After the Great Dao died

Chapter 88 I've wanted to kill you all for a long time

Upon hearing this, the entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

Lin Longyue's expression changed slightly, and her gaze suddenly turned to Princess Yunhe.

The two drowsy "companions" looked at each other in bewilderment.

The smile on Princess Yunhe's face finally faded a little.

She suddenly frowned, a cold glint flashing in her phoenix eyes.

Chu Linzi remained seated, still holding the wine cup in her hand.

Jiang Runian and Liu Yuqing suddenly changed their expressions!

Jiang Runian suddenly stood up, and with a "whoosh," the folding fan in his hand unfolded, the ink plum blossom on the fan surface swaying slightly in the candlelight.

He shouted, "Who are you to spout such nonsense!"

Chen Lingxi ignored him.

He reached out, picked up the celadon wine bottle on the table, uncorked it, and poured himself a glass of wine.

The wine fell into the glass, creating a very soft and crisp sound.

He then picked up his wine glass and slowly took a sip, his movements unhurried, as if he were drinking alone in his own study.

"Yang Zhuri also committed this demonic act." He put down his wine cup and glanced at everyone present: "I chopped off their heads."

He paused, his eyes extremely cold and sharp: "Today I saw you holding a banquet again, and a murderous intent suddenly arose in my heart."

Killing intent?

Liu Yuqing's expression suddenly turned icy.

She stood up, and her aura exploded forth!

A golden light, imbued with the aura of blood, burst forth from the depths of her bones, making her skin and flesh almost transparent. From afar, she appeared like a jade statue cast in pure gold, standing in the candlelight, dazzling and impossible to look at directly.

The sheer golden light and the profound aura of his being clearly those of a person who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Body!

"You didn't suppress this murderous intent, yet you came to see us." Her voice was as cold as ice: "Could it be that you want to die?"

""

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Runian beside her snorted coldly, and his body also shone with golden light.

The sound of a golden bell emanated from his body. Amidst the sound of the bronze bell, a faint golden wheel rose from behind him and slowly rotated. It was the Purple Grinding Golden Wheel that could only be condensed after the Golden Body was perfected!

Purple light swirled, and golden bells rang in unison; his aura instantly soared to its peak.

Jiang Runian's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared directly at Chen Lingxi!

Chu Linzi remained silent.

She put down her wine cup, raised her head, and stared directly at Chen Lingxi with her imposing eyes.

Princess Yunhe finally stopped laughing.

She shook her head slightly, and golden light surged around her.

The golden light emanated from the depths of her bones, even more profound than that of Liu Yuqing and Jiang Runian, and faintly showed signs of condensing golden energy!

The Golden Body signifies the perfection of the Golden Body, just one step away from entering the legendary Jade Qi realm.

At the same time, the woman playing the piano not far away also stood up.

The woman looked quite young, around thirty years old, and was very beautiful.

She put down her guqin and slowly walked out from behind the guqin stand, her body radiating golden light with every step.

The golden light was so solid that it was even more substantial than that of Princess Yunhe, clearly indicating that he was also a person with a perfect golden body.

Princess Yunhe raised her head and looked at Chen Lingxi. There was no trace of a smile in her phoenix eyes, only a bottomless coldness.

"You were able to kill Yang Zhuri and slaughter the entire Yang Zhuri villa, so you can be considered a first-rate expert."

"But this is not Qingjiang Villa."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the people in the courtyard.

"There are now three golden statues in perfect form and two golden statues in great form." She shook her head slightly, her tone calm: "Your Excellency, why don't you leave? I will pretend that what happened today never happened."

As she spoke, Chu Linzi put down her wine cup. As the cup hit the table, golden light suddenly emanated from deep within her bones.

The golden light was deep and vast, and it had already formed a golden aura, thus achieving the perfection of the golden body!

Five golden statues, three at perfection and two at completion, constitute a force that would attract attention even in the entire capital region.

Seeing this, Lin Longyue and the other young people were all astonished!

Lin Longyue, in particular, felt as if thunder had exploded in her mind.

She had known Princess Yunhe for over a year, but had never seen her display any martial arts skills whatsoever.

She had always thought of Princess Yunhe as a pampered noblewoman from the royal family, who was powerless and needed to rely on guards for protection.

But at this moment, such terrifying golden light suddenly erupted from this princess's body, and her aura was so profound that she had clearly reached the perfect state of the Golden Body!

And then there's Chu Linzi.

She and Chu Linzi have been fighting for so many years, clashing countless times both openly and secretly.

She had always thought that Chu Linzi was only at the Great Perfection of Silver Bone, at most at the Perfection level.

But at this moment—

A golden body perfected and fully realized at the age of twenty-something?

Lin Longyue dared not think too much about it, only feeling that this world was too absurd. She had cultivated for many years and only with the help of the Wind Riding Pill was she able to barely reach the Great Perfection of Silver Bone. She had already considered herself to have extraordinary talent.

