Chapter 966 – Samsara of the Heavenly Dao
The strange man dragged Xiahou Gang’s corpse into a corner and began to eat. He bit off his arm and chewed on it like he was eating lotus roots. Then he used his fingers to prick his stomach, pulling out the bloody intestines and stuffing them into his mouth.
He raised his head from time to time to look at An Zheng and the others. An Zheng and the others had only taken a few steps forward and this person had subconsciously retreated a little. His eyes glanced at An Zheng and the others, and he swallowed his food as fast as he could, as if he was afraid that An Zheng and the others would snatch his food away.
“This is why Xiahou didn’t dare to come in when he said it, right?”
Chen Shaobai shook his head, he did not know what to say.
The strange man started to eat his thigh after he finished eating his internal organs. He had no idea how a person could eat so much. Xiahou Yuan waall and sturdy man, and he weighed at least one hundred and eighty kilograms. The amount of food he had consumed in one piece was almost all.
“Who are you?”
An Zheng asked cautiously.
The man raised his head and glanced at An Zheng. He squatted down and shrank back again while chewing on a leg that was in his hand.
“How is it inside?”
Someone shouted from outside the hall. Apparently, they did not dare to approach.
“I’m fine!”
Du Shoushou replied, “There iwisted corpse here that seems to have starved to death. General Xiahou is currently inspecting the corpse, he seems to be scared senseless. “All of you, quickly come in and take a look. This dead man is so strange. His fingernails are so long, and General Xiahou even said that he ate human flesh.”
After a while, the emperor, Cao Cheng, under the protection of the High Generals Zhang Ge and Xu Zhe, as well as the Martial Aunt Cao Yanzhi, brought dozens of cultivators into the great hall. As soon as they entered, Du Shoushou closed the door and stood at the door blocking their way back.
Chen Shaobai gave Du Shoushou a big thumbs up. “Awesome.”
When Cao Cheng entered, he saw the person curled up in the dark corner. He screamed and almost fell to the ground. Xu Zhe and Zhang Ge were trying to protect him as they tried to leave, but they were stopped by An Zheng.
“His Majesty seems to be very afraid of this person?”
An Zheng pointed to the strange person.
Hearing the two words “Your Majesty”, the strange man was stunned for a moment, then quickly crawled over and kowtowed, “This subject, Cao Lie, pays his respects to Your Majesty. Does Your Majesty want this subject to lead the troops to war? I have settled in the northwest, and there are no more traitors in the west. This official had also wiped out Hebei Province and swept away the outside world. For thousands of miles, hundreds of thousands of bandits had been exterminated. This subject has already wiped out Liaodong. This subject can still fight! ”
Cao Cheng was so scared that his face turned pale, and he subconsciously retreated. Cao Yanzhi glared at An Zheng as he pulled out his sword to block in front of Cao Cheng.
“Your Majesty doesn’t believe in this subject?”
That strange man’s face turned sad, “I have no intention to be the emperor!”
Cao Cheng suddenly exclaimed, turned and ran. Du Shoushou blocked the door and laughed coldly: “When An Zheng told me, I didn’t believe him. When people said that tigers don’t eat children, you were actually so vicious to the point of treating your own father like this.”
Cao Cheng roared: “NO! If not, how could my Cao family establish a kingdom? “If not, how could our Cao family rule the world?”
“Cao family?”
The strange man suddenly stood up and said, “That’s right, our Cao family will rule the world in the future!”
An Zheng sighed, “No one is pitiful, everyone can be hateful.”
He glanced at Du Shoushou: “Let’s let them continue with their show, let’s go in and take a look.”
From the beginning till the end, the strange person did not look at An Zheng, his eyes were staring straight at Cao Cheng. When An Zheng and the others walked towards the rear hall, he suddenly shouted: “It’s actually you, unfilial son! I, Cao Lie, have been unstoppable my entire life, unrivalled in the world, but I was actually harmed by an unfilial son like you! Come over here, I’ll tear you apart alive! ”
Cao Cheng retreated quickly: “Kill him, kill him!”
Xu Zhe and Zhang Ge looked at each other, but neither of them moved. The two only protected Cao Cheng and retreated. Only Cao Yanzhi stepped forward and thrust her sword toward that strange man’s throat.
With a “pa” sound, that eccentric actually managed to catch the extremely sharp sword with one hand, causing Cao Yanzhi to be unable to pull it out. The weird guy slightly raised his chin, looking down at them: “Gu Nan is fighting in the north, dominating the world. There are countless heroes in the world who have been killed by me. You youngsters think you are qualified to kill me? ”
Witurn of his wrist, the long sword turned into a fried dough twist and wrapped around his hand. When he let go, the long sword immediately cracked and shattered into countless pieces. The broken body of the sword shot out like an explosive bullet. Several cultivators of the Martial House were directly pierced through and killed. Cao Yanzhi quickly retreated, but she was still unable to dodge in time. Her shoulder was pierced by a broken sword, which penetrated through and flew back towards Cao Cheng. General Xu Zhe used the long blade in his hand to block, and with a dang sound, his blade broke. Zhang Ge was slightly slower than him, but only slightly slower. His spear was raised horizontally. When the broken sword struck the spear, the spear actually bent so much that it almost broke in half, causing Zhang Ge to retreat backwards.
Cao Lie laughed at the sky, “Many years ago, someone surnamed Yuan claimed that he was the ruler of the world and single-handedly exterminated his clan. Some with surname Lu boasted that they were invincible in this world, yet they killed him under the city alone. Those heroes who used the world as a chessboard, who wouldn’t bow down to them? “You kids actually dare to draw your swords in front of me?”
