The cinders of Zhi Huo, dead.

Not peacefully at all.

Before his death, he even wanted to unleash the fire dragon once more…

To incinerate the entire Tianyue City!

But unfortunately, Lin Chen did not give him the chance.

At this moment, Lin Chen was also in a state of critical health.

More importantly, his mana was empty.

Potions!

Lin Chen did not let his guard down just because the God-Slaying Strike had ended Zhi Huo.

Zhi Huo was undoubtedly a powerful figure.

However, he encountered Lin Chen.

Lin Chen possessed both strength and luck.

His strength came from selling off his assets and investing all his funds before the game's invasion, in exchange for resources.

It was these resources that allowed him to possess a city of his own.

And the God-Slaying Formation.

As well as the gold coins and soul crystals for trading equipment, and so on.

His luck was that Lin Chen obtained the sword heart of the Primordial Sword Spirit.

The ultimate move, Myriad Swords Return to Emptiness, was obtained after the sword heart sublimated the secrets of heaven.

It can be said that, to this day, Lin Chen has invested a lot of resources in his equipment, including his pets.

Hundreds of billions of gold coins!

He even spent more than a dozen dazzling soul crystals.

To put it another way, the ordinary soul crystals would have cost billions.

With so many resources, although he could not compare with those marquis families, it was more than enough to match the assets of an entire viscount family.

Huge investment leads to such returns!

To put it more directly…

In the end, Lin Chen's strike that killed Zhi Huo consumed about 150 energy points of the God-Slaying Formation, and these energy points were worth a whole set of level nine formation special materials, such as magic holy stones and essence of Geng metal.

Eight in total.

The value of each, according to the current market price given by Winter, is between five and six million.

Calculated, that's fifty million gold coins!

How about understanding the weight of a fifty million gold coin strike?

In fact, from the beginning of the game server shutdown and invasion of reality until now, Lin Chen has been consuming the resources he accumulated before the game server shutdown, in addition to the God-Slaying Formation worth fifty million gold coins, there is also the equipment on Lin Chen…

Worth nearly fifty billion gold coins.

Even tens of thousands of ordinary soul crystals would have to be added.

Such expensive equipment, plus three powerful pets, supported Lin Chen's current attributes, and there was also a priceless Primordial Celestial Pole, a Primordial Divine Artifact!

Calculating, how much was Lin Chen's Myriad Swords Return to Emptiness that cut off Zhi Huo's left arm worth?

Lin Chen's current strength was bought with resources and money.

Of course, there was also his talent.

Skywalker!

Free Skywalker.

Can be unrestrained.

This unrestrained is not only in terms of personal freedom, but also in terms of equipment selection.

This is how Lin Chen has such terrifying dual attack power now…

However, Lin Chen also spent money to get the Skywalker profession.

It can only be said that Lin Chen should be grateful for his rebirth.

Grateful for the chance to start over!

And how could Lin Chen let his life be unhappy again this time?

Lin Chen grabbed Zhi Huo's soul.

"Lin Chen, let me go, let the entire Huo family go! From now on, all the resources of the Huo family, including all manpower, will follow the orders of your Tianyue City… Let me go, Lin Chen!"

Zhi Huo was already dead.

But his soul was still there.

In "New World," the soul and spirit are not the same concept.

The so-called death of a person means the dissipation of the soul, but because of the existence of soul cultivation, the soul will not dissipate when it reaches a certain realm, and it can even speak and communicate like now.

Moreover, as long as the soul is not dead, it can be reshaped with the help of others in the future… It seems that only those who have reached the realm of gods can help others restore their bodies.

After the soul is devoured, it cannot be considered completely dead.

Spirit, spirit, without the soul, there is still the spirit.

And this spirit is the undead.

When the undead are also devoured, then it is really, in the entire universe, there is no such person as you.

Now Zhi Huo just wants to find a way out.

He is even willing to submit to Lin Chen.

Lead the entire Huo family to join Tianyue City!

Logically speaking, this should be a considerable gain.

If Lin Chen agrees, it would be worthwhile.

All the assets of the Huo family, including the mines… No matter what, it is worth a lot of money.

But does Lin Chen lack money?

It can be said that Lin Chen does not lack money.

Of course, the more money, the better.

But Lin Chen mainly doesn't want to be disgusted.

What if the Huo family rises again in the future?

Why would Lin Chen accept the allegiance of someone who has repeatedly opposed him?

"Sorry, I have no reason to let you go."

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he was about to devour his soul.

Peak of Second Revolution…

Zhi Huo can be said to be a quasi-Divine Envoy realm, a quasi-Third Revolution expert.

His soul must be greatly replenished!

Lin Chen obtained a massive amount of experience points just by killing Zhi Huo… a full forty billion!

This increased his attributes by about 20%.

Now Lin Chen is still a distance away from the peak of the First Revolution, but it is also fast.

Only 80% of the experience points are left.

About 15 billion experience points.

