Eternal Sword

Chapter 219 Momentum
Early the next morning, more and more people in the capital gathered towards the arena.

The news of the battle between Chen Tang and Sang Han had spread throughout the capital yesterday. From the imperial court to the streets, everyone was talking about it.

At first, it did not cause such a big reaction in the capital.

After all, over the past few days, young warriors from all over Kyushu have come to Beijing to compete, and they have all been defeated, without exception.

People in the capital are also tired of it.

What's there to see in a total loss?

Even ordinary people feel ashamed and complain privately that the Qilin List is only for the benefit of others.

But this time, it is said that the emperor will come to Suzaku Tower to watch the battle!
The Suzaku Tower is not far from the arena, built along Suzaku Street. It is considered the most famous restaurant in the capital and is usually a gathering place for the children of the capital's dignitaries. It has seven floors and an excellent view.

Some people of status and power in the capital had already reserved seats in restaurants and teahouses near the arena.

Ordinary people cannot enter these tall buildings, but they can watch the fights on the streets surrounding the arena.

"We've made such a big fuss. If we lose again, I wonder how this will end."

"Where did this Chen Tang come from? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"Hey! You are ignorant. This person is a lay disciple of Xinping Zen Temple. Just over a month ago, he defeated a young master of Tantric Buddhism in the temple."

"hehe."

One of them sneered, "This expert, that expert, they were all experts before the barbarians came. But in the end, they were still beaten to a pulp."

As time went by, the crowd surged and more and more people gathered towards the ring.

I don’t know how much time passed.

"I'm coming!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

The crowd gradually parted, and Chen Tang came to the stage under the escort of Qilin Guards and Xuanwu Guards.

In addition to Yuan Qingmo, Changsun Ming also came along with the support of Murong Haitang.

Chen Tang looked back at everyone, nodded slightly, turned around and stepped onto the stage.

"Is this Chen Tang? He looks quite strong and good-looking. I hope he is not a weakling."

"But I heard that this person has some grievances with Xuantian Sect."

"Ah? That's too bad. Without the protection of the Xuantian Sect's gods, this person will definitely fail!"

There were discussions all around, but Chen Tang seemed not to hear them and looked calm.

The closer it gets to a major war, the more important it is to maintain a clear state of mind, with a clear mind and not be disturbed by the outside world.

Not long after, the barbarian delegation pushed through the crowd and arrived under the arena.

Sang Han leaped up and, relying only on the strength of his legs, he jumped directly onto the platform, which was more than ten feet high. He looked relaxed and eager to try.

The more people around him, the more excited he becomes!

Sang Han shook his neck left and right twice, making a crackling sound of bones. He looked at Chen Tang provocatively, licked his lips, and his eyes showed the light of discovering prey!
The bigger the noise Qianguo makes, the greater the sense of accomplishment he will feel when he destroys the other side!

During this trip, he defeated more than just the young warriors of Qian Country.

He wanted to plant a seed in the hearts of the people of Qian.

Those are the barbarians, invincible!
This seed will one day blossom and bear fruit.

Facing Sang Han's provocation, Chen Tang remained expressionless and even closed his eyes to rest.

"Ha ha!"

Sanghan laughed and said, "You are scared!"

In Sang Han's eyes, Chen Tang's action was a manifestation of avoidance and fear!
The two men stood on both sides of the ring and were not in a hurry to fight.

They are also waiting for the most important person!

The Emperor of Qian Kingdom!

"This ring battle is truly unprecedented. Look at the sixth floor of the Suzaku Tower. The Grand Marshal, the Prime Minister, and Wang Yu's envoys are all here!"

"Yes, I just took a look and it seems that all the three dukes and nine ministers of Qian Kingdom are here!"

"Look, the emperor is here too!"

"Where, where?"

On the other side of Suzaku Street, Yuan Qingshan and Du's carriage, escorted by the Xuanwu Guards, were heading this way.

In the end, the crowd was so dense that the carriage could not pass. Yuan Qingshan and Du got off the carriage and walked towards the Suzaku Tower with Yuan Qingmu and other royal family members.

"Where's Li Yan?"

Prime Minister Cui Yuan saw this scene on the sixth floor of Suzaku Tower and his face darkened as he asked with a sidelong glance.

Among the officials, an old man in his fifties stood up.

"Greetings to Prime Minister Cui..."

Li Yan stepped forward and saluted.

"How did you become the Minister of the Imperial Household?"

Cui Yuan pointed downwards and frowned, "You knew His Majesty was coming today, but you didn't even leave a way for Him to pass?"

Cui Yuan spoke in a very stern tone, and he scolded in front of all the officials.

"Prime Minister Cui, calm down. The emperor specifically told me last night that there is no need to close the road today, so as not to affect the people in the city."

Li Yan said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Your Majesty cares for the people, but as the Minister of the Imperial Household, you should share his worries while you are receiving his salary!"

Cui Yuan knew clearly that Li Yan was not to blame, but he still argued with reason.

The emperor has given an order, how dare he disobey it?
Li Yan did not answer.

"Go down first."

Cui Yuan waved.

After all, with the escort of the Xuanwu Guards, Yuan Qingshan and Du still managed to get here through the crowd and climb up to the Suzaku Tower.

After arriving at the sixth floor and meeting with all the officials headed by the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, Yuan Qingshan and Du climbed to the top floor of Suzaku Tower.

"I know you have been waiting for a long time, so I won't say anything. You two..."

Yuan Qingshan was standing in front of the window on the top floor of Suzaku Tower, and was about to announce the start of the battle, when he was interrupted by a sudden burst of loud bells and resounding sounds from afar.

"Xuantian Immortal Venerable, cares for all living beings, educates the world, and saves all living things!"

The next moment, a chanting sound came from far away, as if it had some kind of magic.

The so-called Immortal Xuantian is not the Sect Leader Xuantian.

Instead, he is a deity worshipped in Xuantian Sect.

I saw a large group of Xuantian sect members coming from the direction of the inner city. They all had a solemn expression, as if they were bodies without souls, and they could only chant over and over again.

"Only I, Xuantian, shine with the sun and the moon!"

"I am Xuantian, and I will live as long as heaven and earth!"

"Only I, Xuantian, will live forever!"

Later on, the voices of this group of Xuantian sect members became louder and louder.

Some of the believers had red faces and bulging veins on their necks, and they seemed to be roaring with all their might.

He said something about caring for all living beings and teaching the world, but his face was extremely ferocious, as if he wanted to eat people!
The momentum was so great that it even suppressed the Emperor of Qian, the officials in the capital, and millions of people in the surrounding areas.

The streets were originally extremely crowded.

But after this group of Xuantian sect members arrived, everyone showed awe and made way for them.

suddenly!

A towering figure like a mountain came from the horizon.

It seemed as if some flower petals were scattered on top of his head.

Golden lotuses continued to emerge under his feet.

With an evilly handsome face, bronze skin, and eyes as deep as the sea, he exudes an almost demonic charm as soon as he appears, which makes people involuntarily feel awe and want to worship him!
Chen Tang on the ring resisted the urge to roll his eyes and sneered in his heart.

After all, I had heard of similar scenes in books in my previous life, so I was not surprised.

Originally, he thought only an idiot would believe it.

Now it seems that this thing is really useful.

　Some book friends said that the fighting is a bit slow. There is always a need for foreshadowing and setting off... In fact, it is just the update that is slow, not the fighting. If there are many updates, the fighting will start in two days.
