Kill instantly with one hit.
Lin Chong remained silent, a burst of blood mist erupted from beneath his feet, and as he leaped into the air, he pulverized the three-inch-thick bluestone slab and instantly soared onto the roof.
Before Vendika, who was sniping from the rooftop, could even turn around, the Dragon King of Jidu's Reverse Scale Serpent Spear shrieked as it tore through the air. The moment the spear tip pierced through Vendika's full left breast, all twelve of her ribs exploded in a radial pattern!
Fragments of shattered lungs and heart, mixed with bloody foam, gushed from between the spiral patterns of the spear shaft. Vendica's alluring upper body arched backward due to inertia. As the spear tip pierced through the sandalwood beam, her right hand, painted with crimson nail polish, still gripped the bowstring tightly. However, her sexy left breast, wrapped in black stockings, had been ripped open with a bloody hole the size of a washbasin, and half of her intestines hung from the eaves of the roof, hissing and smoking like scarlet prayer flags fluttering in the morning breeze.
Despite the successful initial strike, Vendika was still alive and tried to pull out the Scale Shadow Serpent Spear piercing his chest, but it was too late. Lin Chong charged in like lightning and unleashed three punches in an instant!
One punch to the temple, one punch to the philtrum, one punch to the neck—the sound of bones shattering, the sight of blood splattering, the full spectrum of emotions—sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and sour, all burst forth in red, yellow, black, and white. By the time Lin Chong pulled out the Scale Shadow Serpent Spear, Wendika had already been beaten to death with three punches.
"Don't go, Lin Chong!!!"
Seeing Lin Chong leap onto the roof beam, Gao Qiu thought she was going to run away and hurriedly shouted, but Lin Chong's cold and beautiful face only showed a cold smile.
Run? A mere hundred men, you think you can make me, Lin Chong, escape? You really think a mere hundred men can take me down?!
At this moment, Lin Chong was filled with demonic energy and burning with murderous intent. After drawing his Scale Shadow Serpent Spear, he showed no intention of running away. Instead, he charged at the crowd again!
"boom!!!"
The instant Lin Chong's toes left the roof tiles, the entire eaves of the White Tiger Hall shattered with a resounding crash. The phantoms of Slaanesh and the Dragon King of the Ji River entwined around the spear, turning his descent into a dark pink meteor. Before the assassin Qiu Sali, at the forefront responsible for countering the demons with psychic energy, could react, the muffled thud of the spear piercing his skull, mixed with the ringing sound of his skull cracking, echoed throughout the White Tiger Hall!
Before Qiu Sali's azure pupils could dilate, her entire head exploded vertically like a watermelon! Before the red and white liquid could even land, the Netherworld Slaughtering Fire carried by the spear melted the broken bones into thousands of blazing red steel beads, which radiated into her snow-white body wrapped in black lace, turning this headless, beautiful corpse into a scarlet color.
Fast, too fast!
Although the six types of assassins from the Six Doors are proficient in various different skills, they have one thing in common: they are extremely agile and their speed is impeccable, reaching 20 agility. There are many assassins with this kind of human limit.
However, these top-tier assassins were no match for Lin Chong, whose agility was as high as 32. Lin Chong killed three assassins from the Six Doors in just three moves!
"Kill her! Kill her now!!!"
Gao Qiu was terrified and immediately ordered a hundred imperial guards to form a battle formation and charge, determined to capture Lin Chong alive!
Leave request (crying)
Oh Heaven! I wish to be with you forever, our love lasting without end.
The mountain of my soul has no peak, the water of my heart has dried up, winter thunder roars, summer snow falls, heaven and earth unite as one, and now I must part from you.
(In plain language: I broke up with my fiancé. I need a day to recover. I promise I'll only be depressed for one day. I'll be back to writing tomorrow.)
Farewell, my beloved comrades.
Chapter 101: Lin Chong's Ascension to Demonhood Reached its Limit
Seeing more than a hundred imperial guards surging in from all directions, Lin Chong felt neither sorrow nor joy, only a raging inferno of anger rising within him. He swept his eighteen-foot spear across, deflecting four giant axes, and then plunged it fiercely into the eye of the first imperial guard!
In an instant, skull fragments mixed with eyeballs and crystals burst out of the helmet. Lin Chong exerted force with both arms and sent the two-hundred-pound giant flying high into the sky. As he screamed and struggled, he tore off his own eyes and skull!
