He was no longer the gentle and considerate young nobleman who teased Ye Ting.

He is a god of death.

Ye Ting had guessed that Jin Yi might be killed, but witnessing the noble young master commit murder was a completely different feeling.

There's some excitement, some anticipation.

For a fool like Jin Yi to be killed by a noble young master, it's... a fitting end!

She also saw Zhang Xiangliang kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Chu Bunu and Xiao Hongli, so humble and desperate.

She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.

If we kill the Embroidered Uniform Guard, will we also kill Zhang Xiangliang?

But she was really in a dilemma, since the young master was both handsome and wealthy.

While she was struggling with her dilemma, Aunt Zhang suddenly turned her head and glanced at her. The resentment in her eyes was so real that she suddenly shrank into a ball in fear.

The mother-in-law saw all of this, and so did Jiutian. Will they take revenge on me?

Clutching the hem of her clothes, she tried to minimize her presence.

If Zhang Xiangliang dies, will that young master take her away? Zhang Xiangliang said she's beautiful, so that young master must like her too, right?

Her mind was in turmoil, and Chu Bu Nu and Xiao Hong Li were already itching to make their move.

"No matter how much Father Emperor protects you, I tell you, this Great Xia belongs to me, and can only belong to me!"

Xiao Hongli smiled sinisterly, "Who said I can't kill you? Today I'm going to send you to see your mother."

Ye Ting suddenly felt excited. Those people looked very powerful; killing a fool was as easy as crushing an ant, done silently.

She could get a thousand taels of silver, and might even be taken away by a noble young man to become his wife. She would be rich and powerful, so Zhang Xiangliang... should cut off all ties with her from now on!

However, as soon as Xiao Hongli finished speaking, the listless Jin Yi suddenly became incredibly sharp, his gaze fixed on Xiao Hongli like a cheetah locking onto its prey.

He slowly straightened up, gripped the Tang sword with both hands, and unleashed his aura, his killing intent spreading rapidly like a storm.

Xiao Hongli stumbled back several steps, shouting in panic, "You...you...your leg isn't broken?"

"It broke! But it's healed again!"

"You, you're not stupid?"

"Heh~"

Upon hearing this startled cry, Xiao Hongli shouted, "Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"

The guards immediately raised their swords in front of him, pointing them at Yin Jin'an, and formed a fan shape to protect Xiao Hongli.

Xiao Hongli was panicked. What was going on? He's not stupid! He's not lame!

How did he manage to keep it from so many people?

Yin Jin'an sneered, holding a Tang sword, and approached Xiao Hongli step by step. The Tang sword was pointed at his throat.

Chu Bu Nu was greatly alarmed and surrounded Yin Jin An with his men, gripping his sword tightly, waiting for an opportunity to strike and kill him.

Yin Jin'an looked at the group of people and burst into laughter.

Those who had originally intended to torture and kill him were now terrified and fell silent.

"Fellow villagers of Longmen Town, I, Xiao Jin'an, am the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, and the only legitimate son of the late Empress Wei Mu. They—"

He pointed the tip of his Tang sword at Xiao Hongli and said, "The demoness Chu Hanhua killed my mother and poisoned me. I was lucky enough to be cured by a divine doctor. I wanted to live a peaceful life in Longmen Town, but they still tried to kill me."

Xiao Hongli argued loudly, "You're talking nonsense! Everyone must have heard your howling! You're a monster, a monster that eats people!"

"Under the clear sky and with justice prevailing, how dare you, a demon, slander me, the eldest son of the Emperor?" Yin Jin'an smiled wickedly, then suddenly shouted to the sky, "Between me and Xiao Hongli, who is the one who wreaks havoc on the world? Who deserves to die? Heaven, please give me a clear answer!"

Chu Bu Nu looked at him with amusement and asked, "Heavens? Why don't you ask me? It's me holding this sword, ready to kill you!"

If even God can solve these problems, what's the point of having humans?

"Kill him!" Chu Bu shouted angrily.

Why waste time arguing? Kill! That'll end it all.

Just as he uttered the word "kill," suddenly dark clouds rolled in from the gray sky, and lightning, like silver snakes, tore through the clouds, mercilessly striking the earth.

Immediately following was a huge clap of thunder.

The lightning struck Xiao Hongli, and his men quickly tried to protect him and dodge, but there was no way to escape.

The sky was filled with swirling clouds, and lightning bolts chased after Xiao Hongli, one after another, just like the legendary demon race undergoing a tribulation of lightning.

The first bolt of lightning struck Xiao Hongli, causing him to tremble all over and howl miserably. His once-good-looking body was now torn apart and bleeding.

Another bolt of lightning struck, and the yin-yang face was reduced to nothing but darkness.

Another bolt of lightning struck, and his arms turned into roasted chicken wings.

Chu Bu Nu and his guards also perished. Because they had surrounded and annihilated Yin Jin An, they were neatly hacked down, and all seven or eight guards around him were knocked unconscious or killed.

Ye Ting was terrified and suddenly screamed, "No..."

Aunt Zhang was worried about Zhang Xiangliang, and despite her fear, she stumbled toward him.

Jiutian also ran towards Yin Jin'an.

Ye Ting watched them leave, but she didn't dare go over; she was afraid of being struck by lightning.

However, things didn't go as planned. The lightning seemed to have eyes, and it veered off course and went towards her.

Without bias, he killed Ye Ting.

Ye Ting's head and face were on fire, her hair was ablaze, and her skin and flesh emitted a strange, sizzling aroma. Her cheekbone was broken, and her face resembled that of a demon.

Ah~

She screamed in agony. She didn't want to die. She was only safe with Jiutian and Aunt Zhang.

Injured, she stumbled and staggered after Jiutian.

Yin Jin'an has always had a bad temper. Who has ever wronged him? Even if Xiao Hongli and his gang were all chopped into roast chickens, he wouldn't let them go.