But compared to these people, her achievements are like fireflies compared to the bright moon, nothing at all.

Despite facing so many powerful cultivators, Chen Lingxi remained unfazed.

He picked up his wine glass, took another sip, then put it down and glanced at Lin Longyue.

Do you know what they're doing?

"They devour your precious body as demons devour human flesh, each benefiting from it."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Princess Yunhe, Chu Linzi, Jiang Runian, and Liu Yuqing, a chilling smile playing on his lips.

"That is why they have achieved such a level of cultivation."

Having cultivated like this for so long, he was unwilling to take even the slightest risk. His gaze returned to Lin Longyue's face, his eyes devoid of emotion: "I came here today, and instead of killing me, they actually want to let me go."

Lin Longyue was struck dumb, standing there stunned.

She turned her head sharply to look at Princess Yunhe, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Princess Yunhe's expression changed instantly.

She blurted out, "Stay—!"

But before she could finish speaking, Chen Lingxi suddenly spoke up.

He parted his lips slightly and uttered two words.

"Shut up!"

The Dragon's Roar Technique was activated instantly!

The words "but" struck Princess Yunhe like a thunderclap, as if a true dragon had been awakened and let out a roar!

The whistling sound pierced her eardrums and poured straight into her brain, causing her blood and qi to tremble violently. The words that followed stuck in her throat, and she could no longer utter a single word!

At that moment, Chen Lingxi's dragon roar suppressed everyone.

The five golden figures in the courtyard simultaneously paused in their breathing, and the two dazed young figures were so shaken by the soft shout that one of them slid off his chair and fell to the ground.

Chen Lingxi even slowly drank a glass of wine and placed it on the table.

A murderous glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, like a volcano that had been suppressed for countless years finally erupting at this moment.

"I've wanted to kill you all for a long time."

2

He said softly.

Then, he suddenly snapped his fingers—

The movement was extremely light and casual, as if brushing away a small petal clinging to one's clothes.

But in the instant he snapped his fingers, wisps of mist appeared out of thin air in the garden.

The fog arrived without warning, so thick it was almost tangible; wispy, bluish-gray fog churned and swirled wildly in the air.

It spread, and in the blink of an eye, it permeated the entire garden!

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the fog.

The figure emerged from the mist with unhurried steps, as if stepping into this place from another world.

He was dressed in a moon-white long robe, and his face was extremely handsome, so handsome that he didn't seem like a living person, but rather like a jade statue enshrined in a glass pavilion.

However, his face was extremely pale, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and a faint light flickered deep in his pupils.

As soon as this person appeared, everyone in the courtyard felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

The oppressive feeling did not come from qi and blood, but from a more mysterious and lofty power, like an invisible mountain descending from the sky, pressing down on everyone's heads, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Everyone was surprised and puzzled, wondering where this person came from.

Jiang Runian's expression darkened first, but he was a person who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Golden Body, protected by the Purple Grinding Golden Wheel. How could he be frightened by a person in the mist?

He roared, and the golden blood and qi in his body erupted. With a stomp of his foot, the bluestone floor tiles cracked inch by inch.

He formed his right palm, and the purple-gold light at the edge of his palm was concentrated to the extreme. He then unleashed the move "Calling to Heaven Hand"!

Where the palm wind passed, the air was compressed and left streaks of white, and his whole body was like a golden afterglow, rushing towards Chen Lingxi!

The moonlight in the forest changed color.

The power of that palm strike was so great that even she, standing several feet away, could feel the scorching wind from it. If it had landed squarely, even the golden protective shield of a golden-bodied figure would have been shattered.

But Chen Lingxi remained unmoved, even continuing to drink.

Princess Yunhe, Chu Linzi, Liu Yuqing, and the female musician were also busy.

They were all seasoned veterans who knew the importance of striking first.

The person in the mist was clearly no ordinary person. If this person were to join forces with the Ghost-Faced General, their chances of survival today would be slim.

Princess Yunhe moved swiftly, her golden aura solidifying into a pale golden streak that shot straight at the figure in the mist.

Chu Linzi drew her sword, its blade flashing like a silver moon, and slashed in the same direction.

Liu and Qing simultaneously extended their hands, flicking their fingers in rapid succession, unleashing several golden rays of light like a torrential rain.

The female musician then made a virtual pluck in the air with both hands, as if plucking an invisible string.

In an instant, the courtyard was filled with golden light and the energy surged like a tide.

The simultaneous attack of the five golden figures was so powerful that even an ordinary military formation would be shattered in an instant.

But the figure in the mist moved.

His movements were extremely simple.

He simply raised his right hand and made a light, almost imperceptible press in the air.

With this press, the world changed color.

The mist within a radius of several dozen feet suddenly surged, as if it were being violently stirred by an invisible giant hand.