"Boom!!!"
When Lin Chong flicked his wrist and swung the corpse, the body with blood spurting from its eyes was flung away, knocking four soldiers in the back row to the ground, disrupting the entire formation!
"Come here! Let your master see if you've neglected your practice these past few days!"
Lin Chong laughed as he charged into the chaotic formation, his spear flashing like a dragon. His second spear pierced straight through the iron armor! Although the Xuan Tie breastplate and the Scale Shadow Serpent Spear were sturdy and had not been pierced, her terrifying power still managed to shatter his left ribs into a comminuted fracture, even through the breastplate and the armor!
Sharp bone fragments exploded in the chests of the Imperial Guards like shotgun shells, piercing their internal organs and leaving them riddled with holes.
Not only that, the Yin Thunder power attached to Ji Du Ni Lin electrocuted him, causing him to foam at the mouth and collapse dizzily.
Lightning is one of the best ways to deal with heavily armored soldiers.
Lin Chong gracefully and calmly dodged several halberds that came from behind. The Scale Shadow Serpent Spear circled around her waist, which was as elegant as a cheetah but full of explosive power. The spearhead, which was wrapped with the Yin Thunder of Jidu, swept around 360 degrees, shattering the shinbones of the Imperial Guards and knocking down seven or eight people who rushed up!
Then, Lin Chong once again wielded her spear in a dazzling display. Although she only had a single serpent spear in her hand, she managed to create the imposing momentum of a thousand troops. Thousands of spear shadows danced and spun in the air, like a phoenix spreading its wings or a hundred birds returning to the forest. The spear tips seemed to have eyes, piercing into the enemy through the only gap in the infantry's armor: the eye hole.
In just a second, a scarlet peony, representing death and slaughter, bloomed from the eye sockets of the eight fallen imperial guards, and Lin Chong killed them all.
At this moment, even Vanus, one of the Six Doors who was skilled at overall planning and calculating the enemy's weaknesses, broke out in a cold sweat.
In fact, she was in charge of planning this ambush against Lin Chong. In her calculations, we had to find a way to make Lin Chong lose his weapon, armor, and mount in order to have a 50% chance of winning and for all 106 people to work together to subdue this gentle and elegant, beautiful but fierce demon.
But now, Lin Chong has somehow acquired a long spear shrouded in shadow, capable of changing size at will, extremely concealed, and in his extreme rage, he even instantly killed three of the Six Doors.
Now, our win rate has plummeted to zero!
"I'm so sorry, Coach!!!"
Twelve halberds swung simultaneously, unleashing full-moon arcs of light. The sound of their blades slicing through the air made the copper bells on the eaves hum. A dense, impenetrable storm of death wove around Lin Chong. The force of the slashing blows cleaved the bluestone ground into a spiderweb pattern, and the flying pebbles couldn't even reach the hem of Lin Chong's clothes.
Lin Chong remained calm and collected. After killing the Qiu Sali assassin who specialized in fighting against psionic energy and demons, he once again used his superb agility to break free from the encirclement. Once again, he leaped onto the roof beam, summoned the Chaotic Silver Beast once more, and jumped onto its back. Foot combat is my weakness; mounted combat is my strength!
"Shoot her! Shoot her!!!"
Gao Qiu was clearly panicked at this moment. More than ninety imperial guards hurriedly drew their crossbows and fired in unison, but the crossbow bolts passed directly through the image of the Silver Beast in the Chaotic Sky and Lin Chong and flew into the distance, as if the image was just a mirage.
This is precisely the illusion created by the snow leopard's manipulation of lighting and shadows!
"Kill them all!!!"
Lin Chong let out a heart-wrenching roar. The monster's streamlined body, weighing two thousand pounds, transformed into a falling comet as it leaped and charged, carving phoenix-shaped sonic boom patterns through the air! It was the ultimate charging technique of the [Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear]!
"boom!!!"
The moment the platinum fur collided with the Imperial Guard's heavy armor, a deafening roar erupted. The Imperial Guard who touched the monster's image was unharmed, but the five Imperial Guards clad in infantry armor beside them were sent flying like kites with broken strings! Their eyes rolled back, blood gushing from their mouths, leaving terrifying, bloody arcs in the sky. They died without ever knowing what had struck them.
