The originally not-so-wide street became incredibly crowded with over fifty people.
And at the center of the congestion, within a three-meter radius around Lin Zitong, not a single person stood.
Although everyone had not truly witnessed Lin Zitong's abilities, Yan Shouyi's display of strength that day was still fresh in their minds.
Just as they were preparing to attack Lin Zitong.
A figure suddenly appeared above the telephone pole overhead.
It was Yan Shouyi!
The man stood empty-handed atop the pole, appearing exceptionally aloof under the moonlight.
Some noticed Yan Shouyi's presence, and their freshly mustered courage instantly extinguished.
"It's Yan Shouyi… Yan Shouyi is nearby!"
"With him here, even if we defeat his wife, we'll all still die in the end!"
"It seems like it's still not too late to turn back…"
The strength Yan Shouyi had displayed was truly astonishing. The scene of him cleaving Asura with his sword seemed etched into everyone's minds, refusing to fade.
Yan Shouyi's appearance at this moment brought immense pressure, making them feel a desire to retreat!
But at this moment, Yan Shouyi sat down and said indifferently:
"You fight your fight. Don't mind me. I won't make a move tonight."
Not make a move?
This meant letting Lin Zitong face them alone?!
What did this mean?
The crowd was bewildered, but they didn't doubt the truth of Yan Shouyi's words.
After all, this man had passed various trials when dealing with the reincarnation of Asura; he wouldn't lie easily.
The members of the Scarlet Flower Society began to speculate, believing Yan Shouyi had grown tired of his wife or had fallen out with Lin Zitong. Thus, he wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of his "common wife" and find a new love.
For men, wasn't it normal to grow tired of their partners? Especially a man as powerful as Yan Shouyi.
They projected their own base thoughts onto a noble person, and in doing so, quickly convinced themselves.
Their gaze towards Lin Zitong was no longer filled with fear.
"Beauty, your husband said it himself. Don't blame us today!"
A member of the Scarlet Flower Society laughed heartily, "Don't worry, before we kill you, we definitely won't waste this beautiful form of yours…"
*Puchi!*
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zitong thrust her spear forward, piercing his mouth!
She used the tip of her Red God Umbrella and stirred forcefully. The sharp spearhead instantly rolled within the man's mouth!
When she withdrew the Red God Umbrella, the man's mouth was already bleeding profusely. He spat out a large chunk of shredded flesh – his tongue, mangled by Lin Zitong!
How ruthless!
Upon seeing this, everyone couldn't help but twitch their eye corners.
This member of the Scarlet Flower Society, for speaking offensively, had his tongue cut out by Lin Zitong… Lin Zitong had the ability to kill him outright just now, but she didn't. Was her intention to torment him?
"Enough talk, let's fight."
A gentle breeze blew, making Lin Zitong's long hair flutter. Feeling annoyed, she tore a strip of cloth from her robe and tied her hair back.
Now, with a high ponytail, holding the Red God Umbrella, she possessed the aura of a female general like Yang clan's daughters or Hua Mulan!
The Scarlet Flower Society members came back to their senses, their faces hardening with resolve. They shouted and charged towards Lin Zitong!
For a moment, the street was filled with shouts of battle!
Yan Shouyi sat high above, looking down.
He saw that although the Scarlet Flower Society members were not ordinary people, they were no match for Lin Zitong.
They couldn't even get close to Lin Zitong, while her Red God Umbrella was slaughtering its way through the crowd!
Out of respect for the inheritors of folk sects, Lin Zitong did not kill them. Most were thrown out of the crowd with broken bones, or had their tendons severed before being discarded.
Killing was not Lin Zitong's intention; she was simply too heartbroken and needed an outlet.
Lu Jing's death had dealt her a great blow, and with the Black Bat Village Chief already dead, and Li Genmiao nowhere to be found, she had no way to vent her anger.
Now, the Scarlet Flower Society was her target.
Yan Shouyi's non-interference and non-assistance stemmed precisely from this reason; he wanted Lin Zitong to vent her emotions properly.
His gaze shifted, landing on Wu Tianfeng, who stood at the back of the crowd.
Wu Tianfeng had intended to escape in the chaos, but after Yan Shouyi appeared, he became much more compliant, standing still.
Presumably, this second-generation rich kid also knew that Yan Shouyi would never let him off.
If he tried to escape, Yan Shouyi would strike him down immediately, leading to an even swifter death.
Seeing Wu Tianfeng standing obediently in place, Yan Shouyi expressionlessly withdrew his gaze, thinking, This fellow isn't stupid.
At this point, the situation below began to change slightly.
The true powerhouses of the Scarlet Flower Society had retreated to the rear and were now showcasing their unique skills.
Corpse handlers, paper effigy makers, coffin carriers, illusionists…
They were all inheritors of folk sects, employing bizarre and peculiar techniques, some of which Yan Shouyi had never seen before.
As zombies, vengeful spirits, and paper figures were summoned, the number of people on the street not only didn't decrease but actually increased!
Standing on the ground, floating in the air, they completely surrounded Lin Zitong, launching wave after wave of attacks, giving her no chance to breathe!
"So many of us have joined forces, and you are all alone. How can you fight us!!" some Scarlet Flower Society members shouted excitedly, as if they could already see the dawn of victory.
But at this moment, Lin Zitong let out a dismissive scoff.
These Scarlet Flower Society members had been rampant in Yuzhou for too long, forgetting the most basic principle of combat.
Know your opponent – she was from the Lu Mountain Sect. The Lu Mountain Sect had always excelled not in hand-to-hand combat, but in ghost control techniques!
A disciple of the Lu Mountain Sect would never be alone!
Lin Zitong shook her soul-summoning bell, and three figures instantly appeared beside her!
They were the ghost kingess Peach Blossom Ying, the samurai spirit Kurokawa Riku, and the thousand-year-old female ghost Lian He!
The appearance of the three immediately put immense pressure on the Scarlet Flower Society members.
Especially Peach Blossom Ying. Although she wore a red dress and was stunningly beautiful, anyone with a bit of cultivation could sense that she was a powerful ghost king!
"Miss… Oh my, so many people!"
Peach Blossom Ying, holding a small red fan, pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth. Then she excitedly said, "Can all these people… be killed?"
Lin Zitong replied calmly, "Criple them if you can. If they remain defiant after being crippled, the power of life and death is entirely in your hands."
Hearing this, Peach Blossom Ying lowered her fan, licked her bright red lips with her tongue, as if she had been starving for a long time.
"Then… this servant shall not be polite!"
With that, Peach Blossom Ying plunged directly into the crowd, initiating a one-sided massacre!!
Setting aside the members of the Scarlet Flower Society, the evil spirits they summoned were enough to provide a feast for the three ghosts.
Therefore, after Peach Blossom Ying rushed out, Kurokawa Riku and Lian He could no longer restrain themselves and charged into the crowd!
