257: Chapter 256 Revisiting the Southern Heavenly Gate, Welcoming the Grand Marshal!

The Nine Heavens, South Heaven Gate.

As the first gateway to the core area of the Celestial Court, it had always been a symbol of majesty and order. However, today, the atmosphere here was exceptionally bizarre.

Just a few days had passed, and it was once again welcoming that familiar, nightmarish golden chariot.

But this time, the guards' mental states had completely collapsed.

The Golden-Armored Spirit Official who once demanded a toll from Lin Feng, only to be kicked into the dog hole, reportedly left a resignation letter written in blood that very night and ran away overnight with his bedding. Some said he became a Land Deity in an unknown ravine in the Lower Realm and swore a toxic oath: even if he starved to death, even if he jumped off a mountain, he would never return to the Celestial Court for the rest of his life!

One can see just how much psychological trauma Lin Feng left him with.

Now, the one responsible for guarding the South Heaven Gate was a Divine General temporarily transferred from another department, named the Giant Spirit God (Substitute).

This muscular man, who stood three zhang tall with knotted muscles, was currently leading three thousand Celestial Soldiers and Generals, standing in neat Formation outside the South Heaven Gate.

Logically speaking, this was a Formation used to resist an enemy.

But if one looked closely, they would see that these Celestial Soldiers were all lowering their heads, holding their breath, their eyes darting around, and even the long spears they held were trembling slightly, emitting faint sounds of metal clashing.

They had all heard.

That star of calamity... was back!

And this time, he was even more ruthless! Even fiercer!

A few days ago, he only kicked a guard here. But just a moment ago, above the Heavenly River, he alone with one blade slaughtered one hundred thousand naval forces, hacked the Marshal Tianpeng to death, snatched the Sea-Stabilizing Needle, and even fought a long-distance battle that made the Seven Luminaries Immortal King suffer a huge loss!

Was this really an ascender from the Lower Realm? He was simply a Devil King who came specifically to dismantle the Celestial Court!

"Boss... are we going to stop him later?" a small soldier asked, trembling.

"Stop him?" The Giant Spirit God widened his bull-like eyes and cursed in a low voice, "Do you have a death wish? Marshal Tianpeng was a Golden Immortal of Great Perfection, and he was sliced into sashimi! My physique isn't enough to be minced into dumpling filling for him!"

"Then... what should we do?"

"Wing it! Remember, your attitude must be good! Your smile must be sincere!"

Just then—

"Rumble—!!!"

The sea of clouds in the distance suddenly boiled, and a golden stream of light cut through the firmament, bringing with it an unrivaled pressure and a roaring sound, crashing down!

That huge golden chariot, pulled by the phantom shadows of nine Dragons, crushed the Void Realm and stopped in front of the South Heaven Gate.

On the front of the chariot, that huge flag fluttered in the wind, with a large character written crookedly on it— "Demolish"!

Although the handwriting was ugly, it was full of Killing Intent, snapping loudly in the wind, looking exceptionally eye-catching.

Lin Feng stood at the front of the chariot, his black robe slightly damaged, but that sharp Aura was even better than before.

He held the [chaos asura blade] that emitted the Aura of Chaos, the tip of the blade even dripping with non-existent blood. His eyes were indifferent, like a king inspecting his territory, coldly scanning the Celestial Soldiers and Generals below.

"Yo, changed shifts?"

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow, a smirk curling on his lips, "Where is that brother who crawled through the dog hole before? Why is he gone?"

His gaze fell on the Giant Spirit God, and the long blade in his hand casually performed a flourish, emitting a soft "hum" sound.

"Do you still want to collect a toll this time? Do you still want me to crawl through the dog hole?"

"Or rather... were you also sent here by that old bald Seven Luminaries to die?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place was deathly silent.

The Giant Spirit God (Substitute) looked at the legendary demon blade that had killed Marshal Tianpeng, feeling his throat go dry and his legs go soft. He was a tough guy, but in the face of absolute death, even a tough guy had to submit.

"Thump!!!"

Without any hesitation, and without any foreplay.

This Giant Spirit God, who stood three zhang tall, pushed the golden mountain and toppled the jade pillar, kneeling heavily on one knee!

His huge knees even smashed a pit into the white jade floor of the South Heaven Gate, with cracks spreading out!

"Subordinate... this subordinate dares not!!!"

He used all his strength, his voice trembling but incomparably loud as he roared:

"Respectfully welcome the Grand Marshal of Demon Suppression of the Nine Heavens back to court!!!"

He had made up this title on the spot; anyway, shouting something that sounded good was definitely correct!

Hearing that the main general had knelt, how could the three thousand Celestial Soldiers behind him dare to stand?

Swish!

Like cutting wheat, three thousand people knelt down in unison, weapons dropped all over the ground, their movements uniform, as if they had rehearsed it countless times.

"Respectfully welcome the Grand Marshal!!!"

The deafening roar resounded through the sky, and even the plaque of the South Heaven Gate was shaken, shedding a layer of dust.

They were afraid!

Truly afraid!

This master still had his Killing Intent unscattered; who would dare to touch bad luck?

Lin Feng looked at these Celestial Soldiers who were kneeling to welcome him, not even daring to raise their heads, and his hand, which had been ready to start a massacre, paused slightly.

"Uh..."

He curled his lips with some boredom, withdrawing the Saber Qi that was ready to go.

"Really boring, I thought I could grind some more critical hit points. You guys are too cooperative, making me feel embarrassed to make a move."

Hearing this, the Giant Spirit God kneeling on the ground had cold sweat pouring down, secretly rejoicing in his heart: Damn, I bet right! As long as I kneel fast enough, the blade can't catch up to me!

Lin Feng put away his blade and patted the head of Huang Fugui.

"Alright, stop kneeling, it's dizzying to look at."

"Let's go, enter the city."

"Let's go see our... 'turned bald' old friend."

"Sit tight!"

"Boom!"

The golden chariot started roaring again, carrying an unparalleled domineering Aura, directly crushing through the main road in the center of the South Heaven Gate, as if entering an uninhabited land.

The Celestial Soldiers on both sides trembled, and only after the chariot disappeared at the end of their sight and the exhaust had dissipated, did they dare to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads and collapse on the ground.

"Mommy... this god of slaughter is finally inside..."

"This Nine Heavens... is afraid it's going to change its sky..."

"Do you think the Seven Luminaries Immortal King can hold up this time?"

"Hold up my ass! Didn't you hear the Grand Marshal? The Immortal King has even turned bald! I think it's hanging!"

On the chariot.

Lin Feng opened the System panel, looking at the dizzying number on it, and the smile on his lips grew thicker.

[Host: Lin Feng]

[Realm: Golden Immortal Great Perfection (Half-step Daluo)]

[Current critical hit points balance: 26,500 billion] (Including gains from slaying Tianpeng and the hundred thousand naval forces, and destroying the Formation)

This was a huge sum of money that could drive anyone crazy!

With this money, he could even directly redeem Daluo-level insights in the mall, or strengthen the [chaos asura blade] in his hand by another level!

"Seven Luminaries, Daddy has come to demolish your house!"

"I hope there are some valuable things in your treasury that can slightly appease my anger."

Lin Feng looked into the distance at the looming magnificent palace, his eyes flashing with greed and Killing Intent.

The real revenge, it has only just begun!
