Chapter 2470: Chapter 1114: Thank Heaven, Thank Earth, Thank God Lin! (Part 2)

"Kill!"

Among so many people, Xia Hongyao was the simplest; she didn’t think of anything. As long as Little Linzi charged, she would charge as well.

Boom!

The Golden Armor Guards standing on both sides of the great hall were tense as they saw Lin Baici rushing towards the throne and hurried to defend the king.

If the king died, their entire families would be executed.

"Red Medicine, don’t attack!"

Lin Baici shouted anxiously.

High ponytail didn’t know their target was the concubine. If she attacked the king and he ordered their execution, it would be over.

"How dare you!"

The Chief Eunuch shouted from the steps, rushing toward Lin Baici, trying to block him.

Swish!

Lin Baici didn’t know the combat power of this Chief Eunuch, so he didn’t fight head-on but used teleportation to bypass him.

"The king!"

"You dare!"

"Kill him!"

The great hall was in chaos.

Lin Baici remained unmoved and appeared before the king.

He met the king’s gaze.

This king looked calmly at Lin Baici, not dodging or avoiding, even having the mood to sip some fine wine.

The king’s demeanor was like watching a moth fly into a flame, or an ant trying to shake a tree.

In the king’s eyes, there was nothing but contempt and disdain, as if he could easily crush Lin Baici with just one finger.

"Ah!"

The concubine kneeling beside was frightened by Lin Baici and crawled towards the back of the throne using both hands and feet.

Lin Baici bent down, stretched his long arm to grab the concubine’s hair, and pulled her back.

"Ah!"

The concubine screamed in pain, "Don’t kill me!"

Lin Baici pulled the concubine close, thrust his left hand down into her belt, and pulled strongly.

Ripping sound!

What brute force did Lin Baici have? With one pull, the concubine’s belt along with her clothes was torn off by Lin Baici.

Exposing a trembling, pale body to the air.

Lin Baici returned and teleported back to the great hall.

"Hey?"

Xia Hongyao was dumbfounded, Little Linzi, what are you doing?

But she also quickly stopped and ran back.

"Ah?"

Everyone looked bewildered, even Gu Qingqiu and San Miyairi couldn’t have imagined the concubine’s belt was a key item.

Now seeing Lin Baici’s target was such, they guessed a bit.

"Is the way to kill the Marquis of Changxin to strangle?"

Gu Qingqiu had a sudden insight.

Dudek stroked his chin, confirming that Lin Baici likely had prophecy-like Divine Grace, otherwise, it couldn’t explain why he would do such a nonsensical act.

"How dare you, attempting to assassinate the king!"

The Marquis of Changxin roared, "Guards, kill them!"

Some Golden Armor Guards searched for Lin Baici’s figure, while some charged toward the king, quickly forming a blockade of human shields.

"Get out of the way!"

The king scolded.

How can a bunch of ants bother me?

Quickly get out, don’t delay me from watching the show!

The king had originally rated Lin Baici quite high, and now raised it even further.

This kind of toy, of course, needs to be played with carefully!

If he performs well, he could be taken in as a dog.

Hmm!

With his looks, keeping him by his side as an eunuch wouldn’t be bad either.

"What? Not to kill the king?"

Everyone was utterly bewildered.

What exactly is Lin Baici up to?

Risking being hacked to death by the Golden Armor Guards, just to strip that woman’s clothes?

"Eri, draw fire!"

Gu Qingqiu urged, simultaneously revealing the hidden Red Demon to draw the Marquis of Changxin’s attention, giving Lin Baici a chance to sneak attack.

The Marquis of Changxin looked at the armor samurai suddenly appearing beside him, without any panic, shook his long sword, and seven plum blossom tips landed on Red Demon.

Clink, clink, clink!

Sparks flew.

Swish!

Nine white fox tails burst out like a blooming peony from the Marquis of Changxin’s feet, wrapping around him.

The Marquis of Changxin just dodged, and Lin Baici immediately teleported behind him. In the lightning-fast moment, he grabbed Hong Ling with both hands and looped it around the Marquis of Changxin’s neck.

The Marquis of Changxin was filled with anger and shock, swinging a sword backward, but it was blocked by Xia Hongyao before hitting Lin Baici.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Lin Baici swiftly looped three more circles, tightly strangling the Marquis of Changxin.

