I've Long Wanted to Kill Every One of You

Upon hearing this, the entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence.

Lin Longyue's expression changed slightly, and her gaze suddenly turned to Yunhe Commandery Princess.

The two drowsy "companions" looked at each other in bewilderment.

The smile on Yunhe Commandery Princess's face finally faded a little.

She frowned suddenly, a cold glint flashing in her phoenix eyes.

Chu Linzi remained seated, still holding the wine cup in her hand.

Jiang Runian and Liu Yuqing suddenly changed their expressions!

Jiang Runian suddenly stood up, his folding fan unfurling with a "whoosh," the ink plum blossom on the fan swaying Subtle Insight in the candlelight.

He shouted, "Who are you to spout such nonsense!"

Chen Lingxi ignored him.

He reached out, picked up the celadon wine bottle on the table, uncorked it, and poured himself a glass of wine.

The wine fell into the glass, making a very soft and crisp sound.

He then picked up his wine glass and slowly took a sip, his movements unhurried, as if he were drinking alone in his own study.

"Yang Zhuri also committed this demonic act." He put down his wine cup, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "I chopped off their heads."

He paused, his eyes turning icy and sharp. "Today I saw you holding a banquet again, and a murderous intent suddenly arose in my heart."

Killing intent?

Liu Yuqing's expression suddenly turned icy.

She stood up, and her aura exploded forth!

A golden light, imbued with the Blood Qi, burst forth from the depths of her bones, making her skin and flesh almost transparent. From afar, she appeared like a jade statue cast in pure gold, standing in the candlelight, dazzling and unbearable to behold.

The sheer golden light and the profound Qi and Blood of his being clearly those of someone who Golden Body Great Accomplishment!

"You haven't suppressed this murderous intent, yet you've come to see us." Her voice was as cold as ice. "Do you perhaps wish to die?"

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Runian beside her snorted coldly, and his body also shone with golden light.

The sound of a golden bell emanated from his body. Amidst the sound of the bronze bell, a faint golden wheel rose from behind him and slowly rotated. It was the Purple-Tempered Golden Wheel that could only be condensed after the Golden Body Great Accomplishment!

Purple light swirled, and golden bells rang in unison; his aura instantly soared to its peak.

Jiang Runian's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared directly at Chen Lingxi!

Chu Linzi remained silent.

She put down her wine cup, raised her head, and stared directly into Chen Lingxi's eyes, her striking gaze sharp and piercing.

Yunhe Commandery Princess finally stopped smiling.

She shook her head slightly, and golden light emanated from her body.

The golden light emanated from the depths of her bones, even more profound than that of Liu Yuqing and Jiang Runian, and faintly showed signs of condensing Golden Astral Force!

The Golden Astral Force signifies the Golden Body Perfection, just one step away from entering the legendary Jade-Qi Realm.

At the same time, the woman playing the piano not far away also stood up.

The woman looked quite young, around thirty years old, and was very beautiful.

She put down her guqin and slowly walked out from behind the guqin stand, her body radiating golden light with every step.

The golden light was so solid that it was even more substantial than that of Yunhe Commandery Princess, clearly indicating that he was also a person with Golden Body Perfection.

Yunhe Commandery Princess raised her head and looked at Chen Lingxi. There was no trace of a smile in her phoenix eyes, only a bottomless coldness.

"You were able to kill Yang Zhuri and slaughter the entire Yang Zhuri villa; you can be considered a first-rate fighter."

"But this isn't Clear River Estate."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the people in the courtyard.

"There are now three Golden Body Perfection here, and two that Golden Body Great Accomplishment." She shook her head slightly, her tone calm. "Your Excellency, why don't you leave? I will pretend that today's events never happened."

As she spoke, Chu Linzi put down her wine cup. As the cup hit the table, golden light suddenly emanated from deep within her bones.

The golden light was deep and vast, and it had already formed Golden Astral Force, signifying the Golden Body Perfection!

Five Golden Body, three at perfection and two at completion—even in the entire Capital Prefecture, this is a force to be reckoned with.

Seeing this, Lin Longyue and the other young people were all extremely surprised!

Lin Longyue, in particular, felt as if thunder had exploded in her mind.

She had known Yunhe Commandery Princess for over a year, but had never seen her display even the slightest sign of knowing martial arts.

She had always thought of Yunhe Commandery Princess as a pampered noblewoman from the imperial family, who was powerless and needed to rely on guards for protection at all times.

But at this moment, such terrifying golden light suddenly erupted from this princess's body, and her aura was so profound that she had clearly Golden Body Perfection!

And then there's Chu Linzi.

She and Chu Linzi have been fighting for so many years, clashing countless times both openly and secretly.

She had always thought that Chu Linzi was merely at the Silver Bone Major Accomplishment, at most at the Perfection level.

But at this moment...

Golden Body Perfection, Golden Body Great Accomplishment, in one's early twenties?

Lin Longyue dared not think too much about it, only feeling that this world was too absurd. She had cultivated for many years and only barely reached the Silver Bone Major Accomplishment with the help of the Wind-Riding Elixir. She had already considered herself to have extraordinary Root Bone.

