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

The newcomers were naturally the two masked men who had previously competed with Ye Kang for the mission.

Their horses weren't as powerful as Ye Kang's prized steed, so they arrived a step later.

However, in order to complete the mission, the two of them didn't bother to investigate and barged into the town directly.

Following the lights, the two quickly arrived at the restaurant, where they were startled.

"so many people!"

"What's going on!"

Both of them were shocked by the bizarre scene in front of the restaurant, and then they sensed the aura of the old man on the roof, who was a sixth-grade innate cultivator, and immediately became vigilant.

"As expected of barbarians from the southern border; such behavior is utterly depraved!"

One of them shouted angrily, then looked at the masked man next to him.

"Brother, it seems we can't fight anymore. We can only join forces and retreat first."

The other person nodded silently, his brows furrowed.

There was no other way; the two of them considered themselves quite strong. If it were just the old man alone, the two of them working together wouldn't be without a chance.

But the other side still has so many men; a direct confrontation would mean certain death.

Both were seasoned veterans; they tacitly turned their horses around and prepared to retreat.

The old man on the rooftop snorted coldly.

"Since we're here, there's no need to leave. Kill them."

"Follow the order!"

Six people immediately leaped down and attacked the two.

A major battle was inevitable, and the group instantly became embroiled in combat.

The two masked men were not afraid. Instead, they fought and retreated, and for a time, swords flashed and various martial arts techniques were used.

"Beware of their poisonous Gu!"

"You don't need to say any more, hurry up and figure out a way to get away!"

"Damn it! There's still one left, why is it taking so long to arrive!"

The two men started blaming Ye Kang as they fought.

If the three of them had attacked together, they certainly wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

Mr. Kang (Ye Kang) looked helpless from a distance.

These two are really reckless. Perhaps the tasks they did before were too easy, so they became careless and didn't expect there to be so many experts from the Southern Frontier here.

Fine, let them keep those six people occupied.

Ye Kang turned to look at the Southern Xinjiang woman not far from him. Interrupted by the two people, the Southern Xinjiang people had forgotten to attack him.

【Ding】

[Mission Issued: Rescue Guyun Town]

[Task Reward: Comprehension]

Just then, a mission came up.

You're welcome then.

Ye Kang smiled quietly, and the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi flew out with a flick of his finger, instantly approaching the woman. The latter was startled by the sudden attack and immediately took down the two round short weapons from her waist.

Clang clang!

The woman had just barely managed to block the incoming sword energy and was letting out a sigh of relief when she heard a loud shout from upstairs.

"Watch your back!"

Her eyes widened, and without hesitation, she swung her weapon backward.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Ye Kang used the Shadow Step to teleport behind her like a ghost, slashing horizontally with his demonic blade and unleashing a terrifying burst of fiery blade energy.

In her desperation, the woman didn't forget to use a Gu poison. The Gu worms were burned away by the blazing sword energy. Then, the blade collided with the strange short weapon, and the immense force snapped it in two.

The knife tip also plunged into the woman's throat at the same time, cutting it halfway in.

The saying "an inch longer, a stronger body" applies here. Before the woman could even react, only a thin layer of skin remained at the junction of her head and neck.

Everyone on the rooftop was stunned as they watched her fall to the ground in despair.

"Kang Lin! How dare you slaughter your own people!"

A loud shout echoed throughout the ancient town, and the two masked men, who were retreating steadily, were overjoyed at the sight.

"They're fighting amongst themselves! Hold on!"

The two were suddenly filled with fighting spirit and fought back against the six men.

Ye Kang had already leaped onto the other rooftop, his blade pointed directly at the remaining people.

“I am acting on the orders of the Holy Maiden. Now that you have discovered the Holy Maiden’s secret, you cannot be allowed to live.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on the other side turned ashen with anger.

"You're so loyal to that bitch! What has she given you in return?!"

One person was furious, while the others looked puzzled.

"Something's not right. Kang Lin is of average talent, how could he possibly have such strength?"

"Could it be that the Holy Maiden gave him the Nine Sacred Gu?"

"Only the Nine Sacred Gu can allow a person to increase their strength so much in such a short time, it must be so!"

"That vile woman has committed such a traitorous act! Luo Gang, go back immediately and report to the Grand Elder! Expose that vile woman's evil deeds!"

One of the third-grade innate cultivators received the order and immediately ran backward, disappearing into the night.

Ye Kang smiled and didn't chase after him, letting him go back to report the news.

If my fabricated story could sow discord among the rebels in the southern border regions, it might not be such a bad thing.

He no longer held back; the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi roared out, and the sky filled with pink sword energy that stunned the people opposite him.

"What kind of martial art is this?!"

"Something's not right! Kang Lin only knows how to use a sword, he never practices with a knife, he's not Kang Lin! Quickly call Luo Gang back!"

The strongest elder finally realized what was happening and hurriedly tried to call back the person who had escaped.

However, the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi had already blocked their escape route and incidentally killed two first-grade innate martial artists.

"It's too late to realize it now."

Ye Kang sneered and unleashed the ultimate attack of the Heavenly White Tiger Slaying Blade, combined with dozens of Hundred Flower Sword Qi, instantly blowing the entire roof off.

The townspeople cried out in terror, nearly dying of fright, but they couldn't stop and continued to act on instinct.

Ignoring them, Ye Kang used Shadow Step to take the head of a second-grade Innate Realm cultivator in an instant. At the same time, his Hundred Flowers Sword Finger formed a huge sword array, turning the other two Southern Border Gu people into sieves.

The difference in strength was too great; Ye Kang didn't even need to take them seriously.

At this moment, only the sixth-rank elder remained. He looked at Ye Kang with utter shock and bewilderment on his face.

Is this guy only a sixth-rank official?

I'm also a sixth-rank, how come I'm not this powerful!

Before he could figure it out, Ye Kang had already charged forward with his knife. Seeing that things were not going well, the old man swept his cane, and his true energy roared out, turning into gusts of wind that swept away the strange sword energy around him.

The gale collided with Ye Kang, but it couldn't shake him at all; in fact, it had no effect whatsoever!

Ye Kang's physical body was too strong. He had tempered his body with demonic techniques, and the gale he unleashed at the sixth rank was no different from an ordinary breeze.

But the old man was not disappointed; instead, he revealed a wicked smile.

"My true energy contains thousands of Gu worms. Once they enter your body, you will surely die!"

Sure enough, as Ye Kang passed through the gale, he suddenly felt a strange sensation on his body. Tiny, invisible insects pounced on him and quickly burrowed into his clothes, trying to penetrate his flesh.

With a thought, Ye Kang activated the Catfish Demon Suppressing Water Technique at full power, and ink patterns covered his entire body.

With the power of the Catfish Demon, it sealed the heavens and earth, suppressing itself!

In an instant, Ye Kang's physical body was strengthened once again, and most of the Gu worms could not even penetrate his skin, let alone burrow into his blood.
