"Argh!"
Jian Zhang stabbed the sword multiple times into the body of someone who was already defenseless.
The hall that was once been majestic and luxurious had now turned into a bloody field. Several bodies lay lifeless. The head guard's head rolled out of nowhere. And Jian Zhang continued to hunt down the remaining guards.
The situation was chaotic. Only a few ministers remained. They looked at Jian Zhang with appraising eyes. However, some of them were not Jian Zhang's supporters.
"Stop it!" A youth jumped up and stood behind Jian Zhang.
That young man was Genji Zhang, the eldest prince born from the womb of a concubine. Currently, he occupies the position of crown prince. He had dominant influence in the kingdom. All his supporters were predicted him to be the successor of the emperor.
"If I don't stop, what will you do?" Jian Zhang turned his head. "Are you going to kill me?" Jian Zhang's gaze challenging his older brother.
"How dare he challenge Genji!" Jun Zhang, the third son, commented. "He will only find his death!"
They were brothers, but neither of them acted like brothers. People who are called brothers only side with brothers who provide benefits.
"He had been missing for 4 years. Looks like he's still as stupid as he used to be." Lei Zhang, the second son, also commented.
Only a level 5 or 6 martial artist could match the eldest brother's strength. Genji Zhang was one of the 5th level martial arts masters in the Zhang kingdom. Someone like Jian Zhang was nothing. He couldn't possibly match Genji's strength.
Genji Zhang swung his sword. He accepted the challenge.
"Please stop Prince Genji, Your Majesty." Xue Fen pleaded.
Everyone knows Genji is a level 5 martial artist. Wouldn't it be worth it if Genji fought her son?
There are 9 levels of martial arts.
Level 9 can be called the God Level. But in history, there was only one person who was to reach level 9, and after 100 million years later, no one had reached that level.
Level 8, the most difficult level that is impossible for ordinary humans to achieve. There are two people who are to break through this level, and they are people in the Western Hemisphere. The kingdom is known as the Winter Kingdom.
And for levels 7 to 1, those who are persistent and thirsty for strength can achieve it. Emperor Gao Zhang was a level 7 martial artist, the highest level in his country.
"Your Majesty." Xue Fen called out in a frustrated voice. "This fight is not worth it. How can Jian Zhang go against Prince Genji, Your Majesty?"
However, Gao Zhang looked calm. He didn't seem to care about the level difference.
"Jian Zhang started this fight first. Then he must solve the problem himself." The emperor said like he wanted Jian Zhang lost.
The fight between the two sons will show who is worthy of the position of crown prince.
Seeing the panicked and worried look on the empress's face made Li Wei smile. Her son is the strongest young man in the kingdom. Li Wei knows that very well.
"I'll send you back to hell again!" With a stomp on the ground, Genji Zhang ran as fast as lightning. A speed that the naked eye cannot see.
Genji Zhang is the pride of the kingdom, the pride of Gao Zhang. Even though Jian Zhang was also the emperor's son, it was Genji who had the emperor's full support.
Genji Zhang swung his sword without hesitation. Jian Zhang suddenly made a move. The man was moving fast, so fast that Genji Zhang couldn't see him, even though Jian Zhang was in front of him.
Those in the room were flabbergasted. Jian Zhang's speed exceeded that of a level 5 martial expert.
Xue Fen who was worried earlier was stunned to see her son. Then she remembered what she said 4 years ago.
'Come back and be the strongest man in the country.'
Did her son really keep that promise?
Jian Zhang suddenly appeared from above the air. He swung his sword vigorously. The gust of wind that blew made light objects fly.
The pressure generated by the swing of Jian Zhang's hand was so strong made Genji Zhang's body feel heavy and difficult to move.
Genji Zhang is in a dangerous position. How could he not notice that Jian Zhang was there? Jian Zhang's movements were very smooth and thin until he couldn't figure it out.
The moves performed by Jian Zhang were unfamiliar with martial arts from the Zhang kingdom.
Li Wei who thought her son would bring victory stood up. She looked at Gao Zhang worriedly.
"Your Majesty, please stop this fight. This is unfair. We don't know Jian Zhang's strength." She begged.
Previously, Xue Fen's request was ignored, but apparently not's request. Gao Zhang suddenly stood up, giving orders in his heavy voice.
"Stop Jian Zhang!" he ordered.
Hearing the order, Jian Zhang turned his sword on the blunt side. However, his father's orders didn't really stop him.
*Crack*
The sound of bones breaking was loud and painful.
"Argh!" Genji Zhang screamed in pain.
He immediately lay on the floor, clutching his broken shoulder. While Jian Zhang was staring at his father, he heard everything. His father ignored his mother's request.
People stared in disbelief at Jian Zhang. What power did Jian Zhang use against Genji Zhang? What level is Jian Zhang currently at?
"Genji, My Son!" Li Wei shouted as she approached her son. "Call the royal healer," she orders. She looked hatefully at Jian Zhan.
Xue Fen also walked over to her son worriedly. She touched her son to check if he was injured.
"I'm fine, Mother."
Jian Zhang smiled widely as he wiped his slightly sweaty face. The powerful scent of blood made Jian Zhang slightly dizzy. The hunger that had been gone before suddenly reappeared.
Xue Fen looked at Jian Zhang. There was a strangeness in her son's irises, which had turned dark red to black. The original color of her son's eyes.
"You must be punished, Jian Zhang!" Li Wei shouted. She did not accept Jian Zhang's actions.
"I've asked to stop this match, but Your Honour didn't say a word. It's not my son's fault!" Xue Fen defended her son.
Li Wei silence. No one knows how this will turn out. Her son being defeated by Jian Zhang was beyond her expectation. But Li Wei will not stop, she will do whatever it takes to punish Jiang.
Li Wei ran into the emperor's arms. "Your Majesty, do justice to my son."
"He had injured his own brother. This is a terrible crime, Your Majesty." Li Wei continued to blame Jian Zhang.
Whereas during the match earlier, Genji Zhang also did not hesitate to swing his sword at Jian Zhang.
"Meet me in the punishment room," Gao Zhang ordered his son.
"I know that young man!" Gu Chai who was watching closely, finally remembered that day.
Lei Zhang and Jun Zhang looked at the young man. The three of them are close friends.
"He's the young man I told you about a few days ago." Gu Chai said.
The young man who broke one of his servant's arms and possessed unusual strength.
"Really?" Lei Zhang's brows pulled up, unsure of Gu Chai's words.
"Of course, I can't be wrong! I can recognize him well, even though the appearance of the two is very different!"
