Chapter 308: Instantaneous Kill of the Dark Emperor, Ready to Fulfill the Promise

“Stand up. From now on, I order you to serve me. Are you willing?”

Chen Ansheng said indifferently.

Though Chen Ansheng appeared calm on the surface, in reality, he was very impressed by this bald man.

Just the fact that he could comprehend the time-based boxing techniques and the Kongming intent of shaping body and spirit was enough to be considered extraordinary.

Even those Supreme Ones or Heavenly Emperors might not have this level of insight.

What he lacked was merely insufficient cultivation level.

If Mu Fengyun were at the Supreme One level or Heavenly Emperor level, Chen Ansheng admitted that he would have to use all his abilities to be qualified to fight him on equal terms.

That was also under the condition where the opponent failed to comprehend the Immortal Path, allowing Chen an opportunity to surprise attack.

“Thank you, Emperor, for your promotion. Mu Fengyun is willing to serve you faithfully.”

Mu Fengyun accepted Chen Ansheng’s command with joy.

“Good.” Chen Ansheng nodded. “When I have time, I will give you some guidance.”

“The subordinate is extremely grateful.”

Mu Fengyun bowed hurriedly to express his gratitude.

“Now, I will give you your first task. Work with Chief of Clan Chen to annihilate the Zhou Family. Leave not a single chicken or dog alive.”

Chen Ansheng commanded.

“Subordinate follows your order!”

Mu Fengyun was filled with killing intent as he looked toward the distance.

“Emperor, the Zhou Family has a Profound Emperor cultivating beneath the earth. I do not know his current level of cultivation. The subordinate suggests that I go alone, so as not to put Chief of Clan Chen in danger if that Profound Emperor fights for his life. Please, Emperor, determine the course of action.”

This was Mu Fengyun’s concern.

Though his fighting power was powerful, if a Profound Emperor decided to take the life of a Great Saint, Mu had no absolute certainty of protecting him.

“Snort.”

Chen Ansheng gave a cold laugh and raised his eyes to the void.

“Unnecessary. I will slay that person. You only need to follow the orders.”

Upon these words, Chen Ansheng transformed into a streak of sword light, shooting into the clouds.

Everyone, including Mu Fengyun, was startled by the intense killing intent and the aura of the sword.

“So the Zhou Family’s man has arrived already!”

Due to the disturbance of Chen Ansheng’s sword qi, Mu Fengyun could then sense the other’s presence.

“Indeed, the Emperor’s spiritual awareness is far superior to mine!”

Whistle!

Mu Fengyun let out a sigh and jumped into the air, dashing into the clouds.

In the air.

Lu Tianqi looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but tremble.

“Strong, truly frightening! Even if I cultivated for ten lifetimes, I wouldn’t reach even a fraction of my daughter’s husband’s strength.”

Moments later, a remarkable wave surged from deep space.

“Brother, you really intend to leave no survivors?”

Opposite Chen Ansheng stood a middle-aged man in a green robe, his face somber, radiating with power that distorted space.

This was the true backing of the Zhou Family, a genuine Profound Emperor!

“What else?”

Chen Ansheng asked coldly.

“At our level, why should we struggle to the death over the actions of our juniors?”

The middle-aged man in the green robe replied coldly as well.

Indeed, as he said.

At this level, unless it concerns one’s own survival, they must not take risks easily.

As for the juniors?

Their life or death was their own destiny, why take risks because of that?

“You really think too highly of yourself. For me to slay you is as easy as cutting grass. Talking about life and death is meaningless!”

Chen Ansheng exuded killing intent.

“How unreasonable!”

The middle-aged man in the green robe emitted anger.

“Young man, you fought with the bald-headed person for a long time and only barely surpassed him. I wonder where you get the courage to be so arrogant in front of me!”

In the opinion of the man in green robes, Mu Fengyun was just an Imperator Realm cultivator, although his skill was exceptional and could battle an Emperor. But could this true Emperor not unleash his full strength?

This fellow was too outrageous.

“Emperor, this fellow dares to defy us. This subordinate pleads to be allowed to engage him in combat and obliterate him completely!”

