No Martial Ethics

"Damn it! How did the Old Sword Master lose!"

At the edge of the battlefield, the two Innate experts who were locked in a fierce battle with Sikong Wuhen were startled.

They had completely suppressed Sikong Wuhen, injuring him all over and were on the verge of finishing him off, when suddenly, the Old Sword Master died.

The battlefield situation instantly reversed. The attacks of the two Innate experts slowed, and they quietly retreated to the edge.

Jianghu martial artists were inherently self-serving. Seeing the turn of events, they naturally prioritized their own survival.

Sikong Wuhen, whose pressure had suddenly eased, wore a wild grin, his blood qi erupting and turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

Although he didn't know who the suddenly arriving Innate expert was, since they were on his side, it was a tremendous stroke of luck.

He laughed as he charged at the two Innate experts with his spear.

"Keep going! Don't you dare run!"

"You fool, rushing to your death."

The female Innate expert frowned. She unleashed the Cloud Turning Palm, sending out countless cloud-like palm strikes. At that moment, a massive Blazing Blade Qi swept across, directly disrupting the palm shadows.

Ye Kang said nothing and lunged directly at the two Innate experts.

With his Blazing Blade at perfection, his strength had reached the peak of a Second-grade Innate. Facing these ordinary Innate experts, he felt no fear and attacked directly.

Imperial True Qi erupted with golden light, causing the True Qi of the two Innate experts to freeze for a moment.

"Not good!"

The female Innate expert felt the chaos in her True Qi and quickly retreated. She didn't even care about her disciples and fled.

The other Innate expert was clearly a step too slow. He was directly struck by the chaotic Blazing Blade Qi. His weapon was a bronze staff, which he barely managed to raise before the blade qi cut a gash into it. He himself was then struck in the chest by the staff, breaking several ribs.

This scene made the Innate expert's eyes bulge, and an overwhelming fear rose within him.

He had never sustained such an injury since becoming an Innate, let alone being instantly killed in one exchange. What martial art had this person practiced!

Ye Kang ignored him, only leaving behind a sentence: "General, this person is yours."

With that, he transformed into a flying swallow and pursued the fleeing female Innate expert.

Not a single Innate expert who came here today would be allowed to leave alive.

Innate experts were dangerous, but Innate experts who became enemies and then fled were even more so.

Seeing Ye Kang leave, Sikong Wuhen let out a loud laugh: "You scoundrel, you enjoyed bullying me with a two-on-one, didn't you? Now it's my turn!"

His spear tore through the air, clashing with the bronze staff.

On the other side, Ye Kang pushed his True Qi to its limit and quickly caught up to the female Innate expert.

Seeing him, cold sweat poured down her face. She quickly shouted, "Young friend, spare me! I was only here to observe, I never intended to target the Ninth Princess!"

"Do you believe that yourself?"

Ye Kang was speechless. Facing death, people would spout any lie.

With a thought, his Hundred Flowers Sword Qi shot out rapidly, piercing the woman's heart from behind.

Her white robes were like snow, and a drop of blood from her heart stained her chest. The woman closed her eyes in despair and fell.

Ye Kang followed her down and cut her in half with a single blade.

Even Innate experts should not be underestimated; finishing them off was necessary.

After killing her, Ye Kang returned to the battlefield, casually cutting down a group of fleeing disciples.

Their sect leaders and masters had all been killed by Ye Kang, and they had long lost the will to fight to the death, only wanting to escape.

Ye Kang wouldn't let them go. The aura of the two Third-Rank Innate experts in the middle was too terrifying, so he decided not to get involved in that. He would just kill some disciples on the periphery.

After all, killing experts yielded rewards. Even a mosquito's leg was still meat. As long as the base was large enough, quantity could lead to a qualitative change.

And so, a god of death clad in black appeared on the battlefield.

Ye Kang struck any sect disciple he saw with a single blade, often killing several at once.

For those who had escape methods, he unleashed his Hundred Flowers Sword Qi, resulting in a string of headshots.

This bloody scene terrified the soldiers, their legs trembling.

"So... so fierce!"

"Too brutal, is this really an Innate expert..."

The terrified sect disciples were also petrified, shouting in unison.

"How can an Innate expert slaughter the younger generation! You're not upholding martial ethics!"

"You're violating the rules of the Jianghu! It's a major taboo!"

Hearing this, Ye Kang's smile became even more sinister.

"Well said, but I am not a person of the Jianghu. I am a dog of the Imperial Court."

Ye Kang's eyes turned blood red, and he killed even faster, his sword qi soaring, causing rows of sect disciples to fall.

And the system's voice never stopped.

Even though these people's strength was below Innate, they always rewarded ten or a hundred Comprehension. Combined, it had already reached eight thousand!

Ye Kang exclaimed that it was exhilarating. He could kill the Rebel Faction and earn Comprehension at the same time; it was simply killing two birds with one stone!

In the center of the distant military tents, the Ninth Princess and a group of Imperial Guards on horseback watched the scene in shock.

"Who is this person! How many has he killed already!"

"Well killed! A bunch of Rebel Faction scum deserve to die!"

The Imperial Guards clapped and cheered.

The Ninth Princess, however, had pale lips.

This guy… is he really the guard her mother sent for her? He's way too bloodthirsty. Mother really knows how to put her mind at ease.

Time passed quickly. Ye Kang alone had killed thousands of the stronger Rebel Faction members.

The remaining sect disciples weren't strong enough to be worth mentioning, and they basically couldn't drop any Comprehension anymore, so Ye Kang stopped paying attention to them, leaving them to the soldiers to handle.

Without their high-end combat power, these people were no match for the battle formations. Not a single one of them would survive.

After the slaughter, Ye Kang opened his status panel and found that his Comprehension had soared to 10,000!

It was more than he had ever had before, but unfortunately, it was still far from enough to upgrade the Hundred Flowers Sword Finger.

At this moment, Ye Kang finally turned his attention to the central battlefield.

Sikong Wuhen had already killed the Innate expert wielding the bronze staff with a single thrust.

And on the larger battlefield, two giant True Qi lotuses, one white and one purple, were still locked in a stalemate.

Although Mister Plainclothes was focused on resisting Old Wu's fierce assault, he wasn't completely oblivious to the outside world.

When he discovered that all the sect experts had been wiped out, he knew that this scheme had utterly failed.

He was furious, unable to understand where his meticulous plan had gone wrong.

But with things having reached this point, he could do nothing but try to escape quickly.

"Senior Purple Demon, this junior miscalculated this time. Your martial arts technique is exquisite; please forgive me, and I will seek your guidance again next time."

With that, the White Lotus behind Mister Plainclothes bloomed once more, his hair rapidly turned white, and his entire being seemed to be drained of life.

The price for this was a further increase in strength. The White Lotus spun violently, unleashing terrifying True Qi, directly tearing the Purple Lotus apart.

With a muffled groan, Old Wu was sent flying and crashed to the ground.

"Old Wu!"

The Ninth Princess cried out in concern, but Old Wu waved her off.

He shakily stood up, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Boy, you've used the Supreme Yin-Yang Chaotic White Lotus Skill twice. Your lifespan is running out. Was it worth it?"

Mister Plainclothes smiled faintly.

"Senior cherishes life, but this junior does not. As long as the great cause can be achieved, what is life worth!"

With that, his sinister gaze fell upon Ye Kang.

"I should have left by now, but you've truly angered me. If I don't kill you now, you will surely be a major threat to our sect in the future."
