Chapter 59: A Contest!

  This gaze, which looks ordinary at first glance, is actually a combination of the Emperor's Divine Technique and the Ice Heart Piercing Jade Bone Technique. He wants to give his opponent an unbeatable feeling from the very first impression, and also give them a feeling that 'this person is born to be a king'.

  Once this feeling is planted, it will be a great help to recruit this person in the future, and the cooperation or recruitment between the two parties will be a natural process!

  At this time, Tie Butian naturally thought that the other party was just passing by and had no defense against his gaze. In fact, whether in battle or conversation, people generally pay attention to their opponent's eyes, but who would have thought that there could be such an effect in the eyes?

  And this glance from Chu Yang was even more intentional!

  For this glance, he even drew out all the cold air from the Seven Yin Gathering Place at the tip of the Nine Calamity Sword, using it as his own strength to create an icy atmosphere that sealed a thousand miles, first striking a chord, and then gathering the unbridled energy in his heart, unleashing this glance!

  Just this one glance was enough to leave an indelible impression on Tie Butian!

  Chu Yang's eyes were calm, sharp and proud, like the wolf king of the northern grasslands, as sharp as a sword, as cold as ice. In these eyes, there was no emotion!

  In such a gaze, all living beings under heaven are but ants that can be slaughtered; the nine-layered heavenly palace is like a weed that can be trampled!

  But the gaze of Tiě Bǔ Tiān is warm and gentle, calm and waveless, like the sea embracing a hundred rivers, high and boundless; yet it's as if gazing down at the mortal world from the clouds of the ninth heaven, an air of lofty majesty, spreading far and wide with the wind!

  I am here, and I reign supreme!

  Under the vast sky, all is the king's land; within the king's borders, all are the king's subjects!

  One with intention, one without, yet both went all out unintentionally!

  This is a showdown!

  But this contest had no winner or loser. If Chu Yang's gaze was a wave, Tie Bu Tian's gaze was a reef. The waves surged and rolled up thousands of snowflakes. The reef stood firm, unmoving.

  Was it the reef that shattered the waves or was it the waves that submerged the reef? Who can say clearly who won and who lost?

  But after that one glance, Chu Yang was like a strong gust of wind, passing by the side of Tie Bu Tian's horse four or five zhang away, without stopping for even a moment, sweeping past like a whirlwind, and with a whooshing sound, transformed into a virtual shadow, disappearing in the direction of the city gate. From start to finish, his eyes didn't change at all.

  Tie Bu Tian's gaze also calmly retracted, as if deep in thought.

  It seems this time it was just a coincidence, an extremely brief encounter.

  Even Tie Butian and others also regarded this reunion as a coincidence!

  "What a terrifying person." After Tie Butian's body shook, dozens of masters who had accumulated their energy to the fullest suddenly let out a sigh of relief, with a heavy expression on their faces. Several people even had cold sweat seeping from the tip of their noses. A loud cracking sound came from underfoot, as the suddenly released energy actually shattered the ground beneath their feet!

  The chill of the previous moment was like a thousand miles of ice, leaving everyone feeling as if they had fallen into an icy cave.

  Although the opponent did not make any move, just flew by, everyone had a feeling that a sharp sword was breaking through the air and coming to kill people and generals, and then flying away after breaking through the air. The momentum is unstoppable!

  "Fearsome person? How fearsome?" Tie Butian thoughtfully gazed in the direction of Chu Yang's departure, slowly asking.

  "This person, looking at his eyes and observing his demeanor, is probably one of the top executioners in the world!" A man in a green robe beside Tie Butian took a deep breath and said in a strongly guarded tone: "However, this person's goal is obviously not the prince. Because when he looks at you, Prince, there isn't even a hint of killing intent. There's only one kind... indifference."

  As he spoke, dozens of people around him suddenly looked thoughtful: facing the crown prince of a country, such a grand ceremony, yet so indifferent and disdainful... The toughness of this person's nerves and his composure can be seen in general.

  But, having searched every corner of my mind, I couldn't think of anyone in the jianghu who was like this. This person was obviously very young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old, but after thinking through all the young heroes, I found that no one matched the conditions revealed by this person. Who is this person?