Mu Fengyun, newly under Chen Ansheng’s command, naturally wanted to demonstrate his worth.

“Dismissed! What’s the point of wasting time on such an insect?”

Chen Ansheng didn’t bother to look as these two continued exchanging blows, finding it utterly dull.

“Utterly outrageous! This Emperor wants to see what special skills you have!”

The Profound Emperor of the Zhou Family believed that even if he couldn’t kill this young man, there was no way he would let him gain any advantage either.

One battle was unavoidable.

“Boom!”

Divine might exploded, and behind the green-robed middle-aged man, a thousand arms crystallized.

“Looking for death!”

Sword intent flowed within Chen Ansheng as he invoked the resonance scabbard.

Draw sword!

One, two, three…

Twelve consecutive streaks of sword intent were drawn, each augmented with real damage principles.

“Space Quagmire!”

As he dashed forward, Chen Ansheng unleashed a spatial technique that caused the green-robed man to drift aimlessly in the air like a rootless reed.

“Wha- What kind of technique is this?!”

The green-robed middle-aged man was stunned.

“Ring!”

Before his shock could recede, a terrifying sword shadow was already upon him.

“Great Sun Swallows the Heaven! Break it!”

Unable to dodge, the green-robed middle-aged man had no choice but to counter Chen Ansheng’s attack.

Boom!

A myriad divine fists bombarded the streaks of sword intent.

“Hisss! Aaah!”

As the sword intent surged forward like a conquering tsunami, obliterating the fist illusions, a chilling and pained scream erupted from the green-robed middle-aged man.

Mu Fengyun was thrust back a hundred zhang by the violent storm that was unleashed, stabilizing himself and then standing dumbfounded.

So this was Emperor Chen’s true combat prowess!

This single sword slice was enough to destroy the heavens!

Any technique or martial arts style in the face of this one sword was like an insect charging at a chariot – a mere facade.

“No!”

Just as the outcry of terror echoed across the entire expanse of the realm,

Spurt!

A single sword pierced through his chest.

Instantly, a streak of light zipped in.

Stab stab stab…

Chen Ansheng wielded the sword like a cleaver, stabbing the opponent hundreds of times consecutively.

Finally, Chen Ansheng pressed his large palm on the green-robed middle-aged man’s head, letting the sword intent surge madly.

Bang!

The green-robed middle-aged man’s head exploded like a watermelon.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the black Immortal Soul Sword pierced through the fleeing soul shadow of his that hadn’t yet escaped.

Chen Ansheng completed the whole sequence flawlessly in one breath, without any hesitation!

From the beginning of Chen Ansheng’s move until the green-robed middle-aged man’s instantaneous death, it hadn’t even taken half a breath’s time.

Profound Emperor realm, instant kill!

“Emperor’s attack truly is severe.”

Behind him, Mu Fengyun was drenched in cold sweat all over his forehead and back.

He realized how fortunate he was today to be accepted into Emperor Chen’s service, otherwise, he would have long been dead.

The body of the green-robed middle-aged man fell from the air.

All cultivators who were observing down below were left petrified.

Instantaneously slaying the Zhou Family’s Profound Emperor!

Could he possibly have surpassed the Emperor Realm and reached the legendary Supreme One?

All present held their breath, their eyes locked onto the imposing figure now descending from the heavens.

Kneel!

Without any hesitation, all cultivators present, dropped to their knees in midair.

“We pay respectful homage to the Supreme One.”

Even on their knees, the cultivators couldn’t suppress their tremors in fear.

“Hear me well, from now on, all territories within ten million kilometers will be under the governance of Chief of Clan Chen, Chen Yuling. Any who dare oppose, will have their entire clan exterminated!”

The thunderous voice of Chen Ansheng resonated deeply within the souls of all who heard it.

“We respectfully obey the command of the Supreme One.”

All cultivators responded in unison, fearing even the slightest delay that would see them ground to nothingness by the Supreme One.

With that, Chen Ansheng exchanged glances with the breathtakingly beautiful purple-clothed goddess standing beside him. They shared knowing smiles.

“Good son-in-law, we’ve finally waited for your return.”

