38: Chapter 38 My name is Linwen

Commander Lin Wen, who was standing in the distance and frantically bombarding the monster horde with the Wind God Cannon, also noticed the monster Demon King locked in combat with Yan Jin.

However, she did not continue to aim the Wind God Cannon at Yan Jin's location, not only because Yan Jin was too close to the Demon King, but also because quite a few monsters were already charging in her direction.

"Since you are so eager to seek death, then I will grant your wish."

Commander Lin Wen gritted her teeth and adjusted the power to the Undying Realm, Second-tier Demon King level.

She activated the switch, and with one shot, the surrounding sixty meters instantly turned into a sea of fire; those monsters that were only High-Level Monster Soldiers, or even less than High-Level Monster Soldiers, were reduced to ashes in an instant.

However, at this moment, one could see that the white hair on Commander Lin Wen's head was increasing.

One shot at the Undying Realm level was equivalent to consuming half a year of lifespan.

And this shot not only killed all the monsters that were surrounding her but even severely injured a Demon Race Grand Commander.

At this moment, facing the Wind God Cannon in Commander Lin Wen's hands, all the monsters began to shift their focus onto her.

Obviously, the threat of a crazy red-haired person was far less than the threat of Commander Lin Wen using the Wind God Cannon in the distance.

After a roar, the monsters gathered again and charged towards Commander Lin Wen.

This time, there were more of them, and their actions were even more frantic.

Commander Lin Wen pulled the trigger, and the cannon blast at the Undying Realm level flew toward the monsters.

After a loud explosion, the sea of fire that should have appeared did not appear this time; instead, within the explosion smoke, dozens of insignificant High-Level Monster Soldiers fell, while the monsters hiding behind them were not affected at all.

"I didn't expect that although you are not a Divine Venerable, you actually possess a divine artifact with the power of a Divine Venerable. It seems you humans have quite a few secrets."

A Second-tier Demon King with a head like a green snake and a face like a vulture appeared in front of the monsters, though no one knew when.

And that Undying Realm cannon shot from Commander Lin Wen just now had been blocked by it.

Looking at the Green Snake Demon King emitting eerie power, Commander Lin Wen didn't waste words; she raised the Wind God Cannon and fired several more shots in succession.

She didn't believe that if it could block one shot, it could also block four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten shots.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

After ten shots, the area in front of her turned into a sea of fire once again, and by this time, Commander Lin Wen's hair had already turned white by nearly half.

Ten shots at the Undying Realm level cost five and a half years of lifespan.

However, a Demon King, especially a Second-tier Demon King, was not so easy to deal with.

Behind the smoke and sea of fire, that familiar figure walked out from the flames.

"Not bad. Although each of your shots is not as strong as a true Undying Realm Divine Venerable, the power is equivalent to a full-force strike from the Danyun Realm. If I weren't already a Second-tier Demon King, I might have really fallen for your trick. But now, I am familiar with all your attacks; your methods are ineffective against this King."

The Green Snake Demon King said this as its figure began to approach Commander Lin Wen rapidly; it wanted to finish her off in one move.

Commander Lin Wen raised the Wind God Cannon, calmly adjusted the power to the Dark Star Realm, Fourth-tier Demon King level, closed her eyes, and said slowly:

"Is that so? Are you so sure that I can only exert the strength of the Undying Realm?"

"Goodbye, Lord Demon King."

Three cannonballs flew out of the Wind God Cannon simultaneously, hitting the Green Snake Demon King squarely in the chest. The three shells exploded at the same time, and the resulting flames tortured the Green Snake Demon King until it was in agonizing pain.

But this was not the most terrifying part; when the flames burned the Green Snake Demon King's body, they began to dry out its flesh, roast its marrow, and evaporate its demon power at an extremely fast speed.

In less than a moment, the Wind God Cannon re-enacted the way their Demon Race treated humans upon it.

Demon Core—this time there was no Demon Core, only countless ashes drifting in a sea of fire.

The death of the Green Snake Demon King caused the Demon Race side to fall into chaos instantly, and even the First-tier Demon King fighting Yan Jin to the death could not help but stop its actions.

Being able to kill the Green Snake Demon King in one move meant that Commander Lin Wen was clearly someone it could not handle.

However, just as this Demon King was preparing to retreat, it suddenly saw Commander Lin Wen, whose hair had turned white in an instant.

It was also in this instant that it seemed to understand something and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, so that's it, so that's it. This King finally knows why you were able to kill the Green Snake; you used a secret technique that burns lifespan. You humans are truly reckless with your lives."

The First-tier Demon King widened the distance between itself and Yan Jin, jumped behind the other monsters, and began to direct the remaining monsters to launch a surprise attack on Commander Lin Wen.

It wanted to see how many more times the human in front of it could use that secret technique.

"All monsters, listen to my command: kill her for me."

At the Demon King's command, the horde of monsters began to charge towards Commander Lin Wen.

At this time, after several bursts of power, Commander Lin Wen had lost nearly twenty years of lifespan; she was originally only eighteen or nineteen, but now she looked like someone in her thirties or forties.

Although her face had not yet aged, most of her hair had turned white.

However, facing the Demon King's provocation and the charge of the monsters, she was not afraid at all.

She raised the Wind God Cannon in her hand, firing shot after shot, as if she were not at all worried about dying from the exhaustion of her lifespan.

And this battle lasted a long, long time.

It did not subside until the next morning.

Commander Lin Wen lay under a tree, surrounded by a mountain of Demon Cores, among which one was the most eye-catching—that was the Demon King's Demon Core.

Yan Jin sat behind her, quietly watching the woman in front of him; his heart was very calm, but not entirely so.

Relying on the peak of Marrow Cleansing to fight a Demon King—this was the bravest woman he had ever seen, just like his mother.

Although his mother passed away when he was very young, he had seen his mother before.

"Miss, may I ask your name?"

Yan Jin hesitated for a long time, but ultimately asked what was in his heart.

Commander Lin Wen turned her head; with her white hair, she matched Yan Jin quite well, and she gave him a faint smile as always.

"My name is Commander Lin Wen."

"Commander Lin Wen." Yan Jin silently repeated the name several times, having already etched the woman before him into his memory.

...

The people far outside the Yuyang Grotto-Heaven were already in an uproar.

This was already the third day, but the score pillars used by everyone to record their points were completely motionless, as if they had been frozen.

At this moment, the several great families located in the viewing platform were running around in anxiety.

"What is going on? Why have the point pillars of everyone shown no movement for three days?"

The first to be anxious were the people of the Meng Family.

After observing for a few days, they discovered that not only had Meng Chuan's points not increased at all, but even Liu Qiyue and the people from Xining Prefecture had zero points.

Compared to the panic of the Meng Family, the Bai and Yun families of Dongning Prefecture appeared much calmer.

Although both were also puzzled as to why there had been no movement on the point pillars for three days, they felt satisfied seeing the people of the Meng Family anxious.

"I say, you Meng Family members really can't keep your composure. I know that kid Meng Chuan; although he is a little ugly, it is absolutely impossible for him to die, absolutely impossible for him to die."

While saying this, Bai San, who was flabby, looked wretched, and had a stubbly face, did not forget to shake his big belly and laugh non-stop.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew that he was cursing Meng Chuan to be dead.

Facing Bai San's provocation, the Meng Family head, Meng Yanping, immediately slapped the table, ready to take action in anger, but as soon as he stood up, he was stopped by Body-Refining Martial God Meng Dajiang, who was standing to the side with a big belly.

Looking at his nephew who stopped him, Meng Yanping snorted and sat back down in his seat.
