Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 737 A Crazy Bet, A Legendary Weapon! (5200)

Seeing this, Cao Xing couldn't help but think to himself, "This guy's entrance was damn flashy!"

"There's actually someone who's even more pretentious than me?!"

At the same time, the young man landed lightly.

He headed straight for Talia, completely ignoring Cao Xing and the others around him.

"Beautiful Lady Talia, we meet again," Kailan said with a joyful expression.

Talia glanced at the man in front of her, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashed in her eyes.

However, out of respect for the other party's legendary status, Talia still bowed slightly and said, "Greetings, Lord Kailan."

A smile appeared on the young man's face: "Ms. Talia, there's no need to be so polite. We'll be family soon."

Hearing this, everyone felt a little strange.

Kai Lan, however, said directly, "I came all the way from the North Wind Kingdom, crossing tens of thousands of kilometers, heading straight for the Orchid Kingdom."

"It's so that I can express my love to you."

At this point, he bowed slightly and extended a fair hand: "Ms. Talia, please marry me!"

"I will take you back to the Kingdom of Northwind, and then you will reach that realm and become a powerful legendary expert!"

The audience erupted in uproar upon hearing the young man's bold declaration of love.

Clearly, this legendary powerhouse was one of Talia's many suitors.

Moreover, he was very proactive and bold.

Proposing to someone in public is an overwhelming offensive that most women simply can't resist.

Cao Xing crossed his arms, a look of great interest on his face, and stared at the young man.

【Name:? ? ? 】

【grade:? ? ? 】

【property:???】

【Skill:???】

...

The other party seems to have some kind of ability to block detection; the system panel displays a bunch of question marks.

But one thing is certain: this person does indeed possess legendary combat power.

"Do you know him? Lord Oran?" Cao Xing asked.

Lord Oran nodded slightly, then said in a low voice, "Lord Cao Xing, this Kai Lan is one of the legendary powerhouses from the Northern Wind Kingdom that I mentioned before."

"This person is a renowned prodigy, with exceptionally powerful talent!"

"It took only two hundred years to reach the legendary level."

At this point, he lowered his voice even further: "Also, his father is Kai..."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing's expression shifted slightly: "You mean, the one currently ranked number one?"

"Yes."

Lord Oran nodded solemnly, "It is that 'Undying Demon Body' Armor, the King of the North Wind Kingdom, one of only two strong individuals in sixty years to pass the fifth round of trials."

"It is said that Kai is already very close to becoming a demigod, and has been preparing to break through to that level in recent years."

"Once his father breaks through to demigod level, plus the legendary level Kai Lan."

"Then the Kingdom of Northwind will become one of the most powerful kingdoms in the northern part of the Western Continent."

"Therefore... Lord Cao Xing, please try your best..."

Cao Xing understood what the Lord of Oran meant.

He meant to say that he should try his best not to provoke this person.

He has a powerful background, and even his father, who is about to break through to demigod status, is backing him up!

but……

Even if Cao Xing were to break through to demigod status, or even if a true demigod were to arrive, would he be afraid?

He chuckled and shook his head.

Of course, since this young man didn't bother him, Cao Xing didn't bother with him.

At the same time, Talia took a step back in the face of Kairan's direct declaration of love.

With a serious look in her beautiful eyes, she shook her head and said, "I'm very sorry, Lady Kailan, I cannot accept your love."

"Right now, I just want to break through to the legendary level through my own efforts."

"Moreover, the Iron Rose Mercenary Group is based here, and I cannot accompany you to the Kingdom of Northwind."

Upon hearing this, Kai Lan solemnly said, "I can send people to bring the entire Iron Rose Mercenary Group to the North Wind Kingdom, and I will pour resources into making you the third largest mercenary group in the country!"

"Miss Talia, I have come with the utmost sincerity!"

Upon hearing the terms he proposed, the entire room erupted in another uproar.

He not only agreed to accept all members of the Iron Rose Mercenary Group, but also promised to strengthen the group's power.

Such conditions are an irresistible temptation for most mercenaries on the field!

