He didn't want to accept this sword at all.
To him, this sword was a humiliation, a failure, and a thorn in his side.
However, if he didn't accept it, he would become the laughingstock of the entire world.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to accept the sword, a cold female voice suddenly sounded.
"Prince Wuxiang, who said that your Dragon Sparrow Sword is a peerless sword? In Imperial Concubine Wang's eyes, it's just so-so. Only a truly peerless sword is worthy of His Majesty! Your sword isn't worthy! "At this moment, Yun Ruoyue had already stood up.
Everyone stared at her nervously as soon as she spoke.
Nalan Meng also looked over. Everyone said that The Princess of Li was very powerful, but she had never seen it for herself.
Today, she wanted to take a good look at what kind of woman she was.
Dongfang Wuxiang narrowed his eyes sharply after hearing Yun Ruoyue's words.
He swept a cold gaze toward Yun Ruoyue. "From The Princess of Li's tone, it sounds like you have a truly peerless sword? And it's even better than my Dragon Sparrow Sword? "
Yun Ruoyue raised her eyebrows. "Of course."
Dongfang Wuxiang's pupils contracted.
It can't be, right? This woman really has a better sword?
Emperor Hongyuan and the others also looked toward Yun Ruoyue in disbelief. Could it be that she really did have a better sword?
At this moment, Yun Ruoyue picked up the military knife from the table and said to Emperor Hongyuan, "Your Majesty, the Donglin Kingdom's blacksmithing skills are outstanding, but our Chu Kingdom's blacksmithing skills aren't bad either. This Phoenix Sword is the latest weapon from The Emperor of Li's palace. "
"Phoenix Sword?" Emperor Hongyuan stared at the small sword in shock.
Everyone was also dumbfounded upon seeing this small sword.
How dare this little thing be called the Phoenix Sword?
Yun Ruoyue nodded. "That's right. It's actually a scalpel that I forged for surgery, but it can also be used as a weapon. It's the queen of swords, so I named it the Phoenix Sword. "
"So this is a scalpel? The Princess of Li, can it really be used as a weapon? "Hongyuan Emperor asked doubtfully.
Yun Ruoyue said, "Yes, it can cut through iron without making a sound. Once it sees blood, it's even better as a weapon."
When everyone heard this, they were all in disbelief.
It couldn't be, right?
Could such a small scalpel be used as a weapon?
The Princess of Li also said that it could cut through iron without making a sound, and that it could kill once it saw blood. Was she bragging?
Dongfang Wuxiang looked at the sword with contempt. How could Yun Ruoyue have the nerve to take out such a small sword?
Wasn't she afraid of being laughed at?
At this moment, Chu Xuanchen stood up. "Your Majesty, please allow me to use this Phoenix Sword to challenge Crown Prince Wuxiang's Dragon Sparrow Sword. This would be a good opportunity to test out our Chu Nation's iron smelting techniques."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the hall was shocked.
It can't be, right? King Li is using such a tiny saber to challenge Dongfang Wuxiang's Dragon Sparrow Sword?
Had he gone mad?
Did he think that his small saber could defeat the Dragon Sparrow Sword?
It was obvious that he would lose without a doubt.
Most of the people here didn't believe Chu Xuanchen, but Emperor Hongyuan was different.
He had already experienced the power of The Emperor of Li and his wife many times.
Thus, he didn't even think about it this time. "Permission granted."
After receiving Emperor Hongyuan's reply, Chu Xuanchen looked toward Dongfang Wuxiang. "Crown Prince Wuxiang, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
As he said this, he took the military saber from Yun Ruoyue's hands.
Dongfang Wuxiang looked at the military saber and humphed lightly. "The Emperor of Li, are you joking with me? How are you going to challenge such a small sword? When you lose, don't blame me for bullying you! "
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows coldly. "Cut the crap. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Dongfang Wuxiang didn't think that Chu Xuanchen would be so arrogant.
