I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 609 - 607 Kill Them All

The Superpower Special Forces on the scene saw Zhao Ling’s transformation and were all reflexively ready to unleash their superpowers, their eyes twinkling with multicolored brilliance.

Zhao Ling’s towering body was like a monument as she looked down at the prostrate Venerable Qin, suddenly feeling her own insignificance.

The hall was deathly still, everyone knew that Venerable Qin was not in for a pleasant fate.

Zhao Ling said, "Venerable Qin, after so many years, you don’t want to talk to me, reminisce a little?"

Venerable Qin continued to lie there in silence, meanwhile, a foul stench began to rise in the hall.

Zhao Ling laughed. Venerable Qin was so nervous and afraid, or maybe it was her age and frailty that couldn’t withstand such a massive emotional assault, that she had been scared into defecating.

With a thought from Zhao Ling, thorns extended from all around the hall, piercing into Venerable Qin’s armpits, groin, and chest. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, her splendid silk robes ripped into shreds.

Venerable Qin was impaled by thorns in midair, grinning in pain. Zhao Ling waved her hand, and the thorns began to move inside her, under her skin bulging like finger-thick serpents. The thorny vines drilled into her flesh and came out the other side, then bore in again, causing bones to crack and meat to shred.

In just a few moments, one of Venerable Qin’s legs clattered to the floor, followed by the other, and then both arms, in a true separation of flesh and bone.

The Superpower Special Forces watched in silence, and the sixty-plus people were both compelled and terrified to look. After all, they might be dying in the same way very soon.

People wondered why Venerable Qin, despite the unbearable pain, had not passed out. She wasn’t known for being particularly stoic, and at such an advanced age, she surely couldn’t endure such torment. How was she still so resilient?

It wasn’t that her will was strong, but soon, as Venerable Qin’s body was divided by the roaming thorns and her organs were exposed, everyone could see that her heart was wrapped with several green vines, and her vital organs were also bound by thorns. Two green vines had entered her intestines, injecting something into her, which meant that although Venerable Qin was now dismembered and disemboweled, Zhao Ling had intervened to keep her alive and conscious, enduring this endless torture.

Venerable Qin’s intestines were partly replaced by green vines, her orifices for excretion mercilessly probed by two thorns, as blood mixed with excrement dripped continuously. Zhao Ling approached to admire Venerable Qin’s innards, manipulating the vines to squeeze her stomach, forcing the contents up through her mouth.

Now, all that remained of Venerable Qin was a head and a single intact spine, while the rest of her body had been dismembered, her organs exposed and fixed in place with vines and thorns by Zhao Ling, becoming a totem. She was still alive and would live forever like this, but such an existence was coupled with endless pain.

Zhao Ling said with a laugh, "Venerable Qin, after all, they call you Qiansui, why don’t you live like this for a thousand years? After that, I might consider whether or not to kill you."

As she finished speaking, she heard someone repeatedly kowtowing, shifting her gaze to see an old man bowing incessantly and admitting guilt before her.

"I deserve to die! I deserve to die! Everything was Venerable Qin’s doing! I had no choice but to obey!" Li Lianhua pleaded for mercy.

Zhao Ling asked, "Who is this?"

A member of the Superpower Special Forces stepped forward and said, "He’s Venerable Qin’s favorite, the real power behind the throne for the past dozen years, Li Lianhua. He even claims to be the ’Savior of the Nation.’"

"Savior of the Nation? Which nation did he save?" Zhao Ling sneered.

"According to Venerable Qin’s propaganda, on the night you mutated, it was Li Lianhua who led the troops against you and successfully ’killed’ you," the Superpower Special Forces member explained.

"It was all that old whore’s schemes! I was just a poor scapegoat!" Li Lianhua exclaimed.

Hearing this, Zhao Ling couldn’t help but laugh. Then the Superpower Special Forces laughed as well, followed by the laughter of over sixty others, all except Li Lianhua.

"I’ve been wronged, Emperor! I’ve been eagerly awaiting your return every day! I’ve endured disgrace and heavy burdens," Li Lianhua said.

Zhao Ling’s foot came crashing down, turning him into a puddle of flesh.

"Kill his entire family, everyone related to him, those who worked for him, his mistresses, his adopted relatives, all of them, leave no one alive," Zhao Ling said coldly.

At that moment, a young girl suddenly stood up in the crowd, crying out, "Wait! Wait! Emperor! I’ve been wronged! I don’t deserve to die! I shouldn’t die!"

Zhao Ling saw that the girl was little more than 10 years old, her face streaked with tears, looking adorable with two braided pigtails, and then said, "Who are you? What’s your relationship with this old man?"

"I... my name is Xixi, I was sent from our village to serve as his maid," Xixi said.

"Are you his personal maid?" Zhao Ling asked.

Xixi quickly nodded, saying, "I’m just someone who serves others. When you came to capture him, I was still washing his feet. I have no blood relation to him at all!"

Zhao Ling saw a look of longing for recognition on the girl’s face and asked, "Do you know how bad this old man was?"

"I know! I know! There are lots of people in our village who hate him, but everyone is too scared to speak out," Xixi said.

"You are his personal maid, you washed his feet, you had close contact with him every day. Do you know what I would do if I were you?" Zhao Ling asked.

Xixi was stunned and couldn’t think of how to answer after a long while.

"I would take his life while his eyes were closed," Zhao Ling said.

Xixi’s expression froze there; it was something she had never thought of doing.

"You wasted such a good opportunity and allowed him to harm the nation; you deserve to die," Zhao Ling said with a smile.

Xixi’s face turned ashen, standing there motionless.

"Your whole village hates him, yet you were still sent to him, all for the sake of seeking safety. Your village deserves to die as well," Zhao Ling said again.

She looked toward the members of the Superpower Special Department and said, "Find out which village this girl is from and kill everyone from that village."

The members of the Superpower Special Department nodded.

"Kill them all, leave no one alive. Not one is innocent," Zhao Ling waved her hand.

As soon as the words fell, the Superpower Special Department chambered their weapons and began firing into the crowd begging for mercy. Rifle bullets tore through flesh, carrying out the will of the knight. Soon, of the more than sixty people brought up, except for Venerable Qin, not a single one survived.

The vines and thorns binding Venerable Qin quickly transferred to Zhao Ling. Vines pierced into Zhao Ling’s navel, as she continued to supply energy for Venerable Qin. At this moment, Venerable Qin had become Zhao Ling’s ornament, screaming in agony, never tiring, never dying, forever suffering.

Zhao Ling stepped over the bodies and walked to the edge of the tree canopy. The era of the Great Purge of Yin Country had begun, to truly transform the nation, only through killing.