Many guild leaders even considered replacing Talia and returning to the Northwind Kingdom with Kairan.

Even Cao Xing was somewhat surprised.

He asked in bewilderment, "Is this Kailan so persistent? Is he determined to marry no one but Talia?"

Beside him, the Lord of Oran City chuckled and shook his head: "That's not it."

“Kai Lan had already been married before. Over the course of 200 years, he married princesses from four different kingdoms, thus binding the Northern Wind Kingdom to these four kingdoms.”

"It is precisely because of political marriages that the North Wind Kingdom's position has become increasingly stable."

"As for why I'm so obsessed with Talia..."

He paused, then continued, "Naturally, it's because of Talia's strength."

"The women he married before all had strong political backgrounds, but their actual abilities were mediocre; they could only be considered ordinary people."

"And Talia not only has an outstanding appearance, but also combat power that is about to break through to the legendary level."

"If we can get her onto the Northwind Kingdom's warship, it will be equivalent to the country having three legendary figures on the surface."

"At that time, the country's position will be even more secure, and no one will be able to shake it!"

After listening to the explanation from the Lord of Oran City, Cao Xing nodded in understanding.

"So, it turns out that everything is related to politics and interests?"

Talia was no fool, and she naturally knew why Kailan was pursuing her.

She continued to refuse, saying, "I'm sorry, Lady Kailan, I don't really want to go to the North Wind Kingdom for the time being."

"Now, I will begin my arena trials."

The implication is that you can leave now and stop lingering here.

However, after being rejected several times in public, the young man seemed to be losing patience.

He exuded an extremely oppressive aura.

Faced with this aura, the closest members of the Iron Rose Mercenary Group turned pale and their bodies trembled violently!
Feeling the pressure emanating from the other party, Talia frowned slightly. "Lady Kairan, what do you mean?"

The young man's expression grew cold, and he said in a low voice, "Talia... you still don't understand what joining the Kingdom of the Northwind means."

"I can save you from taking more than a decade of detours!"

After he finished speaking, he extended a hand and gently shook it.

An invisible force of restraint bound Talia.

Seeing this, everyone understood his plan.

Kailan was actually planning to forcibly take Talia away!

The mercenaries and adventurers around were all very surprised, but none of them dared to step forward to stop it.

"Let...let me go!" Talia struggled desperately.

However, although she is about to break through to the legendary level, she has not yet reached that level.

The gap between a hero and a legend is as vast as an insurmountable chasm!
No matter how much she struggled, she could not break free from the shackles of youth.

The members of Talia's mercenary group were also extremely anxious, but the gap between them and the legendary realm was too great, and they couldn't help at all.

The young man's voice remained low and deep: "Talia, you'll thank me when we reach the Kingdom of the North Wind!"

Please forgive my rudeness.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stretched out a hand, preparing to forcibly take Talia away.

At this time-

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

An icicle shot out instantly, heading straight for the young man's forehead.

A look of surprise flashed in Kai Lan's eyes.

Because he sensed a deadly sense of danger within that tiny icicle.

"legend……"

Kai Lan's expression turned serious, and he instantly drew the longsword shrouded in black mist from his waist.

The moment the sword was drawn, the surrounding light seemed to distort!
"Keng!"

The sword, radiating a dark aura, collided with the ice shards, producing a metallic clang.

The moment the icicles shattered, a powerful burst of cold air erupted, instantly freezing the ground within a radius of tens of meters into a mirror-like ice field.

At the same time, the binding force on Talia was shattered by the aftershocks.

She almost instinctively retreated behind Cao Xing, her ear tips peeking out from her red hair still trembling slightly, clearly still shaken.

On the field, everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

The mercenaries stared wide-eyed in astonishment, exclaiming, "Gods above! Someone has actually forced Lord Kai Lan to retreat?"

"Who is this person?"

After the first exchange, Kai Lan did not make any rash moves. He gripped his black longsword, more tears seeping from a blood-red diamond on the hilt, and looked at Cao Xing with a solemn gaze.

