"Hiss ~ How is this possible…"
"Heavens, am I seeing things…"
" No, this must be an illusion. This can't be real…"
……
Outside the arena, all the dukes and princes were stunned. Everyone looked at what was happening in front of them in disbelief. They were dumbfounded and could not come back to their senses for a long time. Who would have thought that the heir of Marquis Tiger Might, who had always had the upper hand, would be sent flying by Chu Ming in one move? This was so sudden and unbelievable.
"Damn it, how could I lose, how could I lose…"
Feeling the churning blood essence in his body and the piercing pain in his chest, the son of Marquis Tiger Might's face turned purple with a whoosh, and he roared crazily in his heart. As one of the leaders among the princes of the Imperial Capital, he was actually defeated by a small character that he didn't even care about in a direct battle. This was definitely a humiliation, a great humiliation. He couldn't accept it. This kind of humiliation could only be washed away with blood.
However, just as Marquis Tiger Might's son was about to regroup and wash away his humiliation, Chu Ming's next attack descended!
" Warrior Skill-Heavy Strike!"
With a cold shout, the long halberd that flickered with dense killing intent drew a beautiful arc in the air, bringing with it an ear-piercing sound as it instantly arrived in front of the Marquis of Tiger Might's son. This attack was like an ancient god splitting the heavens and earth. The terrifying wind instantly tore through everything, so powerful that it made people breathless.
"Not good!"
The prince of the Marquis of Tiger Might was furious. He didn't expect Chu Ming to chase after him so quickly. By the time he reacted, the cold halberd was already above his head. He couldn't dodge it.
"Ah!"
With no other choice, the son of Marquis Tiger Might could only grit his teeth and let out a furious roar. He mustered all the True Qi in his body and raised his arms to receive Chu Ming's earth-shattering attack!
"Rumble! Kaka!"
In the next moment, just as the prince's arms met Chu Ming's fist, he felt an irresistible force crashing down. Cracking sounds instantly came from his arms and his body. Even his muscles were tearing.
"Puff ~"
A large mouthful of blood spurted out. Like a kite with a broken string, Marquis Tiger Might's son flew back for more than a hundred feet in the air before landing heavily on the ground. Then, he spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
"Heavens, Brother Yang…"
At this moment, the dukes and marquises finally recovered from their shock. When they saw that the heir of Marquis of Might of Tiger had fallen to the ground and could not get up, their expressions changed drastically as they rushed forward, afraid that there was something wrong with the heir of Marquis of Might of Tiger. After confirming that the heir of Marquis Tiger Might had only fainted and was in no danger, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
However, as they heaved a sigh of relief, the anger in everyone's hearts burned again. They glared at Chu Ming as if they wanted to eat him alive. Some of the more hot-tempered ones even shouted angrily," Damned b * stard, you actually dared to hurt the heir of Marquis Tiger Might. You're simply too audacious. You're dead. No one can save you. You're dead…"
The defeat of the heir of the Tiger Might Marquis was not only a disgrace to himself, but it was also a disgrace to all the heirs of the dukes and marquises. When had they, who boasted of their noble bloodlines and were insufferably arrogant, been slapped in the face like this? This was clearly the act of stirring up trouble in the head of the dragon, extremely daring. If looks could kill, Chu Ming would have died a thousand times over.
Chu Ming didn't even flinch when he saw all the princes gnashing their teeth in anger. He raised his eyebrows and sneered,""I even dared to hurt the Ninth Princess, so what if I hurt a duke's son? Not just him, I've said it before, all of you will leave here lying down.”
Chu Ming took a step forward and swung his halberd at the princes.
"You dare!"
"Impudent!"
……
Seeing that Chu Ming had actually dared to attack them, the dukes and princes were both shocked and furious. However, Chu Ming didn't care about this kind of threat. He shook his right arm, and the black iron halberd instantly turned into halberd shadows that covered the sky, enveloping all the dukes and princes like a storm.
Speaking of which, the strength of these dukes and marquises was not bad. Although they were still a few levels inferior to the son of Marquis Tiger Might, any one of them had the combat strength to enter the finals of the Martial Examination. Unfortunately, such strength was far from enough in front of the current Chu Ming. Moreover, Chu Ming had just defeated Marquis Hu Wei's son and was in his prime. The dukes and princes were terrified by Chu Ming's terrifying strength and their strength was reduced by 20%. Therefore, two of them were immediately sent flying by Chu Ming.
