#170 - Chapter 170: Public Rejection, Revenge of the Two Powers
A proud Son of Heaven wielding a long spear charged toward Jiang Ning.
Using only the strength of his physical body, Jiang Ning sent the Son of Heaven flying with a single palm strike.
"Hiss~"
"This person's physical strength is terrifying. Wang Yinshui of the Great Saint Realm was sent flying by a single palm strike using only physical strength. How frightening."
The spectating guests all gasped.
The sixth-order quasi-emperors from Undying Divine Mountain and Sea God Clan stared at Jiang Ning with icy expressions and murderous intent.
If this weren't the Fire Emperor's birthday banquet, they would have already attacked and killed this murderer.
Jiang Ning fought fiercely in the sky battlefield, displaying invincible prowess and astonishing everyone.
Of course, Jiang Ning used less than one ten-thousandth of his power.
Otherwise, with a casual wave of his hand, all the Sons of Heaven would have been reduced to ashes.
"Yan'er, is this the person you fancy?"
"Good, good. With such strength, I'm afraid even Hua Tianfeng is inferior."
The Fire Emperor smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes," Zhu Yan nodded shyly, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Her future husband naturally had to be the strongest.
"Do you know his background?" the Fire Emperor asked.
Zhu Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know, but he killed Hai San and Qin Tian Ce."
The Fire Emperor confidently smiled and said, "As long as he becomes the Fire Country's consort, the Sea God Clan and Undying Divine Mountain won't dare to openly act against him."
The strength of the Fire Country was not something these forces with tens of thousands of years of history could compare to.
This was also why Jiang Ning didn't directly seize the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique.
"As for his identity and background, we'll ask him after he comes down," the Fire Emperor said, turning his gaze back to the sky battlefield.
Soon after, the sky battlefield battle ended.
Without a doubt, Jiang Ning won first place, suppressing the entire field. Not a single Son of Heaven was unconvinced.
Everyone was marveling at what kind of monster this was, it was too outrageous.
I'm afraid even Hua Tianfeng wouldn't be his opponent.
At this moment, Zhu Yan suddenly felt that this kind of demeanor that suppressed all the Sons of Heaven felt somewhat familiar.
Wasn't it just like that mysterious youth from the Holy Emperor Palace, who had also suppressed all the Sons of Heaven?
Could it be him?
Jiang Ning, having seized first place, arrived before the Fire Country.
"Young man, you've won first place. Whatever you want, just name it."
Then, he looked at his daughter with a smile, "Even the most precious pearl of my Fire Country, this Emperor can give to you."
Zhu Yan had a shy expression, not concealing her joy.
Jiang Ning's strength had completely captured her heart.
"Hua Tianfeng, my future husband will definitely challenge you and become the number one Son of Heaven."
"Back then, when I confessed to you, you actually humiliated me as a materialistic woman. This princess will prove that the man I choose is stronger than you."
Zhu Yan felt a hint of resentment in her heart.
Having been incomparably noble since childhood, being rejected and humiliated by Hua Tianfeng was the greatest shame of her life.
The sixth-order quasi-emperor elders of the Sea God Clan and Undying Divine Mountain had ashen faces, looking extremely unsightly.
It's over.
If this person becomes the Fire Country's consort, wanting revenge will basically be impossible.
Jiang Ning also said without any politeness, "I have long admired the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique. I hope Your Majesty the Fire Emperor will show it to me and fulfill my wish."
"What?"
"You want to see the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique?"
The Fire Emperor looked shocked and dumbfounded.
What was going on?
Why didn't he choose to become his daughter's husband?
Zhu Yan was even more embarrassed, stunned in place, her face flushed red.
He actually didn't choose her, but chose to see the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique!
Impossible!
This must be a dream.
How could her attractiveness be weaker than the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique?
Her heart was also filled with anger. This made her lose all face.
The Fire Emperor's attitude also became cold.
"The Vermillion Bird Precious Technique is the treasure of my Fire Country, outsiders cannot learn it."
"However, if you marry Yan'er, you'll be one of us, and you can learn the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique."
The Fire Emperor said.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Fire Emperor, I just want to fulfill my wish, just give me a glance."
"Just a glance, even a powerful supreme precious technique, I wouldn't be able to learn it, it wouldn't count as spreading it to outsiders."
"You..." The Fire Emperor's face turned pale with anger, extremely furious.
He had already said so much, yet this kid was still pretending to be stupid, unwilling to marry Yan'er.
This caused the Fire Emperor and the entire Fire Country to lose all face in front of all the guests.
Zhu Yan also stomped her foot in anger, even having the thought of killing Jiang Ning.
Was she not good enough for him?
He had made it so obvious, yet he publicly rejected her.
This was trampling her face heavily on the ground.
Jiang Ning frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Is Your Majesty the Fire Emperor going back on his word?"
Letting him marry Zhu Yan was not as good as directly seizing the Vermillion Bird Precious Technique.
How could Jiang Ning marry this kind of scheming woman.
"This Emperor didn't say that I would go back on my word, I promised you," the Fire Emperor forcibly suppressed his anger.
In this situation, he naturally couldn't go back on his word.
Otherwise, even the last bit of face would be lost.
Zhu Yan looked at Jiang Ning with a livid expression.
One Hua Tianfeng, one this person, both had humiliated her.
Was she that bad? Not good enough for you?
Outrageous.
Seeing this, the elders of the Sea God Clan and Undying Divine Mountain revealed expressions of great joy.
Not only did this person not become the Fire Country's consort, but he also offended the Fire Emperor. A great opportunity for revenge had arrived.
"Hahaha."
They were overjoyed in their hearts.
At this time, the Sea God Clan's quasi-emperor Hai Lan stepped forward first.
"Your Majesty the Fire Emperor, this madman first killed my Sea God Clan's Hai Lin, then killed Hai San."
"This is an irreconcilable hatred, please allow me to take revenge."
The Undying Divine Mountain's quasi-emperor Tian Nu also stepped forward.
"Your Majesty the Fire Emperor, he killed my clan's Qin Tian Ce, an endless feud, I beg you to let me take revenge."
The Fire Emperor, who was very dissatisfied with Jiang Ning, in order to appear generous, could not personally take action.
He had long been feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
Now that someone stood up to find trouble with Jiang Ning, he was naturally happy to see it.
He said indifferently, "Hai San and Qin Tian Ce have fallen, it is a matter of course for you to take revenge, this Emperor has no reason to stop you."
"This matter, my Fire Country will not interfere."
The guests started whispering, "This kid is stupid, right?"
"He didn't want to be the Fire Country's son-in-law, and now he has to face the pursuit of two sixth-order quasi-emperors."
"How is the Ninth Princess not good enough for him? He's truly arrogant, he deserves it."
Everyone pointed and gossiped about Jiang Ning.
Quasi-emperor Hai Lan and quasi-emperor Tian Nu were overjoyed and surrounded Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning smiled indifferently and looked coldly at the two of them. Were more people coming to die?
Quasi-emperor Hai Lan said angrily, "Tian Nu, let me kill this person, I also want to avenge Hai San."
Quasi-emperor Tian Nu sneered, "Why should I let you have him? I also want to personally avenge Tian Ce."
The two quasi-emperors actually argued over who would kill Jiang Ning.
They both wanted to kill Jiang Ning personally.
Jiang Ning said indifferently, "No need to argue, come up together and seek death."
"Ice Slave, send these two on their way."