As Gao Qiu's pupils barely caught up with the afterimage, the demon raised its right forepaw, unleashing a storm of blood and gore. The sixth imperial guard swung his halberd to strike, but instead struck a mirage. The guards beside him were completely bewildered, and then an invisible giant claw from the void struck them, embedding them alive into the bluestone floor tiles.
As the silver beast claws lifted, a human-shaped crimson crater and a six-foot-wide radial crack were left on the ground two feet away.
Not only that, the six tentacles of the Chaotic Void Silver Beast danced in the sunlight like a living meat grinder! The person being attacked was completely unharmed; these tentacles were all a mirage.
Beside them, the Imperial Guards, who couldn't see the attack, were devastated by the invisible tentacles of the Chaotic Silver Beast! The left tentacle shoved the crossbowman, crossbow and all, into its mouth, and the steel arrows boiled into bubbles in the acid.
The right tentacles coiled around two Iron Guards, causing them to collide head-on. The sound of skulls cracking and brain matter dripping onto the bluestone slabs was deafening.
The most terrifying thing was the Slaanesh tentacle that had been wrapped around the waist of the Imperial Guard, now gracefully tightening its grip. Its three rings of sharp teeth spun and twisted, crushing the cast iron armor into shards like biscuits. Amidst the spurting blood mist, half a spine was stuck between the teeth, making a cracking sound!
Lin Chong wasn't idle either. With the added momentum of the Chaotic Silver Beast's charge, the Shadow Scale Serpent Spear pierced through the iron armor of an Imperial Guard. Suddenly, Lin Chong felt the sensation of shattering ceramics on his wrist—the tremor of the spearhead striking his spine after breaking off his collarbone.
"drink!!!"
Lin Chong roared, and the Imperial Guard pierced by the spear was instantly sent flying backward, his feet leaving the ground. The spear shaft bent into a full moon under the speed of the charging horse! After the armored corpse knocked down five or six Imperial Guards in the second, third, and fourth rows, the spear was already soaked with blood.
Lin Chong suddenly swung his spear shaft. The eighteen-foot spear, now adorned with armored iron corpses, had transformed into a massive warhammer weighing over a hundred pounds. He swept it left and right, drawing a dazzling silver arc of destruction in the air, blasting six Imperial Guards—three from the left and three from the right—flying them away! Their armor cracked, their bones shattered, and they crashed into even more soldiers as they flew through the air! One man and one horseman routed over a hundred Imperial Guards!
At this moment, the Chaotic Silver Beast was still charging! Lin Chong took advantage of the momentum and swung his spear horizontally, the iron-clad spear shaft slamming heavily into the temple of an Imperial Guard. The copper-inlaid helmet caved in, and half a piece of earwax mixed with brain matter spurted out of the man's left ear canal. The forty-pound halberd in his hand fell into a pool of blood along with him.
Lin Chong, caught up in the killing frenzy, brandished his Shadow Scale Serpent Spear, intending to pierce through another man, only to find nothing in front of him: he had already slaughtered his way through a hundred-man Imperial Guard formation.
At this moment, Gao Qiu was completely terrified. The illusory and watery reflections of the Chaotic Silver Beast were incomprehensible not only to Gao Qiu but also to the Imperial Guards. The man and the beast were clearly charging at each other right in front of them, yet there were no casualties in front of them, while a group on their right side was slaughtered and routed.
This is precisely the ability of the Chaotic Void Silver Beast to distort space! Her true form is always beside the image.
It's normal for one person to be able to defeat two or three people, and being able to defeat ten people can be considered a grandmaster of martial arts. But to defeat a hundred Kaifeng Imperial Guards in one go? Is that even human?!
"Quickly, go to the palace and ask His Majesty for help! You lot, cover my escape!!!"
Gao Qiu was terrified. All his thoughts of capturing Lin Chong alive, tying this cold and beautiful woman to the bed and taking whatever he wanted from her vanished. He even forgot about his son Gao Yanei's impotence. "I'd better survive first!" he thought.
Several imperial guards immediately covered Grand Commandant Gao's escape. They were quite capable, covering Grand Commandant Gao as he entered a narrow corridor with complex terrain, and then slipped into a house, minimizing the damage from the charge of the Chaotic Silver Beast.
Her master, Lin Chong, was a member of the Imperial Guard. As long as she couldn't launch a charge, the threat would be greatly reduced. At the very least, it was impossible for her to overwhelm a hundred-man squad with a single charge!
"You old thief! Don't run away!!!"
