Mountain-shaking power and cunning sword skills.
The sword energy condenses within half a foot of the blade, and when released, its power suddenly doubles.
Hua Rong's body rotated at an angle in the air, and the heavy sword in his hand collided with Hu Yanba's heavy sword in a cross shape.
The stalemate lasted about one breath.
The savage Hu Yanba gained the upper hand and sent Hua Rong flying six steps away with his sword.
Hua Rong landed, his body very stable.
He stamped his feet and rushed towards Huyanba again.
Hu Yanba's narrow eyes flashed red for an instant, and at the same time, the bloody power on his body revived.
He also roared and rushed towards Hua Rong with a heavy knife.
The terrifying power shook the Chengtian Palace.
Bang!
In an instant, the two men's swords clashed.
An energy storm centered on the two people and spread out instantly.
The civil servants on both sides of the hall were directly overturned. Only the military commander, Princess Sharo and others were still sitting firmly.
Kick, kick, kick...!
Hua Rong was knocked back eight steps by Hu Yanba's violent power. After he stood firm, his arm holding the epee was trembling.
The heavy sword technique he used to 'split the mountain and split the ground' could only force Hu Yanba back two steps.
Hu Yanba's cultivation level is at the fourth level of perfection, but his combat ability can compete with that of the early stage of the third level.
Pei Tong, who was sitting first on the left, looked a little solemn.
Hua Rong tried three swords. Except for Huyanba who half-knelt down with the first sword, the next two swords were all at a disadvantage.
Just as Pei Tong was thinking, Hu Yanba roared and rushed towards Hua Rong like a wild beast.
Hua Rong knew that he could not defeat Hu Yanba, but he had no fear in his heart and rushed forward with his heavy sword.
"Split the sky!"
Hu Yanba let out a low roar, and the air twisted with the heavy sword in his hand.
The impact on Hua Rong's heavy sword only blocked him for a moment, and Hu Yanba sent him flying with the heavy sword.
He flew backwards for more than ten meters before he stabilized his body. After the true energy dissipated, blood marks appeared on the tiger's mouth of his right hand.
On the other hand, Hu Yanba's face was flushed and his blood was boiling. He was obviously getting more courageous as he fought.
In the main hall, everyone's expressions were a little ugly.
Even the four princesses of Sha Luo stared at Huyanba with stern eyebrows. In terms of fighting alone, Huyanba was indeed very powerful, but leading the troops in battle relied more on his brains.
Who knows Huyanba’s ability to lead troops in battle?
Qin Zhong, who was sitting next to Pei Tong, glanced at Uncle Guo.
Hua Rong couldn't defeat Hu Yanba, so he wanted to scare Prince Star Wolf, or rather, the other four countries in the Western Region.
The uncle Pei Tong had to personally take action to suppress Hu Yanba and combat Prince Star Wolf's arrogance.
If he asked Pei Tong to take action, Pei Tong would definitely take action.
But the empress may not be happy in her heart.
After all, Pei Tong was her uncle, with a distinguished status. He competed with a reckless man from the Western Region Country, and even if he won, he would be criticized.
Qin Zhong was thinking about whether to say something, when suddenly his old eyes fell on Lu Ning.
Why did you forget this kid?
In the battle for the imperial edict, Lu Ning won the first place, and his strength was certainly impressive.
But it is not clear how deep it is.
Thinking of the last time he was humiliated in front of the Daming Palace, Qin Zhong's eyes flashed, and now he recommended Lu Ning to take action. This guy should be grateful to me, right?
snort!
If you have the ability to defeat Hu Yanba, I will follow you and take advantage of it.
If you lose, Quan should repay the humiliation you gave me last time.
Seeing the extremely embarrassing situation, the civil and military ministers looked ugly.
Qin Zhong stood up suddenly, saluted the empress and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend someone who will definitely win face for the Zhou Dynasty."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Zhong.
