Eternal Sword

Chapter 347 Guarding Glory
The old capital, Sichuan Palace.

Under the octagonal pavilion, Shen Che and Mingyue Sanren sat at separate tables, sipping tea leisurely.

"Regarding the genius battle, the odds of the top ten bookmakers have been announced."

Shen Che asked: "Who do you think is more promising this time, sir?"

Regarding the battle of geniuses, a series of industries have been formed in the old capital. Not only are there casinos opening and following up, but there are also many surrounding industries covering various sectors.

Mingyue Sanren asked, "What are the odds?"

Shen Che said: "The top three are still people from the three major families. Cong Yunjing is 1 to 1, Amaterasu Chizuru is 1 to 2, and Yue Ye Taro is 1 to 3. By the way, Feng Xing's odds are not high, 1 to 4."

The lower the odds, the more optimistic the bookmaker is about the prospects of this participant.

According to this odds ranking, the top four are Cong Yunjing, Amaterasu Chizuru, Tsukiyomaru, and Feng Xing.

Of course, this is just the ranking given by the gambling house at present.

The battle of geniuses has not yet begun, and the odds may be adjusted at any time.

Mingyue Sanren smiled and said, "I will put all my pressure on Murong Haitang in a while."

"Oh?"

Shen Che was a little surprised.

Before, he called over the entourage of Shen Yu who was traveling to the Hermit Island, and the information he obtained was not very detailed.

Chen Tang was able to defeat the Eight Vajras alone, so of course he had some skills.

But Shen Che was still a little surprised that Mingyue Sanren was so optimistic about him.

This gentleman has always had a very high vision. Even though he was most optimistic about Feng Xing, whom he believed had the highest talent among his peers, Mr. Mingyue did not agree with him.

Shen Che asked, "Sir, what rank do you think this person can get?"

Mingyue Sanren said calmly, "That depends on what rank he wants to achieve."

Shen Che was stunned.

This evaluation is too high.

What this means is that even if Chen Tang wants to win first place, it is not impossible!
At this moment, a guard outside rushed over with a look of surprise on his face. Before he got close, he slid to his knees and shouted, "My Lord, Feng Xing is dead!"

"Oh?"

Shen Che's eyes lit up and he asked, "Who killed him?"

"It's Murong Haitang."

The guard said quickly.

Shen Che was greatly encouraged and asked, "What happened? Please tell me in detail."

The guard said, "Miss Yu'er took Murong Haitang to Amaterasu Palace to test her age and cultivation, but they ran into Feng Xing."

"The two sides started arguing. It was nothing serious and could have ended in nothing. But Feng Xing said that the Subduing Tiger Fist was rubbish and broken, and Brother Murong got upset. The two sides challenged each other to a duel, and Feng Xing chose a fight to the death."

The guard was so excited that he changed his name unconsciously.

Shen Che became interested and asked, "What happened next? How long did it take for the two to fight to determine who was the winner? Was Murong Haitang injured?"

"hey-hey."

The guard laughed foolishly and said, "Feng Xing didn't even hurt Brother Murong. The two sides fought for less than ten moves..."

"Ten moves?"

Shen Che couldn't help but interrupt, somewhat unable to believe it.

"wrong."

The guard thought about it and shook his head, saying, "To be precise, in the first few moves, Feng Xing was chased by Brother Murong and he kept dodging. The real fight lasted only three moves. In those three moves, Feng Xing was killed by Brother Murong!"

Three strokes!

Shen Che's heart trembled, and he subconsciously looked at Mingyue Sanren.

Mingyue Sanren looked calm and seemed not surprised at all.

Shen Che seemed to be thinking about something.

In other words, the battle of geniuses had not yet begun, but the task he assigned to Chen Tang had already been completed.

This man is indeed much stronger than Feng Xing. If he can marry into the family, help Yu'er, and have another child...

inappropriate.

This person's origin is unknown. We only know that he is from Shenzhou. His origin, teachers, and past are all mysteries. The thought that just came to mind was denied by Shen Che himself.

The guard continued, "The gambling house has raised the odds for Brother Murong to 1 to 4..."

Shen Che and Mingyue Sanren looked at each other and said at the same time: "It's too late!"
-
Beihai Palace.

Military leader Cong Yun Chaichuan was chatting with his grandson Cong Yunjing when they heard hurried footsteps outside and the voices of guards rang out outside the door.

"My Lord, Feng Boyi wishes to see you."

Cong Yun Chaichuan frowned.

The grandfather and grandson were chatting happily when a stranger came over to interrupt them, which inevitably made him feel annoyed.

What's more, he is a person who just defected.

Cong Yunjing stood up, bowed and said, "Grandpa, can I leave first?"

"What's the matter?"

Cong Yun Chaichuan did not let Feng Boyi in, but just asked a question in the room, and at the same time waved his hand, asking Cong Yunjing to sit down.

"Report to the military commander!"

Before the guard could speak, Feng Boyi's voice rang out, as if he was suppressing his anger, "My son Feng Xing was killed by the young master that Shen Che found!"

"Ok?"

Cong Yun Chaichuan was a little surprised. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Come in and talk."

Feng Boyi walked in quickly, with a grim look on his face. He bowed and knelt respectfully before recounting what had happened in Amaterasu Palace.

"Murong Haitang?"

Cong Yun Chaichuan looked at Cong Yunjing.

Cong Yunjing shook his head and said, "My grandson has never heard of this person."

"Please ask the military commander to make the decision for me and Xing'er!"

Feng Boyi kowtowed and said in a sad voice.

Cong Yun Chai Chuan said: "General Feng, I understand your feelings, but since the two of you are fighting a fair duel, you can only bear the consequences yourself."

"Can……"

Feng Boyi gritted his teeth.

It's an understatement, it's not your son who died!
Cong Yun Chaichuan said calmly: "If this person participates in the genius competition, let Jing'er take action and defeat him."

"We have to kill him!"

Feng Boyi clenched his fist and said hatefully.

"Ok?"

Cong Yun Chaichuan's face darkened, his eyes were like swords, and he stared at Feng Boyi coldly.

How the Congyun clan does things is not the place for outsiders to comment!
Feng Boyi's heart trembled, realizing that he had lost his composure and said the wrong thing, and he kowtowed quickly to apologize.

"Go down."

Cong Yun Chaichuan waved his hand.

Feng Boyi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. How could he dare to stay? He bowed and left the room.

Cong Yun Chaichuan groaned in silence for a while, then called a guard and said, "Go investigate the origins of Murong Haitang."

Afterwards, he said to Cong Yunjing, "If what Feng Boyi said is true, Murong Haitang's strength should not be underestimated. If you face him in a genius battle, you don't have to hold back and must go all out!"

"Yes, Grandpa."

Cong Yunjing bowed his head and replied.
-
Moonlit Palace.

Even at noon, the palace was chilly and dimly lit.

An old voice sounded: "Taro, have you heard that Feng Xing was killed by a young master of the Shen family in three moves."

"Grandpa, I just heard about it." The young voice replied.

"During the battle of geniuses, in addition to Cong Yunjing and Amaterasu Chizuru, you must also be wary of this person and not be careless. This person is proficient in boxing and his boxing style is fierce. It is said that his boxing skills have reached the divine level."

The old man said, "My Yue Ye clan is best at swordsmanship. If you encounter him in a genius battle, remember not to fight with him. Just kill him with one sword. There is no need to get entangled with him."

Yueye Taro said: "Grandpa, please rest assured. I will protect the glory of the Yueye clan until my death!"