The moment he stood up, he gave off a domineering aura.
Cao Lie moved forward, and instantly appeared in front of Cao Cheng. Cao Yanzhi extended her hand out and with a slap of Cao Lie’s palm on her chest, Cao Yanzhi flew out like a broken kite, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood in midair. Zhang Ge tried to block, but Cao Lie’s punch broke apart his iron spear. Zhang Ge fell backwards onto the ground, his face pale white. Xu Zhe came over to block, but Cao Lie glared at him furiously with his tiger eyes. Xu Zhe kneeled down and said, “This official knows his wrongs!”
Cao Lie walked over and when he was in front of Cao Cheng, he lost the support from his left and right and kneeled down on the ground withump: “Your son … This son has no choice but to do so. ”
Cao Lie laughed coldly: “You’re actually called Emperor? In that case, I won’t kill you. Since the Cao family had already dominated the world, they could not afford to ruin their ten-thousand-year future. But let me tell you, your horizons are too low. I know why you plotted against me all those years ago. You think that the alliance of nations and I was wrong to give up the great situation of dominating the world at that time and lead the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb’s elites to attack the Immortal palace. The most important thing to you is to ascend the throne … My child. ”
Cao Lie reached out and grabbed Cao Cheng by his collar to lift him up, “Your horizons are really too low … Why do I need to go to war for so many years? Not for a country. Under the rule of the immortal palace, the mortal world was in danger. I want to rule the world, to end this chaotic world, to resist the immortal palace. The world is unfair. What benefits do you have if you are anxious to become the emperor? They were just the targets of the public … Under the Immortal Palace, even if one were to become the emperor, he would only be an ant in their eyes. ”
“I never believe in destiny!”
Cao Lie said: “Child, do you think that the truly strong are the Peerless Emperors? No... I could have done it years ago if I had only been an emperor. What I want is to conquer all the experts in the world. Whether it is the Mortal Realm or the Immortal Palace, they are just a battle in my journey. Do you know what I want? ”
Cao Cheng was so scared that he could only shake his head.
“Sigh …” You have my blood in your bones, and yet you are so weak. How could I, Cao Lie, a hero of my life have such a good-for-nothing son like you? Do you think I want to kill all the heroes in the world to show myself? No, no, no. Since the chaotic world is not even fair, the world is uncertain, so I will continue to fight. What I seek is not for me to be invincible, but for me to live in peace and quiet for a long time. The people of the world are ignorant, do not know how to resist, and do not have the courage to do so. Only I can lead the people of this world to kill all those who oppress us. ”
“The Immortal palace is the real enemy.”
Cao Lie threw Cao Cheng out, “Get lost, get back to be your emperor.”
He lowered his head and looked at Xu Zhe, who was kowtowing nonstop: “You are a loyal subject and a smart person. When you stopped Gu Lao, you did not think about me alone, nor did you think about Cao Cheng alone.
He then looked at Zhang Ge, “You were the first one to ambush Gu Yong, and he didn’t kill you.”
Cao Cheng suddenly roared: “You think you can wipe out the entire world? You’ve basically trapped the entire mortal world in fire and water! If you attack the Immortal Palace, you will only bring about a calamity to the Polygonum cuspidatum Thunb! In the beginning, did I object? Even though you said it in a dignified manner, wasn’t it all for the dream of invincibility in your heart?! In order to attack the Immortal palace, you actually joined hands with Zhuge Qionglu and ambushed the demon army. Do you know that the reputation of the Cao family will be ruined? If the Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism knew the truth, then our Cao family would have been destroyed! ”
“I don’t want any reputation!”
Cao Lie waved his hand: “What’s reputation?! The history books are written by the successful, and what the later generations see is what I let them see. If not for my battle, would Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism have intervened? ”
Cao Cheng: “Kill me!”
“I’ve said it before: I won’t kill you. Even if you’ve tried to kill me before, I will still not kill you.”
Cao Lie said coldly: “Scram, go back and guard the Cao family’s mountains and rivers, and be a good emperor.”
He turned around and walked towards the Soaring Dragon Stage in large strides: “The person who just entered was you who invited me to kill me, right? Back then, you persuaded a bunch of my old subjects to join hands with Zhuge Qionglu, but you still couldn’t kill me even after joining hands, right? Using a formation to imprison me in the Soaring Dragon Platform, I have to say, Zhuge pi Fu’s formation is peerless in this world, I cannot leave. “But the person who comes in here is in my life or death situation.”
Cao Yanzhi crawled over to support Cao Cheng, but she was thrown off by Cao Cheng. The guards lifted the corpses up and dragged them out. Cao Lie turned to look at them, and the guards ran off.
Cao Lie originally thought that An Zheng and the rest had already entered the back of the great hall, but when he turned around, he saw that An Zheng was sitting on the high throne, swinging both of his legs as he looked at him.
“Is this a court play or a family play?”
“So complicated.”
Du Shoushou curled his lips: “But no matter what kind of show it is, why aren’t there any good people in it?”
“That’s not right.”
Chen Shaobai laughed and said: “We are also in the drama now, we are good people.”
An Zheng looked at Du Shoushou: “Now I suddenly feel that there’s really the cycle of heaven... Do you understand now, why the Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism led us to this place? ”
Du Shoushou clenched his fists and said, “I know … Da Chi already knows who killed his tribesmen, that’s why he brought us here. Although I am not of the Spirit Demon race, but since I have been chosen by the Demon Emperor’s Grand Criticism as his successor, this enmity … The fat grandpa has taken the burden for the Spirit Demon Race. ”
