Ascending the Heavens as an Evil Godchapter 158: harem of corpses

On Heaven and Earth Star, Tang family residence.

"Young Master Lin, this woman named Lan Si was brought in by one of our family’s juniors. I’m also unaware of her specific origin!" An elder in brocade clothes was standing in front of Lin Tian, complaining.

This person was the head of the Tang family, Tang Bo. Lan Si sat next to him and Lin Tian, her face full of innocence.

Before Lin Tian even spoke, the dozen or so women behind him had already surrounded them.

"How can you allow a woman of unknown origin inside your home?"

"You might not know her, but what about Tang Xuan? Have her come out and confront us!"

"That's right! If Gu Nan doesn't return, you can apologize to our Sister Jing in his place!"

"Apologize! Apologize!"

Faced with the siege of over a dozen beautiful girls, Tang Bo could only respond with a bitter smile as he tried to placate each one. While apologizing, his heart also felt extremely stifled.

He was the distinguished patriarch of the Tang family. Since when has he ever experienced something like this?

Speaking of which, it was quite strange. He’d always managed his family rather strictly, so his family’s servants rarely used their status to bully others.

But today, two foolish servants actually taunted Lin Tian right in front of their front gates… How could such a thing happen?

Tang Bo wouldn't even have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

But the damage was already done, and his family inexplicably offended a Dao Lord powerhouse.

Fortunately, Tang Bo responded quickly. After understanding the situation, he immediately ordered Tang Xuan to hide while he took Lan Si along, trying to resolve the situation.

"Alright, alright. Don’t bully the Tang family head." Finally, Lin Tian clapped and motioned for the women to step down, preventing the Tang residence from turning into a chatty street market.

It's just that after such an uproar, Fu Jing's relationship with the other women improved greatly, and she even started calling them sisters.

Even Fu Jing herself didn’t know why she, someone who used to be firmly against harems, seemed to accept the dozen women for no reason…

Lin Tian went to Tang Bo and said, "Patriarch Tang, I know this matter has nothing to do with you. I'm only here to find Gu Nan."

Tang Bo seemed to heave a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Young Master Lin, thank you for your understanding…"

At this time, Lan Si cut in, "If you’re just looking for him, then this also has nothing to do with me, right?"

"How can it have nothing to do with you?" When Fu Jing heard this, she immediately walked over angrily. "You and Gu Nan are on the same side!"

Fu Jing had seen Lan Si and Gu Nan traveling together on the starship.

"Jing’er, listen to me." Lin Tian, however, said firmly, "We only punish the evil leader. We must not hurt the innocent… Although I have no respect for heaven and earth in this life, all I seek is a clear conscience!"

When Lin Tian said this, the illusory forms of nine golden dragons circled him, as if roaring, and his figure suddenly seemed much more majestic.

And in the eyes of everyone present, a faint golden radiance seemed to be emanating from him. He didn’t resemble a mortal at all, as if he was an immortal or a Buddha.

"Big Brother Lin Tian…"

"Elder Brother Lin…"

All the women stared at him with eyes full of yearning. Even Fu Jing was immersed in this atmosphere, and her original goodwill towards Lin Tian gradually turned into an inexplicable feeling of admiration and worship.

Next to them, Tang Bo was also secretly frightened. In his perception, Lin Tian's image was elevated yet again, turning from someone he couldn’t offend to someone he absolutely must establish friendly relations with.

Only Lan Si wasn’t affected. After all, she possessed a Godhead. She just stared at Lin Tian curiously.

However, just when everyone’s attention was drawn to Lin Tian’s majestic aura, a figure leisurely walked in, completely ignoring all this, and stopped before Lan Si.

"Let's go,” the person said thus to Lan Si, not even sparing Lin Tian a glance.

His movements were so natural that Lin Tian and his party didn't even react in time.

It wasn’t until Lan Si obediently stood up and started walking outside that Fu Jing exclaimed, "He… He’s Gu Nan!"

"Him?" Lin Tian stared blankly, a bit confused as he studied this ordinary-looking youth.

He’d long gotten used to his opponents always being tall and handsome geniuses. All of them were arrogant jerks just asking for a beating.

But he couldn’t muster even an ounce of competitive spirit against this bland-looking fellow!

"He doesn't look very strong!" Among the women, a tall woman chuckled, "Sister Jing, your Big Sis will teach him a lesson!”

Then she actually shouted to Gu Nan, "Hey, you there! Gu something—you bullied our Sister Jing. I’ll forgive you if you can survive my throwing knife, how about it?"

Fu Jing was worried when she heard this, but Ling’er smiled reassuringly beside her. "Sister Jing need not worry. Sister Pearl comes from a family that uses throwing knives. Even Prodigious cultivators are wary of their throwing knives…"

As if to confirm her words, Pearl didn't bother waiting for Gu Nan’s response. She raised her hand and threw the blade.

This knife was as quick as lightning, heading straight for Gu Nan, who didn’t make any movements to dodge.

A smile had already appeared on Pearl’s face, but her expression suddenly changed in the next second.

There was a flash of white light, and the throwing knife flew back towards her at several times its original speed!

