Conspiracy

Countless thoughts rose in Lin Baichuan's heart. For a moment, the look he gave the sinister young man, Yin Kuisheng, grew equally fervent.

And at that moment!

Facing the gazes of everyone in the hall, the sinister young man Yin Kuisheng showed not the slightest panic. Instead, he gave a cold laugh. "Earth Spirit Milk... Heh, another pack of greedy ghosts courting death.

"If you want the treasure on me, come and take it yourselves. Why so much nonsense..."

"Yin Kuisheng, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Do you think this is the Yin Demon Sect, where someone can protect you?"

"That's right. If you refuse to hand over the Earth Spirit Milk, then leave your life behind!"

"Why waste so many words? Kill him, and the treasure goes to whoever has the ability."

People in the hall roared furiously.

Clang!

The next instant, someone made the first move. Just as Yin Kuisheng finished speaking, a figure leaped down from the second floor like an arrow. With the sword in his hand shrieking, he thrust straight at Yin Kuisheng's crown.

"Courting death!"

Yin Kuisheng snorted coldly, his face brimming with Killing Intent. He reached out, and his palm, white and jade-like in appearance, directly caught the sword thrusting toward him. Sparks erupted from his palm as though gold and iron had collided.

Yin Kuisheng clenched his hand, crushing the sword barehanded.

Then Yin Kuisheng thrust out both hands, savage killing intent surfacing on his face, and forcibly tore that figure in half. Blood splashed everywhere, and a thick stench of blood filled the entire inn hall. At that moment, everyone froze. Many felt a chill run through their bodies and instinctively backed away.

The looks they gave Yin Kuisheng were completely shrouded in terror.

Terrifying!

It was simply too terrifying.

He had actually torn a Ninth Rank Skin Refinement Realm martial artist apart with his bare hands. Yin Kuisheng was no man at all—he was a devil.

"Ha ha ha... A mere piece of trash dared covet the treasure on me? Who gave him the nerve?"

Yin Kuisheng laughed wildly, looking utterly deranged.

"Yin Kuisheng, don't get too arrogant. You may be strong, but with so many of us here, do you think you can win?"

Unable to stand Yin Kuisheng's arrogance, someone immediately shouted an angry rebuke.

"Everyone, this man is so vicious. Why should we speak of morality with him? Let's attack together and kill him first."

"That's right. Attack together. I refuse to believe he can be a match for so many of us."

"Even if he is at the peak of the Seventh Rank Organ Forging Realm, he definitely won't be able to hold on under the siege of so many of us. Just kill our way over!"

"Kill..."

Everyone was roaring. Some even attacked directly, charging toward Yin Kuisheng. Once one person moved, more immediately followed. Of the hundred-plus people in the hall, at least two-thirds charged at Yin Kuisheng.

With so many people attacking together, including quite a few at the Seventh Rank Organ Forging Realm, no matter how formidable Yin Kuisheng was, he could not withstand them all with his strength alone.

Boom... Bang...

After only a few exchanges, he could do nothing but defend passively.

"Captain..."

Lin Baichuan and the others had long since retreated to one side. Seeing Yin Kuisheng being completely suppressed and about to be subdued by the crowd, Niu Zhenye was the first to lose patience. He looked at Li Da and said, "If we don't make a move now, we won't get another chance."

"Don't rush. Wait a little longer!"

Li Da shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "This man is quite capable. He won't be defeated so easily."

"This man is indeed strong, but among his opponents are at least eight Seventh Rank Organ Forging Realm martial artists. He won't be able to stir up any waves." Qin Qing suddenly said, "If we don't act now, once he is killed, the Earth Spirit Milk will have nothing to do with us.

"These people certainly won't allow us to sit by and reap the fisherman's profit."

"Kill..."

Suddenly, before Qin Qing had even finished speaking, several other groups that had retreated to the side to watch the show like them also attacked at the same time. With a loud roar, they charged directly at Yin Kuisheng.

For a time, the only people in the hall still standing in place without moving were the six from the Demon Suppression Division.

"Captain..."

Seeing this, Niu Zhenye became frantic with anxiety and looked at Li Da once again.

"Move!"

Li Da gritted his teeth and growled, "Form the battle formation. Charge in and take Yin Kuisheng away directly."

"Yes!"

Niu Zhenye, Luo Kang, and Wu Xiaoqi were immediately overjoyed. After answering loudly in unison, they drew the war sabers at their waists and formed a battle formation with Li Da and Qin Qing. With Li Da as the spearhead, they charged straight toward the surrounded Yin Kuisheng.

As for Lin Baichuan, they directly ignored him at this moment.

Lin Baichuan had only just joined them and had never practiced battle formation methods with them, so naturally he did not know how to form one. More importantly, Li Da and the other five had never intended to include Lin Baichuan in the first place.

In other words, even if they truly obtained the Earth Spirit Milk later, they would never give Lin Baichuan a share.

Seeing this, Lin Baichuan cursed inwardly, his expression dark as water.

Gritting his teeth, he was about to raise his saber and charge over when he suddenly saw an eerie green light appear in Yin Kuisheng's eyes. His previously somewhat pale face now revealed a strange, savage grin.

"Not good!"

Almost on instinct, Lin Baichuan immediately retreated. His right foot stamped the ground, and he shot out through the inn window, smashing it apart like a soaring roc spreading its wings.

"All of you will die!"

At that moment, Yin Kuisheng suddenly roared and swallowed a thumb-sized bead radiating monstrous demonic aura in one gulp.

Roar! Roar!

The next instant, his entire body began swelling rapidly like an inflated balloon. Savage and bizarre demon markings emerged across his originally handsome yet sinister face, while black, ink-dark scales instantly spread over his arms, which had already been hard as iron.

Rolling demonic aura surged. His body expanded to the size of a zhang, transforming him into a bizarre demon with two legs, shaped like a wild ox yet covered head to toe in scales. He let out a bloodthirsty roar at everyone besieging him.

"Not good, damn it... He swallowed a Demon Core and has undergone complete Demonization."

"This isn't ordinary Demonization. That was the inner core of a demon at least Soldier-tier Fifth Rank or above. He must have refined a thread of demon power long ago and prepared everything in advance. He deliberately set this trap to lure us all here and catch us in one net."

"Stop him from continuing his Demonization, or we'll all die here."

Someone saw through Yin Kuisheng's method, and their expression immediately changed drastically. They roared as they erupted with all their strength, swinging their sabers at Yin Kuisheng.

"A pack of ants! Today, all of you will die and become the blood food in my mouth!"

Yin Kuisheng, already transformed into a demon, roared. His eyes were crimson, gleaming with bloodthirsty savagery. Facing the saber slashing toward him, he swung his hammer-like hand and smashed it viciously against the blade.

Bang... Crack...

In a single exchange, that person's war saber shattered with a sound.

Amid the scattering fragments, each piece was more terrifying than an arrow. In an instant, they pierced through the bodies of more than a dozen people.

"Ah..."

Miserable screams immediately rang through the night sky. Their bodies were pierced through, and the immense impact sent them flying more than ten zhang away, trailing streaks of crimson blood arrows.

"Ha ha ha..."

Yin Kuisheng threw back his head and laughed wildly. His savage face became ever more terrifying as he swung his hammer-like hands and charged toward the crowd.
