I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

However, the book has not been going well. The first chapter was censored before it was even published, and it still hasn't been signed after more than 20,000 words.

Laugh to death.

It's still the familiar harem novel, with a sister-in-law, an empress, and a daughter. Ahem, please note that the daughter is not part of the harem.

The male protagonist isn't like the one I wrote; he's a bit ruthless.

If you're interested, go check it out! I've even added extra chapters to promote the book!

Chapter 497 Believe Me

After the Venerable Master Miaofa immobilized Lin Yi, a very interesting idea suddenly came to mind.

She wanted Jiang Linglong to see Lin Yi get beaten up, and she also wanted Lin Yi's other women to see him get beaten up. She wanted Lin Yi to see if his women would leave the Crystal Palace for him.

If she were to come out, she would kill the person who did so without hesitation, and Lin Yi would surely be in great pain.

Even if he doesn't come out of it, it will still make Lin Yi see clearly how worthless so-called feelings are in the face of life and death.

Isn't that more interesting?

"A mirage!"

With a light hand gesture, the Venerable Master Miaofa isolated the Crystal Palace from the outside world.

Inside the Crystal Palace, a giant water curtain appeared, displaying images of the scenes outside.

The voice of the Venerable Master Miaofa was clearly heard throughout the Crystal Palace.

"Do you see that? Your men are overestimating themselves and challenging me."

So, I've decided to play a little game with you. Some of you are his loved ones, some are his friends. I wonder if any of you would be willing to die for him?

Everyone stared at the water curtain with solemn expressions, while Lan Yu looked at Jiang Linglong with worry.

Jiang Linglong was still somewhat delirious, but as she watched Lin Yi being frozen in mid-air, her eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

"Calm down, don't lose your temper!"

It took Lin Yi half an hour of feeding him blood to calm him down, so we can't let all our efforts go to waste.

The Venerable Miaofa's voice continued: "There are seven people inside. I happen to have a supernatural power, the Seven Absolute Swords of True Martial. Even a Venerable can only withstand seven of my swords at most."

For every one of you who comes out, I will take one less sword strike from him. Of course, I don't know how many sword strikes he can withstand.

"Once I defeat the Seven Swords, the rest of us can leave alive. How about that? Isn't this game fun?"

Both Orange Light and Green Ivy looked terrified.

To kill someone and then destroy their spirit—that's terrifying!

Worried that Lin Yi wouldn't be able to see the reactions of everyone in the Crystal Palace, Venerable Miaofa thoughtfully added a small screen for him so that both sides could see each other.

"Love is the most vulnerable to test. I'll give you thirty breaths to consider who will take the first blow?"

As he spoke, Venerable Miaofa conjured a purple light sword in his hand. It had only a blade and no hilt. The purple light shone around the blade, which was surrounded by crackling electric sparks, making it look extremely terrifying.

"I go!"

Qu Jing got up to leave, but was stopped by the crowd.

"I'll go. I'm a ghost. Maybe I can withstand a sword strike."

He Dong's words were not very convincing.

Ghosts are indeed more resilient, especially since He Dong is a ghost with a physical body. Even if his physical body dies, his soul may still exist, and he can simply become a ghost cultivator again.

However, the enemy is a god.

If even gods can vanquish ghosts, do they really need a second move?

Everyone knew in their hearts that none of them could withstand a single sword strike from Venerable Miaofa.

Even though they didn't know what level the Venerable One was, the terrifying power emanating from the Seven Absolute Swords of True Martial made them truly feel the threat of death.

Someone has to go out and take a few swords for Lin Yi. The more people who go out, the greater the chance that Lin Yi will survive.

“I’ll go instead! You are all the master’s wives. If you die, he will definitely be sad. But I haven’t spent much time with him, so he won’t be too upset.”

No one wanted Yu Xue to die. After all, Yu Xue was only defeated and subdued by Jiang Linglong. Such a matter of life and death should never be Yu Xue's turn.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xue stepped forward herself, which surprised everyone. Yu Xue had always seemed like a child, so this sudden action was quite illogical.

"Why are you doing this?"

He Dong asked.

Yu Xue replied with a bewildered look, "I thought to myself, 'I'll just do it. Do I need any other reason?'"

This kid is so innocent.

The others naturally disagreed with Yu Xue's actions, and the next second, the purple lightsaber pierced into Lin Yi's abdomen.

"Thirty breaths have passed, and no one has come forward. This sword strike will be taken by Lin Yi. How about it, does it hurt? If it hurts, then make a decision quickly!"

Inside the Crystal Palace, everyone glared angrily at Venerable Miaofa.

Seeing their angry expressions, Venerable Miaofa became even more pleased. Her lips curled up, making her look even more sarcastic, and she looked at Lin Yi and said, "How about it? Seeing your women vying to shield you from the sword, aren't you very moved?"

