There are few people in the imperial city who are unaware of Lin Xuan's name.
Although he is a playboy, the recent events surrounding him have caused quite a stir in the capital.
Even though he wasn't the main character of this Holy Dynasty Grand Ceremony, those who needed to gather intelligence during this crucial moment of succession still knew a bit about him.
So when they saw Lin Xuan standing on the arena, neither dodging nor retreating, and saying that he wanted to give it a try, this scene was completely unexpected for everyone.
Visitors from outside the illusion were even more astonished and puzzled.
" Lin Xuan...? What's he going to do?"
"No way, he really wants to try? That's the Vast Sea Saint King Vast Sea Saint Dynasty among the natives, and several princes, couldn't defeat in a single blow."
"Is he trying to get himself killed...?"
"Fool, there's no better time to show off than now."
The legendary Vast Sea Saint King is known to all who enter the Vast Sea Secret Realm.
It could be said that they came from the era after this illusion.
Therefore, the final outcome of this succession struggle is quite clear.
Yet some people are trying to undermine the authority of the Vast Sea Saint King.
No one felt anxious; they just found it funny.
The way they looked at Lin Xuan was as if they were looking at a fool.
The Thirty-Five Imperial Princess was also taken aback.
She was secretly anxious.
What is Lin Xuan doing?
Why won't he admit defeat?
If I get seriously injured later, it will be bad for the competition later!
The Thirty-Five Imperial Princess was extremely anxious. If it weren't for the fact that once the arena battle began, no external forces were allowed to intervene, she would have already wanted to go up and help Lin Xuan admit defeat.
As for whether or not we can win?
joke...
All she could do now was silently pray that Lin Xuan wouldn't lose too badly later.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Xiong was first taken aback, then revealed a mocking smile.
He had previously thought Lin Xuan was someone he could win over, but it turned out that the other party was a complete idiot from beginning to end.
Even when facing the Vast Sea Saint King, one must act like a hero.
That's absolutely insane!
The Thirty-Third Imperial Princess also scoffed.
So many powerful figures lost, does Lin Xuan really dare to go up there and seek death?
Lin Xuan had been flattering her for quite some time, and honestly, she felt she was the person who understood her best among those present.
Naturally, they also knew just how useless Lin Xuan really was.
Given the opponent's cultivation level, this is tantamount to courting death!
After hearing Lin Xuan's words on the arena, the Nineteenth Imperial Prince did not show disdain, but merely chuckled.
"Interesting."
"Then let me give you a try."
As the battle began, Lin Xuan gazed at the Nineteenth Imperial Prince, whose aura was not prominent but whose sharpness and ambition were faintly revealed, and silently assessed him in his heart.
He doesn't plan to go all out from the start.
He wanted to see just how powerful the legendary Vast Sea Saint King really was!
The Vast Sea Saint King originally didn't care about Lin Xuan.
For him, no one could withstand a single blow from him.
He knew very well that he was now a force that no one present could defeat.
He had assumed that Lin Xuan was no different from the others.
But for some reason, when he actually stood on the opposite side of Lin Xuan, seeing that young man in white robes, who looked like a sword gleaming in the world, was completely different from the rumored appearance, the Nineteenth Imperial Prince suddenly became interested.
He paused slightly.
"Fine, then let me show you..."
After a brief moment of thought, the Nineteenth Imperial Prince...
A serious look appeared in his eyes. He slowly raised his hand and forcefully grasped at the void.
With his movement, a scarlet halberd, exuding a terrifying aura and resembling a demon descending to earth, was pulled from the void.
It was covered in runes, entirely crimson, with a faint Blood Qi emanating from it, which was terrifying.
"This... this is Saint Weapon!"
Those who saw the blood-red halberd all widened their eyes and recognized its true form.
Saint Weapon.
It's definitely Saint Weapon!
This oppressive aura, so strong that even breathing becomes difficult for these lovers, can only be possessed by Saint Weapon!
Seeing this, the Thirty-Five Imperial Princess became even more worried, and even began to despair.
