The Northern Territory Chapter 68 The Gambling Covenant
Without waiting for Shen Du to answer, Lu Yuan raised his eyes and looked down, "Heng Yijian, what do you think this holy son said?"
Heng Yijian felt that what Lu Yuan said was reasonable. Since he was here to seek justice, it was natural that true justice could only be achieved through comparison under the scrutiny of everyone!
In case there are any other rumors after the private competition!
"Master Shen, what the Holy Son of the Lu family said is true. Let's settle the matter today!"
With a slight movement of Heng Yijian's foot, the huge hilt suddenly rose up, transporting Heng Yijian to the edge of the square in an instant.
He raised his fingertips, and the whole earth began to shake. From the center of the square, the jade stone rose, and a competition platform hundreds of meters in length appeared in the sky.
Without waiting for Shen Du to say anything, Lu Yuan waved his hand and sent Shen Shuyan directly to the competition platform with a shield.
"Don't worry, Master Shen, this Holy Son and everyone are watching from here, they can't do anything false!"
Zong Si, who was following Lu Yuan, also spoke at this time, "Yes, Head Shen, in full view of everyone today, he will definitely be able to give this matter great justice."
Lu Yuan glanced at Zongsi strangely. Zongsi didn't always like to get involved in things, so why did he get involved now?
The rest of the people also focused their attention on Shen Du, their eyes filled with the look of someone watching a show.
"What does the Shen family leader mean by not saying anything for a long time?"
"I don't know. Since the matter of breaking off the engagement and fighting has been decided, it is not shameful to just fight. Besides, they use the law of heaven as proof. If they don't fight, I'm afraid it will be unjustifiable!"
"How is this possible?! Shen Shuyan is the only daughter in Shendu. She has been the same young master since she was a child. Now she has entered the middle stage of the imperial realm. This Xiao Tian only entered the imperial realm at first glance. There is a difference between the two. Small realm!”
"Then why doesn't Master Shen say anything?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Shen Du was angry. At this time, he felt as if he was being roasted on a fire.
This Xiao Tian is by no means easy to deal with. With Shen Shuyan's current cultivation level, even if she is two levels higher than the opponent, she may not be able to win completely!
The Shen family is an aristocratic family in the north. If they lose to a descendant of a small border clan, wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?!
I can’t agree to anything today!
He was about to refuse, when suddenly, from the sky, a majestic voice descended like rolling thunder, and its overwhelming momentum instantly suppressed the entire sky.
"The Shen family has taken over this matter!"
The sound was like thunder from the nine heavens and disappeared in an instant.
Shen Du's body trembled slightly, then he turned around and raised his hand to the sky and saluted, "Respect the decree of our ancestors!"
Since the ancestors have issued a decree, there is no reason not to fight!
Shen Du waved his hand, and the shield that trapped Shen Shuyan was completely destroyed.
On the competition stage, Shen Shuyan and Xiao Tian stood opposite each other.
Bai Qiu'er was so discerning that she brought over a wooden chair and placed it behind Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan sat comfortably on the wooden chair, and even said to Shen Du beside him: "Master Shen, you're welcome, sit down wherever you want."
Shen Du was quite speechless.
Where to sit?!
Now there is only one chair in the entire square, and it is still under your butt. I can sit on it wherever I want? Where? On the ground? Or on your lap?
He smiled slightly and said, "Holy Son, there is no place to sit here."
"you also
Do you know there is no place to sit?"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and pointed at the people behind him, "If you know there's no place to sit, just drag a few more chairs over for them to sit on."
Shen Du's face twitched again. He was the head of the Shen family after all. In Lu Yuan's eyes, he was just a chair puller?!
Shen Du was calm and angry, but he was still afraid of those two talismans.
He endured it, beckoned to someone, and asked him to fetch some chairs.
Lu Yuan glanced at it and returned to the battle on the competition stage.
On the competition stage, Xiao Tian held a giant sword in his hand and stared at Shen Shuyan in front of him like a torch.
From his body, a powerful sword energy instantly filled his surroundings. The giant sword in his hand trembled momentarily, and a majestic pressure covered the competition stage for a moment.
"Shen Shuyan, I have been practicing every day for the past three years just for this day!"
"Three years of humiliation, I want you to repay me today!"
Shen Shuyan was calm and angry. Listening to Xiao Tian's words, the anger in her heart immediately rose to her chest.
Who is he, Xiao Tian?!
When his talent was not lost, he still had some promise.
Now that all his talents have been lost, I don’t know what method he used to survive and enter the imperial realm. How dare he compete with her, Shen Shuyan?!
He, Xiao Tian, thought that he was really gifted, that he was close to the level of a monster, that he could transcend two small realms and forcefully overwhelm him?!
Shen Shuyan stood up straight, clenched her right hand, and a vast sword energy came up instantly. From around her, sword energy rolled in wildly, and continued to gather in her hand. After a few breaths, a sword energy formed in her hand. A three-foot long sword.
As soon as the sword came out, a sword chant rang out, and the swords in the hands of many people in the field seemed to be sensed by the sword, and they all trembled.
"Sword Qi turns into a sword?"
When everyone on the side saw this, they couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that Shen Shuyan would realize such a realm at such an age. She is worthy of being the daughter of Shendu!"