Among the people present, Pei Tong was the only one who could defeat Hu Yanba.
Is it possible to let Princess Sharo and others take action?
Pei Tong frowned, stared at Qin Zhong, and thought to himself, I will sit next to you, let me take action, just whisper it, and stand up to recommend it!
The empress sitting on the dragon chair flashed her phoenix eyes and said, "Mr. Qin, who do you want to recommend?"
"Your Majesty, the person recommended by the old minister is Lu Qianhu!" Qin Zhong looked at Lu Ning and said.
Hearing this, Lu Ning raised his eyebrows.
Pei Tong and other civil and military officials were also slightly stunned, and immediately looked at Lu Ning.
They knew that Lu Ning was young and strong and had more talent than Gu Wushuang, but Hu Yanba's strength was enough to win him at the early stage of the third level, and he became more and more courageous as he fought.
In other words, there is enough energy left to fight against the middle stage of the third grade.
Lu Ning probably isn't that strong yet.
Princess Sharo and others followed everyone's gaze and looked at Lu Ning.
Young man?
Qianhu, the Demon Suppressor?
When Pei Tianbei came on stage before, he did pay attention to Lu Ning, but they didn't pay attention at all.
Who would have thought that the elder Qin Ge of the Great Zhou Dynasty would recommend a young man to take action.
Prince Star Wolf had a sneer on his face, another young man?
"Hahaha... Does Qin Ge always look down on my powerful generals, or do you think too highly of the young men of your Zhou Dynasty?" Prince Xinglang laughed, with an arrogant and sarcastic look on his face.
Qin Zhong glanced back at Prince Xinglang and sneered: "As a guest, you clamor again and again, which is not what a guest should do."
"Hahaha……!"
Star Wolf Prince laughed wildly, staring at Lu Ning with wolf-like eyes with disdain: "I was scared to death just looking at him. Since you want him to die, then let him appear."
Everyone's attention shifted to Lu Ning again, and even the empress was staring at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning glanced at Qin Zhong expressionlessly. He didn't know if Qin Zhong sincerely recommended him, or if he wanted him to go out and embarrass himself?
But why would I do such a thankless job?
Even when the empress stared at Lu Ning, his expression remained unchanged and he stood there indifferently.
Pei Tianbei on the other side leaned back and whispered to Lu Ning:
"Brother Lu, why don't you respond when you come on stage?"
Lu Ning glanced at him slightly, then stared at the arrogant Star Wolf Prince and Hu Yanba with provocative eyes.
Suddenly the empress stared at Lu Ning and said:
"If you defeat him, I will promote you to ten thousand households and reward you with ten thousand taels of gold."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.
Even Qin Zhong flashed his eyes.
There is no such thing as Wanhu in the Demon Suppression Division, but in fact both the Sizheng and Deputy Sizheng are Wanhu.
The empress talked about ten thousand households, which was actually a disguised promotion of Lu Ning's status.
After all, the Demon Suppression Department has one chief and five deputy chiefs, which is enough.
Unless a deputy director is sacrificed, it will be Lu Ning who will be the replacement.
Lu Ning also looked at the empress in surprise. He didn't care about ten thousand households, but those ten thousand taels of gold were really gratifying.
He immediately gave the empress a confirming look.
The empress's phoenix eyes flashed, and she gritted her teeth in a low voice and said: "Trash, in front of the civil and military ministers, of course I mean what I say."
"Even if I don't have money, there's still Mr. Qin Ge!"
"...!!"
Lu Ning's lips twitched slightly, no wonder he was so generous, it turned out to be Mr. Qin Ge's wool!
It's time to kill him!
Thinking about it, Lu Ning said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, they are just two clowns. If they dare to insult the face of Zhou Dynasty, they don't want to leave Jingzhou alive."
The words were threatening.
Let the star wolf prince show an angry look.
At the same time, Princess Sharo and others had expressions of curiosity on their faces.