Lin Chen estimates that he will be able to cultivate his soul to the later stage at the latest in the middle of the Second Revolution.

When he reaches the peak of the Second Revolution, soul cultivation can advance side by side.

However, Lin Chen must take Zhi Huo's soul cultivation experience points!

But at this time, a voice came from the sky.

"Lin Chen, let him go!"

Jin Qiang finally appeared.

Lin Chen looked up, his gaze piercing through the sky, directly at Jin Qiang, and asked, "Why? Provincial Governor Jin, I am fighting desperately with the eight major families, isn't that what you want to see? Now that I have devoured Zhi Huo's soul, I have completely become mortal enemies with these nobles. I think Provincial Governor Jin should support me."

"Lin Chen, don't go crazy!"

Jin Qiang's voice was muffled: "Zhi Huo is the Marquis of Blazing Flames, his ancestor was a founding hero of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, and made immortal contributions to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom. Since the founding of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, from the Holy Ancestor to the present, there has never been a precedent for the Three Dukes and Thirteen Marquises to be killed by the people of the country, or even have their souls devoured…"

"Oh."

Lin Chen nodded, but the next moment, his fangs were fully revealed: "But what does this have to do with me? Provincial Governor Jin, don't deny it… You, and them, those nobles, in all of your eyes, do you really consider me Lin Chen, including everyone in Tianyue City… Have you ever regarded us as people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom?"

"That's right!"

"The city lord is right!"

"Our Tianyue City never provokes trouble, but you Dragon Spirit people have repeatedly attacked us!"

"What Marquis of Blazing Flames your ancestors conferred has nothing to do with us!"

"…"

Lin Chen's words naturally easily resonated with all the people of Blue Star.

After all, everyone has personally experienced it.

First of all, from the beginning of the game invasion, the casualties on the entire Blue Star can be described as extremely tragic…

Too numerous to record!

Later, everyone finally managed to escape to Tianyue City.

Now, among the Blue Star aborigines here, who has not lost a relative?

Who doesn't have parents, relatives, or friends buried in the mouths of those monsters?

If all of this was done by monsters.

Then…

After everyone came to Tianyue City, they honestly stayed within the territory of Tianyue City, without provoking anyone. Why is it that everyone cannot have peace when going out of the city to level up?

Why does the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, while claiming to recognize the identity of the residents of Tianyue City as citizens of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, come to attack us?

Since you have not truly regarded the residents of Tianyue City as people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom, then…

Why should they abide by the canonization of your Dragon Spirit Kingdom's Holy Ancestor and let Zhi Huo go?

At this time, Lin Chen's wings were beginning to take shape,

Although he could have remained low-key.

But…

Lin Chen didn't want to be humiliated anymore.

Anyway, he has Tianyue City.

He can fight the peak of the Second Revolution.

He also has the God-Slaying Formation!

In the God-Slaying Formation, even a Third Revolution Divine Envoy, Lin Chen is confident that he can fight!

Then why should he be low-key?

Why should he continue to be bullied by the people of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom?

The residents of Tianyue City have never been outside, have not seen the suffering that Ice and Snow City experienced in the Ice Spirit Kingdom, they can be so united against the enemy, let alone Lin Chen.

Lin Chen knows that the people of Blue Star have almost no status in this new era.

Tianyue City is considered good.

After all, it is in the human race's country.

Think about Ice and Snow City!

In the beginning, they were bullied by the Ice Spirit Kingdom in various ways.

In the eyes of those elves, it is estimated that the people in Ice and Snow City are not people at all…

But rather, soul energy being raised in captivity!

However, the Ice Spirit Kingdom is an elf race.

The Dragon Spirit Kingdom is a human race!

Even the human race cannot tolerate the people of Blue Star…

Then, why should the people of Blue Star continue to swallow their anger?

"Lin Chen, you have to think it over!"

Jin Qiang said in a deep voice: "If you really devour Zhi Huo, then you are harming the country's meritorious officials, you are a traitor! At that time, this provincial governor will definitely lead the Jin family army, together with the five major families, to besiege your Tianyue City!"

Jin Qiang is worthy of being an old fox.

He has fought on the imperial battlefield.

What kind of scene hasn't he seen?

Lin Chen is stirring up hatred.

He made it clear that Jin Qiang was using Tianyue City and Lin Chen as guns to deal with the eight marquis families…

However, Jin Qiang didn't take Lin Chen's bait at all.

Jin Qiang directly stated the result.

He would not allow Lin Chen to devour Zhi Huo's soul.

Jin Qiang must be feeling like he shot himself in the foot…

He felt like he was raising Gu. (Gu is a venomous insect raised via artificial means)

Moreover, he failed to raise it.

Lin Chen is this Gu, and it is the kind that bites back.

If Lin Chen is allowed to devour Zhi Huo's soul, firstly, Jin Qiang will not be able to explain to the council and the king. If Lin Chen's strength increases again, it is estimated that even he, Jin Qiang, will not be able to suppress him!

