On the stage, Cheng Kuian lightly swung his sword, creating a dazzling display of sword light, and with the cheers of the crowd, he raised his opponents blade into the air. So far, he had won three consecutive matches. Except for the first match against Fang Yuexiang, which was evenly matched, he easily won the other two matches. This wasnt because he was the most skilled, but rather that those at the same level as him were hesitant to make a move due to the Cheng familys reputation. Meanwhile, the Fang family disciples saw Fang Lingde storm off the stage and quickly restrained their companions who were about to intervene.
Fang Lingde is a generous and straightforward person, who likes to help his juniors solve their problems. Among the younger generation, he has an prestige that is not inferior to that of his elder brother. Since he has come forward, it means that he will not sit idly by and will definitely help Fang Yuanying get justice.
The Emperor Han Xian sat in the main seat on the high platform, savoring the deep red grape wine from the spoils of war in Linan City. Although it was a bit astringent, after drinking for a long time, it had its own flavor and rhythm. Occasionally changing the taste was not bad either. Suddenly, a commotion came from the north of the school field, he raised his eyes to look over, and almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
Only two ox carts slowly drove into the north gate of the large school field, Emperor Han Xian rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and opened them again. Indeed, it was two large carts that were being pulled by two big black oxen with great difficulty. He pointed at the two slow-moving carts, which were as slow as snails, and asked: "Whats going on here?"
In such a solemn and dignified place, at a time of joy and laughter, how could such a ridiculous scene appear? The Grand Marshal Liu Zhengzhong, in charge of security for the Huanglong Army, and the Minister of Rites, Cai Junmang, who was responsible for the ceremony, both turned green with rage. It was still Liu Zhengzhong, the military general, who reacted quickly, hastily stepping forward and kneeling down to say: "I have failed in my duty, I will go and investigate immediately."
"Its all right," said Emperor Wu of Han with a wave of his hand.
Liu Zhengzhong broke out in a cold sweat, it seemed that the Emperor was extremely dissatisfied. It looked like his official hat might have to change color soon. No - wait, how did it sound? The Emperors tone just now didnt seem to be one of anger. He slightly raised his head and stole a glance, only to see Han Xian Emperor with a smile at the corner of his mouth, without any hint of displeasure on his face.
Han Xian Emperor smiled and said: "Zheng Zhong, you get up first, let me guess whats in this ox cart."
Liu Zheng said, "Im not a god, how can I guess?"
But since its an imperial decree, he wouldnt dare refuse even if it meant giving up his own head.
Liu Zhengzhong gathered his thoughts, fixed his eyes and looked again, and was shocked once more. The ox cart was still an ox cart, but at this moment, there were two people following behind the ox cart. Upon seeing these two people, Liu Zhengzhong finally understood why these two broken carts could enter the grand school field without being blocked by the guards outside the gate.
These two are Qin Yong and Fang Lide, the second most important person in the Fang family. With this old fellow personally taking charge, where cant they go in the capital except for the inner courtyard of the imperial palace?
At this moment, the crowd beside the arena also discovered the abnormality at the North Gate and looked up one after another. Cheng Kuian knew that today was a feud with the Fang family, so he left some energy for both matches, confident that the damage was not great, enough to fight again with an opponent of the same level. Its just that when I saw Qin Yong and Fang Lingde rushing towards the arena in a cow cart, a sense of unease inexplicably surged up in my heart.
On the viewing platform, Emperor Huan of Han asked: "How is it that you dont find this scene somewhat familiar?"
Liu Zhengzhong racked his brains and finally had an epiphany, blurting out: "Linan City..."
"Hahaha... " Emperor Han Xian laughed and said: "Thats right, this Qin Yong, every time he comes up with this trick. I bet that the two super bronze lion weapons are hidden in this ox cart." He laughed heartily, without a hint of blame in his tone.
The Battle of Linan was the most outstanding achievement in the life of Emperor Xian of Han, and also his most perilous crisis.
If it werent for the Black Flag Armys great victory at Linan City, the Great Han Empire wouldnt be celebrating today. Its fortunate that we didnt become prisoners of war.
As for this, Emperor Han Xian was crystal clear, and among all the generals of the Black Flag Army, Emperor Han Xian liked Qin Yong the most, who was muddle-headed and had no mind. Not to mention that he only drove in two ox carts, even if he dismantled the entire school field, Emperor Han Xian would not scold him.
As expected, Qin Yong pulled two ox carts to the front of the arena and saw that there was only one Cheng Kuian holding a treasure sword staring at him in a daze. He opened his big mouth and shouted loudly: "The next challenger is me, Qin Yong."
Having said that, he didnt wait for a response and turned around to tear off the two pieces of canvas covering the ox cart.
Everyone looked up and saw the two bronze lions on top, which must have weighed at least a thousand kilograms. Some people even wondered if they were genuine or just for show. But thinking back to how hard it was for those few old cows to pull the cart earlier, it didnt seem like they were just pretending.
