The King of the Warring States Era - C67
Someone from outside Chen Mansion shouted loudly, spoke rudely, called Chen Ling by his name, and told him to scram, then sparred with the Master of the dojo. This was a blatant provocation, and the moment Chen Ling moved out of the house, he came looking for his misfortune.
Not only did the people of the Daliang City know about it, even the other nobles of the various countries knew that the young hero of the battle from the Wei Nation had come. In addition to that, the moment Chen Ling returned to the Wei Gongzi Residence, he had immediately clashed with the crown prince and killed a somewhat famous swordsman under the crown prince, Jiang Guyuan.
Teng Hu, Shen Zheng and the others followed behind Chen Ling as they wielded their sharp swords. They clearly knew that a fierce battle was unavoidable, but they were all people who had experienced hundreds of battles on the battlefield, covered in killing intent and spirits of the army. They were not afraid of death at all.
Chen Ling and the others walked to the entrance, and saw that there were a lot of warriors standing in front of the door, there were at least dozens of them, with swords in their hands, their faces were filled with ridicule and sneer. The moment they saw Chen Ling and the others come out, their gazes were all as sharp as swords as they stared at them, fixedly on Chen Ling and his followers.
“Which one of you is Chen Ling?” A knife-scarred man stood out of the crowd and shouted fiercely.
Teng Hu saw that the other party was being rude and was extremely furious. He walked forward and shouted: “Who the hell are you? If you dare to run to our Chen Mansion and behave so atrociously, I will cut off your head and feed it to the dogs! ”
“You’re courting death!” The knife-scarred man suddenly pulled out his sword, a cold light appearing as he pointed it at Teng Hu, and said sinisterly: What kind of thing is a servant worthy of speaking to me? If I kill you, it would not be against the laws of the king! ”
Chen Ling took a step forward, and was too lazy to waste words with him, his gaze swept past the martial artists and swordsmen as he spoke: “I am Chen Ling, why are you here looking for trouble?”
The knife-scarred man laughed coldly: “So you are Chen Ling, a mere pretty boy, what ability do you have to be so famous in the Daliang City? “This is the head of our dojo. Today, he is going to spar with you on sword techniques. Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
Chen Ling snorted: “The Autumn Hunt is around the corner, I do not have the time to spar with people who are bored. Please go back, I apologize for not being willing to accompany you.”
“Hmph, Chen Ling, are you afraid?”
“Exactly, if you’re afraid, kowtow three times in front of our head, and we won’t make things difficult for you again”
“How could three be enough? He would need at least ten!”
“Haha …”
Without the protection of the Wei Gongzi Residence, these warriors did not put Chen Ling in their eyes at all. They did not have enough consideration for him, so they wanted to ridicule him in front of him and force him to accept the challenge, and let him be injured by the school master on the spot. If they were to defeat him, the school head’s status would instantly skyrocket, and even if King Wei knew about it, he would not pursue the matter any further, because he was not as skilled as the school head, and would not even be able to beat the school master, let alone Qiu Yicai who was close to the Martial Saint.
“Clang! Clang! Clang!”
Teng Hu, Shen Zheng, Fan Fan and the rest all brandished their weapons, eyes tearing up, about to rush forward and fight with their lives on the line.
These warriors from the dojo also brought out their weapons, they did not show any signs of weakness and pulled out their swords, pointing towards Chen Ling and the family general behind him.
Chen Ling also had his own killing intent, he glanced at the warriors and said: “Which one of you is the Master, show yourself for a conversation, let these ants be the vile ones in front, it’s extremely boring, I can kill all of them with a raise of my hand.”
“What?” You can kill us all. Come, kill us all! ” Many warriors pointed their swords at Chen Ling. If they disagreed, they would start attacking.
Suddenly, between the warriors, a middle-aged martial artist shouted, “All of you, shut up!”
When the warriors heard the shout, they all stopped their shouting, and then a human path appeared, where the middle-aged man walked out with big steps, wearing a green crown, his brows like swords, and wearing a grey robe. In his hand was an unsheathed sword, and he had an extraordinary bearing, and his muscles and bones were sturdy and powerful.
“You are Chen Ling? I am, the head of Suo Yue Dojo. I heard that the Lieutenant Chen’s sword techniques are profound and that by killing Jiang Guyuan, my reputation is flourishing. Yue Hongyu’s eyes were cold as they enveloped Chen Ling, revealing the demeanor of a martial master.
Chen Ling said indifferently: “What if I refuse to spar?”
Yue Hongyu laughed loudly, then said with a cold expression: “Then kneel down and acknowledge me as your master, then you can send a message to Qiu Yicai, and will not be able to kill again during the sword competition. This way, you can preserve your life, and will be on the side of the crown prince from now on.”
Chen Ling sneered: “You think you can make me kneel?”
Yue Hongyu’s face congealed, and said sinisterly: “Since you do not know how to appreciate favors, then come down and compare notes, or else your Chen Mansion will not be at peace day and night.”
Hearing that he had accepted the challenge, Yue Hongyu was secretly happy in his heart, he turned to the surrounding warriors and said: “Listen carefully, life and death depends on fate. Tell the people outside, when this Sect Leader spars with Chen Ling, the sword beams will not have eyes, whoever gets injured or killed, they will all be fighting according to the rules, no one is allowed to take revenge.”
The knife-scarred man and the other warriors laughed sinisterly. They spread out in an arc, creating a space for them to compete with each other in swords. At this time, there were many people gathered outside, including scholars, farmers, rangers, and close to a hundred people.
Amongst the crowd, there was a yellow clothed gongzi and his attendant, only to hear the yellow clothed gongzi whispering: “So he really is Chen Ling!”
“It’s him?” Ling Chen! Damn it, I didn’t expect that the person he told Young Master about yesterday was a fake name, causing us to have wasted our time in Wei Gongzi Residence. ” The manservant lightly rebuked.
The yellow clothed young master was Luo Yu, and sweetly smiled: “Same here, same here, have we ever told him his real name before?”
“Miss, do you think that Childe Chen can defeat that Master Hong Kong?”
Luo Yu frowned: “The school head is a mature martial arts master, he must have trapping skills, be proficient in multiple sword techniques, fist techniques, and weapons, this Chen Ling seems to only be a Level Two Warriors, it’s really strange, how does he have the guts to fight someone close to the Martial Saint?”
“The young miss has long been a Martial Saint, she can give him some pointers whenever she wants, in case he gets killed by Qiu Yicai.”
Luo Yu sighed lightly: “Since I was young, I have studied the sword techniques in the Sword Palace in Qi Nation, but unfortunately, after more than ten years, I have only reached the fifth stage of [Resonance of the Hundred Organs], and was merely at the peak of half-step, and is only ranked fourth among all the disciples of the same generation in the Sword Palace. It is said that among the young generation of the War Country, ten experts of the Mountain and River List have been expelled, and they are all warriors of the sixth stage, not one bit weaker than some elders of the ancient Sword Faction.”
