Chapter 2209 - 2198: Beast Emperor Taoyu Slash

"Let me tell you! White Sky Venerable foresaw your betrayal and sent me, your Lord, ahead of time to this Human Sacrifice Tower with the sole purpose of catching you and eliminating the two traitors within the clan!"

Xiluo’s tone suddenly carried a hint of pity: "However, White Sky Venerable is magnanimous and instructed me that if you two are willing to repent, this event will be forgiven! But Ziyue, you cannot escape your fate of sacrifice!"

Saying this, Xiluo turned around and sneered at Lin Zifeng: "So, how about it, dog slave? I won’t defy White Sky Venerable’s words. If you kneel before me and kowtow three times, then slap your master ten times, I’ll spare your dog life!"

"Cough, cough..."

Lin Zifeng held back his laughter, coughed lightly to avoid bursting into laughter. What did Xiluo see in him that he still thought he was Dongfang Ziyue’s servant at this point!

Funny as it was, Lin Zifeng’s eyes turned serious as he focused on Xiluo in front of him, his lips curving slightly in lament: "Ah... Xiluo, your scheming isn’t entirely foolish, it’s just that you trust your own strength too much!"

"Do you really think... I’m Dongfang Ziyue’s slave? Idiot!"

Lin Zifeng’s words laid bare the truth. With the mysteries unveiled, Xiluo no longer had any reason to live.

For his insults, and having come here intending to take my life! New grudges and old scores, today I, Lin Zifeng, will settle them with you properly!

With this thought, a chilling killing intent rose in Lin Zifeng’s eyes. Seeing this, Xiluo’s mocking expression suddenly froze, replaced by surprise and confusion.

This guy... When did he dare speak to me like this? Even if you’re not Dongfang Ziyue’s slave, you should still show respect when facing me, the Four-Fold Lord!

In the presence of his subordinates, being humiliated by Lin Zifeng, Xiluo internally sentenced Lin Zifeng to death, his face immediately turning grim as he said, "Since you don’t cherish the opportunity given by White Sky Venerable, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"Pathetic! I’m not part of the Beiyao Ancient Clan, why should I heed your Venerable’s words? Did you become the Four-Fold Lord by flattering White Sky Venerable with all that servility, you absolute waste!"

Knowing these people wouldn’t leave the Human Sacrifice Tower alive, Lin Zifeng expressed his disdain for Beiyao Ancient Clan without worry, pondering how best to deal with Xiluo to quench his anger.

But Lin Zifeng had unwittingly revealed Xiluo’s weakness with his mocking words, prompting Xiluo to snort and command his followers, "Kill this dog slave! As for Dongfang Ziyue, the Venerable’s orders are to keep her alive just in case, cripple her meridians!"

With the order given, Xiluo’s followers drew their weapons, multicolored lights flickering around them.

Lin Zifeng noticed and his smirk deepened. Some of these fellows could rival Dongfang Ziyue, but they were just ants in his eyes.

"Ruoyun passed on a battle skill to me, including a swordsmanship set, you all can help me practice it."

With this thought, Lin Zifeng’s grin widened as he asked Dongfang Ziyue beside him, "Dongfang Ziyue, may I borrow your Green Phoenix Sword?"

Though he asked, Lin Zifeng had no intention of seeking Ziyue’s approval. He knew well Ziyue cherished the Green Phoenix Sword, and would consider it sullied if used to kill these people!

His right hand trembled, and Lin Zifeng snatched the Green Phoenix Sword, lifting his head to see Xiluo retreating behind his followers. He seized the moment to taunt loudly, "Xiluo, you’re useless! I’m right in front of you, if you want to kill me, come take my life, why send your men to die, coward!"

Xiluo outside the fray heard the taunt, his hands clenched as veins bulged, about to advance before recalling his encounter in the Book Pavilion.

Xiluo hadn’t fully discerned Lin Zifeng’s realm, deciding caution was wise, countering, "To kill someone like you, a pig or dog, should I personally act? When you’re kneeling and begging for mercy, you’ll know what regret is!"

Lin Zifeng intended further ridicule, seeing the weapon-wielding crowd advancing, his eyes narrowed, and the Green Phoenix Sword gleamed with golden light.

The Sub-Saint Realm speed, full of flaws to Lin Zifeng, he shook his head and raised the Green Phoenix Sword slowly, saying word by word, "You all are lucky to die under a battle skill created by the Beast God!"

"Beast Emperor Taoyu Slash!"

Before his voice faded completely, Lin Zifeng was enveloped in golden light, even Dongfang Ziyue beside him recoiled in shock from his formidable aura.

Standing behind Lin Zifeng, Dongfang Ziyue’s face brimmed with astonishment, her lips slightly parted as she whispered, "This guy... When did he become so powerful?"

Lin Zifeng’s attackers saw the fearsome might contained in the Green Phoenix Sword, intimidated, but Xiluo’s command compelled obedience, igniting resolve within them.

Observing this, Lin Zifeng sneered, "Puny ants, truly pathetic, don’t they know they’re futilely attempting the impossible?"

Saying this, Lin Zifeng’s last strand of pity vanished, replaced by chilling indifference akin to eternal ice!

"Swish!"

Lin Zifeng’s right hand trembled, sending dozens of golden Qi arcs from the dazzling Green Phoenix Sword, each carrying immense power!

"Roar..."

Whether illusion or not, Xiluo felt primitive beast roars as Lin Zifeng slashed, echoing by his ears!

"Puff, puff, puff..."

Fast and sharp, the golden Qi arcs cut through, the crowd perceiving fleeting golden light, deadly intent closing in.

Without time to dodge, the Qi arcs formed an invisible web, sealing escape completely!

"Ah..."

The air, silent moments ago, was filled with the stench of blood as the leading man’s chest met the Qi arc.

In a mere breath, those who sought to kill Lin Zifeng found their bodies bled from chest and waist, eyes full of disbelief, their lives fading as they collapsed, gazing at Lin Zifeng with dying eyes, losing their light.

Perhaps they never understood even in death why a man subdued by their Lord just moments ago could strike down twenty with just one attack!

Seeing Xiluo’s stunned face, Lin Zifeng was about to wipe the sword clean when Mu Ruoyun’s voice scolded in his mind, "Hmph, the Beast Emperor’s battle skill wasn’t given for killing mere chickens and dogs!"
