As a villain, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have a few hundred million different identiti

Lin Yu's strike seemed ordinary.

Yet, a subtle, sharp intent emanated from it, reaching the extreme of ferocity.

At this moment, Qiu Luoyu was only a few feet away from Lin Yu.

She saw Lin Yuzhen kill her most valued offspring with a single blow.

He was enraged when those treasonous words were uttered again.

A crimson phantom appeared outside the Empress's body.

It faintly coalesced into the shape of a Qilin.

A murderous glint flashed in her eyes as she unleashed a punch aimed at Lin Yu's blade.

But, in that very instant...

A sense of unease suddenly arose in the Empress's heart.

"not good!"

Qiu Luoyu's expression changed.

When they were only three feet away from Lin Yu's blade.

Her figure remained frozen in mid-air.

Then, under the influence of the Qilin image, the Empress's body twisted eighteen times in succession.

He barely managed to dodge Lin Yu's sharp blade.

Even so, the blade still grazed Qiu Luoyu's hair.

Cut off the crown on her head.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "You do have some skill."

"As expected of the mistress of the harem of the chosen one."

A single slash cleaved through the air.

Lin Yu's actions did not stop.

He swayed and stepped forward.

He followed up with a heavy kick to Qiu Luoyu's chest.

bang——

There was a muffled sound.

The crimson Qilin image outside the Empress's body was shattered by Lin Yu's kick.

He flew backwards in a disheveled state.

The empress's pupils contracted, and she forcibly swallowed back the mouthful of blood that was rising from her chest.

Then the whole body spun in mid-air.

It landed steadily in front of the dragon carriage.

...He stepped on Qiu Yizhuo's head.

bang——

then.

Everyone saw it.

The usually aloof and majestic Empress Qiu Lan suddenly lost her footing...

With disheveled hair, he fell sprawled on the ground.

Her head struck the dragon carriage, knocking it to the ground.

"..."

"Bold!!"

There was silence for a moment.

Zhang Hu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was the first to react. His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared as he charged toward Lin Yu.

"Capture this traitor!!"

Upon seeing this, the advancing troops from all sides hesitated for a moment, and then swarmed forward.

Lin Yu did not sheathe his sword.

He looked at Zhang Hu, who was charging at the forefront, and couldn't help but sneer, "So you rebels are going to join the Empress in rebellion too?"

Lin Yu's voice was clear and resonant, carrying far and wide.

The martial artists watching nearby shook their heads in disbelief.

The Empress and the Imperial Guard rebelled?

Are you sure it wasn't you who started the rebellion?

but……

What's going on with Lin Yu?!

Throughout, the fluctuations in his aura were all at the early stage of Qi Refining!

But that sword strike, imbued with sword intent and utterly brilliant, was not something a Qi Refining stage cultivator should possess!

In the eyes of outsiders.

Lin Yu was too unfathomable, leaving them unable to fathom his true nature.

Qiu Luoyu struggled to get up, her face as pale as paper.

Just a moment ago, if it weren't for that inexplicable sense of alarm that arose in my heart...

The Empress was certain that she would be severely injured, if not killed, by Lin Yu's blade!

"When did Lin Yu become so strong...?"

"Damn it, come back here!! Are you guys looking to die?!"

The empress let out a sharp and terrified roar.

He himself was no match for Lin Yu.

Zhang Hu and his men were simply going to their deaths.

Lin Yu has already made his move.

The heavy cleaver in his hand emitted a loud clang.

next moment.

The sword's cry transformed into the dragon's roar.

A cyan blade of light burst forth, transforming into a cyan divine dragon, its scales and claws fully revealed, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

Lin Yu held the dragon's tail and slashed out with his sword.

The dragon's roar shook the heavens!

He cleaved straight at Zhang Hu!

Zhang Hu's eyes widened, and he screamed in terror: "Azure Dragon Forbidden Technique!!!"

The Lin family's secret technique from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion: the Azure Dragon Forbidden Technique!

As the commander of the Imperial Guards protecting the palace, Zhang Hu also possesses the cultivation level of the early stage of the Profound Light Realm.

But at this moment, under this terrifying strike...

Zhang Hu felt as insignificant as an ant.

He barely managed to raise his spear and parry.

hum-

The blade flashed like a dragon.

The spear in Zhang Hu's hand, Zhang Hu's head, Zhang Hu's body...

At the same time, it was divided into two!

After a while.

Blood spilled into the sky.

Zhang Hu's body, split in two, fell limply to either side.

Blood and organs were smeared all over the ground.

There was a deathly silence in front of the palace gates.

Those who had already charged forward were completely dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at Lin Yu at that moment.

Zhang Hu is a Xuan Guang Realm expert.

So he was beheaded by the so-called number one good-for-nothing young master Lin?

These imperial guards were unaware of what had happened at the Duke's mansion.

However, the faces of those martial artists who had come to watch the spectacle were also twitching.

