"Bang …"
Ying Wuming's body flew out like a cannonball.
Just now, the speed at which he charged towards Shen Lang was extremely fast, but now, the speed at which he was bounced back was even faster.
While his armor was shattered, there was a series of explosions coming from within his body.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Following the series of explosions, blood spurted out like a fountain.
But the moment it spurted out, it shattered into endless red powder.
Therefore, Ying Wuming's body was really like a red bomb. When he flew in the air, endless red mist burst out.
Immediately after, his body slammed into a huge stone pillar in the Grand Duel Arena.
There was a loud noise.
The stone pillar, which was more than a meter in diameter, broke.
Then, Ying Wuming's whole body was red, and he lay on the ground, motionless.
"F * ck!"
At this time, Shen Lang's mental strength was completely exhausted. He barely managed to hold on and not faint.
He was completely stunned by the scene in front of him.
The power of the energy vortex shouldn't be so great.
Ying Wuming was wearing a top-notch Ancient Armor, but it was now almost completely shattered. Not a single inch of his body was unscathed. There were probably tens of thousands of small holes on his body, all of which had exploded.
Why did it have such an effect?
The primary energy vortex was very powerful, but it didn't have such a heaven-defying effect.
The reason for this was that Ying Wuming's martial arts were too strong. This fight was a complete disgrace to him because Shen Lang was too weak. Even if he killed Shen Lang ten thousand times, it would be useless.
In the future, when everyone mentioned Ying Wuming, they would remember the fight between him and Shen Lang, and they would instinctively look down on him.
This was equivalent to Lin Zhiling and Sister Feng competing in beauty in front of the whole country. Even if she won a hundred times, her value would plummet.
Therefore, in this fight, besides turning Shen Lang into a cripple, the most important thing was to create an effect that would amaze everyone.
He wanted to condense all the internal energy in his body and perform a stunning performance.
Internal energy super resonance.
First, he used half a finger to send Shen Lang flying a kilometer away, turning him into a cripple.
Then, Ying Wuming gently stepped on the ground, and all the internal energy and True Qi in his body burst out.
The arena, which had a diameter of thirty meters, had completely collapsed. Everyone was crushed into pieces and turned into dust.
This was the inner strength super resonance.
Absolutely gorgeous, absolutely shocking, absolutely able to make people remember this scene forever. In the future, when this martial arts competition was mentioned, they would only remember this scene, and not the fact that he had defeated Shen Lang.
After destroying the martial arts arena with his Internal Force Resonance, Ying Wuming calmly said, "This martial arts competition is a disgrace, so I've destroyed this arena. Just pretend that today's events never happened."
If he succeeded, it would undoubtedly be a super successful show off.
Therefore, at that time, Ying Wuming's body had been brewing all the internal force and bloodline power. His whole body was like a shocking bomb that was going to explode outside his body.
However …
Before Ying Wuming could unleash his inner force, Shen Lang's energy whirlpool collided with it, destroying the ancient armor on Ying Wuming's body. The astounding inner force in Ying Wuming's body exploded.
That was why Ying Wuming had turned into a red bomb, riddled with holes.
It was simply too terrifying.
The entire arena was dead silent. Everyone's mind was blank, and they had almost lost all ability to react.
This included the Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian.
To be honest, he had witnessed many of Shen Lang's miracles with his own eyes. Therefore, he had a different view of this martial arts competition. Although he did not know how Shen Lang would win, he had a faint feeling that Shen Lang might not necessarily lose.
However, when it really happened, he still felt as though he could not breathe.
How, how was this possible?
What had just happened?
How did Shen Lang do it?
King Ning Zheng of Yue, King Wu, and King Chu were also completely stunned.
Everything had happened too quickly, not even a second had passed. It had ended almost as soon as it had started. Moreover, their Emperor Shen Lang had won and defeated Ying Wuming in an instant?
God, even in the most absurd of dreams, they would not dare to dream of such a scene.
After the complete shock, they fell into a temporary numbness. After a full half a minute, boundless ecstasy completely exploded.
God, we won. His Majesty Shen Lang won. He has once again created a miracle.
"Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
"Long live His Majesty Shen Lang! Long live His Majesty!"
The Wu, Chu, and Yue Kings were the first to shout, followed by Su Nan and all the members of the Furious Tide City delegation.
Su Nan, in particular, was still in a daze. He could not help but recall what had happened a few years ago.
He had also been defeated in such an inexplicable manner. It was obvious that he would win, but then he suddenly received bad news that the Qiang King, Alutai, had died, and the Qiang Kingdom's army had been completely annihilated. Then came the news that the Su Clan's army that had besieged Zhang Chong's White Night City had been completely annihilated.
At that time, the situation had clearly been favorable, but they had lost completely. In the end, the entire clan had been forced to die just to protect Su Nan.
However, Ying Wuming was probably even more confused now. He did not even know what had happened before he was directly annihilated.
After a long time, Su Nan shouted in his heart, "His Majesty Shen Lang is awesome."
… …
After a long time, Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire finally remembered his mission. He slowly walked toward the place where Ying Wuming had landed.
Everyone's eyes followed him as he moved.
After walking for a long time, Prince Lian finally arrived in front of Ying Wuming. He first checked Ying Wuming's breathing, then touched his carotid artery.
Then, his gaze fell on Ying Wuming's chest. There was a large hole in his chest. Even his heart had been blasted through.
Ying Wuming was too powerful. All the inner force and vital energy in his body had exploded in his blood vessels. How powerful was that?
It was a tragic sight. Even his face could not be seen clearly.
Prince Lian instinctively opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat was blocked.
Scenes of Ying Wuming in the Flame Capital surfaced in his mind. He was a very powerful person.
Nearly a year ago, he had just represented Stupa Mountain in the transcendental forces' meeting. How high-spirited and heroic he had been back then.
In fact, it was not just a year ago. All these years, he had been a frequent visitor to the Flame Capital. He was an influential figure in the entire Eastern world.
But now … he was gone, just like that.
Everyone stared at Prince Lian. Why don't you say something?
Prince Lian said slowly, "Crown Prince Ying Wuming … is dead!"
There was still a deathly silence.
Prince Lian raised his voice and said, "Crown Prince Ying Wuming is dead!"
Then, the entire dueling arena erupted into a frenzy. Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
How, how could this be?
Crown Prince Ying Wuming was more than 10,000 times stronger than Shen Lang. And now, he was dead?
Wasn't Shen Lang supposed to be weak and weak? Moreover, he had not even touched Ying Wuming.
After a long while, everyone's gaze fell on Ying Guang. He was once again the center of attention.
As the host and the king of the New Qian Kingdom, Ying Guang naturally sat in the most prominent position. Beside him were Sect Leader Ren and Pavilion Master Zuo Ci of the Sky-sea Pavilion.
Those with the highest status were all seated in this row. This was a separate grandstand. It was high up and dazzling.
Ying Guang's tall figure stood there motionlessly, staring at Ying Wuming's body from afar.
Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire repeated, "Crown Prince Ying Wuming is dead!"
Immediately.
"Pfft …" Ying Guang spat out a mouthful of blood. His tall figure shook violently as if he would collapse at any moment.
"Prince Ying." Pavilion Master Zuo Ci reached out to help him up.
Ying Guang raised his hand to stop him. After shaking for a while, he stood still.
Gently wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ying Guang jumped down from the grandstand and slowly walked toward Ying Wuming's body.
With every step he took, blood dripped onto the ground.
With every step he took, the ground cracked inch by inch.
Deep footprints were left on the extremely hard ground.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Ying Guang slowly walked up to Ying Wuming.
It was too horrible to look at. The shape of his body couldn't be seen at all, and his face couldn't be seen clearly.
His whole body was riddled with holes. There was a deep hole in his heart.
Ying Guang's body trembled violently. His tall figure was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
"Huff, huff, huff …"
Every time he breathed, he spat out blood. It was like the roar of a wild beast, and everyone in the arena could hear his breathing.
Ying Guang was very sad when he heard the news of Ying Wuque's death.
