CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 398: STILL THE SON OF DESTINY!

Feiyun Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist, I only want Lin Lei! If you find the current conditions unsuitable, feel free to propose another one. As long as it’s within my power, I won’t frown."

Realizing that Shi Nian was not an easy opponent to deal with, Feiyun Immortal Emperor’s attitude changed immediately.

What he wanted was just one Lin Lei.

Everything in this world can be measured with interests.

He didn’t believe that a mere Lin Lei could be worth that much!

Shi Nian didn’t speak, simply continuing to unleash the Destructive God Finger.

This Destructive God Finger couldn’t be dodged; it had to be endured head-on, and despite having the Bloodline Technique, Feiyun Immortal Emperor still began to sustain injuries.

He grew increasingly anxious: "Fellow Daoist, what about one million top-grade Immortal Crystals?"

It’s just a Lin Lei after all!

Shi Nian paid him no attention at all.

"Two million!"

"Three million!"

Feiyun Immortal Emperor kept raising the offer until it reached ten million, but Shi Nian never once paid any heed.

On the contrary, under Shi Nian’s relentless attacks, Feiyun Immortal Emperor’s situation began to look increasingly dire!

"Fellow Daoist! What exactly do you want! Isn’t it enough to just say a number?" Feiyun Immortal Emperor was nearly going mad.

He didn’t believe Shi Nian was this crazed just for a Lin Lei!

She must have some hidden agenda, right?

Could it be because she realized Lin Lei’s importance to herself and therefore sat there driving up the price?

Feiyun Immortal Emperor gritted his teeth, somewhat angry. But then, who made him unable to defeat Shi Nian, and who made Lin Lei so incredibly important to him.

Feiyun Immortal Emperor spoke in a calmer voice: "Fifty million top-grade Immortal Crystals. I just want one Lin Lei!"

The moment this amount was mentioned, Lin Lei himself was stunned.

Was he really that valuable before?

But then.

Would Shi Nian be tempted by this?

Lin Lei wasn’t concerned in the slightest.

Feiyun glanced at Lin Lei between attacks, noting his serene and indifferent demeanor, and his heart sank.

What in the world was going on!

This was fifty million top-grade Immortal Crystals.

If the mysterious woman wasn’t moved, so be it.

But Lin Lei was also so sure that the other party wouldn’t abandon him?

Why was this?

On what basis?

Had their trust really reached such a level?

Feiyun had no time for further thought as Shi Nian’s next attack arrived.

While struggling to handle it, Feiyun gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I truly have no way of dealing with you? Fellow Daoist, don’t force my hand!"

What greeted him was yet another Destructive God Finger.

Feiyun Immortal Emperor was close to insanity.

He roared, his body swelling rapidly, his stature growing a hundredfold in an instant.

Horns grew on his head, a tail sprouted from his back, and his legs each transformed into those of different species.

Shi Nian was momentarily stunned.

The Feiyun Immortal Emperor had suddenly mutated?

Was this the so-called Bloodline Technique, turning himself into an indescribable creature?

Feiyun roared, stirring up all the Immortal Spirit Qi in the entire space.

"Come out, I want you to come out!" The gathering Immortal Spirit Qi formed a massive vortex, aiming to force Shi Nian out of the void!

The Immortal Spirit Power surged, but Shi Nian remained securely hidden within the void.

Feiyun Immortal Emperor took a deep breath and increased his power even further.

Strange patterns also emerged on his body as he did so.

Each of these patterns was unique, but now they bizarrely unified across Feiyun’s body.

This was his refined bloodline.

Lin Lei stared at a certain pattern on his chest, a flash of anger in his eyes.

There, he faintly sensed his father’s essence!

It was Feiyun who had incorporated his father’s bloodline into the chest area.

Feiyun let out a fierce shout, as a surge of powerful strength erupted from within him.

Shi Nian’s expression turned solemn involuntarily.

However!

The next moment.