Young and frivolous people talk big words, but they also have to have some ability.
Is it possible that this young man is more powerful than General Hua Rong, who just lost?
Hua Rong's eyes flashed slightly when he saw Lu Ning walking forward with the Winter Thunder Knife in one hand.
Nowadays, Lu Ning is quite famous in Beijing and Zhou Dynasty.
It's just that he has never seen Lu Ning, but he looks at her twice.
When passing by, Hua Rong reminded in a low voice: "He is very explosive, be careful!"
Lu Ning just glanced at Hua Rong and said without changing his expression: "General Hua Rong, take a rest."
After the voice fell, he walked towards the center of the main hall.
His stern eyes fell on Prince Star Wolf, and he raised a sneer on his lips: "I thought it would be boring to beat a subordinate, but it would be fun to beat his master."
"So, I want to fight you!"
After saying that, Lu Ning raised his finger and pointed at Prince Star Wolf, asking: "Do you dare!?"
Empress: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Princess Sharo: "..."
For some reason, when Lu Ning pointed at him, Star Wolf Prince's mind buzzed and almost went blank.
He stood there with an embarrassed look on his face.
For a moment, he really didn't react to this guy who didn't follow the routine.
Challenge this prince?
If this prince is awesome, will he still use his love to show off his power?
"Do you dare!?"
Seeing that Star Wolf Prince was distracted, Lu Ning stared and shouted loudly. The sound was like thunder, which instantly filled the Star Wolf Prince's ears.
In an instant, Prince Star Wolf's heart collapsed, he took a few steps back suddenly, his face turned red and said: "This prince no no no..."
"dare!?"
"If you have the courage, it's up to you!"
"You heard wrong, I didn't say dare!"
"Prince of Waste!"
Lu Ning glanced coldly and shouted: "I just teased you and scared you. How dare I stand in the hall and scream?"
Hearing this, Prince Star Wolf turned red with anger.
It was the first time I was humiliated like this, and I was really angry.
Lu Ning didn't care whether Prince Star Wolf was angry or not, he said coldly, "Since it's a competition, what's the point of not getting any luck?"
Upon hearing this, Prince Star Wolf clenched his fist fiercely and said: "How do you want to compete? I will accompany you to the end!"
Lu Ning sneered and said: "It's very simple. The losing party must agree to the other party's unconditional request."
Prince Star Wolf's eyes darkened when he heard this, this is a huge prize!
If you lose, I will ask you, the Great Zhou Dynasty, to surrender to the Star Wolf Kingdom. Will your empress also be willing?
"Can his words represent the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Prince Star Wolf stared at the empress on the dragon throne.
The empress did not hesitate and said loudly: "His words can represent the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Hearing this, the expressions of Pei Tong, Qin Zhong and others in the hall were wonderful.
This seems to be just to compare the odds, but in fact it also shows that Lu Ning's status in the heart of the empress is even greater than that of Pei Tong, the uncle of the country.
"Hahaha... Okay, my prince's words also represent the Star Wolf Kingdom, but this unconditional request cannot be seen or touched."
"This prince takes the most precious wolf fang of the Star Wolf Kingdom as a witness, as well as the allies of the countries in the Western Region as witnesses."
"As long as he can win this wolf fang pendant from my prince's hand, the Star Wolf Kingdom will unconditionally agree to the Zhou Dynasty's request."
Prince Star Wolf first laughed proudly, then took off a wolf fang pendant emitting purple light from his neck, looked around at everyone and said.
Seeing the purple wolf fang pendant, Princess Sharo and the other two frowned slightly.
The totem of the Star Wolf Kingdom is the Star Wolf, and the purple wolf fang pendant is the guardian wolf fang of the Star Wolf Emperor.
In the Star Wolf Kingdom, only the most favored prince has a purple wolf fang pendant.
If nothing else happens, this Star Wolf Prince will be the king of the Star Wolf Kingdom in the future.
