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

"You lackey of the imperial court! Take this!"

Bai Daqing didn't recognize Ye Kang, but he was already burning with rage and would kill anyone he caught.

In his eyes, with his strength, as long as he didn't clash with Zhu Cong, he could rest easy and kill anyone he saw.

However, in Ye Kang's eyes...

His knife wasn't fast enough.

A sonorous sound!

Ye Kang drew his sword and struck with the back of the blade, easily blocking the attack.

Bai Daqing's blade was punched and a huge nick appeared. If it weren't for the fact that his blade was specially made and had higher strength, it would have broken in one blow.

Even so, he was still startled.

"Who are you! How could you draw your sword so quickly!"

Ye Kang did not speak, but instead unleashed his Vajra Wrath on the spot.

A burst of Buddhist light transformed into palm shadows and slammed out.

Bai Daqing immediately swung his sword to shatter the palm shadow, but the Vajra's rage was powerful, and each strike forced Bai Daqing to retreat continuously.

"Buddhist martial arts! You come from Buddhism!"

Bai Daqing had already determined Ye Kang's background and had a plan in mind.

Buddhist martial arts are powerful, but they lack killing intent.

He had already mastered the White Tiger Slaying Blade to the third level. With his killing intent concentrated at a single point, he was certain that he could shatter his Vajra True Qi!

Thinking of this, Bai Daqing held the knife in both hands and poured his true energy into it.

White Tiger Breaks the Killing Knife!

A tiger's roar resounded, and the blade transformed into a white tiger, converging into a single point and piercing through.

Ye Kang smiled dismissively.

"I can also use the White Tiger Slaying Blade."

He mobilized his inner energy, unleashing a powerful strike with his sword.

The two white tigers appeared at the same time and collided in an instant, kicking up a layer of dust.

Bai Daqing was completely dumbfounded.

"How is this possible! Who is this person?! How do they know the White Tiger Slaying Blade!"

Before he could react, boundless sword intent swept over him, directly shattering his sword energy.

Poof!

Bai Daqing coughed up blood and flew backward, his eyes filled with terror.

"Third level, Great Perfection! Top-tier expert! Who exactly are you?!"

Bai Daqing was frightened.

Unexpectedly, this young man in front of me has mastered the White Tiger Slaying Blade even better than I have. Could this person be a traitor to the White Tiger Gang?

This is impossible.

Bai Daqing was certain that the White Tiger Gang had never had such a person.

Then there is only one possibility.

"You scoundrel! How dare you steal the martial arts of my White Tiger Gang!"

"Steal your grandpa!"

Ye Kang showed no mercy, leaping up and unleashing several more slashes.

Bai Daqing hastily defended himself, but the gap between a first-rate expert and a top-tier expert quickly became apparent.

After less than ten cuts, Bai Daqing began vomiting blood, having already suffered several cuts.

Seeing that things were going badly, he quickly retreated, trying to find someone to help him.

Unfortunately, his lightness skill was far inferior to his swordsmanship.

Ye Kang, with the Flying Centipede's Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds technique, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and like a nimble swallow, quickly darted behind Bai Daqing.

With a sudden slash, a head flew high into the air.

The former leader of the White Tiger Gang met his tragic end at the hands of Ye Kang.

【Ding】

[Slay one top-tier expert, reward 500 Enlightenment Points]

……

"Gang leader!"

A series of mournful cries rang out.

With Bai Daqing dead, the White Tiger Gang immediately fell into disarray.

The remaining experts did not hesitate and turned to run.

However, Zhu Cong's trusted confidants were no pushovers either; they were all top-notch fighters. As soon as their opponents fled, they seized the opportunity and succeeded one by one.

A battle of warriors.

Once the expert dies, the remaining people are like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, utterly vulnerable.

The elite guards of the Imperial City Guard acted with impunity, killing anyone they saw.

Seeing this scene from afar, Bai Mulin, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Zhu Cong, roared in anger and grief, and unleashed his full power to attack Zhu Cong.

This was a real hardship for Lord Zhu. He was already outmatched, and facing the crazed Bai Mulin, he suffered repeated defeats and was badly injured.

Fortunately, Bai Mulin was already halfway to the grave, so he could only exert about 60-70% of his strength.

After Zhu Cong's trusted experts joined the battle, he lost his advantage and was eventually cut in two by Lord Zhu after a fierce battle.