"Red Medicine, get out of the way!"

Lin Baici shouted, his arms exerting force, pulling Changxin Hou and suddenly leaping backward.

He was worried that Changxin Hou might make a desperate counterattack before dying, severely injuring the high ponytail.

After retreating near a thick column, Lin Baici grabbed Hong Ling with both hands and swung Changxin Hou, smashing him against the column.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Tear! Tear!

The force that Lin Baici used was immense, causing his muscles to bulge and rip the sleeves of his robe.

Changxin Hou struggled; with a sword in his right hand ready to slash at Lin Baici, his left hand kept clawing at the Hong Ling around his neck, trying to pull it off.

"..."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Lin Baici snatched the concubine’s belt, was it to strangle this Changxin Hou?

How did he think of this?

What was most speechless was that this method of killing seemed feasible? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Changxin Hou was no longer as fierce as before, his face turning red and purple, unable to make a sound.

"Die already!"

The veins and blood vessels on the back of Lin Baici’s hands bulged.

At this moment, he could strangle a tyrannosaurus to death with his bare hands.

Holy Son Descent!

Dudek made a move, suppressing Changxin Hou.

Wang Helin also rushed over, his hands rapidly shooting out over a dozen silver needles, embedding them in Changxin Hou’s arms.

Changxin Hou’s struggling arms immediately weakened.

"Is your method working?"

Chestnut medal stared at the furnace, with not much left of the burning bamboo slips inside.

"It’s sticking out its tongue, what do you think?"

Kim Myungjin retorted.

My Oppa fights bravely at the front, yet you neither put in effort nor stop unnerving others—truly deserving of death!

The Hong Ling wrapped around Changxin Hou’s neck was already wound tightly, on the verge of snapping.

Changxin Hou’s struggles grew feebler.

The Golden Armor Guards did not immediately step forward to kill Lin Baici and his group but looked towards the king.

The king remained silent, so the Golden Armor Guards held their weapons and surrounded them without saving Changxin Hou.

Lin Baici glanced at the furnace.

When Changxin Hou completely stopped breathing, perhaps the bamboo slips would be reduced to ashes, so Lin Baici dragged Changxin Hou quickly to the bronze furnace, then exerted force with both hands, throwing him towards the hearth.

Bang!

Changxin Hou hit the furnace’s opening, struggling desperately.

Lin Baici mustered all his strength, as if throwing a fish, slamming Changxin Hou fiercely onto the furnace a few times, and when his struggles slowed, he threw him inside.

Thud!

Changxin Hou fell into the furnace.

"Ah!"

Changxin Hou screamed, tearing at the Hong Ling on his neck while lunging outwards.

"Close the furnace door!"

Lin Baici shouted.

Each of the four furnace openings had an iron plate above, suspended on a raised rivet by a metal ring.

In fact, without Lin Baici shouting, Dudek, Xia Hongyao, and Wang Helin already lowered the iron plates as quickly as possible.

Everyone panted heavily, their eyes fixed on the furnace.

"How long does it need to burn?"

"The flames inside are so fierce, shouldn’t it turn to ash in a dozen seconds?"

"But it’s a BOSS-level monster!"

Everyone chattered, their expressions shifting from despair to anticipation.

It must succeed!

That way, everyone wouldn’t have to be sacrificed.

Xia Hongyao used the tip of the knife to nudge the iron plate aside a bit, peeking inside while keeping low.

"It’s extinguished!"

Xia Hongyao rejoiced and urged Lin Baici and the others, "Quick, grab the bamboo slips!"

Swoosh!

Hearing this, everyone surged forward.

Lin Baici opened the iron plate.

Sure enough, the flames had already extinguished; Changxin Hou hadn’t turned to ash, but had become a long, black charcoal, appearing quite terrifying.

"Get out of the way!"

Chestnut medal pushed the crowd aside, occupying one furnace opening to start retrieving bamboo slips.

"Everyone just take seven bamboo slips, no more!"

Lin Baici warned, worried that someone might take more, preventing others from obtaining a sufficient number.

No one dared approach Lin Baici’s furnace opening, leaving it to Kim Myungjin and Hua Yue Yu.

They didn’t dare, and they respected.

If Lin Baici hadn’t discovered the key to purification, everyone would have been burned as offerings!

Thank heaven, thank God Lin!

Following him, they might indeed survive and return!