However, Ying Wuming was dead. His entire world seemed to have collapsed, and he felt like his heart had died.
This was his pride and his lifelong hope.
Ying Guang's ultimate dream was to defeat the Great Yan Empire and become the ruler of the Eastern World. However, he did not dare to hope that it could be accomplished in his generation. He had placed all his hopes on Ying Wuming's generation.
Now, however, his hope had been destroyed.
Ying Guang carefully carried Ying Wuming's body and slowly walked back to the center of the arena. It was the circle with a diameter of 30 meters. At this moment, Shen Lang was standing outside the circle.
He looked at Shen Lang quietly and said, "My son is dead. So, I need hundreds of thousands of your people to accompany him."
Then, Ying Guang gently stomped his foot.
"Peng!" In an instant, the 30-meter diameter arena collapsed. Everyone was crushed into pieces.
Ying Wuming had failed, but Ying Guang had done it.
It was amazing.
This was the Inner Force Super Resonance. It was really awesome. What kind of powerful martial arts was required to achieve this? At least, Shen Lang could not imagine it.
This was because it was not a direct explosion. Instead, it was soundless, just like the precise explosions of modern Earth. In an instant, the entire building collapsed without any debris flying.
The scene in front of him was even more amazing. The entire arena was instantly reduced to rubble, and the sound was even softer than the sound of a balloon bursting.
"Shen Lang, I don't care how you did it, and I don't care how you created this miracle. But, I want you to bury a million people with Wuming," Ying Guang said again. Then, he carried Ying Wuming and left.
… …
The arena was still completely silent.
The Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian returned to the Monarch's Grandstand. He needed to discuss with the envoys of the various countries and the representatives of the six transcendent forces.
This martial arts competition was witnessed and supervised by the Great Yan Empire's imperial edict.
However, the entire process was too strange. So, they needed to hold a meeting to discuss whether this demonstration was real and effective.
There were no more than 30 people in the Monarch's Grandstand, and the representatives of ordinary small countries were not qualified to speak.
"I strongly doubt the results of this martial arts competition. Everyone knows that Shen Lang is weak. How did he defeat Crown Prince Ying Wuming?" The Tongtian Temple Master said, "There must be a conspiracy. This is definitely a conspiracy. This is a stain on martial arts."
The Tongtian Temple and Shen Lang had a deep-seated hatred. So, they chose to stand up at the first opportunity, even though Jiang Li was a great benefactor to the Tongtian Temple.
Then, the Great Liang Kingdom King said, "I also doubt the fairness of this martial arts competition. I propose to summon Shen Lang and ask him to thoroughly explain how he killed Ying Wuming."
The Punishing Heaven Pavilion Young Master Ji Wulian said slowly, "I also agree to thoroughly investigate Shen Lang and find out how he killed Ying Wuming."
The Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian looked at the White Jade Capital envoy, the Stupa Mountain Master, and the Sky-sea Pavilion Master and said, "What do the three of you think?"
Stupa Mountain Master Ren said, "Then summon him for questioning."
The Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian said, "Sure. Summon His Excellency Shen Lang."
… …
A moment later, Shen Lang arrived at the Challenger's Grandstand and sat down in front of the thirty judges.
His Mental Energy was almost completely depleted. He could fall asleep at any time.
The New Qian Kingdom's Prince Ying Wuchang said coldly, "Shen Lang, how did you kill my brother? Summon him immediately! "
Ying Wuchang was feeling complicated. Ying Wuming and Ying Wuque were dead. Would he be the next Crown Prince of the New Qian Kingdom?
The Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian said, "His Excellency Shen Lang, everyone knows that you are weak, right?"
Shen Lang said, "Yes."
The Prince Lian said, "Then, are you still like this? Do you not know any martial arts? "
Shen Lang said, "Yes."
The Prince Lian said, "You have no martial arts at all. How did you defeat Ying Wuming and kill him? The entire arbitration committee is very suspicious of this. So, we want to know the truth and give the world an explanation. "
"No comment," Shen Lang said indifferently.
