Chaotic Sword Emperor-Chapter 1 – Madman, Immortal Emperor!

"Ah!"
In the gloomy dungeon, Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes, filled with pain and hatred!
He was bound to the Torture Frame, two blood-stained iron hooks piercing through his Scapula, and four iron chains locking his hands and feet!
At his abdomen, a chilling wound was visible. Despite the copious amounts of healing powder used to sustain his life, blood continued to seep out!
Pain tormented him over and over.
Yet, no matter how intense the pain, it couldn't surpass the hatred in his heart!
Gifted from a young age, he connected with the heavenly and earthly energies at the age of eight, achieving the Spiritual Agility Realm. After his parents passed away early, the family patriarch Su Mocheng took notice of him and adopted him as his son!
After that, his progress became unstoppable. By the age of seventeen, he had formed a seventh-grade Fate Palace!
The first grade of the Fate Palace was the weakest, and the tenth the strongest. The strength of the Fate Palace directly determined one's talent and future. With the emergence of his seventh-grade Fate Palace, he shocked Anqing City, becoming not only the youngest practitioner in the Fate Palace Realm but also the strongest!
A year later, he was proactively invited to join the strongest academy within a thousand miles—the Martial House, with a future that seemed incredibly bright!
But all of this was destroyed half a month ago. His adoptive father, Su Mocheng, personally gouged out his Fate Palace to allow his adoptive brother, Su Yilong, to refine it using a forbidden technique, recklessly enabling Su Yilong to achieve an Acquired Twin Fate Palace!
"Clang!"
"Oh, finally awake?"
The sound of the door opening was followed by a mocking laugh. Su Mu looked up to see a middle-aged man and a young man entering.
Seeing the two, Su Mu struggled furiously, the four iron chains clanging loudly!
"Why! Su Mocheng, for ten years, I've treated you like my own father, doing whatever you asked. I've given everything for you and your son. Why would you still take my Fate Palace for Su Yilong!"
"Why? You're just a dog raised by my father, understand? If it weren't for your decent talent and the fact that I acquired the Body Snatching technique ten years ago, why else would my father have taken you in as an adoptive son, you orphan from a side branch?" Su Yilong sneered, his eyes full of triumph and disdain.
"For ten years, I've waited to take your Fate Palace. Do you know how much suffering and hardship I've endured in these ten years?"
"Your Fate Palace was truly a pleasant surprise, pure and powerful. After refining your Fate Palace, not only has my cultivation increased significantly, but I've also achieved a Twin Fate Palace, far surpassing your previous self!"
"Now I'm not only the number one talent in Anqing City but also the Pride of three cities within a thousand miles. I'm about to replace you and join the Martial House!"
Looking at the triumphantly laughing Su Yilong and the indifferent Su Mocheng, Su Mu's blood-stained face twisted into a self-mocking smile, desolate in its clarity. He understood everything now!
It turned out that from the beginning to the end, he was being used, and all his efforts were for someone else's benefit!
"So no matter how well I do, even if I treat you like my real father and give up the best resources, I'm just a stepping stone for your real son!"
"It's just a pity that none of your real sons are competent!"
"Do you think taking my Fate Palace for him will truly make him an unparalleled genius? Reveling in this fleeting vanity, he will eventually suffer backlash and be left with nothing!"
"Su Mocheng, your retribution is coming soon!"
The faces of Su Mocheng and his company turned ashen. Cultivating forbidden techniques not only had many restrictions but also severe consequences. However, they firmly believed that once they became powerful, they would surely find a way to solve these issues!
"Indeed, an Ingrate who cannot be tamed, ungrateful for everything. You should be thankful for making way for my two sons!"
With that, Su Mocheng turned and left, his eyes devoid of any pity or shame from start to finish!
But Su Yilong did not follow him out.
"Su Mu, you're destined not to see what I'll become."
"But five days ago was supposed to be your big day, right? What a pity, your fiancée is the widely known pride of heaven, a great beauty."
Junrou!
Su Mu's heart jolted, but before he could speak, Su Yilong continued with a vicious laugh.
"Do you know how we covered up your capture? 'Su Mu, guilty of rape, angered a powerful figure, lost his cultivation, and his body was never found!'"
