Ling Tian Sword God

"Is this what fate has planned?"

Ling Chen sighed. Even after all this, he hadn't managed to kill the Demonic Beast Elder. Now that the Heavenly Mansion Sword had depleted its power, how could he be a match for the Demonic Beast Elder?

"You insolent brat, prepare to die!"

The Demonic Beast Elder bared his teeth and claws, charging at Ling Chen like a frenzied Exotic Beast.

"Demon, your target is me!"

In the critical moment, Lin Yu rushed in front of Ling Chen. The perfect three-headed serpent bloodline within him activated, and a huge phantom of a Three-headed Serpent emerged, blocking him.

Seeing Lin Yu step forward, the Demonic Beast Elder did not hesitate at all. To him, Ling Chen meant nothing. If he killed him, so what? On the other hand, Lin Yu was his target for this mission—not a single hair on his head could be harmed.

"Out of the way!"

With a sweep of his palm, the Demonic Beast Elder shattered the Three-headed Serpent phantom. He then brushed past Lin Yu, launching himself towards Ling Chen.

However, Lin Yu turned and threw himself at the Demonic Beast Elder's legs, clenching onto them with desperate strength.

"You fool, don't court death!"

Killing intent swirled on the face of the Demonic Beast Elder. Furious, he was capable of anything.

"Demon, I'm willing to go with you, as long as you spare Brother Ling Chen. I'll agree to anything you want!" Lin Yu's face was resolute as he spoke.

This kid.

Upon hearing these words, Ling Chen couldn't help but pause slightly, then shook his head. He didn't expect Lin Yu, this young man, to be so loyal. Unfortunately, what use is there in saying such things to a demon?

"Sure, kid. I promise you, now let go of me."

A twisted grin spread across the Demonic Beast Elder's face, his twisted expression seemingly returning to normal.

As requested, Lin Yu let go.

WHAM!

The moment Lin Yu loosened his grip, a solid punch suddenly slammed into his stomach. He was knocked to the ground.

"You!" Lin Yu stared in disbelief. He hadn't expected the Demonic Beast Elder to break his promise.

"Hmph, foolish boy, you believed what I said?"

The Demonic Beast Elder laughed, kicked Lin Yu away, and resumed his approach towards Ling Chen.

He withdrew a dagger from his sleeve, intending to lop off Ling Chen's head.

At that very moment, a flute's melody suddenly resounded.

The flute's sound was mesmerizing, as if coming from a different domain, entrapping anyone who heard it.

Both the Demonic Beast Elder and Ling Chen felt a sense of dizziness as the sound entered their ears. It was as if their minds were being pricked with needles. After a while, they lifted their heads to see a woman in a green robe sitting on the roof of the great hall.

The woman's face was hard to see. Half of it looked human, and the other half was covered in green scales. Even more surprising was that the lower half of her body was a snake's tail, not a pair of human legs.

"Is it the Green Serpent Demon? My god, it actually exists! Are there really such creatures in this world?"

"Well, it's said that the Lin Family's bloodline came from our ancestor and a green serpent demon. That's how we got the Three-headed snake bloodline passed down through the Lin Family."

"That's right. I've also heard that mistakenly consuming Exotic Beast's Essence Blood might turn you into a half-beast, half-human creature. You can't just judge someone as a Green Serpent Demon based on their appearance."

Upon seeing the green-attired woman, the people of the Lin Family were full of amazement and shock.

"Playing tricks! Your Excellency, who dares to meddle in the affairs of My Beast Gate should consider the consequences."

The Demonic Beast Elder's face darkened, and he looked warily at the woman in green.

Her flute melody was quite peculiar, affecting his consciousness significantly. Also, her appearance indicated that she was not an ordinary human.

"Myriad Beasts Sect… What is that?"

The woman in green put down her flute, her expression indifferent.

"Don't joke around. In the Jianghu, is there anyone who doesn't know about the Myriad Beasts Sect? I advise Your Excellency not to meddle, lest you bring about your own destruction," the Demonic Beast Elder spoke ominously.

"Whether you're from the Thousand Beasts Sect or the Myriad Beasts Sect, none can step into this place. I give you ten breaths' time to leave, or else I'll feed you to the snakes."

The woman in green maintained her indifferent demeanour.

"Laughable! I can come and go as I please. Do you think I fear a little girl like you? Since you insist on interfering, you can accompany this young man to Hell!"

The Demonic Beast Elder was merely wary of the woman in green, and not yet afraid. With bloodlust in his eyes, he desired to kill Ling Chen urgently, despite the woman's mysterious nature.

No sooner had he spoken than his hand stretched forth, True Qi gathering at the center of his right palm, striking mercilessly towards Ling Chen.

"Ignorant."

On the roof, the woman in green shook her head. She considered the Demonic Beast Elder as overestimating his abilities. With a flash, she descended from the roof and landed in front of the Elder.

"I'll start by killing you, demon! Evil Demon Illusion!"

Once again, the Demonic Beast Elder used the killing move he'd previously used against Ling Chen. His body split into three, forming three illusions that simultaneously moved to kill the woman in green.

His limit was six illusions, but Ling Chen had seriously injured him, and now his limit was three. Any more was impossible.

"Break!"

The woman in green softly said, "Break!" Suddenly, she moved as if she had performed an instant transmission. She reached out with both hands, grabbing two of the illusions charging towards her. With a sudden squeeze of her palms, the two illusions broke apart in her hands, effortlessly.

However, the remaining illusion, the real body of the Demonic Beast Elder, had managed to approach the woman in green and aimed a palm at her head.

"Trying to interfere, eh? Die!" The Elder sneered endlessly.

But his laughter had not yet faded when a huge black snake shadow suddenly appeared behind the woman in green. The snake shadow's aura seemed to be completely in sync with the woman in green's breath, indicating it was a manifestation of her Bloodline Power.

"Such a strong Bloodline! Its aura is even stronger than my perfect three-headed serpent bloodline."

Lin Yu watched the black snake shadow behind the woman in green in shock. The black snake shadow was evidently much more potent than his perfect three-headed serpent bloodline. The woman seemed to be manipulating this powerful force effortlessly. The black snake shadow and the woman in green were like a single entity, closely connected: if one prospered, both prospered; if one suffered, both suffered.

"Devour!"

A ruthless glint flashed in the woman in green's eyes. The black snake shadow disappeared like lightning. When it reappeared, it had already reached behind the Demonic Beast Elder. Suddenly, it opened its mouth wide, and to everyone's astonishment, it swallowed the Demonic Beast Elder whole.

CRUNCH, CRUNCH!

The black snake shadow, as if it were alive, began to chew loudly after swallowing the Demonic Beast Elder, creating a series of creepy noises.