Ye Kang did not participate in the siege. He did not oppose the extermination of the entire family, but he did not want to help Zhu Cong.

Killing Bai Daqing alone is enough.

Ye Kang switched to spectator mode, mounted his horse, wiped his sword, and refrained from attacking.

The Imperial City Guard killed people faster than he had imagined.

Soon, the White Tiger Gang was left dead, not a single member survived.

【Ding】

Mission Completed: Annihilate the White Tiger Gang

[The host is rewarded with 1500 points of Enlightenment]

mission completed.

Ye Kang broke through on horseback.

【Ding】

[The host has consumed 1500 Enlightenment Points to comprehend the fourth level of the White Tiger Slaying Blade Technique, reaching its peak.]

Ye Kang closed his eyes slightly, and a series of images flashed before his eyes.

He swung his sword, swung his sword, and swung his sword endlessly for eighty years, finally perfecting his swordsmanship.

Ye Kang opened his eyes, and his aura suddenly rose.

He brought up the properties panel.

[Host: Ye Kang]

[Strength: Top-tier expert]

[Remaining Comprehension: 500]

[Friendly reminder: Due to the limitations of internal energy, the host's strength is suppressed.]

"Suppressed again?"

Ye Kang frowned.

As expected, the beginner's understanding of the Yi Wood Heart Sutra was still a step behind.

I need to practice more.

After examining it, he discovered that the Yi Wood Heart Sutra required 2000 points of enlightenment from beginner to mastery!

There's no other way but to put it on hold for now.

My top-tier strength is enough for now; at least I'm not afraid of Zhu Cong anymore.

Ye Kang felt quite content and took a rest.

Soon, Zhu Cong's men began to count the spoils of war.

There's no time for rest anymore, so Ye Kang immediately went to supervise.

At this point, Zhu Cong was also seriously injured, with at least seven knife wounds on his body, wrapped in bandages again and again. He was no longer able to care about Ye Kang.

By evening, the elite guards of the Imperial City Guard had thoroughly searched the White Tiger Gang's territory, looting countless amounts of gold and silver.

The corpses were piled up together, and a fire was set, burning the entire White Tiger Gang manor to the ground.

Flames raged overhead as Ye Kang and Zhu Cong rode side by side on horseback.

Under Zhu Cong's arrangement, the matter was handled very well.

Fortunately, this place is right under the imperial city wall, where there are no major martial arts sects. Only the Imperial City Guard knows what happened to the White Tiger Gang.

A trusted confidant rode over on horseback to report.

"Your Excellency, the rebels' assets have been inventoried. What should be done with them?"

Zhu Cong glanced at Ye Kang.

"Send three thousand taels to Lord Leng's residence, one thousand taels to Lord Zhang's residence, and ten thousand taels. Half of them will go to my residence, and half to Commander Ye's residence. As for the remaining few thousand taels, brothers, you've worked hard, so divide them among yourselves. In addition, there are one thousand taels left. Add all the property deeds and land deeds of the White Tiger Gang, write a report, and hand them over to the national treasury."

Lord Zhu's skillful allocation of tasks clearly indicates he's an experienced professional.

The trusted confidant noted everything down and left happily.

In fact, there were more than just a few thousand taels left, including various jewels. Lord Zhu's unspoken meaning was that the brothers should each take what they needed, and he would not interfere.

As soon as they lay down, every brother received a sum of money. Who wouldn't be happy?

Ye Kang listened, completely stunned.

"Lord Zhu, shall we just hand over one thousand taels to the national treasury?"

Lord Zhu touched his nose.

"The White Tiger Gang's business isn't big, and the manor caught fire. This thousand taels of silver is already what we managed to salvage. Besides, we also have the land deeds and house deeds, so it's enough."

Niu Ben!

Ye Kang exclaimed that he had learned something.

After all, Zhu Cong was quite sensible, and directly transferred 5000 taels to him, which was more than what was given to Lord Leng.

There's not much more to say.

Zhu Cong, however, held Ye Kang in higher regard.

"Commander Ye, I never expected you to be a top-tier expert. Your heroic feat of beheading Bai Daqing today was truly unexpected."

Ye Kang smiled.

"It's just good luck. Lord Zhu is the one with real strength. It's a blessing for the court to have you in the Imperial City Guard."

The two looked at each other and laughed.
