Chapter 315: Chapter 141: The Demeanor of a King, Chen Yuyun Must be Killed_3

Li Guanyi said, "I’m just a Secondary Ninth Rank guard now."

Xiang Guangtao said, "But in our eyes, you are still that military advisor..."

He thrust his spear with all his might, but Li Guanyi’s palm vibrated the Battle Halberd, directly pressing down the spear. At that moment, all Li Guanyi had to do was step forward, and the Battle Halberd would brush past the spear shaft, directly disarming his opponent.

Xiang Guangtao’s face turned pale, but in the next instant, Li Guanyi merely withdrew the Battle Halberd.

Li Guanyi rested the Battle Halberd on the ground and then lifted his left hand, extending it forward, and said:

"Come."

Xiang Guangtao was momentarily stunned, then understood Li Guanyi’s intention, aware that the youth was giving him an opportunity to display his own skills. With gratitude in his eyes, he said, "Thank you, military advisor..."

Then he stepped forward, demonstrating his martial arts for all to see.

Li Guanyi did not seek a speedy victory. He merely gripped the Battle Halberd, sparring with Xiang Guangtao, guiding the young man’s spear tip much like General Xue had once guided him, allowing him to showcase his martial arts. For a time, the Battle Halberd and spear collided endlessly.

Xiang Guangtao felt as though he was almost surpassing his past self when he suddenly let out a loud roar.

A myriad of spear shadows converged into a thrust.

Li Guanyi slashed down with the Battle Halberd, breaking the attack, causing Xiang Guangtao’s palms to go numb.

He staggered backward.

Then, looking up, he saw a hand extended toward him. Wearing dark cyan armor and holding a Battle Halberd in one hand, Li Guanyi smiled and said, "I concede."

Xiang Guangtao, genuinely touched and convinced, said, "...Thank you for the guidance, military advisor."

He saw his father breathe a sigh of relief, noticed some of the army strategists nodding at him, and felt a hazy sense of having come through a challenge. Then he saw Li Guanyi walking away and bowed deeply in the direction of the departing youth.

Zhou Liuying said, "Strange, the boss didn’t win with his usual clean efficiency today."

Ye Buyi said, "...It seems there is some reason behind it. He must have his own intentions."

Li Zhaowen was stunned, then, clapping his hands, he sighed and said, "I suggested you show your talents to the nobility, but you actually did the opposite. Impressive, impressive, others show off their wit to the nobles, while you display your magnanimity to these young officers."

"Upright and proper."

"Hahaha, impressive."

Only a few people noticed Li Guanyi’s actions.

The corners of Breaking Army’s mouth twitched, trying to suppress it, then twitched again.

He couldn’t help himself.

This was the aura of a king, noble and majestic, conquering hearts!

Emperor Chen watched the sequence of battles, saw his son winning decisively and felt that he had lived up to the cultivation he had received lately. Therefore, he turned to General Yuwen Lie, who was sitting beside him, and said, "General Yuwen, do you see anyone in this martial competition worth noting?"

Yuwen Lie said, "The Sword Saint’s grandson indeed has his grandfather’s style, but he’s ultimately a swordsman and Grandmaster from the Martial World, not material for a Great General; Geshu Yin has an extraordinary spirit but is rather old and silent, without the air of valor. He can be a general who maintains the status quo but not top tier."

Emperor Chen casually said, "How about a nephew of one of the royal family members?"

Yuwen Lie glanced at Chen Yuyun, who had defeated his opponent, and said, "A disciple of the one who controls all weapons and armor."

"Good technique, brave and martially skilled.

"He has the demeanor of a noble."

Emperor Chen laughed, "It seems the lad has indeed made something of himself, though still not quite up to General Yuwen’s nephew."

Yuwen Lie said, "Hua’er possesses martial arts and courage, but at best he is only a fierce general."

"He is not capable of being a great general who can command a large army."

Emperor Chen curiously asked, "Then, General Yuwen, do you know anyone with such talent?"

Yuwen Lie shook his head and said, "Such talent is hard to find." However, when Emperor Chen left, the Prince of Ying asked Yuwen Lie the same question. Yuwen Lie was silent, then pointing at Li Guanyi, who was fighting an opponent, he said, "This man."

The Prince of Ying was surprised.

Yuwen Lie spoke slowly, "He is giving all the young military officers a chance to show their talent. Such a person ensures that the victor does not become arrogant, while the loser is wholeheartedly submissive, even grateful to him. The best strategy is to conquer the heart."

"In ten years’ time, all these young officers will remember the kindness of this day."

"Chen Yuyun has high martial skills, but his disposition is too fierce; Hua’er, Geshu Yin, they are only suitable as valiant generals for charging into battle."

The Prince of Ying asked, "And him?"

Yuwen Lie decisively said, "Commanding talent!"

"My nephew can lead troops, but he can lead generals."

"If Your Highness is interested, you may invite him. If he is willing to come to Ying Country, I’m willing to apologize for past transgressions, in front of all the civil and military officials and heroes of the world, Yuwen Lie will not hesitate to kowtow in apology for this talent is worthy of such respect."

The fifth Ranked Divine General candidly made such a reply and then, while the Prince was still in astonishment, he added, "But if he refuses, I beg Your Highness to make sure he is killed."

"He will be a great enemy to you in the future."

The Prince of Ying was surprised and slowly nodded, saying,

"Then I really must meet him."

Li Guanyi won another match, his movements suddenly halted; he felt a surge of intense malice, slowly raised his weapon, swept his gaze across the area, and with his Qi Observation Skill saw Yuwen Hua signal towards him with a weapon, a smile full of willful arrogance and battle intent.

Geshu Yin, having experienced similar treatment from Li Guanyi just before with the Iron Futu Colonel, nodded amiably.

Xu Huixiang, like a wanderer from the Martial World, smiled and nodded.

Chen Yuyun greeted him with a smile.

Li Guanyi saw behind Yuwen Hua an intense fighting spirit that burned like fire and an upfront malice.

While Geshu Yin was only officially participating in the battle and Xu Huixiang was curious, behind Chen Yuyun alone, a blood-red color blended with dark ink represented the malice, the animosity, and even more than the desire to kill — the intent to torture and humiliate Li Guanyi to death was almost overflowing.

Yet Chen Yuyun’s face carried a warm and sincere smile, saying, "Impressive."

Li Guanyi lowered his eyes, having made his decision.

After today’s battle, Breaking Army sought out Li Guanyi, eagerly praising the young man’s victory. Li Guanyi said, "I have a favor to ask of you."

Breaking Army praised, "You used the grand ceremony of Chen Country to leave good relations with young military officers, an act of a true king. What is it you need? Just say it, and I will make sure it is resolved for you!"

Li Guanyi said, "I want to kill someone."

"Please design a plan for me to assassination him personally without implicating myself."

Breaking Army was shocked, "Who?"

Li Guanyi said, "Chen Yuyun."

Then he uttered a statement that caused Breaking Army’s pupils to constrict.

"Emperor Chen’s illegitimate son."
