Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Damn, little girl, I underestimated you."

Lai Chu stuck out his tongue and licked the bloodstains beside his lips, saying in a sinister tone, "Where did you get that golden scroll? You'd better tell me the truth."

Long Ying said, "It's mine."

"Bullshit," Lai Chu said sullenly. "That kind of thing could never have reached human territory!"

Long Ying paused for a moment. It seemed that gold-quality extraordinary items were even rarer than she had imagined.

However, she certainly wouldn't sell Night Song, and said coldly, "Why should I tell you?"

"Hmph, you're pretty stubborn." Lai Chu said, "Very well, it's been a long time since anyone has hurt me. In a little while, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

As he finished speaking, an extremely cold and eerie aura emanated from his body, with blackish-purple smoke swirling and coiling around him.

An invisible, terrifying aura unfolded!

Long Ying felt an unprecedented chill run through her body. Lai Chu was releasing an aura that terrified her. Under this terrifying pressure, she felt as if she had been under some kind of terrifying illusion. Her whole body was cold and she couldn't move at all. Her back was covered in a layer of cold sweat, which was sticky and uncomfortable. It even felt as if her soul was about to be pulled out of her body in an instant!

The dozen or so female guards behind her were in the same state, unable to move!

'This is the true strength of a Saint Realm expert!'

Long Ying's face turned pale.

Then, the leper's swollen belly suddenly opened its large mouth, and a greasy tongue dripping with saliva stretched out and lashed out at her!

Without a doubt, even if Lai Chu was injured, none of his attacks would be something that Long Ying, who was only at the Thousand Soul Realm, could dodge!

"Spellcasting - Demonic Spirit Fire"

Just then, a red light suddenly appeared!

A ball of deep red fox demon flame roared out, passing by Long Ying and striking Lai Chu's outstretched tongue.

The Holy Soul Flame clung to the leper's tongue, its shape resembling a ferocious and monstrous fox beast, gripping the long, greasy tongue tightly and tearing at it forcefully.

The Holy Soul Flame will burn anything it touches until it is completely destroyed!

The leper was startled.

Demonic Spirit Fire?!?

He clearly knew the power of the Demonic Spirit Fire.

It quickly retracted its tongue from its belly.

Crimson flames rapidly spread and burned upwards along his tongue!

Lai Chu immediately grabbed the root of his tongue.

With a sudden burst of force, he actually tore his own tongue off!

The severed tongue was a full two meters long. It lay on the ground like a burning python, still writhing and twisting.

Until the entire severed tongue was completely engulfed by flames!

Long Ying was still in a daze.

Ye Ge then walked out slowly with a calm smile, dressed in a dashing white robe, one hand behind his back.

"The highest-ranking human superhuman in the Qin Empire."

"Eliminating leprosy?"

Ye Ge tilted her head, carefully examining Lai Chu's appearance: "Your real appearance is even uglier than in the game's CG..."

Lai Chu frowned, not understanding what Ye Ge meant: "Who are you, kid? Did you unleash that demonic spirit fire just now?"

Lai Chu originally thought that Ye Ge was a member of the Spirit Demon Clan.

However, he sensed that Ye Ge's aura did not have the scent of any spirit demon race; she was clearly human. Instead, she had a slight scent of a demon race.

"He is Ye Ge!"

At this moment, Long Hai, covered in wounds, stood up, stared at Ye Ge, and said through gritted teeth.

"Oh, isn't this our Emperor?" Ye Ge exclaimed in surprise, "How come you've changed so much in just a few years? Your imperial robes are so tattered!"

Long Hai: "......"

"Oh? So you're that little demonized mutant from the Ye family." Lai Chu narrowed his eyes. "I didn't expect you to dare to break into the palace. I was thinking about how to trick you into coming here. You're really not afraid of death."

"Is the palace such a dangerous place?" Ye Ge looked around at the palace, which had been reduced to ruins, and the corpses of guards scattered everywhere. "Anyway, I think Long Hai's direct subordinates, guards, and even eunuchs are almost all dead, right? He's just a lone emperor now."

Upon hearing this, Long Hai's face twitched in a very unpleasant way.

Looking at Ye Ge's profile, Long Ying felt a surge of emotion.

Did he... come to save me?

However, given the vast distance between Yecheng and Kyoto, how did he manage to appear in Kyoto so quickly?

Long Ying stepped forward and whispered nervously, "Why are you here? This monster is a Saint Realm expert! They're just thinking about how to kill you! You've walked right into their trap!"

Ye Ge glanced at her: "If I don't come to save you, who will govern the country for me in the future?"

“…Huh?” Long Ying stared at her blankly, her cheeks flushed, her heart pounded, and she didn’t know what to say.

Lai Chu stared at Ye Ge with his turbid eyes. As a Saint Realm cultivator, he could tell at a glance that Ye Ge was indeed a transcendent being of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

How dare a transcendent being at the Myriad Manifestations Realm stand alone in front of him and start shouting?

Obviously it is impossible.

He must have brought other helpers with him.

Lai Chu sneered: "Since that's the case, stop dawdling and send out your Ye family's army. And that old man Ye Quan, he must be here too, right?"

In his eyes, the Ye family's biggest trump card must be that old man Ye Quan.

A peak expert of the Apocalypse Realm with a bloodline of demonized genes, who also possesses the bloodline talent to enter a demonic state, is indeed an opponent not to be underestimated.

If they're going to attack the imperial city, that old guy Ye Quan can't possibly not show up.

Ye Ge shrugged: "There's no army, just me."

"As for my grandfather, he is already enjoying his retirement, so of course he didn't come either."

"You alone?" Lai Chu stared at Ye Ge with a scrutinizing gaze.

He had no idea what this kid was up to.

However, he did not sense any high-level superhumans nearby.

Long Ying was also surprised: "No way? You didn't bring any men?!"

Ye Ge replied matter-of-factly, "I came to Kyoto just to save you, and incidentally kill a stupid emperor and a mutated old monster. Why bring so many people?"

Long Ying was completely bewildered: "No way...you...you're kidding me??"

Ye Ge was actually very clear about the situation.

For Saint Realm experts, even if they bring an army, most of them will just be sent to their deaths.

Weapons like the Magic Gun have very limited effectiveness in the Holy Realm.

Unless there is absolutely no blind spot in the firepower, and the entire city of Kyoto is completely flattened, it is impossible to hit it.

Ye Ge had no intention of sacrificing the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ye family warriors to eliminate one person.

"Hahahahahaha..."

Lai Chule burst out laughing, grinning with a ferocious and cruel smile: "What a reckless madman! Fine, I'll send you on your way today!"
