I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

No one is indifferent to their past, but Jiang Linglong knew that this person's words could not be trusted!

No matter how curious she was, she couldn't listen to this person's nonsense.

So, with a cold face, Jiang Linglong slashed at him with her sword again.

"Don't be so hostile towards me. After all, I would never harm you, and I have never lied to you."

"Why don't we sit down and have a proper talk? Just treat this as a story; believe it or not is up to you, how about it?"

Jiang Linglong swung her sword several times, but failed to hit the shadowy figure. Clearly, the shadowy figure was far stronger than her, so much so that even though she was openly using an illusion, she couldn't see through the shadowy figure's true nature.

Seeing that Jiang Linglong did not make any further moves, the shadowy figure knew that she had tacitly agreed.

All of this is under control.

"You are not actually human, but an immortal. You have cultivated yourself into a true immortal through countless tribulations and trials."

Jiang Linglong remained silent, showing no particular reaction to this statement.

Whether it's a deity or a human, it doesn't matter.

She's still a zombie!

Seeing Jiang Linglong's expressionless face, the shadowy figure knew what she was thinking.

The shadowy figure spread his hands and said, "You may not know what I mean by 'true immortal.' This is not the immortal who cultivates to become an immortal as we know it in the mortal world, but an immortal who has mastered at least one path to immortality."

In the human world today, those who have comprehended a path to immortality are considered immortals, and those who have reached the Great Perfection can be called Immortal Lords.

"A Celestial Lord is the strongest being in the mortal realm, yet even such a powerful being doesn't have the right to kneel before you. Can you imagine how glorious you were back then?"

"Really? So you're going to tell me that the reason I've become like this is all because of Lin Yi?"

The shadowy figure's words had no effect on Jiang Linglong. She wasn't the kind of person who cared about power and influence; no matter how glorious her past was, she wouldn't reminisce about it.

She didn't want to hear the shadowy figure say any more; she wanted to know the story of the verdict.

The shadowy figure grinned.

Actually, with this disguise, it wasn't easy to see her facial features; she deliberately let Jiang Linglong see them.

"Of course you didn't become like this because of Lin Yi. You became like this because you loved a man to death, and in the end you died."

It's really heartbreaking to think about. You were so persistent back then, but after losing your memory, you fell in love with another man and even got married.

I wonder if your former love can rest in peace now, and if Lin Yi knew about your past, would he still treat you the same way?

"boom!"

Jiang Linglong cleaved the table and chairs in front of the dark figure in two with a single sword strike, and at the same time, the table and chairs burst into flames.

Crimson flames also ignited on Jiang Linglong's body. A red glint flashed in her eyes, but it quickly faded away.

"Are you trying to provoke me?"

Jiang Linglong maintained her composure and did not immediately lose her temper.

What the enemy says may not be the truth.

"I just wanted to tell you the truth. Oh, right, I haven't told you yet, you killed that person with your own hands. You used your judgment to stab him in the heart..."

As the shadowy figure described it, a scene suddenly appeared in Jiang Linglong's mind.

In the scene, she is cold-faced as she pierces the chest of a man whose face is blurred with a sword.

The image flashed by in an instant, but Jiang Linglong's head began to throb with pain.

The red light in her eyes gradually filled her entire pupils, and under the intense pain, her bloodlust surged to an unprecedented level.

While she was still rational, she quickly took out the ice jade jar that Lin Yi had given her, which was filled with Lin Yi's blood.

But before he could drink it, the jar fell into the hands of the shadowy figure.

"I've told you so much, I need to get some reward. This one's mine, you go suck other people's blood. Perfect, there are still living people in this Crystal Palace..."

Chapter 473 Sword Fall

In this world, strength ultimately prevails. At this moment, Jiang Linglong was no match for the shadowy figure and had her curse triggered, so she could only watch helplessly as the shadowy figure snatched her jar.

Jiang Linglong is gradually losing her rationality as she struggles to fight her bloodlust.

But the shadowy figure was incredibly ruthless. She opened the jar and spilled a few drops of Lin Yi's blood, allowing the scent of blood to spread rapidly...

Lin Yi is no longer in the Crystal Palace; now, only Qu Jing, Guan Buping, and Bao Sanniang are alive in the Crystal Palace.

Even if these three people joined forces, they still couldn't defeat Jiang Linglong.

At this moment, Qu Jing sensed a slight unease and quickly put down her embroidery and stepped out of the room.

In the corridor, there was a figure from behind, dressed in red. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly Jiang Linglong.

Qu Jing relaxed a bit, thinking that Jiang Linglong must have fought someone before to feel a sense of crisis.

"Linglong, what happened?"

As Qu Jing spoke, she walked towards Jiang Linglong without any warning, but Jiang Linglong did not react and seemed to freeze.

Qu Jing couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"exquisite?"

Seeing that Jiang Linglong had her back to her, Qu Jing raised her hand and patted Jiang Linglong's shoulder.

Just then, Jiang Linglong suddenly turned around, and a fierce aura rushed towards her. Qu Jing was terrified and before she could react, Jiang Linglong grabbed her neck with both hands.

