27: You old hag, prepare to die!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For everyone in Qingyang City, these three days were like an ordeal in hell.

Doubt, panic, despair... all sorts of negative emotions, like dark clouds, shrouded the city.

Countless people fled, countless people cursed, countless people hid in corners, trembling and waiting for the end of the world.

And today, the day of judgment has arrived!

"Boom—rumble—rumble—!"

On this day, above the sky, the winds and clouds changed color!

A colossal demonic ship, crafted from tens of thousands of white bones, tore through the clouds and slowly descended!

Above the demonic ship, blood-colored banners fluttered, and countless figures of demonic cultivators appeared intermittently, exuding monstrous demonic energy!

And at the very front of that demonic ship, a seductive figure, filled with supreme majesty, lay languidly on a throne piled high with skulls.

She was none other than the Blood Slaughter Demon Empress!

A pressure far exceeding the Golden Core, enough to make heaven and earth tremble, at the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, crashed down like a falling sky, heavily pressing upon Qingyang City's defensive formation!

"Om—!"

The city's defensive formation, activated by Luo Bingli with all her heart and soul, only lasted less than three breaths under this pressure before emitting a mournful groan of unbearable strain, its light instantly dimming, and countless cracks, like a spiderweb, spread across the entire light barrier!

Inside the city, all cultivators and mortals who hadn't managed to escape simultaneously spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, knocked to their knees by the residual power, unable to move!

This was the might of the Nascent Soul Stage!

Mere aura was enough to crush an entire city's inhabitants!

"Lin Chen..."

"Get out here and die!"

The Blood Slaughter Demon Empress's voice wasn't loud, yet it pierced clearly into the ears of everyone in the city, like a demonic chant from the netherworld!

It's over!

Only these two words remained in everyone's hearts.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Bingli and the Blood Moon Wolf Queen also had pale faces and trembling bodies.

Even though they had long known of the opponent's terror, when truly facing it, that absolute suppression stemming from a higher life level still made them feel waves of powerlessness and despair.

And just at this moment of utter silence, when everyone thought Qingyang City was about to be massacred.

A calm voice drifted from the city center, from that Saint Son's Courtyard.

"What's the rush?"

"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

Along with the voice, a figure shot into the sky, slowly hovering above Qingyang City, facing the sky-obscuring demonic ship from afar.

It was Lin Chen!

After three days, his aura seemed to have not changed much; he was still at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

He still looked so... "weak."

"The Saint is out!"

"He... he really dares to come out and fight?!"

"He's crazy! He must be crazy! He's seeking his own death!"

In the city, countless survivors looked at that figure, as tiny as an ant before the massive demonic ship, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

There was mockery, reluctance, admiration, but more than anything, there was sadness, believing he was doomed to die.

Above the demonic ship, when the Blood Slaughter Demon Empress saw Lin Chen, a greedy flame instantly erupted in her seductive eyes.

"Hehehe... the Chaos Dao Body is indeed a top-tier item! This Empress is almost reluctant to kill you."

She slowly stood up, looking down at Lin Chen as if he were already her possession.

"Little fellow, kneel now and offer your loyalty and your body, and this Empress might consider only draining ninety percent of your vital essence, leaving you with a dog's life, how about it?"

Lin Chen seemed not to hear these humiliating words.

He merely raised his head, glanced at the demonic ship made of white bones, then at the demonic cultivators with their mixed auras on the ship, and slowly shook his head.

"Just this many people?"

A look of disappointment appeared on his face.

"I thought you'd move the entire Blood Demon Cult's main base here."

Hmm?!

At these words, not only the Blood Slaughter Demon Empress but everyone in the city was stunned.

He... what does he mean by this?

He thinks there are too few enemies?!

"Little beast! You're on the verge of death, yet you still dare to boast!" The Blood Slaughter Demon Empress's face darkened, her eyes revealing a murderous intent. "Since you're so eager to die, this Empress will grant your wish!"

As her voice fell, she suddenly raised her hand!

A gigantic demonic claw, formed from monstrous demonic energy and covering the sky, instantly appeared above, descending fiercely towards Lin Chen with terrifying power capable of shattering mountains!

This grab sealed all space!

This grab contained the supreme demonic might of the Mid Nascent Soul Stage!

In everyone's eyes, Lin Chen had absolutely no chance of survival!

However.

Facing this world-destroying blow.

Lin Chen's face finally revealed a smile of a successful scheme.

He slowly raised his right hand.

In his palm, at some unknown point, a mysterious orb had appeared... flashing with nine-colored lightning and filled with endless destructive aura!

That was his ultimate trump card, condensed by exhausting all resources from the two great treasuries of Qingyang City and Black Wind Mountain, capable of destroying heaven and earth!

"Old hag,"

Lin Chen looked at the giant demonic claw approaching in the sky, then at the seductive face on the demonic ship, filled with smugness and cruelty, and chuckled softly:

"Do you know what 'mob pulling' is?"

"Now, I'll let you see it."

"What the hell... is art!"

As his voice fell, the nine-colored lightning orb in his hand instantly erupted with a terrifying light that made the entire world lose its color!

"Divine Ability—Nine Revolutions Lightning Tribulation Pearl!"

"Explode!"
