Chapter 43: Slay

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Cang Jun rose from the palace maid, a smile appearing on his face.

The corners of his mouth savored the sweet taste of pineapple juice.

"That legendary Saint born with natural gifts has finally arrived."

Cang Jun laughed heartily.

"Where is the Canglong Army?"

At this moment, a thin, effeminate man walked over.

"Your servant is here." A look of trepidation appeared on the man's face.

"There is an Assassin today; leave it to you all to resolve. I want to watch a good show."

"As you command." The man lowered his head, his voice trembling.

This so-called Canglong Army was established by Cang Jun ten days ago.

There were three hundred soldiers in the army, and these three hundred were not ordinary soldiers, but were composed of eunuchs from the palace.

Therefore, facing this moment, this Grand Commander of the Canglong Army felt somewhat trepidatious.

He knew that those capable of assassinating Cang Jun and entering the Imperial Palace were all Extraordinary Persons.

They were merely Ordinary eunuchs; they could not even defeat a regular army, let alone an Extraordinary Person.

However, since Cang Jun had given the order, they naturally dared not resist; otherwise, they would be sent to the Ten Thousand Poison Cave to feed the poisonous creatures.

Half an hour later.

Lin Chao entered the Palace, but the result was that he faced no obstacles; there were no soldiers blocking him at all.

Lin Chao held his Dao Sword, his gaze calm.

He looked up and saw a man in a yellow robe on a high building a hundred meters away.

This person was none other than Cang Jun!

"Lin Ping, are you the one who killed my younger brother?"

Cang Jun's voice rolled out, his expression unreadable.

Lin Chao looked at Cang Jun without speaking.

"I admire you quite a bit." A trace of a smile appeared on Cang Jun's face. "You could probably count as the second best in the world, right?"

The best in the world, of course, was he, Cang Jun.

Lin Chao looked at the distant Cang Jun, his gaze calm.

Cang Jun's figure was burly, and he possessed a tyrannical aura.

Even if he were placed on the street, one could tell he was not an Ordinary person.

"For your sake, I specially organized a Canglong Army. Defeat them, and you will have the qualifications to speak with me." Cang Jun laughed.

It was unclear whether his words were sincere or meant as an insult.

To randomly organize a group of three hundred eunuchs into an army.

Such an army, having undergone no training, could be said to have extremely weak combat power.

They might not even be able to defeat bandits.

Using such an army to deal with an Extraordinary Person was simply a fantasy.

Of course, against an Ordinary Extraordinary Person, there was still a chance of victory.

Was Lin Chao an Ordinary Extraordinary Person?

No.

He was the one who had Slayed Cang Jun's brother, the Master of the Taiqing Palace.

The Canglong Army looked at Lin Chao with fear.

However, they still donned armor and took up blades, forming a military formation.

Lin Chao looked at these people, his gaze deep.

"With Heaven's Mandate upon them, this kind of bullshit army could probably even hold back three thousand Wolf Guards."

This Canglong Army did not have strong power.

However, the Gold threads on their bodies were thick at this moment, as thick as an infant's wrist.

With such destiny upon them, the power they could exert would likely be more than even the Master of the Taiqing Palace could handle.

Yet, the one they encountered was Lin Chao.

"Slay."

The leader of the Canglong Army, Eunuch Cao, gave the order.

Instantly, the three hundred soldiers rushed toward Lin Chao with their blades.

These soldiers were running without any military formation at all; they looked like a flock of ducks running.

Unfortunately, with Heaven's Mandate upon them, even a duck could defeat a tiger.

Lin Chao stood in place, feeling a sense of oppression.

Even though the Canglong Army was ridiculous, he felt as if he were facing elite Wolf Guards.

Lin Chao sensed countless Gold threads surging toward him, entangling his body and binding his movements.

If it were anyone else, they would likely be unable to move at this moment for some inexplicable reason.

But Lin Chao was not an Ordinary person.

No-Refusal Dao Heart!

With the No-Refusal Dao Heart, he was not afraid of this kind of illusory and vague Heaven's Mandate at all.

This so-called Heaven's Mandate was nothing more than pollution.

Lin Chao was not even afraid of facing ten thousand Wolf Guards, so what did these three hundred eunuchs amount to?

Lin Chao raised his sword, and the blade left its scabbard.

A single sword strike traced a half-moon arc, and instantly, two living beings died.

This time, Lin Chao had not activated Slaughter Mastery.

Yet, in this life, killing for him was more like a natural talent.

Lin Chao continued to advance, continuing to swing his sword.

Every time the sword fell, someone was bound to die.

Just from the first clash, over a dozen people died.

No one was injured.

To be struck by the sword meant certain death; there were no wounded.

These eunuchs' eyes had turned red by now, and the timidity they once had was gone.

Under the blessing of destiny, these eunuchs had transformed into desperate outlaws.

They not only used weapons, but also bit with their mouths and kicked with their feet.

Unfortunately, Lin Chao's sword was too sharp, giving them no chance to even open their mouths.

High upon the platform, Noble Lian Guifei, dressed in a long purple gown, fed a grape into the mouth of Cang Jun, her eyes occasionally scanning the battle below.

"My beloved consort, who do you think will win this battle?" Cang Jun ate the grape, his gaze fixed on the beautiful woman before him.

"Naturally, it is Your Majesty's Canglong Army!" Noble Lian Guifei replied smoothly.

"How about we make a wager?" A smile appeared on Cang Jun's face.

Noble Lian Guifei's body stiffened, and she could not stop trembling.

Those who made wagers with Cang Jun... were all dead.

"Your Majesty, I have the same thoughts as you; your concubine cannot win a bet against you."

"Haha." Cang Jun was very satisfied with Noble Lian Guifei's reaction. "I bet that this Lin Ping will win."

"Your Majesty..." Noble Lian Guifei's body trembled violently, her face turning pale.

"I am in a good mood today, so I will not bet with you." Cang Jun laughed loudly. "Let us watch slowly as the Canglong Army is... slaughtered."

Noble Lian Guifei's body trembled, and she let out a sigh of relief.

Yet, she felt as if she might have misheard.

The battle continued, with roars echoing incessantly.

Lin Chao remained calm throughout, his body appearing not to be stained by any blood.

If one were to say Heize was savage, powerful, and terrifying.

Then, Lin Ping was elegant and unknown.

A quarter of an hour passed, and the stone slabs on the ground were soaked in blood.

On the ground, there was not a single living soul left.

Everywhere one looked, there were only corpses.

Reincarnated as Heize, Lin Chao had killed over ten thousand people.

The few hundred corpses now meant nothing to him.

He continued to hold his sword, walking forward slowly.

The palace guards looked at him with awe, yet not one of them blocked his path.

Clearly, Cang Jun had given them orders not to stop Lin Chao.

Lin Chao walked onto the high platform without any obstruction.

He was only ten meters away from Cang Jun.

Lin Chao looked at Cang Jun, his gaze profound.

There was a Gold thread on Cang Jun, resembling a true dragon.

In the outside world, everyone had a thread on them; these threads represented destiny.

All destiny flowed toward Cang Jun.

At this moment, Cang Jun was like a child of destiny.

The closer one was to him, the stronger the influence of his destiny became.

This was Cang Jun's confidence, and also Cang Jun's strength.

Even if the other eleven factions joined forces and appeared before Cang Jun, they could not truly slay him.

Possessing the Canglong Stone, Cang Jun was the true destination of destiny.

Cang Jun looked at Lin Chao, his gaze carrying a playful smile: "You have no Gold thread on you."
