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

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Dance Before Battle]

[The host has gained fame on the battlefield, earning countless reputation points and a reward of 5000 Comprehension Points]

……

Swish swish!

The system emitted a sound of gold coins popping.

The comprehension bar instantly jumped from 4000 to 9000.

Ye Kang was overjoyed, never expecting the system to be so generous this time, giving him a huge reward.

Without hesitation, let's directly enhance our strength!

"System, comprehend the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique!"

【Ding】

[The host has consumed 5000 comprehension points to comprehend the first level of the innate martial art, the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Skill.]

In an instant, Ye Kang seemed to sit on the throne of an emperor, with all nations paying tribute and the country at peace.

After meditating deep within the dragon vein for ten years, the dragon's energy entered his body, bringing national fortune to him. With the power of the dynasty, he could reach the heavens with a single finger.

Successfully completed the first level of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Skill.

Ye Kang took a deep breath, and golden true energy emanated from his arm. Just by looking at it, one could feel the boundless domineering intent within.

This is the ultimate domineering power that gentle Yi Wood True Qi can never achieve; it is the dragon-controlling power of the former imperial family.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, your strength has improved to the second rank of the Innate Realm]

The system beeped again, announcing a significant boost in strength.

At the second level of the Innate Realm, the five senses are enhanced once again, and the true energy expands by at least two times.

With a thought, Ye Kang saw the chaotic battlefield unfold before his eyes.

He saw Jin Baobei and Lin Hanzhi rushing to the scene, he saw the soldiers defending the city fighting a bloody battle, and he saw the bandits fleeing in disarray...

suddenly!

Ye Kang saw a golden longsword soaring into the sky.

He was slightly taken aback. Amidst the chaotic bandit crowd, a man wearing a hood and a gray robe stood there steadily, carrying an ancient long knife.

He stared intently at Ye Kang, remaining motionless.

The fleeing bandits seemed to ignore him, automatically moving away from his position, which looked very strange.

But Ye Kang understood.

It's not that they can't see, but that their strength is too low to get close at all.

That man with the knife was also a master of the second rank of the Innate Realm!

Ye Kang felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of lingering fear washing over him.

Fortunately fortunately.

I used my comprehension skill without hesitation. If I had tried to save a little, I wouldn't have even noticed that guy, and I wouldn't have known how he died.

But at the same time, Ye Kang also felt somewhat fortunate.

Having just entered the second rank of the Innate Realm, I already have an opponent of the same level. It's a good opportunity to test my strength!

Ye Kang looked at the man, and their eyes met. At the same time, they saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

The person wielding the knife was none other than Pei Wanchun, the strongest member of the Golden Knife Sect and its leader.

He was the only member of a sect who had infiltrated the bandits, and he had only one purpose.

Kill Ye Kang!

To avenge Elder Huo and all the disciples who died tragically!

Pei Wanchun originally intended to kill Ye Kang when he wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

How can this be?

He clearly didn't notice anything just now, could it be that I revealed my presence?

Pei Wanchun couldn't understand it, nor did he bother to think about it.

There are also differences between people from birth.

No matter what strange things Ye Kang might have, he will surely perish by his own blade today.

At this moment, Jinbaobei and Lin Hanzhi also arrived at Ye Kang's side.

"Senior Ye!"

"Lord Ye! Are you alright?"

The two spoke at the same time and looked at each other in surprise.

Ye Kang waved his hand to stop the two from moving forward.

"stay away from me."

After saying that, Ye Kang flew off his horse, drew his long sword in mid-air, and headed straight for Pei Wanchun.

The latter smiled and slowly drew his ancient-looking broadsword.

"You're not qualified to fight me."

Pei Wanchun instantly became ruthless, swinging his broadsword and unleashing a powerful slash that sliced ​​a group of bandits in half.

A giant blade of energy formed an arc and slashed rapidly toward Ye Kang.

Everyone's attention was drawn to this horrific scene.

"That's Pei Wanchun from the Golden Saber Sect! Why is he here?!"

Before he could even be surprised, Ye Kang had already raised his swords with both hands, transforming into a white tiger in mid-air, and unleashed his strongest White Tiger Slaying Blade strike with all his might.

With a loud bang, the blades clashed, and ripples spread out visibly, cutting down another group of bandits.

Ye Kang was completely unaffected and continued charging towards Pei Wanchun, whose expression finally turned serious.

"You actually managed to block one of my attacks? You're not a first-grade innate cultivator!"

"It's a bit too late to find out now."