Therefore, Jin Qiang absolutely does not allow this to happen.

"Then I, Lin Chen, will see today who dares to attack Tianyue City again!"

Since Lin Chen is tough, how could he be threatened by Jin Qiang? He snorted coldly, and without hesitation, devoured Zhi Huo's soul. With Zhi Huo's scream, the Three Dukes and Thirteen Marquises of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom became the Three Dukes and Twelve Marquises from then on!

Zhi Huo…

Completely turned to ashes.

And Lin Chen felt that it was not enough!

When Zhi Huo's undead comes out at night, he will also let Yang Yourong have a feast!

At that time, Yang Yourong will likely advance to the Ghost Emperor!

At that time, Yang Yourong will give birth to a certain amount of intelligence.

She might even be able to speak.

The key is that her strength can also fight against the Divine Envoy realm!

However, strength is one thing.

Real combat is another matter…

The setting of "New World" is that the undead and all ghosts are transformed from people's obsessions. In fact, ghosts are afraid of living people. This setting is not completely unfounded.

Everyone thinks that people are afraid of ghosts.

But in fact, in many mythological stories at the beginning, or in folk legends, ghosts are afraid of people.

For example, in some ancient folk legends in the Eastern country where Lin Chen is located, it is like this.

Ghosts have heavy Yin energy.

They are most afraid of crowded places.

Because people have heavy Yang energy.

Yin and Yang counteract each other.

Therefore, in this setting, even if Yang Yourong advances to the Ghost Emperor, she can only do some sneak attacks when facing a Divine Envoy realm powerhouse. If she fights head-on, unless the opponent's soul power is not enough and is crushed by Yang Yourong's powerful obsession, otherwise Yang Yourong can be said to have no chance at all.

However, Yang Yourong's obsession is still quite strong.

Otherwise, Lin Chen would not have been cultivating her all along.

Cutting grass must remove the roots.

At this time, Lin Chen looked at the sky.

"Today, I, Lin Chen, killed Zhi Huo!"

"The murderer is Lin Chen!"

"I am standing here."

"Whoever wants to kill me, come!"

Lin Chen said: "I want to see who dares to come down and fight me!"

Domineering!

At this time, Lin Chen's health has been restored to full.

It's just that his mana recovery is relatively slow.

Fortunately, Liu Mengyao is there.

She has been waiting for the skill cooldown.

As soon as the skill is ready, she will add health and mana to Lin Chen.

With another skill, Lin Chen's mana will be full.

It turns out that the psionic not only can supplement the pastor's shortcomings in output, but also has such a powerful recovery and healing ability. It can be said without exaggeration that Liu Mengyao is simply a mobile spring for Lin Chen…

Recovery is extremely fast!

If it is in Tianyue City, with Liu Mengyao's so powerful recovery, plus the God-Slaying Formation's suppression of the opponent and the increase in Lin Chen's strength, Lin Chen is really not afraid of anyone.

However, Jin Qiang and the others obviously don't know this.

Moreover, before, Jin Qiang also made a statement…

He would not allow Lin Chen to cut off Zhi Huo's path to survival.

Now, Lin Chen did not listen to him.

Zhi Huo's soul has been devoured.

So what to do next?

Everyone's eyes fell on Jin Qiang, and those nobles also suddenly spoke.

"Provincial Governor Jin, are you still going to remain indifferent?"

"Humph! This is the person that Provincial Governor Jin, you personally promoted!"

"Driving away wolves to swallow tigers… Hehe, I know that in your heart, Provincial Governor Jin, you have always regarded us families who have made contributions to the Dragon Spirit Kingdom as wolves… It doesn't matter, wolves are wolves! But now, the tiger you raised is going to bite you in return. He even dares to kill the descendants of the founding heroes. I really dare not imagine, if such a person grows up, will he even destroy our Dragon Spirit Kingdom?"

"Provincial Governor Jin, if you don't take action, could it be that… you completely don't take us people who have made contributions to the country seriously? Well, today's matter can be presented to the council and His Majesty the King. Let's see if Provincial Governor Jin, you can get away unscathed in the end!"

"…"

The words of several families made Jin Qiang's face even more ugly.

He knew that if he didn't do something today…

In the future, with the methods of these dignitaries, I am afraid that not only himself.

Even the entire Jin family army, including the Jin family, will suffer their involvement and revenge!

And the person who caused all this is Lin Chen!

It's been 300,000 words.

Currently, on Qidian, this book is already a member of the premium channel.

This achievement, in the entire twenty years of Qidian, has only been achieved by 6,200 books…

How should I put it?

It's considered very good.

But I know that I can achieve this result not because I write so well, on the contrary… I don't write well enough!

Because, according to the resources given by the website, I should achieve better results!

Therefore, I will work hard.

Today I will strive for four updates!

For the premium quality, and for your support, here's an extra update.

Thank you all!
