In mid-air, the void swayed.
The sky rippled like water, creating waves that eventually tore through the void.
Then, a figure emerged and stood in mid-air.
The person who arrived was Lin Xuan.
An overwhelming pressure swept across the area, so powerful that the very space seemed to be crushed into a thin sheet of paper. Xu Changshan and the others paled, feeling as if they were being suppressed by an entire world, their breathing becoming labored.
Each person looked at Lin Xuan in mid-air with different expressions and gazes, but all were filled with shock and disbelief.
"Lin Xuan... It's him! It really is him! How is that possible? How could his strength be so great?"
"No, he's gotten even stronger than before. This monstrous talent is a monster."
"What terrifying pressure! With my peak Earth Immortal strength, I have no power to resist at all. This is at least the strength of a Celestial Immortal, and even a late-stage Celestial Immortal, or even a peak Celestial Immortal."
...
Many people were roaring and raging in their hearts, feeling that even breathing had become difficult and heavy.
Lin Xuan remained calm. He stood in the air, looking down at everyone below, and said coldly, "You all keep saying you want to suppress me and punish me. Now I am right in front of you. Anyone who is not convinced, please step forward."
Let me see just how capable you really are…
The cold, indifferent voice clearly entered everyone's minds at that moment, causing many people to change color and their anger to surge.
In their eyes, Lin Xuan was clearly mocking them, because they were the ones who had just been clamoring to suppress Lin Xuan, but now they were being crushed by Lin Xuan's pressure like dead dogs, unable to move at all.
"Lin Xuan, don't be too arrogant. You are very strong, but you are not invincible. In our Great Xia alone, there are people who can suppress you."
A deity gritted his teeth and growled, "By giving us this show of force today, you are making an enemy of the entire War God Palace. You should think this through. The War God Palace represents the entire Great Xia Dynasty. You don't really think you can challenge the entire War God Palace on your own, do you?"
"Heh, you bunch of trash can't represent the Great Xia."
Lin Xuan snorted coldly, raised his hand, and instantly unleashed unparalleled sword energy. The hundred-foot-long sword energy streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning, and then, to everyone's astonishment, it engulfed the god who had just roared and howled.
"ah……"
The next instant, a shrill scream tore through the sky.
The dazzling sword energy tore through the sky, instantly slicing and shredding the physical body of the god. Before he could be resurrected, an astonishing sword intent erupted, directly extinguishing the gaze that this person had entrusted to the divine spark.
This is the intent of the Ten Directions Sword, containing the essence of the Ten Directions Dao. How could a mere lower-level deity comparable to an Earth Immortal possibly withstand it?
In a single encounter, he died and his spirit vanished.
"hiss……"
The world was utterly silent.
Countless people couldn't help but gasp, feeling a chill run through their bodies, and even trembling all over. Looking at Lin Xuan in mid-air, their eyes were filled with shock and disbelief, but also with a hint of fear and apprehension.
That's incredible! He killed a peak lower-level god with a single strike. Such a feat is truly astonishing.
This is a god of death!
Many people felt apprehensive and fearful of Lin Xuan, and dared not utter a word.
Lin Xuan scoffed dismissively, and with a wave of his hand, an astonishing suction force erupted, drawing the divine spark towards him and storing it in his spatial ring. Then, looking at everyone, he said coldly, "I've come here today not to reminisce, but to demand my person."
Hand over everyone on this list, or else... I won't hesitate to slaughter everyone in sight..."
As he spoke, Lin Xuan waved his hand, and a piece of jade flew out, emitting a dazzling light in mid-air, transforming into a screen of light.
On the light screen, lines of text appeared.
These are individual names; in total, there are thirty-one people.
When everyone saw the names of these thirty-one people, their expressions changed instantly, and they were all filled with astonishment.
The thirty-one individuals were either in high positions or had previously held high positions, possessing powerful backgrounds. Upon closer examination, each of them had connections to the War God Palace, and a large portion of them were actually members of the War God Palace.
Especially the one at the very top, whose background was incredibly powerful. Almost subconsciously, many people looked towards the old man in hemp robes.
This person has a close relationship with the old man in hemp clothing.
"Lin Xuan... your Shanhe Army has killed far too many people within the Great Xia territory these past few days. The number of people who have died at your hands has probably exceeded one million!"
The old man in hemp robes looked at Lin Xuan with a gloomy expression and said, "It's already like this, haven't you killed enough yet?"
"Hehe, Elder Yuan, do you think those people shouldn't have been killed?" Lin Xuan looked at the old man in hemp robes and chuckled coldly: "Colluding with evil spirits, using the families of soldiers to threaten my Shanhe Army, attempting to split my Shanhe Army—I think Elder Yuan should know very well what kind of crime that is!"
“Yes, these people deserve to die, but their relatives are innocent…” the old man in hemp clothing said in a deep voice.
"If they are innocent, then the soldiers of my Shanhe Army who died are not innocent either. Countless families of Shanhe Army soldiers were brutally slaughtered by them. Is that what they deserved?" Lin Xuan shouted angrily, his voice as loud as a bell, shaking the void.
An invisible pressure and astonishing killing intent suddenly erupted, sweeping across this area.
Boom... Rumble...
With its astonishing power sweeping across, the void itself was torn apart.
The desolate ruins were instantly engulfed in a sandstorm.
High above, thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens.
Lin Xuan was furious, and in his rage, he caused utter chaos.
Everyone felt their souls trembling, looking at Lin Xuan with immense fear, many of them even shaking with dread.
The old man in hemp clothing also looked extremely grim, but he was speechless. Lin Xuan was right; other people's lives mattered, but didn't the lives of the Shanhe Army matter too? However, if the Shanhe Army continued like this, it certainly wouldn't work, and who knew how many more people would die at his hands.
Moreover, if the thirty-one people on the list Lin Xuan gave us were really handed over, the entire Great Xia Dynasty might very well fall apart.
"Lin Xuan, I know that the Shanhe Army has suffered a lot over the years. We can make up for it and compensate them, but I hope this matter ends here," the old man in hemp clothing said in a deep voice.
"So, you're saying you don't intend to hand them over?"
Lin Xuan smiled upon seeing this, but the murderous intent in his eyes intensified. He suddenly waved his hand and roared angrily, "All soldiers of the Shanhe Army, listen to my command! Since some people are unwilling to give us justice, then we will seek justice ourselves!"
"The blood of a villain never dries, and his sword never returns to its sheath..."
