My Wife is A Sword God
Chapter 418: Settling the score with one move

A person’s name is like the shadow of a tree.

In the Southern Domain, three divine generals are all as famous as their Commander in the Great Qian.

Mad Blade Zhen Tianyi, Spear Immortal Sima Kong, and Wind Ghost Bai Wuyou.

It is rumoured that Zhen Tianyi has reached the pinnacle of the blade path, once decapitating a Seven Calamity Cycle Demon with unparalleled fighting power.

When they heard that Zhen Tianyi would be representing the Southern Domain this time, the hearts of the princes from the other three domains sank.

The outcome of the martial arts competition would determine the allocation of resources for the Demon Slaying Division in the Four Domains for the coming year. 

In the past, the Southern Domain, which lacked a divine general, had received the least resources.

This time, however, the outcome could be very different.

As princes of their respective domains, they naturally hoped that the Demon Slaying Department in their own domain would receive the most resources.

“I have heard of Zhen Tianyi’s reputation; his strength is formidable.” 

“The master who taught him the way of the blade gave him the nickname Mad Blade. He even competed with the former Commander of the Northern Domain, Northern Ghost, for the position of Commander, but unfortunately he was one move short.”  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the NøvᴇlFirᴇ(.)nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

“His whereabouts have since become unknown. According to the rumours in the Demon Slaying Department, it’s only a matter of time before he confronts the Northern Ghost and seize the position of Commander in the Eastern and Western Domains.”

The Prince of the Northern Domain replied, “There has indeed been such an incident. After the previous Commander, Northern Ghost Head, inexplicably disappeared, I also sent people to search for Mad Blade’s whereabouts, hoping that he would succeed as the Commander. However, after searching for a long time, there was no progress.”

“I have heard some unfavorable rumors, saying that Mad Blade fell into the demonic path, but the truth is unknown.” 

“Anyway, at this time, let’s not discuss these dampening words. The battle between the Divine Generals is about to begin.” said the emperor, looking up at the sky.

The contest between the Thirty-six Stars has been settled. The Southern Territory Yu Mei came out on top with a complete victory. The other two Southern Territory Thirty-Six Stars also won more than they lost.

At the third-floor in Moonlit Pavilion, dignitaries who knew each other began to talk, “Every time there is an martial arts competition, the thirty-six stars of the Southern Domain are always impressive.”

“The Southern Domain constantly faces demonic troubles, and these thirty-six stars engage in battles with demons all year-round, enhancing their strength. However, no matter how powerful the Southern Domain’s thirty-six stars are, what matters in this competition is the strength of the Divine Generals from each domain.”

“In previous years, the three Divine Generals from the Southern Domain were often unable to attend the competition due to various reasons.”

The speaker shook his head with some regret. 

At this moment, another person exclaimed, “Wait, look at the Martial Arena. Why are there four people standing? Could that red-haired, long-bladed man be the Divine General Zhen Tianyi from the Southern Domain?”

“This time, a Divine General has come from the Southern Domain?” exclaimed the dignitaries.

The second brother looked at the Martial Arena with an excited expression, “Big brother, look, all the Divine Generals have appeared.”

On the side, Qin Feng nodded slightly, then turned to ask Luo Yu, “In your opinion, which Domain Divine General has the greatest chance of winning this competition?”

Luo Yu, the son of the Southern Domain’s Prince Luo, naturally knew more than ordinary people. 

He confidently spoke, “In the Northern Domain, the newly appointed Divine General Kong Qiu has extraordinary talent in the Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage. Some even compare him to the former Commander, Lord Deng Mo. However, he is too young and lacks experience, making his combat experience a weakness.”

“In the Eastern Domain, the Martial God Ning Zhan has already cultivated the highest realm of the indestructible Vajra Body, complemented by his unique skill, the Condensed Fist. He can break the mountains and sever seas in just one thought.” 

“Last year, he achieved first place. However, this time, the two Divine Generals from the Western and Southern Domains happen to counter him.”

“A martial artist who masters the Dao of Weapons has a natural advantage over those who only know martial arts.”

“Moreover, the two Divine Generals from the Southern and Western regions are experts in the Dao of Weapons.”

This analysis was quite convincing, attracting the attention of the onlookers on the third level.

“Mad Blade Zhen Tianyi from the Southern Region, Brother Qin’s was previously in the Southern Region, so you must have known about him. Let me tell you about the Divine General from the Western Region—Master of Blade and Sword, Gong Cang.”

“It is well-known that for an ordinary martial artist to master a Dao of Weapons, it takes a lifetime to reach the highest realm, the Realm of Myriad Gods.”

“But Divine General Gong’s talent in the martial weapon Dao is unparalleled. He simultaneously studies the ways of the blade and the sword, both reaching the Fourth Realm of Concealed Weapon, only a step away from the Realm of Myriad Gods.”

“Add to that his self-created masterpiece, a fusion of blade and sword techniques, sweeping away everything; it is indeed a major highlight of this competition.”

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, you think this time is about who is more skilled between Master Zhen and Master Gong?”

Luo Yu shook his head, not giving a direct answer but smiling, “The actual situation in a fight is ever-changing, even if I analyze it this way. When they start, no one knows how it will turn out. Maybe the youngest god among them, Lord Kong from the Northern Region, will unexpectedly take the lead.”

“Let’s just sit here, eat and drink, and quietly wait for the results.”

As expected of a prince, no one can be offended by his words. Qin Feng curled his lips and looked up at the suspended martial platform.

The clashes between the Divine Generals were far more intense than before. Therefore, before the competition, Chief Deng Mo and the white-faced officials from the Prison Division reinforced the barrier around the martial platform.

Otherwise, even if the four Divine Generals didn’t go all out, the aftermath of the battle would still sweep through Imperial City like a disaster.

After everything was ready, Lord Deng Mo announced the start of the final competition.

The method of the competition still involved drawing lots to determine the matchups, with pairs competing against each other.

Unexpectedly, none of the four Divine Generals left the martial platform.

Onlookers were puzzled, “What’s going on? Has the rule of the competition changed? Are all the four Divine Generals going to fight on the martial platform?”

In the middle of the Moonlit Pavilion, Qin Feng and his group were also puzzled.

“Brother Luo, do you know what’s going on now?”

Luo Yu shook his head, “I’ve witnessed many competitions, but this is the first time I’ve seen a situation like this.”

At this moment, the silent Liu Jianli’s fair earlobes moved slightly, and then she softly said, “They want to determine the outcome with a single move.”

“A single move to decide the outcome?” Qin Feng exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu, after a moment of contemplation, realized, “I understand. When the strength reaches the level of a Divine General, if they don’t fight to death with all their strength, it might take a long time to determine the winner.” 

“In previous battles among Divine Generals, it has always been like this. Perhaps this time, the four Divine Generals have reached a consensus and want to decide the final winner with a single move.”

And indeed, that was the case!

On the suspended martial stage, Kong Qiu smirked, “All three of you are Divine Warriors. I alone inherit the lineage of a Hundred Ghosts Dao Lineage. Is it a bit unfair for me to determine the outcome with a single move?”

The Martial God Ning Zhan coldly spoke, “If you’re afraid, you can withdraw in advance.”

“Afraid?” Kong Qiu frowned slightly, and a gloomy aura gathered around him, “I am not afraid. In that case, I would like to experience the techniques of you seniors.”
