The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 222 Fighting (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
Su Mu was the deputy envoy of the Daxuan Mission and a fifth-rank Taiping Colonel.

He's not a chivalrous knight.

He had no interest in such things as sparring.

People in the underworld like to spar with each other because sparring can increase their fame, and they make a living by relying on fame.

Su Mu doesn't need fame.

Therefore, he would be a fool to agree to such a competition which would not benefit him at all.

"But I don't think the Thirteenth Prince will give up."

Xu Chongyuan said with some concern.

He knew Su Mu's strength, and Yao Ting also knew it.

In this situation, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court still dared to come to Su Mu for a duel, which must mean he had bad intentions.

"Remember, wherever the Daxuan envoy is, it is Daxuan's territory. If they come again, we will fight them off."

Su Mu said lightly.

…………

After nightfall, Su Mu sat in his room and called up the system panel again.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Deputy Envoy of the Mission (temporary), Silver-faced Killer (part-time), Taiping Lieutenant (fifth rank)]

[Points: 35000 points]

[Realm: Rebirth Realm (Eleven-fold blood exchange, extreme body tempering realm)]

[Magic Powers: Immortal Golden Body, Bloody Body, Giant Body]

[Kung Fu: Four Symbols Rebirth Technique (Four Symbols Divine Body (Perfection))...]

[Martial Arts: Thunder Artistic Conception (Minor Success/+), Kan Water Artistic Conception (Great Success), Xun Wind Artistic Conception (Great Success), Gen Mountain Artistic Conception (Great Success), Li Fire Artistic Conception (Perfect), Archery (Perfect)]

Thirty-five thousand points.

This is the good thing about being in the demon palace.

The identity of a fifth-rank Taiping lieutenant and the identity of a deputy envoy of the diplomatic mission can bring thousands of points of income every day.

As long as nothing happens to the members of the delegation, he will have fulfilled his duties as the deputy envoy well.

It feels really good to harvest points.

If the environment in the wilderness wasn't too harsh, Su Mu wouldn't even want this mission to end so quickly.

But this is not possible.

The wilderness is filled with demonic energy.

Although they are now protected by the mysterious soldiers, they cannot stay here for too long, otherwise all the envoys will be attacked by the demonic aura, and at best they will suffer physical damage, and at worst they may even turn into human-demons.

In fact, there are already signs of this happening.

The Taiping Captain was fine, but those civil servants were already showing signs of mental depression.

Shi Ziran, who was in the True Essence Realm, now didn't even dare to use his True Essence easily.

Once he uses up his true energy, he dare not recover through breathing, as the true energy stored in his body will be used up little by little.

Speaking of which, even though he is in the True Yuan Realm, the combat power he can exert now may not be much stronger than that of the Taiping Captain who is in the Rebirth Realm.

"It takes 70,000 points to complete the Kanshui realm, and another 35,000 points will be enough."

Su Mu said to himself.

According to Li Tingkui, if one cultivates the two artistic conceptions to perfection, one will be able to comprehend the visions.

Being in the wilderness and unable to break through the True Essence Realm, if one can comprehend the visions, the improvement in strength will be obvious.

According to the current rate of acquiring points, 35,000 points will be enough in ten days or half a month.

Thinking about the power of Li Tingkui's vision, Su Mu was full of expectations for his own vision.

…………

"Rejected?"

In a palace in the Demon Court, a monster stood with its upper body naked, holding a sword that was almost as tall as a person. Its muscles bulged high, and it looked full of power.

Its head looks like a leopard, and its eyes are extremely sharp.

"As expected."

It said calmly, "I have studied his style. He is an extremely self-centered person. He likes to control everything in his own hands and will not be led by others."

"Thirteenth Prince, what should we do now?"

The monster reported.

"Let's use the Imperial Master's method."

Bao Lingyun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, said in a deep voice, "Send him an invitation and tell him that this prince invites him to watch the show."

"And if he still won't come?"

The monster said.

"He will, as long as you tell him what play this prince wants him to watch."

Bao Lingyun said confidently.

It waved its hand, signaling its men to retreat, then brandished its broadsword and began practicing swordsmanship.

If Su Mu were here, he would definitely be able to see that Bao Lingyun's swordsmanship actually contained the power of artistic conception!

…………

In the wild day, the sky was still dim.

It was just like the sandstorm weather that Su Mu was familiar with in his previous life.

This is because the wilderness is filled with turbid air between heaven and earth.

The demonic energy is the most common foul air in the world.