Seeing this, Lu Tianqi hurriedly flew over, bowing obsequiously to Chen Ansheng.

“Who’s your son-in-law!”

Lu Lingxi also rushed over, grabbing onto Chen Ansheng’s arm.

“Daughter…”

“Hold on!” Lu Lingxi’s face was cold. “Didn’t you say my husband was a vile person? Didn’t you blame me and disown me because of that? How dare you now show your face and try to recognize family!”

Lu Tianqi’s face flushed with shame, wishing he could die on the spot.

Who could have foreseen this?

This was a disaster; his daughter had suffered immeasurably over the past centuries. How could she forgive him?

Regrettably, Lu Tianqi had to turn to Chen Ansheng again. “Good son-in-law, your venerable father-in-law was forced into this situation. I hope you can understand and persuade Xi’er.”

“Everything will follow my wife’s decision.”

Chen Ansheng said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, a strong sense of happiness surged in Lu Lingxi’s heart.

She thought that after so many centuries, the other party would no longer care for her. But the simple word “wife” erased all her doubts.

“From today onward, I sever all ties with the Lu family!”

Lu Lingxi wasn’t resentful because she was imprisoned for hundreds of years, but rather because the family only saw her as a tool used to counter the Abyss Demon.

This family didn’t deserve another moment of her time!

“Daughter, you can’t be this merciless!”

“Hmm?”

Chen Ansheng’s cold glance was all it took.

Lu Tianqi quickly shut his mouth, stumbling backwards.

Even facing a million Abyss Demons wouldn’t instill the fear that Chen Ansheng’s gaze did.

Alas.

Lu Tianqi sighed silently, knowing better than to say another word. Carrying his weary body, he left, leading his clan members away.

“Brother Ansheng, Sister Lingxi, congratulations on your reunion.”

Chen Yuling flew over and landed in front of the two. At this moment, she was the only one who dared to face Chen Ansheng.

“How was your brother’s performance today?”

Chen Ansheng laughed.

“Need not mention it.” Chen Yuling, recalling the scene of the instantaneous kill of the Dark Emperor, waves within her heart refused to calm down. Wasn’t that simply peerless and invincible?

“The matter of the Zhou Family will be settled by him accompanying you. Go ahead.”

Chen Ansheng subtly hinted at Mu Fengyun.

“Chief of Clan Chen, please.”

Mu Fengyun immediately stepped forward and respectfully addressed them.

Chen Yuling’s eyes were slightly moist, remembering the tens of thousands of her clansmen who fell under her watchful eyes, powerless to do anything. The deep grudge from that day was finally avenged today!

“Brother Ansheng, thank you. Your great favor, Sister Lingxi can never repay in this life.”

Chen Yuling didn’t know how to thank Chen Ansheng.

“Stupid girl, since I’ve recognized you as my sister, don’t be so emotional.”

Chen Ansheng said.

“Alright, I understand.”

Chen Yuling was very clear about Chen Ansheng’s character. He disliked those who were overly sentimental.

“All clanspeople, follow me, the Chief of our Clan to purge the Zhou Family and avenge our blood debt!”

Immediately after, Chen Yuling’s voice ordered, the remaining clan members rejoiced with tears, paying homage to Chen Ansheng before following Chen Yuling to the Zhou Family in battle.

…

“Husband, where are we going?”

After everyone had left, Lu Lingxi rested her head on Chen Ansheng’s shoulder.

“Come with me to the Lower Spirit Heaven.”

“Lower Spirit Heaven? That’s where the Divine Emperor clan resides. Why are we going there?”

Lu Lingxi asked curiously.

“Because of a promise.”

Chen Ansheng once obtained the Immortal-devouring Worms from the Jiang family, and thereby promised Jiang Buhui to rescue his son who had been taken to the Forbidden Abyss.

“I wonder if there are any Supreme Ones in that Forbidden Abyss?”

Chen Ansheng mused to himself. If there were, then it would be an excellent opportunity for further refinement.

If not, after rescuing the person, he could then seriously analyze Mu Fengyun’s two martial arts techniques, and that would be enough.