But is it possible that they don't want to take the sword for you, so they're deliberately arguing?

"hehe."

Faced with Venerable Miaofa's provocations, Lin Yi smiled instead.

"They don't need to block my sword. I'd like to try and see if I can withstand all seven of the True Martial Seven Absolute Swords you mentioned."

As he spoke, Lin Yi called out to the people inside the Crystal Palace, "No need to come out, trust me."

The Venerable Master Miaofa's smile froze, because among the people in the Crystal Palace, apart from Jiang Linglong who was still struggling on the verge of losing control, no one else was arguing about who should step forward to block the sword.

Are you just going to listen to Lin Yi like this?

But what's the point of playing like that?

"If I strike with this sword, you might die, you know that?"

With a stern voice and expression, Venerable Miaofa conjured a crimson light sword, its power even greater than before.

But the people inside the Crystal Palace remained unmoved.

The Venerable Master Miaofa then began to mock: "You're such a fool. Look, none of them are willing to die for you, and you're carrying the burden all by yourself. Is it worth it?"

This is a double blow, damaging Lin Yi's confidence on one hand and the self-esteem of everyone in the Crystal Palace on the other.

However, under the Venerable Master Miaofa's teasing words, Lin Yi just smiled.

"Draw your sword, enough talk, let me see your Seven Absolute Swords."

The Venerable Master Miaofa's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his sword shot straight toward Lin Yi's chest.

If the needle were stuck in other places, Lin Yi could hold on a little longer, but if it were stuck here, it would surely cost him half his life.

When they see his miserable state, I don't believe the people in the Crystal Palace will remain unmoved.

If they remain unmoved, she will torture Lin Yi in the most cruel way, and see how long the people in the Crystal Palace can hold out.

At this moment, Venerable Miaofa did not consider the possibility that Lin Yi might break free from the immobilization spell. After striking with her first sword, she quickly immobilized Lin Yi again. Every sword strike was like hitting a target; there was no way she could miss.

However, she missed her target with that sword strike!

Lin Yi broke her immobilization spell and launched a sudden attack, disappearing from the spot with a hidden water escape technique.

His target was not Venerable Miaofa, but the orange light and green ivy behind Venerable Miaofa.

When they discovered that Lin Yi was completely powerless against the Venerable Master Miaofa, both True Lords lowered their guard.

Little did they know, Lin Yi had willingly taken that sword strike, even spitting out blood, all to make himself look as pathetic as possible and to make the two True Lords think he was already trapped.

However, Lin Yi's injury was not fatal.

The Seven Absolute Swords of True Martial are indeed powerful. Lin Yi could feel a thunderous force wreaking havoc within his body, but Lin Yi's cultivation was all focused on his physical body. No matter how strong it was, Lin Yi could endure it.

The best time for him to strike was when Venerable Miaofa unleashed his second sword strike.

At this point, no one would be prepared for him to suddenly launch an attack.

Many people believe that a desperate struggle is a last-ditch effort made when a cornered animal is in dire straits.

But Lin Yi went berserk on his second sword strike, catching both Orange Light and Green Ivy off guard.

When they realized Lin Yi was missing, Cheng Guang and Lu Luo immediately tried to escape, but it was too late.

"Certainly!"

With the same decree, Lin Yi's soul also connected with the forces of heaven and earth, stabilizing the yin and yang and the five elements around the orange light and the green ivy.

Cheng Guang possesses a powerful light-transformation technique, which is indeed quite formidable.

However, even light cannot escape the immobilization spell.

Because he possessed the ability to escape, Lin Yi killed him first.

The Demon-Slaying Sword pierced through the heart of the orange light, and the blood-sucking began!

Normally, a single sword strike cannot kill a deity or immortal. Deities and immortals possess immense vitality; they wouldn't die even if their heads were chopped off. Only the obliteration of a deity constitutes death.

However, after drinking the blood of immortals and gods, the Demon-Slaying Sword awakened its dormant power.

While drinking the blood of immortals and gods, they also seize their souls.

That hidden, unleashed malevolent energy is a powerful weapon that obliterates the soul. The souls of immortals and gods are first corrupted by the malevolent energy, and then devoured and obliterated, thus killing an immortal or god.

After flipping through the Demon-Slaying Manual, Lin Yi didn't stop. He immediately teleported to Green Luo's side, ready to strike again.

But at this moment, Venerable Miaofa also realized what was happening and quickly used his magic to save them.

"substitute!"

Lin Yi chopped off Green Ivy's head with his sword, but it only caused a splash.

The Venerable Master Miaofa used water to create a substitute for Green Ivy, and Green Ivy appeared beside her.

The situation changed instantly, and Venerable Miaofa's face turned ashen.

Lin Yi actually killed her subordinate right in front of her. Wasn't that a slap in the face?
