Chapter 1704: Come Out and Die!

The black and red opera robe obscured the sky and sun.

Hearing these two words, a faint smile appeared in those ruby-like eyes.

He had let Han Meng judge him not only to make Han Meng understand his actions but also to use the scales of justice in Han Meng's heart to measure whether everything he had done was correct.

Having slaughtered two domains in succession and killed so many innocent people with his own hands, Chen Ling had long since become numb. When he saw the endless corpses he had hung under the sky with his own hands, he was also a bit dazed for a moment... He couldn't help but question himself: was doing this right?

The sky spins and the earth darkens, the common people fall of their own accord;

A thousand killings are not evil, the red boat ferries the suffering.

A thousand killings are not evil, but the number of people who died at Chen Ling's hands had already reached hundreds of thousands. Who could guarantee that every one of them was willing to be "ferried"? Regardless of Chen Ling's ultimate goal, the fact that he slaughtered the people was already a reality. The current bloodshed, pain, and the abuse he suffered were all real.

Chen Ling was in the game and couldn't measure whether he was correct for a moment... But in this world, there were those who could measure it.

Han Meng was like an absolutely fair mirror. The moment the judgment began, justice would give Chen Ling the answer.

And now, Chen Ling had received that answer.

"...Thank you."

After a long silence, Chen Ling said to Han Meng sincerely.

"If you want to kill the Lord of Lingxu, I can help you." Han Meng spoke immediately, "On the other side of the Lingxu Domain, there is a world built up by formulas, and the two Nine Lords and those Eighth-Order fighters all died in battle there..."

Han Meng laid out everything he knew concisely, and after Chen Ling finished listening, he was lost in thought.

He said something to Han Meng, and the two figures looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.

The black law enforcer's trench coat sped off in one direction.

The World-Ending aura surged on Chen Ling, and beneath the black and red that obscured the sky, he continued to walk forward slowly...

Endless red-paper tentacles, as if possessing self-awareness, extended in all directions, continuously harvesting the terrified residents who had survived in the ruins of the buildings. Fragmented ghosts floated up from the ruins and surged toward the red paper umbrella.

Some residents were not killed by Chen Ling because of their floor height or because they were sleeping. Some died in collapsing buildings, and others died by suicide out of extreme terror... No matter what method they used to end their lives, their souls would be swept into the red paper umbrella.

The red paper umbrella's ability could absorb all ghosts within its range, regardless of whether Chen Ling had killed them himself. And the reason Chen Ling had to give the Twilight Society members poison was because they were too far away from him, and the red paper umbrella couldn't collect their ghosts... Therefore, he could only use [Abyssal Ghost Ferry] to ignore space and summon their ghosts first, then absorb them into the red paper umbrella.

So, while Chen Ling was frantically harvesting the lives of the residents of the Lingxu Domain, he could also feel ghosts being summoned from the north.

Heart of 7, Club of 8, Spade of 9, Diamond of 10, Heart of J...

With every Twilight Society ghost returning to its place, worry surged in Chen Ling's heart... The faster the ghosts returned, the more intense the fighting on the Forbidden Sea battlefield, and the more disadvantaged the Twilight Society was.

But if a ghost didn't return, Chen Ling felt nervous, fearing that someone hadn't been able to swallow the poison and couldn't go to the next world.

In the end, Chen Ling counted the ghosts summoned back by [Abyssal Ghost Ferry], and five were missing:

Gray King, Heart of 9, Jiang Xiaohua, Jian Changsheng... and one outsider of the Twilight Society, Zhao Yi.

The good news was that the Twilight Society hadn't been completely wiped out, which meant that the encirclement of the Calamity of Ridicule might have been successful...

And the bad news... these missing ghosts didn't necessarily all persist to the end. Perhaps some of them would never have the chance to meet again.

Chen Ling took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions as much as possible, and then slashed out with his knife again.

A bloody full moon appeared in the ruins once more.

Hundreds of thousands of life fires were extinguished simultaneously.

The Lingxu Domain, which was originally extremely prosperous and populous, had now been slaughtered by Chen Ling into a bloody dead city. Severed corpses were scattered in every corner of the ruins, and an extremely thick smell of blood soared into the sky.

But even so, Chen Ling still didn't see the figure of the Lord of Lingxu...

From the moment Chen Ling stepped into the Lingxu Domain, the Lord of Lingxu hadn't revealed the slightest aura, letting Chen Ling slaughter hundreds of thousands of people without any intention of taking action. If Chen Ling couldn't sense that the Lord of Lingxu's domain was still shrouding the domain, he would have suspected whether he was still here.

It was as if everything happening here had nothing to do with him.

"Ignoring the lives of others, burying your head in seclusion to recover..."

Chen Ling guessed that perhaps the Lord of Lingxu didn't want to ignore it, but his physical state was indeed extremely poor, knowing that if he didn't recover some strength as soon as possible, he might not be his opponent at all.

Chen Ling took a deep breath. The next second, [True Words] was activated on the tip of his tongue, and his voice exploded over the entire domain like thunder:

"Wu Tongyuan—!!"

"Come out... and die!!!"

Beneath the sky intertwined with black and red, the World-Ending pressure surged in the domain, but even with Chen Ling's provocation, the Lord of Lingxu still didn't emit the slightest aura.

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed. He knew that the Lord of Lingxu might be trying to delay time. Since he couldn't be forced out like this, he would have to think of another way...

A moment later,

His gaze fell on the towering Akashic Tower in the distance.

Chen Ling snorted coldly, his figure, like a black-red opera robe obscuring the sky, rolled and charged toward the high tower!

"If you don't come out, I'll slash this tower right in front of you!!"

Chen Ling raised his palm, and the bone-cleaving knife automatically fell into his hand. The power of [Wall-Breaking] spread frantically to the surroundings, forcibly compressing the messy and dilapidated ruins into two dimensions...

At the same time, a red thread piercing through two and three dimensions extended from the blade of the bone-cleaving knife again!

Just as Chen Ling was about to swing his knife at the Akashic Tower, a sudden change occurred!

Hum—!!!

Three roars overlapped, tearing the sky apart.

Three chess pieces were thrown from the ruins of the Lingxu Ancient Temple, circling and flying in three different directions. After skipping across the void, they surrounded Chen Ling simultaneously at a strange arc!

Sure enough, once he threatened the Akashic Tower, he couldn't help himself.

A sharp light flashed in Chen Ling's eyes!

The current Chen Ling was no longer the person he was before. He didn't even need to rely on Wall-Breaking to dodge these attacks. The bone-cleaving knife in his hand swung out another bloody full moon, sweeping across the void, and the three world-destroying chess pieces were cut in half from the center!

Boom, boom, boom—!!

The broken chess pieces collided with each other, sparks erupted, and an explosion containing terrifying energy submerged the world.
