Seeing that Prince Jing'an made no move, Yu Tian slowly condensed a sword aura between his two right fingers, and murmured coldly.

"Nine!"

As the second sound rang out, the sword energy in Yu Tian's right hand formed a long sword, surrounded by sword energy and filled with killing intent.

"Eight!"

As the rain began to fall, Prince Jing'an immediately ordered all his troops to retreat.

The warships roared, and the oppressive feeling of the dark clouds looming over the city vanished instantly.

All eyes turned to Yu Tian, ​​who had single-handedly driven away an army of 100,000. This one feat alone would probably be enough for Yu Tian to boast about for a lifetime.

"Sir, your voice is far superior to my sword. I finally understand what it means to be able to hold off ten thousand men."

Jian Jiuhuang said to Yu Tian with admiration.

"When will I be able to reach the level of Yu Tian? Alone with a sword, I stand proudly in the world. Even if I encounter a hundred thousand naval troops, they will all retreat within ten breaths."

Shu Xiu said, her eyes sparkling with desire.

At this moment, Xu Fengnian's palms were bleeding from being squeezed so hard that his fingernails dug into his flesh, yet he did not feel the slightest pain.

At this moment, he looked out at the rainy sky, jealousy and hatred tormenting his heart. But the fear that arose within him forced him to hide his emotions.

"Hmph, aren't you arrogant? Your father's 100,000-strong navy didn't even dare to charge your ships. You came in all high and mighty, but you went back like stray dogs. This is your Qingzhou, truly a bunch of trash."

Xu Fengnian vented all his anger on Zhao Xun.

At this moment, Zhao Xun was also very frustrated. He had led a thousand naval troops to give Xu Fengnian a hard time, but he did not expect that Jian Jiuhuang, who had long disappeared from the martial arts world, was actually his bodyguard.

This led to his capture, the deaths of all his men, and the destruction of his warship.

The king led 100,000 naval troops to rescue him, but they were driven back by a shout from someone named Yutian.

It's really shameful to be 89, 6, or 60.

But seeing the murderous aura emanating from the longsword formed from sword energy in Yu Tian's hand today made Zhao Xun feel his soul tremble.

The killing intent contained in that sword was definitely not something that could be cultivated from killing just one or two people; I had even seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood on it just now.

"Since you've already promised Prince Jing'an to return Zhao Xun to him unharmed, don't try anything funny."

Seeing Xu Fengnian's eagerness to beat Zhao Xun, Yu Tian spoke up to remind him.

Xu Fengnian was about to retort, but faced with the imposing atmosphere of the rain, he had no choice but to back down and nod. Then he returned to his cabin.

Just then, a gyrfalcon flew towards Yu Tian.

On a rainy day, after taking a piece of paper from the gyrfalcon's leg, we released it into the air.

"Let's talk on the boat."

These four simple words conveyed the message that Prince Jing'an wanted to maintain friendly relations.

On a rainy day, he gathered a sword aura in his right hand, and the note instantly turned into ashes.

Then, with a flash, he headed towards the 100,000-strong navy that had just left. Before leaving, he grabbed Zhao Xun's shoulder and took him with him.

Looking in the direction Yu Tian had left, Xu Fengnian's eyes were filled with boundless rage.

Chapter 137: Battle Against Deng Tai'a in the Rain

On a rainy day, Zhao Xun was carelessly left on the deck of a Qingzhou navy warship.

Upon hearing the commotion outside the warship, Prince Jing'an rushed out immediately.

Upon seeing the rain-soaked sky suspended in the air, Prince Jing'an immediately bowed respectfully.

"The Sword Immortal in the Rain".

Upon hearing the greeting from Prince Jing'an, Yu Tian nodded and then followed Prince Jing'an to the inner cabin of the warship to discuss what he called an important matter.

"I wonder what level of cultivation the Rain Sword Immortal has reached now?"

Prince Jing'an asked.

Yu Tian was already prepared for the Prince of Jing'an's question.

"One man, one sword, and I wiped out your 100,000 Qingzhou naval troops. Is this level of skill sufficient?"

He said with amusement on a rainy day.

Upon hearing Yu Tian's blunt and defiant remarks, Prince Jing'an could only manage an awkward smile.

