I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 277 - 199 My Blade, Slay Gods!

Chapter 277: Chapter 199 My Blade, Slay Gods!

In the ancient ruins, below the Abyss.

Strong contenders from all directions had already gathered beneath the dilapidated temple, competing for opportunities with their own abilities.

This place was the grand hall where the supreme town object resided, drawing the cream of the crop from within the ruins.

Many competitors watched as the wood charm was about to succeed in seizing the divine statue and making its escape, wrapped around it.

However, they saw the wood charm suddenly disintegrate, the sky above shone with dazzling golden light, and Lord Qingling revealed his Golden Body here.

Though the wood charm split in two, leaving but half a body, it still ranked among the upper echelon of fierce Evil Spirits!

In the blink of an eye, this half-body was gone!

The might of Lord Qingling still lingered!

At this moment, his presence commanded all directions, and every newcomer from afar bowed down in worship!

Although some were cautious, momentarily sensing something amiss with the situation, the opportunity before them was compelling, and, having witnessed it with their own eyes, there was not one who did not submit.

Moreover, during the time of Old Ming Xin Xiang, that youngster from the High Willow City Observatory, Wu Chang, was regarded as an "ancient County Magistrate," with those seeking fortune grudgingly offering their respects and bows.

Not to mention that now, this was unmistakably the genuine Lord Qingling, with the divine statue’s Golden Body manifesting and the wood charm destroyed in an instant!

"Wish to take the venerable Lord Qingling as my master, to continue the legacy of my predecessors!"

Such voices rose and fell, echoing from all sides.

Many Evil Spirits, like the Rain Shaman and the Swamp Spirit Elder, all transformed into human forms and bowed down in reverence.

There were also Jiao dragons, malicious wolves, and ferocious tigers, all prostrating and lowering their heads to show respect.

Whether it was the Human Clan powerhouses from Qifeng Prefecture or high-ranking individuals from Tribulation Ash, without exception, they all knelt down in submission.

Even in the distant halls, where competitors were vying for the nine town objects, they all sensed the anomaly and, hearing the words of Lord Qingling, knelt in unison.

Even the accomplished disciples of the Li Shen Sect, who had already obtained town objects, brought out their Sword Qi gourds and exited the halls to kneel before the temple.

"Wish to take the venerable Lord Qingling as my master, to continue the legacy of my predecessors!"

At this moment, high above, despite the wood charm’s half-body being dead, the divine platform was still supported high in the sky by a mass of vines.

Lin Yan sat cross-legged above, with hands stacked upon his abdomen, wielding the Golden Body Divine Power as if a True God had descended into the world.

In this spectacle, Human Clan members, Tribulation Ash, demons, Evil Spirits, and strange beings all sincerely knelt down in worship!

During the Old Ming Xin Xiang, it had been merely for show, without true willingness, and though a small amount of incense was received, it ultimately proved futile.

But at this moment, the earnest reverence in the hearts of the crowd meant there was not a single dissenter.

Among them, some who had already taken the Old Ming sacrificial offerings, used three sticks of incense to pay homage to this "Golden Body statue"!

Although Lin Yan could not perceive the power of the incense, he could sense the willow tree growing at an extremely rapid pace.

The intangible power flowed like water!

All present were elite powerhouses of Qifeng Prefecture, and as the incense converged, it almost formed a river!

Although no single stream of incense could compare to that offered by the "Residual Prison Mansion Lord."

But as they joined together, they already surpassed the incense paid by the Residual Prison Mansion Lord alone!

"Little tree, you’re growing so fast..." exclaimed the Little White Ape, "Master is truly ingenious, fixing this moment to reveal your divine might; every creature in the Abyss is paying homage to you!"

"When can the small Venerate completely refine the supreme town object?" Lin Yan asked.

"Is Master asking me? Although I am of dual lineage and exceedingly clever, I can’t see through it..." the Little White Ape grumbled, "but looking closely, it seems to have sped up quite a bit compared to before."

"Half an hour..."

At that moment, an aged voice arose by his ear—it was none other than the residual thoughts of Lord Qingling within the supreme town object.

"That’s too long."

Looking down, Lin Yan thought, "Surely we can’t force them to continue bowing for half an hour? Pretenses will hold for a short time, but much longer risks exposing flaws!"

After that single remark, Lord Qingling offered no further response.

"Then why not run now?" whispered the Little White Ape, "That wood charm seemed to want to wrap up the supreme town object and escape right away... It didn’t plan on safely refining it under the threat of so many strong adversaries!"

"Fool, didn’t you hear? That Observatory traitor who seized the Original Tree Heart shouted out for the Tribulation Ash Great Sect Leader as he sacrificed his life to cover for the wood charm’s retreat!"

Lin Yan replied, "If the wood charm were to flee, it would surely have help waiting but if it were old me going, I would face interception! What would follow are these guys chasing to kill me..."

He looked down at the Nirvana Divine Egg in his hand, closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again.

If it would take another half an hour to refine it completely,

then at this moment, he would not refine it!

His initial plan had been to intimidate the powerhouses from all sides into prostrating three times and nine kowtows to obtain the incense power.

Since he had achieved the desired incense, there was no need to rush this particular moment!

On the divine platform above, Lin Yan slowly rose to his feet, the Golden Body Divine Power still active, with brilliance shining and divine might vast.

He grasped the blade in his hand, looking down at the most powerful of his enemies.

"What does Master intend to do?"

The Little White Ape suddenly grew anxious.

Lin Yan’s eyes gleamed brilliantly as he looked down.

The many powerful beings below, seeing Lord Qingling’s Golden Body on the divine platform, began to rise slowly, filled with even greater excitement.

