My stunning iceberg CEO wife

Chapter 193: Chapter 192 Emperor Yan

Long Ying led his people away, their target set on Moon Dragon Hall—the struggle for dominion over the territories of the Shadow Force was a matter of strength. The most terrifying power dictates supremacy.

After everyone had left, Mu Chen looked towards the Dark Forest and said, ”Well, since you’ve come, come on out!”

”I didn’t want to appear, but what you’ve done recently is too much,” said a man with a ghoulish mask, appearing beside Mu Chen.

”Done too much? Could it be that you too have benefited from the Ling Family?”

”Excessive doesn’t mean you are wrong. It means you’ve stirred up trouble, unsettling everything and breaking much. You understand what I mean.”

”So, are you saying that your interests have been affected?”

”When rules are broken, many people are affected. You should understand the butterfly effect.”

”And? What’s the purpose of your visit?”

”I’m here to persuade you to stop immediately. Otherwise, we will take action against you.”

”If you dare to speak to me with that tone again, I will make the people from Hell come after you, by whatever means necessary, I will play you to death.”

”The terror of Yun Country is not as you imagine. There are people beyond you, and heavens beyond the heavens. It’ll be your downfall in the end.”

”Yun Country is indeed terrifying, but do you represent Yun Country?” Mu Chen sneered.

”Interesting, it looks like you won’t shed a tear until you see your own coffin.” The masked man’s murderous intent escalated, focusing on Mu Chen.

”Heavenly Shadow Guards, overseeing various clans, maintaining their relationships. Your strength is truly terrifying, and as the deputy leader, you’re certainly out of the ordinary. But in my eyes, you’re just trash.”

”Mu Chen, you were so arrogant back then, breaking every rule, crippling so many. Back then, those big shots protected you, nobody dared to touch you. But now, it’s different. No one’s got your back. Watch me cripple you today.”

”Do you know of the gods?” Mu Chen said indifferently, a fiery aura emanating from his eyes. Instantly, energy fluctuations faintly appeared in the surrounding space.

”Gods, mere legends of the West Continent. But over the years, legends remain legends; people grow old and die. The word ’gods’ no longer strikes fear.”

”It seems the real frog at the bottom of the well is you. I’m astounded as to how you reached the Ash Level Realm. Perhaps through potions, or something else?” Mu Chen’s eyes flickered as he spoke.

”How I achieved it is none of your concern. But today, I will cripple you.”

”Cripple me? Who gave you that power?”

”No one bestowed that power on me, but there are people who want you dead, and worse than dead.”

”I didn’t want to use Divine Power, but since you’re of the Ash Realm, it’s different. With Divine Power, those Elders can’t say anything.” As Mu Chen spoke, a fiery aura gathered in his fist, which seemed to turn magma-colored.

”Foolish tricks. You rose to power with such trash. Today, I will be the one to destroy them.” The masked man shouted and disappeared from sight, with a speed even more terrifying than Mu Chen’s previous fastest.

”Heavenly Shadow Guards, seems like you really know something or had a part in a betrayal from years past,” Mu Chen said, his eyes ablaze with flames.

”Trash, you’ll never find out.” The masked man roared, speeding towards Mu Chen.

”Flame Fist.” Mu Chen uttered softly, vanishing from sight.

”Where is he?” The masked man’s expression suddenly changed drastically, sensing the aura of death.

”Right in front of you.” Mu Chen bellowed again, appearing mysteriously before the masked man, his murderous intent increasing.

The masked man’s eyes suddenly changed, not even understanding what had happened before being fiercely punched away, spewing out blood, tumbling on the ground.

”How could this be? How could your strength have become so terrifying?” The masked man’s complexion turned grave.

”It seems you’ve been foolish living for your interests, not even knowing my true strength before daring to come after me. That’s asking for death.”

”Mu Chen, I am one of the Heavenly Shadow Guards, if you dare touch me, there will be those who will kill you.”

”Kill me? Who has that power?”

”No one gave me the power, but there are people who want you dead, and it is worse than death.”

