Chapter 90
He was not like a person, but more like an invincible and unbreakable peerless sword, as if he could cut down mountains, rivers, grass, trees, Sun, Moon, and Stars!
The Fifth Prince's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed the unstoppable sharpness of the aura emanating from it, filling him with dread.
"Sword stance!"
The trembling sound echoed throughout every corner of the venue.
Countless people stared wide-eyed, their pupils filled with disbelief.
"It's sword intent! The Sixth Prince has mastered sword intent!"
An elderly martial artist with gray hair exclaimed in surprise.
"Sword aura... This is a supreme technique possessed only by Nascent Spirit Sword Sect Nascent Soul True Person. Sixth Prince... truly Celestial Person being!"
Someone shouted in a trembling voice.
"Although our cultivation level is higher than that of the Sixth Prince, in terms of comprehension, I'm afraid even if we cultivate for several hundred more years, we still won't be able to catch up with him!"
A martial artist at the Divine Sea Realm sighed in regret.
"It doesn't seem to be sword intent... Look closely, everyone. The sword on the Sixth Prince's body is not fully solidified; it's only in its embryonic form... This should be the Sword Intent Embryo!"
The old friend of King Wu'an, Divine Sea Realm martial artist who had guarded the border for many years, was a sword cultivator.
After his initial surprise, he quickly noticed the unusual details.
Everyone looked up.
The Sixth Prince stood firmly in place, his long sword gleaming coldly, as if his entire body was enveloped by a giant, sharp sword.
However, this sword is not yet fully formed; it is like a blank that still needs polishing.
"Although it's only in its Sword Intent Embryo, it's already quite remarkable... He's not even thirty years old yet, is he?"
"The Sixth Prince has grasped the Sword Intent Embryo; his strength should now be comparable to that of the Second Prince and Princess Ziwei, right?"
As soon as he said that, the man realized his mistake and immediately lowered his head.
None of those present uttered a word of rebuttal.
Because everyone felt that the Sixth Prince, who had mastered the Sword Intent Embryo, could not only rival the Second Prince and Princess Ziwei, but might even surpass them.
Sword aura greatly enhances a martial artist's abilities, even enabling them to fight across vast realms.
Although the Sixth Prince is only at the Spring Gushing Second Layer, with his Sword Intent Embryo, probably none of the princes can withstand a single blow from him!
Even if it were the Second Prince or Princess Ziwei.
I'm afraid they're no match for him either!
In the center of the main hall, the Sixth Prince stood on the high platform, holding a long sword. A powerful aura emanated from him, and his sword strike was like a rainbow, as if a sharp sword had been drawn from its sheath, revealing its full sharpness!
Countless eyes stared at him, all filled with shock.
At less than thirty years old, he had already grasped the Sword Intent Embryo; such talent surpassed even the Nascent Soul True Person of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Of all those present, the one who was most shocked was the Fifth Prince.
"Sword Intent Embryo? That's quite impressive..."
Despite saying this, the Fifth Prince did not show the slightest fear; instead, a glint of cunning gleamed deep in his eyes.
Seeing that the Fifth Prince stood there without saying a word, someone spoke up:
"The Sixth Prince has grasped the Sword Intent Embryo. With such strength, the Fifth Prince will likely find it difficult to contend with him. It would be better for him to concede defeat sooner rather than later, so as not to damage the harmony between brothers!"
The Sixth Prince looked intently at the Fifth Prince and said in a deep voice:
"You're no match for me, admit defeat! I don't want to hurt you."
In the audience seats, Xiao Minghuang took a sip of fruit tea, pondering to herself. She could vaguely sense a peculiar aura emanating from the Fifth Prince, seemingly no weaker than that of the Sixth Prince, yet he remained hidden from view.
"Do you still have a trump card...?"
In the center of the main hall.
The Fifth Prince stood tall and straight, like a straight spear, exuding a sharp and domineering aura.
Suddenly.
A powerful aura surged into the sky, the spear moved like a dragon, its energy as deep as an abyss, its momentum as heavy as a mountain, its domineering presence was fully revealed, and it was in no way inferior to the Sixth Prince!
Sensing this domineering and arrogant aura, the Sixth Prince's eyes widened in surprise, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Between the two, [-
An invisible wave spread outwards, instantly turning many tables and chairs in the hall into dust and overturning them to the ground.
Everyone present was utterly horrified!
What's going on here!?
"What's going on?! It's actually no weaker than Sword Intent Embryo?!"
A young martial artist exclaimed in shock.
"Could this be... a spear stance?"
An elder asked in confusion.
"No, this is Spear Intent Embryo!"
At this moment, the burly man who had come with the Fifth Prince, beaming with pride, loudly proclaimed:
"When Yuan Di was eighteen, he had already grasped the Spear Intent Embryo. There's no one else like him in the entire Southern Border. I say he's the number one genius in the Southern Border. Who supports him? Who opposes him?!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
They originally thought that the Sixth Prince's grasp of the Sword Intent Embryo was already terrifying enough, but they did not expect that the Fifth Prince had grasped the Spear Intent Embryo many years ago. In this light, the Fifth Prince was indeed more monstrous than the Sixth Prince!
