Chapter 605: Chapter 364 The Real Kill Game! _2

"What’s wrong with marrying a few more? I have over twenty children too!"

The Great City Guard sneered, "In this era, having a few more children just means sowing more seeds for the next generation, doesn’t it? To be honest, in terms of contributions to the Human Clan, having children is more significant than fighting on the Taixuan Divine Mountain back in the days!"

"It’s just you, ugly kid, watching me get married every day."

"Every time I marry one more, you accuse me of misconduct and dock a year’s salary!"

"Bah! Dock it if you want, I have accumulated enough merits from the Taixuan Divine Mountain to have it docked for a hundred years. I’ll marry two more concubines this year, just to annoy you!"

He used his saber as a pen, True Qi splattering, sketching the array runes.

Lin Yan frowned slightly, looking at the Yuan Shan City Commander.

The Commander spoke in a very low voice, his True Qi transmitting the sound, "This guy lost a part of his soul, only his obsession remains long-lasting. He has not lost control for years because he frequently marries wives and takes concubines! His variant True Qi backlashes severely, each time he uses a large amount of True Qi, he must be reminded by ’marrying and having children’, otherwise, he’ll feel life is dull and tasteless..."

"..."

Lin Yan’s eyelid twitched slightly.

At first glance, it seems rather intriguing and enviable.

But on closer thought, being a peak of the Qi Refining Realm from the Human Clan, there is no other way to restrain his loss of control.

Only reliance on such thoughts to remind him not to lose control!

Isn’t it also a kind of sorrow?

"..."

Lin Yan took a deep look at the Great City Guard.

Before arriving at Yuan Shan City, he had initially learned about the power structure and upper-level figures of Yuan Shan City from the Observatory.

But the transmitted information, after all, is limited in length and only mentions the general.

Normally, one’s life history would rarely be transmitted in full detail.

Moreover, since he was merely passing through Yuan Shan City, not settling down, he only learned a little.

It is impossible to memorize all the achievements, temperaments, and learned skills of every local leader at every place he visited.

This would consume considerable energy and time both for the Observatory informants and Lin Yan himself!

"It’s sealed!"

The Great City Guard wiped his sweat and said, "I added a layer of formation to the body and the head separately! This morgue also has a formation! This whole City Guard Mansion, every brick and tile, has been reinforced by me over the long years, and can be considered a large formation!"

He looked at Lin Yan and said, "Even if there’s something abnormal that erupts, it’ll be blocked by the formations... With three formations set, it should not totally collapse and endanger the city’s people!"

With three formations, he was confident it wouldn’t harm the citizens.

But the formation on the corpse and the morgue’s formation were set up hastily, making him not too confident.

If anything abnormal erupts, with luck, it should be confined around the corpse.

But if it’s too powerful, the second formation will isolate the anomaly inside the morgue.

In his view, the most likely outcome would be that both formations fail to hold, and the City Guard Mansion gets destroyed.

"If luck is bad, and the three formations get destroyed, it will harm all sides within the city."

The Great City Guard looked at Lin Yan and said, "But with the Saint Master here, where great fortune resides, it surely won’t be the worst-case scenario!"

Lin Yan said nothing.

He felt nothing unusual on Chen Long’s body.

But Chen Long’s corpse already showed visible abnormal conditions.

Logically speaking, the "source" of this abnormality, hidden within the living Chen Long, had already been slain by him.

A dead Chen Long, even if triggering abnormalities, shouldn’t cause too big a threat!

"..."

Yuan Shan City’s Commander held a fragment, and said softly, "I don’t sense a strong Qi mechanism, logically, there should be no danger!"

This was a fragment of a Magic Artifact from the Ancient Old Gods.

It was too damaged to bestow the Refining God’s Power.

Though it couldn’t enhance his combat ability, it could improve his perception, comparable to a Primordial Spirit’s exploration.

The fragment was familiar to Lin Yan.

Sourced from an ancient Treasure Mirror, currently named the Eternal Mirror by the Human Clan.

Records existed at the Holy Land, and the largest fragment was with the True Master at the Refining Hall.