Ye Kang's figure flashed in an instant, slashing at Pei Wanchun's left arm with his sword.

The latter blocked with his knife, and was sent flying dozens of steps.

But that was all. After Pei Wanchun stopped, he was not only unharmed, but he also leaped up and slashed down heavily with his broadsword, which emitted a golden light.

Ye Kang dared not be negligent and activated the Yi Wood Heart Sutra with all his might, forcefully chopping it down.

With a clang, the force of the impact shattered Ye Kang's knife, leaving a shallow cut on his face.

The two landed, and Pei Wanchun's expression exuded arrogance.

"Lord Ye, I really underestimated you. A master of the second rank of the Innate Realm, you have been hiding your true strength. It's a pity that your sword is too ordinary. You are still not qualified to fight me."

Pei Wanchun placed his broadsword on the ground, and a wave of blade energy emanated from it, raising clouds of dust.

From a distance, Jin Baobei watched this scene and said with some worry, "That is the Golden Saber, the legacy of the Golden Saber Sect. Senior Ye has no weapon that can compare to it."

Immediately, Lin Hanzhi also felt a pang of anxiety.

However, Ye Kang was not worried.

He casually picked up a long sword from the ground, wiped off the dust, and said, "Are you the leader of the Golden Saber Sect?"

Pei Wanchun nodded.

“Indeed, I was supposed to ambush the Ninth Princess elsewhere today, but I still came here specifically to kill you. You have every reason to be proud.”

"You mean...ambush the Ninth Princess?"

Ye Kang suddenly looked up, and an overwhelming killing intent locked onto Pei Wanchun.

Is the Ninth Princess not in the city, but somewhere else?

This is extremely bad. If something happens to the princess, how can he get promoted and make a fortune!

Ye Kang's aura suddenly surged.

"Fine, fine, I wasted my time here with you. What a blunder. You can go die now."

After Ye Kang finished speaking, he withdrew the green true energy from his body and slowly activated another mental cultivation technique.

In the fight just now, Ye Kang still used the Yi Mu Heart Sutra, and was able to barely fight Pei Wanchun to a draw.

Now, Ye Kangcai is truly activating the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique for the first time.

Instantly, golden true energy appeared on his body, like a golden starry sky, constantly rotating and evolving behind him.

At the same time, the soaring momentum also made Pei Wanchun's heart pound with fear.

"This is impossible! What level of martial arts is this?! It's making me feel alarmed! No, I must finish this quickly!"

Without hesitation, Pei Wanchun swung his sword horizontally.

Ye Kang enveloped his longsword in golden true energy, and with a flash of lightning, he swiftly slashed at it.

At this moment, Ye Kang felt his internal energy surging violently, like a giant tiger breaking free of its cage, ready to tear everything in front of it apart.

This strike embodies the supreme domineering intent of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Skill, unmatched throughout the world.

Boom!

Pei Wanchun was cleaved away by the sword, which struck his own chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Pei Wanchun's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.

Why has this person's internal strength suddenly become so strong!

What kind of domineering martial art is this that can suppress my internal energy so completely!

Indeed, once Ye Kang activated the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Reaching Skill, Pei Wanchun's internal energy cultivation method was suddenly suppressed by a domineering aura, and the power he could exert was less than 80% of his usual strength.

This is the absolute suppression of martial arts, the most terrifying internal strength crushing power in the martial arts world!

At this moment, Pei Wanchun had the idea of ​​retreating.

Perhaps he shouldn't have come to kill Ye Kang. Wouldn't it have been better for him to just obediently follow Mr. Buyi?

The instant Pei Wanchun retreated, Ye Kang rushed over, wielding his long sword continuously.

With the enhancement of the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Skill, the White Tiger Slaying Blade unleashed golden tiger shadows, its power increasing several times over!

This is the Heaven-Reaching White Tiger Slaying Blade!

It's absolute domination! Slaughter! Unparalleled tyranny!

"Break it for me!"

Ye Kang roared, and the violent sword energy finally shattered Pei Wanchun's true energy defense, tearing his body apart in the opponent's incredulous gaze.

The true energy was withdrawn, and the area where the two fought was now an empty space. All the bandits in the surrounding area had died in the aftershocks, at least several hundred of them.

Pei Wanchun's body turned into a pool of blood mist, with only the golden knife falling heavily to the ground.

Ye Kang picked up the golden knife and weighed it in his hand.

"It's too heavy and too big, and it doesn't suit my style, but I'll use it once for now."

Ye Kang looked into the distance.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Ninth Princess should be over there.
