The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

The moment she opened her eyes, it was as if a beam of light had suddenly been drawn into the darkness in everyone's hearts. The cracks in that light grew wider and wider, leading them to rush towards Chi Miao.

Jin Shengfei quickly ran to Chi Miao's side and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Chi Miao!"

"You're awake! You're finally awake!"

"They...killed Ying Wuhuo! They killed Ying Wuhuo!!!"

Tears welled up in his eyes, as if he were venting a great injustice.

Chi Miao's eyes gradually shifted towards her, seemingly unchanged, yet also as if a complete upheaval had occurred.

Jin Shengfei was stunned by that gaze, or rather... stunned by some indescribable aura emanating from Chi Miao!

Almost everyone felt it at that moment.

Chi Miao exudes an aura that transcends all mortal realms!

This feeling is like being worshipped by countless incense offerings, subtly giving one a sense of sacredness that cannot be despised or violated.

The stone Buddha standing nearby was also shocked, completely unexpected that things would develop in this direction.

"It's the legendary bloodline!"

"I can't be wrong, there's a trace of that aura within this bloodline!!"

The stone Buddha was incredibly excited, yet it seemed to have figured out something at the same time; its feelings were indescribable.

Chi Miao turned her gaze and glanced at Ying Wuhuo, who was lying on the ground to the side with his chest hollowed out.

She narrowed her eyes.

"I see."

She then looked at Feng Mian: "Did you make this?"

Feng Mian was momentarily stunned, but then she didn't take her seriously.

She may have awakened some kind of bloodline, but as long as she is careful not to use any moves that Chi Miao can store power in, she will never be killed by Chi Miao.

Unless You Ying personally intervenes, Chi Miao has virtually no ability to kill her.

"Yes, so what if it was me? The path of cultivation and inheritance belongs only to the strong. Even if someone perishes along the way, it's just because they were less skilled. So what... what if I killed him? What are you going to do with me?"

Chi Miao laughed, a hint of disdain flashing in his golden eyes:

"Cultivation is impermanent, life and death are predestined. It's a pity... you messed with the wrong people, the Prodigy Group... our human ally, I've got their back."

"You will pay with your life."

Feng Mian continued to mock, "Small in stature but big in arrogance! If it weren't for that traitor You Ying's intervention, you would surely be dead along with him by now!"

Chi Miao lowered his eyes, chuckled as if he had thought of something amusing, and then turned to look at You Ying: "Let her go."

Without further ado, Youying released the person.

The others were taken aback.

Feng Mian burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha!"

"Stupid! Utterly stupid! You humans are too confident and arrogant. You lack absolute strength, yet you can be easily swayed by a few words. Today is your death—!!"

As she spoke, she gathered her power, transforming into a demon form without reservation, intending to kill Chi Miao using the same methods.

But before he could even touch Chi Miao, and before he could utter the word "death date," he hadn't even spoken.

Then everyone saw a golden light flash around Chi Miao.

The boundless golden light of merit, like a golden ocean, almost enveloped the entire Bloodline Temple!

In an instant, all living beings, including Feng Mian, froze and knelt down uncontrollably before Chi Miao!

"Bang bang bang!!"

One after another, the sound of knees hitting the ground was heard, and their hands were completely flat on the ground, with their heads supported by the backs of their hands.

The feeling of their bodies being out of their control, as if someone were suddenly manipulating their flesh, almost broke their bones!

Despite their pain, they felt a strange sense of submission and surrender towards Chi Miao!

"The golden light of merit... has become even stronger!"

The first thing that came to everyone's mind was this place.

I am ashamed.

Chi Miao hasn't used this ability in a long time because it's easy to accidentally injure teammates.

This time, however, Chi Miao controlled the situation very well, and none of his teammates suffered!

Chi Miao stood up, her red clothes seemingly stained with the blood of countless living beings, the blood leaving traces of the path she had walked.

She stood before the creeping cottonwood, looking down at it.

The closer Feng Mian got, the more she could feel a kind of... inescapable fear stemming from her bloodline, and a sense of unease at having to disobey.

A panic stemming from the bloodline?

How is that possible?!

She is a demon, and a noble among demons! She is one of the ten candidates for Demon King!

How could she have such feelings for a human?!

Feng Mian's sweat clung to her body as she desperately tried to look up to see what was going on.

But when she looked up, it felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her neck, causing excruciating pain that almost broke her back!

"No...impossible!"

"How could you possibly achieve such absolute bloodline suppression against me?"

"How could you, a human, possibly suppress my bloodline?!"

Chi Miaoya's long, bluish-green eyelashes were narrowed, and when she lowered her eyes, they were covered with a mysterious aura.

"Is it hard to understand?"

"Because you are too despicable and lowly."

Her voice suddenly became louder.

"Taking advantage of a weakness to harm our allies is a crime!"

"This sin... you shall atone with your arms!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Mian's two arms exploded!

Bloody and cruel.

No one could explain what happened in that instant.

All living things held their breath.

As soon as Chi Miao opened his mouth, he caused Feng Mian, who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, to lose both arms.

What a terrifying operation!

Chi Miao continued reading:

"Leaking information and inciting all living beings to besiege the human race are two sins."

"I'll repay this sin with my own legs!"

The words fell.

Feng Mian was on the verge of collapse, her eyes bulging out of their sockets. Gone was all her pride and arrogance; instead, she pleaded with Chi Miao like a dog, "No! No! You can't do this! I beg you, please don't! Don't—!!"

Snapped--!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Feng Mian's pleas were useless; her legs burst open, and blood splattered everywhere.

At this moment, she had no limbs and looked exactly like a human pig!

That was more than just a tragedy.

However, it's not over yet.

Chi Miao spoke again:

"To harm my relatives and friends, to rip out their hearts and humiliate them... this is the third sin."

"This crime is unforgivable."

Chi Miao's eyes flashed with gold.

Then, she raised her finger and pointed at Feng Mian.

It's as if nothing happened.

Everyone was surprised.

The earth is shaking!

The entire Bloodline Temple collapsed and crumbled in that instant, with countless boulders crashing down and killing countless lives.

In the end, only one enormous thousand-armed stone Buddha remained.

The stone Buddha's eyes were closed, with tears welling up, giving it a compassionate appearance, but the contemptuous curve of its lips told everyone something else entirely.

It mocks all living beings.

This is a Dharma image left behind by an enlightened being.

One of all the gods and Buddhas!

"The Great, Boundless Thousand-Armed Buddha, with Compassionate Eyes and Merciful Gaze, who vanquishes evil and destroys all wickedness!"

The true appearance of the stone Buddha! Enormous!

At this moment, the stone Buddha, which had remained motionless, suddenly pointed its thousand hands toward Feng Mian!

That's the power.

Surpassing all, destroying heaven and earth! Causing all living beings to tremble in fear and submit to its power!

Under its single finger, all living beings are but ants!

"No……"

"No!!!!"
