Chapter 8, I Am the Executioner (Part 2)

Boom, boom, boom, with three thunderous sounds, a large crowd suddenly appeared at the execution ground beneath the Immortal Slaying Platform. Yang Chen made a rough estimate and found there were already several hundred people. Moreover, the number was continuously increasing.

Kill them! Kill them!

After entering the Immortal Slaying Platform, the ring remained in its original form. This style of ring was once owned by Yang Chen in his previous life; it was a token of service to the Heavenly Court. In addition, it also served as a merit accumulation token and a decent storage ring. The one in Yang Chen's hand is quite special, as it is the only ring issued by the Heavenly Court exclusively to mortals.

A series of events unfolded, merging with a murderous intent, and Yang Chen did not even realize what kind of change was occurring within him. Holding the deadly knife and standing there, he felt an overwhelming surge of killing intent. His entire body seemed to be enveloped in a faint red glow. With each blink of his eyes, sharp waves of killing intent emanated from him, sending chills down people's spines

The spacious execution ground, a place for binding prisoners, is currently empty. However, Yang Chen knows that soon it will be filled with unbelievable immortals, all awaiting their turn to be beheaded by him

The will of the Immortal Slaying Platform no longer struggled, willingly accepting Yang Chen's thoughts. The entire Immortal Slaying Platform seemed to come alive, transforming freely under Yang Chen's control

Having long been prepared, he would naturally not be controlled by the Immortal Slaying Platform. Firmly holding onto his true self, Yang Chen consistently upheld within his heart, I am the executioner! No matter how fiercely the fierce will within his body surged and struggled, it could never control Yang Chen.

If Yang Chen had just started to act, perhaps the murderous intent of the blade would have seized the opportunity to invade his true heart once again. However, Yang Chen resolutely restrained himself, sitting still on the platform, and the murderous blade could only emerge again to display its ferocity.

I am the executioner! Yang Chen's eyes gradually brightened as he spoke this resolutely. The deadly knife in his hand was held firmly, exuding a sense of seamless connection, devoid of anything else. Raising the blood-stained long knife, Yang Chen squinted and added, "You are merely the knife in the executioner's hand."

What is this? Upon seeing the faint red light emanating from the body, Yang Chen was taken aback. Back when they were hunting down the old demon Yi, it was precisely because of his excessive killings that he was enveloped in a layer of blood-red light. Although Yang Chen now only had a faint glow, it seemed to exude a murderous aura similar to that of the old demon Yi, unmistakably marking him as an unparalleled fiend.

Very well, I am the executioner! Feeling this sense of submission, Yang Chen then stood up holding the knife

At last, the will of the murderous blade grew increasingly feeble, and under Yang Chen's steadfast resolve, it began to merge and blend with the killing intent within him, which had claimed the lives of over one hundred people in the mortal realm

However, Yang Chen did not take the stage directly; instead, he observed from the side. The layout of the Immortal Slaying Platform was quite simple, consisting of a kitchen for Yang Chen's food and drink, a small room for his rest, and a place for bathing and relieving oneself. The food and drink would be arranged over there, requiring no effort from Yang Chen. In the room, there was also a seamless garment styled like that of an executioner, designed to protect against dust and water, available for Yang Chen to wear. Everything Yang Chen needed for his life could be found here. The food and drink would be arranged over there, requiring no effort from Yang Chen.

In fact, this will is not the will of the fierce blade, but rather the will of the entire Immortal Slaying Platform. The fierce blade itself is also considered a part of the Immortal Slaying Platform. Since the emergence of the Immortal Slaying Platform, it has been engaged in slaying immortals and demons, with an overwhelming intent to kill that is almost irresistible. If it were any other person, they would be controlled by the Immortal Slaying Platform; however, this time, the mortal who entered the Immortal Slaying Platform is Yang Chen

Yang Chen leisurely completed all these tasks: drinking water, eating, bathing, and changing clothes. Afterward, he took up the fierce blade and ascended the Immortal Slaying Platform. Once seated, he began to carefully examine the ring on his hand.

Yield

Obey me

This murderous aura, once merged, could no longer be halted. The entire process was completed with an unstoppable momentum, akin to a force breaking through bamboo. In no time, the will of the deadly blade was completely dissolved within Yang Chen's own murderous intent

... ...

No one expected that Yang Chen was well aware of all this. Who could have known that in his previous life, Yang Chen had already experienced an extraordinary existence? In this life, it is merely to prevent those regrettable events from reoccurring

The sudden emergence of a target caused the dormant will of the fierce blade within Yang Chen to surge wildly once again. The intense desire to slay living beings and to strip flesh from bone nearly overwhelmed Yang Chen's resolve.

Fortunately, I was well prepared! Yang Chen smiled but did not pay much attention. Holding the knife, he walked forward. That high platform was the true Immortal Slaying Platform, the place for exterminating immortals and slaughtering demons

The fierce blade was tightly gripped in hand, trembling incessantly under the influence of the Immortal Slaying Platform, as if it wanted to leap from Yang Chen's grasp and actively slay immortals. However, Yang Chen held on firmly, with his other hand clutching the sword, never allowing the fierce blade any opportunity.

With a roar, all the murderous intent surged into Yang Chen's body, which he absorbed without any hesitation. In his mind, Yang Chen could only remember one thing: that he had just shouted, "I am the executioner!"

At last, the struggle of the Immortal Slaying Platform ended in failure once again. The trembling executioner's blade gradually quieted down, and within Yang Chen's heart, the fervor to slay those prisoners dissipated. It seemed that the will of the Immortal Slaying Platform had no choice but to yield, acknowledging Yang Chen's identity as the executioner

You must firmly remember that you are merely the Execution Platform, just a knife. Yang Chen once again solidified his confidence in his heart: "I am the executioner; here, I am the one in charge. Only I can decide whom to execute and when to execute!"

At last, Yang Chen firmly remembered that he was the executioner, and he had previously felt that the will of the murderous blade seemed to dissolve too quickly, which was somewhat illogical. Indeed, after having the goal of slaying immortals, it reappeared once again

Regardless of the type of temptation or intimidation, Yang Chen merely clings to the clarity within his heart. I am the executioner! This statement directly determines who is the master and who is the subordinate. Even if the will of the murderous blade employs various methods, it remains powerless against Yang Chen's true intentions.

Yang Chen observed all of this but made no move, continuing to sit quietly on the Immortal Slaying Platform, eyes closed in meditation. With so many people appearing on the platform, suddenly, the fierce will of the blade within Yang Chen began to stir once more.

Yang Chen's body has become a brand new battlefield. However, the scene is completely different from before. If it can be said that previously the will of the fierce blade attempted to influence Yang Chen through the blade itself, compelling him to submit to its will, now it has transformed into the fierce blade fighting on foreign ground, having fully entered Yang Chen's body

I will take you to slay immortals
