Chapter 52: The Knife

"Let's do it!"

Guan Yu said coldly, but Qin Jun could clearly see that his red face was somewhat unpleasant, obviously he was already angry.

Qin Jun couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Beilong. It's terrifying to provoke a stronger opponent, let alone when the opponent is Guan Yu.

This is the Martial Saint, the Emperor of the Heavenly Court!

"Seeking death!"

Xiao Beilong roared two words that almost made Qin Jun kneel, then rushed towards Guan Yu. Everyone in the audience held their breath, even Zhu Yishi from the Canglan Kingdom.

If they lost, Zhu Yishi didn't know how to explain it when he returned.

Although Xiao Beilong's speed was fast, it wasn't so fast that the people couldn't see clearly. But his momentum was stronger than before, like a tank rushing towards Guan Yu.

The huge black hammer tore through the air and directly smashed towards Guan Yu's head.

Surprisingly, Qin Jun and the black-robed person next to him didn't dodge, they still stood beside Guan Yu.

"This kid's courage has indeed grown!" Emperor Qian muttered to himself. Qin Jun's appearance was the most similar to his, and now this composure made him very satisfied. The more he looked, the more he resembled himself.

It had to be said that the Emperor Qian and Qin Jun's most similar point was their shamelessness.

Facing the unstoppable Xiao Beilong, Guan Yu's eyes narrowed, and he raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade with one hand and slashed upwards. In an instant, a strong light burst forth, causing everyone, including Xiao Beilong, to involuntarily close their eyes.

This slash was extremely brilliant!

This slash was majestic!

This slash shook the heavens!

With a thud, everyone was shocked to open their eyes. Qin Jun, who was standing behind Guan Yu, happened to see Guan Yu standing proudly with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, blood splattering in the air. Upon closer inspection, Xiao Beilong's head was no longer there!

Bang—thud thud—

Xiao Beilong's head fell to the ground, rolling more than ten times before coming to a stop, leaving everyone in the audience with their mouths wide open.

Silence!

At this moment, one could even hear the sound of a pin dropping.

Emperor Qian couldn't help but stand up, his usual calm demeanor replaced by astonishment as he stared at the majestic figure of Guan Yu.

Even Nang Meng, who had just been helped onto the pavilion, was dumbfounded.

Xiao Beilong, who was on par with him, was defeated in an instant?

The eerie silence was not broken by anyone, as if the whole world had lost its voice.

"How... is this possible..."

Zhu Yishi seemed to be in a daze, trembling all over. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Qin Yu's mouth was now big enough to fit an egg.

He had speculated that Guan Yu might defeat Xiao Beilong, but he never expected it to be a one-strike kill!

Xiao Beilong was a strong transcendent realm expert, standing at the peak of the kingdom!

Thinking back to Guan Yu's earlier mention of three moves, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of shock. It turned out that he wasn't boasting, but rather holding back!

"Wow! Amazing! Second Master is mighty!"

Qin Jun exclaimed, instantly breaking the silence in the entire venue.

Boom!

The whole place erupted!

"Incredible! He actually defeated Xiao Beilong in one strike!"

"Who is he, his strength is too terrifying, isn't it?"

"My goodness! Am I dreaming?"

"That's Xiao Beilong... the Grand General of the Canglan Kingdom!"

"Did we win?"

The common people and cultivators were excited, unable to contain their joy. Everyone was cheering.

Guan Yu, who was the center of attention, slowly sheathed his blade, and his left hand naturally reached for his long beard. His nonchalant demeanor made it seem as if he had just defeated a cat or a dog, rather than Xiao Beilong.

Emperor Qian, trying to contain his excitement, sat back down, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Zhu Yishi and the other envoys of the Canglan Kingdom were speechless, how could Xiao Beilong be defeated in one strike?

Even Song Lang and Zhen Hun fell silent. They knew they were no match for Xiao Beilong in a one-on-one fight. Now that Xiao Beilong had been defeated in one strike, if they were to go up, they would probably meet the same fate.

"Shen Gonggong, what are you waiting for?"

Qin Jun shouted to Shen Yan at the edge of the Vermilion Bird Terrace, pulling him back from his shock.

"Now I announce that in the two-country duel, the Kingdom of Qianyue has won two victories. According to the rules of best of three, the Kingdom of Qianyue has won this two-country duel!"

Shen Yan declared passionately, although he had a rooster's voice, his words made all the common people and cultivators feel relieved.

In the previous two-country duel, the Kingdom of Qianyue had lost face, not winning a single match!

This time, they finally turned the tables!

Emperor Qian turned to Zhu Yishi and smiled, "I didn't expect the Grand General of your kingdom to be so weak. It seems that the Canglan Kingdom is not as great as it used to be."

Finally, he could hold his head high!

Emperor Qian was smiling so much that his face almost bloomed like a chrysanthemum, while Zhu Yishi, although angry, could only force a smile. His body was trembling.

Xiao Beilong was the war god of the Canglan Kingdom, and he was defeated in one strike in the two-country duel. If this news spread to the Canglan Kingdom, it would definitely cause a huge uproar, even stirring up unrest among the people.

He didn't know how to face his father, the king.

What was originally a good opportunity turned into a nightmare. Zhu Yishi was full of despair.

"Furthermore, everyone knows that I was framed and exiled to the border by traitors."

Qin Jun suddenly spoke out, causing the cheers in the venue to quiet down. The common people looked at each other. Framed and exiled?

If it were in the past, the common people would definitely not believe it, but now, with Qin Jun leading the charge to turn the tide, they were willing to believe it.

As a prince, living a luxurious life, why would he covet wealth?

"I won't say who the traitor is, but this time I have returned with achievements!"

Qin Jun said proudly, mentioning traitors left and right, causing Qin Yu's face to turn ashen.

He had indeed turned the tide in the two-country duel, which was indeed an achievement.

The people all expressed their approval, saying that compared to this matter, embezzling the national treasury was nothing.

After all, the people couldn't use the money in the national treasury anyway.

However, at this moment, Lord Qin took out a human head from his storage ring, and it was none other than the head of Xiahou En.

"That is..."

The Emperor Qian was moved. He hated Xiahou En to the core, so he could recognize him at a glance, not only because Xiahou En had an affair with his concubine, but also because Xiahou En had long incited wars, causing the court to grit its teeth in anger.

"This head belongs to the traitor Xiahou En!"

Lord Qin raised Xiahou En's head high and shouted, causing an uproar in the entire hall.

Xiahou En's infamy was well known throughout the Kingdom of Qianyue, and even General Guan Yu had failed to capture him several times.

It was unexpected that he had been killed by the third prince!

Guan Yu smiled and stroked his beard. He understood that Lord Qin was about to turn the tables, and he was filled with pride because he had helped Lord Qin gain the current power and influence.

But even without him, Lord Qin could rely on Daji.

After speaking, Lord Qin remained silent and looked at the loft with a smile on his face, or more precisely, at his adoptive father.

The two father and son locked eyes, and everyone fell silent.

Even Zhu Yishi looked at Lord Qin with confusion. He had no impression of Lord Qin before, only knowing that the most influential prince in the Kingdom of Qianyue was the fifth prince, Qin Yu.

Now it seemed that the third prince was the real tough one!

"I declare that the third prince, Lord Qin, has killed the traitor Xiahou En, made amends for his past mistakes, and restored his status as a prince. Furthermore!" Emperor Qian looked at Lord Qin for five seconds before smiling. The last two words of his statement made everyone's breath quicken.
