CHAPTER 999: CHAPTER 249: GAINING THE DIVINE TECHNIQUE, SUMMER GOD’S WRATH (PART 6)

Zhou Yu collapsed in tears.

He would never forget, when he was five years old, his father drove his mother and him out of the mansion for the sake of a vixen.

The reason was that his mother had poisoned his father’s pregnant concubine.

But how could his kind mother do such a thing? His mother and he were driven out of the mansion, left to fend for themselves, and at that time, they faced scorn and suffered all kinds of hardships.

Finally, he met his master, and on that very night, his mother committed suicide.

He cried bitterly, and his master said that this was the fate of a Heavenly Mandate Person, that he was destined to overcome his parents, and if he wanted revenge, he should learn martial arts well, return home, and find his biological father...

He returned to the Fishing Guild with the purpose of avenging his mother.

But his beast of a father wanted to use familial affection to change him. How could he fall for such superficial flattery? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

So he rebelled, he was disobedient, he became the enemy of his father.

And why did he consider himself a person of destiny? It was because he had been treated like a dog since childhood, and this was his stress response; absolute inferiority turned to absolute arrogance.

When his master told him that the first half of a Heavenly Mandate Person’s life was inevitably painful, he felt that his days of wandering with his mother like a dog were his tribulation.

After the tribulation, he became the incarnation of divine presence, the child of the heavens, the Heavenly Mandate Person!

Everyone’s personality is shaped by innate reasons; no one is born strange.

Zhou Yu’s tears fell like rain, his eyes were full of tears, and in his gaze was a complex expression of hatred, helplessness, and an indescribable emotion.

He hated Zhou Feng, hated his ruthlessness back then, hated him for causing his mother’s death, hated him for giving him a dog-like childhood.

But he also had deep feelings for this father. Lacking fatherly love since childhood, he felt the love of a father after returning to the Fishing Guild, but he did not dare to accept it. He feared that accepting fatherly love meant forgetting his mother’s hatred, so he gritted his teeth and struggled in pain.

He lived in such a tangled state.

He could only use the favor of destiny and ambition to cover his inner fragility and fear.

Yes, fear, he was very afraid.

After all, his arrogance was an act, in his bones, he was insecure, insecure to the core.

At this moment, seeing Zhou Feng standing in front of him, he thought of his mother, thought of that once ruthless father.

Why, why did you treat my mother like that back then!

"Zhou Feng, I hate you!"

Zhou Yu roared, and Zhou Feng’s body clearly trembled; he knew his son’s words had been held in his heart for a long time.

Indeed, he had wronged their mother and son back then, but, the poison was truly given by Zhou Yu’s mother, but mentioning this now was meaningless.

The past was something he no longer wished to discuss; now, he was just a father wanting to save his son, perhaps unable to, but that was not important.

Whether he could save him was one thing; whether he was willing to save him was another.

Fish-Dragon Three Changes!

"Fish and Dragon Palm!"

Zhou Feng roared, using all his Gang Qi, concentrating it into himself, and pushed this palm towards Chen Jie, a palm filled with a father’s longing for his son.

Die for me!

With a roar, Zhou Feng unleashed all his Gang Qi, squeezing out the power of the Fish-Dragon Three Changes.

This was the Fish-Dragon Three Changes, not the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor. Although this technique could be considered top-notch among the world’s second-rate skills, it was of no use.

Chen Jie was using the "Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique" imbued with destiny.

Looking at Zhou Feng striking towards him with this deadly palm, Chen Jie did not dodge nor evade, but faced it head-on.

He even felt a bit reluctant to let this man’s palm hit nothing.

Chen Jie adopted the Dragon Capturing Stance with both hands, turning all his Gang Qi, and met Zhou Feng’s palm!

[Crossing the River!]

Boom!

With one palm strike, the dragon roared to the heavens, and Zhou Feng was flung back like a kite with a broken string, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and his Eight Extraordinary Meridians shattered inch by inch.

He was completely devoid of life.

Pa!

Watching Zhou Feng’s body crash to the ground, Zhou Yu’s tears had already dried, and there was a trace of determination and relief in his gaze.

The worldly entanglements of my matters are almost over.

In fact, this is quite good.

Tap tap tap...

Chen Jie walked slowly to Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu looked up at Chen Jie, his gaze full of melancholy, no hatred, nor any other emotion.

He looked at Chen Jie and said: "Chen Jiusi, destiny lies with you and not me, that is the reason for my failure."

"But through this battle, I’ve realized there are likely many people in this world who are destined, even in this small Huangzhou Prefecture, there is you and me, let alone this world."

"And moreover, Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor, perhaps other people will have other divine skills, so your future path will not be easy!"

Chen Jie looked at Zhou Yu and said: "Though the road is long and difficult, my heart is like iron, indestructible. I am surely the ultimate victor!"

Zhou Yu lightly nodded and said: "Good luck to you, if someday you truly ascend to the imperial throne, please remember that there was once someone named Zhou Yu who was your opponent on the way!"

"I will remember."

Chen Jie nodded, Zhou Yu said: "Thank you!"

As he spoke, blood flowed from his seven orifices; he had cut his meridians, for a Heavenly Mandate Person must have a death befitting his fate.

Chen Jie fulfilled his wish, sighing.

He placed the father’s and son’s bodies together, maintaining his habit of searching the bodies, although these two were somewhat notable figures, equipment must be given if it’s deserved.

Soon, Chen Jie had found things from both their bodies.

There was quite a lot, silver notes amounted to ten thousand taels, plus martial arts secret manuals, and some precious herbs carried with them.

They were fleeing, so all the valuables were on them.

Chen Jie packed the items, most valuing the Fish-Dragon Three Changes, the Fishing Guild’s sect skill!

This skill is quite powerful, although merely second-rate, it is better than the martial arts used by Zhou Chu; let it be for Zhou Chu when I go back.

Thinking this, Chen Jie returned to the mountain stronghold, finding thirty thousand people already starting to transport grain, an hour later, eighty percent of the grain was moved.

Seeing this, Chen Jie felt it was about time, and said: "Set it on fire."

With a call to set it on fire, the entire mountain stronghold suddenly ignited.

At this time, far away in Huangzhou Prefecture, Elder Quan, Han Miaozhen turned back to see the base camp burning, instantly dumbfounded.

The old base is on fire!!