”Originally, I did not want to resort to Divine Power, but since you are Ash Realm level, it is different. No Elder can say anything when I use Divine Power.” Saying this, a fiery aura wrapped around Mu Chen’s fist, appearing to be the color of molten lava.

”Pompous skill. Back then, it was such rubbish that got you to where you are. Today, I will be the one to destroy it.” The masked man roared, and his afterimage disappeared, his speed far exceeding Mu Chen’s previous fastest.

”Heavenly Shadow Guards, it seems you really do know something, or perhaps you played a part in the betrayal of our people back in the day,” Mu Chen said, his gaze fiery.

”Trash. You will never know.” The masked man roared, moving at an incredibly fast pace to strike at Mu Chen.

”Flame Fist.” Mu Chen said lightly, instantly disappearing.

”Where is he?” The masked man’s face suddenly changed, feeling the breath of death.

”In front of you.” Mu Chen shouted again, eerily arriving in front of the masked man, his murderous intent soaring.

The masked man’s eyes drastically changed, not even realizing what happened before being punched fiercely and sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, and rolling on the ground.

”How is it possible? How could your strength be this terrifying?” The masked man said with a pale face.

”It seems you’ve lived so focused on your interests that you’ve become foolish, unaware of what kind of strength I possess, yet daring to come kill me. That’s seeking death.”

”Mu Chen, I am of the Heavenly Shadow Guards. You dare harm me, there are those who will kill you.”

”Kill me? Who has the authority to kill me?” Mu Chen sneered, already holding a small knife in his hand.

”The Twenty-Four Cycle Blades, what do you want to do?” Seeing the knife in Mu Chen’s hand, the masked man became fearful.

”Nothing much. Just want to know some things I don’t know about.”

”Dream on, I won’t tell you.”

”Many have said that, but nobody has been able to hold on. I want to see if you really are that tough.”

”I’ll talk, I’ll talk. Whatever you want to know, I’ll spill everything.”

”I only want to know one thing, that is, who betrayed us back then, causing the death of so many of my brothers.” Mu Chen’s murderous aura increased as he spoke.

”I don’t know that.” The color drained from the masked man’s face.

”Then I’ll make you talk.” Mu Chen said, changing the technique of the knife, ready to start torturing the masked man.

”Kid, I’m dead either way if I talk or not. I might as well not say, and I also know that you, Mu Chen, are ruthless and will never let me go. But I want to know, how did you get all this power?”

The masked man, after speaking, bit down on something, probably poison.

”Killing God, inheriting the divine position.”

”Do gods truly exist?”

”There are gods in our Yun Country as well. You know of Emperor Yan?”

”Emperor Yan, who is that?”

”Never mind, you’re not on the same level as us. Can’t be bothered to waste words with you!”

”If you tell me, let me die with my eyes closed, I will tell you something valuable.”

”Emperor Yan, a formidable god of Yun Country, has protected Yun Country all along. During the great battle of the gods, Emperor Yan was one of them, and these individuals’ strength is beyond any Realm you know of, much more powerful.”

”How did you come to possess a divine position?”

”Like I said, Killing God.”

”Killing God, what strength do you have to kill a god?”

”A god is not all-powerful, not really invincible. Even gods have their weaknesses, and gods can be good or bad, greedy or desirous; that’s all I can tell you. Now it’s your turn.”

”Back during that mission, a certain major family was also involved.” The masked man said faintly.

”So, it wasn’t the Ling Family who sent you after me; it was that major family?”

”Mm, and I know that even if I fail to kill you, going back would mean death for me too.”

”Tell me everything, and I’ll let you live.”

”You might be terrifying, but you haven’t seen real terror. I have, and furthermore, I have a family.” After saying this, the masked man bit his tongue, committing suicide.

”There is an invisible hand behind the scenes. Whoever it is, better not let me find out.” Mu Chen’s eyes changed as he spoke.

”Whatever, it’s impossible to know these things now. First, to deal with some people! Ju Country ninjas, if you’re seeking death, I’ll grant it to you.” After saying this, Mu Chen immediately disappeared into the darkness.