Taking out the guardian wolf fang pendant, it seemed that the Star Wolf Prince was serious.
"This prince took out the wolf fang pendant. I wonder what the Empress of Zhou is willing to trust?" Prince Star Wolf stared at the Empress of Zhou.
Before the empress could speak, Lu Ning took out a golden jade walking stick from her arms and said, "I will take this as my trust."
For a moment, everyone stared at the Jin Yu Bu Yao in Lu Ning's hand. Anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that Jin Yu Bu Yao was extraordinary and exuding nobility.
Pei Tong, Qin Zhong and others frowned, thinking that Jin Yubu Yao looked very familiar.
He couldn't help but glance at the empress.
The empress stared at the golden jade walking stick in Lu Ning's hand, her phoenix eyes flashing slightly. She remembered that she had given this walking stick to Lu Xiu as a reward.
It seems that Lu Xiu gave the reward to Lu Ning.
"A woman's thing?"
Prince Xinglang frowned. Besides, how can you, a member of a thousand households, represent the Great Zhou Dynasty?
The corners of Lu Ning's lips raised slightly: "Isn't this Qianhu's token of love valuable enough?"
A token of love? ?
The empress' phoenix eyes flashed and her long eyelashes trembled.
Bai Xue and Bai Wei standing on both sides of her stared at Lu Ning's back with wide eyes and disbelief.
This Lu Qianhu really dares to say that!
Aren't you afraid of being recognized and gossiping?
The empress's red lips parted slightly and she said, "I think this thing is good, and I can use it as a token of trust."
Hear this.
Prince Star Wolf didn't say anything more, and he and Lu Ning put their respective letters on the tray held by Eunuch Liu.
When he turned around and passed by Hu Yanba, he whispered: "Hit him hard. If you lose, I want you to look good."
Hu Yanba nodded heavily and stared at Lu Ning who walked to the center of the hall.
At this moment, Lu Ning was adding points to his cultivation.
It is impossible to reach the third level, but adding experience to the cultivation level, approaching the extreme realm, the blood in the body is compressed and rotated crazily, and the new blood continues to be compressed and rotated again.
The blood energy became extremely thick, running wildly through the blood vessels like a giant dragon.
For a moment, Lu Ning felt that his strength had improved to a new level.
It's just a little bit more cultivation. It doesn't reach the third level, but it's better than half a step to the third level.
About one breath of time.
Lu Ning slowly raised his head, looked at Hu Yanba with a provocative face, and said coldly:
"Let's do it. This Qianhu stands here and doesn't move. As long as you can shake me, you will win."
Hearing this, Pei Tong and others' expressions suddenly changed.
Princess Sharo and others were also surprised. Is this boy a bit too much?
Star Wolf Prince was also stunned. Is this young man a fool?
The empress's jade hands placed on her knees slowly grasped the dragon robe tightly, and the back of her hands was a little irritated and turned white.
She knew that Lu Ning was powerful, but standing still and allowing others to attack was impossible without absolute strength and confidence.
What's more, Hu Yanba fought three games in a row and had divine power, which is obvious to all.
Pretending to be cool at this time is obviously a joke, that is, Lu Ning really has absolute confidence in his strength! ?
Thinking about it, everyone held their breath and watched quietly.
"Hahaha, how arrogant!"
Prince Star Wolf laughed proudly and waved to Huyanba.
Hu Yanba didn't expect Lu Ning to be so stupid. Or was he too confident in himself?
"Roar!"
He held a heavy knife in one hand and a fist as big as a man's head in the other. He roared and blasted towards Lu Ning like a giant beast.
Buzz!
For an instant, Lu Ning's body lit up with golden light, and then a five-meter-tall golden bell flashed out.
Lu Ning was shrouded in it, and Buddhist swastika mantras flew above the golden bell, forming a golden protective shield that was a hundred centimeters thick.
