The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 52 - The One Knife

52: Chapter 52 The One Knife

52 -52 The One Knife

“Let’s start!”

Guan Yu said coldly, but Qin Jun clearly saw that his date-like face was somewhat unsightly, he had obviously become angry.

He couldn’t help but silently mourn for Xiao Beilong, provoking a stronger figure who was an entire realm above you was terrifying enough, let alone if that person was Guan Yu.

This was the Martial Saint, the Emperor Guan of the heavenly courts!

“Seeking death!”

After Xiao Beilong roared out the two words that almost made Qin Jun kneel in worship, he charged at Guan Yu.

The entire place fell silent and everyone held their breath, including Zhu Yishi from the Canglan Kingdom.

Zhu Yishi didn’t know what to do if they lost now that Guan Yu, who appeared out of nowhere, was involved.

Although Xiao Beilong was fast, he wasn’t so fast that the commoners couldn’t see his movements.

His momentum was stronger than that of Song Lang and Zhenhun before him, like a tank bearing down on Guan Yu.

The huge black hammer tore through the air, aiming straight for Guan Yu’s head.

To everyone’s shock, Qin Jun and the man in the black robe beside him didn’t dodge, but stood still next to Guan Yu.

“That lad’s courage has really grown!” the Qian Emperor muttered to himself.

Qin Jun had always resembled him the most, and this composure now made him very satisfied; the more he watched, the more Qin Jun reminded him of himself.

It must be said, the point the Qian Emperor and Qin Jun most resembled each other was their shamelessness.

Facing the unstoppable Xiao Beilong, Guan Yu’s eyes sharpened.

With one hand, he lifted the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and slashed upwards.

A bright light burst forth in an instant, forcing everyone including Xiao Beilong to close their eyes.

This blade was dazzlingly brilliant!

This blade had the momentum of a rainbow!

This blade stirred the Cangqiong!

With a “puchi” sound, everyone was shocked into opening their eyes, and Qin Jun, who stood behind Guan Yu, was the first to do so.

He saw Guan Yu’s proud silhouette holding the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, blood sprinkling in the air.

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Beilong still had the posture of swinging his hammer, but his head was no longer there!

Thud—roll, roll, roll—

Xiao Beilong’s head hit the ground and rolled over a dozen times before coming to a stop, leaving everyone with their mouths hanging open.

Silence!

At that moment, one could even hear a pin drop.

The Qian Emperor himself leapt to his feet, gazing with wide eyes and a slack jaw at Guan Yu’s towering figure.

Even Nan Meng, who had just been helped up to the gallery, was dumbfounded.

The Xiao Beilong, who had been his equal, was killed with a single blow?

The eerie silence was broken by no one; it was as if the whole world had fallen mute.

“How…

How is this possible…”

Zhu Yishi seemed frozen, his whole body trembling.

He couldn’t believe the scene before his eyes was real.

Qin Yu’s mouth was so wide open that it could fit an egg.

He had guessed beforehand that Guan Yu might defeat Xiao Beilong, but he never imagined it would be with a single blow!

Xiao Beilong was an Ascending Mortal Realm powerhouse, a man who stood at the peak of the kingdom!

Recalling Guan Yu’s previous words about three moves, everyone couldn’t help but feel astounded; he hadn’t been boasting—instead, he had understated his true power!

“Holy shit!

I’m in awe!

Second Master is so mighty!”

Qin Jun exclaimed excitedly, instantly breaking the silence of the whole place.

Boom!

The whole place erupted!

“Amazing!

He defeated Xiao Beilong in a second!”

“Who in the world is he?

His power is just too terrifying, right?”

“Oh my God!

Am I dreaming?”

“That’s Xiao Beilong…

the great general who solidified the foundation of the Canglan Kingdom!” frёewebηovel.cѳm

“We won?”

The commoners and cultivators could hardly contain their excitement.

The noise was deafening, and everyone was cheering.

The center of attention, Guan Yu slowly sheathed his sword and casually stroked his long beard with his left hand as if the one he had just slain was not Xiao Beilong, but rather a mere cat or dog.

The Qian Emperor managed to sit down while suppressing his excitement, yet he could not help the smile spreading across his face.