As soon as these words left his mouth, everyone present was stunned. You, Shen Lang, are so arrogant?
The representatives of the six transcendent forces were all here. Whether this competition was fair or not was entirely up to them. Yet, he said he had no comment? How could he be so arrogant?
The Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian said, "His Excellency Shen Lang, this competition is not just a matter of life and death. It also concerns the Great Qian Empire's legitimacy. If you don't give us a clear explanation, we will not be able to give the world an explanation."
Shen Lang said with a smile, "Aren't you just shocked? How could a weakling like me be able to kill Ying Wuming? You are afraid of the unknown. That's why you want to get to the bottom of this. Are you trying to seek justice for Ying Wuming? "
His words were even more arrogant.
"Bang!" The King of the Jin Nation slammed the table and said coldly, "His Excellency Shen Lang, don't forget that you, the so-called Emperor of the Great Qian Empire, have not received the recognition of the world. You even called yourself Emperor behind closed doors. If you continue to act like this, don't blame us for being too harsh and just. Because you may not only be guilty of fraud, but also murder. "
The Tongtian Temple Master said, "His Excellency Shen Lang, you must explain today how you killed Crown Prince Ying Wuming when you were so weak. Otherwise, we can only declare today's competition invalid!"
Shen Lang raised a finger and said, "First, I am the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire. Why would I need your recognition? When I completely unify the Eastern World, you can just submit to me. All of you here are Kings at most. What qualifications do you have to recognize the Emperor of the Great Qian Empire?
"Second, my main goal in today's competition was to kill Ying Wuming. Now, I have accomplished it. I am very happy. As for the rest? It doesn't matter.
"Third, I still don't have any martial arts. Ying Wuming is a million times stronger than me. But I killed him in seconds. This is a miracle. Do you want to know how I did it? I won't tell you.
"Fourth, Sect Master Ren of Stupa Mountain. Now that Ying Wuming is dead, there is no one to marry with your Stupa Mountain. We have had our differences, but not to the point of death. Let bygones be bygones. The most important thing to do is to look forward, isn't it? How is Princess Ren Yingying? I miss her very much. I will still say the same thing. I can cure Princess Ren Yingying, restore her to normal, and give birth to children for her. " Shen Lang said passionately, "Before, there was still Ying Wuming between us. Now that he is dead, there are no obstacles between us, right? My marriage with Stupa Mountain is a match made in heaven. Once I cure Princess Ren Yingying, you will have a successor, right? In the future, what kind of bloodline will her son have? How heaven-defying will he be? Think about it, how powerful will your Stupa Mountain be in his hands? "
"Therefore, Sect Head Ren, please go back and consider it carefully. We are all men and there is no unforgivable hatred between us. Let us just let the grudges from yesterday go with the wind. Father-in-law, please accept a bow from your son-in-law." Shen Lang stood up and cupped his fists towards Sect Head Ren.
Everyone present was completely stunned and couldn't believe the scene in front of them.
Shen Lang, aren't you going too far? Ying Wuming's corpse hasn't even turned cold, and you're already openly snatching his fiancée? You're already openly sowing discord between Stupa Mountain and the New Qian Kingdom?
Shen Lang continued, "Sect Leader Ren, now that Ying Wuming is dead, the New Qian Kingdom has no one to carry on its throne. Please don't hang on to this tree for too long. I'm the true heir of tomorrow, and I'm your ideal son-in-law. After I wake up, shall we have a good chat?"
Huh?!
The entire crowd fell silent as they quietly watched Shen Lang's shameless performance.
Many people even looked at each other in dismay because many of them had never interacted with Shen Lang before.
"Brother, this … has Shen Lang always been this shameless?"
"Yes, yes, he has always been this shameless."
"This is simply amazing. There is no most shameless, only more shameless."
Stupa Mountain's Sect Master Ren's face turned green. Shen Lang, you bastard! You scoundrel! How dare you say such words in front of everyone! What do you take my Stupa Mountain for? A whore's nest?
The Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian said coldly, "Your Excellency Shen Lang, are you really going to look down on our authority?"