They believed that Lord Qingling was personally about to select a successor!

Maybe there was no need to fight to the death for the supreme town object!

Perhaps, even if one’s cultivation was slightly inferior, they might still be eligible for the legacy!

Under the watchful eyes of all Human Clan, Tribulation Ash, demons, Evil Spirits, and strange creatures, Lord Qingling remained expressionless, his gaze indifferent as he looked down upon all living beings.

"With my cultivation alone, I could barely be considered a mid-level contender in the Qi Refining Realm."

"With the power of Demon Suppression, I am better suited to exorcise demons and exterminate evil!"

"Coupled with the perfection of the Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade technique, within the ranks of the Human Clan of Qifeng Prefecture, perhaps not many can match me!"

"What’s more important is that within the Nirvana Divine Egg, there is not only you but also the tree!"

"Although the tree has not been refined into the ultimate town object, its incense is so vigorous, and its growth rate is extremely fast. It has even gained the residual mana from Venerate Liu’s past."

"Tell me, at this moment, inside the ruins, who can block my blade?"

Lin Yan drew his blade from its sheath and said slowly, "The question is, where should this blade fall?"

"Master, where do you think it should fall?" the Little White Ape suddenly asked.

"Naturally, it should fall where the Evil Qi is densest!" Lin Yan replied.

"This flood dragon has not completely shed its serpentine form, but it has already surpassed the Qi Refining Realm. Among us here, its cultivation is the highest," the Little White Ape responded. "Why not slay this flood dragon?"

"Why use a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken?"

Lin Yan said calmly, "My blade can communicate with the divine. If it falls on it, it would be like using a cleaver to cut earthworms, a waste of good material."

He looked down from above, his gaze becoming ever more indifferent.

At this moment, high in the sky, the abyss was like a chopping block, and all below were mere fish on the board.

He would make only this one cut. If it were to kill but one being, it would indeed be wasteful.

His Mou Guang flickered as he contemplated where to strike in order to kill more enemies and harvest more Evil Qi.

And looking down at the warriors below was like being Lord Qingling, high above the clouds, picking the successor among them.

Yet unbeknownst to them, the "Divine Spirit" they were worshiping was selecting among them—deciding who would die on the spot.

And the Little White Ape, in an instant, understood his master’s profound meaning.

"Master, if you strike here, you can slay six, one at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, and two great demons," said the Little White Ape.

"If you strike there, you only kill four, but three of them are at the peak of Qi Refinement Realm, and one is a ferocious evil spirit."

"There’s also this side to consider. The gains are actually the greatest here, slaying eleven, but with this strike, the Central Guard General of the Wutong Temple will have to be buried as well..."

The Little White Ape said in a low voice, "Of course, I think dying under this blade is an extreme honor for him. With ten great foes as company in death and contributing Evil Qi to you, Master, it’s a joy for all."

Lin Yan glanced over and laughed, "The Central Guard General of the guard army has made outstanding contributions and never broken the rules. If I let my blade fall, while the gains would be greatest, what’s the difference between him and Wang Yuan, Liang Hu, Shi Xu, and the others?"

"So, Master, how do you plan to use this blade?" asked the Little White Ape.

"The might of this blade can now communicate with the divine..."

Lin Yan looked ahead, his eyes gleaming, and said, "Why not use this blade to slay a god?"

The noises rolled like the thunder of ten thousand horses, coming from afar.

All the warriors were shocked, turning their heads toward the commotion.

They saw a blood light flickering, illuminating half of the world amidst the darkness of the Abyss.

The hundred-zhang high Blood Slaughter God General, holding a large halberd, caused the ground to quake with every step he took.

The Divine Power surged wildly, stronger and stronger, terrifying everyone who saw it!

"DIE!!!!!"

An angry roar exploded, sounding like a great bell, echoing through the Abyss!

It was as if the heavens and earth were shaking!

All there prided themselves on their not inconsiderable cultivation, and without exception, they were all stricken with fear and astonishment!

Upon the Broken Golden Bridge, no one could withstand his halberd’s might. They watched helplessly as the Blood Slaughter God General broke the bridge and they plunged into the chasm below.

But at that moment, a golden light shone from above.

The figure of Lord Qingling stood on the divine platform above, golden light shimmering so intensely that it was blinding.

In a trance, they saw Lord Qingling draw his blade from its sheath and with an effortless stroke, unleashed a cut.

Below in the Abyss, time seemed to freeze.

Lightning exploded!

Blood-colored blade’s edge!

In an instant, a hundred-zhang long blade light was born, tearing through the darkened sky, heading straight down!

This Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade carried Lin Yan’s True Qi, the Divine Power of incense, the mana of Venerate Liu, and the Divine Skills of Demon Suppression!

"How audacious! You dare to dream of slaying a god?"

The Blood Slaughter God General’s body surged with blood light that tinted half the sky scarlet, as if a sea of blood reflected upon the heavens.

His eyes were filled with an extreme chilling coldness, his anger fiery.

Commoners! Mere ants of this mortal world!

Before Divine Power, how dare you draw a blade?

Boom!

The halberd came crashing down!

The hundred-zhang blade light was intercepted by the halberd!

As if effortless, like the Broken Golden Bridge, the blade light was cut in two by the halberd!

"You dare!!!"

Before the creatures below could recover from their shock, the roar of the Blood Slaughter God General echoed with surprise and rage.

They saw the hundred-zhang blade light break in the middle, splitting into two halves.

The two halves of blade light suddenly diverted!

One blade went up, severing the head!

The other blade went down, cutting through the waist!

"The term ’slay’ is for those who commit the act of insubordination!"

Lin Yan’s voice was calm as he said slowly, "Today, I am merely slaying a god!"
