When Wang Lixue discovered that the bronze ancient sword in her hand had been crushed by Lin Jinglong with a single palm strike, it was as if he had crushed a sword made of clay.

A look of utter horror crossed her face.

Because this is not a sword made of clay, but a sword from Tianyu City, where she lives, passed down through generations for at least a thousand years, with each city lord nurturing it with their own true energy.

It is an indestructible sword that can cut through iron like mud!

Not to mention, as the number one swordswoman in the Northern Region, her own sword qi is also extremely sharp, covering the blade of the sword. It would be impossible for her to destroy the sword with her bare hands.

Even the supreme martial artist with true qi protecting his body.

After being struck by a sword, there is only one possibility: being cut in two.

But Lin Jinglong crushed the sword with his bare hands!

How could there be such a person in the world?

Wang Lixue felt like her worldview had collapsed.

She looked at Lin Jinglong with disbelief.

Upon seeing his demonized hand again, she couldn't help but wonder if the message Zhang Shentong sent was true.

Is this Lin Jinglong a demon incarnate?

If Lin Jinglong is killed, the spread of demonic energy in the Northern Region can be stopped.

Although she didn't completely trust Zhang Shentong at first, thinking that the chances of success were less than 10%, they still had to give it a try.

Now, after she fought Lin Jinglong.

She had already conceived an idea.

Perhaps what Zhang Shentong said is true!

This Lin Jinglong is not a real person, but a demon!

"A demon has descended to earth! You must be a demon! Only a demon could possess such terrifying power!"

Wang Lixue held the broken sword and muttered to herself.

Lin Jinglong frowned as he looked at her. This woman seemed to have become somewhat obsessed after he broke her sword.

Without saying a word, he slapped it.

It hit Wang Lixue squarely in the chest.

Her figure flew out horizontally.

It crashed through the wall in front of it and rolled to the ground.

Hearing the commotion, Tantai Yu and the others rushed over and were surprised to see what was happening.

"These people actually came to our door!"

She had previously heard that the Twelve Cities Alliance had kidnapped Bai Yiyi and others, and that they might be coming to kill Lin Jinglong, but she was still somewhat skeptical about the possibility.

But now, there is no doubt at all.

She just felt that the people in these twelve cities were not very bright.

Is Lin Jinglong someone they can afford to kill?

Just then, one of the city lords who had been suppressed by Lin Jinglong suddenly struggled to get up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He stared at Lin Jinglong's retreating figure and let out a venomous growl.

"As expected, a demon has descended to earth. Zhang Shentong's words were true. I will definitely kill you!"

After he finished speaking, he roared and charged toward Lin Jinglong's back.

With a furrowed brow, Lin Jinglong realized that today's matter was unlikely to end well!

"boom!"

He turned around and threw a punch.

The true energy pierced through the man's chest, shattering his eight extraordinary meridians inch by inch. Although he still retained a breath of supreme true energy, making his body relatively intact, he even retained his last breath.

But this person was already on the verge of death.

The others stared at Lin Jinglong with terrified eyes.

That's just too amazing!

Even a supreme expert couldn't withstand a single blow from Lin Jinglong!

But they also remembered their mission. As the guardians of the twelve cities, they passed down their duties from generation to generation. Even when Sirius City was at its strongest, they protected their territory.

These people struggled to their feet, intending to fight against Lin Jinglong.

Just as Lin Jinglong was about to kill them all, Wang Lixue suddenly struggled out from behind the wall. She said in a disheveled state, "Lin Jinglong, don't do anything rash! Your men are still in our hands!"

Their original plan was to capture Bai Yiyi and the others, and then launch a surprise attack on Lin Jinglong to prevent him from getting protection from his subordinates and thus escape from their clutches.

Only then did they realize that capturing Bai Yiyi and the others would have another effect: using them as hostages.

After hearing what Wang Lixue said, Lin Jinglong...

He turned to look at the woman, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"Do you think I care about their lives? After all, in your words, I'm just a demon."

Since they are demons, they shouldn't care about human lives.

Wang Lixue's expression stiffened for a moment.

She opened her mouth, knowing that threatening Lin Jinglong with the lives of Bai Yiyi and the others was a contradictory act, but in such a desperate moment...

What else can they do?

All twelve people were seriously injured, and the city lord of Wanshan City was already a cripple on the verge of death.

Under the premise of being unable to resist.

Wang Lixue could only continue the stalemate with Lin Jinglong.

At that moment, Lin Jinglong suddenly grinned.

"But don't worry, I am not a so-called demon, so I will still take care of the lives of my men. I will exchange you twelve city lords for my men."

"You're really not a demon?"

Wang Lixue glanced at Lin Jinglong's demonized, pitch-black hand.

He's been corrupted by demons! You can vaguely see that Lin Jinglong is emanating a strong demonic aura. His figure is also like the legendary demonic Yin body. How could this person not be a celestial demon?

But Lin Jinglong was too lazy to waste words with him.

He ordered Tantai Yu and others to capture these declining city lords and take them to the camp where they were holding members of the Heavenly Dao Supreme Alliance, intending to conduct a hostage exchange.

As for how to deal with these people.

Lin Jinglong doesn't yet have a set strategy.

Because the twelve cities are not just about the twelve city lords in front of us, nor are they just about the tens of thousands of warriors they lead; they also involve tens of millions of ordinary people.

These people are all innocent people living in the Northern Region.

Lin Jinglong planned to enter the Demon Cave to seal off the surging demonic energy, also for the sake of ordinary people, since this was a matter between martial artists and cultivators.

Logically, it should be irrelevant to ordinary people.

Just as Lin Jinglong was about to set off, Huangfu Kong and the other members of the Ten Heavenly Clans finally arrived from their territories in Tianlang City. Upon seeing the scene before them, they all showed expressions of surprise.

Huangfu Kong was surprised that these people were still alive.

Meanwhile, the Spirit Master and the others stared at Lin Jinglong in shock.

"These are the city lords of the twelve cities. He defeated them all by himself. His strength seems to have increased again."

In the past three days, the Spirit Master had mastered the Blood Fiend Origin and fused it with his Extreme Fiend Origin. After making initial progress, he wanted to start to feel complacent.

However, after seeing Lin Jinglong's incredible combat power, he realized that he was still underestimating Lin Jinglong.

"In this great transformation, one step behind means falling behind at every step. It's really difficult to catch up with Lin Jinglong's pace."

Master Xuanling sighed inwardly, then looked at the other members of the ten Heavenly Dao clans present with pity. Even those who stood on the same side as Lin Jinglong felt immense pressure.
