Chapter 321 Old Friends Who Love and Hate Each Other

Before coming to Yongle City, Shen Cheng thought that Jin Yan and Yu Feng were his strong rivals and he could not get into a tough fight with them here under any circumstances.

But the development of things is often so unexpected. Before he could even put in any effort, Jin Yan and Yu Feng had completely exhausted their strength in the infighting.

Now that they are both in such a exhausted state, Shen Cheng can do whatever he wants to them.

I thought the internal strife within the federal government, such as the Supervisory Department and the Public Security Bureau, was already very tense, but I didn't expect the Eternal Empire to be even more outrageous.

"You will soon find out whether you are qualified or not."

Jin Yan opened his arms: "Whether you are a viscount or an earl, if you think I have no power to resist, you are totally wrong."

As he opened his arms, the emotional energy throughout the underground space was mobilized.

Shen Cheng suddenly raised his hand, and the core furnace in his body began to beat violently.

A vigorous force shot out along his arm and turned into a dazzling light.

Jin Yan was in an extremely weak state and had no ability to dodge, so he was hit by Shen Cheng's energy beam, which pierced his chest.

The extremely high temperature of the energy beam instantly evaporated Jin Yan's upper body including his head, leaving only a pair of thighs falling from the air.

Before he landed on the ground, Jin Yan's legs had already returned to human shape and his face became paler.

Not only did he recover the damage to his body, but the strength displayed by Shen Cheng in this attack was actually at the same level as them in their prime.

You little brat are really good at hiding, aren't you?
Shen Cheng's act of concealing his strength is equivalent to stuffing an elephant into a refrigerator. Who would have thought that there was an elephant hidden in an ordinary refrigerator?

"Jin Yan!"

Yu Feng saw Shen Cheng's strength and panicked: "Think of a solution quickly!"

He knew very well that if he fell into Jin Yan's hands, he would most likely not die. Jin Yan would at most imprison him. But if he fell into the hands of this strange enemy, that might not be the case.

Moreover, he would rather fail in his attempt to seize power and have Yongle City continue to be in Jin Yan's hands than have anything happen to him and Jin Yan.

Yongle City has already lost Jin Xing. If it loses two more dukes, it will be really doomed.

At that time, let alone launching a war to invade the other two forces, it would be good enough if we don't get beaten by them joining forces.

Shen Cheng also smiled and looked at Jin Yan: "What title do you think I have now?"

Jin Yan did not answer, his face had turned from pale to ashen, knowing that the next moment was a matter of life and death.

He remained calm, opened his arms again, and manipulated the emotional energy in the underground space.

These emotional energies are the accumulation of Yongle City over more than ten years. In addition to absorbing them from tens of millions of residents every moment, a grand entertainment celebration is also held every three years.

After accumulating over the years, the emotional energy here has reached an extremely terrifying level. Except for a small part that was absorbed by Jin Xing, most of the rest is still there.

When Jin Yan said that he still had the strength to resist, he was not just pretending, because he was still able to control these emotional energies and launch an attack on Shen Cheng that was equivalent to an attack from Jin Xing himself.

Such a blow might not necessarily kill Shen Cheng, but it would definitely cause him to be seriously injured and flee.

Shen Cheng also noticed the unusual movements of countless emotional energies in the underground space, and immediately took action to stop Jin Yan, shooting another beam of energy at him.

Yu Feng, who was originally lying on the ground, suddenly unleashed his potential at this moment, jumped up from the ground and stood in front of Jin Yan.

This pair of old friends, who had just been fighting each other, chose to fight side by side without hesitation when facing foreign enemies. Yu Feng was even willing to block the knife for Jin Yan.

This scene made Shen Cheng very glad that he had hidden his strength at the beginning, otherwise Jin Yan and Yu Feng would never have fought each other to this extent.

The energy beam hit Yu Feng and pierced through him completely. The high temperature even vaporized his body in an instant, leaving only his two legs, just like Jin Yan.

The moment he was blocked by Yu Feng, Jin Yan finally had enough time to mobilize his emotional energy.

Invisible energy quickly gathered in front of his chest, forming an energy shield.

boom!
The energy beam hit the shield heavily, and the strong light splashed like sparks from electric welding.

Jin Yan took the opportunity to distance himself from Shen Cheng and attacked him.

Shen Cheng had nowhere to hide because he was surrounded by emotional energy. As soon as Jin Yan started, Shen Cheng would be under attack and had no way to escape.

