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

Chapter 116 I'll Lend You Something

Training room.

Ye Kang opened his eyes, his true energy surged, and a powerful physical force formed visible ripples that slammed into the surrounding walls.

A loud bang was heard, and Ye Kang let out a long breath.

Three days had passed. He raised his arm, and the ink patterns were faintly visible, with their density and intensity greatly increased.

With a thought, the ink patterns disappeared, revealing the original skin tone, only slightly whiter than before.

"This Jade Lotus Root truly lives up to its reputation as a precious plant. After absorbing just half of it, my physical strength has increased by at least three points, and even the Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique has subtly taken a step forward. What a treasure!"

Ye Kang was very excited, not only because his physical body had become stronger, but also because he had verified the effect of Bao Zhi on him.

Although his improvement was so significant, it was largely because he had never taken any elixirs or precious plants before, allowing his accumulated knowledge to finally manifest, resulting in an effect that surpassed that of ordinary people.

Even a slight improvement is an invaluable treasure for a martial artist.

Don't assume that Ye Kang doesn't need these improvements just because he cultivates through the system. Body tempering has no upper limit; it relies on daily accumulation. You'll always feel you need more, never less.

This is not just a matter of current combat strength, but also a consideration of future potential.

Ye Kang then took out the treasure map again.

"If Master Huyan is right, the treasure hidden in this picture will be of great use to me. It's a pity that it's a bit far away. I need to find an opportunity to go there."

He wasn't in a hurry. After putting away the treasure map, he took a shower in the bathroom of the quiet room, changed his clothes, and then walked out feeling refreshed.

The euphorbia tirucalli swayed in the breeze, and sunlight filtered through the gaps in the green leaves, dappling the cobblestone path.

Ye Kang walked out with a sense of ease, where a haggard-looking figure had been waiting for a long time.

"You're finally out. Come with me quickly, Wang Yintai is about to escape."

Xie Xueting breathed a sigh of relief and lowered the long sword he was holding by two inches.

You could tell he was very nervous.

Ye Kang smiled and said, "Uncle Xueting, why bother? Are you afraid?"

“How could we not be afraid… Wang Yintai is the ninth son of the Wang family, and his mother is from a prominent family in Jiangnan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been allowed to control the Blood Robe Tower. If we kill him, Wang Yinchen will go crazy.”

Wang Yinchen is the current head of the Wang family and the second son of the Wang family's patriarch.

Xie Xueting had told Ye Kang that Wang Yinchen was the most dangerous person in the entire city of Jinling, without exception.

It wasn't just because he controlled the assassin business in the entire Jinling area, but also because of his almost insane personality. If this man said he would kill your whole family, he really meant it; he would cut even an earthworm vertically.

Xie Xueting continued, "Wang Yintai was most afraid of his second brother. With the destruction of the Blood Robe Tower, he expected to be severely punished. He was so afraid that he even went so far as to marry the young widow from the Shi family to increase his bargaining power through marriage."

"The young widow of the Shi family?"

"Since you're not in Jinling, you naturally wouldn't know. The young widow of the Shi family was known as one of the Four Beauties of Jiangnan. She was born with a beautiful face, but unfortunately, she had a bad fate. She married twice, and both of her husbands died tragically."

Ye Kang understood; it was another classic "husband-killing" statement.

He couldn't help but chuckle, "Wang Yintai is really desperate. Is he still at Qingxin Pavilion?"

"He's still here, but he's getting married soon, or it'll be too late."

"So fast!"

"There was no other way. The young widow's brother was eager to marry off his sister, and Wang Yintai was eager to please his second brother. They hit it off immediately and will hold the wedding ceremony this afternoon."

"What are we waiting for! Let's go!"

Ye Kang immediately rushed out.

Xie Xueting was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "Isn't it you who insisted on asking so many questions?"

The two quickly arrived at a street next to Qingxin Pavilion. Xie Xueting was still wondering what Ye Kang was going to do when she saw Ye Kang smile mysteriously.

"Uncle Xueting, turn around."

Xie Xueting was bewildered, but since he was under someone else's roof, he could only obediently listen to them.

After a moment, Ye Kang said, "Alright, turn around now."

Xie Xueting turned around in confusion, and a thin, sinister-looking middle-aged man was smiling at him.

He instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and his scalp tingled.

"Who are you!"

"Uncle Xueting, why be surprised? It's just a simple disguise technique."

Ye Kang smiled casually. Just now, he used the Spirit Butterfly Thousand Illusion Body and became Mr. Kang once again.

Since the goal is to kill, a different identity is necessary.

After so many trials, Ye Kang found that Mr. Kang's identity was really useful. The person who invented the Spirit Butterfly Thousand Illusion Body was simply a genius!

Sure enough, Xie Xueting's expression grew increasingly strange, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You call this a normal disguise? How come even your aura has changed! You're clearly a different person!"

"Calm down, Uncle Xueting. You're the first person to know about my methods. I hope you'll keep your mouth shut. After all, I'm going to kill Wang Yintai, so we're bound together."

Xie Xueting naturally understood this principle and nodded helplessly.

How could he dare expose Ye Kang? Unless he had a death wish.

Forget it, let's just pretend we didn't see anything today and then forget everything when we get back.

The two pretended to be nonchalant, smiling broadly, each carrying a gift box, and walked to the front of Qingxin Pavilion with feigned joy.

"Brother Yintai! I heard you're getting married, so I came here to congratulate you!"

The gatekeeper's trusted aide recognized Xie Xueting and quickly bowed, saying, "Mr. Xie, my master doesn't wish to receive guests right now..."

Xie Xueting's expression immediately turned serious.

"Nonsense! Wang Yintai, have you forgotten what happened between us? How dare you refuse to see me?"

Xie Xueting's loud noise attracted the attention of many people.

On the second floor, Wang Yintai, dressed in a wedding suit, poked his head out with a dark expression: "Brother Xie, you flatter me. Please come up for a chat. And who is this gentleman beside you?"

"I've come to introduce you to a new friend, Brother Yu Yintai."

"Since we're friends, let's all come up together."

Wang Yintai closed the window in annoyance.

I've become like this entirely because of Xie Xueting. Otherwise, who would want to marry a widow who's cursed to bring bad luck to her husband?

This guy dared to come looking for trouble; we'll have to teach him a lesson later!

Soon, Xie Xueting and Ye Kang entered the private room.

The trusted confidant naturally went to prepare tea and snacks.

Wang Yintai sat casually on the futon and looked at Ye Kang, saying, "Brother, what brings you here?"

Ye Kang cupped his hands and said, "I have prepared a small gift to congratulate Ninth Master on his wedding. I would also like to ask Ninth Master to lend me something."

Wang Yintai snorted coldly: "Offering help for no reason, you're obviously not a good person. Tell me, what do you want?"

"What I ask for is simple: your head."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yintai's expression changed slightly. Before he could react, Ye Kang had already disappeared from the spot. The next second, he grabbed Wang Yintai's neck with his right hand and exerted force without hesitation.

Click!

The entire neck was shattered into powder, leaving only a thin outer layer connecting the head and body.

Wang Yintai's eyes were almost popping out, and blood was seeping from all seven orifices.

He was also a fifth-grade innate martial artist, and his vitality was quite strong, so he hadn't completely died yet.

Ye Kang didn't care. He activated the Demon Refining and Water Suppression Technique, and his pure physical strength vibrated downwards.

In a matter of moments, his meridians were shattered, and he was killed swiftly without any suspense.

Xie Xueting was stunned.

"You! I...he..."
