You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 149 : Chapter 149
Chapter 149: The Sword Chief of the Sword Bearers Appears
The roar of waves—that was the River-Severing Sword Strike!
That despicable Cheng Zhenjiang was trying to seize the treasure!
Sensing the killing intent from behind him, Cheng Yu instantly arrived at the answer, and his face turned cold at once.
After all, this was an attack from a Heaven Ranking expert, a top Ninth Rank blow.
He had no choice but to dodge.
And by dodging, he was forced aside from Xiao Teng’s corpse.
Cheng Zhenjiang arrived at the spot, a faint smile on his face as he withdrew his killing intent.
He bent down, picked up the dim dragon scale, and tossed it lightly in his hand.
“So this is the thing that gave Prince Qing’s descendants the confidence to keep pressing forward generation after generation for centuries? Just what kind of magic does it hold?”
Still wearing that calm smile, Cheng Zhenjiang looked at Cheng Yu and put away the dragon scale.
“So my trip wasn’t entirely wasted. Feng’er happens to need this. Now that one great scourge beneath heaven has been wiped out, and I have achieved my goal as well, it truly is the best of both worlds.”
As he spoke, Cheng Zhenjiang let out a sorrowful sigh and looked at Cheng Yu, whose face remained expressionless.
“Truthfully, I was just thinking that things between father and son should never have gone this far. With you and , plus the two elders, and with your younger brother Feng’er being so gifted as well...”
“The Great Qian Dynasty cannot possibly contain the Cheng Family’s bloodline. Why must we continue treating each other as enemies like this?”
Cheng Yu said nothing. He rely watched Cheng Zhenjiang’s shaless display in silence.
A mont ago, the man had wished he had three legs so he could run faster, yet now he still dared to act so arrogantly.
Now that Prince Qing’s Remnants had been completely annihilated, everyone left behind was nothing more than an Imperial Hound of the court in the eyes of the Jianghu.
Not only had Great Hero Cheng greatly reduced the risk to his reputation, but by moving now to seize the treasure, he had also turned it into sothing the world could acknowledge as perfectly justified.
Cheng Yu raised the Demon-Slaying Sword horizontally and said coldly,
“I advise you to put that thing down.”
In an instant, a heaven-scorching dragon fla began gathering along the blade.
He had just obtained a Divine-Level Sword Art, and now so blind fool had conveniently co along to test it for him.
Cheng Zhenjiang had no idea how serious the situation was. He rely smiled calmly.
“Your talent and strength have both far exceeded my expectations. But after that battle, your consumption must have been enormous, correct? Power that does not truly belong to you is false in the end.”
He had already seen it clearly. The power of that phantom had not truly been Cheng Yu’s own strength.
Though it had been terrifyingly powerful, it had neither appeared early nor late. It had erupted only when facing that demonic Flood Dragon, then vanished almost at once after slaying it.
There had to be countless limitations upon it!
That was why Cheng Zhenjiang had decided to seize the treasure and bring ho the now-masterless dragon-scale inheritance for Cheng Feng.
The smile vanished from his face, replaced by solemn majesty, and the imposing aura of the Martial Alliance Leader of the North radiated from him.
“I will give you one final chance to abandon evil and return to the right path. No one who lacks Dao and righteousness can walk far beneath heaven!”
Now that Cheng Yu had clearly suffered heavy exhaustion, and with Xiao Teng no longer threatening him, this was the perfect mont for Cheng Zhenjiang to deal with this ruthless unfilial son.
If Cheng Yu still had even a shred of conscience left, then he should obediently go back with him.
If he remained stubborn and refused to change, then Cheng Zhenjiang could only take him by force. Even if he had to cripple his cultivation, he could not leave such a scourge behind!
Brimming with confidence, he smiled.
“To be defiant, you need the strength to back it up! And right now, you no longer have that strength, do you?”
But in the very next instant, dragon fla ignited upon the Demon-Slaying Sword in Cheng Yu’s hand.
A towering might tore through the air, scorching even the clouds crimson.
Above them, a golden-red dragon shadow churned within the heavens, releasing a terrifying aura.
Cheng Yu raised his sword.
“I’m not so sure about that.”
A mont ago, Cheng Zhenjiang had still been full of conceit. But the instant he felt that aura, he froze in place.
Why was this Grandmaster-level power again?!
Just how many trump cards and secrets did this unfilial son possess?
Faced with such a situation, Cheng Zhenjiang, by now thoroughly practiced in this regard, naturally chose not to clash head-on and imdiately decided to flee.