Countless emotional energies in the entire underground space quickly surged towards Shen Cheng, submerging him completely.

The originally invisible energy becomes colorful due to its high concentration. Since these energies come from emotions, each color of energy represents a different emotion.

Jin Yan raised his hands high. What he had to do was very simple, which was to mobilize energy to attack Shen Cheng.

However, even this simple action had completely exhausted his physical strength. His raised hands were trembling slightly and his whole body was sweating profusely.

He glanced at Yu Feng and saw that Yu Feng's body had recovered, but he was weaker than before.

Yu Feng lay on the ground half dead, even his breathing became weak.

He forced his eyes to move and looked at Jin Yan.

The old friends seemed to have regained the memories of fighting side by side many years ago. Without saying anything, they looked up at the huge colorful sphere in the sky at the same time.

In the energy sphere, Shen Cheng used the energy shield created by the core furnace to resist the attack.

His energy shield has extremely strong defensive power. As long as the energy in his body is not completely consumed, this shield is almost impossible to break.

However, the total amount of emotional energy accumulated over more than ten years has reached a legendary level, which is not at the same level as the energy stored in the core furnace in his body.

The stored energy of the core furnace is being consumed rapidly, decreasing at a rate of 10% per second, and it can't last more than ten seconds.

Moreover, Shen Cheng was unable to break out forcefully because the energy was too huge and concentrated, creating an extremely terrifying pressure that pinned him in the middle.

In these short ten seconds, Shen Cheng responded calmly and decisively, fully unleashing his mind magic.

Mind magic itself is eager to absorb emotional energy to strengthen itself. At this moment, under Shen Cheng's deliberate connivance, mind magic is like a whale's big mouth, unscrupulously swallowing up the emotional energy around it like sea water.

Of course, not all emotional energy was consumed, but mind magic greatly reduced the pressure on Shen Cheng. The energy consumption of the core furnace also plummeted from 10% per second to about 2% per second.

With the addition of emotional energy, the strength of mind magic began to surge, breaking through the level in just a few seconds, evolving from four stars to five stars.

Shen Cheng had no time to check the situation after the upgrade of mind magic, his brain entered a very special state in an instant.

Time seemed to stop, and the colorful energies that were originally mixed together around him suddenly became clearly visible in Shen Cheng's eyes.

He can see what emotion each color represents and can easily understand the joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, bitterness, sweetness, and sweetness contained in them.

What exactly is emotion? Shen Cheng is constantly touching upon its essence.

After the upgrade, the power of mental magic exploded, and it absorbed emotional energy even faster. Shen Cheng didn't even need to use the energy shield anymore.

After about ten seconds, the absorption of emotional energy by mind magic had reached a limit and it was difficult to absorb any more. Shen Cheng only needed to use mind magic to resist. The total amount of emotional energy added up had indeed reached a legendary level.

But after a part of it was absorbed by the mind magic, its strength has dropped to the level of Ace, and the five-star full-level mind magic can easily block it.

Shen Cheng even absorbed the emotional energy into his body to replenish the energy lost in the core furnace and restore his condition to its best.

Jin Yan and Yu Feng would never have imagined that the blow they had expected to seriously injure Shen Cheng would actually upgrade his abilities and replenish the lost energy.

Outside the energy sphere, Jin Yan still raised his hands, controlling the emotional energy to attack Shen Cheng.

Although this action completely exhausted his physical strength and made his body shaky, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Ten seconds passed, and Yu Feng, who had recovered a little strength, asked weakly: "What will happen to him?"

"do not know!"

Jin Yan replied in the same weak tone.

This was the first time he had controlled such a huge amount of energy to attack, and he was not sure what the consequences would be.

Logically speaking, this emotional energy is not as violent as other energies, and can only destroy the enemy's brain at most.

However, with such a high concentration of energy, it is very possible to evaporate the entire enemy.

As time went by, both Jin Yan and Yu Feng began to feel something was wrong.

Such a powerful attack should have decided the outcome in an instant. If Shen Cheng could hold out for so long, it would mean that such an attack could not pose a real threat to him.

"Hey!"

Yu Feng was about to continue asking Jin Yan questions, but as soon as he shouted the word "Hey", the colorful emotional energy in the air exploded.

boom!
The high concentration of energy spread in all directions, and in an instant formed a violent wind that blew across the entire underground space.

Jin Yan and Yu Feng, who were too weak, were even blown away by the wind, spinning in the air and flying dozens of meters away.

