Chapter 276: My Young Master Is Rich
Outside the capital of Yan Country, Emperor Yan and Chu He faced each other!
Emperor Yan stared at Chu He and asked coldly, “Why have you tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate me time and time again? Are you under someone’s orders? You’re a talent. If you’re under someone’s orders, as long as you’re willing to submit to me, I’m willing to give you a lifetime of glory!”
To be honest, Emperor Yan wasn’t confident either. After all, he had just broken through to the Heaven Rank not long ago. Although he had some trump cards, he couldn’t guarantee his victory against Chu He.
It was best not to fight if possible.
Besides, if he could really take Chu He under his wing, having more Heaven Rank experts wouldn’t be a bad thing.
However, before that, he had to ask about Chu He’s origins!
Chu He looked at Emperor Yan and shook his head. “No one instructed me. I want to kill you only because I want to kill you! I want to avenge my parents!”
This time, he did not hide anything!
Last time in the palace, he was about to fail. Even if Emperor Yan asked him, he would not answer.
If he said it then, wouldn’t it make his enemy happy for no reason?
This time, it was different.
As a Heaven Rank cultivator, he was confident that he could fight the Yan Emperor!
“Enemies? Parents?” Emperor Yan was puzzled.
Chu He shouted as his sword intent soared into the sky. He stared at Emperor Yan and said, “I’ll let you die today! My surname is Chu, and my name is He. I am a descendant of the royal family of Qi Country, and I will kill you here today!”
“Hahahaha! I was wondering who it was! So it’s a slave from a fallen country!” At this point, Emperor Yan already understood that the two of them had no room to turn hostility into friends.h.i.+p.
Since that was the case, he no longer spoke politely and instead mocked.
Killing his parents, destroying his family, and destroying his country. Such hatred could not be resolved no matter what.
The Emperor’s gaze turned sharp as he sneered. “I didn’t expect that there would be someone like you who escaped the net back then. It seems like someone used their life to pretend to be a member of the royal family of Qi Country.”
He was never one to be afraid of trouble if it came knocking.
A pillar of Golden Qi rose from his tall body!
Golden dragons revolved around him.
“Nine Dragons Bind!”
The ultimate technique of the Yan Country’s royal family.
Meanwhile, black fog shrouded Chu He’s body.
The Qi also slowly condensed, giving him the appearance of a demon G.o.d walking out of the abyss.
“Sword! Go!”
Chu He pointed out!
The sword at his waist turned into a black light that shot into the sky.
In an instant, black fog rose in the sky and flowed down the sky. Immediately after, it transformed into Sword Qi that gathered behind Chu He.
Chu He spread his arms and stared at Emperor Yan with cold eyes.
“Kill!”
The black sword swam in the air and suddenly returned to Chu He’s hand.
Chu He waved his sword angrily and swept it out. Sword Qi surged rampantly!
The countless Sword Qi condensed behind him moved along with it, like a violent wave that blotted out the sky.
Emperor Yan did not back down.
Nine dragons soared into the sky, and the dragon’s roar and sword’s cry seemed to drown each other out!
He shouted, “Nine Dragons G.o.d-Killing Fist!”
The nine golden dragons opened their mouths and blasted out with violent Heaven Earth Origin Qi.
Boom!
Black mist filled the sky as nine dragons danced wildly.
From between the Qi-force impact…
Two figures rushed out.
Even among Heaven Rank experts, their techniques could be considered top-notch.
Both of them had just broken through to the Heaven Rank, so neither of them had much battle experience.
They could be said to be evenly matched!
Both of them fought to kill the other!
In just a moment, the two of them had exchanged dozens of moves.
In the sky, the roars of dragons and the cries of swords resonated as black mist and golden light intertwined.
There was no way to determine the victor.
Chu He swept his sword out again and stabbed at Emperor Yan’s heart.
But at this moment, Emperor Yan did not even dodge!
Instead, he came forward and punched Chu He’s head!
In an instant, Chu He had an ominous feeling!
Emperor Yan’s actions were too obvious!
No matter what, at this distance, Emperor Yan would definitely die first.
If he said that there was nothing fishy here, Chu He would never believe it!
He suddenly retreated instead.
Sword Qi shot out from the longsword!
Splat!
Not out of his expectations…
The Sword Qi hit Emperor Yan’s clothes, but only cut through a layer!
There was actually a dragon robe inside!
Emperor Yan didn’t expect Chu He to be so vigilant. Instead, his fist hit the air.
“Hahaha! Brat, you’re really slippery!”
The Emperor of Yan’s body burst forth with energy, and the dragon robes on the outside shattered.