It wasn’t as though he could not forcibly erupt with Grandmaster-level power himself.
But the price and backlash of doing so were far too great!
Unlike Cheng Yu, who seed to throw out one trump card after another as though they cost him nothing.
“You unfilial son! Brute force and cruelty alone will never accomplish truly great things! One day, you will co begging !”
Throwing out that threat, Cheng Zhenjiang summoned the phantom of rolling waves beside him.
His figure blurred within the waves and vanished into the distance in an instant.
“You think you can steal sothing and still run?”
Cheng Yu arched a brow and shifted to gripping the Demon-Slaying Sword with both hands.
The power of Dragon-Scorching Sword Qi was too searing and terrifying. A single hand simply could not bear it!
A world-shaking and terrifying force began to gather.
ROOOAR!!!
The dragon shadow within the crimson clouds roared toward the heavens and locked onto Cheng Zhenjiang.
Cheng Zhenjiang, who had already fled far away, turned back to look, and cold sweat poured from him like rain.
This attack was far more terrifying than the Vital Blood Flood Dragon Xiao Teng had transford into earlier!
That unfilial son truly ant to commit patricide!
Caught between unbearable humiliation and towering fury, Cheng Zhenjiang turned back toward Cheng Yu and pulled an ancient jade talisman from his robes.
A vast and surging aura burst from it, clearly no weaker than Dragon-Scorching Sword Qi.
A trump card!
It was not as though he had none!
Since this unfilial son was so utterly devoid of humanity, then even if it cost him dearly, Cheng Zhenjiang had to cleanse his family line today!
But right at that mont—
Hummm!
A sword cry rang out from the far distance, clear and crisp without being harsh.
Cheng Zhenjiang instantly went sowhat rigid.
With the eyesight of a peak late Ninth Rank expert, he could tell at once that the source of that sword cry was dozens of li away!
From that far, and yet still so clear—and it was drawing nearer and nearer...
In the next instant, before Cheng Zhenjiang could think any further, a sword qi that seed capable of cleaving apart heaven and earth tore through the air.
Compared to that sword qi, mountain ranges seed small and rivers seed cramped.
Everyone within a hundred li of Lingdong Prefecture lifted their heads and looked toward the radiance rising from Iron Halberd Mountain.
Ordinary people trembled all over and dropped to their knees.
Had an immortal descended into the mortal world?
The martial artists stared blankly at the scene, and the three-foot swords at their waists began trembling without stop.
One sword after another broke free of its scabbard, fell to the ground, and quivered back and forth.
A realm that had existed only in legend was now revealed before their very eyes with startling clarity.
Grandmaster!
Cheng Zhenjiang’s eyes were stretched wide. Before the ancient jade talisman in his hand could even release its power, it was crushed to pieces by that sword qi.
Even Dragon-Scorching Sword Qi, which had been locked onto him, seed to draw itself back sowhat before that astonishing sword qi.
Seeing this, Cheng Yu gave a slight nod and put away the Demon-Slaying Sword.
There was no need for him to exhaust all of his Sword Intent in one strike.
Soone else had co to deal with Cheng Zhenjiang.
“This is...”
Cheng Zhenjiang’s lips trembled. No matter how unwilling he was, he could not deny the truth before his eyes.
A real Grandmaster had arrived!
He hurriedly shouted, “Which senior has arrived here? I, Cheng Zhenjiang, Sect Master of the River-Severing Sect, offer my respects!”
In the next instant, the sword qi split the air as it arrived, and the trees within a hundred li swayed under the pressure of the sword wind.
Behind the sword qi ca a plain, unadorned azure longsword.
Reclining lazily atop it was a woman with a breathtaking figure, and even ordinary cloth robes could not conceal her extraordinary bearing.
The breathtakingly beautiful woman slowly reined in the sword qi.
Raising a brow, she looked at Cheng Zhenjiang, who was drenched in sweat.
“Sect Master of the River-Severing Sect? What are you doing in a place like this?”
Suppressing the trembling in his legs, Cheng Zhenjiang cupped his hands in salute.
“I ca here on business, Senior. I never expected that fate would allow to et you.”
He had already recognized her identity, and fear exploded within his heart.
The Sword Chief of the Sword Bearers!
Seventh on the Heaven Ranking, one of the powerful Grandmasters of Great Qian!
And most importantly of all—
This woman road without fixed trace and had an eccentric temperant. She did not abide by any so-called understanding that Grandmasters should not act lightly.
If one angered her, that was truly fatal!
