Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Naturally, Jiang Chen wanted to immediately go and deal with Lin Feng.
But looking at Xiaobai’s dumbfounded face and Qingning’s smiling one, he hesitated for a moment.
After a brief hesitation, he walked to a corner of the spiritual boat and squatted down, gesturing for Xiaobai and Qingning to come over.
Xiaobai walked over in confusion and lay down.
Qingning also came, sitting next to Xiaobai and blinking her big eyes.
“How do you know that Lin Feng is the Son of Destiny?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Qingning buried Lin Feng alive with Zijun Blood Soil, and then there was a sudden flash of lightning and a downpour. If Qingning hadn’t opened the umbrella in time, Lin Feng would have definitely escaped by now,” Xiaobai explained.
“I see.”
Jiang Chen nodded, “You mustn’t spread this matter.”
“Why?” Xiaobai didn’t understand.“I said you are foolish, yet you still won’t admit it!”
Jiang Chen patted Xiaobai’s head and glared, “Who dares to offend the Son of Destiny? If you spread this around, won’t everyone want to capture you to feed Lin Feng?”
“So that’s how it is, Eldest Senior Brother is indeed wise,” Xiaobai admired greatly.
This made Jiang Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
The identity of Son of Destiny was too frightening. If he scared his little brother, that wouldn’t be good.
After Lin Feng became a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect, he was counting on his little brother to draw some hatred!
“Defying the heavens is something that needs to be done step by step, you can’t be impatient! Later, I will go find trouble with Lin Feng. You two just watch how I do it, don’t talk, and definitely don’t mess things up. The priority is to ensure Lin Feng successfully becomes a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect!” Jiang Chen added.
“Why is that?” This time it was Qingning who asked.
“It’s easier to deal with him if he’s right under our noses! If you scare him away, are we supposed to search the whole world for him? Once Lin Feng joins the Jiuyan Sect and his blood is recorded in their roster, wouldn’t it be easy to find out where he is?” Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.
“Eldest Senior Brother, you’re really cunning! But I like it!” Xiaobai covered his mouth and snickered.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I have a question,” it raised its right paw.
“Speak.”
“How long does this step-by-step process you mentioned take?”
“Uh… about a hundred years or so.”
“That long?”
“Are you stupid?”
Jiang Chen smacked Xiaobai’s head and patiently explained, “Defying the heavens is not supposed to be easy. You need great perseverance! If you can’t wait, go ahead and fight Lin Feng to the death and let him eat you now!”
Xiaobai immediately cowered and declared that what it lacked the least was perseverance!
“Remember what I just said, both of you?” Jiang Chen spoke again.
Upon hearing this, both the girl and the tiger nodded.
Standing up, Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction.
Defying the heavens?
Whoever wants to do that can go ahead!
In this life, he just wanted to ascend and leave this nonsensical world!
And the speech he just gave was merely to fool Qingning and Xiaobai.
Qingning was a madwoman, and Xiaobai was a foolish tiger.
What if the two really scared Lin Feng away and he didn’t become a disciple of the Jiuyan Sect?
Wouldn’t the plot completely collapse?
For the sake of his grand plan to ascend, he had to stabilize the situation first and fool these two—one madwoman and one foolish tiger.
As for defying the heavens for a hundred years?
That was just a blank check he wrote.
After all, he would have ascended long before a hundred years passed!
What would the affairs of this world have to do with him then?
“Indeed, I’m getting smarter,” Jiang Chen couldn’t help but admire himself.
He looked at Xiaobai and Qingning.
At this moment, Xiaobai was clearly convinced by Jiang Chen’s wisdom, with admiration filling his tiger eyes.
He couldn’t help but feel emotional.
No wonder Qingning sought Jiang Chen’s help. It turns out this Eldest Senior Brother really could defy the heavens!
Qingning, however, still wore her smile, though occasionally a cold light flashed in her large eyes, leaving one to wonder what she was thinking.
……
“Why hasn’t he come yet?”
On the main road of the market, Lin Feng held his black blade and murmured to himself.
Some time had passed since Liu Wen had left.
Although it wasn’t a long time, based on his past experiences, Jiang Chen should have arrived within a few breaths, starting with “You dare to touch my people?” followed by a self-revelation of his identity, boasting about how amazing he was, and then the fight would start.
“Could it be that Jiang Chen has chickened out?” Lin Feng muttered.
“It’s not impossible.”
Old Man Tianji speculated, “After all, his lackeys are so cowardly, and dogs usually follow their master’s lead.”
Hearing this, Lin Feng felt like a deflated balloon.
He was already frustrated from being buried alive by Qingning and was hoping to vent his anger while showing off!
But who would have thought that the villains of the Central Domain were such cowards!
