The Crown Prince's facial expression turned incomparably unsightly. He thought that there was no suspense in this battle, but the situation had been reversed in an instant. Just now, he had asked Qu Shuangting not to show any mercy. This was like slapping his own face.
It was impossible for the Crown Prince not to see that given Jiang Chen's current state, no matter how hard Qu Shuangting tried, he wouldn't be a match for him.
At this time, the one who was truly shocked was Qu Shuangting. He had the urge to spurt out blood. He had never thought that he would be defeated by a puny little Golden Immortal one day. What made him even more confused was how a Golden Immortal could have such a powerful combat strength. Great Qian Empire had as many geniuses as the clouds. They had seen all kinds of abnormal people, but this was their first time seeing someone as abnormal as Jiang Chen.
To Qu Shuangting, however, it was impossible for him to admit defeat. If he took the initiative to admit defeat now, it would be equivalent to slapping the Crown Prince's face. The Crown Prince would never spare him.
* Clang! *
Qu Shuangting's arm shook. An incomparably lethal combat sword appeared in his hand. The power of this combat sword was extraordinary. It was exuding King's Qi. One look and anyone could tell that it was a King Grade Immortal Weapon. A King Grade Immortal Weapon was a priceless existence. Plus, the Immortal Weapon used by the geniuses of Genius Prefecture was certainly not an ordinary one.
Initially, Qu Shuangting didn't intend to use his combat weapon, because he still had other powerful means, but after seeing Jiang Chen's dragon-form, he had clearly seen the gap between them. Even if he used his Immortal Weapon, he wouldn't necessarily be able to gain an advantage.
"Jiang Chen, come on. So what if you have a transformation skill? I don't believe that you can sustain this skill forever. Plus, no matter how powerful you are, you are still just a puny little Golden Immortal. I don't believe that a Golden Immortal can fight an intermediate Immortal King. "
Qu Shuangting shouted. As a matter of fact, he said these words to cheer himself up. As an intermediate Immortal King expert, he was no fool. It was impossible for him to not see the situation in front of him.
"You talk too much nonsense. Make your move."
Jiang Chen shook his head. To him, the dragon-form state was equivalent to raising his combat strength by one level. In other words, he was now a late Golden Immortal. Under the dragon-form state, he would have the combat strength of a half-step Immortal King. To Jiang Chen, killing someone who was two levels higher had always been a very easy thing, including geniuses.
Swoosh!
Qu Shuangting made his move. The sword in his hand was raised high up in the air, emitting a sky-piercing sword cry. The might of a King-grade Immortal Weapon was completely unleashed. Qu Shuangting was truly tyrannical. It seemed like he was going to use an incomparably powerful sword art, causing his aura to fuse together with his sword, greatly increasing his might.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but nod silently. This Qu Shuangting was indeed a genius. If the opponent was a late Immortal King, Jiang Chen wouldn't be a match for him even if he used the dragon-form state. Unfortunately, Qu Shuangting was only an intermediate Immortal King. No matter how powerful his sword art was, he was no match for Jiang Chen.
Under Qu Shuangting's control, the sword turned into a beam of light, slashing towards Jiang Chen. The speed of the sword was so fast that a crack appeared in the void.
Jiang Chen moved. No matter how fast Qu Shuangting's sword was, it was just slow motion in front of Jiang Chen, because Jiang Chen was even faster. With a swipe of his dragon claw, he struck out with the True Dragon Palm.
The unparalleled might of the Grand Palm Print was like a cage, grabbing Qu Shuangting's Battle Sword.
Even when that invincible sharp sword slashed against the blood-red dragon claw, it could only produce a spark. It couldn't even move the dragon claw.
Qu Shuangting was shocked. He wanted to retract his sword and continue his attack, but to his horror, he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move the sword at all. His sword had already been firmly controlled by the dragon claw of his opponent.
"Give it to me."
Jiang Chen pulled forcefully. The sword in Qu Shuangting's hand flew away and fell into Jiang Chen's hand.
"Bastard! Give me back my sword!"
Qu Shuangting's eyes were red. This sword was more important than his life. Now that it had been taken away by someone, how could he feel good about it? Immediately, he lunged at Jiang Chen like a madman.
"Humph!"
Jiang Chen harrumphed coldly. The sword in his hand slashed at Qu Shuangting. The speed was countless times faster than when Qu Shuangting executed it.
Chi La!
Only to hear a swishing sound, the long sword slashed on Qu Shuangting's arm, leaving a deep gash that could even reach the bone. Blood gushed out from the wound, and the tearing pain caused Qu Shuangting, who had lost his mind, to recover. He stopped his body and found that a long sword was already pressed against the center of his eyebrows. If it moved forward even an inch, it would pierce through his head.
