Chapter 657: Chapter 298: The Death of King Chu_3

Under the fearless spirit, he gripped the precious sword in his hand and wanted to charge forward, killing his opponent directly and adding another achievement to his record.

“Your Highness, don’t!”

But while young people are impulsive, the elders are much more stable.

Seeing that Zhao Changqing wanted to join the battle, the old general Hua Kaiyun who accompanied him hurriedly stepped forward, holding him back, “King of Chu, Lu Yuan, is famous throughout the world, recognized as a strong warrior among all countries.

Although Your Highness has broken through Innate, it has only been over two or three years. Suddenly facing such a veteran powerhouse in the Innate realm, it would be too much of a disadvantage.

At present, our army far outnumbers the opponents, so there is no need to compete for bravery with them.

Your Highness, with your precious body, just sit in the army and drive the soldiers to kill the enemy.

Entering the battlefield personally would only cause you to lose your position.”

Athough Zhao Changqing has personally entered the battlefield several times before, causing heavy damage to the enemy and has a great reputation.

But when he went into the battlefield previously, he relied on the power of the Innate, simply bullying ordinary soldiers below the Innate realm.

Now, the opponent is a well-known powerhouse, the King of Chu, Lu Yuan.

Even if Hua Kaiyun is extremely confident in his own prince, he doesn’t have the arrogance to think that His Highness can defeat the opponent.

“Let go!”

But in the face of his advice, the passionate Zhao Changqing simply ignored it. He mobilized his True pneuma, pushed the other aside, and said, “The enemy is at our doorstep. If I avoid the battle, how would the generals and soldiers see me?

They would certainly think that I’m a coward, fearing the King of Chu.

The general is the backbone of the army. If I retreat, the soldiers and generals behind me will also retreat.

As we lose and they gain, the Chu people would be invigorated.

How could we continue to fight such a battle?

General Hua, don’t try to persuade me anymore. I’ve made up my mind to fight the King of Chu.

Don’t worry, we are all in the Innate realm. It’s only been more than ten years since King Chu achieved this realm. At most, he is in the same First Realm as me.

With my ability, even if I can’t defeat the opponent, I can retreat safely.

In this battle, the worst outcome would be my defeat.

Compared to the defeat, not daring to fight is even worse.

I, Zhao Changqing, have never been afraid or retreated in this world between Heaven and Earth.

I have already seen the King of Xichuan before, but I’ve found him lacking, just a defeated general.

Now, isn’t that King of Chu, Lu Yuan?

Let me meet him and see who is better between this heroic figure praised by the world and the hero of my Nanzhao.”

As he spoke, his youthful spirit shone forth, impossible to conceal.

Seeing this scene, Hua Kaiyun opened his mouth, feeling that his own prince was indeed speaking reasonably.

With the ability of an Inborn Grandmaster, even if they can’t win when fighting with their peers, they can escape with their lives, which is not a problem.

A Grandmaster is not easy to kill.

Compared to that, not daring to fight at all would undoubtedly hurt the morale of the army even more.

Therefore, after thinking it through, he finally sighed, “Since Your Highness is determined, I won’t stop you. But I hope that Your Highness will remember the overall situation and keep your precious body safe, not taking risks.”

Zhao Changqing laughed, “Don’t worry, Old General, I am confident.”

After saying that, he floated down and rode a war horse, charging directly out of the battlefield.

Along the way, soldiers made way one after another, letting their own prince out of the battle array.

Soon, he came to the front line of both armies.

Meanwhile, the King of Chu in front, seeing him coming, also stopped his galloping war horse and looked over.

Looking at the upright figure opposite, Zhao Changqing’s heart was filled with a spirit that seemed to look down on the world. He pulled on the reins, taking advantage of the horse’s front hoof stepping in midair, and shouted sternly, “I, Zhao Changqing of Nanzhao, am here. King of Chu, Lu Yuan, come and meet your doom!”

As his words fell, he spurred his horse to fly up. A round of green light burst from behind him, and dozens of vines danced and flew out, whipping towards Lu Yuan.

Although confident in his heart, Zhao Changqing knew that he was probably somewhat inferior to the King of Chu opposite him.

So in this battle, he didn’t seek victory, but just to press the opponent’s momentum and at least fight to a “draw” in front of the crowd, stabilizing the morale of the army.

In this way, fighting to a “draw” with the King of Chu not only would make him famous but also severely dampen the Chu people’s spirits.

After all, the person they are up against is a veteran grandmaster, while he himself is a newcomer and younger.

If he can fight to a “draw” with the opponent, it is undoubtedly considered a victory.

So, at this moment, he starts with a surprise attack, seizing the initiative in the fight and catching the opponent off guard.

However, as his calculations rang out, Zhao Changqing unleashed his martial arts external body, but the King of Chu opposite didn’t panic as he had imagined. Instead, he showed a trace of disdainful smile.

His heart suddenly throbbed, and a sense of unease arose.

And this unease soon became reality.

The King of Chu, facing the rushing green vines, appeared unhurried. With a wave of his hand, a red flame ignited in front of him.

True Fire covered a terrible range of several dozen feet, instantly distorting the air by burning it.

Since breaking through and condensing energy, Lu Yuan’s soul and body both underwent a transformation.

The breakthrough in his Immortal Dao Cultivation also led to the improvement of his Martial Arts.

By this point, his Martial Arts have successfully broken into the Innate Second Realm. The strength of his true pneuma has made his martial arts external body several times more powerful than before.

At this moment, dealing with Zhao Changqing, who has just broken through the Innate realm and has a martial arts external body, is like a highschool student bullying an elementary school student, able to suppress him with a wave of a hand.

The dozens of green vines had just touched the Red Sun True Fire, and they were ignited with a bang. The vine tips closest to the center of the flame were instantly burned to smoke.

“How is this possible?”

Zhao Changqing looked at the scene, his eyes widened, and his face full of disbelief.

At the same time, a sense of crisis filled his heart. He realized that he had done something extremely foolish. Not caring about his anger, he subconsciously wanted to turn around and flee.

The strength of the King of Chu far exceeded his imagination.

The terror of that martial arts external body was definitely not in the Innate First Realm.

He’d not be a match for him. If he continued to fight, he might indeed be in danger.

However, this idea of escaping had just emerged when a thunderous sound appeared in his mind. His eyes became dizzy, and at the corner of his vision, he seemed to see a yellow light quickly flying towards him, a huge pillar rising from the ground, closely followed by a pain in his body, and his consciousness sank…
