Chapter 409: Chapter 408: Who is the King! (Chapter Forty-One)

With Diao Cheng and Wu Song, these two experts from the Miracle Ridge serving as witnesses, Lin Bai felt he could still deter Dayue Kingdom.

After all, even if Dayue Kingdom’s military power was strong, it was impossible for them to compete with the Miracle Ridge.

Once the Miracle Ridge became furious and dispatched their experts, it could wipe out the Dayue Kingdom in a single night.

Tuoba Feng, with a malicious gaze, looked at Lin Bai and said, "Lin Bai, since you have agreed, can you return Consort Yun to us first?"

Lin Bai did not utter a word.

Diao Cheng faintly smiled and said, "Lin Bai, leave her to him. With me here, you can rest assured."

Lin Bai looked at the First Princess and Ji Bei.

Immediately, the First Princess and Ji Bei came to Lin Bai’s side.

Ji Bei said, "Lin Bai, this senior Diao Cheng is prominent. He must be one of the higher-ranking figures on the Miracle Ridge. If I’m not mistaken, he should be one of the deans of the Young Dragon Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge."

"With him here, we should be safe."

Ji Bei, with reverent eyes, spoke while looking at Diao Cheng.

The First Princess nodded seriously as well, "Lin Bai, are you confident you can defeat Tuoba Feng?"

Lin Bai chuckled softly, "As easy as pie."

Now that Lin Bai’s cultivation reached the Seventh Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, as long as he wasn’t facing an unbeatable monster-level genius, he was confident that he could crush any warrior within the Heaven Martial Realm.

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s determined tone, her face immediately lit up with joy, her eyes welling up with tears of excitement.

"Since Senior Diao Cheng has said so, I should hand over Consort Yun to you." Lin Bai sent Consort Yun flying towards the City Wall with a swing of his arm. The woman descended onto the ground, as though a fairy from the Nine Heavens had fallen.

"Consort Yun!"

Both the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom and Tuoba Feng flew into the air to catch Consort Yun.

"Bastard, she is my consort, how dare you touch her!" The Emperor of Dayue Kingdom glared at Tuoba Feng, smacking him away with one hand and pulling Consort Yun into his arms.

Tuoba Feng landed on the ground. Seeing Consort Yun collapse into the arms of the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, there was a flash of anger in his eyes.

Consort Yun was weeping uncontrollably, looking pitiful, "Your Majesty, I was terrified."

The Emperor of Dayue Kingdom comforted her, "It’s alright, it’s alright."

A strange glimmer flashed across Consort Yun’s eyes as she looked at Lin Bai, her face filled with hatred.

Seeing Consort Yun leaning on the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, Tuoba Feng’s heart was consumed by jealousy, and his hands were clenched into fists.

"Lin Bai, come down and meet your death!"

Tuoba Feng could still not directly confront the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom and, moreover, had to consider the royal family’s reputation.

Thus, all of Tuoba Feng’s anger was directed at Lin Bai now.

"What a mess."

Upon seeing Tuoba Feng’s current state, Lin Bai couldn’t help but sneer.

"I’m going in." Lin Bai looked at the First Princess and Ji Bei.

"Be careful," both Ji Bei and the First Princess said in unison.

After giving them a slight nod, Lin Bai jumped down from the City Wall and landed in the midst of the battlefield.

Tuoba Feng, dressed in a silver armor and holding a long spear, showed his undaunted courage. His face was as fierce as a knife and a sword, under closer inspection, he looked like a majestic white-robed divine general.

As for Lin Bai, he stood in the midst of the battlefield, drawing the Qingge Sword slowly out, with the sword tip pointed at Tuoba Feng.

All eyes were on them.

Tuoba Feng was known in Dayue Kingdom as the first genius in military affairs, ranked only after the King of Sheng Yue as the rarest genius in Dayue Kingdom.

Similarly, Lin Bai was a genius in Chaoyang Palace and the Territory of the Shenwu Kingdom, ranking only second to Duan Canghai, the Saint Child of Canghai Yuntai Palace.

Now, these two were essentially the strongest geniuses in each of their respective nations.

"Your Highness, come on." Although Consort Yun was nestled in the arms of the Emperor of Dayue Kingdom, she was looking at Tuoba Feng with affectionate eyes, murmuring softly.

Hearing Consort Yun’s voice, Tuoba Feng grinned with satisfaction and charged forward on his horse.

