Chapter 1905: Chapter 902: I’m Your Father! (Interlude) (2)
Before the battle began, no one expected him to be so powerful.
Facing two opponents alone, he fought Wei Qing and Zuo Lingkong head-on, still gaining the upper hand, as if taking a leisurely stroll. In just two quarters, he subdued the two adversaries and won.
The audience was in an uproar, praising Chen Potian’s rise against adversity and predicting he would become famous throughout the land.
Yet, Jiang Xue merely pursed her lips. The others didn’t know Chen Cheng’s true strength, but she knew better. This wasn’t an intense battle; he wasn’t even fighting fully.
He treated the Ascension Battle as mere child’s play.
If he unleashed his full power capable of challenging a True Core Grandmaster, he could instantly suppress the strongest two of the young generation today.
This was not an exaggeration, but rather a real experience.
On the day Chen Cheng was born, the Jianghu documented his arrival with miraculous phenomena spanning a thousand miles. And with the inherited Divine Blood of the Human Emperor, his unmatched talent made such strength normal.
Even though she had been nurtured from a young age by her Sword God father, her Sword Bone couldn’t contend with Chen Cheng in the same realm.
Participating in the Ascension Battle was completely beneath him.
But, who cares; he enjoys it, so she accompanied him.
….
“Who exactly are you?”
Wei Qing’s figure hunched, clutching his chest as bright red blood stained his clothes. His breath was weak, and his eyes gradually became extremely serious, staring tightly at Chen Cheng.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t play, nor that he lacked demeanor, preparing for Heavenly Demon Hall’s revenge. He was genuinely curious about this person’s identity.
Heavenly Demon Hall had investigated but found nothing, as if this person emerged from nowhere, which was too shocking.
So, he was very curious.
At the side, the half-kneeling Zuo Lingkong heard and raised his head with a questioning gaze.
“I come from heaven and earth, and I return to heaven and earth.”
Chen Cheng smiled.
“One day, I will defeat you.”
“In the future, I will seek you out again.”
Wei Qing and his companion fell silent for a moment and spoke softly:
“I’ll give you time to chase after me until you can no longer even see my shadow.” Quoting his father’s words, Chen Cheng felt today’s performance was truly satisfying.
No wonder stories of disguising weakness were so beloved.
However, it seemed there was still more…
Chen Cheng didn’t look at the two defeated opponents, wanting them to chase him over time. He would only show them that it would lead to more despair. This was the confidence of a Human Emperor’s descendant.
His gaze fell upon Jiang Xue below. He waved his hand, and brilliant lights scattered, then he stepped onto a seven-colored auspicious cloud, arriving before Jiang Xue, who was too flustered to speak.
Without further ado, he directly hugged her slender waist and flew off.
Leaving behind voices filled with envy.
Wei Qing and Zuo Lingkong exchanged glances, feeling as if they had taken a crushing blow. The other’s purpose wasn’t really to defeat them but merely to fashion a splendid stance for pursuing a woman.
This truly was…..
Damn!!!
…
…
“Alright, let go soon.”
Jiang Xue, her face flushed, pinched Chen Cheng’s waist with such force that it seemed like blood might spill.
She knew that today’s events would certainly be reported in detail to the Empress, her mother, and father, which made her wish she could just dig a hole in the ground to hide.
But in front of so many people, she couldn’t just reject Chen Cheng, and honestly, she was somewhat moved at the time and really didn’t want to. She hadn’t thought this guy was so absorbed in hugging.
He even began climbing further up….
“Xue’er…”
Chen Cheng looked at the woman in his arms with deep affection.
“Who allowed you to call me that?”
“Then… sister?”
Jiang Xue: “…..”
“What do you want?”
“Eat more in the future, I worry the Crown Prince grandson will be hungry…” Chen Cheng teased her with a smile.
Jiang Xue’s face turned angry with shame, and she drew her sword:
“Xiao Cheng, do you want to eat oil cakes?”
“Hehe, just kidding.”
“I’m going to slash you!”
Jiang Xue casually sent a wave of Sword Qi out.
“Xue’er, don’t be angry, it’s just a joke….”