"I originally thought today would be a battle between the Second Prince and Princess Ziwei, but I never expected it to be a duel between the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince. What a surprise!"
"Today's banquet was presumably intended by King Wu'an to promote the Second Prince, but unexpectedly, it has all benefited the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince... We'll see who the final winner is today, the Fifth Prince or the Sixth Prince."
Someone said in a low voice.
No one believed that the Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince, who possessed the power of spears, would lose to Princess Ziwei or the Second Prince.
Gradually, the murmurs subsided, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely tense.
Countless gazes converged, all intently fixed on the two figures in the arena.
At this moment, on the high platform, King Wu'an coughed lightly, and a faint pressure rippled out like the tide, dispersing the heavy sword and spear aura.
"The palace is too cramped for the two princes to display their unique skills. How about we move to the Training Ground?"
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Prince nodded.
The Sixth Prince remained silent, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
Before long, the group moved to the Training Ground.
Countless enormous luminous pearls surrounded the area, illuminating the Training Ground, which spanned a hundred feet in radius, as bright as day.
On the Training Ground, King Wu'an, Princess Ziwei, the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and a group of ministers took their seats.
It is worth noting that a beautiful young woman with a graceful figure and wearing a bright green dress appeared beside the King Wu'an.
But at that moment, no one noticed the girl's sudden appearance.
Everyone's attention was focused on the arena in the center of the Training Ground.
On the arena, the Sixth Prince and the Fifth Prince stood facing each other.
The air seemed to freeze between the two of them.
In the audience, some people were talking amongst themselves.
"The Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince, one has grasped the Spear Intent Embryo, and the other has grasped the Sword Intent Embryo. Who will win?"
"It's hard to say, but the Sixth Prince is at the Spring Gushing Realm, so he has a better chance of winning."
Amidst the lively discussion...
King Wu'an suddenly looked at Xiao Minghuang and asked softly:
"Your Highness, who do you think will win this contest?"
Xiao Minghuang didn't give this question much thought at all.
Regardless of who wins or loses between the two of them, she will ultimately prevail.
Winning is a sure thing!
"It's probably the Fifth Prince!"
Xiao Minghuang thought for a moment and then answered.
Immediately afterwards, King Wu'an looked at the Second Prince and asked the same question.
However, the Second Prince gave a completely different answer.
"The Sixth Prince will surely win!"
Upon hearing this, the young girl sitting beside King Wu'an suddenly spoke, her voice clear and melodious, and asked curiously:
"Cousin, how come you and Princess Ziwei reached opposite conclusions?"
The Second Prince, gentle and refined, spoke in a soft and soothing tone, like a spring breeze, explaining:
"The Sixth Prince is at the Spring Gushing Second Layer, while the Fifth Prince is only at the Peak Qi Refining Realm. The difference in their cultivation levels is huge, so the Sixth Prince will definitely win!"
"I see! My cousin is very knowledgeable. I've learned a lot!"
The girl nodded in agreement.
"If my cousin has any questions, she can come and ask me. If I know the answer, I'll definitely help her!"
"Then I thank you in advance, cousin!"
Upon hearing this, the girl smiled with delight.
Since that incident, the Second Prince had been cold and distant towards her, but today his attitude suddenly changed, leaving her somewhat flattered.
"You're too kind, cousin!"
The Second Prince responded and then turned his attention back to the Training Ground.
In his view, the outcome of this competition was no longer important.
Because whoever wins will have the strength to challenge and defeat Xiao Minghuang.
But he preferred the sixth Fifth Prince Sixth Prince.
Since the Sixth Prince is already a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, it is impossible for him to return to the Great Xia Dynasty to inherit the throne.
But regardless of who wins, he will do everything in his power to persuade the winner to voluntarily relinquish the throne and not participate in the grand competition.
Just as the group was talking...
The atmosphere on the arena was frozen solid.
A great war is about to break out!
In an instant, the Sixth Prince made the first move!
He gripped the longsword with both hands and his body suddenly shot forward.
A dazzling sword light instantly tore through the air, slicing through the dark night sky, and slashed fiercely towards the Second Prince's chest!
This sword light was as fast as thunder and as swift as lightning!
Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and the sword light had already appeared in front of the Fifth Prince.
Facing the dazzling sword light, the Fifth Prince remained calm. With a slight turn of his wrist, a flash of black light appeared, instantly transforming into a black spear.
But he didn't panic. He stomped his foot hard on the ground, leaping into the air. The spear in his hand flashed, and he thrust it fiercely at the sword light!
With a deafening roar, the two attacks collided instantly, producing a deafening explosion!
The aftershocks of the attack caused the ground to tremble and dust to fly everywhere!
