“Not bad. You do have some skills, but they are not enough to beat me,” the young man called out to Baili Han.
There was a look in his eyes that reminded Ling Chuxi of a poisonous snake, making her feel uneasy. His insidious gaze was that of a predator looking at prey within its grasp.
“One more time.” Baili Han was not discouraged. He shifted his stance, and once again a strong fighting intent exploded from him.
“Stop!” A regal voice rang out sternly. A general in full body armor came rushing forward, a team of fully armed guards behind him. The crisp sound of hooves echoed in the area.
“It’s the Iron Guards. The Iron Guards!” The surrounding crowd exclaimed and quickly fled in all directions. Those who were too slow were sent flying by the lash of the guards’ whips. Their skin split open from the whips and blood dripped down their bodies.
Ling Chuxi’s gaze turned cold. The guards had at least a cultivation of Battle Qi Level-7, while the general who was leading them had achieved Battle Qi Level-9.
Ling Chuxi had seen the cultivation of the imperial guards in the royal palace of Nan Xia Country before, it was similar to this cultivation level. However, the troop before her was obviously just a type of city defense army. For Ding Lin Country to become the sovereign state of the five big vassal countries, their cultivation had to be that good.
The street that had been crowded with people who wanted to gamble earlier was now deserted. The crowd had completely disappeared, even those who had been whipped until they were dripping blood. Only Ling Chuxi’s group as well as the people of the other party remained, and they were quickly surrounded by the guards.
“Who are you people? How dare you gather and cause trouble at the capital of Ding Lin Country?!” The general glared at them icily. With his cultivation, of course he would not have figured out the cultivation of Ling Chuxi and the rest.
“Commander Fang, I am Zhao Xuanming, an envoy of Wan Chuan Country. I am here to participate in the great assessment competition,” Zhao Xuanming said politely. The arrogance he had displayed earlier was gone, and now he looked courteous and humble.
“So this is the envoy from Wan Chuan Country! You may leave then, don’t make the same mistake next time.” Commander Fang’s expression relaxed. Those who had qualified to participate in the assessment competition definitely did not have weak cultivation, not to mention the rumours that Wan Chuan Country was most likely to emerge champion in this assessment competition. He did not want to cause further trouble.
“Yes, Commander Fang. I shall take my leave first.” Zhao Xuanming gestured at the young man dressed in black and walked back to the carriage. Wan Chuan Country was just a vassal country, so he did not dare be too arrogant in the capital of the sovereign state. What Tier 2 vassal country, what deputy minister at the capital gate? He was nothing before them.
“You will not be so lucky next time.” The young man in black looked at Baili Han challengingly, then turned around and left.
“How about all of you? Who are you?” Commander Fang frowned at Ling Chuxi and the rest. Those who dared fight with Wan Chuan Country were definitely not weak, but which country did these people belong to?
“Commander Fang, these are my contestants from Nan Xia Country for the great assessment competition,” the envoy blurted out quickly as he ran over, panting.
After Ling Chuxi and the rest left the posthouse, the envoy felt increasingly unsettled and went out to search for them after a while. He had been in the carriage, scouring the city for half a day when he happened to come across the crowd, and saw Baili Han retreating.
The envoy’s heart had almost leaped out of his chest. Wan Chuan Country! Ling Chuxi and the rest were just too good at finding trouble. It had not even been a day at the capital and they had already managed to pick a fight with Wan Chuan Country – the very same Wan Chuan Country who was second only to Shang Yuan Country amongst the Five Kingdoms. It was even rumored that Wan Chuan Country would unexpectedly emerge as the champion this time around. Could they, the ‘Number One in Ten Thousand Years’ really afford to provoke them?
