With the Blade
Chapter 208 - 183: Chen Yu’s Revenge
Outside the mausoleum, the young emperor was silently gazing at this vast structure.
Everything was ready, the offering had finally been sent inside by him. While it was against ancestral rules for non-royals to enter the mausoleum, that only applied to emperors.
For Chen Yu, it no longer mattered.
That person called Du Chengfeng would probably be killed in an instant by that giant, after all, the giant was so formidable, so invincible—but it didn’t matter; he never expected such an ordinary expert to defeat that mighty giant.
Of course, in the words of this emperor, the situation would be quite different.
The insolent Grand Tutor intruded into the mausoleum, even desecrating the corpse of the Grand Ancestor Emperor, and that enormous monster stood up, disguised as the former Grand Ancestor Emperor, to kill everyone in Jiankang City.
Afterwards, this insolent monster would summon the fourteen Divine Soldiers to defeat it.
Of course, Chen Yu didn’t know if this plan would succeed. He only knew that this was the greatest power he could wield—no matter what, the monster lurking in the mausoleum had to be slain, simply because it had killed his father.
However, before this story could become reality, he still had one last thing to do.
"Then let the world see, see what you truly are!"
Saying this, Chen Yu swung his sword towards the grand mausoleum before him.
Hundreds and thousands of Sword Qi intersecting, this was the madness and hatred of Chen Yu’s life.
Very few people knew that Chen Yu had never neglected the martial arts.
He was even better than his old father.
Being an emperor, he controlled vast resources, which destined him to become a strong warrior. Furthermore, he bore the blood of that giant, which allowed him to forge ahead on the path of martial arts—just like now, the frenzied Chen Yu wielded his equally frenzied sword, and in an instant, he had already smashed open the top layer of the vast mausoleum!
In Chen Yu’s sight appeared the figure of the giant.
After so many years, the giant was clearly even larger than before.
This terrifying monster shouldn’t exist in the world.
"Come on! Didn’t you want a surprise?"
Facing the massive giant, Chen Yu stood holding his sword.
"This is the surprise I have for you!"
"..."
To Chen Yu’s surprise, the gigantic giant had no intention of paying him any mind, not even sparing him a glance.
This only made Chen Yu even angrier.
What did this mean? Was it ignoring him?
He had planned for this revenge for so long, and the damned monster dared to ignore him?
"You..."
The enraged Chen Yu was about to shout something, but the words got stuck in his throat.
Only because he saw another monster.
A being with the body of a man and the wings of a golden-winged roc, its fierce face full of murderous intent, clutching an ancient-looking trident.
With just a flap of its wings, the golden-winged roc had flown to Chen Yu’s face.
It was only because Chen Yu was adept in martial arts that he managed to block the trident with his fastest reaction, otherwise he would have become a corpse on the spot.
But what shocked Chen Yu the most was that he didn’t recognize this golden-winged roc holding the trident.
"Are you... Du Chengfeng?"
As sword and spear clashed, Chen Yu was still uncertain, for in his mind, the Du Chengfeng he had sent into the mausoleum did indeed carry a large bag of weapons, but among those weapons, there had never been such a thing as a trident.
Then who, exactly, was this monster before him?
What kind of change had happened here?
"Are you... the young emperor of Southern Chen?"
Glancing at Chen Yu’s dragon robe, the golden-winged roc frowned in mid-air.
"You’ve been hiding your strength all along?"
"Who are you exactly!"
Chen Yu suddenly felt something was off. This golden-winged roc before him was obviously not Du Chengfeng.
Why was there a third monster in the mausoleum?
"Where on earth did you come from!"
"I flew, of course."
The golden-winged roc in mid-air shook its head repeatedly.
"Your Southern Chen defense is too weak, there isn’t even a single sentinel in the sky, and you want to block my army? Can’t you be a bit more serious?"
"You..."
Hearing this, Chen Yu felt a sudden heart leap.
He seemed to realize who this golden-winged roc was.
The soaring eagle in the sky, the trident Suludin, and the army it spoke of... this was clearly the one hidden deep in the Desert North Royal Court, the one called the Celestial God by the steppe people, the steppe khan!
"Forget it, I’m too lazy to fight you."
At that moment, the golden-winged roc in the air even retracted its trident.
"My advice is to run quickly, save some energy, meet on the battlefield later, hope you learn a lesson this time, at least you should give me some amusement... Oh, right, you don’t seem to have enough fighting spirit right now, but don’t worry, once I devour your Capital City, you should hate me enough."
"You!"
Seeing the golden-winged roc about to fly towards the Capital City, Chen Yu instinctively wielded dozens of Sword Qi to intercept it.
He didn’t know why the steppe khan appeared here, nor did he care to know, plans couldn’t keep up with changes, and his revenge plan was completely disrupted—so why was it that the one appearing in the mausoleum was the steppe khan? Where was Du Chengfeng whom he had let in? Where on earth was Du Chengfeng?
"Don’t block me! If you want to die, do it yourself!"
Waving the spear to disperse the sharp Sword Qi in front of him, the golden-winged roc in mid-air suddenly became irritable.
"The last thing I like is dueling! Can’t you stop bothering me! Can’t we meet on the battlefield! Do we have to wait for the thing inside to come out, so we all die together?" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"The thing inside?"
Chen Yu’s gaze involuntarily shifted to the enormous giant in the mausoleum.
Indeed, if that thing crawled out, the two of them might really not be able to handle it—yet at that moment, Chen Yu suddenly realized that the golden-winged roc might not be referring to the gigantic giant.
The massive giant not only showed no intention of crawling out but seemed to be trying hard to suppress something.
"Did you just say Du Chengfeng? Did you send that kind of monster inside? How filial you are!"
The golden-winged roc in mid-air hoarsely howled.
This made Chen Yu freeze for a moment.
Just at this moment, Chen Yu also saw the scene within the mausoleum.
Besides these two monsters, there was a third one.
It was an endless forest of flesh formed by sabers, spears, swords, and halberds.