Early in the morning, Zhu Jiuyuan took Lu Mingyang and others to meet the Demon Court Saint and the Imperial Master.

Su Mu did not go with them.

Firstly, he is not good at negotiation, so it would not be of much use for him to go.

Secondly, he also wanted to be on the safe side, so it would be best not to let the envoy and the deputy envoy be caught in one fell swoop.

Although he had no companions, Su Mu did not leave the embassy, ​​but was prepared for any eventuality.

Less than an hour after Zhu Jiuyuan and his party arrived, Xu Chongyuan walked in with an invitation in his hand.

"Junior Brother Su, the monster from yesterday is here again."

Xu Chongyuan handed the invitation to Su Mu and said in a deep voice, "I'm not here to spar this time, but to send an invitation."

Su Mu took the invitation, glanced at it, and heard Xu Chongyuan say in his ear.

"Bao Lingyun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, invites you to the fighting arena to watch the show."

Xu Chongyuan said.

"The fighting field—"

Su Mu pondered.

After so many days in the Demon Court, they have been trying to learn everything about it, both openly and secretly.

Naturally, they had heard of this fighting arena.

The fighting arena is a place for entertainment in the demon court.

The monsters in the Monster Court watch slaves, captives, etc. duel there, and they would even fight if they wished.

Among those slaves and captives, there were monsters as well as human warriors abducted by monsters.

"Junior Brother Su, Bao Lingyun is here with ill intentions."

Xu Chongyuan said in a deep voice, "The monster it sent said that Bao Lingyun had just returned from outside and brought back some captives. Please go over and watch these captives duel."

"Human, or monster?"

Su Mu pondered.

"do not know."

Xu Chongyuan shook his head. "According to our previous bet, we won the third level. Logically, the human captives in the hands of the demon court should be released. They should not allow humans to participate in the duel again, right?"

"The Demon Court only said to release them, but did not specify when to release them."

Su Mu shook his head and said calmly, "Tushan Hanyu and Niu Zhong also said that they will release the captives only when the Daxuan envoys leave the Demon Court.

Even if they really let human captives fight in the arena now, we can do nothing about it."

"I understand."

Xu Chongyuan frowned and said, “Bao Lingyun wants to use the lives of human captives to force you to compete with it!

How shameless! Junior Brother Su, you can’t go! "

Although he believed in Su Mu's strength, they knew nothing about the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court and had no idea how strong the other party was.

Besides, this is the territory of the Demon Court. Even if we say we are exchanging ideas, who knows if the other party will kill us?
"This is a conspiracy."

Su Mu said calmly, "If I don't go, I'm afraid the Thirteenth Prince will spread the word that I didn't help people in need and turned a blind eye to my fellow humans."

Xu Chongyuan was speechless.

He really wanted to say, let it be promoted, we all know who you are anyway.

But he couldn't say such words.

Rumors can melt gold. Even if Su Mu doesn't care, if this kind of thing is used by someone with ulterior motives, it will be harmful to Su Mu's future.

The most important thing is, even if we don’t talk about reputation, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court may not be able to do even more shameless things.

For example, hanging the heads of human captives in front of the Daxuan Embassy.

For example, the venue for the fight was set up in front of the gate of the Daxuan Embassy.

Unless they can really ignore the human captives being tortured by monsters, otherwise, this problem is almost unsolvable.

That's why Su Mu said this was an open conspiracy.

They knew exactly what the other party wanted to do, but they had no choice but to fight back.

"How about I go and fight the Thirteenth Prince Bao Lingyun first and test his background?"

Xu Chongyuan said with a frown.

They knew nothing about Bao Lingyun. Since the other party dared to force Su Mu to compete with him, it proved that the other party was confident that he could defeat Su Mu.

With the strength that Su Mu has shown along the way, the other party can still have such confidence, which shows that the other party's strength is definitely not bad.

"Since this is a competition, its cultivation level will not be higher than mine."

Su Mu said slowly.

Only between people of the same level can it be called learning.

For warriors in the Zhenyuan realm and those in the Tuotai realm, it is not called sparring, it is called guidance.

It is impossible for the Demon Court to send a third-level demon or even a fourth-level demon to compete with him.

Therefore, Bao Lingyun, the Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, must be at the second level.

Although it is a bit strange, why the eighteen princes of the Demon Court are all third-level monsters, and the thirteenth prince is ranked higher, his realm is actually lower.

But second-level monsters are different from second-level monsters.

