"Young Master, please wait for a moment until the young prince announces the start of the martial arts competition before the martial arts competition can officially start..."
Just when Gu Chen was about to step onto the competitive stage.
An old man with a long beard on the edge of the arena stopped Gu Chen.
However, before the old man could finish speaking, a voice came from outside the square:
"No need to stop me, the martial arts competition can start at any time!"
Along with the sound, there was the sound of rolling horse hooves, and a team of horses quickly appeared in the crowd's sight amid the dust.
When the crowd at the banquet saw this, they immediately stood up, stood upright, and nodded respectfully:
"Meet the young prince!"
"Meet the young prince!"
The shouts rang out and joined the thousands of soldiers standing around the square in unison, rolling in and out.
Then, with the wave of the young prince, the crowd calmed down.
It was also at this time that people saw a young figure sitting on the horse next to the young prince.
The young man was about twenty-six or seventeen years old. He was dressed in rich clothes and had an amazing temperament. Just sitting on the horse was like sitting on a dragon's throne, giving people an extremely strong sense of invisible oppression.
This sense of oppression does not come from cultivation or strength, but from the temperament emanating from the bones!
Stand high, don't be angry and be proud!
The most terrifying thing is that this person is actually one point ahead of the young prince!
You know, looking at the entire Northern Xinjiang, the two people with the highest status are the Young Prince and the King of Zhenbei!
The only person who can stand in front of the young prince is King Zhenbei!
But now, this young man can stand in front of the young prince!
This definitely means that this person’s status is higher than that of the young prince!
"Could he be... from the royal family?!"
The crowd's minds couldn't help but tremble slightly.
If they don't know the young man, he must not be from Northern Xinjiang, so the only possibility is that he is from the royal family!
Moreover, at least he is also a prince!
"Your Highness, please!"
The young prince dismounted and made a gesture of invitation to the young man.
The young man immediately jumped off his horse and slowly sat down on the banquet chair.
Facing this young man, everyone at the banquet did not even dare to breathe.
To be called "His Royal Highness" by the young prince, he must be a prince of the royal family without a doubt!
And depending on the age, he is either the eldest prince or the second prince of the royal family!
This also made everyone take a breath of air.
Unexpectedly, even the royal family and princes showed up at this royal city banquet.
"Since someone has already entered the arena, don't let me affect your royal banquet because of me!"
The young man's eyes fell on the arena, looked at the young man on the arena, and said calmly.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The young prince nodded, then stood up and shouted, the martial arts competition begins!
The moment the words fell, people sent by the major princes' offices stood up one after another and walked to the arena.
There were supposed to be sixteen people participating in the martial arts competition from the eight major princes' palaces.
But because the people brought by Duke Yun and Duke Yue to participate in the war died prematurely at the hands of Gu Chen, so there were only eleven people left.
Eight men and three women!
There were two women among them, both from Mengguo Duke's Mansion.
As for the other woman, her eyes have been falling on Gu Chen since she appeared.
There was murderous intent in his eyes.
"Lin Shiyu!"
Seeing this woman, Gu Chen couldn't help but raise his brows slightly.
This woman was none other than Lin Shiyu, one of the two masters and servants that Gu Chen met when he was in the Xingyun Palace.
Later, her attendant died under Gu Chen's sword. However, he was too exhausted at that time and was unable to kill the woman again, so she survived by luck.
Unexpectedly, this woman would appear here!
Judging from the direction it came from, it seemed that it was from Duke Lin's Mansion!
"Since someone is the first to take the stage, according to the rules, anyone can challenge. Until the person on the stage loses or dies, the next round can begin!"
An old man on the arena slowly spoke.
The sound was not loud, but this sound seemed to have special power and could be clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
At the Royal City Banquet, few people dared to be the first to take the stage!
Being the first to take the stage means that you will suffer a wheel battle!
No matter how strong a person is, it will be difficult for him to withstand the battle of more than a dozen prodigies from various major kingdoms.
It has been many years since anyone dared to do this at the royal city banquet.
Even the most powerful Sky Eagle in the previous session didn’t dare!
And now, Gu Chen has done it!
Even the young prince couldn't help but raise his light eyebrows.
Then he looked at Luo Tiansheng and asked, "Tsang Tiansheng, is he Gu Chen?"
Luo Tiansheng nodded and said: "Back to the young prince, that's right!"
The young prince nodded slightly and looked at the other young princes: "Which of you will send people to fight first?"
"I come!"
Before anyone could answer the young prince's words, Lin Shiyu, who was already gritting his teeth in the arena, immediately rushed onto the arena.
The sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed and pointed at Gu Chen. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gu Chen, you still remember me!"
"Are you coming to me for revenge?"
Gu Chen looked at Lin Shiyu indifferently, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
"Today, I will kill you to avenge Huan'er!"
The moment the girl finished speaking, the sword in her hand sent out a sword rain that filled the sky and swept towards Gu Chen.
"Revenge is difficult, but it is easy to accompany your Huan'er!"
Gu Chen shook his head gently, and the bloodthirsty spiritual sword in his hand instantly unsheathed, turned into a stream of light, and rushed towards Lin Shiyu.
"Boom boom boom!"
The bloodthirsty spiritual sword struck into the rain of swords in the sky, but all of them were shattered by the mighty light on the bloodthirsty spiritual sword.
"laugh!"
There was almost no obstacle, and the sword penetrated the girl's chest.
Including speaking, it took less than three seconds.
Lin Shiyu, who was at the eighth level of the War King Realm, had already died in Gu Chen's hands.
"Only fifteen drops?"
Feeling the increased amount of spiritual energy in the Tianyan Divine Tree, Gu Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.
Previously, in the Martial Spirit Hall, killing a person at the eighth level of the War King Realm would increase at least twenty drops.
It seems that after his cultivation reached the seventh level, the amount of spiritual energy he added decreased by one point.
"If you only have this level of cultivation, don't waste your time!"
Gu Chen glanced at the people in the major royal palaces below and couldn't help but whisper.
"Shiyu!"
"Gu Chen, I'm going to kill you!!"
Seeing Lin Shiyu being killed instantly, a young man who also belonged to Lin Guogong's mansion became furious.
He immediately rushed onto the arena, unsheathed a long sword in his hand and slashed at Gu Chen.
"Ninth level of War King Realm? Not bad!"
Looking at the other party, Gu Chen smiled faintly.
He reached out and waved to Lin Shiyu's body, and the long sword inserted into Lin Shiyu's chest suddenly flew up.
After Gu Chen pointed out, a bright bloody sword light was drawn in mid-air, and the sword struck the long sword in the young man's hand.
"Keng!"
The long knife broke into two pieces instantly without any resistance.
And at the same time, half of the young man's face was broken off!