"A lord from another world... you actually possess legendary combat power, just who are you?"

Cao Xing shrugged, and frost silently spread beneath his feet: "Just a passing ice mage."

Upon hearing this answer, Kai Lan frowned slightly.

His gaze swept over Cao Xing and Talia, his dark red pupils flashing with a thoughtful light, as if he were trying to guess their relationship.

At this moment, the black mist longsword in his hand trembled violently, and more teardrops seeped from the blood diamond at the scabbard, as if it were yearning for something.

Following the guidance of the sword intent, Kai Lan suddenly looked up, his gaze instantly locking onto Isabel in the crowd.

Upon sensing the immense holy light emanating from her, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

"I misjudged the situation; there's actually a legendary Holy Light Sage here!"

"No wonder my 'Whispers of the Eternal Night - Godslayer' is so excited!"

He looked at Isabel with longing, as if he had discovered some treasure.

"If I can kill this Holy Light Sage, the power of my Godslayer will increase dramatically once again!"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Xing's gaze suddenly turned icy cold.

A palpable killing intent swept out like a blizzard, instantly engulfing Kai Lan!

Meanwhile, Assam had already drawn the Lake Maiden's sword, and Sarah disappeared into the shadows...

The group of powerful figures drew their weapons and locked onto the man in front of them!

Locked onto by so much powerful killing intent, even Kai Lan, a legendary expert, couldn't help but take a half step back.

His hand holding the sword trembled slightly, as if even the [Whispers of the Night] in his hand felt fear.

Even the onlookers were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

That ordinary-looking lord from another world suddenly unleashed such terrifying power!

And the members behind him were equally fierce; even the legendary-level Kai Lan was forced to retreat!

This made them even more curious: just who was this lord from another world?

In front of so many people, Kai Lan forced himself to stand up and deliberately raised his voice: "I am the heir of the Northern Wind Kingdom. My father is Kai, a being who is about to break through to the level of a demigod!"

"If you're going to lay a hand on me, you'd better think carefully about the consequences!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing suddenly laughed.

As he smiled, the surrounding temperature plummeted by dozens of degrees again, and everyone felt as if they had instantly fallen into an ice cave, feeling a bone-chilling cold from head to toe.

"Give you a chance."

Cao Xing slowly raised his staff, and a vast amount of ice element was mobilized by him.

"Now, apologize to my subordinates."

"Otherwise, I don't care whether your father is the King of the North Wind or the King of the South Wind, I will make you... stay in this ruin forever!"

On the field, the other mercenaries and adventurers watching didn't dare to even breathe under this terrifying sense of oppression!

They all knew that the young man in front of them was not to be trifled with either; this was a struggle between powerful figures.

If you rashly get involved, you might not even have a chance to speak before being killed on the spot!

Faced with Cao Xing's threat, Kai Lan's face turned ashen, and his shoulders trembled violently.

As a peerless genius renowned throughout the northern part of the Western Continent, coupled with his background, he was highly respected wherever he went.

Even Queen Youlan and King Bingjing treated him with great respect!
However, he felt incredibly humiliated to be threatened in front of so many people by a lord from another world.

However... he could also sense just how terrifying the strength of this group was!
Even when facing his father, who was about to break through to demigod status, he did not feel such intense pressure!

Finally, Kai Lan gritted her teeth, sheathed her longsword, and bowed deeply to Isabel: "I am very... sorry, Holy Light Sage."

Upon seeing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar!

This unruly heir of the Northwind Kingdom actually bowed and apologized to a subordinate of a lord from another world!
In other words, he gave in to Cao Xing.

Talia covered her mouth, her eyes beneath her red hair filled with shock.

She knew better than anyone that this arrogant prince had never bowed his head to anyone...

However, Cao Xing did not stop there. Instead, he looked at the Holy Light Sage beside him and asked, "Isabel, do you accept his apology?"

"If you don't want to accept it, we'll continue killing him now."

His words were calm, as if he were dealing not with a venerable legend, but with a wild monster by the roadside.