At this moment, Jiang Linglong's eyes were bloodshot, her face was pale, and when she opened her mouth, she revealed two long fangs, looking like a fierce ghost.

Qu Jing had never seen Jiang Linglong in this state before. Jiang Linglong had always presented herself as a normal person to everyone, to the point that Qu Jing almost forgot that Jiang Linglong was not human, but the Zombie Queen!

"Linglong! Let go!"

Qu Jing struggled to support Jiang Linglong's hands and managed to utter a complete sentence; she felt like she was suffocating.

Jiang Linglong's hands were as strong as iron; she couldn't bend them at all. However, Jiang Linglong's long fingernails pierced her delicate neck, and soon, several streams of blood flowed from the wounds onto Jiang Linglong's hands.

The smell of blood would be more stimulating to the zombies; however, having grown accustomed to Lin Yi's blood, Jiang Linglong had lost interest in the blood of others.

It feels like being starving, but having a plate of food in front of you that you can't eat at all, which makes you even more irritable.

Jiang Linglong was enraged, her heart filled with nothing but the desire to destroy. She flung Qu Jing away, sending her crashing into the wall.

Qu Jing let out a muffled groan, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

This fall really hurt her.

Inside the side hall, Bao Sanniang and Guan Buping were enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet together. They weren't being overly affectionate; they were simply talking about their wonderful future together, which was enough to make them happy.

Suddenly hearing a commotion outside, they exchanged a glance, quickly grabbed their weapons, and went outside. They saw Qu Jing fall against the wall, while Jiang Linglong leaped forward to attack her.

Seeing this, neither of them hesitated.

Guan Buping shouted, "Stop!"

Bao Sanniang immediately unleashed her ultimate technique, the Three-Sword Strike, with one strike capable of splitting Mount Hua in two as she slashed at Jiang Linglong.

Jiang Linglong neither dodged nor evaded, raising her hands to let the two men's swords strike her arms.

Both of these strikes were quite powerful, but when they encountered Jiang Linglong, Guan Buping's sword broke and Bao Sanniang's knife shattered.

Before they could react, Jiang Linglong launched her counterattack.

With two casual, ordinary punches, he sent Bao Sanniang and Guan Buping flying. The two crashed together and lost consciousness on the spot.

"Senior brother! Sister-in-law!"

Qu Jing was still conscious, and upon seeing this scene, she immediately became very anxious.

These two wounded men were not highly skilled to begin with, and were just recovering from serious injuries. Jiang Linglong knew how much force Jiang Linglong could exert with a casual strike.

Her only worry now was that these two blows would kill Guan Buping and Bao Sanniang.

But now is not the time for her to worry about Bao Sanniang and the others. Jiang Linglong is still watching her. Seeing that she is not dead, Jiang Linglong kicked her again.

Qu Jing rolled and barely dodged the attack. Although Jiang Linglong's attack was just a normal attack, her speed was incredibly fast. Qu Jing didn't dodge with her eyes, but rather with the sense of crisis brought by her sword heart, which allowed her to barely escape.

But she wouldn't keep running. After rolling over, she had a long sword in her hand, the fake Demon Slayer Sword.

Although it was a fake, the Demon Slayer was already very intelligent at this point. Sensing Jiang Linglong's immense pressure, it also emitted a faint red light.

This is to resonate with Qu Jing to the greatest extent possible, in order to bring out Qu Jing's strongest fighting power.

"The vast ocean is as beautiful as the three thousand rivers!"

Although Qu Jing was retaliating, she did not lose her composure.

She knew she was no match for Jiang Linglong. What she needed to do now was not to kill Jiang Linglong, but to buy as much time as possible.

As long as we can hold on until Lin Yi comes back, that's fine.

It's unrealistic to expect to defeat Jiang Linglong.

Therefore, she used the most unscrupulous tactic. She had a deep understanding of water-based swordsmanship. Water is the softest of all, which can overcome the hard with the soft.

Jiang Linglong lost her senses and naturally didn't know these tricks. She fought purely on instinct, only hearing clanging sounds as Qu Jing seemed to flow around her like water, constantly washing over her.

It didn't cause her any harm, but she also couldn't catch the water flow.

It's like throwing a stone into water, and the water washing away the stone.

The scene was spectacular, but the damage was zero.

However, this situation wouldn't last forever. Qu Jing had exhausted all her energy to restrain Jiang Linglong, while Jiang Linglong grew angrier the more she fought.

As her anger surged, her strength also increased dramatically.

There are limits to using softness to overcome hardness. When the opponent's strength is too great, all moves are useless.

Jiang Linglong was already fed up with the guy buzzing around her like a fly. She suddenly grabbed Qu Jing's sword and stuffed it into her mouth. With a few crunches, she had eaten all of Qu Jing's sword except for the hilt.

This was Qu Jing's natal spirit sword. Feeling that its demon-slaying spirituality had completely disappeared, Qu Jing was heartbroken.

Without her sword, the swordswoman's strength was greatly reduced. She was no match for Jiang Linglong to begin with, and she was also in a daze because she had lost her sword. The next second, Jiang Linglong grabbed her by the neck again.

"freeze!"

"A ghost!"
