The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 66 - The King of All Weapons

66 -66: The King of All Weapons

“Even if you are the Third Prince, you can’t be so disrespectful.

We are directly under His Majesty’s Imperial Guard!”

Just as the atmosphere turned awkward, a bare-chested, burly man bellowed angrily, his voice thundering like a lion’s roar.

As soon as he spoke, the Imperial Guard soldiers training around began to gather, and the air seemed to freeze.

The sky grew darker, and the guards glared at Qin Jun with bloodshot eyes, truly giving off the impression of ferocious beasts ready to devour their prey.

“Who do you think you are?” Qin Jun glanced at him and asked.

Although the other party was at the first level of the Foundation Establishment realm, he was not afraid.

In the royal capital, anyone daring to lay hands on a prince risked the extermination of their entire family.

Those words left the burly man speechless, with taut muscles that made people tense up.

Veins writhed like earthworms, terrifyimg to behold.

“He is Zhou Litong, the head coach of the Imperial Guard.

In this area, all the guards are under his command.” Qin Yu said with a smile.

Zhou Litong was his man, meaning the entire Imperial Guard was his as well.

Now that Qin Jun had offended Zhou Litong, it meant that it would be very difficult for Qin Jun to win over the Imperial Guard in the future, even if the Qian Emperor intended it.

Zhou Litong would definitely be the first to object.

“Then what?

Father has sent me to choose men.

Does the head coach of the Imperial Guard not allow it?” Qin Jun said expressionlessly, “If that’s the case, then I’ll go back and have Father rescind the order!”

Having said that, Qin Jun turned around and left, with Shen Yan and the veteran officer hastily following.

“Third Highness, don’t be in such a hurry!”

“Your Highness, you can take your pick of soldiers from my legion, even two hundred would be no problem!”

To their surprise, Qin Jun walked faster and faster and eventually started to run, leaving Qin Yu and Zhou Litong dumbfounded.

This wasn’t how things were supposed to go, was it?

“This is bad!

We can’t let him make a scene with Father!”

Qin Yu’s expression changed, and he hurriedly chased after Qin Jun.

The Qian Emperor tended to be kind towards his princes, but there were certain things a prince absolutely could not do.

Though the Qian Emperor indulged Qin Yu in utilizing the Imperial Guard, he would never allow him to treat the Imperial Guard as his own underlings.

Since the establishment of the kingdom, the Imperial Guard had always been directly under the Emperor’s command.

It was so in the past, and would be so in the future.

Qin Yu wanted to catch up with Qin Jun, but how could he have expected Qin Jun to run with all his might, quickly sprinting out of the royal camp, leaving the patrolling soldiers bewildered.

This was their first time seeing a prince in such a hurry.

“Third Highness, slow down.”

Shen Yan followed closely behind.

In truth, he could easily have blocked Qin Jun’s way, but he preferred not to get involved in the princes’ struggle, so he didn’t mind playing along with Qin Jun’s game.

He had never encountered a prince like Qin Jun, who one second was flushed with anger and the next ran off like a child to tattle.

He found it quite amusing.

He didn’t believe for a moment that Qin Jun was really running away because he felt aggrieved; it was obvious that he was just trying to annoy Qin Yu.

“You won’t let me choose men, fine, then go explain it to the Qian Emperor yourself!”

Despite Qin Yu’s significant status in the court, he still wouldn’t dare to openly defy the Qian Emperor.

If the Qian Emperor’s command for Qin Jun to select Imperial Guards was overruled by Qin Yu, it would be a slap in the face for the Emperor.

Even Qin Jun, the most favored, would be demoted, and Qin Yu feared he’d be back to square one.

Unfortunately for Qin Yu, with Qin Jun having reached the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment realm and running at full speed, Qin Yu simply couldn’t catch up.

And so, Qin Jun and Shen Yan quickly left Qin Yu behind, and once they entered the palace, Qin Jun finally stopped and smiled at Shen Yan, “Eunuch Shen, please report what just happened to Father.

You must tell the truth without favoring me or Qin Yu.”

Shen Yan was taken aback and asked reflexively, “What about you?”

