Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 140 Who Will Die First?
Guan Wenzhong was somewhat uneasy, feeling that some misfortune was about to occur.

Was it because his relationship with Lin Le was discovered?
Guan Wenzhong immediately thought of this and got up.

He trusted his intuition; since disaster was about to strike, it was best to leave the city as soon as possible.

Without time to pack his things, Guan Wenzhong grabbed a storage bag and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he stepped out of his house, he felt pressure on his body.

It's the suppression of imperial aura!
Guan Wenzhong's heart sank; he knew he had truly been exposed.

Without having time to think carefully about where he had been exposed, Guan Wenzhong immediately took to the air, intending to fly out of the city.

But just as he rose into the air, a loud shout came from afar: "Guan Wenzhong, where do you think you're going!"

Along with the sound came a red light.

Guan Wenzhong wielded his crescent blade and counterattacked, unleashing a beam of moonlight.

boom!
The red light shattered the red light with unstoppable force, and then struck Guan Wenzhong.

Boom!

Guan Wenzhong was sent flying backwards and crashed into his own courtyard.

A figure appeared above the Guan residence; it was Chi Xinghan who had arrived.

"Guan Wenzhong, I never expected you to be such a wolf in sheep's clothing, daring to collude with the butcher!" Chi Xinghan's voice was cold yet contained anger.

"Cough!" Guan Wenzhong spat out a mouthful of blood, looked up at Chi Xinghan, and sneered, "That's still better than you beasts."

"You beast!" Chi Xinghan's face darkened. "I think you're the beast. Do you know how many people have died because of your selfishness?"

"Hahaha!" Guan Wenzhong suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Hahaha!"

The laughter was thunderous and lasted for a long time.

Seeing Guan Wenzhong laughing wildly, Chi Xinghan frowned: "What, am I wrong?"

"No, no!" Guan Wenzhong shook his head, then shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the city, "In the spring of the 13467th year of the Tai Xuan calendar, Chi Qingshui of the Chi family destroyed 300 acres of fertile land simply because of his experiment with magic. The owners of the fertile land, including An You and Liu Erlang, and 27 other households, demanded an explanation, and 42 people were beaten to death by Chi Qingshui!"

"In the summer of the 13468th year of the Tai Xuan calendar, Yan Zicong of the Yan family practiced the evil art of aphrodisiacs, forcibly abducted and raped over a hundred respectable women, and fifty-seven of them died. Subsequently, forty-nine families demanded an explanation, and sixty-five of them were beaten to death by Yan Zicong."

"In the same year, Xia Qinghe of the Xia family practiced a beauty-enhancing evil art, kept three hundred children in captivity, and constantly sucked their blood to refine their essence for beauty enhancement. Subsequently, no fewer than thirty children died each year."

"In the autumn of the 13469th year of the Tai Xuan calendar, Chi Qingde of the Chi family..."

With each sentence Guan Wenzhong spoke, he described a tragedy that affected dozens of people, and with each sentence Chi Xinghan heard, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Finally, he yelled, "Enough! What do you want to say?!"

"I want to say, you are all sons of bitches and beasts!" Guan Wenzhong cursed, his face extremely ferocious. "If you say Lin Le is a butcher, aren't you four great families, including that prefect, also butchers!"

“Every year, at least hundreds of thousands of people die because of you. Since the establishment of your four major families, at least hundreds of thousands of people have died in Anzhu County because of you!”

"What's wrong with me calling you animals!"

"You're asking for it!" Chi Xinghan roared in anger, throwing a punch at Guan Wenzhong.

boom!
Guan Wenzhong, who had just stood up, was shoved back into the ground, but he was still alive.

"Cough cough!" Guan Wenzhong coughed loudly. "You son of a bitch, come here, beat me to death!"

"You really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Chi Xinghan's face was so cold it seemed to freeze.

"You don't dare?" Guan Wenzhong sneered. "I dare!"

Chi Xinghan's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly reached out to grab Guan Wenzhong.

But it was too late.

"Cough!" Guan Wenzhong coughed up a mouthful of blood; he had shattered his own heart meridian.

Guan Wenzhong looked at Chi Xinghan's face and sneered, "You son of a bitch, I'll be waiting for you down there!" "Ah—!" Chi Xinghan threw his head back and roared angrily, then slammed his palm down.

Bang! A large hole was torn open in Guan Wenzhong's chest.

With a soft thud, Guan Wenzhong fell into the pit, while Chi Xinghan's face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

"Kill! Slaughter this mansion!" Chi Xinghan ordered.

"Yes!"

High in the sky, Lin Le's eyes gleamed as he made his way there. This day had indeed brought him quite a few unexpected situations.

Whether it was Chi Daoqi's willingness to die for his family or Guan Wenzhong's heroic sacrifice, both were somewhat beyond Lin Le's imagination.

In his view, these two should have been trying to save their own lives, but they ended up sacrificing themselves for their own purposes.

Guan Wenzhong, in particular, surprised Lin Le the most, because they had spent some time together, and in his opinion, Guan Wenzhong was cooperating with him in order to obtain an official position.

Looking back now, it seems that his claim of seeking an official position was less about wanting the people under him to live a slightly more humane life.

Becoming an official is a means, not an end.

Whoosh! A piercing whistling sound rang out, and Chi Xinghan looked up to see a fiery meteor hurtling towards him at an extremely fast speed.

Chi Xinghan's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "The Butcher!"

"Human butcher?"

The fiery meteor stopped high in the sky, revealing a handsome young man standing on fiery wheels, holding a sharp spear, with red ribbons fluttering behind him. Illuminated by the firelight beneath his feet, he appeared neither god nor human.

“I don’t really like this title.” Lin Le looked down at Chi Xinghan. “Change the title.”

"Human Butcher, you..." Before Chi Xinghan could finish speaking, Lin Le rushed in front of him and slashed at him with a gun.

Chi Xinghan immediately raised his fist to defend, but he was no match for Lin Le.

Boom boom boom!
Chi Xinghan flew out like a cannonball, smashing down houses along the way.

"I told you to change your title, are you deaf?" Lin Le said coldly, then glanced at Guan Wenzhong's corpse next to him and nodded slightly. Not bad, still warm.

With his left hand forming a hand seal, Lin Le said, "Soul, return!"

A phantom image immediately detached from Guan Wenzhong and entered the embroidered ball at Lin Le's waist.

Guan Wenzhong, dressed in red, stepped out of the embroidered ball after patting it. He was accompanied by Bai Piao, Yinshan Snake, and hundreds of soldiers.

Guan Wenzhong glanced at Lin Le with a complicated expression, then bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Slaughter them." Lin Le handed the Qiankun Ring to Guan Wenzhong, the Yin-Yang Twin Swords to Bai Piao, and the Hun Tian Ling to the Yinshan Snake.

"Yes."

They split their forces into three groups and attacked the Wei, Chi, and Xia families.

As for the prefect, someone has already taken charge of that.

Lin Le rose into the air, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Come out, or I'll come and kill you one by one."

Four figures surrounded Lin Le.

Chi Xinghan, Liu Zhixing, Wei Hanpeng, and Xia Jingsong, the head of the Xia family, the four remaining figures in Kuzhu City, surrounded Lin Le.

Without hesitation, Chi Xinghan and Liu Zhixing mobilized imperial energy to suppress Lin Le.

Golden clouds were visibly clinging to Lin Le's body, but Lin Le ignored the imperial aura emanating from him and glanced at the four people:

"Who among you will come forward to die first?"
