Bizarre: Forced into an arranged marriage, his wife turns out to be a demon emperor?

Chapter 60 This time, I'll do it myself.

[Ding! Host's strong fighting spirit detected; special function activated!]

[Would you like to consume 10000 Fear Points to activate the "Ghost Emperor's Power Borrowing (Beginner)" mode?]

[Ghost Emperor's Power Borrowing: Temporarily borrows 1% of the power of the contracted Ghost Emperor for 60 seconds. Note: This power is extremely domineering and will place a huge burden on the host's body.]

The system notification sounded in Lin Che's mind.

Ten thousand fear points.

This was almost all the wealth he had accumulated after clearing out all the strange occurrences in Jiangcheng.

"Activate".

Lin Che did not hesitate at all.

[Activation Confirmed! The Power of the Ghost Emperor is being channeled—]

next second.

An indescribable, cold and vast power surged into his limbs and bones from the invisible contract between him and Su Hongyi!

Lin Che's body jolted violently.

That wasn't warm energy, but the purest, most primal, and eerie SSS-level power of death and resentment.

A fine black pattern appeared on his skin, then quickly disappeared.

Two faint red lights ignited deep within his pupils.

The feeling was like having a nuclear reactor forcibly crammed into the body of an ordinary person.

Every blood vessel, every nerve, is wailing and trembling.

But at the same time, an unprecedented, powerful feeling, as if he could control everything, filled his heart.

"Come, let me see."

Lin Che raised his head and looked at the white-robed youth whose aura had reached its peak.

"Just how tough are these so-called immortals?"

His voice had taken on an inhuman hoarseness and coldness.

This subtle change made everyone present's heart skip a beat.

The envoy and the young man lying on the ground stared at Lin Che in horror.

They sensed that Lin Che's aura had changed.

If Lin Che previously gave the impression of an ordinary person standing next to the nuclear launch button.

So now, he himself has become that nuclear bomb!

That kind of oppressive aura, that feeling of fear rising from the depths of one's soul, was far less overwhelming than Su Hongyi's.

But in essence, they are exactly the same!

"Playing tricks!"

The white-robed youth had gone completely mad. He gathered all his power at his fingertips and pointed at Lin Che from a distance.

"Blood Nerve, Immortal-Slaying Finger!"

A beam of blood-red light, condensed to its extreme, pierced through the air silently, yet carrying an aura of annihilation, heading straight for Lin Che's brow.

This was his last desperate, all-or-nothing move.

It was a fatal blow that he had exchanged for thirty years of his lifespan and half of his life essence!

He believed that even if the real Ghost King were here, taking this attack head-on would cause his soul to be scattered!

However, Lin Che simply stood still.

He didn't even try to dodge.

He simply raised his right hand slowly.

Then, spread your five fingers.

He gently grabbed at the blood-red beam of light that was powerful enough to instantly kill an S-class monster.

It's like trying to catch a ray of light.

An action that is utterly absurd.

But what happened next caused the white-robed youth's madness to freeze instantly, turning into endless terror.

The crimson beam of light actually stopped just before it touched Lin Che's palm.

It was like a venomous snake whose vital point had been seized, twisting and struggling wildly, yet unable to move forward even an inch.

It was as if there was an invisible black hole in Lin Che's palm, frantically devouring its power.

"What...what kind of power is this?"

The white-robed youth screamed, feeling his connection to the finger force being brutally severed.

"No! This is impossible! How could you, a mere mortal, possibly—"

"mortal?"

Lin Che slowly closed his five fingers.

"Click."

A soft sound.

He crushed that crimson beam of light, along with all the violent energy it contained.

It turned into specks of red light and dissipated into the air.

"puff!"

The white-robed youth spat out another mouthful of black blood, his aura instantly weakening. The blood-red patterns on his body faded rapidly, and he collapsed to the ground as if all his energy had been drained.

His trump card, everything he had, was exposed by the man in front of him in a way he couldn't understand.

Lin Che shook his hand as if he had only brushed off a little dust.

The borrowed power surged through his body, making him feel as if his body was about to be torn apart.

But the expression on his face was very calm.

He walked step by step toward the white-robed youth who had collapsed to the ground.

"You just said that she's not good enough for me?"

Lin Che walked up to him and looked down at him.

"He even said he wanted me to cut off my own arm?"

The young man in the white robe raised his head, his eyes filled with fear.

In his eyes, Lin Che was no longer an ordinary person.

Those eyes, burning with red light, were more terrifying than any demon he had ever seen.

"No—you are not a mortal—what exactly are you?"

"I am her man."

Lin Che lifted his foot.

Then, stomp down hard.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones shattering rang out clearly.

The white-robed youth's right arm was crushed by Lin Che's foot.

"ah--!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the hall.

Lin Che did not stop.

The second kick.

"Snap!"

Left arm.

"You also said you wanted to use her as your furnace?"

In the blink of an eye, the arrogant young man in white robes who had just been calling himself a celestial cultivator was turned into a lump of mud, lying on the ground, unable to do anything but scream.

Lin Che's movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

That ruthlessness sent chills down the spines of the special envoy and the young man in the corner, making them feel cold all over.

This person is not joking.

He really would kill.

Moreover, it was done in the most cruel way.

Su Hongyi stood not far away, watching quietly.

Her large eyes were completely still, yet they shone with an unusual brilliance.

I love my husband so much.

Lin Che bent down, grabbed the white-robed youth by the hair, lifted him up, and made him look at him.

"Now, do you think it's you who's not good enough for her, or me?"

"I was wrong—I was wrong—have mercy—have mercy—"

The young man in white robes completely broke down, tears streaming down his face, his former air of otherworldly elegance completely gone.

"It's too late."

Lin Che released his grip, letting him fall to the ground.

The power within him was rapidly fading, and a surge of intense weakness and pain washed over him.

He knew that the 60 seconds were almost up.

He turned away, no longer looking at the puddle of mud on the ground.

"Red dress".

"My husband!"

Su Hongyi immediately floated over, supporting Lin Che, who was swaying slightly, her eyes filled with heartache and admiration.

"This is a gift for you." Lin Che pointed to the white-robed youth on the ground. "Wash yourself clean and eat slowly."

"Thank you, my husband!" Su Hongyi smiled happily.

Lin Che leaned against Su Hongyi's soft embrace, took a deep breath to suppress the excruciating pain in his body, and turned to look at the two guests from the capital who were already terrified.

His face was somewhat pale, but his eyes remained sharp.

"Sorry, I had some family matters to take care of."

He gave a slightly apologetic smile.

Where were we?

"Oh, right."

"If we go to the capital, will they provide meals?"
