Chapter 664: Chapter 436 Mr. Chen’s Mont of Glory! (Must Read)_3
He spat out fresh blood from his mouth and fell from the void.
If no one had caught him, he would have been gravely injured for sure.
General Yu, who fell from the void, still had a look of terror on his face, as if he had encountered so great horror.
The crowd was silent, the faces of the celebrating commoners and martial artists sowhat embarrassed.
From the ti General Yu entered until he ca out, it was only a re thirty breaths of ti.
And then… he was defeated just like that.
Although Jingtai’s face still maintained its composure, a hint of solemnity flickered in his eyes.
After a mont of silence, a greater noise erupted.
A man stepped out into the air and declared:
“Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s North City Commander Wang Qi, here to challenge today!”
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Wang Qi also stepped into the Suru Illusion Realm. However, like General Yu, after ascending a few dozen steps,
his face suddenly twisted into a fierce expression, and then he thunderously fell from the illusion realm.
“Heavenly Patrol Bureau’s West City Commander Sun Sheng, here to challenge!”
Another figure revealed his true body and calmly entered the Suru Illusion Realm.
His situation was different from the previous two; his face seed to show a mont of realization, and right in front of everyone, he slowly sat down cross-legged and chanted a Buddhist hymn aloud.
Jingtai’s gaze suddenly turned towards Pu Xian Bodhisattva, his look grim.
He understood that the Buddhist sect was also involved this ti.
Sun Sheng was defeated.
“Imperial Supervision Bureau’s North Imperial City Departnt Commander Wang Chengen, here to challenge.”
This was one of Cao Zhengxian’s capable subordinates from the Imperial Factory, gifted, though a bit older, having crossed the age of thirty-five,
but now, no one seed to care about that anymore.
All eyes were now focused on this eunuch dressed in dark robes.
He walked the farthest on the steps within the Suru Illusion Realm, surpassing the others, apparently lacking sothing that left his mind free of distractions.
But just as people placed their hopes in him, Wang Chengen’s face suddenly showed a sly smile, and then, as if he were struck by a heavy blow, he was expelled by the illusion realm.
Four battles, four defeats.
At this mont, the faces of the Capital’s citizens, who had previously been dismissive, now bore so humiliation, no longer showing their earlier scorn and disdain; this was undoubtedly a great disgrace!
So even regretted coming to this place, unwilling to witness Central Plains martial artists being defeated and shattered before the Japanese.
“If the court’s minions are incompetent, then we, the martial artists of Jianghu, will take up the fight.”
A low shout rang out, a young swordsman dressed in green ca forward, and just before entering the Suru Illusion Realm, he suddenly declared aloud:
“Shushan disciple Xu Jing, here to break through the barrier!”
His age had already reached over forty, and his cultivation was only at Void Core, but seeing the previous participants fail miserably, his expression was very irked.
Unfortunately, Xu Jing’s outco was not much better.
The steps he managed to tread were no different from the ones before him, his face revealing a look of terror, his spirit damaged, falling from the void.
“Beiliang’s Xu Longxiang, here to challenge!”
“East Sea’s Mo Dahai, here to challenge!”
“Changshan’s Zhao Zifeng, here to challenge!”
“Lingling’s Xing Daorong, here to challenge!”
“Goddess Palace Elder Bai Yuwei…..”
“Seven Mysterious Sect…..”
Voice after voice rose and fell, unceasingly resounding through the void, other than the previous court officials, nearby gathering Jianghu martial artists also rushed one by one towards the Suru Illusion Realm.
Even the Realm was no longer limited to the Core Realm; even Reach Profound Martial Artists had gone there.
However, those Reach Profound Martial Artists who had not experienced the life-and-death ordeal of the inner demons would be expelled from the Suru Illusion Realm in less than ten breaths’ ti.
It’s just a pity that no matter how many Martial Artists surged forth, without exception, none could successfully pass the challenge; it was rely a matter of how long they could last inside.
The highest climber was none other than that Beiliang Martial Artist nad Xu Longxiang, but alas, he too was expelled from the Suru Illusion Realm near the mountainside, unable to withstand the terror within.
The expressions of the people below beca increasingly uncomfortable, as a pessimistic atmosphere began to flow.
It seed that they felt no one present could overco this challenge today, and if that were the case, the Central Plains Martial Artists would utterly lose face, and their previous arrogant and contemptuous behavior would render them utterly embarrassed.
Of course, the one most embarrassed was the court itself.
The faces of civil and military officials, along with those of the concubines, were very uncomfortable.
They had co to enjoy the spectacle but ended up losing face.
This was happening under the watchful eyes of the public—the dignity of the court was completely lost!
Jingtai’s gaze grew increasingly gloomy, an aura of ‘keep away from strangers’ surrounding him, causing Sima Ke beside him to be utterly shocked, knowing that they had screwed up big ti this ti.
He now just hoped that Ito Ikeda would keep his word and succeed in the challenge, otherwise…
The consequences really were unthinkable.
He also regretted having rashly allied with these Japan Martial Artists in anger—he would never have imagined that these Japan Martial Artists would embarrass the court so.
In stark contrast, Ito Shinsei in the void wore a light smile, looking as if he was holding the winning ticket.
Central Plains Martial Artists fell like dumplings, and Jingtai’s expression grew even more uncomfortable.
Taking a deep breath, Sima Ke steeled himself and said,
“Father, it seems that today the only way to break through is to trust Chen Yuan, the Green Envoy.”
At this juncture, he couldn’t afford to fail completely; he had to lead Chen Yuan into the Suru Illusion Realm, otherwise facing his father’s wrath would be a too great a loss.
He couldn’t believe that these Japan Martial Artists would dare disrespect the court, or did they not wish to leave Central Plains peacefully anymore?
Hearing Sima Ke’s words, Jingtai snorted softly, extrely dissatisfied with this son who even colluded with Japan Martial Artists—it was downright betrayal.
His irritable expression also made Noble Consort Yang nearby distressed; looking worriedly at Sima Ke, she spoke,
“Your Majesty, Ke’er speaks reasonably; we should let Chen Yuan have a try now. Isn’t he acclaid as the greatest talent of Central Plains in a century? Having defeated all the heroes to reach the top and renowned throughout the lands, surely he will not disappoint Your Majesty.”
Jingtai pondered for a mont, then nodded and said softly to Cao Zhengxian,
“Summon Chen Yuan forth!”
“Yes, I obey, my lord.”
Cao Zhengxian glanced at Chen Yuan, who was talking with a court official, watched for a mont, today either Chen Yuan would re-establish his reputation and be regarded more highly by His Majesty.
Or it could be the mont of a hero’s fall to the depths…
“Chen Yuan taking on the challenge can certainly relieve Your Majesty’s worry,” Noble Consort Yang continued to praise.
Of course, she herself did not hope for Chen Yuan’s success, nor did she think he could succeed; it was rely to heighten the Emperor’s expectations of him.
If he failed, naturally…
She and her son both planned to use this opportunity to undermine Chen Yuan.
This, of course, was sothing Jingtai was well aware of; he asked indifferently,
“I heard that Chen Yuan was insolent to you at Chunhua Palace before?”
Noble Consort Yang’s face montarily froze.
