the Golden Blade Sect.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously drew their swords, their white and red true energy clashing instantly.

The two then leaped out simultaneously and exchanged blows in mid-air.

This time, prepared, Ye Kang was not knocked away by the opponent's force, but caught steadily.

The White Tiger and the Blazing Flame clashed, unleashing a chaotic burst of sword energy that instantly swept across the surroundings, severely injuring several ordinary disciples.

The two stopped talking and just kept clashing their knives.

Bang bang bang bang!

The air was filled with the sound of metal clashing; the two swords clashed wildly dozens of times in just over ten breaths!

After the sword clash ended, the two were sent flying backwards at the same time. Ye Kang felt his arm go numb, his tiger's mouth was cracked, and his true energy was being consumed at an unprecedented rate. Even the Yi Wood Heart Sutra was starting to give out.

Of course, Elder Huo's condition wasn't much better either.

Rather, he was breathing even more heavily.

After all, each of his strikes unleashes a wave of flames, which, while visually impressive, requires a significant amount of true energy to generate.

After exchanging dozens of blows, Elder Huo's true energy was almost completely drained.

He had already given up.

"This person's internal strength is strange, and his true energy is more abundant than ever before. If we continue fighting, I will be the first to give out."

At this moment, the long sword in Ye Kang's hand suddenly shattered and turned into scrap metal.

Both of them were taken aback.

No wonder, an ordinary longsword is no match for Elder Huo's sword. If Ye Kang hadn't kept it wrapped in his true energy, it would probably have been cut in two with the first strike.

It's a miracle that it lasted this long before breaking.

Upon seeing this, Elder Huo burst into laughter.

He can do it again!

"Kid, you don't even have a knife anymore, what are you going to use to fight me! Die!"