Shen Lang slowly said, "Prince Lian, please be clear about this. This is a duel between Ying Wuming and I, a duel to the death. What's fair about it? If I can kill him, I will win. I'll say it again. You can decide how you want to decide the outcome of this duel. In any case, I'm not the one who will lose face, but the Great Yan Empire. "
Following that, Shen Lang stood up and said, "Alright, you guys can discuss this slowly. I'm extremely tired, and I'm going to sleep. Big Sister Yao 'er, come in and carry me. I can't walk anymore."
As soon as he said this, the entire crowd violently convulsed.
Chou Yao 'er walked in, carried Shen Lang in her arms, and walked out.
"Goodbye, everyone." In Chou Yao 'er's arms, Shen Lang waved his hand and said, "Sect Master Ren, father-in-law, remember to have a chat with me. I can cure Ren Yingying, give you a heaven-defying grandson, and give Stupa Mountain a successor."
Following that, Shen Lang yawned and fell asleep in Chou Yao 'er's arms.
Everyone's faces twitched again. They glared at Shen Lang, wishing they could pierce him with a thousand holes. Was this the thing that killed Crown Prince Ying Wuming?
How wise and mighty was Ying Wuming? How could he die at the hands of this thing? The heavens were truly blind!
… …
After Shen Lang left, the Regal Spectator's Stand fell silent again.
Great Yan Empire's Prince Lian said, "Everyone, there are tens of thousands of people outside waiting for us to announce the results. Let's hurry."
New Qian Kingdom's Ying Wuchang said, "The New Qian Kingdom does not recognize the results of this duel. Shen Lang cheated and is suspected of murder. I request the Great Yan Empire to form a committee to investigate this matter."
The Tongtian Temple's Master said, "I also think that this duel was unfair. I agree to form a committee to thoroughly investigate Shen Lang's cheating and murder of Crown Prince Ying Wuming."
Following that, a group of people spoke up one after another, expressing their desire to deny the results of this duel.
This was because it did not concern victory or defeat, nor was it a matter of life or death. It concerned the legitimate name of the Great Qian Empire.
Once it was determined that Shen Lang had won, then the Ying family would lose the throne of the Great Qian Empire.
There could only be one Great Qian Empire, not even the New Qian Empire. Moreover, according to the agreement between Shen Lang and Ying Wuming, if Shen Lang won this duel, not only would the Ying family have to abdicate, but the New Qian Kingdom would also have to be handed over to Shen Lang. The entire New Qian Kingdom's subjects would have to swear loyalty to Shen Lang and become part of the Great Qian Empire.
In fact, Ying Guang would have to immediately withdraw from the Qian Capital and allow Shen Lang to reside in the Qian Capital, making it the Imperial Capital of the Great Qian Empire.
Prince Lian said, "Those who want to deny Shen Lang's victory, please raise your hand."
Immediately, more than 70% of the twenty-odd people present raised their hands.
It seemed like everyone couldn't stand Shen Lang and didn't want him to be complacent. Did they not want him to win, let alone let him become the rightful ruler of the Great Qian Empire? Did they want Ying Guang to continue being the Emperor of the New Qian Empire?
Did they even want to charge Shen Lang with cheating and murder?
Prince Lian's eyes flickered. No one could tell what he was thinking.
Of course, it was very easy to know what he was thinking. All they had to do was consider the interests of the Great Yan Empire.
Balance!
Between Shen Lang and Ying Guang, the Great Yan Empire would suppress the stronger one.
Prince Lian stood up and said, "Alright, let's proceed to the official voting. Please be serious because this is a very sacred matter. Not only does it concern one's reputation and life and death, but it also concerns the ownership of the Great Qian Empire. If Shen Lang wins, then the Ying family will lose the throne, regardless of whether it's the Great Qian Empire or the New Qian Empire. Shen Lang will also become the rightful ruler of the Great Qian Empire, and the world will recognize him.
"If this duel is declared invalid, then Ying Guang will continue to be the ruler of the Great Qian Empire. Shen Lang's so-called ruler of the Great Qian Empire will be illegal and unjust because there can only be one Great Qian Empire.