He snatched the Dragon Sparrow Sword from Ah Bu's hands and said in a low voice, "Why wouldn't I dare? Do you think I'm afraid of you? "
"Okay, let's begin!" Chu Xuanchen said as he raised the military saber and charged toward Dongfang Wuxiang.
Dongfang Wuxiang had already accumulated a powerful amount of internal energy. He was going to break Chu Xuanchen's small saber in one fell swoop and teach Chu Xuanchen a lesson.
With this in mind, his sword was already slashing toward the military saber in Chu Xuanchen's hand.
He originally thought that Chu Xuanchen would dodge, but to his surprise, he coldly raised the saber and met the Dragon Sparrow Sword head-on.
"Clang!" Everyone heard a crisp sound. This was the sound of the sword breaking.
Everyone thought that Chu Xuanchen's small saber had broken, but to their surprise, Dongfang Wuxiang's sword had been broken into two halves by Chu Xuanchen's cold retraction. Half of the sword fell to the ground with a whoosh.
The palace instantly erupted into an uproar.
Everyone was so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.
Dongfang Wuxiang stared at the half of the sword in his hand with a dumbstruck expression. "How is this possible? My sword is a supreme-grade treasured sword. How can it be so fragile? "
Chu Xuanchen snorted coldly. "How can a sparrow compare to a phoenix? Reality has proven that Wang's phoenix sword is the true peerless sword. "
"Prince Wuxiang, His Majesty is the supreme ruler of our country. How dare you use a sword like this to humiliate him? If you're going to give him a present next time, please give him a true treasure. Otherwise, you'll blaspheme His Majesty! "
"This … The Emperor of Li, you win. I concede defeat." Dongfang Wuxiang cupped his hands toward Chu Xuanchen with a blush on his face.
Then, he looked at the broken sword on the ground with a pained expression. Then, he looked at the small saber in Chu Xuanchen's hand.
After slicing through the Dragon Sparrow Sword, the blade of the small saber was still as smooth as a mirror. Although his Dragon Sparrow Sword had won, it was still covered in cuts.
He looked at Chu Xuanchen in shock. He didn't expect the Chu Nation's iron smelting techniques to be even more powerful than those of the Donglin Nation.
No wonder Chu Xuanchen was so arrogant. It turned out that he had the right to be arrogant.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. No matter how weak the Chu Nation was, it was still a force to be reckoned with.
Furthermore, Chu Xuanchen and his wife were extremely powerful. It looked like he had to reevaluate his opponent.
Yun Ruoyue also breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Chu Xuanchen win.
Her guess was correct. The iron smelting techniques of the ancient era were indeed inferior to those of the modern era. This was why Chu Xuanchen was able to win so easily.
Nalan Meng stared at Chu Xuanchen and Yun Ruoyue with great interest.
She didn't expect the Emperor of Li and his wife to be so powerful.
She had traveled the world and met many powerful figures. However, she had rarely seen such intelligent, courageous, domineering, and difficult to deal with.
It looked like the Chu Nation was truly filled with talented individuals.
This time, the Hongyuan Emperor and the ministers were all beaming with joy.
Just then, they were all feeling very sullen. Who would have thought that The Emperor of Li would avenge them all in the blink of an eye?
Emperor Hongyuan was extremely pleased to see Dongfang Wuxiang's flushed face.
However, he also didn't expect the Emperor of Li's palace to be able to forge such a powerful sword.
It looked like the Emperor of Li and his wife were indeed capable individuals. He had to make good use of them.
He turned toward Chu Xuanchen with a smile. "Xuanchen, you and Ruoyue are very impressive. To think that you were able to forge a weapon that is even more powerful than the Dragon Sparrow Sword. You've truly opened my eyes. Since you're so proficient in the art of iron smelting, I'll appoint you as the supervisor of the Bureau of Military Weapons. You'll be responsible for the production and manufacturing of weapons. "
Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands in salute. "Yes, Your Majesty."
