ALL NOVEL Chapter 166
The Martial Emperor had a simple thought.
Since he couldn’t shake the mysterious forces behind the nine cycles of reincarnation, he would eliminate Jiang Chen in the real world.
No matter what Jiang Chen’s purpose was, anyone who dared to interfere with him must die.
On the other hand, after hearing the Martial Emperor’s words, Lin Feng was stunned and overjoyed.
Although he couldn’t discern the Martial Emperor’s exact cultivation level, he knew it was definitely beyond his ability to contend with.
Jiang Chen wouldn’t last a single round in his hands.
Happiness came so unexpectedly. Just moments ago, Lin Feng was at his wit’s end, even considering how loud he would scream when getting beaten.
But now, Someone was looking for trouble with Jiang Chen! And it was the kind who wanted Jiang Chen dead!
“Haha! This is fate!” Lin Feng laughed loudly.
“Fate?”These words reached the Martial Emperor’s ears, and he slowly turned his head, his crimson eyes staring intently at Lin Feng.
“Uh…”
Lin Feng instinctively shrank his neck.
“Why did you provoke him?”
Old Man Tianji scolded, “This man is bathed in blood, with golden patterns splitting his bones. He must possess the Martial Emperor Physique!”
The Martial Emperor Physique? Wasn’t that Mu Kui?
Lin Feng was shocked! He knew Mu Kui was strong, but he hadn’t realized he was this formidable!
Just standing in front of him, Lin Feng felt utterly devoid of any courage to resist.
“I sense the aura of a great emperor from this person. This aura is very faint as if it has lost its imperial essence.”
Old Man Tianji analyzed with grave concern, “If I’m not mistaken, this Mu Kui is probably the reincarnation of a great emperor. And now, the emperor’s memories dominate the body. In other words, the one before you was once a true great emperor!”
A… great emperor?!
Waves of shock surged in Lin Feng’s heart, and he swallowed hard. Such an incredible being was right in front of him? And staring at him at this moment?
If this great emperor suddenly made a move against him, wouldn’t he be done for?
He could feel that the great emperor before him was looking at him with extreme malice.
In that increasingly violent and crazed aura, a clear intent to kill was emerging!
“Gulp…”
After a hard swallow, Lin Feng’s heart sounded the alarm, and he was drenched in cold sweat.
“Mu Kui?”
At that moment, Jiang Chen arrived.
Upon hearing this, the Martial Emperor withdrew his gaze from Lin Feng and turned to look at Jiang Chen.
Their eyes met.
“I am the Martial Emperor. My heart knows only martial arts, and I walk the path of breaking the heavens. Those who obstruct me will be killed, those who block my way will die!!” The Martial Emperor spoke coldly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s brow furrowed.
He instantly understood that the seal on Mu Kui’s Martial Emperor memories had been broken.
And at this moment, standing before him was not Mu Kui, but the Martial Emperor who walked the path of breaking the heavens.
This turn of events was absurdly off the rails.
Throughout the nine cycles of reincarnation, Mu Kui often fell into a state of rage but never broke through the seal of the Martial Emperor’s memories.
But now, who knows which idiot had caused Mu Kui to break the memory seal, allowing this mad Martial Emperor to descend and take over the body.
What’s more, this Martial Emperor was clearly coming for him with hostile intent! Jiang Chen first probed the Martial Emperor’s cultivation level, then found…
He couldn’t understand it at all!
Undoubtedly, with such a vast difference in cultivation, he couldn’t win even if he had ancient artifacts.
The Buddha’s Six Prisons could shield all divine senses, even his protector Chen Sheng wouldn’t be able to detect what was inside.
In other words, he wouldn’t be able to escape today unless he crushed his final life-saving jade slip.
Crushing that jade slip was the last resort, as it would bring many powerful members of the Jiang family across domains.
With the strength of the Jiang family, suppressing a great emperor who only had memories was not difficult.
But doing so would hasten the downfall of the Jiang family!
The situation became extremely troublesome and dangerous.
For his own sake and for the Jiang family, Jiang Chen had to take another approach.