  "Oh?" A faint smile floated onto Tie Butian's jade-like face, and he said softly: "Fearsome people, aren't they also interesting people? If not targeting me, then there's a high possibility they're not enemies. Since they're not enemies, could they become friends?"

  Looking back, Tie Butian gazed at Du Shiqing's chariot and pondered: "The person just now seemed to have flown from the direction of Du Shen Yi? Before this, there wasn't such an aura, right? So, his original position should be within Du Shiqing's team?"

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and couldn't help but nod their heads.

  This is quite obvious.

  "If such a master exists in Du Shiqing's team, then Du Shiqing must know this person." Tie Butian said with a sense of relief: "And the direction this person went is within Iron Cloud City..."

  His eyes flashed and he smiled: "Such a talent, how can we let it go? Send two people to see if they can keep up, but no matter what, don't offend the conflicting parties."

  The two men behind him nodded and retreated from the ranks, mounted their horses, whipped them fiercely, and galloped away in the direction of the city gate.

  Tie Butian didn't turn back, he simply swept his sleeve and said, "Everyone follow me forward to welcome Du Sheng."

  Chu Yang brushed past Tie Butian like a whirlwind and was instantly far away, but until he had entered the city gate, the shock in his heart still hadn't subsided.

  "How could this be?" Chu Yang was filled with doubts in his heart. "How could it be the Ice Heart Jade Bone Technique? Why would it be the Ice Heart Jade Bone Technique? I wouldn't be surprised if he could use the Emperor's Divine Technique, as that is indeed the royal martial art passed down through generations of the Iron Cloud Country; but he... clearly also used this penetrating and insightful Ice Heart Jade Bone Technique! Why?"

  Bing Xin Che Yu Gu Shen Gong is a sacred clan's secret technique, and the cultivation requirements are very special. Either it is a relatively variable, gentle and soft man who cultivates it, or it is cultivated with a woman's body to achieve the greatest effect.

  That man with a strong masculine aura, cultivating this Ice Heart Piercing Jade Bone, is probably something he can't achieve in his lifetime. Chu Yang found it strange that with the power and status of Bu Tian's son, why couldn't he get whatever technique he wanted? Why did he have to cultivate this Ice Heart Piercing Jade Bone divine art?

  But whatever the case, this Tiān Yuè of Iron Cloud Country left a deep impression on Chǔ Yáng. Especially those eyes, clear as water, cold as ice, yet warm and calm, embracing the world, profound and immeasurable.

  But Chu Yang's deepest impression was: These eyes were so beautiful that they almost didn't belong to the mortal world!

  Chu Yang couldn't help but burst out laughing: Looking at this prince's face, although he has a heroic aura, isn't it a bit too pretty? He's a typical pretty boy, and cultivating the Ice Heart Jade Bone Technique doesn't seem unusual...

  Du Shiqing's carriage finally appeared before everyone. Old Gao lifted the curtain and Du Shiqing stepped out.

  Tie Butian took a step forward and bowed deeply, saying: "Mr. Du has traveled far and wide, and it's hard work to come here. I'm Tie Butian, and I've specially come to welcome Mr. Du."

  His voice was clear and calm, with a sense of rhythm. Moreover, in front of Du Shi Qing, he actually referred to himself as "in lower position", without using the self-referential terms "Ben Gong" or "Gu". He gave full respect to Du Shi Qing's face. From this, it can be seen how much importance this Iron Cloud Crown Prince attaches to His Majesty's illness this time.

  "Your Highness is too kind, I am unworthy of such an honor. How dare I trouble Your Highness to personally come and greet me?" Du Shiqing hastily bowed, his face somewhat agitated.

  "Sir, no need to be polite. As long as you cure the emperor's illness, you will be the greatest benefactor of our entire Iron Cloud Nation! No matter what treatment you receive, it is well-deserved." Tie Butian smiled and elegantly stretched out his hand to invite Du: "Mr. Du, please!"

  "Your Highness, please."

  He sat back in his carriage and, surrounded by people calling out to him from front and back, headed towards the city gate.

  "Mr. Du, I want to ask you something." Tie Butian smiled and said: "Just now, I saw someone flying out of Mr. Du's team, the speed was very fast, could that person not be with Mr. Du?"