Jin Yan hit a huge rock with a bang, and then Yu Feng flew over and hit him hard, almost making him vomit blood.

After the strong wind died down, they both fell to the ground.

But they ignored the pain in their bodies and looked up at the sky in a hurry, then all showed expressions of surprise.

Not to mention the easily excited Yu Feng, even the usually calm and indifferent Jin Yan was broken at this moment, his mouth slightly open and his eyes wide open.

In the eyes of the two, Shen Cheng was floating in the air safely. Not to mention being injured, even his clothes and hairstyle were not messy.

Being able to block a legendary attack with such ease should be legendary in itself.

But this is simply impossible. If Shen Cheng really possesses legendary power, then Yongle City, without Jin Xing's protection, would be at his mercy. Would he really need to disguise his strength from the beginning?
Under the confused eyes of Jin Yan and Yu Feng, Shen Cheng came in front of them.

He didn't take advantage of the situation and say anything pretentious like "I have to thank you guys". He just raised his hand towards Jin Yan, ready to get rid of him first.

Yu Feng came back to his senses and immediately stood in front of Jin Yan, panting and saying, "What are you going to do?"

"Get out of the way, you're not my target."

Shen Cheng stared at Jin Yan.

In the entire Yongle City, the most troublesome people besides Jin Xing are Jin Yan. Letting him live will only affect Shen Cheng's next actions.

Yu Feng did not move aside, but growled: "What? Am I worse than him in any way? Even in being killed, I have to rank behind him?"

Shen Cheng was speechless when he heard this.

No, buddy, do you have to rank high and low on this kind of thing?

If Yu Feng didn't want to keep it for future use, Shen Cheng would definitely choose to satisfy him and let him experience the feeling of winning.

Jin Yan also regained his composure and asked, "Your Excellency the Special Envoy, I don't understand why you are doing this. Do you want to kill us and start a war while Yongle City is leaderless?"

"This is not something you, a dying person, should be concerned about."

Shen Cheng did not answer Jin Yan's question, but asked: "Do you have any last wishes?"

"I'm not as skilled as others, there's nothing much to say."

Jin Yan closed his eyes: "Yu Feng, get out of the way."

The moment Shen Cheng easily blocked the emotional energy attack, Jin Yan knew that they were doomed to lose. Unless they could see through Shen Cheng's disguise from the beginning and then join forces with Yu Feng, they would have no chance of stopping Shen Cheng.

But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Because he looked down on Shen Cheng, a mere "superhuman", he and Yu Feng put all their strength into internal fighting, which resulted in both of them falling into the hands of the enemy.

Such a frustrating and ridiculous failure, even if he died to apologize, Lord Jin Xing would not forgive him.

"Shut up!"

Yu Feng still stood in front of Jin Yan: "If you want to kill him, you have to step over my body first."

He wanted to defeat Jin Yan and seize power just to prove that he was stronger than Jin Yan. It was not because he had any hatred towards Jin Yan. On the contrary, no one had deeper feelings for Jin Yan than he did.

And even though he was unwilling to admit it, Yu Feng knew in his heart that apart from Jin Xing, Jin Yan was the mainstay of Yongle City.

As long as Jin Yan is still alive, Baiye Kingdom and Qin Wangling will have to think twice before doing anything.

Therefore, no matter what, Yu Feng could not let Jin Yan die here, in front of him.

Looking at this pair of old friends who have a deep relationship but love and hate each other, Shen Cheng felt a little touched, but the positions of both sides are already enemies, and when facing the enemy, he will never show mercy.

With a flick of his finger, he used his telekinesis to drag Yu Feng, who refused to move, to the side.

"farewell."

Shen Cheng whispered this sentence to Jin Yan, who was closing his eyes and waiting to die, and then released the energy of the core furnace, wrapping up Jin Yan completely.

The core furnace has three energy forms: black energy representing corrosiveness, red energy representing high temperature, and blue energy representing low temperature.

This time, Shen Cheng released extremely corrosive black energy, which instantly corroded Jin Yan's flesh and blood, leaving him no chance to heal himself and causing him no unnecessary pain.

Facing the Duke Jin Yan, Shen Cheng still maintained a trace of respect in his heart.

Whether internally or externally, Jin Yan's beliefs and actions are extremely outstanding. He is even actively maintaining peace and suppressing war hawks like Yu Feng.

Therefore, Jin Yan deserves a dignified departure.