But compared to these people, her achievements are like a firefly compared to the bright moon, utterly insignificant.

Despite facing so many Qi and Blood cultivators, Chen Lingxi remained unfazed.

He picked up his wine glass, took another sip, then put it down and glanced at Lin Longyue.

Do you know what they are doing?

"They devour your Treasure Body, just as demons devour human flesh, each benefiting from the act."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Yunhe Commandery Princess, Chu Linzi, Jiang Runian, Liu Yuqing, a chilling smile playing on his lips.

"That is why they have achieved such a level of cultivation."

Having cultivated like this for so long, one is unwilling to take even the slightest risk." His gaze returned to Lin Longyue's face, his eyes devoid of emotion: "I came here today, and instead of killing me, they actually want to let me go."

Lin Longyue was struck dumb, standing there stunned.

She turned her head sharply to look at Yunhe Commandery Princess, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Yunhe Commandery Princess's expression changed instantly.

She blurted out, "Stay...!"

But before she could finish speaking, Chen Lingxi suddenly interrupted.

He parted his lips slightly and uttered two words.

"Shut up!"

The Dragon Roar Technique activated instantly!

The words "but" struck Yunhe Commandery Princess like a thunderclap, as if a true dragon had been awakened and let out a roar!

The whistling sound pierced her eardrums and poured straight into her brain, causing her Qi and Blood and qi to tremble violently. The words she was about to say were stuck in her throat, and she could not utter another single word!

At that moment, Chen Lingxi's dragon roar silenced everyone.

The five Golden Body figures in the courtyard simultaneously paused in their breathing, and the two dazed young figures were so shaken by the soft shout that one of them slid off his chair and fell to the ground.

Chen Lingxi even slowly drank a glass of wine and placed it on the table.

murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, like a volcano that had been suppressed for countless years finally erupting at this moment.

"I've wanted to kill you all for a long time."

He said softly.

Then, he suddenly snapped his fingers...

The movement was extremely light and casual, as if brushing away a small fallen petal from a garment.

But in the instant he flicked his finger, wisps of mist appeared out of thin air in the garden.

The fog arrived without warning, so thick it was almost tangible. The bluish-gray wisps of fog surged, swirled, and spread wildly in the air, instantly filling the entire garden!

A tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the fog.

The figure emerged from the mist with unhurried steps, as if stepping into this place from another world.

He was dressed in a moon-white long robe, and his face was extremely handsome, so handsome that he didn't seem like a living person, but rather like a jade statue enshrined in the Glazed Pavilion.

However, his face was unusually pale, his eyes were empty and lifeless, and a faint light flickered deep in his pupils.

The moment this person appeared, everyone in the courtyard felt an indescribable sense of oppression wash over them.

The oppressive feeling did not come from Qi and Blood, but from a more mysterious and lofty power, like an invisible mountain descending from the sky, pressing down on everyone's heads, making it almost impossible to breathe.

Everyone was surprised and puzzled, wondering where this person had come from.

Jiang Runian's expression darkened first, but as a Golden Body Great Accomplishment, protected by the Purple-Tempered Golden Wheel, how could he be intimidated by a person in the mist?

He roared, and the Golden-Soup Blood Qi in his body erupted. With a stomp of his foot, the bluestone floor tiles cracked inch by inch.

He formed his right palm, the edge of which glowed with a concentrated purple-gold light, and unleashed the [Call-to-Heaven Palm] technique!

Where the palm wind passed, the air was compressed and left streaks of white, and his whole body was like a golden afterglow, rushing towards Chen Lingxi!

Lin Longyue's expression changed.

The power of that palm strike was so great that even she, standing several feet away, could feel the scorching wind from it. If it had landed squarely, even the Golden-Body Astral Shield of Golden Body figure would have been shattered.

But Chen Lingxi remained unmoved, even continuing to drink.

Yunhe Commandery Princess, Chu Linzi, Liu Yuqing, and the female musician were also busy.

They were all seasoned veterans who understood the importance of striking first.

The person in the mist was clearly no ordinary individual. If this person were to join forces with the Ghost-Faced General, their chances of survival today would be slim.

Yunhe Commandery Princess moved swiftly, her Golden Astral Force solidifying into a pale golden streak that shot straight towards the figure in the mist.

Chu Linzi drew her sword, its blade flashing like a silver moon, and slashed in the same direction.

Liu Yuqing simultaneously extended their hands, flicking their fingers in rapid succession, unleashing several golden rays of light like a torrential rain.

The female musician then made a virtual pluck in the Void with both hands, as if plucking an invisible string.

In an instant, the courtyard was filled with golden light and surging Qi and Blood.

The simultaneous attack of the five Golden Body figures was so powerful that even an ordinary military formation would be shattered in an instant.

But the figure in the mist moved.

His movements were extremely simple.

He simply raised his right hand and made a light, almost imperceptible press in the Void.

With this press, the world changed color.

The mist within a radius of several dozen feet suddenly surged, as if it were being violently stirred by an invisible hand.

