"It's the eldest prince!"
On the arena, Gu Chen couldn't help but take another look at the noble young man sitting on the main seat.
As far as he knew, wasn't the emperor selecting the crown prince among the three princes?
At this time, if the eldest prince was not staying in the imperial city, why would he suddenly come to Zhenbei Royal City?
But soon, Gu Chen guessed something.
The eldest prince is most likely here to win over the Zhenbei Palace and want the Zhenbei Palace to support him in becoming the crown prince!
Zhenbei Palace guards the northern border and occupies almost half of the entire Daxia Empire.
If Zhenbei Palace openly supports the eldest prince, given the size of Zhenbei Palace, even if the emperor wants to choose the other two princes, he may have to think about it.
This will definitely have an impact on his original promise in Xingyun Palace to help the third prince ascend to the crown prince position.
He originally thought that after going to the imperial capital, he would consider how to help the third prince ascend to the throne.
But now it seems that it has to be brought forward, and now we must at least find a way to prevent Zhenbei Palace from supporting the eldest prince.
Gu Chen shook his head gently and suppressed this idea for the time being.
At just the right moment, a look came over. The owner of the look was none other than Wu Duo'an, the little princess of Zhenbei Palace.
The fifth Duoan smiled at him. Although no sound came out, he could still tell through the shape of her mouth that she was saying: "No need to thank me!"
"Thank you?" Gu Chen shook his head and did not reply.
He just wanted to kill Lin Yuan. If the old man on the arena hadn't taken action, Lin Yuan would have been dead.
There was no need for Fifth Duoan to explain anything to him.
As for the consequences, did he care?
But it was the old man on the arena that made Gu Chen feel a little fluttered in his heart.
I thought that the opponent was just a warrior in the War King realm, but I didn’t expect that he had already reached the terrifying spiritual realm!
"Whoever can help me kill Gu Chen, I will reward you with two heavenly treasures!"
Just after the old man's words came out, Young Duke Lin Yuan, who had already walked off the arena, suddenly shouted to everyone in the audience.
One sentence immediately caused an uproar around him.
There are still two heavenly treasures!
This is definitely a huge feat.
You know, the reward prepared by the Zhenbei Palace for the first place in martial arts at the Royal City Banquet this time is only a heaven-level treasure!
When the remaining nine people in the audience who participated in the martial arts competition from the major princes' mansions heard this, their hearts moved, and their eyes flashed with eagerness to try.
Even the two women sent by the Duke of Meng to participate in the martial arts competition were the same.
But unlike others, the light in his eyes was fleeting.
Before coming, Meng Qingyan had already told the two of them that Gu Chen was kind to Lingmeng Academy and should not be neglected!
Both of them came from Reimu Academy. Naturally, it was impossible for them to use swords against their benefactor from Reimu Academy because of two treasures.
"Brother, what the Duke of Lin is doing is completely aimed at our Duke of Luo. We should stop it!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yuezhu immediately walked up to Luo Tiansheng and spoke eagerly.
Luo Tiansheng shook his head: "No, he was only targeting Gu Chen!"
"But Gu Chen is helping us fight now!"
Luo Yuezhu took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Before, we thought that Gu Chen was dead, so we chose to completely sever ties with Gu Chen, but now Gu Chen is still alive, and he is still fighting for us..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Luo Tiansheng: "Have you completely forgotten what I said to you?"
"Brother, I..."
"I'll say it again, please remember that our Duke Luo's Mansion needs obedient dogs, not unfamiliar wolves!"
Luo Tiansheng hummed and said: "Gu Chen is aloof and arrogant by nature. Such a person is unfamiliar to me, and there is no way he can serve me in the Duke of Luo Kingdom. Instead of wasting time trying to win over him, it is better to train a few more people." Genius!"
Luo Yuezhu wanted to say something more, but finally fell silent.
Because she knew very well that although what her brother said didn't sound good, it was the truth.
It is impossible for Gu Chen to be used by the Duke of Luo Kingdom!
She just couldn't bear to see Gu Chen die on the arena fighting for their Luo Kingdom Palace.
The nine people in the audience are all the top talents of the major princes. No matter how strong Gu Chen is, can he still defeat nine with one?
The spiritual power in a martial artist's body is limited. Once it is exhausted, no matter how strong it is, it will be in vain!
"It's only the seventh level of the Battle King Realm. I don't know where the arrogant courage comes from!"
The moment Lin Yuan's voice fell, a young figure jumped onto the arena.
His movements were so fast that he appeared in front of Gu Chen before anyone else could react.
"Damn, for two heavenly treasures, what's the matter!"
"This speed, tsk tsk!"
When other people in the audience saw this, they couldn't help but curse.
"Gu Chen, your life is mine, and the two heaven-level treasures are also mine!"
The moment the young man spoke, the sword in his hand was unsheathed and struck at Gu Chen.
"Ninth level of the War King Realm?"
Looking at the young man rushing towards him, Gu Chen just shook his head gently, not even bothering to move.
For a martial artist at the ninth level of the War King Realm, there is no challenge at all for him now.
"Hahaha, aren't you a swordsman? Are you scared by my sword moves?"
Seeing that Gu Chen didn't move, the young man couldn't help but sneered: "It's not that you are too strong, but those two are too useless!"
How can such a trash person be frightened by his sword? How can he have such arrogant courage?
As he spoke, his sword was already slashing in front of Gu Chen.
But Gu Chen still didn't move, just stood there with no expression on his face.
It was as if he was completely waiting for the opponent's sword to pierce his body.
For a moment, the crowd watching the battle couldn't help but shrink.
"Does this Gu Chen want to take this sword with his physical body?"
"It's simply an act of seeking death. Being conceited isn't such a way to be conceited, is it?"
Sounds of surprise and suspicion followed.
At the same time, people were looking straight at the young man on the arena.
Everyone wants to see if the famous young man is strong enough to carry this famous name!
"Buzz!"
At the moment when the sword was approaching the young man, the young man finally made a move.
The young man tapped his thumb lightly on the hilt of the sword in his hand, and the bloodthirsty spirit sword was instantly raised. With a flick of his finger, the sword suddenly rushed out of his hand.
A sword cuts through the air.
The moment the sword in the young man's hand approached the young man's throat, the sword penetrated the young man's chest.
The young man's body instantly froze in place.
"How could it be...so fast?!"
The young man looked at the bloody sword passing through his chest with disbelief.
The sword was so fast that he didn't even see it, let alone react!
How could a person who was only at the seventh level of the War King Realm be so fast?
Even if he is at the peak of the ninth level of the War King Realm, the most he can do is this, right?
"laugh!"
The young man immediately withdrew the bloodthirsty spiritual sword, and the young man instantly turned into a corpse and fell to the ground.
From the beginning to the end, the boy's eyes never changed.
It's like killing someone is nothing more than normal.
"this……"
Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, the crowd watching the battle trembled for no reason.
Although many people have guessed that the young man may die under Gu Chen's sword in the end.
After all, there are already two lessons learned from the past.
But I was still shaken by the fact that Gu Chen was wiped out with one sword again.