It's like although Su Mu is only in the Rebirth Realm, ordinary Zhenyuan Realm people may not be his opponents.

There are geniuses among humans, and naturally there are geniuses among monsters as well.

When he was in Wuling, Su Mu encountered a human genius who deliberately suppressed his realm just to lay a more solid foundation.

Perhaps, Bao Lingyun is also taking this path.

"Its realm is the same as mine, yet it dares to force me to spar with it. I wonder who gave it the confidence."

Su Mu said calmly.

He originally didn't want to bother with Bao Lingyun, but since others had already forced him to the door, he would not be a coward.

In the past, when he was weak, he often had to compromise and use various means to deal with powerful enemies.

But now, it is no longer necessary.

At least, Bao Lingyun was not qualified to make him retreat.

"Tell Bao Lingyun that I will be there on time."

Su Mu closed the invitation and said calmly.

"Junior Brother Su——"

Xu Chongyuan said anxiously.

"It doesn't matter, I know it well."

Su Mu said, "Call the brothers who are on break. It's a rare opportunity to come to the Demon Court. Let's go to the fighting arena and see what it has to offer."

…………

The fighting arena is a circular building.

There is a large open space in the middle, surrounded by stepped seats for spectators.

When Su Mu walked into the fighting arena, he thought he had come to the Colosseum in ancient Rome in his previous life.

However, the fighting arena in the Demon Court was much larger than the Colosseum in ancient Rome in his previous life.

Those seats designed for monsters make humans look small when sitting on them.

"Master Su, my prince is in the fighting arena. This is the position he specially arranged for you."

A monster led Su Mu and others to the center of the audience.

From here you can see the entire fighting arena, which is the place with the best view.

Su Mu looked around and saw that the audience seats in the fighting arena were already filled with monsters, at least tens of thousands of them.

The strength of most monsters is not very high, most of them are at the first level, but there are also quite a few at the second level, and even a few at the third and fourth levels.

This number of monsters is enough to trigger a sixth-order monster tide.

Lu Mingyang was right. Yaoting was already a country that was no weaker than Daxuan in strength.

The faces of the several Taiping captains who came with Su Mu all turned pale.

They are now like a few cats that have found a rat's nest.

Even a cat has to kneel down when facing thousands of mice.

Only Su Mu still had a calm expression.

"My prince has long heard of the prosperity of the Great Xuanwu Dao. This time, I invited Lord Su to watch the battle, and I also want Lord Su to see the martial arts of my demon court."

The monster said, "Lord Su, why don't you sit down and see which one is stronger, Daxuan's martial arts or my prince's martial arts."

"You demon court also have martial arts?"

Although Xu Chongyuan's face turned pale, he still couldn't help but complain.

The power of monsters lies in their naturally strong physiques and their innate magical powers.

Their attacks are based purely on speed and strength. Except for a few monsters that possess innate magical powers, the attacks of the rest of the monsters are very crude.

Although they heard that the Demon Court had been researching methods to transform into humans, they had never seen it.

The demon army that attacked Daxuan before never displayed their true martial arts.

At most, he learned a few human martial arts, which were so crude that they were laughable.

Isn't it funny when a monster talks about practicing martial arts?
"You'll find out soon."

The monster grinned and said.

At this moment, an earth-shaking cheer broke out in the fighting arena.

Some of the monsters in the stands were roaring, some were roaring, and some were speaking human language.

The entire fighting arena was extremely noisy.

I saw a figure appear in the center of the fighting arena. I don’t know when it happened.

The Thirteenth Prince of the Demon Court, Bao Lingyun!

It has a human body and a leopard head, is nearly three meters tall, has smooth muscle lines, and looks full of explosive power.

What particularly attracts people's attention is the thick-backed sword in its hand.

The knife is over two meters long and looks more like a door panel than a knife.

It raised the broadsword to its shoulder, looked around the fighting arena, and finally stopped at Su Mu, its eyes full of provocation.

"I want ten."

Bao Lingyun spoke, his voice was not very loud, but it easily suppressed all the noise in the fighting arena.

As soon as it finished speaking, it heard the sound of iron chains colliding coming from all around the fighting arena.

Gates opened one after another.

Then ten figures walked out from behind the gates surrounding the fighting arena.

Ten humans!
They were ragged and in a miserable state, and they staggered to the center of the martial arts field.

"This prince does not bully the weak. Give them weapons."

Bao Lingyun glanced at the ten people and spoke.

"If you ten can hurt me even a little, I will spare your lives."
