Chapter 79

“Almost there…”

“As long as I leave this place, I can spread the news about the changes in Qingyan City, I can avenge my father, and I can take revenge for everyone in Qingyan City…”

Yu Nian’an looked into the distance, her hair disheveled and dry, resembling a madwoman, with a pool of blood in front of her. It was hard to imagine that a woman could endure seven days and nights, enduring pain as she crawled away from Qingyan City.

Perhaps the only thing keeping her alive was that deep-rooted hatred.

Suddenly, Yu Nian’an stopped, her pupils constricting sharply, her eyes filled with despair.

What she saw… was a mass of corpses impaled on a flagpole, and she was no stranger to the armor these bodies wore.

These… were the most elite soldiers of the Dayan Dynasty, the Yan Guards!

“Jiejiejie, so there’s a little mouse here,” came a strange laugh, followed by a figure emanating demonic flames slowly appearing from the void, holding a long spear. The figure resembled a human, but its black armor seemed to merge with its flesh and blood, while its face was adorned with two rows of six eyes, and its mouth was torn open, looking horrifying and no longer human.

Looking at that figure, Yu Nian’an’s face turned pale, and a deep sense of despair filled her heart.

This person… was a powerful being who had slaughtered in Qingyan City, stained with countless blood; she had seen with her own eyes the soldiers of the Chu Ling royal residence transform from normal humans into these monsters that were neither human nor ghost!

“Why, why?!”

Yu Nian’an’s voice was hoarse.

She was confused, angry, questioning!

“Why?” The terrifying monster couldn’t help but laugh maniacally, “Hahaha, of course, it’s for power!”

“Do you know how long it would take me to reach this level on my own?”

“Maybe I would never achieve it.”

“And now, it only takes less than a month!”

The terrifying monster licked its lips, greedily looking at Yu Nian’an, slowly saying, “All I need to do is eat people, and I can become stronger!”

These words sent chills down Yu Nian’an’s spine.

“Go die, you monster!”

Yu Nian’an raised her sword, her eyes filled with determination. She did not sit and wait for death but instead took the initiative to strike first, even if it meant dying!

But how great was the gap between them?

Although Yu Nian’an was a somewhat famous genius, she was only at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage.

She struck with all her might but could not even get three feet close to the monster.

The void erupted with a bang, her long sword shattered into powder, and Yu Nian’an’s body flew back like a kite with a broken string, soaring over a hundred meters, leaving a deep pit on the ground.

She could feel every bone in her body breaking, the heavy injuries making her feel as if her life was nearly frozen at that moment.

Weakly, Yu Nian’an opened her eyes and looked at the terrifying figure approaching her, her heart filled with an unprecedented despair.

She could see the monster extending a tongue several meters long, seemingly wanting to lick her.

And at this moment, she could do nothing!

Suddenly, a voice erupted from the heavens.

“Majestic heavens and earth, righteousness endures, not seeking to slay immortals, but to cut down demons and gods!”

The voice resounded through the void.

Righteousness surged, brilliance dazzling.

With one sword, the heavens and earth lost their color, and the sun and moon shone together.

It was as if an immortal was descending from the heavens to eliminate evil, restoring righteousness to the world.

Yu Nian’an watched as the monster capable of tearing apart a powerful being turned into nothingness in the light.

In that moment, hope ignited in her eyes.

Groups of figures stepped through the air, a terrifying aura shaking thousands of miles.

In the final moment before Yu Nian’an lost consciousness, she seemed to see the immortal who struck coming towards her…

…….

Lin Xuan looked at the corpses strewn across the ground without speaking, but his aura became increasingly terrifying, even making Li Qiudao hold his breath.

A golden pill radiating with light appeared in Lin Xuan’s hand, its rich medicinal fragrance dispelling the surrounding bloodiness.

Lin Xuan helped the bloodied and disfigured girl before him and unhesitatingly placed the sought-after fifth-grade pill into her mouth. As the pill melted, Lin Xuan took out another one, repeating the process. The perfect fifth-grade pills were like cabbages, one after another, until the faint signs of life gradually stabilized.

The expressions of many powerful beings were also extremely grim, as the scene before them was beyond their expectations.

“What was that just now?!”

A powerful being asked quietly, their tone heavy; that terrifying monster was completely unrecognizable.

Never seen before!

Yu Nian’an slowly opened her eyes and looked at the tall figure holding her. She struggled to speak, “Qing… Qingyan City… there are… monsters…”

“Everyone… is dead… it’s all Chu Ling Wang….”

Lin Xuan listened quietly, looking at the girl’s dirty face with dried blood marks. He extended his sleeve and carefully wiped her face, leaving a bright red stain on his white clothes.

He slowly spoke, “I will definitely exterminate all the monsters.”

“I promise you, not a single monster will leave alive!”

Yu Nian’an’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope.

“I will let you see those monsters die one by one!”

Lin Xuan picked up Yu Nian’an and handed her to a female powerful being in the crowd, instructing her to take Yu Nian’an away first.

Then, facing the crowd, Lin Xuan said, “Seniors, this journey to eliminate evil, I, Lin Xuan, do not insist.”

“However, if you are willing to accompany me, for every demon of the Qi Condensation stage that we kill, I will refine a sixth-grade pill for you. If we kill Chu Ling Wang, I will owe you a favor.”

Lin Xuan looked at the crowd and spoke solemnly.

At this moment, his killing intent reached an unprecedented peak!

A city, hundreds of thousands of people, dead because of him!

Chu Ling Wang’s departure from the royal capital to Qingyan City was also related to him!

If he had come a little earlier, perhaps so many people would not have died!

Although Lin Xuan was ruthless to the hearts of men, pillaging and exterminating entire clans, implicating thousands, he had never ruthlessly killed ordinary people; matters in the cultivation world had never involved ordinary people!

“I swear to follow Young Master Lin to the death!”

All the powerful beings showed a fervent expression, whether to eliminate evil or for the sake of the pills, they had forgotten life and death at this moment, the immense benefits drawing them in.

…….

Meanwhile,

A thousand miles away,

Qingyan City.

At this moment, the huge blood cocoon floating above Qingyan City exuded waves of black mist, with drops of dark red blood falling, drawing strange patterns on the ground.

Endless blood light shot up into the sky, ascending into the high heavens!
