Chapter 1223: Spirit Slayer
The King of the Underworld never thought he would lose, nor did he expect to lose to a wet-behind-the-ears youngster.
In this moment, murderous intent surged in his eyes.
He had long considered Zhao Xiaowen to be his woman, yet now this woman had actually thrown herself into another's arms.
The King of the Underworld's hatred gnawed at him, especially as he saw the two embracing, their sweet happiness only provoking him further, igniting the flame of anger within his heart.
In The Peaceful Realms, he was akin to a god; no one dared defy him, and no one dared disobey him.
But now, this bastard in front of him had delivered a heavy slap to his face in front of everyone.
Within the Underworld Palace, many watched the King of the Underworld's bloody gaze and their expressions subtly changed.
They knew he was enraged, and they were certain that this pair was doomed.
The Soul-hooking Ming King, Blood Fiend Ming King, and Purgatory Ming King exchanged glances, revealing expressions of joy in their hearts.
This foolish youngster dared cause trouble at the King of the Underworld's grand wedding. If they killed this youngster, the King would surely handsomely reward them.
Thinking of this, the three Ming Kings signaled to their subordinates.
At this moment, the powerful Ming Monarchs under their command leaped onto the platform one after another.
"Kid, daring to make a scene at the King of the Underworld's wedding, you're seeking death."
"Daring to offend the King of the Underworld, today we'll skin you alive and yank your tendons, making sure you never find peace in eternity."
...
Those Ming Monarch experts, like ravenous wolves, instantly surrounded Lin Chen and Zhao Xiaowen in the center.
To dare steal the King of the Underworld's woman, this kid was undoubtedly an utter fool.
Lin Chen's gaze turned cold as he looked at the encroaching Ming Monarchs, his eyes filled with deep murderous intent.
His gaze turned to the King of the Underworld: "You insulted my brother, bullied my woman, and today, I'll use your life to seek justice for them."
Bang!
Lin Chen's words made everyone present dumbfounded.
This youngster actually wanted the King of the Underworld's life—was he insane?
The King of the Underworld nodded slightly: "You're that Lin Chen, huh? Fine, very fine. You're the first who dared seek my life, and you'll also be the one who dies the worst death. Kill him for me!"
With the King of the Underworld's furious roar, the Ming Monarchs charged at Lin Chen.
"Damn, this kid is too arrogant, even wanting the King of the Underworld's life."
"Cut him to pieces, and let his blood satiate the King."
"Right, all together now, let him see the consequences of disrespecting the King."
...
These Ming Monarchs were heartless demons, eager to please the King of the Underworld by rushing towards Lin Chen.
"Whish! Whish! Whish!"
The eyes of those Ming Monarchs shone with bloodlust as they swarmed at Lin Chen.
They knew the King of the Underworld was watching from behind; whoever could slay Lin Chen first would surely receive a hefty reward, perhaps even rise swiftly in rank.
"Go to hell, kid!"
A Ming Monarch wielded a ghostly blade, cleaving directly towards Lin Chen's head.
Behind him, another Ming Monarch wielded a ghostly spear, stabbing directly at Lin Chen's shoulder.
The other Ming Monarchs all brandished their weapons, intending to tear Lin Chen to pieces.
Their eyes filled with greed, thinking whoever killed Lin Chen would gain the King's favor.
Perhaps they might even have the chance to advance to Ming Emperor status in a single leap.
Zhao Xiaowen, behind Lin Chen, was pale.
Seeing this, she suddenly remembered this was The Peaceful Realms, ruled by the King of the Underworld.
Upon realizing this, Zhao Xiaowen's face turned grim.
However, as Lin Chen faced the approaching Martial Artists like rabid dogs, his eyes were filled with killing intent.
"Since you're seeking death, I'll oblige you."
With that, he lifted Zhao Xiaowen into his arm, gripped the Heaven Source Ancient Sword with the other, and charged into the crowd.
Crack, crack!
Every swing of the Heaven Source Ancient Sword caused a Ming Monarch to dissipate into thin air.
The Ming Monarchs before him continuously faded into nothingness.
Lin Chen seemed like a demon devouring souls, relentlessly obliterating one evil spirit after another.
Bang!
Those present were aghast at this spectacle; they had expected Lin Chen to be sliced to pieces instantly, but instead, they witnessed a massacre.
And those being slain were renowned, fearsome Ming Monarchs of The Peaceful Realms.
Each had been through countless battles, slain numerous specters, yet before Lin Chen, they were as helpless as fish on a chopping block, the scene utterly unbelievable.
In just a blink, most of the charging Ming Monarchs were dead or injured.
The others were already scared out of their wits, retreating like a tide.
This guy wasn't human; he was a devil.
However, as fast as they retreated, Lin Chen advanced even faster.
Quickly, not a single one of the attacking Ming Monarchs was left, all slain by Lin Chen.
The platform, bustling with people moments ago, was now desolate.
The entire Underworld Palace fell silent, only the clattering of Lin Chen's footsteps could be heard.
Many even rubbed their eyes, filled with disbelief.
It must be known, Lin Chen had just obliterated more than thirty Ming Monarchs in an instant.
How was this possible?
Watching those once formidable experts become dust in an instant was shockingly overwhelming.
Everyone shivered internally, looking at Lin Chen as if he was a devil.
The faces of the Soul-hooking Ming King, Blood Fiend Ming King, and Purgatory Ming King turned grim.
Lin Chen had almost wiped out all their elites.
These were elites they had painstakingly gathered over a hundred years, and yet this madman exterminated them in an instant.
This guy was vicious.
"We'll strike together, kill this bastard," Soul-hooking Ming King said to the Blood Fiend Ming King and Purgatory Ming King.
The three Ming Kings stood up slowly, approaching Lin Chen.
Seeing this, everyone froze—heavens, the three major Ming Kings were joining forces against this youngster.
Soul-hooking Ming King gazed coldly at Lin Chen, "Kid, you're too ruthless. Today we'll eliminate you together, you fiend."
Lin Chen snorted coldly, "If you want to fight, then fight. Say no more."
"All together, kill him!" Soul-hooking Ming King roared angrily to the other two.
Upon hearing the Soul-hooking Ming King's words, the Blood Fiend and Purgatory Ming Kings flashed like ravenous tigers, charging at Lin Chen.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Now, with the three Ming Emperors attacking simultaneously, the overwhelming momentum was terrifying.
Three black whirlwinds instantly engulfed Lin Chen, their icy killing intent causing one's soul to tremble.
This scene thoroughly shocked the Underworld Palace.
Three Ming Emperor experts, such a terrifying lineup, struck fear into the soul.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaowen turned pale, watching Lin Chen being besieged by the three, tears of regret streaming down her cheeks.
"It's all my fault, I harmed him."
