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

Chapter 904 Forming Alliances and Breaking the Demonic Barrier

"King Kou finally has a satisfactory grandson. I am very pleased."

Outside the blessed land, the Holy Emperor watched this scene and couldn't help but nod and exclaim in praise.

From God's perspective, they naturally know what happened.

It can be said that the great battle between Ye Kang and Wu Jiuyuan was instigated by Kou Wuji with just a few words.

After that, he formed alliances and found several powerful allies at the sixth or even seventh level, persuading them that as soon as the great war ended, they would swarm in, defeat the Ninth Prince, and divide up the demon mark in his hands.

For those geniuses vying for the top spot, both seizing the marks and reducing the number of marks the Ninth Prince possessed would be advantageous to them.

Furthermore, Kou Wuji voluntarily handed over his secret concealment technique, showing great sincerity, so the alliance was naturally formed.

No matter how well you plan, there will always be uncontrollable variables.

The first variable was that Ye Kang actually won this battle.

The Ninth Prince had been teleported out, and everyone watched as his weak body was helped up by palace maids and he sat down in a chair.

The second variable, however, concerns the allies who were persuaded by Kou Wuji.

At first, everyone thought there was nothing wrong with it, but the Imperial Advisor immediately saw that the secret technique that Kou Wuji had voluntarily handed over had a big problem.

He said, "King Kou is an upright man, unyielding and incapable of using any underhanded tricks. As a result, he suffered a lot in his early years. Therefore, his motto for training the younger generation is that they must never be as honest as him. The staff of the King's Palace have also studied countless teaching methods for this purpose, and one of them happened to be a trap that they came to me for advice."

At this point, the Imperial Advisor paused, and those present, being intelligent, immediately understood.

The concealment technique that Kou Wuji gave me was a trap!

This guy clearly wants to take it all for himself and betray everyone!

What a beast!

King Kou really struck gold.

Many people sighed inwardly.

Meanwhile, inside the blessed land, Kou Wuji was overjoyed to see Ye Kang surrounded.

"Although you are not the Ninth Prince, you have lost seventy percent of your strength in this battle. How can you possibly contend with so many of us? Why not hand over the mark you just obtained? Everyone will be happy, won't you?"

"Hey! You bunch of bastards, dare to fight me!"

Suddenly, a hammer slammed to the ground. Pang Jinchui, holding the hammer handle with one hand and stepping on the hammer head with the other, was furious, his face turning red.

These people are really going too far; it seems like they've been ignoring her from the very beginning!

Do I, Pang Jinchui, have no pride?!

Kou Wuji turned his head and shook his head: "Miss Pang, you are mistaken. How could I forget you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black wind suddenly rose from the ground, forming a stunningly beautiful alien figure.

The Night Maiden appeared.

"I have already found a suitable opponent for Miss Pang. Consort Ye is an envoy from Wuzhou. Miss Pang, you must not be too ruthless, lest His Majesty be displeased."

After Kou Wuji finished speaking, he ignored him and continued to look at Ye Kang.

At the same time, Pang Jinchui and Ye Nu locked eyes, and the next second, their figures disappeared simultaneously without saying a word, and they immediately started fighting.

The Night Maiden wielded her crescent-shaped twin blades, unleashing countless silver rays of light; their sharp edges moved with incredible speed.

Pang Jinchui, on the other hand, is all-out and unrestrained; no matter how many sharp blades you have, he'll just smash them down with one blow.

Night Maiden didn't dare to directly clash with Pang Jinchui, but instead burrowed into the ground on the spot.

The Night Maidens' innate supernatural abilities destined them to be the most skilled warriors on land.

As the battle began, only Luo Xue remained completely bewildered.

After all, no one was taking care of her, and she couldn't get involved at all.

Suddenly, a voice transmission reached her ears.

"Come join us, young lady."

Luo Xue quickly looked into the distance and saw Jin Lingfeng and Wei Huanyan waving at her.

The two men lay on the earthen slope, finding themselves in the best vantage point for viewing.

Although Luo Xue didn't recognize them, Jin Lingfeng then revealed his identity to her through telepathy.

Luo Xue was skeptical, but she still flew over and became a spectator with the two of them.

The battle between Pang Jinchui and Ye Nu was in full swing, while Ye Kang let out a cold laugh.

"What a shrewd man, Kou Wuji! He set up a trap without making a sound. No wonder you made it into the top ten."

As he spoke, Ye Kang took out a small piece of yellow soap, held it to his nose, and smelled it.

Kou Wuji's eyes narrowed, keenly sensing that something was wrong, but he didn't know what the soap was; he just suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.