"Immortal Swordsman's words have frightened me a bit. May I ask what brings you to Qingzhou, Immortal Swordsman? If you need any assistance, please let me know."

Prince Jing'an adopted an extremely humble attitude, so humble that even Yu Tian felt something was wrong. After all, he was one of the princes with real power in the Li Yang Dynasty, and his identity was that of the current Li Yang Emperor's younger brother.

Logically speaking, someone of such high status shouldn't be treated with such humility.

"Prince Jing'an, your attitude is so humble, is there something you need from me?"

He asked coldly on a rainy day.

"As expected of the Sword Immortal, you can tell at a glance that I have something to ask of you."

Prince Jing'an chuckled.

"Actually, it's nothing serious. There's no conflict of interest for Senior Sword Immortal."

"I desire the throne of the emperor; please grant me your assistance, Sword Immortal Senior."

Prince Jing'an said sincerely.

"The supreme ruler? I remember that the current emperor of Liyang is still in his prime, while your elder brother is at the height of his power. You, as his younger brother, are already eyeing the position beneath him."

"How interesting. But I'm sorry, I've already promised someone that I'll help her ascend to the throne."

"Therefore, I cannot help you with your request, Your Highness."

He said coldly in the rain.

Upon hearing Yu Tian's unwavering refusal, Prince Jing'an's face darkened instantly. He stared intently at Yu Tian, ​​but quickly concealed the hint of ruthlessness within him.

But how could these expressions hide from Yu Tian's eyes?

“Prince Jing’an, I see in your eyes that you want to kill me.”

As Yu Tian finished speaking, he exuded a chilling aura, and the Prince of Jing'an, who was surrounded by this aura, seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, as well as the most yin and dark places in the underworld.

Once a person falls in, it seems they are trapped inside, unable to escape.

"You flatter me, Sword Immortal Senior. I am but a mortal. How dare I challenge an immortal?"

Prince Jing'an said with a smirk.

"Prince Jing'an, how about we make a bet?"

After thinking it over carefully, Yu Tian looked at Prince Jing'an and said.

"What kind of bet?"

Prince Jing'an asked in confusion.

Seeing that he had piqued Prince Jing'an's curiosity, Yu Tian continued speaking.

"I am going to Martial Emperor City to challenge Wang Xianzhi. If I fail to defeat him with one sword, I will support you to ascend the throne and become emperor. During this time, you can command me at will."

"But if I defeat Wang Xianzhi with a single sword strike, then you will unconditionally cooperate with me in doing anything I ask you to do."

"Do you dare to bet?"

Rainy Day said casually.

The bet with Prince Jing'an came to me the moment I saw him on a rainy day.

Zhao Fengya is, after all, a member of the Zhao family of the Liyang royal family. If she had the support of a powerful member of the royal family, the obstacles to her ascension to the throne would be greatly reduced.

For Yu Tian, ​​although he could support Zhao Fengya to inherit the throne regardless of whether Prince Jing'an was willing to make this bet with him, with Prince Jing'an's help, Yu Tian could save a lot of unnecessary killing.

After all, no one likes to kill; it's something that's done out of necessity.

"Defeated Wang Xianzhi, the second-best swordsman in the world, with a single sword strike?"

After hearing the bet made on the rainy day, Prince Jing'an wondered if he had misheard. This person in front of him actually claimed to defeat Wang Xianzhi with a single sword strike, and that Wang Xianzhi had been invincible for over sixty years!

"of course."

Rainy Day said firmly.

"Very well, since Senior Sword Immortal dares to make a bet with me, how could I possibly spoil your fun? I accept the bet."

Prince Jing'an looked on with excitement, his eyes probing as he gazed at Yu Tian, ​​asking if Yu Tian had deliberately set up this bet to serve him.

Ignoring the gaze of Prince Jing'an, Yu Tian slipped away from the cabin of Prince Jing'an's warship.

When they returned to the ship, Jian Jiuhuang was already waiting on the deck.

"Sir, is everything going well?"

Jian Jiuhuang asked from the bottom of his heart.

"Everything went smoothly. I have reached an agreement with Prince Jing'an. There will be no obstacles in our trip to Qingzhou."

Rainy Day said casually.

Shu Xiu, who was enjoying the river breeze on the deck, narrowed her eyes into crescents when she heard Yu Tian's words.
