Chapter 120 Jing Ke Makes His Move, Nine Ghosts Appear
The Empress's expression changed slightly: "Imperial Advisor!"
Just as the gray-robed Grand Preceptor was about to make a move, he saw Lin Chen still sitting on the platform, even leisurely pouring himself a glass of wine.
He looked up at the blood-soaked sky and laughed:
"Elder Blood Killer has come from afar, and I, Lin, have failed to greet him properly."
"But today is my wedding day. Isn't it inappropriate for the elder to be so menacing?"
"Still being stubborn even when you're about to die!" Blood Killer grinned savagely, his crimson giant hand pressing down even faster!
But just as the giant hand was only ten feet away from the platform—
A faint shadow emerged from the void.
The shadow was so faint that it was almost invisible; one would not notice it unless they looked closely.
The moment the shadow appeared, it was already clinging to Blood Kill's back.
Then, a pitch-black dagger silently pierced Blood Killer's back.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling brilliance.
It was just a stab.
Simple, direct, and deadly.
Blood Killer's pupils constricted sharply; his Celestial Realm spiritual senses made him feel the danger of death!
He roared, and his body surged with blood-red light, which condensed into nine blood-red shields behind him!
Each shield is engraved with ancient runes and exudes a strong stench of blood.
This is the ultimate martial art of the Yama Palace, "Blood River Protective Shield".
He once used this technique to block a full-force attack from a powerhouse of the same level!
but--
"laugh."
With a soft sound, the dagger pierced through nine blood shields as easily as cutting tofu.
Then, he stabbed it into the back of the heart.
Blood Killer froze, the ferocity in his eyes turning into disbelief.
He looked down at his chest, where a black blade tip pierced through his skin, dripping dark red blood.
"How...how is this possible..." he hissed.
"Who are you……"
The shadow did not answer, but slowly drew its dagger.
Blood Killer's body fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This Supreme Elder of the Yama Palace, who was at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, was killed in a single blow!
The entire room fell silent.
Everyone stared blankly at the slowly dissipating shadow and the bloodied corpse on the ground.
One strike, and a celestial being is killed!
What level of cultivation is this?!
Before the shadow disappeared, it bowed slightly to Lin Chen and then vanished completely.
From beginning to end, no one saw his face clearly, and no one even knew whether he was a man or a woman.
Only a very few top experts felt the chilling killing intent that erupted in that instant.
"Assassin...assassin..." Zhan Tianqiong murmured.
"An assassin at the Celestial Realm... a one-hit kill, a bloodbath..."
Xuanjizi opened his eyes wide, his whisk trembling slightly: "The Way of Shadow Killing... has reached the pinnacle."
If this person intended to assassinate, at least 90% of those present... wouldn't survive the night.
The Empress took a deep breath, her gaze towards Lin Chen incredibly complex.
Just how many trump cards is this guy hiding?
On the platform, Lin Chen put down his wine cup, looked at the Grand Elder of the Purple Robe Pavilion in the air, and smiled:
"Elder, your helper doesn't seem to be up to the task."
The Grand Elder's face turned deathly pale, and he said sternly:
"Form the formation! Twelve Heavenly Gates Formation—World Annihilation!"
The twelve Grandmasters of the Purple Robe Pavilion simultaneously spat out their essence blood, which merged into the formation, instantly turning the golden light net dark red!
The light net contracted, transforming into a blood-red cage covering hundreds of feet!
Within the cage, countless crimson lightning bolts roamed, each one containing an aura of destruction!
This is the ultimate killing move of the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gate Formation—using the essence and blood of twelve grandmasters as a catalyst, it summons heavenly punishment lightning, powerful enough to kill a mid-stage Celestial Being!
But at that moment, Li Chunfeng, who had been silent all along, stood up.
The scholar in the blue robe suddenly had a Bagua array plate in his hand.
He tossed the array plate into the air, and it grew taller in the wind, instantly becoming a hundred feet in size!
