Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 434: Is it a Coincidence or Intentional?

Chapter 434: Chapter 434: Is it a Coincidence or Intentional?

"No way!" Upon hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Zhao Qingyun resolutely declared, "With five Martial Sect Martial Artists, and I, a Martial Venerable Realm powerhouse, why should I cross the river!"

"Isn’t it different when you all cross together?" Ning Cheng continued.

"I believe everyone would really like to see this happen!" Ning Cheng said as he turned his head to the surrounding Martial Artists. Then, he saw those Martial Artists showing puzzled expressions upon hearing his words, or looking towards others to see if anyone shared the same sentiment.

This scene seemed to have no meaning at all!

"It’s probably just him being perverted who wants to see it happen," the Kirin King said to Shi Feng.

Ning Cheng saw the group of Martial Artists, but did not observe the expectant expressions he had imagined. He then looked towards Zhao Qingyun and sighed deeply, "Ah, these people really don’t know how to enjoy life! Since that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do about it."

Ning Cheng slowly shook his head, then walked back into the crowd.

"There’s nothing you can do about us," Zhao Qingyun muttered to himself, then suddenly realized and hurriedly called out to Ning Cheng, shouting, "Wait!"

"What’s up?" Ning Cheng turned his head back, looking puzzled at Zhao Qingyun.

"You just said that you couldn’t do anything about us, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Qingyun asked.

"Are you stupid?" Ning Cheng looked at Zhao Qingyun as if looking at a fool, and said, "Your Martial Arts Cultivation is at the Martial Venerable level, and I am merely at the Martial King level. I cannot defeat you, and no one here will help me, and you won’t cross the river with him, so what can I possibly do to you!"

"Are you saying that you are alone?" Upon hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Zhao Qingyun’s face instantly turned cold, emitting a chilling aura.

"It’s not just me alone, look, that person is my junior, and that one too," Ning Cheng said, pointing at Shi Feng and the Kirin King.

Zhao Qingyun also followed Ning Cheng’s pointing direction, and upon seeing Shi Feng, he felt a jolt in his heart—a Two-star Martial Venerate!

And there was also someone at the One-star Martial Venerable level!

At that moment, the Kirin King also looked at Zhao Qingyun, saying, "Friend, you don’t have to listen to him; we don’t even know this person!"

After the Kirin King finished speaking, Shi Feng also turned his head away, acting as if he did not know Ning Cheng at all.

"Ah! You! And junior! How can you be so treacherous and abandon your honor!" Hearing the Kirin King’s words and seeing Shi Feng’s demeanor, Ning Cheng quickly reproached them.

"Wow! Kid, you dare to fool me!" At this, Zhao Qingyun’s expression grew even colder, as cold as if it had been layered with frost, coldly looking at Ning Cheng, with a killing intent that became even more intense.

This One-star Martial Emperor kid, a worthless excuse of a fighter, dared to fool him! Zhao Qingyun couldn’t contain his rage at being tricked by someone merely at the One-star Martial Emperor level!

This was equivalent to Ning Cheng slapping him in the face in front of so many people.

"Young Master Feng, can we really not intervene?" In that moment, the Kirin King looked at Shi Feng and spoke softly. After all, in his eyes, Ning Cheng’s true Martial Arts Cultivation Level was merely at the One-star Martial Emperor Realm.

He would have let it go, but he knew that Shi Feng still needed him to search for someone in the Death Forbidden Land.

"It’s fine!" Shi Feng said, "This kid has always been tricky, and I would like to see with my own eyes what he has cultivated!"

"Oh!" The Kirin King nodded, turned his head, and looked through the crowd towards where Ning Cheng was.

"Die!" Zhao Qingyun’s face twisted violently as he raised his black iron club high and struck with all his might. At that moment, he wished nothing more than to smash Ning Cheng into a pulp, swinging the black iron club down ferociously towards him.

"Wait!" Ning Cheng revealed a calm and fearless expression, his stern face meeting the descending black iron club as he indifferently spoke.

"Wait your sister! Stop playing tricks, just go to hell!" Zhao Qingyun roared in anger, his black iron club not stopping as it moved through the air, creating a "whooshing" sound.

However, right then, as the black iron club was about to strike Ning Cheng’s forehead, at the moment everyone thought Ning Cheng’s head would be smashed, the club suddenly stopped right on his forehead.

"Ah!" A miserable scream erupted from Zhao Qingyun’s mouth. At that moment, his face showed utmost terror, his eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out, as if he had encountered something incredibly horrifying.

Following that, with a "crack" sound, Zhao Qingyun’s black iron club fell to the ground, and Zhao Qingyun’s body followed, collapsing onto the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"What... what on earth happened?" A Martial Artist wondered aloud, looking at Zhao Qingyun suddenly falling without knowing what had happened.

"The old man’s breath, it seems to have ceased! This old man is dead!" A Martial Artist who sensed that Zhao Qingyun had died showed a face full of disbelief.

"This young Martial Emperor Realm fighter inadvertently killed this old Martial Venerable Realm man? My God, what kind of being is this youth, has he been hiding his Cultivation Level? Pretending to be weak but is actually strong?" A Martial Artist looked at Ning Cheng and spoke.

"Young Master Feng, you said he was tricky, and he indeed is very tricky. He silently killed that Martial Artist named Zhao Qingyun!" The Kirin King also found it hard to believe as he looked at the abnormal Ning Cheng.

"Zhao Qingyun’s Death Method is the same as the few people we encountered before; because they didn’t have Silver Stone, they were killed by a mysterious presence in the Death Forbidden Land," Shi Feng spoke.

Shi Feng sensed that Zhao Qingyun’s Soul had been silently annihilated. At the moment his soul scattered, Shi Feng also absorbed the Power of Death.

Hearing Shi Feng’s words, the Kirin King found it even harder to believe and said, "So, it wasn’t that abnormal person who killed Zhao Qingyun, how is that possible! That abnormal person didn’t dodge, and just as the black iron club was about to hit his head, that old man named Zhao Qingyun died!"

"Perhaps it really is a coincidence, or perhaps, this abnormal person knows the rules of power in the Death Forbidden Land!" Shi Feng said this as he gazed intently at the abnormal Ning Cheng, trying to see through him. As the Kirin King said, he didn’t dodge, and just at the moment of being hit in the head, that old man died, which was too coincidental.

"Ha ha, haha! Hahahaha!" At this moment, looking at Zhao Qingyun lying in the rubble, the abnormal Ning Cheng burst into mad laughter, "I am the Heaven’s Chosen One, I am the heir to Heavenly Destiny, whoever seeks my life, must die!"

"Die!" Because the last word didn’t echo around him, Ning Cheng repeated the word "die"!
