Chapter 743: Chapter 742: Furious Shout
Listening to these people’s mockery, the person lying on the ground, with a face mixed with paleness and anger, yelled and stood up, "Shut up!!!"
Surprised by the guy who suddenly sprang up, everyone was taken aback, and then couldn’t help but mock him, "Wow, you’re quite arrogant, huh? Now, I really want to see what you can do."
Having said that, the group of people took out their mystical objects, ready to attack.
The man hastily stepped in front of the woman.
The woman said, "Step back, let me handle this trouble."
The man insisted, "Celestial Lady, you must not overexert yourself."
After he finished speaking, the man took out all the mystical objects he had on him.
Seeing this, the woman frowned, "What are you doing? Do you think you can withstand the attacks from so many of us?"
The man shook his head, "I don’t, but I can’t just watch Celestial Lady be humiliated."
The woman sighed, "Fool, this has nothing to do with you."
The man smiled and said, "No, this has to do with me, Celestial Lady, have you forgotten? Who was it that saved you back then? Now, how could I possibly just watch you suffer?"
The woman said, "But I..."
The man interrupted, "No buts, Celestial Lady, this matter has nothing to do with you at all, it was all my own decision. I will take responsibility myself."
The woman said, "But how can you alone withstand so many of us?"
The man replied, "That’s probably what they mean when they say fortune and disaster are intertwined."
The woman frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The man laughed and said, "Do you still remember the person who saved you back then?"
The woman shook her head, "I don’t remember."
The man said, "Do you remember Liu Zheng?"
"Liu Zheng? I remember him, the man who could shatter eons with a single sword,"
the woman replied.
The man nodded, then turned to the crowd, "This is the Celestial Lady who saved you back then, she is Liu Zheng’s wife!"
"Ah?"
"Really?"
"No, could I have heard wrong? Miss, you’re so fortunate, to be able to marry the Immortal Emperor, truly the envy of others."
"However, do you know the one who saved you wasn’t Liu Zheng?"
"Not Liu Zheng?"
The woman asked in confusion, "But he is the Immortal Emperor, and he did save me."
The man gave a bitter smile and said, "Celestial Lady, have you ever heard a common saying?"
The woman frowned and said, "I don’t understand a word you’re saying."
The man shook his head and said, "No, that person wasn’t Liu Zheng, his name is not Liu Zheng, he is Wang Chen, you must have heard of him, right?"
The woman frowned, "You’re talking about Wang Chen, the one once known as the likeliest to challenge for the position of Divine Emperor?"
The man replied, "Yes, it’s him, but, Celestial Lady, you may not know that he perished a hundred years ago, his physical body has turned to ashes, vanished without a trace, he is completely dead."
Upon hearing these words, the woman’s expression instantly turned pale.
Wang Chen is dead?
Wang Chen actually died?
Is there really someone in this world who could kill him?
Could it be...
Could it be the masters of the Heavenly Court?
Thinking this, the woman’s heart trembled fiercely a few times.
If Wang Chen’s soul were still alive, how terrifying that would be?
No, Wang Chen is completely dead, his body must have decayed long ago, he simply couldn’t still be alive in this world.
"Celestial Lady, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need my help?"
Seeing the woman’s complexion was not good, the man quickly asked.
The woman waved her hand, "Thanks, I’m fine."
Seeing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Celestial Lady, since you’re alright, let’s continue on, I’ll show you around the place, and then you’ll understand," the man said.
The woman nodded, "Yes, let’s go."
...
Soon, the group arrived in front of a palace.
"This is the place," the man said, pointing to the palace.
The woman replied, "Yes, this is it. Let’s go."
After speaking, the woman took the lead and walked into the palace.
The man hastily followed.
...
Quickly, the man led the woman to a pavilion where they sat down.
The man picked up the teacup on the table, took a gentle sip, then looked at the woman with a tender smile, "Celestial Lady, do you remember my name?"
The woman shook her head, "I don’t remember, I was in a coma back then, I remember nothing."