"I just inquired about it, and besides being a simp, Lin Yu also has the reputation of being the number one good-for-nothing in Qiu Lan Kingdom."

"No, good-for-nothing? Are you talking about him?"

"Do these people from Qiu Lan Kingdom have some misunderstanding about the word 'useless'?"

"Or is it that Qiu Lan Kingdom's definition of a good-for-nothing is different from other places?"

Everyone was bewildered.

Even in the Great Xia and Great Xuan, Lin Yu is among the top geniuses!

How did I become such a useless person in Qiu Lan Kingdom?

Autumn Rain was also dumbfounded.

Her hair was disheveled, her imperial robes were in disarray, and she said in a trembling voice, "Lin Yu, what exactly do you want to do?!"

The cleaver in Lin Yu's hand was dripping blood from its tip.

He looked at the Empress and said matter-of-factly, "Your Majesty is colluding with foreign powers and plotting a rebellion!"

"I am the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo and the son of the General Zhenyuan. It is only natural that I must defend the peace of the country and quell the rebellion!"

While talking.

Lin Yu, holding a blood-stained cleaver, walked step by step toward the Empress.

Behind Lin Yu were several martial artists from the Duke's Mansion.

After a moment of stunned silence, she resolutely followed behind Lin Yu.

"Lin Yu, I'll fight you to the death!!"

The Empress hissed softly.

hum-

Suddenly.

A crimson Qilin image once again solidified outside her body.

Earth-rank cultivation technique, Qilin Transformation!

This was an opportunity that the Empress and Ye Chen obtained three years ago when they met in the Fallen Mountains.

Currently, the Empress has mastered the Qilin Transformation to a minor level.

His cultivation level also reached the barrier of the Purple Mansion Realm.

That's why she chose this moment to make her move against Lin Yuan.

now.

Within the Empress's body, the Qilin Transformation was operating wildly.

The crimson Qilin's appearance almost materialized.

He unleashed his full power, reaching the peak of the Profound Light Realm.

Qiu Luoyu transformed into a human-shaped Qilin and pounced straight at Lin Yu.

"Die!!"

The Empress roared.

Her right hand, like the hoof of a mythical beast, slammed down on Lin Yu with immense pressure.

Lin Yu's eye twitched slightly.

He couldn't help but complain, "You've ruined the Qilin Transformation technique by making it like this..."

While talking.

Lin Yu swung the machete to one side and slammed it out heavily.

Snapped--

A crisp slap.

The Qilin image outside the Empress's body was directly destroyed.

Her body crashed heavily into the imperial carriage behind her, smashing the magnificent carriage, a symbol of imperial power, into pieces.

The empress lay on the ground, half of her face swollen.

Inside and outside the palace, you could hear a pin drop.

The imperial guards surrounding the empress, as well as the civil and military officials who rushed to the scene, looked at the empress lying on the ground in a disheveled state.

Deep down, it seems some belief... has shattered.

The invincible empress... has been defeated!

Until this moment.

A deep fear finally surfaced in Qiu Luoyu's eyes.

"Great treason, great treason!"

"Lin Yu, how dare you commit regicide in the street?!"

"Aren't we afraid of the historian's iron pen and the public's judgment?"

The empress muttered a few words of mockery.

Her voice trembled, sounding both threatening and pleading.

At this moment, the Empress finally regretted it.

The entire Zhenguo family were loyal and devoted, working tirelessly for Qiu Languo and the Wu family.

He was actually going to kill the entire Zhenguo Duke's family because of that ridiculous suspicion!

and.

I originally thought that Lin Yu was Lin Yuan and Lin Chu's weakness.

As long as we can hold onto Lin Yu's weakness, we can wear down the Lin family.

Little did anyone expect that Lin Yu would be the most terrifying member of the Lin family!

If the Empress had known Lin Yu possessed such terrifying strength, she would never have made a move at this time!

Lin Yu glanced around.

The civil and military officials around him all lowered their heads, avoiding Lin Yu's gaze.

Lin Yu stood before the Empress, looking down at her: "Your Majesty, I did not commit regicide, but rather quelled a rebellion."

killed?

It can't be that cheap.

Killing you would solve everything, but how would we then diminish the destiny of the chosen one?

Just as Lin Yu was about to deliver the finishing blow—

"This matter ends here."

Just at this time.

An aged voice, carrying an undeniable authority, boomed like thunder.

At the same time, a heavy pressure descended from the sky, separating Lin Yu and Qiu Luoyu.

Purple Mansion Realm.

Lin Yu looked up and gazed in a certain direction.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

While talking.

He kicked the Empress in the stomach.

The pressure from a Purple Mansion Realm expert was no match for Lin Yu's kick!

bang——

The empress's body flew up and crashed heavily against the palace wall.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face turned ashen, and a deep despair appeared in her eyes.

One kick, and his dantian shattered!