"Prince!"
"Young Master!"
……
Seeing that the masters had already started to move, how could the guards at the side still stand? They immediately drew their long knives and surrounded Chu Ming.
However, even the princes and marquises were no match for Chu Ming, so what could these ordinary guards do? In this world where martial arts were respected, any expert with some strength would not be willing to be a guard who was ordered around by others. Only those martial artists with ordinary strength and no potential would be ordered around by others for the sake of comfort. Of course, the personal guards of some nobles were different. However, those people could no longer be called guards, but confidants.
"Get lost!"
In the next moment, a shocking roar exploded. Before the guards could join the battle, they were already dizzy and their blood boiled. Some of the weaker ones only saw a blur before they fell to the ground, unable to catch their breath for a long time.
A moment later, when these guards regained their senses, they were shocked to find that the battle had already ended, and their masters were all lying on the ground with pale faces. As far as the eye could see, the entire courtyard was filled with all kinds of screams and curses.
In less than ten breaths, the eight princes who were slightly famous in the Imperial Capital were all defeated without any strength to fight back!
"What, what should we do?"
Seeing this scene, all the guards froze on the spot with fear on their faces, not knowing what to do. If they attacked, they would definitely end up like their master. If they fled, their ending would probably be even more miserable.
Fortunately, this dilemma didn't last long. Chu Ming's words made all the guards heave a sigh of relief.
"Take your master and scram!”Chu Ming said coldly. The main characters of this provocation were the princes, and these guards were just following orders. Chu Ming didn't want to argue with them and lose his status for nothing.
Hearing this, the guards felt like they had been pardoned. Without hesitation, they rushed forward and picked up all the princes. Then, they rushed out of the Rearguard Commandery. In the blink of an eye, they all disappeared from Chu Ming's sight. Chu Ming's words were fulfilled, and they all went out.
"Come out, get someone to clean up this place!”After everyone left, Chu Ming suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
"Yes, my lord!"
A slightly plump figure stepped out. It was Zhang Fu, the manager who Chu Ming had called back before the battle.
As the chief steward of the Rearguard Commandery, it was impossible for him to leave without a care for such a major event. Therefore, he had been hiding in the distance and secretly observing everything.
At first, when the heir of the Mighty Tiger Marquis made his move, Zhang Fu had the same thoughts as the other dukes and marquises. They thought that this young commandant would suffer a lot this time. After all, the heir of the Mighty Tiger Marquis was quite famous in the Imperial City, and no one in the younger generation was his match. However, what shocked him, no, shocked him, was that the final result of this battle was actually Chu Ming's victory. What shocked him even more, or rather, what stunned him even more, was that Chu Ming actually defeated all of the dukes and princes in one breath. When he saw that scene, he was so scared that he almost collapsed.
He was too domineering and too bold. Since the founding of the Great Qin Empire, when had such an unbridled madman appeared? Those people were all heirs of dukes and marquises, and they were all going to inherit their titles in the future. However, Chu Ming didn't even bat an eye and knocked them all to the ground like dead dogs. This wasn't just bold, it was crazy. It could be predicted that if they didn't take certain measures, the Rearguard Commandery wouldn't have a peaceful day in the future.
" Sir, there's something I don't know if I should say..." Zhang Fu hesitated for a moment and said.
"Speak!" Chu Ming said lightly.
" It's like this. Although these princes and marquises don't have titles or official positions yet, the power behind them can't be underestimated. Sir, you've offended them so badly this time. I'm afraid it'll be detrimental to your career and even your safety in the future. So, I think, I think…" Zhang Fu looked at Chu Ming hesitantly, as if he was afraid that his next words would offend him.
"There's no need to stutter. Continue!”Chu Ming frowned slightly.
"Yes, my lord!"
Hearing this, Zhang Fu no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and said,"Didn't His Highness the Second Prince send someone to give you a name card? It seems that the Second Prince thinks highly of you. As long as you respond, I believe that the Second Prince will gladly accept you. With the Second Prince's prestige in the court and his protection, I believe that those dukes and princes will never dare to find trouble with you again. Most importantly, once you rely on the Second Prince, your status will undoubtedly rise with the tide. It will also be a good guarantee for your future career.