"All the stars in the heavens, heed my command!" Li Chunfeng's voice was calm.
"Reverse Yin and Yang, break!"
The array plate rotated, and countless starlight descended from the night sky, pouring into the array plate.
The Bagua runes on the array plate lit up, and a beam of light, interwoven with black and white, shot into the sky, piercing straight into the blood-red cage!
"Sizzle—!!"
The black and white beams of light collided with the blood-red cage, producing a piercing tearing sound!
The blood-red cage trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its surface!
"Impossible!" the First Elder roared.
"The Twelve Capital Heavenly Gate Formation is an ancient inheritance, how could you possibly..."
"Eternal inheritances also depend on who uses them," Li Chunfeng said calmly.
"If Yin Jiuyou were to set up the formation himself, I would have to put in some effort. You... are far from being able to do it."
He pointed and said, "The formation is broken."
"BOOM—!!!"
The blood-red cage shattered! The twelve Grandmasters of the Purple Robe Pavilion screamed simultaneously, their bodies flying backward like kites with broken strings, spraying blood mist everywhere as they flew through the air!
Backlash from the formation!
The Grand Elder also groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
But a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Master! Please make your move!!"
A figure slowly emerged in the night sky.
It was a figure shrouded in a black robe, its face obscured.
But the moment he appeared, the temperature of the entire world suddenly dropped!
Black snowflakes drifted down from the sky, and black frost formed on the ground!
The Purple-Clad Master, Yin Jiuyou, is at the peak of the Celestial Realm!
"Good, very good indeed, the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion." Yin Jiuyou's voice was hoarse.
"To have forced me to take action personally, Lin Chen, you have every reason to be proud."
He raised his hand, palm up.
A black glint appeared in his palm.
The black light rapidly expanded, transforming into a black vortex with a diameter of a hundred feet!
The vortex spun, devouring all the light, spiritual energy, and even space around it!
"Nine Netherworlds Devour the Heavens!"
The black vortex slowly pressed down, annihilating everything in its path!
The eight golden locks formed by the eight Vajra warriors trembled violently.
The sword formation of the eight sword servants was also on the verge of collapse!
Zhao Zilong flicked his spear, about to soar into the sky, but Lin Chen stopped him with a raised hand.
"Zilong, step back," Lin Chen said calmly.
"You have no say in this battle."
He looked at Li Bai and smiled, "Mr. Li, it's your turn to go on stage."
Li Bai put down his wine gourd, stood up, and stretched.
"Such a joyous occasion, and it had to turn into fighting and killing." He shook his head, his eyes blurry with drunkenness.
"Yin Jiuyou, I'll give you three breaths to get out of here. Otherwise..."
He raised his eyelids, and his previously hazy, drunken eyes suddenly erupted with a sword intent that pierced the sky!
The sword intent soared to the sky, even causing the black vortex to pause!
Yin Jiuyou's pupils constricted sharply: "A sword immortal?!"
"Three," Li Bai began counting.
"Arrogant!" Yin Jiuyou roared, and the black vortex accelerated its downward pressure!
"two."
Li Bai raised his right hand and lightly drew his index finger in the air.
A faint white line extended from his fingertip.
The thin thread looked incredibly fragile, as if it would break at the slightest breeze.
But when it touched the black vortex—
"laugh."
With a soft sound, the black vortex split open from the middle, breaking in two like paper!
The thin line continued to extend upwards, pointing straight to the Yin Jiu You!
Yin Jiuyou's expression changed drastically. He formed hand seals, and ninety-nine black shields instantly appeared in front of him, layer upon layer!
Each shield is engraved with ancient runes, exuding a cold and deathly aura!
"Nine Netherworld Protective Shield - Return to One!"
This is the Purple Robe Tower's strongest defensive secret technique. He once used this technique to withstand the siege of three late-stage Celestial Realm cultivators!
but--
"one."
Li Bai finished counting.