Cheng Yinghao was going to make a move on Xu Haifeng, so the information about the main generals of the Black Flag Army was quite complete. Cheng Kuian had such a copy in his hands. He seemed to remember that it had been mentioned before that Qin Yongs strength was unmatched, and the weapon in his hand was two copper lions weighing over 1,000 catties each.
Its just that this matter is too shocking, and anyone would be half-believing and half-doubting before seeing it with their own eyes.
Only to see Qin Yongs broad and thick palm grasping the bronze lions neck, he easily lifted it up. Then, he slightly squatted down, took a deep breath, and threw the bronze lion high into the air. At that moment, everyone thought to themselves, could this lion be made of paper pulp?
This throw actually threw the bronze lion to the top of the stage, the bronze lion flew to the highest point in mid-air and began to fall, and the landing point was exactly Pro Qian who was stunned.
Cheng Kuian stared incredulously at Qin Yongs solo performance, his eyes following the bronze lion as it lifted its head to the sky. Suddenly, a dark shadow loomed before him, and the massive bronze lion seemed to come crashing down on him like a demon, causing his heart to shatter and his legs to turn soft. Fortunately, he had extremely high martial arts skills, and at the critical moment, he subconsciously rolled away with a "donkey roll", narrowly avoiding disaster.
A deafening crash shook the heavens as the bronze lion smashed heavily onto the wooden board, tearing it apart with its immense force.
Every time there is a big fight in the army, its hard to avoid having masters fighting. If it were hollow wooden boards, they would have been trampled and shattered long ago. The organizer had rich experience and specially laid down a layer of solid boards under the stage, so no matter how much commotion was made on top, it was impossible to shake the entire floor.
Who would have thought that there was such a monster as Qin Yong in the world, and thousands of pounds of things could be smashed down at will. Fortunately, there was no cutting corners below, but bursting and shattering were inevitable.
As the bronze lion landed, everyones heart was shaken. Some soldiers near the arena were even more unbearable and thudded to the ground, not because they were timid, but because they saw such a terrifying scene at such a close distance, and it was hard to avoid being frightened out of their wits.
The massive impact created a sky full of dust, and Cheng Kuian, who was in the midst of it, felt his hands and feet go weak, barely having the strength to get up. He stared fearfully at the copper lion that was just inches away from him, still feeling the lingering fear in his heart. If he had really been hit by this thing, where would his life be? Its a wonder he wouldnt have become a pile of minced meat.
Qin Yong furrowed his brow, waiting for the dust to settle a bit, then grabbed another bronze lion and thumped it onto the central platform. He bent down to pick up the one that had been making everyones heart skip a beat, and chuckled: "Hey there, kiddo, your grandpas here."
After finishing speaking, these two giants mindlessly charged towards Cheng Kuian.
Cheng Kuian no longer had any will to fight, the precious sword in his hand was not even dared to be handed over, he just ran desperately around the edge of the arena, Qin Yong chased after him with all his might.
Cheng Kuians lightness skill was far superior to Qin Yongs, no matter how hard Qin Yong chased, he still trailed behind by a distance. Thus, the comical scene reappeared, a tall giant wielding two unparalleled massive fists chasing after a panicked and disheveled little dwarf (Cheng Kuians stature was originally quite tall, but compared to Qin Yong, it was like a small sorcerer meeting a great one, far inferior) circling around the edge of the arena in big circles, extremely comical.
Everyone on and off the stage was shocked and amused, it was clearly a life-and-death struggle, but a farcical scene appeared, which can only be explained by Qin Yongs inhuman monster.
Qin Yongs eyes widened as he watched Cheng Kui An getting farther and farther away, then suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, and saw Cheng Kui An running extremely fast, having circled around once. Suddenly, he saw Qin Yong standing in front of him like a small mountain, baring his teeth and staring at him with a fierce gaze. Next, Qin Yong swung his large hand, and a bronze lion flew horizontally towards him. Cheng Kui An was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body, and his legs kicked forward involuntarily, causing him to fly backward. At the same time, he futilely raised his treasured sword to block in front of him.
A loud "ding" sound, Cheng Kuians hundred-refined golden sword in his hand had already been broken into two segments. He himself had a burst of pain in his tiger mouth, and his right arm below was numb and unable to move. However, he still managed to retreat in time, and fortunately did not get smashed into a meat paste.
"Ah……" The onlookers let out a collective sigh, unsure whether it was out of concern for Cheng Kuian or regret for Qin Yong.
Qin Yongs sword was too overbearing, and with just a slight movement, it could cover a large area. Unless someone used a bow and arrow, their own weapons couldnt even get close. In that case, there was no need to fight this battle. Moreover, at this point, anyone could see that Cheng Kuian had no will to fight.
He had already been stunned, and in his heart there was only one thought, that he could not be hit by the bronze lion, so he only knew to desperately cover his head and flee, forgetting that jumping off the stage would mean admitting defeat.
Han Xian Emperor shook his head, seeing that the martial arts competition was not going to proceed, as the strength of both sides was indeed too disparate, and he was about to order the suspension of the match.