Within it was a tattered dragon robe.
The dragon robe was covered in blood, with many blade marks on it. It was obvious that the previous owner of the dragon robe had probably been embroiled in a vicious battle.
There were also nine vivid and lifelike golden dragons embroidered on the dragon robe.
Emperor Yan said, “Brat, if you know what’s good for you, then surrender! This dragon robe on me was made by the founding emperor of the Yan Country back then. It followed the emperor for many years and even when he fought with the Demon Emperor in the Demon Realm! After dying, it was brought back by the Saints! Although this robe is not special, it is not something you can break through! With this robe, I am invincible!”
Chu He gritted his teeth and didn’t say a word. Instead, he pounced forward.
With a backhand slash, he aimed towards Emperor Yan’s face instead!
Such empty words. Did he really think that Chu He could not break through them just because he said so?
Chu He didn’t believe him.
“Hmph!”
The Emperor gave a cold harrumph. His body flashed, and he dodged, counterattacking with a punch instead!
Chu He also dodged and mocked, “Heh heh, so why aren’t you standing there for me to slash? You sure are good at bragging.”
The dragon robe was clearly severely damaged.
Otherwise, how could any item worn by a Saint only have such mediocre functions. By right, Chu He as a first rank Heaven Rank, should not be the Yan Emperor’s match if the dragon robe was at its peak..
Chu He didn’t believe that the Emperor would be so kind as to persuade him to stop. It must be because the effect of this thing wasn’t that outstanding!
As expected, this thing could not protect his exposed skin.
The two of them started fighting again!
However, this time, Chu He’s Sword Qi only went for Emperor Yan’s head.
That dragon robe was still useful to a certain extent.
At the very least, Chu He didn’t think he could break through the places that the robe was protecting!
This way, Emperor Yan gradually gained the upper hand!
Chu He also began to feel anxious.
This fellow was even more troublesome than he had imagined.
He had thought that he would be able to crush everything with his Heaven Rank cultivation base, but who would have thought that the other party would also reach the same realm as him?
Both sides fought for an entire day and night!
With the Emperor Yan’s dragon robe on him, his Qi regeneration speed was extremely fast, and the position he needed to defend was even smaller.
After a long battle, he gradually gained the upper hand.
Boom! Both sides exchanged blows again and separated.
Blood flowed from the corner of Chu He’s mouth. As for Emperor Yan, his face was filled with confidence!
“You are not my match! Today is the day you die!”
Chu He’s gaze turned sharper. He was about to use his trump card that he didn’t want to use.
The golden horn on Chu He’s forehead drilled out bit by bit. The demonic aura on his body experienced another surge!
Chu He’s eyes also turned golden!
If it was someone who had fought with the demons before, they would immediately recognize that this was the royal bloodline of the Demonic Tribe!
Unfortunately, Emperor Yan really did not fight with the demons.
He frowned as he looked at Chu He.
What was going on with this guy? Why was there a golden horn on his forehead?
To him, this situation had gone completely beyond his understanding.
As the golden horn on his forehead appeared…
Chu He also exuded a domineering aura as he became more confident.
He gripped his longsword and said coldly, “The real battle has only just begun!”
Whoos.h.!.+
Chu He moved, and Emperor Yan’s eyes widened in shock.
“Fast!”
He was too fast.
Chu He’s speed had increased by nearly a third compared to before.
One had to know that the two of them were on par in every aspect. With Chu He’s increase in speed, the difference immediately surged!
“Ps.h.!.+”
When Chu He’s sword stabbed out, Emperor Yan waved his hand to block it.
Chu He’s sword stabbed into the back of his hand.
Chu He sneered slightly. “Your speed doesn’t seem to be fast enough!”
With that said, Chu He had already appeared in the other direction of Emperor Yan.
Although Emperor Yan’s defense was strong, he seemed to have turned into a human punching bag.
His speed only allowed him to barely withstand Chu He’s attacks.
However, as long as he wasn’t careful, he would be cut by Chu He.
Chu He’s sword constantly hovered near his head, and the more he attacked, the more blood was drawn.
The Yan Emperor gritted his teeth and stared at Chu He.
He muttered to himself, “I cannot lose! The foundation of the Yan Country cannot be lost in my hands!”
He knew very well that as long as he lost, the Yan Country’s royal family would definitely suffer Chu He’s ma.s.sacre!
He didn’t believe that Chu He would let the royal family of Yan Country off.
Back then, he had almost wiped out everyone related to the Royal Family of Qi Country. How could Chu He let the Royal Family of Yan Country off?
Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots! It was a very simple principle.
Emperor Yan’s blood gradually dyed his dragon robe red. The dragon robe gradually emitted a golden light.
Suddenly, Chu He stopped. Unknowingly, a shadow appeared behind Emperor Yan.
However, Chu He didn’t want to stop himself. Instead, his body no longer listened to him.
The illusory figure was dressed in the Nine Dragon Emperor Robe. His cold eyes bore down on Chu He.
It was as if he was looking down on an ant.
“Annoying brat!” Emperor Yan and Chu He heard this voice at the same time. Emperor Yan turned around in a daze and saw the shadow behind him.
“Ancestor!”
He exclaimed in joy.
He had seen this person before!
It was the emperor who founded the Chu Country back then. He looked exactly the same as in the portrait!
“The human world is still here. Very good…” The illusory figure sighed slightly.
As he spoke, he looked at Emperor Yan and coldly asked, “Why are you fighting him?”
“Descendants destroyed the Qi Country. He is a descendant of the country,” Emperor Yan answered honestly.
“Hahahaha!” The golden figure laughed maniacally. “Well done! Well done! You’ve done what I couldn’t do back then. Not bad! Not bad!”
As he spoke, he looked at Chu He and said disdainfully, “Is he Ji Cangqiong’s descendant? I didn’t expect that this trace of consciousness I left behind would actually have to kill the descendant of an old friend.”
“But that woman has always been in an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with that fellow from the Demon Race. She deserves to be destroyed!”
“It’s your honor to die in my hands!”
The illusory figure tapped lightly. Suddenly, nine True Dragons flew out from the dragon robe!
As though they had a physical body, they flew straight at Chu He.
The moment the True Dragon appeared, the world was filled with Dragon might.
The nine True Dragons slammed into Chu He, who couldn’t move at all.
Boom!
In an instant, the world fell silent.
Time seemed to have frozen.
Chu He suddenly looked up.
His eyes were filled with the vicissitudes of time, as if he could see through everything in the world.
It was just as cold as the eyes of the shadow.
It was as heartless as a master of creation looking down on all living things.
He gently extended a hand, which suddenly appeared extremely old.
“Is my descendant someone you can casually touch?”
With an extremely domineering voice, the nine True Dragons slowly shattered in the sky!
Emperor Yan’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped!
How was that possible?
The person behind him was a Saint!
One of the Nine Saints and Four Emperors back in yesteryear!
Although it was only a trace of consciousness, how could it be defeated by Chu He?
The illusory figure and Chu He looked at each other.
After a while, the shadow sighed and said, “I didn’t expect it to be you! Is this your backup plan?”
‘Chu He’ only spoke indifferently, “You should go. If our main bodies were to fight, you would have a 30% chance. But now, I have the True Demon Blood as my backer and this body as my foundation. You only have a trace of consciousness left. In a fight, you don’t even have a 5% chance of winning!”
The illusory figure fell silent.
He knew that the other party was telling the truth.
In this state, even if he continued to attack, it would not change anything.
He glanced at Emperor Yan and said coldly, “A true man knows when to yield and when to stand tall. Cultivate well!”
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly widened!
The surrounding s.p.a.ce shook rapidly.
Immediately after, Emperor Yan disappeared… and so did the illusory figure.
Back then, he had left behind a trace of his consciousness in order to protect his descendants in the future!
From the looks of it, this was the only path left that he could take.
Chu He closed his eyes as the vicissitudes of life slowly faded from his body.
Chu He regained control of his body.
He had thought that he would die from that blow just now.
However, the Demonic Tribe figure in the depths of his consciousness seemed to have instantly controlled his body.
He took the blow for him.
Chu He’s eyes flashed as he felt some fear.
It didn’t feel good to have someone suddenly take control of his body.
He turned around and flew towards the capital of Yan Country.
Meanwhile, Emperor Yan had already reappeared thousands of miles away.
The worn dragon robe on his body completely dissipated the moment he landed.
It was as if it had never appeared before.
This Greater Teleportation had completely exhausted the strength of the ancestor.
Emperor Yan’s face was filled with grief and indignation!
He could already predict what terrible things would happen to Yan Country!
However, he knew that he could not go back!
He wanted to go to the northern border! He wanted to find the Yan Country’s ancestors and the Saint!
What happened to everyone working together to resist the demons?
Why did I get beaten up?
If he hadn’t broken through to the Heaven Rank, he might have died without the backup plan his forefather had left behind.
However, he forgot that before this, he had been researching how to use his Heaven Rank cultivation to obstruct other countries!
