My Wife is A Sword God
Chapter 417: The Battle Begins

“Uh.” Qin Feng twitched the corner of his mouth, and he didn’t need to turn around to guess who the newcomer was.

After all, in this world, only one person would add the words “amazing and stunning” before their title – Luo Yu, whom Qin Feng had encountered in the Hundred Flowers Valley!

He turned around and saw that it was indeed him.

Liu Jianli and Lan Ningshuang glanced to the side and saw a young man in azure robes with a warm smile.

They didn’t go to the Hundred Flowers Valley at that time, so they didn’t recognise Luo Yu.

But of course, Black Charcoal Head remembered him. At that time, he even had a competition with the other’s servant.

“Brother Luo, how come you’re here?” Qin Feng asked curiously.

“A great event like the Four Realms Demon Slaying Competition is rare. Of course, I want to find a place with good wine and meat to join in the fun.” Luo Yu replied with a smile.

He turned his head to see Liu Jianli and couldn’t help but admire her, “Clouds yearn for elegant attire, flowers long for a beautiful countenance, Spring breezes brush the doorstep, dewdrops enhance the richness.This poem is truly worthy of her.” 

“Only the amazing and breathtaking Brother Qin can describe the appearance of the proud Liu Jianli in such a delicate and elegant manner.”

Qin Feng’s expression stiffened, “That’s enough, I had no choice back then. It wasn’t my sincere intention to deceive you.”

Luo Yu pretended to be confused, “Brother Qin, what do you mean by that? My admiration for you is sincere and heartfelt!”

“If you continue like this, we can only hurt each other. Don’t think that I don’t know your true identity.” Qin Feng gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice.

Luo Yu pulled away and didn’t take it seriously, “Luo behaves honourably and sits upright. If the amazing and talented Brother Qin has anything to say, just say it in front of everyone.”

‘Fine, you brought this on yourself.’ Qin Feng exhaled and began to describe the appearance of a carriage.

While the others didn’t understand Qin Feng’s intention behind these words, Xiao Bai and Luo Yu’s expressions changed.

“Young master, the carriage he mentioned, isn’t it the one you…” 

Before Xiao Bai could finish his sentence, Luo Yu interrupted, then put his arm around Qin Feng’s shoulder and smiled, “Brother Qin, why bother? It was just a joke between us. Wait for me to punish myself with three cups and apologise to you.”

Seeing this reaction, Qin Feng confirmed that the person sitting in the luxurious carriage in the Southern Domain Prince Luo’s procession on the eve of the New Year was this person!

And the rumour that Prince Luo had a son about the same age as Luo Yu made Luo Yu’s identity a foregone conclusion.

‘When I first heard this person speak elegantly, I felt that he was no ordinary person. I didn’t expect him to be the prince’s son. He must have come to the Imperial City with Prince Luo this time.’ Qin Feng thought.

Luo Yu and Qin Feng and others sat down at the same table, and as agreed, Luo Yu punished himself with three cups.

Then they chatted and waited for the martial arts competition to begin.

As brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, several figures appeared on the suspended martial Stage.

Looking up, Qin Feng saw that Chief Deng Mo, the head of the Demon Slaying Department in Imperial City, was standing in the middle.

This martial arts competition should be presided over by him.

The thirty-six stars from the four regions have already taken their positions on the suspended stage. Of course, the four Divine Generals from the four regions were the most eye-catching.

However, Luo Yu’s attention is not focused on these people, but on the fireworks, and he sighed: “During the New Ceremony celebration last night, I was amazed to see these fireworks. If my guess is correct, these fireworks must be the result of the latest improvements to the gunpowder that is famous in the army and the Demon Slaying Department.”

“This gunpowder is really something good, powerful and requires little effort from the user. I wonder how many soldiers and demon slayers it has saved in times of Demon and Ghost Disaster.”

“The elder of Divine Workshop’s reputation is well-deserved.” Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴovᴇlꜰirᴇ.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

In his opinion, Yuan Zhai is the only person who can make gunpowder. Everyone who knows about gunpowder feels the same way.

At that moment, Lan Ningshuang spoke, “Young Master is wrong. It’s not only the fireworks in the sky, but also the gunpowder that benefited the army and the Demon Slaying Department, all of which are the masterpieces of our young master.”

As she said this, her fair chin lifted with pride, and Black Charcoal Head beside her nodded.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu’s expression showed a slight surprise. 

After a moment, he sighed, “In addition to poetry, floral art, and medical skills, I didn’t expect Brother Qin to be proficient in these strange and clever techniques. Truly amazing.”

Qin Feng’s face stiffened. He had just punished himself with three cups, and now his true colours were being revealed so quickly. Has this become a habit?

He was about to say something when Chief Deng Mo shouted from the direction of the battlefield, and the battle between the representatives of the Demon Slaying Department officially began.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to the battlefield. The first to move were the thirty-six stars from the four regions, each paired with an opponent drawn by lot.

Those who could become thirty-six stars among the Demon Slayers were all outstanding among the Red Lotus Demon Slayers, and their strength was naturally remarkable.

Even though they were only tapping each other without going all out, the fluctuations caused by their battles still shook the Imperial City, creating a fierce wind that swept around.

On the battlefield, various phenomena manifested endlessly. The aura of the swords and knives crossed, the yin and yang energy collided, and the space trembled.

And this was just the thirty-six stars making their move!

The people in the Imperial City watching the battle forgot about the fear and anxiety of the previous night when the demons invaded. 

They just felt that with these people in the Great Qian, the rampaging demons were nothing to worry about!

This is also the reason why the Emperor decided to hold the martial arts competition at this time.

On the other side, in the Imperial City Palace, the Emperor and the four princes were naturally also watching the battle.

The Suspended Martial Platform is right above the Imperial City, and no one can better witness the strength of the Demon Slayers from the Four Realms of the Great Qian better than them.

If it weren’t for the people from the Prison Division guarding the Imperial Palace and neutralising the residual shockwaves from these battles, the Imperial Palace would probably be in ruins in a moment.

The Emperor watched the duels on the Suspended Martial Paltform with great pleasure, “This time, each of the Four Realms sent three Thirty-Six Stars and one Divine General.” 

“The Thirty-Six Stars alone have such power, so how formidable would the Divine General be? What do you think, which realm can win in this martial arts competition?”

The Emperor asked the four princes.

“Just by observing the duels between the thirty-six stars, it can be said that they are evenly matched. Even if there is a difference, it won’t be too significant.” 

“However, the Southern Empire has always been plagued by demons, so their overall strength is slightly stronger than the other three empires.”

“Let’s not forget, among the thirty-six stars, Yu Mei from the Southern Realm is definitely in the top three. She has fought three times and has never been defeated.”

The princes spoke truthfully.

The Emperor nodded thoughtfully, “However, the outcome of this martial arts competition will ultimately depend on the strength of the Divine Generals.” 

“In the past, the Divine Generals from the Southern Empire have always failed to make it to the Imperial City because they were too busy to participate in the competition. I wonder if they have sent someone this time?”

Zhen Tianyi was not accompanying Prince Luo of the Southern Territory. In addition, Emperor Ming didn’t have time to pay too much attention to the Ninefold Prisons, so he didn’t know about it.

Prince Luo of the Southern Empire replied, “This time from the Southern Region, Mad Blade Zhen Tianyi is in charge.”

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the princes from the other three realms changed.