The Hundred Generation Mirror, assisting the Kaiyuan Creation God Skill, was crafted to Lin Yan’s specifications!

But the main runes of the Hundred Generation Mirror were largely imitated from this ancient Divine Mirror!

"I also have not sensed a too-strong Qi mechanism."

Lin Yan stated.

If Chen Long truly harbored any formidable "item" inside him, he shouldn’t have been easily killed by a single slash.

Even if this "item" wasn’t designed for self-preservation, there should have been some clue!

He examined it closely, eyes narrowing, and said softly, "When I first learned of the anomaly with Chen Long’s corpse, I guessed it might be concealing Old God’s Mana... Now it seems I guessed wrong!"

"Maybe not!"

Yuan Shan City’s Commander said softly, "There seem to be traces of a Divine Spirit... but the aura is faint enough to be ignored."

If it was the Mana of an Old God, it should have unleashed its power by now!

Power from an Old God is no ordinary thing!

"The aura is faint enough to be ignored, meaning even if it is the power of an Old God, it should only be a weak strand or thread..."

Lin Yan frowned and said, "A strand of extremely thin Divine Power can’t kill me!"

He looked at Chen Long’s body before him, pondering, "You all step back!"

As his voice fell, Lin Yan unsheathed his saber and sliced open Chen Long’s chest directly.

Everyone around stayed alert, not daring to speak, their breath held.

Although the Qi mechanism in Chen Long’s body was too weak to detect, it still involved ancient Divine Spirits!

"It’s the liver!"

Yuan Shan City’s Commander, holding the shard, softly said, "A weak sliver of Divine Power is in the liver... It is reviving and spreading to the skin, transforming into scale armor!"

"This sliver of Divine Power is too weak to cause major changes to Chen Long’s body."

"But it’s slowly altering his body."

He hesitated and asked, "But how does Divine Power cause his body to go out of control?"

"Contaminated Old God’s Mana."

Lin Yan pondered, "It’s not the Divine Power making his body lose control, it’s already out of control, corroded by strange Qi... The remaining Divine Power in him is too weak, tainted by the uncanny!"

After a pause, Lin Yan said, "The divine remains in his body aren’t alone."

The Night Light Saber cut open Chen Long’s chest.

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, including intestines, were fully exposed.

Many of Yuan Shan City’s high ranks present had fought Evil and destroyed Tribulation Ash, appearing quite calm before the scene.

But another group, although experienced in past killings, had rarely been on the frontline recently... Never having witnessed such a scene of a person fully dissected, found it somewhat unsettling.

"Text!"

Yuan Shan City’s Commander clenched the fragment in his hand and said softly, "Different texts, different traces of Divine Power... Could it be that before breaking into the Refining God Realm, he found multiple Old Gods to imbue him with Divine Power, forcibly breaking through the Refining God Realm?"

"Now it seems the Divine Power is depleted, leaving only traces."

"Just like black text written on a white sheet, but the ink is washed away, leaving a white sheet again, only through close inspection can the colorless traces be detected!"

"The text on the liver, the Divine Power hasn’t been completely drained, like the ink not thoroughly removed."

"Now it appears Chen Long drained all Divine Power within, breaking through to the Refining God Realm, with a trace left in the liver."

He said, frowning slightly.

Everyone listened in awe at his words.

But hearing that it was merely traces of Divine Power, they were relieved, and leaned closer to examine.

"These traces of Divine Power are all ancient Divine Texts, each from a different Divine Spirit!"

"Each Divine Text is distinct!"

"I recognize these Divine Texts..."

At this moment, a Deputy Commander suddenly had a glint in his eyes, saying softly, "Nine... Heavens..."

With a slash!

His voice hadn’t finished!

A saber pierced through his throat!

The sudden turn of events startled everyone, energy erupting as they retreated!

Lin Yan, expressionless, gripped the bloodied saber, covering Chen Long’s body.

BOOM!!!

Thunder roared across the skies!

He seemed unfazed, withdrawing the bloody saber, grasping the Deputy Commander’s chin, and said solemnly, "From start to finish, was this your Tribulation Ash with the Nine Old Gods, the real deadly trap?"