He had never seen such a fragrance before, and instinctively closed his nose.

"You are the one who has been hiding your true strength. Even the Ninth Prince was defeated by you. If I were to waste any more words with you, I would be too arrogant. So, let's all attack together, and whoever grabs it first gets to keep it!"

Without hesitation, he launched an attack, and as his true energy condensed, countless spikes flew out of thin air.

At the same time, a dozen or so sixth-level martial artists around them also channeled their true energy, unleashing a barrage of attacks like raindrops.

If it were Ye Kang at his peak, they would absolutely not dare to gang up on him, because a true strongman cannot be overwhelmed by numbers.

But now that he has just fought a great battle with the Ninth Prince, how could he possibly have any strength left?

This is a golden opportunity! As long as we can seize his demon soul mark, first place will be ours for the taking!

As the barrage of attacks rained down, Ye Kang's expression darkened, and he unleashed the Tyrant Whale Divine Fist once more.

The three thousand layers of fist power surged, instantly shattering countless attacks overhead, and the fist power directly approached Kou Wuji.

The latter did not linger in battle, but instead used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels) to burrow underground.

Countless attacks rained down again, but Ye Kang countered with a move, unleashing 100,000 pink sword energies without reservation.

The Great Perfection of the Myriad Flower Sword Finger technique was unleashed, overwhelming most of the attacks. The remaining attacks, even when they struck Ye Kang, caused him no pain or itch.

This scene left countless people stunned.

"This kid has some tricks up his sleeve!"

"Damn it! He's still hiding!"

Outside the blessed land, Wu Jiuyuan watched this scene with a helpless, bitter smile on his lips.

This guy had a trump card he hadn't used yet, but I had already given it my all.

The Wu Dynasty was a vast and powerful place, a land of hidden talents and heroes.

Upon seeing this, the group besieging Ye Kang gritted their teeth and unleashed their various powerful attacks.

They understood that if they couldn't defeat this person now, they would be doomed.

Someone shouted, "Seal it off! I'll block the sword energy!"

After saying that, a series of talismans exploded, forming a terrifying talisman array that was interconnected and actually intercepted the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi.

The remaining attacks came one after another, but Ye Kang countered with a powerful Whale Fist, creating another opening.

At the same time, his left hand formed a hand seal, and the myriad sword energies instantly merged together, transforming into a sword diagram that was raised high.

Since you're using talisman arrays, then try my Myriad Flowers Blooming Sword Array!

With a resounding clang, the giant sword formed from sword energy instantly shattered the rune array, sending countless sword lights shooting out, their cold gleam illuminating the sky.

The person who set up the talisman array widened his eyes, realized something was wrong, and retreated without hesitation.

But the sword formation had already been unleashed, and the sword energy followed him like a shadow, instantly piercing his abdomen.

Blood gushed out, and true energy surged forth. The man had lost most of his strength and could only retreat unwillingly.

The Thousand Flowers Blooming Sword Formation remains in the sky, forming countless blossoms, waiting for someone to enter its attack range, at which point the flowers will bloom, the swords will fall, and all things will wither.

The others were all capable and naturally understood the situation, so at this moment, no one stepped forward.

After all, it's clear that whoever goes first will have to endure the fiercest counterattack from the sword formation. Given the power of this sword formation, no one is confident they can withstand even one wave.

Thus, Ye Kang managed to stand firm amidst the siege, his bright eyes scanning the surroundings, and found that no one dared to approach.

At this moment, many people actually wished that they were facing the Ninth Prince.

After all, although that guy's body tempering cultivation was ridiculously strong, he didn't have so many strange methods.

"What do we do? This guy doesn't look like he's exhausted his inner energy at all!"

"I've never seen such a terrifying sixth-tier cultivator before. We've been tricked by that guy Kou Wuji!"

Some people are already considering giving up, since preserving their strength means they still have a chance, and being eliminated here for no reason would mean losing the whole game.

At this moment, Kou Wuji emerged from the soil beside him, his face already much darker.

"Don't be intimidated by him, everyone. After so many battles, how could he be unharmed? He must be at his last gasp. Let's attack together and break his sword formation!"

"That sounds nice, but you escaped using earth magic, leaving us here to fight to the death. Kou Wuji, what are you up to!"

Some people glared at Kou Wuji, saying that it was only a temporary alliance, how could it be unbreakable?

It will inevitably fall apart as soon as it encounters even the slightest problem.

Faced with this situation, Kou Wuji could only suppress his anger and was about to offer some more advice.

Suddenly, the earth shook violently.

Everyone felt their hearts skip a beat, and then countless roars erupted from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, several terrifying demonic energies soared into the sky, almost transforming into a thousand-mile-long demonic cloud that covered the entire world.

