Chapter 717: The Indestructible Cockroach
Upon hearing that it was the Holy Emperor of Great Xia who had come in person, the three elders immediately became obedient, their aged faces plastered with fake smiles. "So it is His Majesty the Holy Emperor who has graced us with his presence. We have failed to greet you properly."
"Answer my question: Where is Chixiao?"
Chen Futu surveyed the entire scene with an imposing air, and all the powerful figures shrank back.
Seeing that they did not answer, Chen Futu's gaze fell on Lin Tian. "I have heard that you forced Chixiao to abdicate, and some people say that you killed Chixiao, betrayed him, and made his whereabouts unknown. Is this true?"
The awe-inspiring presence of the Great Emperor was undeniable, and several elders who wanted to lie swallowed their words back down.
Finally, under Chen Futu's intense gaze, a quasi-emperor elder spoke up, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with us. It was all done by Lin Tian, and he betrayed Chi Xiao."
“That’s right. Lin Tian is a treacherous and disloyal son who harmed his mentor. We are currently considering how to deal with him.”
The other elders all chimed in, adding insult to injury, and then with a clatter, everyone stepped back, making way for Lin Tian.
Lin Tian stood frozen in place, angrily glaring at the group of elders. "This has truly broadened my horizons. When things come to a head, you actually push a junior like me out to take the fall. If it weren't for your alliance, I wouldn't have had the chance to play along and betray my master!"
"Lin Tian, stop talking nonsense! It is clearly you who are always criticizing your master in front of us."
"Boy, you are selfish, greedy, and treacherous. Driven by the slightest self-interest, you are capable of betraying your master and ancestors! We have long been unable to tolerate you. As for taking action against your master, it was the result of our elders' consideration and a decision made internally by the Dragon Emperor Pavilion. It was not to encourage your savagery!"
The elders, with a few words, absolved themselves of all responsibility, leaving the blame entirely on Lin Tian.
Lin Tian laughed loudly, as if he had gone mad, "Fine, fine, fine! You bunch of old geezers, I'm the one who did all the bad things. You killed my master because the Dragon Emperor Pavilion is cleaning house. Do you think that will stop Chen Futu from killing you?"
"Shut up, puppy!"
One of the elders was furious and wished he could kill him.
Chen Futu, however, remained unperturbed, calmly watching them fight like dogs.
Chen Ranran clicked her tongue and said, "This Lin Tian is just like Han Feng."
Lin Tian gritted his teeth and roared, "Chen Futu, what are you being so arrogant about! The three-year agreement hasn't even been reached yet, and you're already trying to kill me!"
"Whether to kill or not is up to me, not you."
Lin Tian couldn't stand Chen Futu's disdainful gaze. He clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and shouted, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"
This loud roar was quite imposing, full of youthful anger.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ranran covered her mouth. Because it was hard to hold back her laughter, she finally couldn't hold it in and hooked her arm around Hua Hua's shoulder, laughing so hard she almost choked.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate the poor youth, never underestimate the poor middle-aged, never underestimate the poor old. Buddy, do you think you're Xiao Huohuo? Don't be naive. My master isn't the Soul Emperor, and my second senior sister isn't the Regretful Sister."
Chen Ranran knows how to annoy people.
Chen Yuling and Huahua were confused, but they knew Chen Ranran was being sarcastic, and they burst into laughter.
Only Xiaobai, munching on a steamed bun, stared at the hysterical Lin Tian with an expression that said, "Look at me like I'm an idiot."
Seeing that he had no way out, Lin Tian stared at Chen Futu with a sinister look, "Does the Holy Emperor really intend to kill me now? What are you worried about?"
"Hehe, your demeanor is quite good, but your cultivation is a bit weak."
Chen Futu walked on air with his hands behind his back, approaching step by step.
Chen Ranran's pupils contracted, and alarm bells rang in her mind. "My master is acting very strangely today, extremely strangely. How could he say Yunshan's lines? He's definitely a major villain! Could it be that a Medusa Queen has suddenly appeared? Could this Lin Tian really be the chosen one? Isn't he the Dragon King?"
Chen Futu listened to Chen Ranran's thoughts with his telepathic abilities. His lips twitched, and then he calmed his mind and reached out his hand to Lin Tian. "Whether it's east or west of the river, mistakes must be punished. I think if Chi Xiao were here, he would not let you off the hook. So today I will clean house for your master."
"Holy crap, when did Master become so talkative? Isn't he supposed to be a cool guy? Doesn't he know that villains die from talking too much?"
Chen Ranran spoke her mind again.
Chen Futu suddenly frowned. Had he talked too much? Not really, right? He just wanted to see if any unexpected events would occur. If someone came to his rescue, he would kill Lin Tian, this anomaly, no matter what. If not, he could call Ling Xue over and make up for the three-year agreement by taking revenge himself.
Thinking of this, Chen Futu narrowed his eyes and used his pressure. Lin Tian was forced to kneel on the ground by the tidal wave of true energy. Even kneeling there, he stubbornly raised his head, his eyes full of resentment and ruthlessness.
Just when everyone thought Lin Tian was doomed, a sinister and aged laugh suddenly swept across the sky, followed by an overwhelming aura of extreme power, "Great Xia Holy Emperor, what arrogance!"
"The Supreme Emperor?"
Chen Futu waved his hand, causing the earth's veins to surge upwards. Then, he drew the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and soared into the sky, shouting, "I don't care who you are, I'll kill you!"
Boom!
The giant hand descended from the sky and collided with the dragon sparrow, generating a violent aura that swept in all directions. Liu Longyue, Zhang Sanfeng, Haotian, and the Peach Blossom Goddess in Tianque City noticed this and instantly entered the battlefield. Bai Zhi, however, seemed worried about exposing the Moon Goddess Pavilion, so she did not participate.
The Peach Blossom Goddess sensed the aura of the Supreme Dao, and her expression darkened. "It's the Styx Ancestor!"
"Let's do it together!"
Haotian knew Styx well. This man was extremely cruel and tyrannical. It was said that Styx was full of the bones and blood of living beings, burying countless lives. This time, Styx Ancestor came with the Dao Emperor Weapon. Who was he going to support?
"Peach Blossom Goddess, you have actually recovered."
An old man in blood-red robes stood suspended in mid-air, holding two Netherworld Swords in his hands, exuding a violent aura that was in no way inferior to that of the Dragon Sparrow.
The goddess sneered, "Indeed, it has recovered. Styx, it's time to settle our score!"
"You think you can bully the weak with numbers? Too bad I'm not here to fight you, I'm just here to take my grand-disciple away."
The Styx Ancestor was arrogant and unruly, and the grand-disciple he referred to was Lin Tian.
Chen Futu and Chen Ranran were secretly shocked. This was the Chosen One, who was even on the verge of death and still had someone to save him. Moreover, the person who came was the Supreme Emperor, who ranked among the top three in killing power on the continent.
Liu Longyue is also a system-certified woman of destiny. Let's see whose destiny is better!
After considering this, Chen Futu said in a deep voice, "Huahua, the four of you kill Lin Tian!"
"Alright, leave it to us!"
Hua Hua immediately led Chen Yu Ling and Chen Ran Ran to rush towards Lin Tian, but Lin Tian went all out and raised his hand to unleash a quasi-emperor weapon.
