CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 154 MINOR THINGS MINOR THINGS

The atmosphere between these two instantly turned tense and hostile.

Yet, Ling Guang City Lord still maintained a beaming smile: "Xi Lin, what do you think?"

Xi Lin said expressionlessly, "Although it’s somewhat a waste of time. But since she’s seeking death, I have no reason to stop her. Just that City Lord, you know, I don’t hold back my hands, in case I kill the demon, you can’t blame me."

"Since it’s a fight, then it’s a matter of life and death," Shi Nian said directly.

Ling Guang City Lord glanced at Shi Nian, this female demon was really too impulsive.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have completely provoked Xi Lin, even clearly indicating a deadly intent.

The City Lord sighed, originally, he was quite optimistic about this female demon’s future, but now that the words have escalated to this point, Xi Lin will definitely not hold back, and she will most likely die in this fight.

A new low-level demon from the Demon Clan, and a Great Commander whom he painstakingly recruited, Ling Guang City Lord still knew which was more important.

In his heart, he had already given up on Shi Nian, but his face still wore a smile: "This space here is small, you two should go to the space at the entrance. This great battle, like Mo Yin said, is a matter of life and death."

A ferocious smile immediately appeared on Xi Lin’s face.

Very well.

Lately, he had indeed slaughtered quite a few Human Cultivators, but as the City Lord had decreed, they were not to fatally harm their own kind, so it had been a long time since he killed a demon.

Today, just happens to break that prohibition.

Thus, Shi Nian and Xi Lin, just like this, walked out.

Sheng Linglong and Feng Ying were almost bursting into tears.

This... what kind of development is this?

What was supposed to be a sparring, suddenly turned into a fight to the death!

Isn’t Xi Lin, a demon at the Peak of Divinity Transformation?

Shi Nian fighting him, this this this this this...

The two hurriedly followed them outside, but their hearts were hanging in their throats.

Xi Lin looked at Shi Nian, licking his lips: "Do you know? I don’t like to easily give lethal blows. I prefer, to slowly torment my opponent, watching his pain, watching his despair, watching him hysterically unable to do anything about me. Recently, I’ve killed quite a few Human Cultivators. Among them, the one that lasted the longest was tortured by me for three whole days and nights before dying. How long do you think you can last?"

Torturing Human Cultivators!

Sheng Linglong and Feng Ying lowered their heads, not daring to show any signs of dissent.

Shi Nian’s face instantly grew cold.

"How long I can last, I don’t know," Shi Nian said expressionlessly, not hiding her anger at all.

But no demon doubted her.

Xi Lin already said he wanted to torture her to death; Shi Nian being angry was normal.

"But." Shi Nian slowly said: "How long you can last, I actually know."

Xi Lin was startled for a moment, then laughed.

It had been a long time since he encountered such an arrogant demon.

Very well, today was a good day to make an example out of her.

"Three."

Shi Nian suddenly said.

Xi Lin frowned.

Three what?

"Two."

Shi Nian continued.

Xi Lin: "???"

This female demon was counting down.

What did she mean?

Defeat him within three seconds?

This was utterly absurd!

Xi Lin grew even more disdainful, he was sure, this female demon was just clamoring for attention!

Otherwise? Could she really defeat him in three seconds?

"One." Shi Nian had already counted down to the final number.

Xi Lin still scoffed in ridicule.

However.

The echo of "one" hadn’t even faded yet.

Shi Nian’s body suddenly appeared in front of him like a specter.

Xi Lin instinctively tried to defend himself.

However, it was useless.

A force like a landslide or tsunami instantly shattered his defenses.

Bang.

Shi Nian’s punch, hit right in the middle of his forehead.

The next moment.

Xi Lin’s forehead burst open.

A Demon Core, slowly fell down.

Within Mei City.

The City Lord’s Number One, Xi Lin.

Died under Shi Nian, with a single punch.

The entire space was deadly silent.

Ling Guang, the City Lord, looked at the fallen corpse of Xi Lin in shock, as well as the demoness who stood proudly before the corpse.

One punch.

It took just one punch.

This demoness had actually killed Xi Lin!

Such a feat was not something ordinary Transcendance Tribulation Stagers could achieve.

Yet, a low-level Demon of the Body Refinement could do it!

Pah, pah, pah!

What low-level Demon.

This is definitely some kind of mutant Demon, no doubt about it.