At this, Kou Wuji also lost his composure and revealed a horrified expression.

"what happened!"

"Damn it! It's those demons who have regained their strength! They've joined forces and are coming towards us!"

"This is impossible! There was absolutely no indication before, how could it be such a coincidence!"

Everyone was stunned. Jin Lingfeng and the other two did not hesitate and quickly flew to Ye Kang's side.

If I were to try to escape alone now, I would be courting death.

We must cling to the powerful!

Ye Kang naturally let them in, and then transmitted his voice to Pang Jinchui.

The latter immediately broke free from the Night Maiden and flew into the Blooming Flowers Sword Formation.

Although Pang Jinchui was warlike, he only liked wide-ranging, open-style battles. He hated the cunning and maneuvering fighting style of Night Maiden and had long since stopped wanting to play with her.

Kou Wuji suddenly realized something and glared angrily at the soap in Ye Kang's hand.

"It was you! You used this thing to attract all the demons!"

Ye Kang smirked, put away the soap, and said, "You can't always be the one making the moves, can you? If I don't retaliate, wouldn't it seem disrespectful of me?"

Ye Kang appeared calm and composed, as if he had everything under control, but in reality, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That was incredibly close. In fact, his inner energy was completely depleted, and he was really about to give up.

Even the true energy stored within the pearl-containing shell was no longer sufficient.

So he took a gamble, and to his own surprise, this mysterious soap that he had obtained while still in the Innate Realm actually had an effect!

Once used, it will definitely trigger a beast tide; it's practically a concept-level artifact.

He sat down steadily, and under the protection of the sword formation, took out a bottle of powerful pills to restore his vital energy and instantly refined them.

At this moment, the outside world has already been occupied by countless crazed demon emperors.

These are all demon kings who successfully survived to the end and have recovered their strength. Their combat power is completely incomparable to that of the demons at the beginning.

The number of them was as many as several hundred, and they all rushed over at once. Their overwhelming presence made Kou Wuji's heart pound with fear.

"You're insane! With so many demon emperors, how are you going to escape!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Kang shook his head.

He didn't need to run away; after all, he could be a demon too.

Then, a demonic power was instantly activated.

Countless white mists rose up, and within the sword formation, Ye Kang transformed into a giant white python, slowly raising his head.

It was the power of a demon, a python swallowing white mist.

He rarely used this supernatural power, but using it now was simply flawless.

The python swallowing white mist could transform itself into a demonic body and imitate the aura of demons, in addition to Ye Kang having countless demonic blood cores.

As soon as one is consumed, countless true demonic powers will be generated.

Coupled with his monstrous physical body, no matter how you look at it, he is a true demon at this moment.

This scene left everyone speechless, even Pang Jinchui and the others were stunned.

Good guy!

How did this guy really turn into a demon? Could he be it?

But then I thought about it again, and realized that the true form of a demon and its primordial spirit are completely different things, and it is impossible to imitate them.

Ye Kang's identity as a human is beyond question, and this scene can only be one of his methods.

However, this method is a bit too demonic.

Even those outside the blessed land, with their God-like perspective, were completely dumbfounded at this moment.

What a ruthless person! He actually transformed himself into half a demon. With such a temperament, no wonder he was able to defeat the Ninth Prince.

The next second, the demons rushed forward, and the true forms of the demon emperors charged forward desperately, unleashing a barrage of various divine powers and arrows.

Everyone instinctively used their most powerful techniques, but they could only withstand one round at most. Before the second round of bombardment arrived, half of them had already deliberately crushed their teleportation jade talismans.

There's no other way. Losing your life for first place would be a huge loss. Being eliminated at least keeps the mark on your hand. If you're any slower, who knows what might happen!

"You are cruel enough!"

Kou Wuji glanced at Ye Kang with mixed feelings, then used earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique in Chinese fantasy novels) again, while Ye Nu on the other side had already escaped underground.

Ye Kang didn't give chase, since the earth escape technique was too overpowered and difficult to use.

He didn't have time to set up a countermeasure formation, so he could only let them leave.

But only a few people have the means to break through the encirclement; at most, no more than seven.

The remaining people were all forced out, and various angry curses could be heard.

Of course, the insult was directed at Kou Wuji.

At the same time, Ye Kang also swept away Pang Jinchui and the others with a burst of demonic energy. Then, he protected himself with a sword formation, and the demonic energy flowed like clouds, roaring as it merged into the demons.

Soon, the demon kings lost the source of the fragrance and gradually calmed down.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Kang, along with several cunning demon emperors, secretly left.

This broke the deadlock.