“Is this a joke? This is nonsense; I’m clearly….” Jiang Xue snorted coldly, her eyes somewhat wandering and not as confident as before.
“Right, right…. Xue’er you always….”
“Enough, when do you plan to go back?” Jiang Xue wanted to avoid the topic and directly changed it.
“Why go back?”
Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow.
“You tell me why, you, as the Crown Prince of Great Yan, are wandering around all over, if it gets out, won’t that….”
“With you as the mouthpiece, how could it get out?”
“I… you knew?” Jiang Xue felt a bit embarrassed.
“We are very close, know each other well. How could I not understand your thoughts? Now, without exception, there are Yang God True Monarchs hidden in the void surrounding us to ensure my safety.
Who can harm me now?
Whether in the Imperial Palace or outside, it’s actually similar, besides… I’ve stayed a long while, I kind of miss the old guy; how about we go on a sea journey to find him?”
Jiang Xue remained silent, looking sideways at Chen Cheng.
She naturally knew who the old guy referred to.
That was none other than the ruler of the Human World, Emperor of Great Yan, Human Emperor, revered by billions, Holy Martial Emperor Chen Yuan!
“Show respect to His Majesty.”
“What’s there to fear, he’s not here right now. Besides, since I became aware, I’ve never even seen him. Is this how to be a father? No way… I must find him!”
“What do you want to find His Majesty for?”
“Tell him, even without him, relying on my own talent, I am invincible in the same realm, eventually bound to surpass him, making him proud of me in the millennia to come.”
Chen Cheng snorted lightly, just about to say more.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and immediately, a massive pressure appeared out of thin air, as if the world was collapsing, directly upon the two of them.
In just an instant, the two were brought to the ground.
The ground within a ten-thousand-zhang radius buckled instantly.
“Protect him, protect him!”
Jiang Xue shouted while crushing the Sword Talisman her father had given her. In an instant, a surge of Sword Qi soared into the sky, seemingly capable of cleaving heaven and earth, destroying everything.
Yet, in the void, a massive hand condensed and directly crushed the Sword Qi.
Heaven and earth formed on their own, a flicker of fear in Jiang Xue and Chen Cheng’s eyes.
Directly sealing heaven and earth, this… came prepared!
As for others, they were probably handled already.
It’s uncertain whether the Capital had received any news.
“I don’t know who the senior is, why attack this young one?”
Chen Cheng took a deep breath, judging from the situation, this person likely transcended the Six Realms, so he dispelled thoughts of resistance, intending to buy time.
When facing an Immortal, the Chen Family truly feared no one.
“Who are you?”
A cold voice echoed between heaven and earth, a figure in white gradually manifested, shrouded in a layer of hazy light, visible to the eye but imperceptible.
“My father is Human Emperor Chen Yuan, I am… the Crown Prince of Great Yan, Chen Cheng.”
Chen Cheng directly revealed his identity, naturally aware that the person would know his background, so he might as well stall for time.
“Oh, it’s you.”
“I don’t know what offense I may have caused the elder, might you offer a chance for resolution?”
“Chen Yuan destroyed everything I had, killing you… might introduce a flaw in his Mental Realm, hehehe….”
Chen Cheng’s gaze tightened, he quickly responded:
“You might be mistaken, elder, my father doesn’t favor me as a son. We’ve never seen each other over a decade, our bond isn’t deep, upon my death perhaps he wouldn’t even blink.
Perhaps…. elder wanted some other exchange instead, like… longevity?”
“I only want you dead.”
“Elder, grievances have origins; debts have owners. Seeking revenge should be aimed at my father, not me… otherwise, it’s a case of a bully; wouldn’t you be scorned for this?”
Currently, my father, having been grievously injured in the last battle, lost most of his power. Why not let me lead you to find him?”
Chen Cheng protected Jiang Xue by his side, smiling.
“Troublesome child.”
The figure in the void paused momentarily, speaking heavily.
Jiang Xue and Chen Cheng simultaneously paused, glancing at one another, as a faint suspicion formed from that line.
“Elder, are you….”
“I am your injured father.”