"Hearing this news, the Huang Family immediately called off the engagement to protect their reputation!"
"It's just a pity that your fiancée was wholeheartedly devoted to you and refused to believe it. She not only insisted on marrying you but even stormed our family alone. But her disbelief couldn't stand against the words of me and my father."
"They're slandering me, it's slander, Junrou, don't believe it..." Tears rolled down Su Mu's face. He had met Huang Junrou three years ago, and since then, they had cultivated and faced trials together, sharing joy, hardship, and adversity, with deep feelings for each other.
Half a year ago, he had gone to the Huang Family to propose, and they had agreed without hesitation. Just ten days shy of the wedding, Su Mocheng and his son ruthlessly destroyed it all!
"Tsks, do you know how heartbroken Huang Junrou was when she went back? It even pained me to see it. It's just that I don't understand why she only had eyes for you and not me!"
As Su Yilong spoke, he suddenly burst into a rage, glaring at Su Mu and roaring, "I could have cared for her, loved her, done everything for her. Why wouldn't she accept me? Why did she only have eyes for you!"
"Heh... how could Junrou ever fancy someone as low as you!" Su Mu spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm onto Su Yilong's face with disdain. Su Yilong wiped the blood from his face, trembling with rage.
"How dare you spit on me!"
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
Su Yilong punched Su Mu in the abdomen, causing healing powder to scatter and the scabbed wound to burst open, blood spurting out, and intense pain in his organs!
"Su Mu, you're already a cripple, and you and your Promiscuous Couple will have no good end!"
"Let me tell you, Huang Junrou was so heartbroken when she went back that she's gone mad. She's been missing for five days now, and no one can find her!"
"Ha-ha... A woman who loved you so much has been driven insane. Does it hurt? Do you feel powerless?"
"Bastard, bastard!" Watching the laughing Su Yilong, Su Mu's eyes were about to split with a furious roar, struggling frantically.
"Su Yilong, I will make you pay with blood for this debt!"
"Pay with blood for this debt? Do you think we've kept you alive until now to spare your life?" Su Yilong scoffed disdainfully, toying with a dagger in his hand before suddenly plunging it into Su Mu's chest!
"Your heart is the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, capable of learning all techniques and Battle Techniques in the shortest time. Such a treasure is wasted on you!"
"My brother has had a weak heart since he was young, and there's a heart-swapping technique in that forbidden art. We've kept you alive just to take your Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart for my brother's use!"
"My brother has also waited ten years to get your Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart, just like me!"
Saying this, Su Yilong slashed a huge wound across Su Mu's left chest with the dagger, blood flowing profusely!
"Ah!"
"You're just a dog raised by my father. What's the use of a dog being so strong? You're in our way, you know!"
"So what if the forbidden art has severe consequences? Isn't it much stronger than before? Once we become powerful, we'll be able to solve these problems one by one!"
"I'll take your Dantian, and my brother will take your heart. Isn't that fair?" Listening to Su Mu's screams, Su Yilong withdrew the dagger, excitedly licking the blood off it.
"In three days, my brother will come to take your Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart. Enjoy your last three days!"
With that, Su Yilong left with a mad laugh.
Watching his retreating figure, Su Mu was furious, his eyes filled with madness!
"Ah! I won't accept this, I, Su Mu, have lived with integrity, a talent of my generation, how can I be reduced to a stepping stone for some beasts!"
"You want to destroy me, I will have you pay with blood!"
"All who have bullied and humiliated me, I will spare no cost to slay!"
"Junrou, please forgive me, I swear, I will find you, and I will spend my life making it up to you, protecting you!"
In the midst of his roaring, a surge of blood rushed up, and he vomited it out with a retch!

At that moment, a crack appeared on his forehead, emitting a ray of light!
"Have you figured it out?" The light coalesced into a figure with disheveled hair, ethereal and indistinct, eerily strange.
"You madman!"
Su Mu glared at the figure before him, grinding his teeth, "You've finally decided to show yourself!"
"Have you figured it out?" The apparition didn't continue the conversation, repeating the same words.
"Do I have a choice? Isn't this exactly what you wanted? Mad Immortal Emperor!"
