379: Chapter 378: I’ve been waiting for you to say that for a long time!
Lin Bai broke through the careful plans in Wu Jian’s heart, which made him irate, and he retorted, “You’re talking nonsense, how could I possibly fear death!”
“Lin Bai, although you are the prince consort, you must respect me.
You defamed me without reason, do you think I’m easy to bully?”
Wu Jian angrily retorted.
Lin Bai sneered, “Look at you, I must have guessed right.
If the army of Dayue Kingdom destroyed Shenwu Kingdom, your Canghai Yuntai Palace cannot escape its doom either.”
“At that time, the first ones to be killed by Dayue Kingdom would be the excellent geniuses of your Canghai Yuntai Palace such as yourself.
You’re afraid of this, aren’t you?”
“Now you’re arguing so fervently, simply wishing to delay the time.
After the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition a few months later, you can legitimately enter the Miracle Ridge then, right?”
Lin Bai glared at Wu Jian, exposing all Wu Jian’s thoughts.
Why was the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition so important?
That’s because every year, the Miracle Ridge would send people to pick out outstanding warriors at the Shenwu Kingdom’s Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition to study at the Miracle Ridge.
Only warriors invited by the Miracle Ridge could enter.
Otherwise, the uninvited warriors had to pass the Three Stages and Five Obstacles test of the Miracle Ridge before they could enter.
However, the warriors who could pass the Three Stages and Five Obstacles were few and far between, and the pass rate was extremely low.
Therefore, Wu Jian didn’t want to take a risk.
He wanted to enter the Miracle Ridge safely through next year’s Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition.
At this time, Murong Qi with a gloomy face said, “Prince Consort, aren’t you being too unreasonable?
Wu Jian said this for the soldiers at the border.
How could you connect it to the Four Major Sects Martial Arts Competition?”
Lin Bai sneered, “Whether it’s true or not, Wu Jian knows it himself.”
The First Princess said irritably, “Enough, stop arguing.
Wu Jian, I believe I made it clear before.
If anyone dares to argue, they will be tried by military law!”
“Do you want to be the first warrior to be judged by military law?”
Wu Jian furiously responded, “Since the First Princess wants to listen to false accusations, I, Wu Jian, have nothing more to say.
We who walk on different paths cannot make plans together, I’ll take my leave.”
“Once again, I wish the Shenwu Kingdom a complete failure with countless casualties!”
Fire Spirit also sneered, “I agree with Brother Wu Jian.
Since the First Princess cannot hear our advice, there’s no point in us being here.
We’ll take our leave!”
After the two finished speaking, they turned to leave.
“Stop!” Lin Bai shouted coldly.
Wu Jian and Fire Spirit turned around together, glaring at Lin Bai, and said, “What?
Does the Prince Consort have any other instructions?”
Lin Bai stepped down from the First Princess’s side, looked at Wu Jian and Fire Spirit, and said, “Is your Canghai Yuntai Palace so ill-mannered?
When you leave the First Princess, don’t you have to give a bow?”
Wu Jian angrily retorted, “As a warrior of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, I do not bow.”
Lin Bai coldly said, “Are the warriors of your Canghai Yuntai Palace something special?
The Royal Family of Shenwu Kingdom respects you, which allows you to not bow.
But in the end, you are nothing more than commoners.”
“If you want to leave, you can, after you kneel and bow.”
Wu Jian roared, “Lin Bai, you’re pushing too far!”
Fire Spirit also shouted angrily at the same time, “I agree with Brother Wu Jian, Lin Bai you’re pushing too far!”
Lin Bai laughed coldly, “What even if I push you around”
Wu Jian roared, “Don’t think that you can act recklessly just because you killed Zhao Liu, I’m telling you, I could have killed Zhao Liu too, don’t get too cocky.”
“If you dare, let’s fight.
I’ll have you crawling all over the floor.”
“I think Wu Jian has a point,” said the Fire Spirit.
“I wonder if the Prince Consort would dare to teach us a couple of tricks.”
“Hahaha, I’ve been waiting for you to say that.
Draw your sword,” Lin Bai immediately drew the Qingge Sword, a surge of sword momentum exploded in the Commander’s Tent.
Both Wu Jian and the Fire Spirit were startled.
They did not expect that Lin Bai would agree so quickly and without hesitation.
And from Lin Bai’s stance, it seemed like he was already prepared to engage them in a major battle.
Wu Jian was initially stunned, then coldly said, “Fire Spirit, since someone is begging for a beating, let’s oblige him.
After I’ve beaten him to the point of scrambling for his teeth, you can take over.”
The Fire Spirit sneered, “Brother Wu Jian makes a solid point; this man is seeking death.
Let’s give this audacious fool a proper lesson.”
“Enough with the sentimentality,” Lin Bai said irritably, “both of you come at me.”
“Together?”
Wu Jian and the Fire Spirit were taken aback.
Both of them were exceptional talents on the Shenwu Genius List, and were at the eighth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, rare experts within the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom.
Regarding one-on-one fights, it would be difficult to find a match for them at their level within the Shenwu Kingdom.
Even if they faced the ninth layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, they would still pose a challenge.
At this moment, Lin Bai was inviting them to attack together, which caused them to hesitate.
Murong Qi wanted to prevent this major battle, but as he was about to speak, he swallowed his words.
Remembering the disciples of Canghai Yuntai Palace that died in the Chaoyang Palace, he knew well enough that Wu Jian and the Fire Spirit could suppress Lin Bai.
“All the better, let Wu Jian avenge the lost geniuses of Canghai Yuntai Palace who perished in the Chaoyang Palace.” Murong Qi made up his mind not to interfere and silently watched the scene unfold.
The First Princess, Ji Bai, and Ji Bei were all startled, watching Lin Bai with shock on their faces.
“Hahaha, since the Prince Consort is so arrogant, don’t blame us for being relentless.
Brother Fire Spirit, let’s go together.
If the Prince Consort loses, he can’t blame us for being unsportsmanlike,” Wu Jian laughed wildly.
“Brother Wu Jian is right; let’s go after him together.”
Both Wu Jian and the Fire Spirit unleashed their powerful combat powers simultaneously.
For a moment, within the Commander’s Tent, a vast and boundless sword momentum erupted from Wu Jian, while a powerful flame energy surged out of the Fire Spirit.
Under the intertwining of these two forces, it was like a massive whirlpool, swallowing everything and pressure towards Lin Bai.
Wu Jian’s eyes flashed a sharp look, and he roared, “Long River Sword Skill!
Sea and Sky Blend as One!”
The Long River Sword Skill, an Earth Grade 8 martial technique within the Canghai Yuntai Palace, was incredibly powerful and terrifying.
When deployed by Wu Jian now, it was like the horizontal flow of the sea, unstoppable.
The Fire Spirit also made his move: “The Fire Skill, Flame Giant Handprint!”
The Flame Giant Handprint of the Fire Skill was comparable to an Earth Grade 9 martial technique.
With one palm strike, it ignited the heavens and annihilated everything.
The moment they made their move, it was their strongest technique and their trump card.
They intended to defeat Lin Bai in an instant!
“Haha, just with this level of skill?”
“Not even enough to stick between my teeth!”
“Divine Power!
Wind-Slaying!”
With a roar from Lin Bai, a surge of Sword Qi struck out, shattering Wu Jian’s sword technique and sending Wu Jian flying out of the Commander’s Tent.