Lin Chong roared and let his ferocious beast continue its charge in the White Tiger Hall. He then jumped into the corridor, picked up the White Tiger Blade that had been knocked away earlier from the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, and continued to chase after Gao Qiu!
The last three assassins from the Six Doors exchanged a glance, gritted their teeth, and charged forward to fight Lin Chong together!
Grand Commandant Gao was so panicked that he fled in terror when he heard the clanging of metal behind him! The three level 9 assassins from the Six Doors, even with the advantage of the terrain, could only hold out for a little over thirty rounds against Lin Chong before being stabbed to death by his spear! All six level 9 assassins from the Six Doors were wiped out.
Chapter 102: With No One Left to Kill, the Heavenly Star Returns to Its Position
When Lin Chong rode the Chaotic Silver Beast out of the Grand Commandant's mansion, he was covered in blood from the carnage. Only Gao Qiu was lucky; he was protected by dozens of imperial guards and managed to escape.
Liu Hong had just arrived from Liangshan with his men to meet him when he saw Lin Chong storm out of the Grand Commandant's mansion like a demon. He breathed a sigh of relief – there was no need to go to Wild Boar Forest to rescue him. If Lin Chong had hesitated any longer, things would have been difficult to handle.
"Sister, catch!!!"
Liu Hong immediately gave the eighteen-foot-long ancient serpent spear to Lin Chong and took back his own Jidu Rebellious Scale.
"Thank you, little brother. Your ability is indeed very useful."
Lin Chong praised Liu Hong's abilities highly.
"We can talk about gratitude later, let's run! I'll send my men to pick up my sister-in-law, Jin'er, and the others right away. If they don't want us here, there are plenty of other places that will! Sister, come with me quickly! If we're any later, the 800,000 Imperial Guards of Kaifeng will probably be coming for us!"
"Go and pick them up first; I have something else to do."
At this moment, Lin Chong was filled with rage and evil thoughts. She was originally a chivalrous person like Lu Zhisheng and Liu Hong, but she was shackled by the rules of the Song Dynasty and bound by her wife and family, and she was increasingly suppressing her inner thoughts and true feelings.
And this heart, like a spring, once compressed to its limit, bursts forth like wildfire.
"What is my sister going to do?"
Liu Hong asked, somewhat surprised.
"I haven't been able to kill Gao Qiu and Gao Yanei yet! That old scoundrel caused my wife to be harassed twice, forced me to abandon my title as the head instructor of the 800,000 Imperial Guards, and forced me to abandon everything in the Lin family and flee!"
Lin Chong's cold and beautiful face was filled with rage. After speaking, he rode the Chaotic Silver Beast straight towards Gao Qiu's residence!
"There's no such thing as a free lunch! Since he's gone too far, even if I can't kill Gao Qiu, I'll make sure his family is ruined! I'll show that old scoundrel that I, Lin Chong, am not someone to be trifled with!!!"
The moment the Luan Kong Yin Lian Beast's iron claws shattered the vermilion lintel, the gates of the Grand Commandant's mansion crumbled like a pottery jar smashed by a boulder! After Lin Chong retrieved his eighteen-foot spear, his combat power actually increased by another ten percent. That ancient weapon even emitted the roar of a black python in the air, shaking the Gao family members so much that they were terrified and their livers and gallbladders shattered!
Lin Chong glanced around. These servants were all laborers, so there was no point in killing them. He had a grievance to settle and a debt to settle. He went straight for the inner courtyard. Gao Qiu's third uncle had just come out after hearing the noise when he was pierced through the heart by the eighteen-foot spear!
"Lin, Lin Chong? Stop him! Stop him now!!!"
At this moment, Gao Yanei also came out of the room. Upon seeing Lin Chong, he was so frightened that he wet himself. He collapsed behind the Taihu rock and roared. A large number of thugs swarmed over with their staffs, but they were like wheat under a sickle, slaughtered by Lin Chong with his eighteen-foot spear!
The snow leopard's head, like a battering ram, smashed through Bao Tieyuan's gate. The two 300-pound doors spun and sliced into the crowd, smashing three burly men with broadswords in half. Their upper bodies were still crawling on the blue bricks, while their lower bodies were hanging from the mahogany beams, dripping blood.
Lin Chong, wielding his eighteen-foot spear, fought fiercely on the beast's back. Even a hundred Kaifeng Imperial Guards, all at least level 6, couldn't do anything to him, let alone those who were generally only level 1 or 2! The man and the beast fought as if they were in an empty field!