The surging mist instantly condensed into countless icy arrows, each three feet long, with a ball of extremely cold icy flame at its tip.

The ice arrows hung densely in mid-air, like an inverted ice crystal forest, their chilling light casting a deathly white glow over the entire garden.

Then--

Fire a volley of ice arrows!

The speed was unbelievably fast.

Before Jiang Runian's Call-to-Heaven Palm could even reach Chen Lingxi, an ice arrow pierced through his Purple-Tempered Golden Wheel.

The seemingly indestructible golden wheel shattered silently before this ice arrow, like paper.

The ice arrow continued its advance, piercing his chest and exiting through his back, leaving a cloud of blood mist, pinning him to the artificial hill behind him.

Liu Yuqing's ten golden rays were intercepted and shattered by three ice arrows in mid-air, and another ice arrow shot from the side, piercing her neck.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't utter another word!

The female musician plucked strings in the Void with her ten fingers, and bursts of Qi and Blood burst forth, spreading in all directions and causing the incoming ice arrows to pause slightly.

But the figure in the mist simply raised its left hand again, making a loose grasp. The air around the female musician suddenly froze, as if an invisible hand had grabbed her and squeezed her tightly!

Click.

Bones shattered!

He collapsed to the ground!

Lin Longyue remained seated in the same spot, her entire being resembling a stone statue.

Her face was completely drained of color.

She watched as Yunhe Commandery Princess's arms were severed by an ice blade, and she fell into a pool of blood.

Chu Linzi's longsword shattered into pieces, the blades clanging as they fell to the ground!

Of the five Golden Body, three died and two were seriously injured in the blink of an eye.

The figure in the mist didn't even move its feet.

He simply raised his hand, made two light presses and one clench, and then, as if crushing ants, he scattered all the powerful figures in the courtyard.

Chen Lingxi down her wine glass and stood up.

He walked up to Chu Linzi and looked down at the young lady of the manor.

She fell to the ground, her Golden-Body Astral Shield completely shattered, and her Purple-Tempered Golden Wheel dimmed.

Her right arm was severed at the shoulder by an ice blade, and blood gushed out, staining her dark black outfit a deep red.

Her lips trembled, and her once fierce and imposing eyes were now filled with nothing but fear.

Chen Lingxi didn't say anything, but simply raised her right foot and stomped down.

A dull, muffled thud.

Blood gushed out.

Silence fell.

Lin Longyue abruptly closed her eyes.

Chen Lingxi ignored the corpses and used her spiritual energy to grab Yunhe Commandery Princess and lift her up from the ground.

Yunhe Commandery Princess's arms were both severed, and blood flowed profusely.

She forced her eyes open, staring at the grotesque, blue-faced demon, and managed to utter a few broken words.

"I... I am a trusted confidant of the Crown Prince Immortal..." Her voice was hoarse, "And I am the daughter of the Eastern King, my father is Mystic Entry Realm expert... You... you cannot kill me..."

Chen Lingxi felt somewhat annoyed.

He carried Yunhe Commandery Princess through the moon gate, across the covered walkway, and arrived at the pool of blood in the backyard.

The corpses lying haphazardly by the pool were still there, the wounds on their wrists no longer bleeding, leaving only dark red bloodstains congealed on the stone slab.

The pool water still shimmered with a deep turquoise, and the white mist on its surface continued to swirl slowly, as if nothing had ever happened.

Chen Lingxi threw Yunhe Commandery Princess onto the edge of the pond.

She fell onto the bluestone slab, the blood from her severed arm leaving two long trails on the ground.

"You... you can't..." Her voice grew weaker and weaker, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Chen Lingxi stared at her, then suddenly lowered her head, reached out, and slowly removed the ghost mask from her face.

Beneath the demonic mask was a young face.

This face is somewhat handsome, yet possesses a calm and reserved demeanor, with a composure beyond his years between his brows.

But for Yunhe Commandery Princess, it was the most terrifying thing in the world!

"You..."

Yunhe Commandery Princess's face turned deathly pale.

Yunhe Commandery Princess had seen this face many times!

He was called a "lackey" many times!

In the East Hall of the West Courtyard, she casually ordered Sun Ninghu to break one of his legs.

In the main hall of the Beast-Fighting Palace, she once sat languidly in a chair, watching him being herded into the arena as if he were a fighting beast.

In the back garden of the Baosu Marquis Residence, she had often accepted those flower arrangements and praised, "This servant's skills are quite good."

But now this lackey... has become a demon god who can kill them by simply sending out one person at random!

"Yunhe Commandery Princess," Chen Lingxi finally spoke.

Yunhe Commandery Princess's pupils suddenly contracted.

She stared at that familiar face, and her body began to tremble violently. The trembling was not from pain, but from a deep, bone-deep fear.

"Spare me..."

"You will die today." Chen Lingxi lowered her head, her gaze calm. "Even if the Crown Prince himself came, he could not save you."

He raised his hand.

A wisp of bluish-green light emanated from his fingertips, flickering uncertainly in the sunlight, tearing the surrounding air into countless fine white streaks.

Azure Edge Method.