The surging mist instantly condensed into countless icy arrows, each three feet long, with a ball of extremely cold ice flame at its tip.

The ice arrows hung densely in mid-air, like an inverted ice crystal forest, their chilling light casting a pale white glow over the entire garden.

Then-

Fire a volley of ice arrows!

The speed was unbelievably fast.

Before Jiang Runian's Heaven-Calling Hand could reach Chen Lingxi, an ice arrow pierced through his Purple-Gold Wheel.

The seemingly indestructible golden wheel shattered silently before this ice arrow, like paper.

The ice arrow continued its advance, piercing his chest and exiting through his back, bringing with it a cloud of blood mist, pinning him to the artificial hill behind him.

Liu Yuqing's ten golden rays were intercepted and shattered by three ice arrows in mid-air. Another ice arrow shot from the side and pierced her neck.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't utter another word!

The female musician plucked strings in the air with her ten fingers, and bursts of qi and blood burst out, spreading in all directions, causing the incoming ice arrows to pause slightly.

But the figure in the mist simply raised its left hand again, making a loose grasping motion. The air around the female musician suddenly froze, as if an invisible hand had grabbed her and squeezed her tightly!

Click.

Bones shattered!

He collapsed to the ground!

Lin Longyue remained seated in the same spot, her entire being resembling a stone statue.

Her face was completely drained of color.

She watched as Princess Yunhe's arms were severed by an ice blade, and she fell into a pool of blood.

Chu Linzi's longsword shattered into pieces, the blades clanging as they fell to the ground!

Of the five golden statues, three died and two were seriously injured in the blink of an eye.

The figure in the mist didn't even move its feet.

He simply raised his hand, pressed down twice and clenched it once, and then, as if crushing a few ants, he scattered all the powerful figures in the courtyard.

Chen Lingxi put down her wine glass and stood up.

He walked up to Chu Linzi and looked down at the young lady of the manor.

She fell to the ground, her golden protective aura completely shattered, and her purple-golden wheel dimmed.

Her right arm was severed at the shoulder by an ice blade, and blood gushed out, staining her black outfit a dark red.

Her lips trembled, and her once fierce eyes were now filled with fear.

Chen Lingxi didn't say anything, but simply raised her right foot and stomped down.

A dull, muffled sound.

Blood plasma gushed out.

Everything fell silent.

Lin Longyue suddenly closed her eyes.

Chen Lingxi ignored the corpses and used her spiritual energy to grab Princess Yunhe and lift her up from the ground.

Princess Yunhe's arms were severed, and blood flowed profusely.

She forced her eyes open, staring at the grotesque, blue-faced demon, and managed to utter a few broken words.

"I—I am a trusted confidant of the Crown Prince Immortal—" Her voice was hoarse, "and I am the daughter of the Eastern King, whose father is a Xuan-level expert—you—you cannot kill me—"

Chen Lingxi felt somewhat annoyed.

He carried Princess Yunhe through the moon gate, across the covered walkway, and arrived at the pool of blood in the backyard.

The corpses lying haphazardly by the pool were still there, the wounds on their wrists no longer bleeding, leaving only a dark red stain of blood on the stone slab.

The pool water still shimmered with a deep turquoise hue, and the white mist on the surface continued to swirl slowly, as if nothing had ever happened.

Chen Lingxi threw Princess Yunhe onto the edge of the pond.

She fell onto the bluestone slab, the blood from her severed arm leaving two long trails on the ground.

"You—you can't—" Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Chen Lingxi stared at her, then suddenly lowered her head, reached out, and slowly removed the ghost mask from her face.

Beneath the demon mask was a young face.

This face is somewhat handsome, yet it possesses a calm and reserved demeanor, with a composure between the brows that belies its age.

But for Princess Yunhe, it was like the most terrifying thing in the world!

"you----"

Princess Yunhe's face turned deathly pale.

Princess Yunhe had seen this face many times!

He was called a "lackey" many times!

In the east hall of the west courtyard, she casually ordered Sun Ninghu to break one of his legs.

In the main hall of the Beast Fighting Palace, she once sat languidly in a chair, watching him being herded into the arena as if he were a fighting beast.

In the back garden of the Marquis of Baosu's residence, she had often accepted those flower arrangements and praised, "This servant's skills are quite good."

But now this servant—has become a demon god who can kill them at will by sending out just one person!

"Princess Yunhe," Chen Lingxi finally spoke.

Princess Yunhe's pupils suddenly contracted.

She stared at that familiar face, and her body began to tremble violently. The trembling was not from pain, but from a deep, bone-deep fear.

"Spare me—"

"You will die today." Chen Lingxi lowered her head, her gaze calm. "Even if the Crown Prince himself came, he could not save you."

He raised his hand.

A wisp of bluish-green light emanated from his fingertips, flickering uncertainly in the sunlight, tearing the surrounding air into countless fine white streaks.

Green Edge Technique.