Gritting his teeth, he pointed at Lin Feng’s nose and said, “This man is the Son of Destiny! Kill him and you can defy the heavens!”
With these words, the Martial Emperor shuddered.
His gaze once again turned towards Lin Feng, his eyes filled with a murderous intent to kill.
Jiang Chen’s attempt to divert disaster onto Lin Feng stunned him.
Lin Feng quickly realized that this Martial Emperor probably had a grudge against the heavens, which was why he harbored such great hostility towards him, the Son of Destiny.
“I am not the hea…” Lin Feng hastily denied.
“Shut up!!”
Old Man Tianji interrupted loudly, more panicked than ever, “Others may deny your identity as the Son of Destiny, but you cannot! If you do, you will eventually be abandoned by the heavenly dao!”
This made Lin Feng instinctively close his mouth.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
The Son of Destiny was the darling of heaven and earth. If he truly denied his identity, it would be like abandoning his fate.
Naturally, he would eventually be abandoned by the heavenly dao. He had always known this, but he almost blurted it out in a moment of urgency.
Seeing him suddenly fall silent, Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Lin Feng truly abandoned his fate, then his own plans for ascension might be ruined.
After all, without the blessing of destiny, Lin Feng’s character would likely lead to his death sooner or later.
The reason he had sold out Lin Feng was because he knew that even if the Martial Emperor really made a move, Lin Feng, being favored by destiny, would most likely not die.
Of course, “most likely” did not mean “definitely.”
Jiang Chen admitted that there was a gamble involved, but that was still better than biting the dust himself, right?
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Seeing the Martial Emperor’s killing intent growing stronger, Lin Feng closed his eyes in despair.
The enemy was too strong. He had no way to resist and could only bet on destiny! Jiang Chen also quietly circulated the Azure Lotus Sword Art, planning to flee the moment the Martial Emperor made his move.
But unexpectedly, the Martial Emperor suddenly withdrew his gaze and shouted, “Jiang Chen, die!!”
Jiang Chen was baffled. What grudge, what grievance?
The Martial Emperor, who had self-destructed his imperial essence and sealed his memories to defy the heavens, was ignoring the Son of Destiny and turning to kill him instead?
Could it be that madmen really can’t be reasoned with?
What he didn’t know was, in the eyes of the Martial Emperor.
Defying the heavens meant defying the heavenly dao, and Lin Feng was at best the son of the heavenly dao. Killing him wouldn’t truly defy the heavens.
But as long as he killed Jiang Chen, he would surely be able to break free from the control of that mysterious power.
After all, that power was clearly aiding Jiang Chen.
Lin Feng was also stunned, but soon his heart blossomed with joy again.
He looked at the Martial Emperor with new respect.
He had thought he was dealing with a madman who defied the heavens, but it turned out he was a good person!
Yes, a good person. In Lin Feng’s view, anyone who opposed Jiang Chen and wanted to kill him was a good person!
Just as the Martial Emperor raised his fist and was ready to annihilate Jiang Chen with one punch, Jiang Chen pulled out a jade slip in his hand.
“Ah!!”
The Martial Emperor suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony.
The intense pain made his aura fluctuate wildly, and the blood light in his eyes gradually faded.
The Martial Emperor realized that this was Mu Kui resisting!
Even though Mu Kui had been suppressed by him and should have fallen into a deep sleep, he still instinctively tried to stop him from attacking Jiang Chen!
“Coward!! A coward controlled by others!” The Martial Emperor cursed loudly.
Mu Kui’s resistance grew stronger, and his cultivation level rapidly declined.
In just a few breaths, he fell out of the upper four realms.
Sensing that his cultivation level was still dropping, the Martial Emperor immediately threw a punch despite the pain!
“Jiang Chen! Die!!” He roared.
And then that punch landed on Lin Feng’s body!
“???”
Jiang Chen was dazzled.
He watched, eyes wide, as Lin Feng was sent flying dozens of feet away, his blood tracing an arc through the air before he hit the ground.
Lin Feng was even more confused.
“Wasn’t Jiang Chen supposed to be the one dying? Why are you hitting me?!”
