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

Chapter 897 The Tiger-Slaying Hero, Old Six Suddenly Appears

"Have you noticed something's wrong? Too bad, it's too late."

Outside the formation, Ye Kang remained calm. With a thought, the Slowing Divine Swamp Formation of True Immortals continued to unleash its power.

Tiger King wanted nothing more than to tear this bastard to pieces, but his speed was infinitely slowed down, making him feel like a crawling insect, which was extremely frustrating.

At that moment, that annoying, super-strong hammer-wielding woman flew over again, seemingly tireless, and without hesitation slammed down her giant hammer.

The hammer, imbued with the true spirit of the World-Shaking Hammer, possessed astonishing power, and its surface emanated a chilling aura of blood, causing the Tiger Emperor to tremble with fear.

He could only open his mouth and roar, spitting out a white light wave that exploded in the air, like a dazzling meteor, covering everything.

The giant hammer swung, shattering all the meteor beams. Undeterred, Pang Jinchui raised his hands above his head and smashed down with all his might.

"roll!"

Tiger King roared and had no choice but to turn around. The tiger stripes that were about to dissipate suddenly became powerful again, and the defensive magic shield unfolded, colliding violently with the hammer.

However, this time, the force coming from the hammer was beyond his ability to withstand.

Soon, the protective plate completely dimmed, the defensive magic shield was completely shattered, and it could no longer be formed.

Because of the slowing formation, the Tiger King was unable to dodge and could only endure the remaining force once more.

With a loud crash, Tiger King's spine was almost broken, and he plummeted to the ground.

With a thought, Ye Kang formed a light wall, which caught the Tiger King while simultaneously slowing down the flow of energy into the formation.

Tiger King, already spitting blood from frustration, finally couldn't hold back and started cursing.

"You beast! Have the guts to fight me head-on! You're utterly despicable and shameless for resorting to such underhanded tactics!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Tiger King."

Ye Kang readily accepted the Tiger King's "praise." Then, without stopping, as the slowing array was activated, the bright moon shone and a gentle breeze blew. Pang Jinchui immediately felt his true energy being automatically replenished, and his previously tired body suddenly felt relaxed.

“That feels good.” She shifted her shoulders, then her eyes narrowed, and she swung the hammer again.

With the support of the protective array of the bright moon and gentle breeze, Pang Jinchui was like a perpetual motion machine, tireless at this moment.

Then came the mighty splitting of Mount Hua, the hammer crashing down, and the Tiger King gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

The Heavenly Tiger's罡光 (罡光 is a powerful aura that has lost its effectiveness), and he has no way to escape at this moment.

With a deafening roar, the Tiger King's body was once again reduced to minced meat.

"A second life."

Ye Kang spoke calmly, and then the Tiger King's body condensed back into form on the spot.

He was also blind in his right eye, his face was pale, his tiger fur was dull, and he looked listless.

Clearly, losing two lives in succession had depleted his reserves, and his combat power had plummeted.

All the pent-up frustration in my heart could only be summed up in one sentence: "You beast..."

This time, before Pang Jinchui could make a move, Ye Kang, who was already prepared, flicked his finger, and ten thousand pink sword lights fell like raindrops.

The Myriad Flowers Sword Finger shot out, its sharp energy constantly emitting a sound of tearing through the air, engulfing the Tiger King.

In just a moment, the tiger king's entire body was riddled with thorns, dripping with blood, and he was no longer alive.

Even his demonic soul was completely drained due to his two resurrections, and the Myriad Flower Sword Finger stirred up countless sword energies, shattering it at the same time.

Thus, the Three-Eyed Tiger King, who had killed countless people, was completely reduced to a gruesome corpse.

"A third life," Ye Kang said calmly.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Tiger-Slaying Hero]

[Host receives reward: 3000000 Comprehension]

Having secured the kill and gained the necessary insights, Ye Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, since you've already stolen someone's life, it would be impolite to then try to absorb the demon's soul yourself.

He looked at Pang Jinchui and said, "Miss Pang, here is the demon soul mark. Luo Xue and I will just divide the body."

Pang Jinchui was not polite at all and went up to take the mark.

Just then, a burst of wild laughter suddenly rang out from the horizon.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect you guys could actually take down this tiger. It was worth all the time I spent squatting here. I also want to thank you for getting the mark for me. You're all such good people!"