"Look out!" Lin Tian’s voice boomed, but speed wasn’t his forte. When he flew to Pearl, it was already too late…

The throwing knife was embedded in Pearl’s forehead, and the girl who was originally smiling like a flower had died with her eyes wide open.

"No!" Lin Tian’s eyes widened, almost shedding tears of blood as he held Pearl in his arms and screamed up at the sky.

"Sister Pearl!"

"Elder Sister Pearl! !”

The women also wailed in sorrow. Ling’er, who was the first to follow Lin Tian and also had the closest relationship with everyone, had already burst into tears.

Gu Nan looked like he suddenly remembered something when he saw this and asked Lan Si beside him, "Is that Lin Tian?"

"Yes." Lan Si nodded, then took two steps back, sensing that a large battle was about to break out.

Gu Nan finally understood. ‘So this is that child of destiny, the one who can be used to create over half of a mirror.’

The gaze with which he looked at Lin Tian immediately changed.

Lin Tian gently placed Pearl's corpse down with trembling hands and stood up.

He glared at Gu Nan, the veins bulging out on his face, and slowly enumerated every word, "You will pay…"

But before his words finished, Gu Nan's Blade of the Sanguine King had already arrived, and the crimson arc drawn by the blade sent him flying, crashing straight through three of the Tang family’s high-rise buildings.

"Brother Lin Tian…" Tears fell straight down from Ling’er’s round eyes, and she ran at Gu Nan. "You… I’m gonna kill you!"

What greeted her was naturally a slash of the blade, so the lovely little Ling’er fell down, dead on the spot.

"Ling’er!" He Bingyu shouted sorrowfully and jumped into the air, crazily circulating the internal energy in her body.

She raised both of her hands, and two huge Yin Yang fish appeared above her head, circling each other swiftly. "Heavenly Mystery Art, Last Style—Forbidden Technique · Reversing Heav–”

Swish!

Blade of the Sanguine King swung down, cutting both her and the fish in half—this brilliant student of the Heavenly Mystery Dao Lord didn’t have the chance to finish shouting the name of her move.

Besides Ling’er and He Bingyu, Lin Tian’s dozen or so women all exploded with potential when they realized that Lin Tian's life and death were uncertain, taking out their trump cards one after another.

Hidden weapons, poison, firearms, illusions… All kinds of skills dazzled the eyes.

Lin Tian’s harem covered almost 80% of the skills on the continent, but it's a pity that these skills were useless in front of Gu Nan.

No matter how many tricks they tried, no one could block a single strike from that blade.

In just a few seconds, the corpses of over a dozen beautiful girls were sprawled all over the floor. Except for Pearl, the first one to die from the throwing knife, none of them had intact corpses.

Among the ones who died by Gu Nan’s blade, the lightest injuries were severed arms and decapitated heads, while the majority were directly sliced in half.

Of the group of beautiful women, only Fu Jing remained. She joined the harem the latest and had the deepest fear of Gu Nan, so she didn't have the courage to attack him.

She just looked as pale as paper as she watched Gu Nan approach her step by step. Her legs went weak, and she suddenly crumpled to the ground.

Lin Tian, who had been sent flying, managed to regain his senses only now. He stared at the long gash on his chest and rushed back to the battleground, but what he saw was a scene that made him want to tear his eyes out.

His dozen or so women had turned into chopped bodies…

"Ahhh!" Lin Tian roared at the sky in agony. He rushed at Gu Nan like a crazed demon and threw a punch with all his power.

His Nine Dragons Body Tempering Art was used to the extreme, and his physical strength almost reached the limit of Prodigious Realm. The power of this one punch could practically kill Dao Lords.

However, his opponent was Gu Nan. Gu Nan doesn’t need almost—he is the limit.

Gu Nan’s blade drew a gentle arc, and Lin Tian's right arm was cut off directly; blood gushed out.

But Lin Tian wasn’t dismayed in the slightest. Instead, he laughed wildly. "Die! Die for me!"

It turned out that his severed right arm didn't stop. It swooped down with unparalleled ferocity, the nine dragons coiled around it.

He traded an arm for a chance to hit Gu Nan!

Thwack!

This punch hit Gu Nan on the shoulder, making a dull noise. Time seemed to have stopped at this moment.

Lin Tian stared at Gu Nan intensely, but the latter still didn’t fall, so the grin on his face gradually froze.

After a while, Lin Tian's severed arm had already fallen to the ground. Only then did Gu Nan reach out and rub the spot where he’d been hit while muttering, "Protagonist halos really are powerful. Even I feel some pain from this."

As he spoke, the force of shadows poured out around him and completely wrapped around the stunned Lin Tian, directly dispersing all the internal energy in his body and sealing his five senses in passing.

Gu Nan still wanted to take him back to White Mist and use his fate to create a mist mirror, so of course he couldn’t let Lin Tian die.

But at this moment, a voice came from mid-air, "Mr. Gu, please wait… We’ve been hunting Lin Tian for a long time. Is it possible for Mr. Gu to give him to us?"

At the same time six new figures appeared—they were precisely the six great Dao Lords. Fu Yong the swordmaster was the one who spoke up.
