The King of the Warring States Era - C53

The Crown Prince’s words were like a punishment as it forced Chen Ling into a dilemma. One must know that in this Warring States Age, the people who wield power are like the wind, but as a guest, the subordinates of the other party were only able to leave if the master did not betray them or did something that was unworthy of the subordinate. Otherwise, the guests would not be able to break their promises and hide.

In the past, there were rich men who were loyal to their master, but were able to kill without hesitation. This was the vivid image of the warriors of the Spring and Autumn Period, who still treated their own lives as their own, but had promised very seriously that if they betrayed their masters, their reputation would be ruined.

Wei Yu’s face sunk as he quietly watched Chen Ling’s decision. If decided to betray his master, he wouldn’t hesitate to find someone to kill him secretly to prevent the crown prince’s camp from having another powerful assistant.

Seeing the crown prince’s face that was covered the ground, he laughed and helped to answer, “Brother Wang, Chen Ling has escorted Mr. Gump on a long journey, and just returned to Daliang City, the boat is exhausted, and he has expended a lot of energy. Furthermore, Chen Ling is not a travelling swordsman, it’s just that he has obtained a Lieutenant on the battlefield, and is not proficient in fighting with swords, I think we can forget about it.”

The Crown Prince snorted, “This Highness is here tonight. This match is definitely even more exciting than the sword.”

The crown prince shook his head and said, “This Highness only wants to see if the heroes that are praised on the streets of Daliang City deserve the title. Other people can’t come on their behalf, what do you think, Chen Ling, if you’re a man, you can accept the challenge and hide under the protection of others, what kind of heroes are you?”

Chen Ling’s eyes flashed an unyielding look, he knew that the other party was trying to goad him, but in Warring States Age, the ancient rangers did not say a word, and immediately pulled out their swords, pleased with their kindness and hatred, with a sword in hand, the mountains and rivers trembled, if the Sovereign King was to be killed, the Blood Soaring King Palace, even if it killed Heroic bones, it would not be a shame.

“A man must live a carefree and carefree life!” Chen Ling made up his mind and said honestly: “Alright then, it’s better to obey than to be respectful. Chen Ling will make a fool of himself in front of the Crown Prince, prime minister, and Young Master.”

With his left hand, Mu Shaofeng spoke a few sentences beside Young Master Wei, causing Wei Yu’s eyes to light up. He took a step forward and said: “Chen Ling is originally a general on the battlefield, not a sword wielder, his martial arts are divided according to his warrior rank, he is only a level 2 sword wielder.

At this time, the Crown Prince found out about Chen Ling’s background through the Martial Saint warriors around him. He was a late stage Martial Disciple, and a Level 2 Swordsman, and seemed to have not been promoted for very long, and his strength was still weak. There were already seven to eight people under his command, but a warrior who had just become a Martial Master last night, and had yet to reveal his appearance and temperament, had already sent him out, which was enough to kill Chen Ling.

The Crown Prince laughed sinisterly, then turned to a swordsman beside him and said: “Jiang Guyuan, you will be stepping out to spar with Chen Ling, with your sword showing anger, and with your destiny.” The meaning of her words was that she no longer cared about life and death.

Jiang Guyuan raised her sword and walked out, she nodded her head coldly: “This subordinate understands, and will not let down the efforts of the crown prince.”

“It’s him, Jiang Guyuan. It is said that during his time in Martial Disciple, he was able to fight against Martial Masters without losing. His swordsmanship is sharp, not the slightest bit inferior to Martial Masters.”

“That’s right. Some time ago, there was a quarrel with someone in the brothel, and that person actually injured a Martial Master. From then on, his reputation spread far and wide.”

When Jiang Guyuan appeared, a few of the guests on the Wei Gongzi Residence recognized him. It was rumored that Jiang Guyuan was not a martial master, but she was not any weaker than a martial master. Everyone was discussing and worrying about Chen Ling.

On the contrary, the people from the crown prince’s side were all secretly laughing in their hearts. Jiang Guyuan had just become a martial master yesterday, her entire body’s muscles and bones had doubled in strength, reaching the strength of five horses.

The Crown Prince said with a smile, “Go on, after you win, the This Highness will set up a table for you in the most bustling flower pavilion in Daliang City to celebrate.”

Jiang Guyuan respectfully accepted the order, her mouth revealing a pleased smile, although he had just become a martial master, that was because her body’s condition and various functions had broken through the threshold of martial master, through practicing all sorts of external techniques, she connected the strength of her four limbs and waist, connecting the muscles and veins, righting the bones, adjusting the Qi, and altering the tendons and body.

However, there were also different levels of Martial Masters. Many of the lower and middle tier Martial Arts and sword techniques cultivated by Martial Masters had slow achievements, and they relied on hard work and perseverance to reach the age of 40 before they entered the ranks of Martial Masters. There were also some people who practiced high quality Martial Arts and possessed exceptional talent.

Jiang Guyuan had been practicing martial arts since she was young, and during these few years as a ranger, she had been taught a high quality sword art by a sword master for a few days. She had benefited greatly from these past two years of improvement, and with the help of a profound sword art, she was able to challenge a martial master above her level at the Level Two Warriors.

Young Master Wei had heard the discussions of the foreign delegates around him, his face changed slightly, and immediately looked down on Chen Ling, but at this point, with Gongsun Yan, Zhang Yi, and the other famous figures of War Nation around, no one could go back on their words, and they could only stop the battle from happening.

As long as Young Master Wei pleaded for mercy, it would mean that they believed Chen Ling was inferior to their opponent, and had ruined Chen Ling’s reputation, making it difficult for him to continue staying in the Wei Nation. Second, the Young Master Wei would definitely not humble himself and plead with the crown prince for the sake of a subordinate, and third, Chen Ling had agreed to it himself, so no one else had the right to interfere.

Jiang Guyuan and Chen Ling were separated by ten steps, standing face to face, both of their swords were not out yet, but they were still filled with a somber killing intent, Jiang Guyuan’s gaze was sharp, coldly looking at Chen Ling as though he was looking at a corpse, full of contempt, only to hear him say indifferently: “Call me Chen Ling, the Daliang City is spreading your stories, it’s a pity that you met me, tonight you won’t be able to enjoy your reputation, if you kneel down and admit your defeat, you can still save your life!”