Ye Kang and the other two frowned and looked over at the same time. They saw a man wearing a black robe with a handsome face, but also revealing a hint of lewdness, suddenly flying from the horizon. He was incredibly fast and was about to reach Pang Jinchui in an instant to snatch the mark.

At that moment, everyone was taken aback.

Even the Holy Emperor and others who had been watching the battle were slightly taken aback.

"Kou Wuji..."

Everyone silently recited the name.

Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than Kou Wuji, one of the top ten, the number one genius of Wu Ri City, and a direct descendant of the Kou Tianwang Mansion.

Everyone frowned, looking at Wu Richeng's leader with some resentment.

The man, dressed as a middle-aged scholar, seemed oblivious to the strange looks he was receiving and continued drinking his tea.

In fact, many people present had heard of Kou Wuji's great name, and the reason was quite simple.

This guy is completely different from the mighty and indomitable King Kou, who is known for his unyielding fighting spirit.

Kou Tianwang is straightforward and never bothers with any schemes or tricks, while Kou Wuji is full of bad intentions and never hesitates to use all sorts of tricks. Moreover, his fighting style is extremely despicable, like a cunning old man.

For example, right now, he managed to sneak up on everyone and find himself squatting next to the Tiger King, watching from the sidelines.

He only jumped out to reap the rewards after the Tiger King had exhausted all three of his lives, which can be described as utterly shameless.

However, it must be admitted that although it is shameless, it is very useful.

Even Pang Jinchui was caught off guard and froze for a moment. Her little head really couldn't understand where this guy came from.

Only Ye Kang's eyes lit up; this man was truly talented!

Such forbearance, and such heaven-defying concealment techniques—my own primordial spirit didn't even detect his presence. He's practically a born sixth man, a role model for us all!

Unfortunately, while one can admire it, it's impossible to steal the demon soul mark.

With a thought, Ye Kang activated the last array that had remained unused until now.

The Great Array is Upside Down!

Stop right there!

With a loud boom, the power of the formation descended. Kou Wuji, who was moving at great speed, rushed in just then and was caught in the formation's power. He cried out "Ouch!" and fell over.

The change happened so fast that Kou Wuji hadn't even realized what was going on when his sense of direction was immediately disrupted, and he crashed headfirst into the cliff face next to him.

Blood flowed freely, rocks shattered, and countless strands of celestial silk rushed forward, about to capture the man.

However, Kou Wuji, being a seasoned veteran, instinctively told him, even though he didn't know what had happened, that there was danger!

Without hesitation, he used a teleportation technique, disappearing into the cliff face in an instant.

Everyone was stunned again.

"This guy also knows such advanced earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the earth) techniques!"

"That's so despicable! He must have learned this specifically to become the sixth brother!"

"The gecko shed its tail so decisively; this kid has truly disgraced King Kou."

Countless people shook their heads, feeling sorry that such a scoundrel had come from the Heavenly King's family.

Only Wu Richeng's leader smiled silently, his heart filled with disdain.

What do you know? King Kou treasures this great-grandson so much. He is an upright man who has suffered countless losses. He just hopes that someone in his family can be cunning. As a martial artist, how can he not be cunning?

Of course, Wu Richeng's team leader wouldn't dare say these things in public.

Inside the blessed land, Ye Kang and the other two exchanged bewildered glances.

Good guy!

What a talent!

He ran without any hesitation or slackness. If a martial artist had this kind of mental fortitude, he would succeed in anything.

The three ignored him and continued dividing the loot.

Pang Jinchui took the Demon Soul Mark, while Luo Xue, knowing she had contributed the least, only took one tiger bone and half a tendon from the Tiger King.

The rest were naturally taken by Ye Kang, including the remnant soul of the Tiger Emperor that was about to dissipate into the world.

The Demon Furnace swept away everything, leaving not a trace.

Ye Kang was also very decisive, saying to the two of them, "I need to go into seclusion to break through my cultivation level. I hope you two will protect me. I will be there soon."

Pang Jinchui nodded without hesitation. She seemed to hate thinking. Since she trusted Ye Kang, she simply gave up and listened to whatever he said.

Luo Xue found it rather strange.

It is normal to attain Nirvana in a blessed land, but there is no quick way to attain Nirvana, is there?

She didn't understand, but she didn't ask any further questions.

The three immediately flew down to the bottom of the cliff. With a swipe of her sword energy, Luo Xue eliminated the foul stench and the corpses left behind by the Tiger King.

Ye Kang chose an open space to sit down and focused his mind on the system.