The man said, "Alright, actually I am Liu Zheng."
The woman’s eyes widened suddenly upon hearing these words.
"What did you just say, you are Liu Zheng?!"
"Mm."
The man nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am Liu Zheng, I am Wang Chen, the me of that time was just an ordinary person, abandoned by others. I never cultivated in my life, nor did I learn any Cultivation Method. I’m just an ordinary person, only luckier, having met a cultivator who passed his methods on to me."
The woman exclaimed in shock, "What you said is true? That person, really is Liu Zheng? Has he not ascended to the Immortal Realm yet? Where is he now? How did you get in touch with him?"
"This..."
Liu Zheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his head, "Immortal Lady, I can tell you, but please don’t tell a second person."
The woman nodded, "Don’t worry, this is our secret."
Liu Zheng nodded, "Mm."
"The person you mentioned, he is no longer in this world. As for where he has gone, I do not know either, for I too haven’t seen him for a long time," Liu Zheng said.
Upon hearing this, a hint of dimness flashed in the woman’s eyes, "No longer here? That’s such a pity, I thought he could once again save our entire world."
Liu Zheng comforted her, "Immortal Lady, don’t be too sad. After all, we are still alive and well, and you have your own child. I believe that is enough."
The woman nodded, "Yes, with that, I’m content."
The two chatted about some other topics.
After a while, the woman suddenly felt tired and closed her eyes, leaning back in the chair, she fell asleep.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng expressed his sympathy, "Ah, why is this girl’s fate so bitter? She is such a beautiful and kind person, yet she has suffered such great misfortune, ah..."
Liu Zheng sighed deeply.
Suddenly, he felt a cold breeze blowing over, causing him to shiver.
"So cold!"
Liu Zheng instantly became alert, "What evil thing is this?"
He hurriedly looked around.
"Eh? Where is the Immortal Lady?"
Liu Zheng found that the woman had disappeared without a trace.
Liu Zheng turned pale with fright: "What’s going on? I was just standing with the Immortal Lady, how could she suddenly disappear?"
After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Zheng could not understand why all this was happening.
There was nothing he could do but continue to wait.
...
Time slowly passed.
Before he knew it, half a month had quietly gone by.
"Hoo!"
Suddenly, Liu Zheng opened his eyes and took a deep breath, "I’ve finally made it through."
Liu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Over these days, my body has been recovering day by day. It might be because the Immortal Lady’s inner celestial energy is too vast, which put a certain strain on my body."
Liu Zheng said, "Regardless, it’s finally over. During this period, the Immortal Lady almost fainted every day to save me. I was really worried about her health, but now it seems, I was over-concerned."
Liu Zheng looked into the distance, muttering to himself, "I hope the Immortal Lady can always be safe and happy!"
...
"Buzz~!"
At that moment, Liu Zheng felt an intense sense of danger.
He immediately dodged reflexively.
However, just then, a ray of golden light descended from the sky.
It was a blade, sharp and bright, radiating dazzling light, piercing directly through Liu Zheng’s chest.
"Ah..."
Liu Zheng clutched his wound, screaming in pain.
"Splurt~!"
Then, blood splattered.
His chest was punctured, creating a gaping hole, flesh blurred and bones chillingly exposed to the air, a ghastly sight.
His life could end at any moment.
"No! No! I don’t want to die, I’m still young, I still have a future, I still have so many things to do," Liu Zheng cried out in despair.
Unfortunately, it was all in vain. He was already dead.
...
"Bang~!"
Liu Zheng’s consciousness instantly dissipated like a burst of flame.
"Hmph, thinking you could deceive me, you’re really courting death."
That voice echoed once more.
Liu Zheng’s consciousness was completely destroyed, leaving nothing but ashes, vanishing completely.
"Hmph, thinking you could deceive me, you’re really courting death."
That voice echoed once more.
"Boom~!"
With a thunderous noise, Liu Zheng’s body also disintegrated into nothingness.
...