Qu Shuangting's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He looked down at the wound on his arm. With his eyesight, it was impossible for him not to see that Jiang Chen had shown mercy. Otherwise, that sword wouldn't have just left a wound on his arm. He was afraid that he would have lost his entire arm.
No, it should be said that the sword could have cut through his body and split him in half. Even if it was right in front of him, it would have pierced through his glabella.
"Why did you show mercy?"
Qu Shuangting asked, puzzled. He had been showing that he wanted to kill Jiang Chen, but the other party didn't kill him. This made him very puzzled. Plus, Jiang Chen didn't look like a merciful person no matter how he looked at him.
"It's very easy for me to kill you, but since you are a genius of Genius Prefecture, I will spare your life."
Jiang Chen spoke plainly. He did this out of consideration for Yang Bufan. It was easy to kill Qu Shuangting, but Qu Shuangting was, after all, a genius of Genius Prefecture. Today was Yang Bufan's King-Conferring Ceremony. If he killed a genius of Genius Prefecture as soon as he arrived, it would make Yang Bufan seem too cruel. Therefore, he didn't kill Qu Shuangting because he wanted to spare Yang Bufan's life.
"Thanks a lot."
The corner of Qu Shuangting's mouth revealed a faint smile, then he shook his head helplessly, turned, and walked out of the light shield. At this time, even if he was unwilling, he couldn't say anything. The other party had already spared his life. What else could he say?
As for the Crown Prince, Qu Shuangting felt that the Crown Prince wouldn't punish him. After all, he hadn't admitted defeat. He had already tried his best.
"I don't like your sword."
Jiang Chen tossed the sword to Qu Shuangting. This sword wasn't on the same level as his Heavenly Saint Sword. Naturally, Jiang Chen wouldn't like it. As such, he simply gave it to Qu Shuangting. Even if Qu Shuangting didn't say it out loud, he would never forget this favor. Perhaps, it might be useful in the future. After all, Yang Bufan and the Crown Prince were enemies. It would be best if he could plant a foreshadowing in the Crown Prince's palace.
Even if Qu Shuangting was loyal to the Crown Prince, killing one less intermediate Immortal King wouldn't bring any loss to Jiang Chen. It wouldn't cause any harm to him.
Qu Shuangting returned to the camp of the Crown Prince with a gloomy face. The Crown Prince didn't blame him, nor did the others ridicule him. After all, they had seen the battle clearly. Qu Shuangting's failure couldn't be blamed on him. If it was any intermediate Immortal King on the scene, the result would be the same. This was almost certain.
"Haha! Good! Very good! Jiang Brother is truly incredible."
"That's right. Jiang Brother is merely a Golden Immortal. Not even an intermediate Immortal King is a match for him. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid that genius of the Crown Prince's palace would have been killed. Jiang Brother is truly benevolent."
"He's too powerful. I have never seen such a powerful person. This is what a true genius should be like."
… …
Cheers rose one after another in the camp of King Fan Prefecture. Old Man Bai Weng was the happiest, stroking his beard with both hands. At this time, everyone felt that it was a wise choice for Yang Bufan to invite Jiang Chen into King Fan Prefecture. If it wasn't for Jiang Chen, King Fan wouldn't have been able to deal with the situation today, and would certainly become a laughing stock in the future.
"Haha! Crown Prince, I have already won two matches in a row. Do you want to fight again?"
Yang Bufan burst into laughter.
"It seems like King Fan is in high spirits. In that case, we naturally have to fight again. I would like to see how powerful this Jiang Chen is."
Crown Prince Leng Leng spoke. Today, he was supposed to humiliate Yang Bufan, but he was humiliated instead. He had lost two matches in a row. It could be said that he had lost all his face. If he were to return like this, where would he put his face in the future?
"Brother, can you still fight?"
Yang Bufan looked at Jiang Chen and asked with a solemn face.
"Of course, I'll keep you company until the end."
Jiang Chen shrugged leisurely. He knew what today's battle meant to Yang Bufan. Everything today was destined to be irreversible. Jiang Chen had no intention of backing down. He knew very well that today's battle wasn't just to resist the humiliation of Crown Prince and King Ping, but also to help Yang Bufan gain fame and spread the name of King Fan. This was the most important thing.
"Your Highness Crown Prince."
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from the camp of King Ping Prefecture. A green-robed man walked out and clasped his fists at Crown Prince. "Your Highness Crown Prince, can you let me fight the third match? This Jiang Chen has killed my brother Futian not long ago. I have an irreconcilable feud with him. I hope Your Highness Crown Prince can do me a favor."
The green-robed man who spoke was none other than Young Master Futian's elder brother, Fu Wei. He had followed King Ping into the camp, but didn't have the chance to fight. Seeing that the Crown Prince was infuriated, he must seize the opportunity. Otherwise, Jiang Chen might die in the hands of others. In that case, wouldn't it be easy for Jiang Chen?