"My remaining comprehension has reached 500 million again. Although only two days have passed since my last breakthrough, the Supreme Purity Heaven-Reaching Technique is extremely profound. It is constantly in operation and has already pushed my cultivation to the second stage of perfection. Breaking through now is of utmost urgency."

He silently chanted in his mind: "System, comprehend the Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique of Taiqing."

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, for successfully comprehending the Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique by consuming 3000000 points of Enlightenment.]

Suddenly, enlightenment struck, and countless insights flooded his mind.

Ye Kang closed his eyes and carefully digested the profound mystery of the Supreme Purity Heaven-Reaching Technique, which gradually unfolded before his eyes and soon brought him to the edge of the third stage.

Without hesitation, he immediately took out the body of the frog in the ice and performed a nirvana on the spot.

Pang Jinchui and Luo Xue were utterly astonished. What kind of good person would use a demon's corpse as a precious material?

Ye Kang moved with incredible speed. After his rebirth, he quickly unleashed true fire, refining the corpse of the ice frog and then completely absorbing it.

Boom!

The dense true energy and demonic energy mixed together, and Ye Kang's figure condensed again, while a long robe automatically draped over his shoulders.

The third nirvana has been achieved!

The speed was so fast that it completely stunned the two girls.

"Incredible, what kind of cultivation technique is this...?"

Luo Xue shook her head and sighed.

Ye Kang naturally didn't explain; he continued to sit cross-legged, sensing his third-stage cultivation.

With the blessing of heaven and earth, it is certain that one's cultivation will improve in all aspects.

Now his combat power has completely entered the late stage, and he is no longer afraid of seventh-level martial artists. Even eighth-level martial artists can hold their own.

Refining the Ice Frog also brought him a more powerful ice-type enhancement.

In particular, his resistance to cold has been greatly enhanced, and because he is a born demon spirit, Ye Kang feels that his understanding of heaven and earth has been elevated to a higher level, and his vision is incredibly clear, as if he can see through everything.

He took a deep breath and quickly stabilized his cultivation.

But he didn't stop; instead, he continued to look at the system panel.

I've been busy accumulating cultivation points lately and haven't improved my martial arts skills in a long time.

That won't do. Even with a foundation, if the pillars aren't stable, it will still collapse.

However, the Unforgivable Divine Spear was too conspicuous, and he probably wouldn't use it in the blessed land, so he set his sights on the Myriad Flower Sword Finger.

This martial art is very useful, and its power is considerable after being upgraded to Ten Thousand Sword Qi. When used at full power, it can even be used to fight against late-stage Nirvana cultivators.

Therefore, he no longer hesitated and silently chanted, "System, comprehend the Myriad Flower Sword Finger!"

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, for consuming 2000000 points of Enlightenment and successfully mastering the Myriad Flower Sword Finger technique to the Great Perfection stage.]

[Great Perfection Myriad Flower Sword Finger: The number of sword energies is increased to 50,000, power is enhanced, speed is increased, and true energy consumption remains unchanged]

As his understanding flowed in, countless insights into the Myriad Flower Sword Finger immediately appeared in Ye Kang's mind. With a thought, he released a full 50,000 Myriad Flower Sword Qi, which covered the sky and the earth, creating a pink expanse.

The sheer sharpness and immense power of the sword energy left Luo Xue completely stunned.

She couldn't help but swallow hard, her previous underestimation of Ye Kang's strength completely gone.

Previously, she had always thought that Ye Kang was only far superior to others in the art of formations, and that his actual strength was not that exaggerated.

But now, just watching him practice, Luo Xue felt a terrifying aura.

If it were you, could you withstand his sword strike?

The more Luo Xue thought about it, the more uncertain she felt. She could only make up her mind that she had to befriend this person and stick close to his coattails!

Ye Kang never expected that his casual release of sword energy would be so terrifying.

If someone were to master the Myriad Flower Sword Finger technique to perfection, what would that be like?

Of course, it's impossible to level up now, because my comprehension has dropped to zero.

He smiled helplessly, then concealed his aura and looked at the system panel.

……

A moment later, Ye Kang withdrew from his mental state with satisfaction, his heart filled with boundless pride.

I never imagined that he had already reached the third stage of Nirvana. Looking back on his journey, I have quite a few feelings.

However, we must not be arrogant. Without the Way, we are all ants, and there is still a long way to go.

He focused his mind and stood up, saying, "I'll trouble you two fellow Daoists. Now, it's time to go find the Fortune Pearl."
