Chapter 147: The Birth of the Left Prime Minister

  Liu Xinshe displayed a body technique martial skill, the true energy in his body circulated, and his body shot up like a cannonball to over 50 meters high.

  Boom

  Liu Xin fell onto the War Wu platform, his feet making a loud noise, causing the platform to shake slightly.

  A surge of true energy waves, from underfoot, rushed out in all directions.

  Liu Xin slightly cupped his hands and smiled, saying: "I am Liu Xin. I have seen the world's number one swordsmanship expert. I wonder if the world's number one swordsmanship expert can also compare swords with me?"

  Zhang Ruochen naturally detected the sarcasm in Liu Xin's words and said: "Sorry, I'm not the number one master in the world, you've found the wrong person."

  After saying this, Zhang Ruochen flew down from the eighteen-meter-high War Wu platform, his toes touched the pool, and he lightly landed on the shore like a dragonfly touching water.

  Zhang Ruochen never intended to win first place in the Sword Conference, nor did he want to marry the 13th Princess. Now, he plans to leave and doesn't want to show off anymore.

  Liu Xin saw Zhang Ruochen suddenly turn around and leave, without any intention of fighting him. He was furious in his heart, with a cold gaze, saying: "Zhang Ruochen, you defeating Tuoba Linsu was just luck, you know you can't always win, afraid of defeat. So, preparing to escape, right?"

  "Win or lose is a common thing, why should I be afraid? I just don't bother to reason with some unreasonable people." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Liu Xin's anger grew, and he said: "You say who is unreasonable? You claim to be the number one swordsman in the world. I'm just humbly asking you to teach me a few moves. Who's being unreasonable after all?"

  This time the Swordsmanship Conference really disappointed Zhang Ruochen, and he didn't want to stay any longer.

  Huò Míng, who had previously lost to Zhang Ruò Chén, harbored a deep hatred for him. Seeing that Zhang Ruò Chén wanted to leave, he immediately blocked his way.

  "Zhang Ruochen, if you stay and fight against Liu Xin, I can ask the Emperor to withdraw his troops and stop attacking Yunwu Commandery," said Huo Mingdao.

  Huò Míng was just knocked off the War Wu stage by Zhāng Ruò Chén, and fell like a drowned dog, losing all face. He has been wanting to find an opportunity to take revenge on Zhāng Ruò Chén. Now, it's perfect timing to use Liǔ Yán's hand to severely teach Zhāng Ruò Chén a lesson.

  Such an opportunity cannot be missed.

  "You're right"

  Homing snorted coldly and said: "I am a prince of a country, would I still cheat you?"

  The scene gathered dozens of states and counties of talented people, if Huo Ming is really insincere, he will be laughed at by the world.

  Zhang Ruochen's participation in the Swordsmanship Conference was actually a quest for military aid to prevent an impending disaster from occurring in Yunwu County.

  If the four-party county and state are willing to withdraw their troops voluntarily, it would be for the best.

  "Alright, since it's like this, I'll agree with you."

  Huò Míng's mouth curled up, revealing a sinister smile, and he slightly bowed to Liǔ Xìn on the Warring Wu stage, saying: "Young Master Liu, the world's number one swordsmanship expert Zhang Ruò Chén has agreed to engage in a sword fight with you."

  "Thanks to Prince Huo Ming's persuasion, otherwise, Liu Xiang wouldn't have been able to witness the unparalleled sword skills of the world's number one swordsman today." Liu Xin also revealed a hint of a smile.

  Zhang Ruochen was too lazy to bother with their bickering, and re-mounted the War Wu stage, saying: "Huo Ming, remember our agreement."

  Huo Ming said: "Don't worry, as long as you step onto the War Wu platform, whether it's a win or a loss, I will persuade Father King to retreat."

  Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen realized the loophole in Huo Ming's words. He said "to persuade his father to retreat", so the Four-sided King could completely ignore his advice and still lead the army to attack Yunwu County.

  "This Prince Homin seems foolish, but is actually very sinister and has a deep mind." Zhang Ruochen thought to himself.

  Although he heard the trap in Prince Huo Ming's words, Zhang Ruochen had already climbed back onto the War Wu stage. If he retreated at this time, he would be laughed at instead.

  "Zhang Ruochen, if you can defeat Liu Yan, I, Tuoba Lin Su, will definitely lead the army of Longchuan Prefecture to assist Yunwu Prefecture." Tuoba Lin Su stared at Huo Ming with a contemptuous gaze.

  "Thank you, Prince Tuoba." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Liu Xinzhuo stood in the center of the martial arts stage, holding his sword in hand, staring at Zhang Ruochen who was standing opposite him. "True swordsmanship requires the use of inner energy to unleash its full potential. Do you dare to engage in a real battle with me?"

  "What do you mean?" Zhang Ruochen asked.

  Liu Xin said confidently: "My cultivation has reached the late stage of Di Extreme Realm, while your cultivation is only at the middle stage of Xuan Extreme Realm. I can suppress my realm to the middle stage of Xuan Extreme Realm and fight you on the same level, but I don't know if you have the guts to do so."

  After the previous three battles, Liu Xin saw that Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship was extremely high, and even he didn't have full confidence in defeating Zhang Ruochen.

  So he proposed to have a one-on-one battle with Zhang Ruochen at the boundary, this way his chances of defeating Zhang Ruochen would be greater.

  Zhang Ruochen understood his meaning and smiled: "You think that without using true energy, you can't show your real strength."

  "That's right," said Liu Xin.

  Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "If you really want to fight me in the same realm, I'm afraid you can't even withstand one of my moves. You'd better think carefully."

  In the same boundary, Zhang Ruochen can defeat Lian Luo Xū, let alone Liu Xin.