"Bring it on!"

Tuoba Feng roared and rode his horse forward, piercing towards Lin Bai’s face with his spear.

With his horse beneath him, Tuoba Feng moved extraordinarily fast, turning into a white streak of light. In the blink of an eye, he reached Lin Bai’s side.

As he thrust his spear, a white streak of spearlight shot out, aiming for Lin Bai with an unstoppable force.

"Prince Consort, watch out!" The First Princess cried out in concern.

Lin Bai levitated into the air, slashing out a streak of sword Qi.

The sword Qi immediately collided with the spear light and exploded in mid-air.

In this confrontation, Lin Bai immediately realized that he had underestimated Tuoba Feng. With his cultivation reaching the Ninth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm and an eerie unique spear technique, he was indeed tricky.

"Kill!"

"Sky Dawn Spear Execution! Scorched Earth!"

Tuoba Feng turned his horse around, thrust his spear and attacked.

The spear light revealed a beautiful flame of red, yet it carried a gloomy vibe.

The spear light, like a falling sun, struck down.

The First Princess warned nervously, "Lin Bai, be careful. This is the ancestral Heaven Level First Grade spear technique of the Tuoba Clan, known as ’Sky Dawn Spear Execution.’ It consists of three techniques."

Boom!

Once the Heaven Level First Grade martial technique was executed, its power immediately echoed in all directions.

An incredibly strong force, oppressive, struck Lin Bai’s body.

"Sky Dawn Spear Execution! Tyrant Lifts the Cauldron!"

Just after Tuoba Feng thrust his spear, he immediately released the spear light, launching fierce attacks.

"Last technique, I want your life!"

"Sky Dawn Spear Execution! Nine Dragons Break the Sun!"

Tuoba Feng roared with fury, a surge of noticeable veins coursing through his skin.

The strongest three techniques of Sky Dawn Spear Execution struck continuously. As if the Gods descended from the heavens to destroy the world, they were unstoppable.

Boom!

The three spear light techniques hit Lin Bai’s body like lightning.

An explosion followed, whipping up a cloud of dust and debris.

"Victory?" The Emperor of the Dayue Kingdom smiled in delight.

Consort Yun too beamed brightly at Tuoba Feng.

"Hahaha, worthy of being my son. Second Prince, you’ve done well, there will be a great reward when we return to the Imperial Capital," The Emperor of the Dayue Kingdom laughed heartily.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Your Highness!"

"Long live! Long Live! Long Live!"

"This fool dared to clash with our Highness head-on, truly unaware of his impending death."

"Exactly, he didn’t even consider his status, he wouldn’t even be worthy to shine our Highness’s shoes."

"Just asking for death, a mere ant!"

From within the legions of Dayue, sounds of disdainful laughter echoed.

On the other hand, all of the soldiers from Shenwu Kingdom and the First Princess wore indifferent expressions.

The First Princess anxiously looked at the cloud of dust.

"Tuoba Feng won." Wu Song looked dismissively at Lin Bai and stated flatly.

Ever since Diao Cheng praised Lin Bai, Wu Song harbored hostility towards Lin Bai.

From Diao Cheng’s tone, it seemed as though Lin Bai’s potential was even higher than Wu Song’s, something that displeased him greatly.

As a top fighter of the Young Dragon Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge, Wu Song was unwilling to be second to anyone, just as he said: "I came here to be the best. There is no meaning for me in being second."

"Based on what?" Diao Cheng asked with a light smile.

"This Heaven Level First Grade martial technique is enough to crush Lin Bai," Wu Song said dismissively.

Diao Cheng chuckled and said, "Wu Song, don’t underestimate Lin Bai. His potential is definitely not less than yours, even surpassing yours. If you continue to be so arrogant, I’m afraid you will ruin your future."

Wu Song was shocked, looking at Diao Cheng incredulously, "Dean Diao Cheng, my potential is inferior to a lowly warrior from a barbaric land? I don’t believe it."

"If I were to fight him at the same level, I could defeat him within three techniques!"

Wu Song proclaimed confidently.

Diao Cheng responded with a slight smile, "Perhaps. I hope you have that ability."

Wu Song’s expression soured. He realized that Diao Cheng no longer had as much faith in him as before. As he looked at Lin Bai, a murderous intent gradually surfaced in his eyes.

Tuoba Feng smirked, raising his spear high and bellowing, "Who is the king!"