Zhu Yishi and the envoys from the Canglan Kingdom let out shocked screams, how could Xiao Beilong possibly be defeated in an instant?

Even Song Lang and Zhenhun fell silent, admitting to themselves that they were no match for Xiao Beilong in single combat.

Now that Xiao Beilong had been defeated instantaneously, they suspected that taking his place would likely result in the same fate.

“Eunuch Shen, what are you still dazed for?”

Qin Jun shouted toward Shen Yan at the edge of the Vermilion Bird Platform, snapping him back to reality from his shock.

“Now I declare, in the duel between the two countries, the Qianyue Kingdom has won two victories.

According to the best-of-three rule, the Qianyue Kingdom has won this duel!”

Shen Yan announced with dramatic flair, and although his voice was like that of a rooster’s, it was music to the ears of all citizens and cultivators.

In the last duel between the two countries, the Qianyue Kingdom had faced a humiliating defeat without a single win!

This time they had finally redeemed themselves!

The Qian Emperor, turning to Zhu Yishi, smiled and said, “I didn’t expect your country’s War General to be so feeble, it seems that the Canglan Kingdom has fallen far from its former glory.”

Exhilarating!

Finally, they could hold their heads high!

The Qian Emperor was grinning so wide it was as if his face had bloomed into a chrysanthemum, while Zhu Yishi, although angry, could only manage a strained smile, his body trembling.

Xiao Beilong was the war god of the Canglan Kingdom, and his instantaneous defeat in this clash between nations would surely cause an uproar and possibly civil unrest once the news reached home.

Zhu Yishi had no idea how he would face his emperor father.

What was supposed to be an easy task had turned into a nightmare, filling Zhu Yishi with despair.

“Furthermore, as everyone knows, I was demoted to the borders due to the treachery of a villain.”

Qin Jun suddenly raised his voice, calming the cheering crowd as the citizens looked at each other in confusion.

A victim of treachery?

Under normal circumstances, the people might not believe it, but now, with Qin Jun having turned the tide under dire circumstances, they were willing to believe him.

As a prince who was used to luxury, why would he covet wealth?

“I will not say which villain it was, but I have returned this time with achievements!”

Qin Jun proclaimed proudly, constantly referring to a villain, which caused Qin Yu, who was in the loft above, to turn livid.

Single-handedly reversing the situation of the duel between the two countries was indeed an accomplishment.

The citizens all nodded in agreement; compared to this feat, embezzling the treasury seemed trivial.

After all, the treasury’s money was out of reach for them anyway.

At this moment, however, Qin Jun took a severed head out of his storage ring—it was unmistakably Xiahou En’s.

“Is that…?”

The Qian Emperor was moved; he loathed Xiahou En to the bone, recognizing him at first glance not only because Xiahou En had been involved with his consort, but also because of his long history of fomenting war, causing the court extreme frustration.

“This head is none other than the traitorous general, Xiahou En!”

Qin Jun held high Xiahou En’s head as he declared, causing an uproar among the crowd.

Xiahou En’s notoriety was well known throughout the Qianyue Kingdom, and even Nan Meng had failed to capture him multiple times.

No one expected that the Third Prince would be the one to kill him!

Guan Yu, with a smile, stroked his beard.

He understood that Qin Jun was on the path to vindication and felt immense pride, for it was he who helped Qin Jun secure his current standing.

Yet even without him, Qin Jun could have relied on Daji.

Having said his piece, Qin Jun fell silent, now looking towards the loft with a smile, more precisely at his nominal emperor father.

Father and son locked eyes as everyone else hushed.

Even Zhu Yishi looked at Qin Jun with confusion, having had no impression of him before and only knowing that the Fifth Prince, Qin Yu, was the most powerful among the princes of the Qianyue Kingdom.

Now it seemed that the Third Prince was the true powerhouse!

“I hereby announce,” the Qian Emperor said after locking eyes with Qin Jun for five seconds, smiling, “Third Prince Qin Jun, having slain the traitorous general Xiahou En, has redressed his faults with merit, restoring his princely title.

Furthermore—” The Qian Emperor’s pause on the word ‘furthermore’ made everyone’s breath hitch in anticipation.
