Chapter 1704 Come out and face your death!
The black and red opera robes covered the sky and blocked out the sun.
Upon hearing those four words, a faint smile appeared in her ruby-like eyes.
He allowed Han Meng to judge him, not only to make Han Meng understand his actions, but also to use Han Meng's sense of justice to measure whether everything he had done was right.
Having slaughtered two realms in succession and personally killed so many innocent people, Chen Ling was already numb. When he saw the endless corpses hanging under the sky with his own hands, he was momentarily dazed... He couldn't help but question himself whether what he was doing was right.
The sky was shrouded in darkness, and all living beings fell into ruin.
Killing a thousand people is not evil; crossing the river on a red boat is suffering.
Killing thousands is not inherently evil, but the number of people who have died at Chen Ling's hands has already reached hundreds of thousands. Who can guarantee that every single one of them was willing to be "saved"? Regardless of Chen Ling's ultimate goal, the fact remains that he massacred the people, and the current bloodshed, suffering, and condemnation are all real.
Chen Ling was caught in the middle of the situation and couldn't immediately determine whether she was right or wrong... but in this world, there are people who can.
Han Meng is like an absolutely fair mirror; the moment the trial begins, justice will give Chen Ling the answer.
And now, Chen Ling has received that answer.
"……Thanks."
After a long silence, Chen Ling spoke sincerely to Han Meng.
“If you want to kill Lingxu Jun, I can help you,” Han Meng said immediately. “On the other side of the Lingxu Realm lies a world built from formulas. The two Ninth Lords and those Eighth-Order beings all died there…”
Han Meng succinctly recounted everything he knew, and Chen Ling listened thoughtfully.
He said something to Han Meng, and the two figures looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
The officer in the black law enforcement trench coat sped off in one direction.
An aura of world destruction surged around Chen Ling as he continued to slowly move forward beneath the overwhelming black and red light...
Endless red paper tentacles, seemingly possessing their own consciousness, extended in all directions, constantly reaping the terrified survivors from the surrounding building ruins. Scattered ghosts floated up from the ruins, surging towards the red paper umbrella.
Some residents were not killed by Chen Ling because of the height of the building or because they were sleeping. Some died in the collapsed building, while others died by suicide in extreme fear. No matter how they died, their souls were drawn into the red paper umbrella.
The red paper umbrella's ability is to absorb all ghosts within its surrounding area, regardless of whether Chen Ling killed them herself. The reason Chen Ling gave the Twilight Society members poison was because they were too far away from her, and the red paper umbrella couldn't contain their ghosts... Therefore, she could only use [Abyss Ghost Crossing] to first attract their ghosts over, ignoring spatial limitations, and then absorb them into the red paper umbrella.
So while Chen Ling was frantically reaping the lives of the residents of the Lingxu Realm, he could also sense ghosts being drawn in from the north.
Hearts 7, Clubs 8, Hearts 9, Diamonds 10, Hearts J...
With each ghost of the Twilight Society returning to its place, Chen Ling felt a sense of unease... The faster the ghosts returned, the more intense the battle on the Forbidden Sea battlefield was, and the more disadvantaged the Twilight Society was.
But if a ghost doesn't return to its place, Chen Ling feels nervous, fearing that someone might not have swallowed the poison and won't be able to go to the next world.
In the end, Chen Ling counted the ghosts summoned back by the [Abyss Ghost Crossing], and found that five were missing:
Grey King, Red Heart 9, Jiang Xiaohua, Jian Changsheng... and Zhao Yi, an unofficial member of the Twilight Society.
The good news is that the Twilight Society was not completely wiped out, which suggests that the encirclement and suppression of Ji Zai may have been successful...
The bad news is... not all of these missing ghosts made it to the end; some of them may never have the chance to meet again.
Chen Ling took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then slashed out with her sword.
The blood-red full moon reappeared in the ruins.
Tens of thousands of lives were extinguished simultaneously.
The once bustling and densely populated Lingxu Realm has now been slaughtered by Chen Ling into a blood-red dead city. Broken corpses are scattered in every corner of the ruins, and an extremely strong stench of blood rises into the sky.
Even so, Chen Ling still did not see Lingxu Jun's figure...
From the moment Chen Ling stepped into the Lingxu Realm, Lingxu Jun did not reveal the slightest aura. He showed no intention of intervening even as Chen Ling slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people. If Chen Ling had not been able to sense that Lingxu Jun's domain still enveloped the realm, he would have almost doubted whether Lingxu Jun was still there.
It was as if everything happening here had nothing to do with him.
"Ignoring the lives of others, he's just burying himself in seclusion to recuperate..."
Chen Ling guessed that Lingxu Jun might not be unwilling to help, but rather that his physical condition was indeed extremely poor, and he knew that if he did not recover some strength as soon as possible, he might not be a match for her at all.
Chen Ling took a deep breath, and the next second, the [True Word] was activated on the tip of his tongue, its sound like thunder exploding across the entire realm:
"Wu Tongyuan—!!"
"Come out...and prepare to die!!!"
Beneath the sky, where black and red intertwine, an oppressive sense of world destruction surged through the realm. Yet, despite Chen Ling's provocation, Lingxu Jun did not release the slightest aura.
Chen Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that Lingxu Jun was probably trying to stall for time. Since he couldn't force him to reveal himself this way, he would have to think of another method...
After a while,
His gaze fell upon the towering Akashic Tower in the distance.
Chen Ling snorted coldly, her figure tumbling towards the tower as if draped in a red and black theatrical robe that blotted out the sky!
"If you don't come out, I'll cut this tower down right in front of you!!"
Chen Ling raised her hand, and the boning knife automatically fell into her palm. The power of [Wall Breaking] spread wildly in all directions, forcefully compressing the surrounding messy and dilapidated ruins into two dimensions...
At the same time, a red thread that runs through two and three dimensions extends out from the blade of the boning knife once again!
Just as Chen Ling was about to swing her sword at the Tower of Akash, a sudden change occurred!
Om-! ! !
Three booming sounds overlapped and tore through the sky.
Three chess pieces were thrown out from the ruins of Lingxu Ancient Temple, flying in three different directions, skipping across the water in the void, and then simultaneously encircling Chen Ling in strange arcs!
Sure enough, once he threatened the Tower of Akash, he couldn't hold back anymore.
A sharp glint flashed in Chen Ling's eyes!
Chen Ling is no longer the same person he was before. He doesn't even need to break through the wall to avoid these attacks. The boning knife in his hand once again ripped open a blood-red full moon, sweeping across the void, and the three world-destroying chess pieces were cut in half from the center!
Boom boom boom——! !
The shattered chess pieces collided with each other, sparks flew, and an explosion containing terrifying energy engulfed the heavens and the earth.