  Liu Xin only felt that Zhang Ruochen's words were humiliating him, and he coldly snorted, saying: "You're indeed arrogant enough. If you can really defeat me with one move, I'll cut off my own sword-wielding hand."

  "If you really want to cut off your hand, I won't stop you." Zhang Ruochen said.

  Liu Xin glanced at the broken sword in Zhang Ruochen's hand and said, "I don't want to take advantage of you, you go change into another sword first."

  "To defeat you, I don't need to switch swords." Zhang Ruochen said.

  "Arrogant"

  Liu Xin's cultivation was suppressed at the extreme boundary of the Mystic Extreme Realm. The true energy inside his body circulated rapidly, and he injected the true energy into the long sword.

  "Whoosh whoosh"

  Liu Xin's footwork was swift and agile, unleashing a low-grade spiritual speed technique that left onlookers stunned. Five illusory shadows appeared as he swung his sword in a slash towards Zhang Ruochen.

  Although he suppressed his boundary at the extreme pole of the mysterious extreme, Liu Xin was after all a top expert in the earthly extreme realm, and the martial skills he cultivated were extremely fierce.

  Moreover, his attainments in swordsmanship were indeed very high, having already reached the advanced realm of "the sword follows the heart".

  In terms of swordsmanship, Liu Xin's skills were slightly superior to those of Tuoba Lin Su.

  Zhang Ruochen looked at the five figures rushing towards him, still motionless, and instead closed his eyes.

  "Whoosh"

  Zhang Ruochen took a slight step to the left, dodging one of the figures' attacks. He then shifted two steps to the right, avoiding the second figure's attack. Next, he retreated one step back, evading the third figure's sword. Finally, he leaned back, dodging the fourth figure's thrusting sword move.

  From below the stage, Liu Xin presented five figures, with swift and rapid sword movements, each stroke was exquisite and unparalleled.

  Zhang Ruochen presented nine human silhouettes, without drawing his sword, and even without opening his eyes, yet he was able to dodge all of Liu Xin's attacks.

  On the battlefield, more than a dozen figures moved quickly, making it difficult to distinguish which one was Liu Xin's true body and which one was Zhang Ruochen's true body.

  Even the normally arrogant and self-conceited Thirteenth Young Mistress was left staring in shock, her heart greatly shaken.

  The half-sage's disciple, Qing Chi Bai, gently shook his head and said, "Liu Xin is way off the mark. He thinks he can defeat Zhang Ruochen in the same realm, but in reality, Zhang Ruochen's strength far surpasses his own. Defeating him would be as easy as crushing an ant."

  The thirteenth young master was somewhat skeptical, saying: "Liu Xin, before he broke through to the Earth Extreme Realm, was a top eighteen expert on the Mystic List. In the same realm, how could he be so much worse than that bumpkin from Yunwu County?"

  Xun Guihai, who had been sitting silently beside him, smiled and said: "The county master doesn't know that Zhang Ruochen is the number one newcomer of the Wumeng Academy in Tianmo Ridge. It's said that his spiritual power has already reached the 29th rank, and in the entire Kunlun world, he's also a top ten spiritual power genius."

  Upon hearing Xun Guihai's words, the Thirteenth Young Mistress was thoroughly stunned.

  Qing Chi Bai said: "Zhang Ruochen may not be the number one swordsman in the world, but within the same realm, I'm afraid there aren't many people who can defeat him."

  The thirteenth young lady of the county looked anxious, her face tear-stained, and said: "What can be done? If he wins first place in the Swordsmanship Tournament, won't I have to marry him? I'd rather not marry him."

  Xun Guihai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Princess. Qing is a half-sage disciple, and it's said that he has already cultivated his sword intent to the peak of 'the sword follows the heart'. If Qing makes a move, defeating Zhang Ruochen will be no difficult task."

  Qing Chi Bai smiled and said, "When I was at the extreme position in the Xuanji boundary, my sword intent realm had only reached the high-level realm of 'Sword Following Heart', and in terms of speed, I was slightly weaker than Zhang Ruochen. I am absolutely not his match. If I were to suppress my current realm to the extreme position in the Xuanji boundary and fight him, although I could defeat him, it would be an unfair victory."

  Qing Chi Bai is now in the middle of his cultivation in the Polar Extreme Realm. Even if he suppresses his realm to the extreme position of the Mystic Extreme Realm, there are still some things that cannot be changed.

  For example, his swordsmanship realm, and also the fact that he has opened up his Qihai, where the true energy stored in it is tens of thousands of times more than what Zhang Ruochen's Qihai had. He suppressed his realm to the extreme point of the Xuanji Realm, so he didn't need to worry about true energy consumption at all.

  Moreover, the physical constitution of a martial artist in the Earth Pole Realm is far stronger than that of a martial artist in the Mystic Pole Realm.

  So even if Qing Chi Bai's cultivation is suppressed to the extreme position of the Xuan Ji realm, he will still have a significant advantage.

  Liu Xin's cultivation was also at the Earth Extreme Realm, but his swordsmanship was fundamentally unable to compare with Qing Chi Bai.

  The thirteenth young lady said: "Green, red and white, the main young lady ordered you to defeat that bumpkin from Yunwu County. If you don't help me, I'll have to marry into Yunwu County in such a remote place."

  If she had to choose between Qing Chi Bai and Zhang Ruo Chen, the thirteenth young mistress would naturally choose Qing Chi Bai.

  Qing Chi smiled wryly and said, "If Liu Xin really loses, I'm willing to take action and fight Zhang Ruochen."

  It's clear that Zhang Ruochen is a formidable opponent, and even with many advantages, it won't be easy to win against him.
