85: Chapter 85 The Enraged Lin Family Head

This scene happened far too suddenly!

The originally bustling and noisy street fell silent for a moment.

Everyone's eyes widened, staring fixedly at Lin Mobai's corpse and at Ji Taichang!

"Dead... he's dead!?"

"That was the Head of the Lin Family's most favored offspring! Has he gone mad!"

"Daring to kill the eldest Young Master of the Lin family—is he planning to fight the Lin family to the death?"

"It's over, it's all over. With such a blood feud, they will surely face the Lin family's frantic retaliation!"

"This is a good thing! Lin Mobai wasn't anything good anyway. Over the years, relying on the Lin family's backing, he did plenty of burning, killing, and looting. And that group of fair-weather friends of his—every single one of them was rotten to the core..."

"Shh!! Stop blabbering, that Lin family guard is still right there..."

After a moment of silence, the place erupted like a boiling pot; the surrounding crowd was in an uproar, buzzing with discussion!

Some were amazed by Ji Taichang's strength and courage, while others clapped and cheered!

"Beautifully done!"

Yang Yao cheered, finding it extremely satisfying!

Lin Xueyue was her best friend and sister-in-law. Since Lin Mobai dared to harass and insult Lin Xueyue, he deserved to die!

"Xiao Chang..."

Lin Xueyue's delicate body stiffened. She felt as if her soft heart had been struck by something, and a warm current surged through her whole body!

To vent her anger, Ji Taichang did not hesitate to offend the Lin family and executed Lin Mobai and the others!

The promise Ji Taichang had made her back then wasn't just empty words!

Lin Xueyue stared blankly at the tall, straight figure shielding her. Her heart was incredibly moved, and her gaze was as soft as water.

She truly hadn't followed the wrong man!

"You... you dare kill the Eldest Young Master!!?"

The Black-Armored Guard stood frozen on the spot. Looking at Lin Mobai's headless corpse, his body trembled slightly as he felt a surge of rage erupt from his chest!

He immediately crushed an emergency secret order, and then his cold eyes stared fixedly at Ji Taichang!

Swish!

The Black-Armored Guard's figure flashed, leaving only an afterimage behind as his true self, holding a scimitar, charged in front of Ji Taichang!

Then, he was grabbed by the neck by Ji Taichang and lifted off the ground like a duck.

Under the suppression of Ji Taichang's terrifying strength, although the Black-Armored Guard's cultivation was as high as the Half-step Nascent Soul Stage, his body still couldn't stop trembling, and his spiritual Qi seemed frozen, unable to be mobilized at all!

"Wh-what!?"

"That Uncle Chen is a death soldier of the Lin family with a Half-step Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, yet he was captured without any power to resist?"

"He's a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!!"

The surrounding onlookers were shocked once again, subconsciously backing away to distance themselves from Ji Taichang.

"Husband (Xiao Chang) has already reached the Nascent Soul Stage?"

"When did this happen??"

Even Yang Yao and Lin Xueyue were stunned. Their rosy lips parted slightly as they stared blankly at Ji Taichang, feeling both shocked and delighted!

Whoosh—

Just then, the sounds of air being pierced rang out, accompanied by the metallic clatter of clashing armor and sharp streaks of Killing Intent approaching from the distance!

"Violence is strictly prohibited within the Royal Capital!"

"Put down your weapons immediately, or you will be executed without exception!"

A majestic, stern shout rang out like rolling thunder, shaking all directions.

Those were two squads of fully armed Royal Capital Guards responsible for guarding the capital. When they sensed people fighting, they rushed over immediately.

However.

When they arrived at the scene, their bodies all stiffened, and their pupils contracted sharply!

The eldest Young Master of the Lin family was dead.

The Half-step Nascent Soul Stage Lin family death soldier was being held in someone's hand like a dead dog, completely powerless to resist.

A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!!

A single thought simultaneously surfaced in the minds of the Royal Capital Guards!

But even facing a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, the leading captain of the Royal Capital Guards remained neither humble nor arrogant, saying in a heavy voice, "No matter what grievances Senior has with the Lin family, committing murder in the street has already violated the laws of the Great Wu Dynasty! According to the law..."

Rumble—

Before he could finish his sentence, a dull, thunderous sound echoed in the sky, accompanied by the release of a terrifying Nascent Soul Stage pressure that swept through heaven and earth like a hurricane!

This startling aura attracted the gazes of many Cultivators in the Royal Capital!

It was a middle-aged man wearing gold-patterned brocade clothes, carrying the majesty of someone long in a high position, rapidly stepping through the air.

When he saw Lin Mobai's headless corpse, his pupils shrank violently, and he couldn't help but let out a roar of grief!

"No—Mobai!!"

"My son!!"

Lin Changxuan's eyes nearly split with rage, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his body couldn't stop trembling!!

That terrifying Nascent Soul Stage pressure continued to spread, shaking heaven and earth, making the Souls of the many onlookers shudder and their legs tremble!

In an instant.

They all scurried far away, fearing they would be swatted to death by a random slap from the enraged Nascent Soul Stage expert.

"You actually dared to kill my son!"

"What audacity!!"

Lin Changxuan turned around, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Ji Taichang, his fearsome Killing Intent almost becoming tangible!

"So what if I killed him?"

"Old geezer, keep blabbering and I'll kill you too, sending both father and son to the afterlife together!"

Ji Taichang grinned at him, revealing snowy white teeth.

And then.

His palm exerted a slight force, and right in front of Lin Changxuan, he snapped the neck of the Black-Armored Guard in his hand with a 'crack,' throwing him toward Lin Changxuan like he was tossing trash.

This was blatant provocation and insult!!

Bang!

The pressure on Lin Changxuan's body surged, shaking the Black-Armored Guard's corpse into a bloody mist. His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at Ji Taichang as he said word by word, "By offending my Lin family, you are dead!!"

"Even the King of Heaven himself cannot protect you—I said so!"

Ji Taichang shook his head, a sneer on his face. "Tsk tsk tsk... he was a death soldier of your Lin family after all, yet you didn't even leave him a whole corpse. Such ruthless methods are truly comparable to a Devil Head!"

Lin Changxuan's tone was extremely cold. "A useless cur who couldn't protect his master—not only must he die, I want nine generations of his family buried with him!"

"But before that... the one who should die is you!"

Lin Changxuan opened his hand, and a green spear appeared. Accompanied by the terrifying pressure of the third level of the Nascent Soul Stage, it swept toward Ji Taichang!

As for the two women behind Ji Taichang, Lin Changxuan didn't spare them a single glance from beginning to end; his only target was Ji Taichang!

"Violence is prohibited within the Royal Capital!"

"Head of the Lin Family, Fellow Daoist, no matter what grievances you have, you cannot fight in the Royal Capital."

"If you want to fight, get out of the Royal Capital and then do it!"

Just then, a cold and indifferent voice descended from the sky!

A Nascent Soul Stage pressure far more terrifying than Lin Changxuan's spread out, simultaneously locking onto both Ji Taichang and Lin Changxuan!

It was a burly man clad in golden armor, his entire body shrouded within the suit. He held a Fangtian Painted Halberd, his Battle Intent surging like a battle-hardened god of war descending!

The Commander of the Royal Capital Guards, Cheng Honghai!!

As Cheng Honghai appeared, rows of fully armed Royal Capital Guards also appeared in the surroundings, arranging themselves into a Battle Formation to seal off the area.
