CHAPTER 2273: CHAPTER 2272: I WON’T LET YOU GO, EVEN AS A GHOST

"Boom boom boom～～"

Lin Dong’s palm turned into a sword, nearly each strike killing a demon beast.

This level of demon beast, in front of Lin Dong, was as easy to kill as crushing an ant.

Soon, Lin Dong slaughtered them all.

Among the eight demon beasts, there was only one Demon King, and it was just a One-Star Demon King.

The most valuable thing on them was that single demon core.

After killing them, Lin Dong only took that demon core, which could be used to concoct some pills later.

After killing them, Lin Dong continued to walk up the stairs.

"Swish swish～～"

In two steps, Lin Dong reached the top of the stairs, standing at the main gate of the ’Susanoo Shrine’.

The main gate was covered by a faint golden light, which was the formation barrier formed by the formation.

If it were an ordinary person, or some low-rank martial artist, they couldn’t enter at all.

They would be bounced back by the power of that formation.

After arriving at this door, Lin Dong encountered new guardians.

The Qingye Clan had been established in the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World for over a thousand years. That ’God Susanoo’ existed even before Yinghua Country was formed.

Its cultural foundation, obviously, need not be mentioned.

At the moment, the strength of the guardians at this door was vastly different from those outside the gate.

Now, the guardians that emerged numbered three. All of them were Earth Realm martial artists.

One of the Earth Realm martial artists was even a Seventh Stage Grandmaster! The kind who could manifest a Dharma Body.

However, these three all looked like withered trees. Clearly, they were very old.

Beyond allowing the spirit and soul of Heavenly Realm martial artists to remain immortal after death, the four great shrines of Yinghua Country had another effect.

They could, to some extent, slow down the lifespan of these Earth Realm martial artists.

Of course, this delay couldn’t last for too long either.

But delaying around a hundred years wasn’t a big issue.

These three guardians were such cases.

For instance, as a Seventh Stage Grandmaster, this Earth Realm martial artist’s lifespan could be about seven hundred years.

But now, he was already seven hundred and fifty years old!

It’s because staying in this ’Susanoo Shrine’, there was a mysterious power in the Susanoo Shrine that delayed his aging.

"Who are you, daring to intrude upon our Susanoo Shrine?" this Seventh Stage Grandmaster martial artist shouted at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong’s current identity was disguised as the Light Messenger.

This identity wasn’t recognized by this Earth Realm martial artist who had lived for over seven hundred years.

However, someone beside him did recognize it.

That person was a Fourth Stage Grandmaster martial artist. He had been in the same era with the Light Messenger, so he recognized him.

"Is it you? Light Messenger, what are you doing at our Susanoo Shrine?" this Earth Realm martial artist asked.

Lin Dong looked at him, frowning. Naturally, he didn’t recognize the other, but didn’t expect the other actually recognized the Light Messenger?

"You recognize me?" Lin Dong asked him blandly in the tone of the Light Messenger.

"Of course I recognize you, Light Messenger! Do you not remember me? We had many dealings in the past. I am Qingye Xuanzong, and back then, I even introduced you to my younger female cousin. You two had a relationship back then. Now you actually forgot me?" This person said angrily.

It seems that in the past, he had a good relationship with the Light Messenger.

Lin Dong, using the tone of the Light Messenger, coldly said: "Living so long, and yet only a Fourth Stage Grandmaster? Why should I remember you? You’ve achieved nothing, what makes you worthy of my memory?"

"You..." Upon hearing this, the Fourth Stage Grandmaster Qingye Xuanzong was almost jumping with rage.

This bastard!

Really, such a bastard!

After becoming a Heavenly Realm martial artist, would you really disregard me like this?

Damn it, back when we were young, you and I were like brothers.

Due to my qualifications and talents, I can’t progress further. Now facing old age at the Fourth Stage Grandmaster, while you’ve become a Heavenly Realm martial artist, you despise me like this?

He’s sure that the other remembers him. It’s just intentional to speak like that.

Truly abhorrent.

"Baga yarou, Light Messenger, a samurai can be killed but not humiliated! You insult me like this today, I will unsheathe my sword against you!" Qingye Xuanzong said, drawing his samurai sword.

Lin Dong glanced at him, said: "A samurai can be killed but not humiliated, very well, in that case, die."

After saying this, Lin Dong acted directly.

"Wind, come!"

He casually grabbed the wind as a sword, sending a practice sword light toward the Fourth Stage Grandmaster Qingye Xuanzong.

Qingye Xuanzong was completely dumbfounded.

He never expected the Light Messenger, whom he called brother with in his youth, would actually make a move to kill him.

And, without a second thought, intending to kill him!

He hurriedly conjured up Strong Protective Qi, simultaneously slashing out with his sword, trying to fend off this attack.

Yet, how could a mere Fourth Stage Grandmaster martial artist block Lin Dong’s attack?

"Boom!!"

The sword he wielded was instantly crushed by Lin Dong’s stroke.

At the same time, Lin Dong’s sword struck his Strong Protective Qi.

"Crack～～" sounded as the Strong Protective Qi shattered like glass hit by a stone.

"Ah... Light Messenger, how merciless you are! Once we were brothers, now you are of the Heavenly Realm, and I a mere Fourth Stage Grandmaster, and yet you treat me like this? Baga yarou, even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!"

"Ah..."

After saying this last sentence, he was struck by this sword.

Lin Dong’s sword contained a faint taste of the ’Sword Domain’. Though he casually grabbed it, with neither bringing in the fresh breeze of the human world nor incorporating noble spirit, this grab captured three thousand strands of wind blades, transforming into three thousand wind Sword Qi.

The three thousand wind Sword Qi merged and slashed out, irresistible.

After entering the body of this Fourth Stage Grandmaster Qingye Xuanzong, the sword energy split again into three thousand strands.

Three thousand strands of wind Sword Qi exploded within him.

"Puff puff puff puff～～～"

Like cutting his body from inside out.

The three thousand swords sliced his flesh from inside out, turning his body into countless fragments.

"Boom!!"

Ultimately, under the power of the sword qi, it exploded, scattering blood and flesh into the sky.

The dignified Fourth Stage Grandmaster martial artist was thus easily obliterated by Lin Dong.

Seeing this scene, the other two Earth Realm martial artists’ expressions changed dramatically.

The two hurriedly shouted towards the back.

"Request the Heavenly Realm Guardian Honorable to take action, a Heavenly Realm martial artist is intruding upon our Qingye Clan’s Susanoo Shrine!"

"Request the Heavenly Realm Guardian Honorable to take action!"

Their voices reached deep within the Susanoo Shrine.

In the depths of the Susanoo Shrine sat an elder. Lin Dong had met this elder once before.

This person was the surviving Heavenly Realm martial artist of the Qingye Clan, Aoba Nameless.

Aoba Nameless opened his eyes and slowly spoke.

"Who dares to intrude upon my Susanoo Shrine?"
