565: Chapter 236 Is It Fake_10 565: Chapter 236 Is It Fake_10 Otherwise, the Three Realms would not have been under his control for so many years, becoming increasingly prosperous.
Although there were some flaws, they were truly negligible compared with the golden age.
The number of living beings had reached an unprecedented level.
“Long live the Jade Emperor, eternal life to the Second Heavenly Emperor.”
An Immortal took the lead in shouting.
Immediately, the crowd of immortals followed suit and shouted together.
Yang Jian glanced at the man, who was none other than the Martial Virtue Star Lord.
Seeing Yang Jian’s attention, the Martial Virtue Star Lord immediately showed a pleasing smile.
Yang Jian looked away, too lazy to bother with the Martial Virtue Star Lord.
While the cheers of the people echoed, the Jade Emperor, holding his crown, walked toward Yang Jian.
Sensing the situation here, the ten Great Heavenly Venerates from the Ziwei Heavenly Court all released their qi, enveloping the direction of the Ling Xiao Palace.
This was an outright threat, forbidding the Jade Emperor from bestowing the title upon Yang Jian.
The Jade Emperor sneered, utterly unconcerned.
Lady Houtu was even more disdainful.
She sat in the empress’s place and didn’t worry at all.
If the Great Emperor Ziwei’s side dared to take action, wouldn’t they have done so already?
Could they still be waiting until now?
Thus, both she and the Jade Emperor were quite dismissive and didn’t take it to heart.
The Jade Emperor approached Yang Jian, a kind smile on his face, while Yang Jian knelt on one knee, head bowed, waiting for the crown to be placed upon him.
The Jade Emperor slowly placed the crown on Yang Jian’s head.
Once the crown was set, Yang Jian would have no way back, becoming his subordinate.
After that, how to reshape Yang Jian was all up to him.
Such a nephew with profound potential and great strength was definitely an excellent asset for himself.
Just then, the Jade Emperor suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Before he knew it, a Three-pointed Double-edged Sword had pierced his body.
“Your Majesty.”
Lady Houtu was shocked and furious, ready to rush over immediately.
However, Nezha laughed and stepped forward to block Lady Houtu.
The two clashed, and although Nezha was at a disadvantage,
it would take time for Lady Houtu to subdue him, and she couldn’t get past him in the short term.
Blood oozed from the wound, the gruesome sight startling everyone.
No one had expected such a turn of events.
The analysis of those people was right; Yang Jian’s so-called fallout with the Great Emperor Ziwei was actually fake.
From start to finish, it was all a scheme.
His purpose was to assassinate the Jade Emperor.
Many believed such a feat was impossible, but Yang Jian had achieved it.
When the Jade Emperor was completely off guard, Yang Jian inserted his weapon into the emperor’s body.
The crown in the Jade Emperor’s hand was violently hurled at Yang Jian.
Yang Jian dodged to the side, avoiding the crown.
He gave the Three-pointed Double-edged Sword a fierce shake, unleashing powerful mana that split the Jade Emperor in two.
Blood splattered, causing a heavy sense of dread in many.
Was the Jade Emperor killed?
Under such an attack, even the strongest of beings could possibly be slain.
The Jade Emperor might be powerful, but Yang Jian was not weak either.
With a successful strike, Yang Jian didn’t hesitate and attacked the Jade Emperor’s bisected corpse.
The Jade Emperor’s body retreated, merging back together.
He healed his wounds and stood in the distance, staring at Yang Jian with ice-cold eyes.
“Why would you do this?
Is the bond of the Second Heavenly Emperor and our blood relations not enough to outweigh a mere Ziwei?”
The Jade Emperor’s voice was full of anger.
Yang Jian had racked his brains just to assassinate him.
If it weren’t for his Undying Body, difficult to destroy, that blow would have been enough to take his life.
Yang Jian, although a Heavenly Venerate, now had combat strength no weaker than the Four Heavenly Kings.
Being ambushed by a powerhouse of this caliber, it was natural for the Jade Emperor to suffer, his injuries severe.
Yang Jian’s expression was icy as he stared at the Jade Emperor and coldly said, “Have you ever cared about blood ties in your heart?
If you valued kinship, you wouldn’t have captured my mother and the others a few days ago.
Jade Emperor, does someone like you even deserve to talk about kinship?”
Yang Jian’s face was filled with anger, and his eyes showed nothing but scorn.
Upon hearing his words, the crowd erupted.
The Jade Emperor had actually turned against his own sister.
No wonder Yang Jian showed no mercy in his attack.
Such a person, who didn’t care about kinship himself, yet expected others to value it, was indeed laughable.
Many felt that if they were in Yang Jian’s shoes, they too would have moved against the Jade Emperor.
Having such an uncle was no better than not having one at all.
“Heh, unfortunately, you still didn’t kill me.
Even though you’ve wounded me, it’s still enough for me to kill you.”
As soon as the Jade Emperor had spoken, a black staff appeared behind him.
Bang.
He was struck with the staff and sent flying, spewing out mouthfuls of blood.
Sun Wukong appeared, his face a cold smirk, also surprised that his sneak attack had been successful.
Given the Jade Emperor’s shrewdness, the moment Yang Jian made his move, he should have thought of the cause and consequence and been on guard.
However, the Jade Emperor was wholly unguarded, probably because he was truly blinded by rage.
“Sun Wukong.”
The Jade Emperor roared, furious at this disrespectful and treacherous being who had dared to show up.
“Do you really think that just the two of you can kill me?
That’s far too naive,” said the Jade Emperor in a chilling voice.
Just then, a dazzling Buddha’s Light fell and penetrated the Jade Emperor’s body.
The Tathagata Buddha had made his move.
If Yang Jian’s successful sneak attack was carefully planned, Sun Wukong’s attack was an accident, then the Tathagata Buddha’s successful surprise attack was true skill indeed.