Just now, the Nineteenth Imperial Prince defeated the Eldest Imperial Prince, who had already reached the Saint Realm, without even taking out his Saint Weapon.
And it only took one strike.
Although the Eldest Imperial Prince has barely stepped into the Saint Realm, it is still the Saint Realm!
Now, facing Lin Xuan, who is only at the Thearch Realm, they have taken out Saint Weapon!
How can we fight like this?
Can they even win?
Oh no, oh no, it's all over!
The Thirty-Five Imperial Princess paced anxiously below.
Under the influence of the Saint Weapon, Lin Xuan would likely be crippled even if he didn't die.
What should we do about the ensuing struggle?
"Idiot!"
The Thirty-Third Imperial Princess, who had been keeping a close eye on the arena, instantly felt relieved and crossed her arms with a cold smile.
"That's practically suicide."
She still harbored a slight worry, wondering if Lin Xuan might turn the tables and emerge victorious.
In retrospect, it was all just my overthinking.
Too.
How could a mere Thearch Realm expert possibly defeat Saint Realm?
No one had high hopes for Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan didn't care about what others thought.
He recognized it the moment the Nineteenth Imperial Prince drew the blood-red halberd.
This halberd was the blood-red halberd he had seen in the main hall before entering the illusion.
However, compared to the others, the current crimson halberd is more complete, filled with spiritual light, its crimson color shimmering, and faintly imbued with life.
But the one he saw at the time was shattered and stuck diagonally in front of the coffin, as if it were a broken weapon that would rather die than give up its master.
It's unknown what kind of great battle it went through to shatter this blood-red halberd into such a state...
Lin Xuan knew at a glance that this crimson halberd could clearly absorb Blood Qi and repair itself, yet it ended up in such a state...
Before thinking about the illusion, Lin Xuan was slightly distracted.
The Nineteenth Imperial Prince frowned slightly.
How could he not have noticed Lin Xuan's distraction?
In an instant, the Nineteenth Imperial Prince felt a surge of displeasure, but now that the Saint Weapon was unsheathed and no blood had been drawn, how could he turn back?
He closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them, a fierce look flashing across his face as he gripped the blood-red halberd in his hand and gathered his strength behind him.
Then he threw it out with a bang!
As the halberd fell, the entire sky seemed to tilt, then pressed down, carrying Desolate Ancient and mighty power, surging towards Lin Xuan with the force of a collapsing sky!
boom!
The earth was shaking, cracking, and trembling.
The officials, their eyes filled with barely suppressed terror, nearly rose to their feet and fled for their lives.
Fortunately, they knew that the Nineteenth Imperial Prince's attack was not aimed at them, which allowed them to barely stay in their seats.
I'm still shaken.
If that blow landed, the person hit would probably be reduced to ashes!
To everyone's horror, the blood-stained halberd fell to the ground.
boom!
but...
But it wasn't the scene everyone imagined.
Lin Xuan, who was being charged straight at by the blood-red halberd, raised his eyes and stared at the halberd tip that was thrusting towards him, his expression calm and composed.
He raised one arm and held it horizontally in front of him, forcefully blocking the Nineteenth Imperial Prince's attack in a manner that everyone thought was impossible.
And... not a single step back!
Even though the ground around him was cracked and sunken, and the arena was covered with deep cracks that spread in all directions, Lin Xuan, who stood in the middle, remained unmoved, like an ancient pine tree that never swayed.
"What?"
At this moment, even the Nineteenth Imperial Prince almost lost his composure. The calmness on his face shattered in an instant, and he frowned in confusion.
While he merely expressed some doubt, the others reacted with much more excitement.
"How... how is this possible?"
Ye Yan suddenly stood up, gripping the railing tightly with both hands, almost rushing onto the arena.
His face was filled with panic and confusion, making him the most unacceptable presence in the crowd.
Even the Eldest Imperial Prince and he couldn't withstand that attack...
Lin Xuan?
This incompetent good-for-nothing?
They actually managed to catch it!?
