Chapter 833: Playing a Game

Life should be enjoyed to the fullest; do not let the golden goblet face the moon in vain.

The robes grow looser, yet I have no regrets; for you, I am willing to grow haggard.

Kuai Yan and Zhen Youqian witnessed true paradise for the first time.

Watching the two of them intoxicated and unable to restrain themselves, Ban Muming curled his lip.

These were nothing more than tricks he had grown tired of; people outside the Human Emperor Banner really had seen nothing of the world.

At this moment, Ban Muming also noticed Liu Ruyan to the side and hurriedly asked.

"My friend, shall I find a few handsome men for you? Do you prefer the masculine type or the more delicate one?"

There are countless men and women in the Human Emperor Banner; where there are beauties, there are naturally handsome men.

"I have no need for that, thank you."

Liu Ruyan turned away calmly; her temperament was clearly much more composed than that of Kuai Yan and Zhen Youqian, otherwise, she would not have been able to lurk in the mining area for so long.

"Very well, then if you need anything, just give me your orders; please do not stand on ceremony with me."

Ban Muming revealed a fawning smile and slowly retreated.

Compared to the glamorous scenes inside the Human Emperor Banner, the scene outside the Human Emperor Banner appeared somewhat horrifying.

In the eyes of Granny Kuanglong and the others, Ye Lin had personally killed the three of Kuai Yan and even harvested their souls, ensuring they would never be reincarnated!

Among them, Granny Kuanglong’s perception was the clearest; she had lost control over the three of Kuai Yan, which meant that the three of them were truly dead!

"Do you not feel even a shred of sadness or guilt? You are the one who killed them!"

Granny Kuanglong shrieked, her only remaining eye staring fixedly at Ye Lin.

She wanted to see an emotional fluctuation on Ye Lin’s face, but no matter how she looked, she could only see his face, which was as calm as an ancient, waveless well.

The three of Kuai Yan must have been important to Ye Lin.

Otherwise, Ye Lin could not have gone to such great lengths to save them, even going so far as to take action against Granny Kuanglong and completely offend the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate.

Yet, for these three people, after knowing that the situation was hopeless, Ye Lin was actually able to kill them all without a change in expression; this was truly terrifying.

Does this fellow before me not possess the feelings and emotions that a human should have?

Granny Kuanglong felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, her entire body chilled to the bone.

It was hard for her to imagine what kind of existence she had provoked.

"I have killed many people; three more makes no difference, and besides, it will be your turn soon."

Ye Lin turned his head to look at Granny Kuanglong, revealing a row of stark white teeth.

Granny Kuanglong’s psychological defenses were completely shattered; as an expert of the Law Comprehension Realm, upon seeing Ye Lin’s smile, she acted like an elderly, frail woman, using her hands and feet to try and crawl away.

But before she could run more than a few steps, four strands of affection pierced through her limbs, pinning her in place.

Xue Bingxiao withdrew her hands without expression, though a hint of wariness and terror emerged in the depths of her eyes.

Originally, she had been wondering if she could use the method used against Yao Geng to try and lower Ye Lin’s guard, then find an opportunity to seal Ye Lin so that the slave mark could no longer affect her.

But at this moment, she had completely abandoned that thought.

This guy is simply not human!

Ye Lin slowly squatted down in front of Granny Kuanglong and reached out to stroke her silver-white hair with doting affection.

"Tell me, how should I dispose of you? Letting you die just like that seems a bit too easy on you."

Granny Kuanglong trembled like chaff, her body shaking incessantly.

"Oh! I have it; let’s play a game."

Ye Lin looked toward Gu Tianshou and those disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate who had brought the three of Kuai Yan over.

They were so frightened at this moment that they dared not move at all; the Granny Kuanglong, who was incomparably powerful in their eyes, was now like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered...

"The game is simple: we shall see if, when I strike with one sword, they all die, leaving everything to the providence of the unseen."

"If anyone is still alive after one sword, then I will slice you into a thousand pieces, execute you by slow slicing on the spot, and then roast your flesh piece by piece to feed to you."

"If they all die from one sword, then I will extract your consciousness and primordial spirit and torture you for a thousand years, leaving you unable to live and unable to die."

Having said that, Ye Lin did not give Granny Kuanglong any time to think; nine strands of Human Dao Imperial Qi surged into his body, causing his cultivation realm to soar instantly.

Blood Sacrifice Sword Art, Third Form—Heart Sacrifice!

A magnificent sword aura tore through the sky, slashing directly toward Gu Tianshou and the other disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate!

Under the threat of death, these stiff-bodied disciples dared not delay any longer; they screamed and summoned their life-bound spirit beasts, wanting to join forces to block this sword.

But with the enhancement of the Human Dao Imperial Qi, Ye Lin’s cultivation realm had already reached the late stage of the Spirit Vortex Realm; coupled with the Blood Sacrifice Sword Art and the Life-Severing Sword, how could this sword be so easily blocked!

The surrounding ancient trees and rocks were leveled almost instantly by the sword aura; those life-bound spirit beasts bore the brunt of the attack and became souls under the sword, killed in an instant.

Before the sword light even arrived, the bodies of these Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate disciples could not withstand it, and countless wounds split open on their skin.

"Ah!!!"

Accompanied by the dust and smoke kicked up by the sword aura, screams rang out one after another, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air.

When the dust settled, a scene like purgatory appeared before Granny Kuanglong.

Those Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate disciples were all torn to pieces, their wounds as smooth as mirrors, clearly killed directly by the powerful sword aura.

These disciples were almost all wiped out, with only Gu Tianshou barely able to breathe.

But his state at this moment was definitely not good; his eyes were filled with terror, one leg was missing, and he was covered in blood, looking exactly like a bloody mess.

After one sword, only Gu Tianshou remained alive.

Ye Lin raised his eyebrows, carried the Life-Severing Sword over, and then chopped off Gu Tianshou’s head with one strike, turning back to look at Granny Kuanglong with a beaming smile.

"Alright, the game results are in: first, I will slice your physical body, then I will torture your primordial spirit for a thousand years."

Granny Kuanglong collapsed on the spot; after all that, this was a sequencing question?

"No! You cannot do this to me; I am an elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate! I am extremely important to the Ten Thousand Beasts Heaven Gate, I am an expert of the Law Comprehension Realm, you cannot do this to me!"

Granny Kuanglong shrieked, her face twisted.

At this moment, she no longer had any of the immortal, transcendent air of a Law Comprehension Realm expert; she was entirely an old woman who had been scared out of her wits.

"Forbidden Spell: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!"

Ye Lin ignored Granny Kuanglong’s screaming; after manifesting three clones, his true self and the three clones each performed their duties.

The first clone began to build a stove, and soon a grill for roasting was set up; this clone was mainly responsible for controlling the heat of the grill to ensure the ingredients were cooked through without burning.

The second clone took out a cutting board and kitchen knife to chop green onions, ginger, and garlic, then, after preparing the sauce, smeared it onto the ingredients to marinate them.

The third clone stood by with a large bunch of iron skewers and a plate, responsible for skewering the meat.

As for Ye Lin’s true self, he held a sharp short dagger and walked toward Granny Kuanglong with a smile.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to eat roast meat soon."

Seeing the terror in Granny Kuanglong’s eyes, a look of reluctance flashed in Ye Lin’s eyes; it was truly inappropriate for him to scare an old person like this.

So he put down the sharp short dagger and swapped it for a severely rusted, dull knife.
