Chapter 699 - If I Don't, Who Will?
Jin Rou looked at Athena and turned to the clouds, "If I don't, who will?"
Athena didn't know what to answer. Indeed, if Jin Rou didn't do it, who would? Who would have enough courage to face Adam, the ultimate threat of this world? It's not that they had capable and strong people on Jin Rou's level. Ordinary heroes weren't enough to kill Adam and they'd just die a horrible death.
"Before I leave this world, I have to kill Adam first. Let's just see it as my final gift and gratitude for my late master." Jin Rou smiled. It wasn't that he was willing to be a hero and protect the world. It was more on as a repayment and insurance for the world his late master protected in the past.
Jin Rou knew that this might be the toughest battle he would ever have. Nevertheless, he wouldn't back down and keep his word.
"You can't die. You have to bring me to my sister first." Athena spoke sternly.
Jin Rou laughed when he heard this and said, "Do you think Adam is enough to kill me? I'm not going into a battle where I will just lose. I am always confident when doing things."
It's not arrogance. It's confidence in his dao and skills. Only Jin Rou was the only one who could say these words and make it real.

Ancestor Violet and Emperor Randies were moving hundred steps per second during their journey while talking. They were going back home and they were traveling by foot for some exercise.
"Ancestor, do you think that Jin Rou will succeed?" Emperor Randies suddenly opened a topic. They were quiet along the journey and he was worried that the ancestor might be thinking deeply.
Ancestor Violet was already too old to stress his self with world things.
"He is Big Brother's successor. Of course, he can do it. Big Brother failed to do so in the past and Jin Rou will make it successful." Ancestor Violet smiled. Then, he took a deep sigh and said, "And finally, the long grudge will be over. It has continued for trillions of years now and it should be put into a stop now."
Emperor Randies didn't comment on this. After all, it wasn't his issue nor he was part of the issue so he refrained from saying anything. However, he was deeply shocked by the revelations a while ago. Never in his blowing mind would he think that the laws were actually blood brothers and they were trying to kill off their biological father. Nevertheless, he would still refrain from saying a thing as an outsider.
Seeing that the emperor wasn't talking, the ancestor tapped his back and smirked, "Stop worrying about it. Tomorrow, everything will end and the peace that our world needs will come. The prosperity of the world will be up to the battle tomorrow."
The emperor nodded and didn't talk. But the ancestor knew that the emperor had already understood his point.
Then, the ancestor suddenly stopped which made the emperor confused but he also stopped to see what's going on.
Currently, the face of the ancestor was serious. It was as if he was ready to engage in battle. Eventually, he said with a strong voice, "You have been following us for a while now. Why don't you show yourself now, no?"
Emperor Randies was stupefied. Someone was tailing them and he didn't know about it? The other person might be very powerful above him! After all, he was dubbed as a genius with the highest alertness in his surroundings.
"Aiya, as expected of Master Violet Cloud. Even my best stealth unique skill cannot escape your eyes." Soon, a familiar figure appeared. He was the brilliant apple of the show a while ago, a very handsome youth filled with vigor. But his ancient was aura leaking with no reservation. It was obvious that he was an old fossil who lived for so long now.
"Grand Honor?" Emperor Randies was surprised. Grand Honor was known for being one of the strongest supremes of the world and rarely make an appearance to the world. However, the said person was tailing them as if he's spying. What might be the reason for this being's action?
"No need to be wary of me, Master Violet and Emperor Randies. I'm just here for a casual talk, that's all." Grand Honor chuckled and said, "Why don't we have a cup of tea while conversing?"
"We just had a tea while ago. Just state your reason why you are here, let's quit beating around the bush." Ancestor Violet said. His voice was filled with command and demand as he spoke. He was not giving Grand Honor any sort of face.
"So taciturn as usual, Master Violet." Grand Honor smiled wryly and his face turned serious, "I just want to confirm if that person you just met with is Master Feng's successor."
"And what if he is?" Ancestor Violet said, "Grand, let me warn you. Don't think about fighting that person if you aren't yet tired of being alive."
"I'm already tired of being alive, no? After all, Master Feng didn't give me the legacy he is supposed to give me." Grand Honor chuckled. There was a hint of mockery in his tone.
Emperor Randies suddenly dawned a realization. He remembered that Grand Honor used to chase Feng Lin around asking to be a disciple. Grand Honor even waited for seven days and nights turning into months and years outside the palace in Phoenix Empire.
Even after being one of the strongest supremes, Feng Lin didn't bother looking at him. It was an utter disappointment for Grand Honor's part. After all, he did everything to get Feng Lin's attention only to fail in the end.
"But I'm not here to do that. I'm not that stupid to actually fight against a law with three legacies. He's already someone beyond my level so I won't dare." Grand Honor smiled, "I just want to know if he really is."
"He is, indeed." Ancestor Violet finally answered.. Countless memories flashed in his mind as he remembered a youth admiring Feng Lin in the past.