"The Shen family is known as the Sword Sect of the North. They are good at using sword energy as the sword in their hands. After practicing to a great extent, the sword energy is as strong as the sword, and they can command the world's swordsmen. Now Shen Shuyan is only at the emperor level, so she can shake everyone in the field. This man’s sword is rare, and his talent for swordsmanship is rare in the world.”
"Yes! Now it seems that Shen Shuyan has a better chance of winning!"
Seeing this, Shen Du's eyes also flashed with relief. With Shen Shuyan's cultivation, she can be regarded as the number one member of the younger generation of the Shen family.
As long as they continue to grow like this, the Shen family will definitely have another sword master in the future!
Shen Shuyan raised her sword, and thousands of swords fell from the sky in an instant, covering the entire competition stage with just one breath.
"Xiao Tian, today I will tell you what it means to overestimate one's capabilities!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly rose, causing all the jade stones on the test platform to shatter into pieces.
Shen Shuyan held the sword up, and the sword energy in her hand suddenly rose. In just one breath, Shen Shuyan's figure disappeared from the place and came to the sky above Xiao Tian.
The sword energy suddenly slashed down, and the sound of "puff, puff, puff" could be heard. The sword energy was suppressed in Xiao Tian's face in an instant.
Xiao Tian raised his eyes and saw a trace of red mist suddenly rising in his eyes, and a little mist wrapped around his palms.
He raised the sword with both hands, and all the momentum sank into the sword's power, and then suddenly rushed up.
"boom!--"
Two completely different swords slashed together instantly, making a huge roar.
Bai Qiu'er sat next to Lu Yuan, reached out and fed a grape into the latter's mouth, and saw two swords in the field.
They were evenly matched, but the examination room had long been enveloped by Shen Shuyan's calm sword energy. As time went by, the sword energy around Xiao Tian gathered inward, and he was gradually losing ground.
Seeing this, Bai Qiuer sighed, "It seems that Shen Shuyan is going to win."
Lu Yuan opened his mouth and swallowed the grapes fed by Bai Qiu'er, then smiled, "Don't worry, Xiao Tian will win! Let alone Shen Shuyan, even if there are ten of them today, they can't beat Xiao Tian!"
Shen Du, who was on the side, felt a little proud after hearing Bai Qiuer's words. Who doesn't like others to praise their children.
Although he originally judged that Xiao Tian's skills were not low and he might be able to defeat Shen Shuyan, but now it seems that Shen Shuyan is indeed superior in actual combat.
Just when he was feeling relieved, he didn't expect Lu Yuan to declare that Shen Shuyan would be defeated. He also said that one Xiao Tian could defeat ten Shen Shuyan?
It’s just nonsense!
Seeing Lu Yuan's vow, Shen Du couldn't help but say, "What is the basis for the Holy Son to say this?"
Lu Yuan curled his lips and smiled, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and said loudly: "I am here today to declare that Xiao Tian will win today's battle! The Shen family leader seems to disagree with what I am saying?"
Governor Shen took a look at the arena and saw that the sword energy around Xiao Tian had retreated to his side, and the giant sword in his hand was trembling a bit. He was defeated by a sudden force.
Xiao Tian lost...
Shen Du chuckled lightly, "I really don't agree with what the Holy Son said. Xiao Tian's defeat has already been confirmed. The winner today must be my daughter!"
Lu Yuan pretended to be angry, stood up from his chair, pointed at the field angrily, and said loudly: "I dare to bet on a supreme weapon, Xiao Tian will win today! Do you dare to bet?"
Seeing Lu Yuan getting angry, Shen Du just smiled, trying not to take Lu Yuan's words seriously, but then he thought about it, if he followed the bet, wouldn't the noble-level weapon he took out before come back?
Shen Du seemed worried and took another look at the field. Xiao Tian had been forced into a corner by Shen Shuyan and was about to win.
If you don’t bet at this time, Xiao Tian will lose!
Shen Du no longer hesitated and said immediately: "Is what the Holy Son said true?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "What this holy son says is true!"
Then, Lu Yuan spread his hands towards the ancestral temple and said, "Give this holy son a noble-level weapon!"
Zongsi was stunned for a moment, the game you bet on was not mine, why should I pay the bet?!
Lu Yuan looked back and frowned, "Hurry up! What are you talking about?!"
Zongji was calm and angry, and almost reluctantly took out a senior sword that he carried with him, "If the Holy Son loses, I will ask the sect master for it!"
Lu Yuan pulled out the sword and then threw it into the ground. He heard a "crack" sound and the emperor-level sword was inserted into the ground.
"Master Shen, what are you following?"
Shen Du smiled in his heart, this Zun-level long sword is better than the Junhong sword he gave away, he really made a profit today!
"Holy Son, our Shen family has a top-notch spear named Nine Heavens Panlong, which fell in the ancestral hall. As long as the Holy Son wins, I will ask someone to get it immediately!"
Lu Yuan nodded and said in a loud voice: "Okay, I respect the way of heaven and make this bet happen! Everyone present can be a witness! I, the Holy Son, give you a high-five!"
Shen Du was still afraid that Lu Yuan would cheat. Seeing Lu Yuan acting like this, he naturally agreed and immediately gave Lu Yuan three slaps. The bet was concluded.
Lu Yuan put down his palm and raised a bit of an evil smile at the corner of his mouth, "Master Shen, I will accept this Nine Heavens Coiling Dragon Spear!"