This made Kai Lan's face turn pale, and a look of humiliation appeared in her eyes.

Upon hearing the lord's question, a look of gratitude appeared in Isabel's eyes.

She gently pressed the holy emblem on her chest and said softly, "My lord, your protection is the greatest respect you can show me."

"We have other things to do, so we don't need to waste time on this person."

Clearly, Isabel didn't want to cause trouble for Cao Xing.

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing raised his hand, and everyone put away their weapons.

As they moved, the terrifying sense of oppression receded like the tide.

Everyone on the field breathed a heavy sigh of relief, only to realize, in their daze, that their backs were soaked with cold sweat...

Cao Xing waved his hand: "Alright, let's continue challenging the Ancient Arena."

"Talia, you're coming with us too."

After saying that, he turned around and didn't even glance at Kai Lan.

Talia also knew that this was Cao Xing's way of protecting her.

A look of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and he quietly took a few steps closer.

Meanwhile, Kairan, who was behind her, noticed Talia's actions and a look of jealousy appeared in his eyes. His hand on the hilt of his sword trembled slightly.

He wished he could draw his sword right now and kill this lord from another world!

This man made him lose face in public, and now even the woman he was pursuing has left him.

From childhood to adulthood, Prince North Wind had never suffered such a humiliation!
However, considering the astonishing aura that this group had just unleashed, Kai Lan had no confidence in defeating them.

Even the mercenaries looked on incredulously.

What happened today really opened their eyes.

Cao Xing paid no attention to the reactions of these people and prepared to distribute the soul crystals.

Just when everyone thought that Kai Lan was going to suffer in silence.

"Wait a minute!"

Behind him, Kai Lan's hoarse voice came.

Cao Xing turned around and stared at him with an unfriendly expression: "Is there anything else?"

Hearing this, Kai Lan's face remained pale, but he still maintained the demeanor of a legendary powerhouse.

He said in a deep voice, "You just said you wanted to challenge the ancient arena?"

Cao Xing said indifferently, "What's it to you?"

Kai Lan declared loudly, "Next, I'm also going to challenge the arena."

A glint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes. "In that case, would you be interested in making a bet with me?"

"Let's take the trial together, and then bet on who ranks higher on the stone tablet!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately stirred.

Lord Oran whispered a reminder: "Lord Cao Xing, this Prince Kai Lan usually likes to make bets with some powerful people."

"Besides, his bets are usually very large, so you need to be careful..."

Cao Xing nodded silently.

Then, she glanced at the prince speechlessly and said, "You're a bit boring. I'm not interested."

But Kai Lan suddenly stepped forward, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes: "What, are you scared?"

He deliberately raised his voice, "Since you dare to stand up for Talia, why don't you even have the guts to have a fair bet with me?"

"Or are you just a coward who only dares to step forward because you have more people?"

At this moment, the entire venue fell into dead silence!

The mercenaries and adventurers looked at the two with trepidation, already considering retreating.

They all knew that both sides were powerful figures they couldn't afford to offend, and both possessed legendary combat abilities.

A legendary battle might just erupt here!
If they get involved, given their strength, they won't even know how they died!

The powerful figures behind them, including Marlena and Sarah, also gripped their weapons.

As long as Cao Xing gives the order, they will rush out and kill the guy in front of them.

Cao Xing fell silent.

After a moment, he suddenly chuckled: "Although your provocation was clumsy, it did pique my interest."

"Tell me, what's the stake?"

When Kai Lan heard Cao Xing agree, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

As if seeing his big fish take the bait, a smile curved his lips.

"If you can beat me, I will not only stop bothering Talia from now on."

"At the same time, I also present my weapon, [Whispers of the Night - Soul Eater], with both hands!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed the black sword into the ground, the blade emitting a piercing hum!

Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in an uproar.

The mercenaries exclaimed in shock, "By the gods! Lord Kailan's weapon is a legendary weapon!"

"Yes, it's said that this weapon also seals a terrifying soul, which has the potential to evolve into a higher level!"