Feiyun’s attack wasn’t aimed at her at all.

Instead, he directly assaulted the Barrier that Emperor Jiang had casually erected.

"Break!" A pattern on Feiyun’s chest flickered once, and the Barrier was instantly shattered. With the speed of thunder catching one off guard, he dashed straight towards Lin Lei.

He was well aware that even if he exerted all his Bloodline power, he might not necessarily be a match for that woman.

But if he could absorb Lin Lei’s Bloodline, that would be a different story.

It was highly likely that he could instantly break through to the Immortal Venerate Realm!

By that time, he would naturally have no need to fear anyone.

The actions of Feiyun Immortal Emperor were too sudden; by the time Emperor Jiang reacted, Feiyun was already upon Lin Lei.

Emperor Jiang immediately erupted in great fury.

This Barrier was personally set by him. Now it had been broken by Feiyun like this, and if Lin Lei were to suffer harm as a result!

Where would he put his old face then!

Emperor Jiang was about to make a move.

But Shi Nian was even faster than him; in just an instant, Shi Nian was already in front of Lin Lei, casting a Destructive God Finger.

Feiyun Immortal Emperor, disregarding everything else, took that finger strike head-on and lunged straight for Lin Lei!

Shi Nian’s pupils contracted, about to intervene.

The next moment.

The patterns on the chest of Feiyun Immortal Emperor suddenly flickered and then dimmed completely.

Subsequently, the harmonious patterns that had covered Feiyun started to collapse in that very instant!

Feiyun let out a mournful howl and suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of fresh blood in agony.

Shi Nian: "???"

No, she hadn’t even exerted her full strength yet.

Before she could recover from her surprise, the patterns on Feiyun Immortal Emperor’s body began to explode one after another, as if in a competition.

Bang bang bang bang bang, it was as though fireworks were being set off.

The body of Feiyun Immortal Emperor turned into fireworks for more than an hour before finally quieting down.

In the end, only a pile of powder was left floating in the air.

Shi Nian was dumbfounded.

This Feiyun Immortal Emperor was actually quite formidable; she had used Destructive God Finger several times and still hadn’t been able to kill him.

But now he died so inexplicably.

What was the reason again?

Oh.

It was because he directly made a move against Lin Lei.

So, he ended up being set off like fireworks.

Shi Nian looked at Lin Lei, hesitating to speak, as though she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

There was really no need for all these preparations. Just by sending Lin Lei into the Immortal Emperor Mansion, Feiyun Immortal Emperor would probably cool off on the spot.

Is this the true power of the son of destiny?

After the body of Feiyun Immortal Emperor completely turned to dust and disappeared, a figure emerged in the sky.

"Little Lei." The voice was incomparably kind.

Lin Lei’s eyes instantly reddened.

Father, this was his father.

"Little Lei, your father was useless, causing himself to be harmed by a treacherous person." the voice continued, "I left a secret move within Feiyun’s body as my last resort, which would assist you should the day come for you to avenge me. Yet if possible, your father would rather you not seek vengeance, for it surely entails a path fraught with peril. However, if you have heard these words, you must be standing before Feiyun and have avenged me. Little Lei, you must also possess the Cultivation of an Immortal Emperor by now, right? Father... is proud of you. For the path ahead, I hope you tread carefully, for there is an infinitely vast world waiting for you beyond the realm of Immortal Emperor."

The voice completely vanished into the sky.

Lin Lei had already collapsed into heart-wrenching sobs.

Shi Nian understood now.

Originally, the fallback plan left by Lin Lei’s father could only serve as a slight obstacle.

But this time, it was likely due to Feiyun exerting too much force, and his body had incurred too many injuries from her Destructive God Finger. Under these circumstances, the secret move emerged, triggering an explosion of all hidden dangers.

A tactic that could only serve as a slight drag resulted in the end of Feiyun’s life.

How should this be put...

Shi Nian glanced at Lin Lei, acknowledging that indeed, it was the son of destiny.