As the spear swept across, the wooden shields of the three guards were torn apart like paper. The spear tip pierced the collarbone of the soldier on the left, and he was flung like a rag doll towards the artificial hill, his skull splattering brains as he crashed into the jagged rocks!
The soldier on the right tried to parry with his sword, but the spear pierced through the blade and went straight to his throat. The remaining force of the spear shaft still lingered, and the soldier and his armor were driven into the screen wall three zhang away, causing the entire room to tremble!
Lin Chong patiently carried out his revenge. Gao Qiu's family consisted of only a few people, including his father's brothers. They had all risen to power along with Gao Qiu, but Lin Chong sent them all to their deaths with a single spear thrust.
He wasn't particularly lecherous; his wife was the daughter of another corrupt official, and they became in-laws. She was also killed by Lin Chong with a single blow.
As for Gao Qiu's concubines, she spared them all. In the Song Dynasty, concubines had a low status, much like private sex slaves. Lin Chong didn't know their specific identities. Were they prostitutes from Fanlou? Daughters of other officials? Maids? Perhaps killing one by one would leave some behind, but killing eleven would definitely harm innocent people. Therefore, Lin Chong didn't kill any of them.
When it was Gao Qiu's father's turn, the old man knelt on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy.
"Instructor, please calm down! This is all the fault of that little bastard Gao Yanei! I'm innocent!"
"Innocent? Where were you elders when Gao Yanei was running rampant in the streets, bullying men and women? Did you ever educate him? And now you claim to be innocent?!"
Your son tried to imprison me, attempted to rape my wife, and caused my father-in-law's family to be ruined and left destitute in his old age. Aren't they innocent?!
"The social dynamics of the Song Dynasty are so complicated that to avoid retaliation, the only way to kill one person is to kill their entire family!!!"
Lin Chong's cold and beautiful face showed no pity. He sent Gao Qiu to his death with a single spear thrust. He killed him with ruthless cruelty and justification, leaving Gao Qiu's relatives, except for his concubines, completely wiped out!
At this moment, Fu An and Lu Qian were so scared they almost wet themselves. They hid behind Gao Yanei, but they couldn't hide. Lin Chong chopped off their heads one by one and tied them to the gun barrels.
In the end, only Gao Yanei remained in the entire Gao mansion. Lin Chong's anger had reached its peak. She calmly chopped off the heads of all the corpses in the Gao family, dragged them into the ancestral hall, and threw them onto the offering table, using the heads of all the descendants of the Gao family to worship the ancestors of the Gao family.
Then, she forced Gao Yanei to kneel before the fallen ancestral tablets and the bleeding heads. When Gao Yanei was in the extreme of fear, pain, and despair, she drew the White Tiger Blade and chopped off his left leg! A column of blood spurted onto the wall several meters high!
Screams, wails, struggles, and contortions filled the air as Lin Chong indifferently watched Gao Yanei's agonizing struggles. He chopped off Gao Yanei's limbs with four strokes, cut off his second brother with a fifth, and finally beheaded him with a sixth, killing the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat).
In an instant, a demonic wind blew, and the 108 orange-red flames on the Gao family's bronze altar first turned into Slaanesh's alluring pink, then collapsed into terrifying vortexes of magical power! The Dark Prince's laughter echoed from the other side, and the entire Gao mansion was swallowed up by Slaanesh's domain, becoming part of the chaos!
Countless human heads spewed forth a massive amount of blood, forming a vast sea of blood around Lin Chong, transforming into a demonic magic circle that propelled him to demonhood.
In the blink of an eye, the Chaotic Silver Beast transformed into a silver storm, pouring into Lin Chong's body. Lin Chong's raised jade neck stretched into a breathtaking arc under the sky. The jade hairpin in his hair was the first to melt, and his black hair cascaded down like ink, but it condensed into liquid silver frost when it touched his shoulders—for every inch the hair fell, thirty-six ice crystal snowflakes bloomed, and his long black hair quickly turned silver-white, emitting a terrifying magical fluctuation.
The dramatic change began in the earlobes. The earlobes, adorned with jade moon pendants, suddenly became transparent, and the glass-like cartilage extended upwards into the outline of large animal ears. Silvery-white fur climbed along the cheekbones, eventually forming two soft tufts of ear tips on the top of the head, resembling those of a snow leopard.
