At Huangpu Liufeng's words, Lin Qi's face instantly turned pitch-black.
A heavy hand suddenly clamped down on Lin Qi's shoulder. A burly man who had only just crossed the threshold into demigodhood seized his shoulder and let out a sinister, "Heh heh," laugh. "My Eastern Harmony King, you'd best not move recklessly! Otherwise, you'll die!"
The two old eunuchs approached Elysian Heaven with smiling faces and reached for her arms. "Miss, our marquis has taken a fancy to you. That is your good fortune! Hurry and go serve our marquis. In the future, your riches and glory—"
Two soft explosions rang out, and the two old eunuchs abruptly burst into a mist of blood that filled the air. A trace of crimson flame flickered in Elysian Heaven's hand. A wild, fierce aura ravaged the wooden cabin as gusts of force howled outward in every direction, only to halt abruptly just before striking the walls, then roll back inward.
Several dozen Saint-level burly men were blown rolling across the floor by the gusts. Huangpu Liufeng stared blankly at Elysian Heaven, then suddenly howled himself hoarse, "You brazen wretch! You, you, you killed—killed—killed the people Her Majesty the Empress bestowed upon this marquis! You, you, you dare rebel?"
Amid Huangpu Liufeng's hoarse wails, Lin Qi reached back and seized the burly man behind him by the neck. With a slight exertion of two fingers, a crack sounded. The man's body convulsed, his neck bones already crushed to powder by Lin Qi's grip.
A dignified demigod was already a legendary figure in the mortal world, a terrifying existence worshipped by ordinary people as a god. Yet in Lin Qi's hands, a demigod was like a chick awaiting slaughter, utterly incapable of resistance.
After casually strangling a demigod, Lin Qi smiled at Huangpu Liufeng.