“I need to return to my own palace to practice.” Qin Jun waved his hand and headed toward his palace.

Gazing at his retreating figure, Shen Yan couldn’t help but sigh, “The Third Prince is truly a remarkable man, his actions are unpredictable.”

He had thought that Qin Jun would go and cry in front of the Qian Emperor, but to his surprise, the man had shown no such intention.

Instead, he insisted that Shen Yan relay the events truthfully to the Qian Emperor, leaving him perplexed.

Unbeknownst to him, Qin Jun had no desire for a hundred imperial guards as his subordinates; it was as if he had placed a hundred spies by his side.

…

Upon returning to his palace, despite the darkness, Qin Jun immediately sought out Guan Yu and requested, “Second Brother, do you know spear techniques?

Can you teach me?

I want to practice the long spear!”

With just a week left before Guan Yu would be dispatched to Yuguan City, he had to learn all he could from Guan Yu before then.

Ever since he first saw the Azure Dragon Soul-Seeking Spear, he had resolved to learn spear techniques.

“I do know some techniques.

Come on, let’s see if Your Highness has a talent for wielding a spear,” Guan Yu replied cheerfully, naturally pleased by Qin Jun’s eagerness to learn.

Moreover, hearing that Qin Jun wanted to learn spear techniques instinctively made him feel closer to the prince.

Having come from a cavalry background, he despised swords and thought that only weapons like broadswords, long spears, halberds, and other long arms, which allow one to fight freely amongst thousands of soldiers in battle, were truly peerless.

The palace was arranged as a courtyard, and the two quickly made their way to the open ground in the center, where Qin Jun took the Azure Dragon Soul-Seeking Spear out of his storage ring.

The silver light shone brilliantly, immediately catching Guan Yu’s eye as he praised in a low voice, “Fine spear!”

Then Qin Jun tossed the Azure Dragon Soul-Seeking Spear to Guan Yu, signaling him to demonstrate the spear techniques.

Guan Yu caught the spear with one hand, suspending it in the air; the sheer strength of the move left Qin Jun stunned.

Indeed, he was a martial saint!

“What a great long spear, at least of heavenly quality!” Guan Yu exclaimed in appreciation.

He did not covet it, for his own Azure Dragon Crescent Blade was of an even higher grade.

Then Guan Yu began to wield the spear.

His presence was so overwhelming that even before he moved, it felt as though heaven and earth would shatter.

Even without using his spiritual power, the ferocity of the wind forced Qin Jun to step back.

Yan Mobei, Daji, and Roaring Sky Dog, who had been resting, exited their respective rooms, drawn by the sound of Guan Yu’s spear.

Upon coming out, they saw Guan Yu wielding a cool, yard-long silver spear, and the entire palace courtyard was filled with raging winds, even startling the children of the Yan Family and drawing them outside.

As they watched Guan Yu’s domineering spear dance, each of them displayed looks of admiration.

Especially Yan San, who had improved by leaps and bounds in his cultivation since Guan Yu taught him a wind-attribute cultivation method.

He had broken through the first layer of the energy refining realm in just a few days, almost bringing Qin Jun to tears.

Damn, the speed was simply unbelievable.

Qin Jun noticed how Guan Yu’s spear technique was grand and expansive, sometimes grabbing the butt of the spear, sometimes holding it just below the head.

In his hands, the five-thousand-pound Azure Dragon Soul-Seeking Spear seemed as light as a stick and as easy to maneuver as he wished, without a hint of heaviness.

But the moment the spearhead thrust out, it felt as though it could pierce the world, unstoppable.

“The spear is indeed the king of all weapons!”

More and more wonder filled Qin Jun’s eyes.

Soon Guan Yu finished demonstrating the spear technique and tossed it back to Qin Jun.

The moment Qin Jun caught it, he nearly fell to the ground.

Damn it, I don’t have the same strength as you.

The others burst into laughter, thinking that Qin Jun was simply unable to handle the inertia of the Azure Dragon Soul-Seeking Spear.

“Have you memorized it?” Guan Yu asked calmly, stroking his beard.

His face was always red as a date, so even after wielding the spear, he maintained an air of nonchalance.
