"Y-You! What do you mean by this! If you don't want to help, that's fine, but to kill people!" The head of the Luo family flew into a rage and rushed forward in one swift step. Several high-ranking officials followed behind, also intending to step forward and argue.
At that moment, the woman's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she flicked her finger. Several streams of finger force tore through the air. Before anyone could react, the four high-ranking officials, including the head of the Luo family, were pierced through the head in a single breath. The high-ranking officials of the Luo family didn't even have time to make a sound before they fell to the ground, dead.
"Ah! What... What's going on here!" The high-ranking officials of the Yu family and the Lin family looked at each other in shock. The woman's strength was so formidable that she had killed the high-ranking officials of the Luo family with a single finger flick.
"It can't be that she would kill without reason... Could it be that this young lady has a grudge against the Luo family?" Elder Lin Chen exclaimed.
"Yes, it's very likely... Judging by this woman's strength, she is at least a disciple of a sect. Luo Yan'er of the Luo family is currently in the Holy Heaven Sect. Perhaps she is an enemy of Luo Yan'er," a high-ranking official of the Yu family nodded.
The Lin family and the Yu family were not concerned about the lives of the Luo family. The most pressing matter was to deal with the beast tide; otherwise, all the worlds present, big and small, might be completely destroyed.
"I'll give it a try..." The head of the Yu family spoke and walked forward.
Seeing this, Lin Chen immediately said, "Don't be impulsive. The Luo family's fate serves as a warning. Don't get close to that woman!"
The head of the Yu family paid no heed to Elder Lin Chen's words. With the woman's strength, if she wanted to kill, who among the people of Flowing Cloud City could escape?
Moreover, the head of the Yu family believed that the woman wouldn't kill without reason. It was likely that she had a grudge against the Luo family, and perhaps the Luo family didn't know about it.
However, the head of the Yu family still kept a watchful eye. He handed the Stasis Codex to an elder, instructing him to use it to immobilize the woman if she made any dangerous moves.
...
It was strange that after the woman appeared in Flowing Cloud City, the fierce beasts in the distance did not continue their assault, giving everyone a moment to catch their breath.
Soon, the head of the Yu family approached the woman. He bowed respectfully and said, "Senior, I am Yu Tianze, the head of the Yu family in Flowing Cloud City..."
The head of the Yu family didn't care about the details; he first lowered his stance, as the saying goes, "A smiling face invites no blows."
However, halfway through his words, a cold light flashed in the woman's eyes, and the jade disc she had just lowered was raised again.
Seeing this, the head of the Yu family was terrified and tried to flee, but a golden light shot through the air and pierced the woman's brow.
"This woman... She's a demoness, a monster! Quickly, kill her!" An elder who had used the Stasis Codex to save the head of the Yu family's life was still in shock.
As soon as the elder of the Yu family finished speaking, a cold light shot from an unknown direction. With a "pu" sound, before anyone could react, the elder's head was severed from his body and flew far away.
Boom!
The headless body fell to the ground, dead.
"How is this possible!" The head of the Yu family was horrified, his eyes filled with fear as he stared at the woman. He clearly saw that it was the woman who had flicked her finger and severed the elder's head!
The Stasis Codex was their ancestral artifact, passed down from the ancestors of the Yu family for over a thousand years. Although it had become incomplete over time, even a high-ranking celestial spirit could be affected by it!
The woman didn't speak, but she flicked her finger again, piercing the head of the head of the Yu family.
Thud! The head of the Yu family fell to the ground, his body convulsing several times before he died.
At this moment, everyone from the various families in Flowing Cloud City was stunned. In just a few breaths, the high-ranking officials of the Luo family and the Yu family were all killed by this mysterious woman. She hadn't spoken a single word, and no one knew her reason for killing.
Who would have thought that this woman, whose beauty was unparalleled and who could make one's heart tremble, would be so ruthless, killing without hesitation!
"Monster, I'll fight you to the death!" The remaining high-ranking officials of the Yu family, driven by anger, rushed forward without a second thought.
However, before the high-ranking officials of the Yu family could get close to the woman, they were pierced through by an invisible finger force and died on the spot.
In the next second, everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter. Even the fierce beasts, who were now only driven by instinct, were terrified, looking at the woman and howling in fear.
Hearing the howls of the fierce beasts, the woman's brows furrowed even more. She waved her jade disc, and a gale of wind swept through the air, carrying a terrifying destructive force.
The gale swept through, and the mother and baby apes were torn into pieces first. Then, the gale continued, enveloping hundreds of fierce beasts of all sizes. In a few breaths, the terrifying beast tide was completely annihilated, with not a single one escaping.
Suddenly, the flying bird Lin Hao was riding seemed to be frightened and let out a screech.
Lin Hao broke out in a cold sweat and, without thinking, jumped off the bird as fast as he could.
Boom! The flying bird Lin Hao was riding was also torn into pieces by the gale.
...
"Hao, are you alright!" The head of the Lin family and Elder Lin Chen quickly rushed forward to help Lin Hao up. They had thought he had been killed by the gale.
"I'm fine," Lin Hao shook his head.
Elder Lin Chen sighed. He never thought that the beast tide wouldn't destroy Flowing Cloud City, but a madwoman from somewhere would come and kill them all.
"That woman is seriously injured," Lin Hao said softly.
Hearing this, the head of the Lin family was stunned. "Hao, how do you know?"
"Look for yourself," Lin Hao said.
Elder Lin Chen and the others looked at the woman and saw a trace of fresh blood at the corner of her mouth.
"This madwoman is injured. We should join forces to kill her, or we will die!" The remaining officials of the Luo family shouted angrily.
The Yu family, Luo family, and Wang family quickly agreed.
"Head of the Lin family, this is a good opportunity. Let's take a chance!" The officials of the three families urged.
"Alright!" The head of the Lin family nodded. It was better to fight than to wait for death. With the woman injured, they might have a chance to kill her!
"Don't go."
Just as the head of the Lin family agreed, Lin Hao suddenly spoke.
"What did you say?!" The officials of the three families were furious. This boy was afraid of death and preferred to wait for death rather than take a chance!
"I said don't go. I advise you to abandon this idea. Even if the woman is injured, she is not someone we can deal with," Lin Hao said seriously. He wasn't joking.
Even if ordinary high-ranking celestial spirits came here, they would likely be killed by the woman with a single finger flick.
"Lin Hao, don't talk nonsense. Head of the Lin family, are you going or not? Are you going to listen to a disciple at this critical moment?!" The officials of the three families shouted angrily.
"Not going... Everyone, don't go. I also think that the woman is not someone we can deal with," Elder Lin Chen said this time, choosing to trust Lin Hao.
With Elder Lin Chen saying this, the head of the Lin family could only follow their thoughts and hold back.
"Lin family, cowards!" The officials of the three families sneered and, along with some local families, rushed toward the woman.
With their combined forces, numbering around seventy or eighty, they had a slight chance of success in killing the seriously injured woman!
