Chapter 338: Chapter 149 Draw the Sword and Kill the Bandits!_2

Chen Yuyun.

A spasm crossed Chen Yuyun’s face. He glared at Li Guanyi on the other side, clenched his fists tight, and a flame named jealousy burned in his heart. He was not content. He knew that, as the final act, his moment could never surpass this one.

The progeny of the Sword Saint, the struggle between the Crown Prince and the Royal Family.

The Absolute Skill of Heart Sword from Gongyang Su Wang.

The young Sword Saint’s admission of defeat and submission.

Fighting from the Second Layer Heaven against the Third Layer Heaven, shattering the Martial Arts Arena to dust, breaking weapons—such impressive momentum could be heard from the approving cheers of the onlookers. Chen Yuyun’s clenched fists cracked.

Why?

Why must you always oppose me!

Why must you always steal my thunder?!

Chen Yuyun knew in his heart that the other’s strength was there, that this battle was indeed amazing. Yet rationality didn’t help; instead, it fueled his nameless jealousy even more.

He knew he shouldn’t feel envious.

But the more he thought about it, the more he tried to control it, it felt like he was stifling the fire, making the nameless rage burn hotter in his chest.

He held the jade token in his grip, fuming: "Aren’t you supposed to be a treasure?"

"Why?! Why haven’t you been of any use these past ten years!"

"Such lousy white jade!"

"Trash, garbage-like thing, what a vile treasure!"

He held the jade token so firmly, wishing he could smash it to the ground and trample it into pieces. The very thought of destroying it brought some relief to his troubled mind.

Then he released his grip on the token, and his face returned to its prior calm.

He clapped in admiration, his face wearing a warm, friendly smile:

"Truly impressive."

"You bring honor and martial glory to our Chen country."

Li Guanyi didn’t respond to him, passing by Chen Yuyun as if he didn’t see him, then reaching out to fist-bump Zhou Liuying and Ye Buyi, causing Chen Yuyun’s gentle smile to freeze slightly as malicious thoughts flowed thickly in his heart.

Yuwen Lie watched Li Guanyi’s retreating figure, and once again, murderous intent surged within him.

People of the Martial World regard single combat highly, but only a famed general like him understood where a physique like Li Guanyi’s truly belonged.

The battlefield.

Only the battlefield.

Such a man, donning Heavy Armor and riding an Exotic Beast, even if he was only of the Fourth Layer Heaven.

As long as he wasn’t targeted and besieged by masters, he could slaughter back and forth through thousands of troops.

Killing is exhausting, and a Martial Artist of the Third Layer Heaven cannot fight without tiring, injury and combat both lead to a decline in condition.

Someone who never tires, who can always maintain peak physical and Inner Qi strength, and who is skilled in using lengthy Heavy Weapons, becomes the embodiment of an army’s morale on the battlefield.

To maintain one’s own troops’ high spirits, and to shatter the enemy’s.

He should be killed.

But as Yuwen Lie entertained such thoughts, he saw the white-haired elder on the other side laughing heartily. The elder from the Xue Family raised his tea cup towards him with a smile, his gaze, however, locked on to the two behind Yuwen Lie like a fierce tiger.

So Yuwen Lie slowly retracted his gaze.

"Haha, amazing, boss!" Zhou Liuying, wrapped up like a dumpling, laughed loudly while waving his arms—the arms looking like tied up chicken legs, saying, "I thought our Imperial Guard was going to be utterly defeated this time, but who would’ve thought, who would’ve thought, boss, you stood till the end."

"If it were Yuwen Hua or that Geshu Yin..."

"Avenge our brothers!"

Ye Buyi nodded and said, "Congratulations."

Repair crews were already fixing the martial arts platform, preparing for today’s final battle. As everyone could predict, even though Chen Yuyun’s performance as the closing act, even though his dual sword technique was impressive and he won handsomely—

The crowd still talked about the first great battle of the day, fiercely and fervently.

Tu Shengyuan, the Guest Elder from The World’s First Building, was peeling off a piece of bamboo with his carving knife.

He tucked it into his mouth, crunching and chewing the bamboo into pieces, swallowing them down.

All the while pondering.

The surrounding Martial Artists gaped in astonishment.

Tu Shengyuan rolled his eyes. He was, after all, a cultivator with accomplished skills, capable of Condensing his mouth and internal organs, so eating a mere bamboo strip was no issue at all.

It was just a bit stuck in his teeth.

"Li Guanyi defeated Xu Huixiang, and with this one battle his fame is established, qualifying him for the rankings."

"Of course, his initial ranking won’t be too high, hmm."

"What kind of title should I give him..."

When the last battle ended, Emperor Chen invited the victors from the four battles to come forward. After a pompous speech, he granted them their rewards, which were fine Weapon level weapons and superior Elixir Pills—a decent prize.

These weapon level items were usable by Fourth Layer Heaven Martial Artists.

The mechanical hand of the musician was also made from a material that could direct the flow of Inner Qi.

Li Guanyi chose a Battle Halberd.

Its body shimmered silver, smooth as starlight, with a chill emanating from the Halberd’s edge—named "Frost," the most important part of the weapon, its pointed tip, was forged from cold steel. During battle, it would tear at the opponent’s wounds, causing their Inner Qi to flow unevenly and inflict cold poison.

Moreover, it was quite heavy.

Possessing such capabilities, it already had some of the special properties of a treasure.

Geshu Yin picked up a Horse-Slaying Saber, while Yuwen Hua casually selected a sword.

Chen Yuyun chose a hand crossbow.