"This matter will be recorded in the annals of history. Every vote here will determine the history of the eastern world. Please be serious and sacred!
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Let's vote!" Prince Lian of the Great Yan Empire said, "Esteemed envoy from the White Jade Capital, please vote for us."
The envoy from the White Jade Capital said, "Shen Lang wins!"
She would not waste a single word. Everyone's faces trembled slightly when they heard this.
Prince Lian looked at the Sky-sea Pavilion Leader and said, "Esteemed Pavilion Leader Zuo Ci, would you like to say something?"
Zuo Ci said, "This is a duel, not a martial arts competition. Life is decided, death is decided. What fraud is there? What murder is there? Shen Lang wins! "
Instantly, everyone's expression changed again.
Prince Lian said, "Esteemed Sect Leader Ren? Would you like to say something? "
Stupa Mountain Sect Leader Ren said, "I'm the interested party, so I abstain."
Not only did everyone's expression change, but they were also trembling. What did Sect Leader Ren mean? Ying Wuming was his son-in-law. The New Qian Empire and Stupa Mountain were one.
Prince Lian looked at the young master of the Punishing Sky Pavilion, Ji Wulian, and said, "Young Master Ji, please speak."
Ji Wulian wanted to say that Shen Lang lost and trample on him a hundred times. However, the Punishing Sky Pavilion had to maintain the same stance as the Great Yan Empire in public.
He wanted to say that he should abstain too, but he could not.
"Shen Lang wins!" Ji Wulian said.
Prince Lian continued, "Master Ji En of the Xuankong Temple, what do you think?"
Elder Ji En of the Xuankong Temple said, "Shen Lang wins."
Prince Lian said, "What do you think, Tongtian Temple?"
The face of the Temple Master of Tongtian Temple twitched. Just now, he was the one who firmly wanted to deny Shen Lang's victory and investigate his crimes of cheating and murder. But now, after taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "The Temple Master of Tongtian Temple forfeits …"
Prince Lian said, "Prince Jin, what do you think?"
From the standpoint of the Great Jin Kingdom, he was naturally willing for Shen Lang to lose and for Ying Guang to become the ruler of the Great Gan Kingdom, standing on the front line against the Great Yan Empire. However, the Great Jin Kingdom could not oppose the Great Yan Empire, they couldn't even abstain.
After a while, the king of the Great Jin Kingdom said, "Shen Lang wins."
Prince Lian said, "Your Highness, Crown Prince of the War Hounds Kingdom, what do you think?"
The War Hounds Kingdom was a nomadic kingdom with a vast territory. Moreover, it had been outside of the eastern world for a long time.
Hearing Prince Lian's words, the War Hounds Crown Prince smiled and said, "I originally wanted to say that Shen Lang won, but now all of you are saying that Shen Lang won. Should I abstain? This is meaningless, I want to oppose all of you. "
"Shen Lang lost. Moreover, he is guilty of fraud and murder." After saying this, the War Hounds Crown Prince laughed. He was truly arrogant.
Prince Lian's face twitched and then he looked at King Chu.
"His Majesty Shen Lang is supreme, he wins!"
"His Majesty Shen Lang is supreme, he wins!"
"His Majesty Shen Lang is supreme, he wins!"
The rulers of the Wu, Chu, and Yue Kingdoms spoke at the same time.
The next dozen people didn't need Prince Lian to call them out. One by one, they stood up and said, "Shen Lang wins."
"Shen Lang wins."
Even the king of the Great Liang Kingdom, who had declared that Shen Lang was guilty of murder, couldn't help but stand up and say that Shen Lang won.
In the end, everyone voted. Of the thirty people in the arbitration committee, 26 people voted for Shen Lang to win, 3 people abstained, and one person voted for Shen Lang to lose.
Prince Lian said, "After a sacred vote, the results have come out. Shen Lang has won this duel and obtained the rightful title of the Big Dry Kingdom, becoming the only ruler of the Big Dry Kingdom. Prince Ying Guang needs to abdicate as soon as possible. If there are no objections, I will announce this result to the world!"
