Chapter 342 - Dust to Dust, Earth to Earth (1/2)
As the twelve people of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon received the order, they instantly transformed into twelve shadows and rushed into the crowd. Wherever they passed, dead bodies lied, there was no one alive. They had no feelings. They only executed orders and would not have mercy for anyone.
In an instant, the entire manor of Ling Family filled with gloom. The twelve people were like Death. The moved so fast that the speed was beyond Xiao Chen’s imagination. Every courtyard, every room, wherever they passed, no one lived.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, Xiao Chen stood quietly in the wind, and his clothes flapped rapidly along with the wind. He closed his eyes and said, “Master, the murders that I have committed today, I will repent it another day…”
At this moment, the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon had entered the inner court. The outer courtyard was already empty. There were only corpses lying everywhere. Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a life force. He opened his eyes. It was a middle-aged man who carried a child, trying to slip past him.
The man saw Xiao Chen’s cold and ruthless eyes and was so terrified that he spoke incoherently. “I beg you, don’t kill me; I beg you, I am not a member of the Ling family…” The child finally cried too, “Daddy…”
The man rushed to cover the child’s mouth. Xiao Chen’s eyes were cold, he turned his head and closed his eyes again. It was as if the man got hold of the death-exemption plate and immediately ran outside.
The wind in the courtyard was getting bigger and bigger, as though it carried the sound of sorrow with it. On this day, the overlord of the Qing State, the Ling Family had turned into a river of blood and the corpses piled up like a mountain. At the same time, the name of Xiao Chen would once again spread around in the five continents. Of course, it would be a notorious one. The Immortals’ League would pursue him endlessly.
After a while, the twelve figures finally came back, and brought along two persons with them. Qingluan bowed and said, “My Lord, the task has been completed, and these two individuals will be handed over to Lord to take care of.”
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and saw twelve of them. They did not have a single drop of blood on their clothes. The two people they brought out were Ling Yuxuan and Ling Yingfeng who had been abolished by him. But now they looked fine.
Xiao Chen chuckled and said, “Ling Yuxuan, when you were pursuing me in the past, you must have never thought you’ll be in this state today huh?” Then he looked at Ling Yingfeng and said, “When you were in the Skygale Sect of the Human World in the past, forcing Huangfu Xin’er to give up her access to entering Violet Manor, and then tormenting Liu Fenghuang till she was as good as dead on the Wind Floating Platform. You didn’t think that you’ll have today too huh?”
Ling Yuxuan was already trembling in fear and was afraid to speak. Ling Yingfeng glared aggressively and yelled, “Xiao Chen! If you’re a man, just kill me now! If I’m not dead, it’ll be your death next time!” .
Xiao Chen said faintly, “Cut his arm off.”
As his voice fell, the cold light flashed, Ling Yingfeng’s left arm flew out and the blood splashed all over Ling Yuxuan’s face. Ling Yuxuan was so scared his legs could not stop trembling. He said in a quavering voice, “Xiao, Xiao Chen! I didn’t do anything to you in the end. Isn’t it enough that you have already wiped out my family…”
Although Ling Yingfeng had his arm chopped off, he did not even frown a single bit. He sneered and said, “Chop the other arm off!”
“As he wishes.”
A cold radiance flashed and the blood splashed again. At this moment, an old man’s voice came from afar, “Stop!” followed by four sword radiance which transformed into four white-haired elderlies.
Among the four, except for an old man in an ink-black robe, Xiao Chen recognized the other three. One of them was Ling Ruoxu, the headmaster of the Ling family, whose flesh body was destroyed by him in the Canglan City, but now he seems to have succeeded in reshaping his body. Another one was Ling Jingshan, the grandfather of Ling Yuxuan and Ling Yingfeng, he had pursued him to the Xianyong City but fled after using the Blood Yin Incantation.
The last one, Ling Yuanshan, Xiao Chen would never forget his face. These four seemed to be plotting something earlier, so they were a step too late.
Ling Jingshan looked at his eldest grandson, Ling Yingfeng, who had his arms chopped off. His eyes were filled with hatred. He swore that if he lived today, he would take Xiao Chen’s head. He said hatefully, “Xiao Chen! You have wiped out my entire Ling family today, from now on we’re even! Let my grandchildren go!”
It was as though Ling Yuxuan had held onto the last life-saving straw, he shouted, “Grandpa saved…” However, before he could finish, his head flew out and landed in Ling Jingshan’s hands.