“Um… benefactor, may I leave now?” a timid voice of a rescued female cultivator came from behind.
“Wait a bit longer,” Lin Feng replied.
Now that the cultivators around had all fled, he had deliberately kept the female cultivator here to witness his moment of glory, to be amazed and to praise how incredible he was.
Before he was certain that Jiang Chen had truly chickened out, he naturally wouldn’t let the female cultivator leave.
As time passed, several moments went by.
Just as Lin Feng was completely out of patience and ready to leave.
“He’s here!” Old Man Tianji suddenly exclaimed!
Hearing this, Lin Feng was overjoyed.
But after looking around, he saw nothing but the empty streets, not even a ghost of a shadow!
“Up there!” Old Man Tianji reminded.
Up there?
Lin Feng was puzzled.
But soon, he noticed the light around him dimming, and a huge shadow enveloped him.
Looking up abruptly, Lin Feng was completely taken aback!
Above his head, a purple spirit boat was floating, its cannon ports on both sides wide open.
At a glance, there were at least dozens of spirit cannons!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Dozens of Thunder Spirit Cannons fired, and a barrage of thunderballs shot down from the sky!
The thunderballs hit the main road of the market, instantly blasting huge pits into the ground.
The flying debris from the explosions had no chance to scatter before being turned to nothing by the shockwaves.
Then, the shockwaves created ripples in the air, spreading out like water waves in all directions, destroying arrays and collapsing buildings, revealing many cultivators who were hiding inside, trembling with fear.
A single Thunder Spirit Cannon could injure cultivators at the Initial Formation stages, let alone dozens of them?
Caught in the crossfire, Lin Feng immediately ducked and ran. But wherever he went, the thunderballs would explode in front of him, forcing him to draw his black blade and face the onslaught head-on!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Another volley was fired.
At this point, Lin Feng was in a sorry state, and his black blade had many cracks.
He had never imagined that Jiang Chen would play such an unorthodox card, using these cannons designed to fight against demonic beasts, and not just one but dozens!
It was simply not treating him like a human!
Glancing at the female cultivator who was now crying with snot and tears, Lin Feng was even more annoyed!
He had kept her here to witness his moment of glory, not his embarrassment!
Seeing more thunderballs getting closer and closer, Lin Feng immediately shouted in his heart, “Old Man Tianji, help me!”
“Alright!”
Old Man Tianji did not hesitate.
In an instant, a powerful soul force poured into Lin Feng’s body.
With the boost of this soul force, his aura surged, his eyes deepened, and he was enveloped in an enigmatic aura.
“Swish—”
He swung his black blade fiercely, cutting through the air with a Saber Qi that was ten zhang wide.
The saber qi sliced through the air, moving swiftly.
It passed through the thunderballs in the sky in just an instant, causing them to explode mid-air!
“Haha!”
Lin Feng laughed loudly, “Jiang Chen! You may not play by the rules, but what can you do to me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a cannon with a red-hot muzzle that was larger than a water tank and resembling a python was pushed out onto the deck of the spirit boat.
“Not good! That’s the Heaven-Swallowing Red Python Cannon!” Old Man Tianji exclaimed in shock!
“What does that mean? Is it very powerful?” Lin Feng asked.
“Each shot of the Devouring Heaven Python Cannon requires thousands of superior-grade spirit stones! This is not a cannon used against cultivators, but one used in sect wars to break through enemy sect formations! Just one shot could obliterate this Lingshan Town! Within a hundred li, everything would be reduced to scorched earth!” Old Man Tianji explained.
He urged quickly, “Your cultivation is too low to withstand it. Let go of all your mental defenses and let me control your body. I’ll use my last soul force to take you away. Otherwise, you won’t survive today!”
“Damn!”
Lin Feng cursed, “Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? Such indiscriminate killing of the innocent, isn’t he afraid of the Imperial Dynasty’s wrath?”
“No use talking. My soul force won’t last much longer, so we should focus on escaping!” Old Man Tianji was anxious.
Lin Feng disliked being possessed.
Because being possessed by an old geezer made him feel disgusted, so he planned to wait until the very last moment and see before deciding.
With the enhancement of his soul power, he was extremely vigilant, desperately holding onto his black blade, his muscles tensed, his eyes fixed on the muzzle of the red python cannon, and without realizing it, his forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.
Then, after several moments, the anticipated crisis did not come. Instead, the soul power within his body dwindled more and more until it completely vanished!
“Not good!!” Lin Feng was shocked, instantly sensing something was amiss.
Afterward, a man in black leaped down from the spirit boat, landing directly in front of him.
“Lin Junior Brother, your Eldest Senior Brother has come to pick you up,” Jiang Chen said with a smile.