Shi Nian turned around and looked at Ling Guang, the City Lord, "City Lord, it doesn’t matter that I killed him, right?"

The smile on Ling Guang’s face suddenly became brilliantly radiant: "As agreed, life and death were at your discretion, you killed him, and that’s your ability. As the ruler of this city, this position of Great Commander is now yours! You nine come here, meet your new Great Commander."

Those nine Commanders had also witnessed Shi Nian’s terrifying power, and without a moment’s hesitation, in front of Xi Lin’s corpse, they acknowledged Shi Nian as their new boss.

Shi Nian nodded nonchalantly, then looked at the City Lord, "City Lord, what are the main duties of this Great Commander?"

Ling Guang enthusiastically said, "This position of Great Commander is second only to myself. You can make independent decisions about the affairs of Mei City, except for some particularly urgent matters. Your nine subordinates will report to you in detail later. For now, shall I have a banquet prepared so we can celebrate first?"

Shi Nian shook her head: "No need, I don’t like drinking. City Lord, where will I be staying? I’d like to rest for a bit."

Ling Guang wasn’t annoyed, still all smiles: "I’ll have Xi Lin’s residence cleaned out for you. You’ll be able to move in right away. Rest well tonight, and I’ll have them come to you tomorrow to report."

"Okay." Shi Nian nodded.

An hour later.

Shi Nian, Feng Ying, and Sheng Linglong, together with the dying Human, moved into Xi Lin’s residence.

Shi Nian immediately went to the dungeon.

Xi Lin had constructed a massive dungeon underground, where close to a hundred Cultivators were imprisoned.

These Cultivators were mostly bound by chains, each with a numb expression, no longer showing any hope for life in their eyes.

Shi Nian looked on.

A few might not last more than a few days.

She must rescue these people quickly.

But for now, she said nothing and just turned around and left.

"Shi Nian, you just..." Feng Ying hesitated as she looked at Shi Nian.

This version of Shi Nian gave her a terrifyingly commanding presence.

Shi Nian glanced at her, then her entire demeanor slumped.

She contorted her face playfully, boasting smugly: "How was it, did I look cool just now!"

Feng Ying: "...Very cool..."

"I thought so too," Shi Nian sighed. "It’s just that pretending like that tires me out. I’m heading to sleep, you guys should rest early too."

Shi Nian leisurely returned to her room to sleep.

Leaving Feng Ying and Sheng Linglong exchanging looks.

Sheng Linglong softly said, "I can feel, Xiao Nian is very angry."

Clearly very upset, yet pretending to be relaxed, Shi Nian was imposing a heavy burden on herself.

She likely just wanted to be alone.

Feng Ying and Sheng Linglong naturally did not disturb Shi Nian.

The two quietly sat and drank tea, noticing that the All-Worlds Communication kept flashing, so they took it out.

In the All-Worlds Communication, their group of ten was very lively.

Zhu Lin: "Brothers and sisters!! You definitely wouldn’t guess, we’ve already infiltrated the eastern mine, and have even become small leaders now! The mine boss even said our Brother Lu is a genius and wants to recommend him to the commanders of the City Lord Mansion. You all know about the commanders of the City Lord Mansion, right? They are all at least in the Divinity Transformation Stage! Brother Lu will soon infiltrate the core echelons."

Chen Mingyue: "We three went to the western military camp to enlist. But because we are Mortal Demons with no Cultivation, we could only do some logistical work for now."

Zhu Lin: "Hahaha, you guys are lacking! Our Brother Lu is really something."

No one knew what tactics Lu Zhuoyan had employed, but now Zhu Lin kept mentioning Brother Lu, seemingly as a diehard fan.

"Right. How about you guys? How’s your progress?" Zhu Lin @mentioned Shi Nian and the other two.

Sheng Linglong and Feng Ying remained silent.

Oh.

As for them.

Shi Nian had merely killed one Commander and another Great Commander and was now almost running the whole city.

Minor details, hardly worth mentioning.

Sheng Linglong and Feng Ying silently agreed not to reply.

Zhu Lin, thinking they had no achievements, pretended to be superior in the group chat all night long.

Sheng Linglong and Feng Ying just watched.

Zhu Lin would regret the boasting he did today.

Legend says.

There are two kinds of deaths for a person.

One is the physical demise.

The other is social death.

Well.

Zhu Lin might as well taste what social death feels like first.