However, if the matter landed on him, that would not do.
He had to complain!
In the capital of Yan Country…
Chen Taiyang was rather worried!
Chu He had been gone for a long time and hadn’t returned.
She hoped that Chu He would succeed in his revenge.
In the small courtyard, this was where she and Chu He lived.
The two of them did not share a room, but they lived in the same courtyard.
Chen Taiyang kept pacing around anxiously.
Suddenly, a figure landed in the courtyard.
It was Chu He. However, at this moment, his body was filled with killing intent!
He went through the capital with his sword, and no one was his match.
He killed all the descendants of the Yan Country’s royal family that he could find.
As for anyone who dared to stop him…
All of them were killed with a single slas.h.!.+
No one could have expected that all the generals and officials of the Yan Country would suddenly be killed and the palace destroyed.
The originally strongest Country of Yan collapsed overnight!
That’s right, there was no one left that could step forward to take charge of the government affairs.
When the news spread, the first ones to be excited were the officials from all over the world, as well as the aristocratic families!
In all the feudal dynasties, once the royal family lost their authority, there would definitely be a rebellion.
After all, in everyone’s hearts, Emperor Yan was already dead.
Two Heaven Ranks had gone out, but one had returned to slaughter the entire royal family!
What did this mean?
How could Emperor Yan not be dead?
With Emperor Yan dead, and the other Heaven Rank elders of Yan Country unable to return, what did they have to be afraid of?
But these were all topics to be left for later.
In Chu He’s courtyard, Chen Taiyang was delighted when he saw Chu He. “You killed the emperor?”
Chu He shook his head. “He escaped! That guy broke through to the Heaven Rank.”
He explained concisely.
Chen Taiyang’s face fell. “Then can I still be the Empress?”
“You couldn’t have been the Empress anyway!” Chu He said indifferently. “Don’t think too much. I’m not interested in being the emperor.”
Chen Taiyang wasn’t convinced. “But you still can’t go and be a guard. You’re a Heaven Rank expert!”
“My young master is rich!”
“How rich?”
“His wealth can rival a country!”
Chen Taiyang curled her lips and said, “What’s the point if he’s not giving it to you?”
“Who said he doesn’t give his wealth? The rewards are never less than 10,000 taels!” Chu He was also very unconvinced.
Not to mention anything else, just him and Zhao Jin had never been lacking in spending!
“Back then, we were in the Hundred Flowers Pavilion…” At this point, Chu He suddenly realized something. He shouldn’t have said such things!
Indeed, there was a murderous glint in Chen Taiyang’s eyes.
“Hundred Flowers Pavilion?”
“A restaurant! Don’t think too much! That’s a very famous restaurant!”
“Oh?! Hehe! What a nice name for a restaurant!”
“It really is a restaurant.”
Chu He insisted and refused to let go.
Chen Taiyang rolled her eyes at his stubbornness and said, “Even if you don’t want to be the Emperor of Yan Country, don’t you want to reinstate the land of Great Qi?”
Chu He sighed faintly. “I originally had no parents. Now that I know my background, I wanted to take revenge. This is only right and proper. However, it’s fine if I don’t revive my country. I know that I’m only a swordsman in this life!”
“Since the country is dead, let it be!”
Chen Taiyang said bitterly, “I followed you not to eat sh*t with you. I want glory and wealth!”
“Haha, don’t worry, my young master has plenty of money! You will know when we go to Chu!”
Chu He still trusted in Su Wen’s wealth.
Now that he had gotten his revenge, one of his worries had been resolved.
However, he still missed his master and Su Wen.
If he wasn’t afraid that the Demonic Qi in his body would be exposed, Chu He might have gone to Nine Nether Island to take a look.
Meanwhile in the Demon Realm, Su Wen was lying in a horse pulled carriage.
Well, actually, it could not be said to be a horse. It was a vicious beast from the Demon World. Compared to the warhorses of the human world, it was much taller and st.u.r.dier.
However, itsis temperament was still relatively docile.
After being used to so many years of extravagance, Su Wen in the end chose to take the carriage.
Bai Yuexi sat beside Su Wen and said, “Senior Su, there’s really no such human child as you mentioned. We have already inquired about many cities and towns, but no one knows! How can there be humans in our Demon Realm?”
“I see…”
Su Wen grunted in response.
Bai Yuexi felt helpless at his tepid reply.
“How much longer until we leave the territory of the Demonic Tribe?”
Bai Yuexi looked at Su Wen suspiciously. He was a member of the Demonic Tribe, so how could he not know?
Suspicion rose in her heart..
