Creation of the Universe

"Okay, very good. I commend you for your courage, but you are still too young to kill me!"

Shen Jingming was immediately aroused with murderous intent by Shen Zhan's words.

Just imagine that he used to be high and mighty, and everyone inside and outside the palace had to look to his face. Especially in recent years, Prince Jinning has become increasingly incompetent and ignored state affairs. Naturally, people feel that his chances of ascending to the throne are getting greater and greater.

It was this noble status that made Shen Jingming develop an arrogant and domineering temperament.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen someone dare to challenge him like this. Even in the past three years of the palace trials, those who participated in the trials had to submit to him in the end.

Rebellion?

That is impossible!

Shen Zhan didn't care about all this. He just felt that the long sword in his hand was becoming more and more convenient to use. Although it was only his first time using it, he always had a sense of closeness as if he and the sword were one.

"What a fine sword!"

When he expressed this sentiment and thought about what the Prime Minister said when he presented the sword to him, he couldn't help but want to know the origin of the sword.

Maybe I should ask carefully after I get back.

Shen Zhan thought so in his heart.

At this moment, a "whoosh" sound suddenly passed by his ears, and Shen Jingming's sword attacked again.

Shen Zhan turned his wrist and gently made a sword flower. The seemingly swift sword move in front of him was easily blocked by such an ordinary method. The two of them, one fast and one quiet, presented a sharp contrast.

"Shen Jingming, because of the Queen's relationship, you have been appreciated by King Jinning since you were young. He found the best swordsmanship master in the vassal state for you and often gave you all kinds of natural treasures to help you practice. But in the end, you are so mediocre, which is really a pity.

If all these resources were given to me, I would have been able to break through the martial arts realm and reach a higher level long ago.

You are simply wasting everything you have, so you are the real loser and the disgrace of Prince Jin's Mansion!"

Shen Zhan said this in a calm tone while at the same time dissolving Shen Jingming's overwhelming offensive into nothingness. His impeccable defense further proved Shen Jingming's mediocrity in swordsmanship.

Shen Jingming, who was furious and humiliated, had his blood boiling. He suddenly stabbed Shen Zhan in the chest without considering the consequences. He wanted to kill Shen Zhan in one fell swoop and let him die tragically under his sword.

Unfortunately, Shen Zhan saw through his intention in advance and dodged to the side in time. At the same time, he swung out a sword and used the tip of the sword to directly pick up Shen Jingming's shoulder, and a column of blood spurted out.

Shen Jingming felt pain in his right shoulder, which pushed his murderous intent towards Shen Zhan to the peak.

At this point, Shen Jingming no longer cared about anything else. He just wanted to tear Shen Zhan into pieces to prove that his noble status could not be challenged.

But he had already lost his composure, and his moves were disorganized. Soon his counterattack was suppressed by Shen Zhan, and the difference in strength between the two seemed to be beyond doubt.

"Impossible, how is this possible?"

"Will I lose to a loser like you? Don't even think about it!"

Shen Zhan stepped forward with a long sword in hand. Shen Jingming, who had been forced into a desperate situation, looked at him in disbelief.

"It's all over, Shen Jingming. You will die in my hands."

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Shen Jingming's dull face.

At this moment, Shen Zhan felt a whistling sound coming from behind him. When he realized the danger and was about to react, the opponent's attack hit him accurately.

The attack on his chest was precise and fierce. Shen Zhan looked up and saw that the person who made the attack was Shen Yujin, who had been fighting alongside him just a moment ago.

"Don't think I don't have a backup plan."

Shen Jingming laughed coldly.

Shen Zhan immediately noticed that Shen Yujin's eyes were empty and lifeless, and her limbs seemed extremely uncoordinated. It was obvious that her body was being controlled and she was doing actions that were not of her own will.

"I have more than one weapon on me. I won't use this Soul-Snatching Banner easily, but today I will use it to kill you!"

The black and white prayer flags in Shen Jingming's hands kept dancing in the wind. It seemed that this was his trump card. Now Shen Yujin had been completely controlled by her.

This thing is captivating, and is very similar to the method used by the black-clothed young man that Shen Zhan met in Longling Pavilion. However, in terms of power, this prayer flag is undoubtedly more powerful.

Shen Zhan frowned. If he wanted to kill Shen Jingming again, Shen Yujin, who was controlled by the Soul-Capture Banner, would definitely try his best to stop him, but he didn't want to hurt Shen Yujin.

The current situation has put him in a dilemma, and Shen Zhan has to be cautious and act with care.

Shen Jingming said proudly: "So what if you are strong? Father is too lazy to look at you. He has handed all the best treasures to me. You can't beat me!"

As expected, Shen Yujin continued to attack Shen Zhan. Two red flames attacked him at the same time, with an unexpectedly fast speed.

It seems that the person controlled by the Soul-Capture Banner will increase his or her spiritual power in a short period of time, but this is in exchange for unreserved and full use of his or her spiritual power. If there is no way to end the battle before the spiritual power is exhausted, then the person being controlled is likely to die.

After all, Shen Jingming doesn't care about Shen Yujin's life or death at all.

In order to avoid hurting Shen Yujin, Shen Zhan could only dodge passively, which allowed Shen Jingming to gain the upper hand again.

"How long can you keep hiding like this? Either kill her or be killed by her. This is my punishment for your rebellion!"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhan suddenly rushed towards Shen Yujin. When the latter's move was about to hurt him, he dodged and avoided the attack. Then he moved to the other side, gathered energy with two fingers, and gently tapped Shen Yujin's forehead.

Shen Jingming was still shouting loudly, but he didn't notice anything unusual happening at this time.

Until he suddenly discovered that the soul-catching banner in his hand seemed to have lost control of Shen Yujin all of a sudden. Just when he was wondering about this, a red flame was released from Shen Yujin's hand and hit Shen Jingming's heart hard.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Zhan rushed forward again, and the long sword in his hand made a terrifying sword sound in the air.

In a flash, the long sword pierced Shen Jingming's body. The latter immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and the whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, falling ten steps away.

As Shen Zhan walked, he said, "The Soul-Catching Banner is used by sinister villains. It is indeed very suitable in your hands, but it is a pity that such despicable means are just child's tricks to me.

Don't worry, I will personally bring the news of your death back to the Jinning Palace. I'd really like to see the Queen's expression then."
