Chapter 86 Duan Qi is defeated, the Empress enters the scene.
Not only the King of Song and his entourage, but also Empress Fuyao, Crown Prince Zhou, and the other retainers at the highest level were all shocked.
He actually possesses seven spirit weapons at the level of a weapon master.
If these were just ordinary seven-piece weapon-level spirit weapons, that would be one thing, but these are a complete set. Crafting a complete set of these combined spirit weapons is far more difficult than crafting a single spirit weapon of the same level.
What is his background?
Could he be the successor of some old man?
Empress Fuyao and Crown Prince Zhou both thought of the old monsters in the Senluo Palace.
Upon seeing the seven Soul Banners, Duan Qi was terrified. However, he was now in a precarious situation and had no choice but to accept defeat. Empress Fuyao had ordered people to heal his injuries and even bestowed medicine to enhance his cultivation. He couldn't just admit defeat like that, could he? If he did, Murong Ya's wrath would be directed at him.
With no other option, Duan Qi could only grit his teeth and continue the fight.
The light from his storage ring flashed, and four beams of azure light flew out of the ring, transforming into four warriors clad in azure armor.
These four armored warriors held longswords, their armor gleaming with silver light, but they were all expressionless, devoid of any living presence, and looked exactly alike, making it immediately obvious that they were puppets.
Puppets are not uncommon; there are even puppeteers on the Yunlan Continent who specialize in using puppets in battle. Duan Qi is not a puppeteer, but his four puppets are all at the early stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm. The appearance of these four puppets shocked everyone in the stands.
"Four puppets at the Spirit Emperor realm! My God!"
"What? Those four puppets are at the Spirit Emperor realm?"
"Did Grand Master Duan have such a trump card?"
The crowd stirred.
Actually, these four puppets didn't belong to Duan Qi; they were lent to him by Empress Fuyao. Murong Ya knew that Duan Qi might not be a match for Prince Li He of Yue, so she lent him these four puppets as a precaution.
If it's a loan, then it definitely has to be returned. As for whether Duan Qi would take the four puppets and run away, even abandoning his position as Grand Master of the Song Kingdom, Murong Ya hadn't considered that possibility.
Duan Qi wasn't that stupid. He wasn't the true master of these four puppets. If Empress Fuyao wanted to kill him, she could do so with a single thought, and those four puppets would eliminate him. Besides, he didn't have the ability to remove the restrictions imposed on these four puppets by a Spirit Venerable-level expert.
Duan Qi's silver-white robe fluttered, his whole body surrounded by silver light, making him look divine and majestic. Together with the four Spirit Emperor Realm puppets beside him, he seemed like a god. His aura caused the entire arena to shake violently, and the surrounding audience held their breath.
However, in just a moment, their vision was blocked by the Seven Soul Banners.
The Seven Soul Banners surrounded Duan Qi and the four puppets. The huge banners released a large amount of red mist, which permeated the entire arena, not only obscuring everyone's vision but also blocking their divine senses.
After the seven Soul Banners surrounded Duan Qi, they formed a circle and began to spin rapidly. As they spun, countless ghostly wails and howls rang out, the wailing of billions of souls. Even Duan Qi, a powerful expert at the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Emperor Realm, could not help but be shaken.
In his field of vision, the surrounding scenery had already changed, and he was now in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Four puppets protected him, and countless souls clamored around him. White bones piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like a sea. Suddenly, the bone mountain collapsed, the sea of blood surged into giant waves, and a coffin a hundred feet tall appeared.
The coffin was covered with countless yellow talismans, and the talismans were written with runes in blood. He had never seen the runes before, and he didn't know what kind of script they were or what era they came from.
The moment the coffin appeared, he was terrified and his heart turned cold. A powerful early-stage Spirit Emperor was so terrified that he couldn't move. What was this thing?
His eyes widened.
What is sealed inside?
The coffin trembled and rattled, and the yellow talismans fluttered like butterflies in the sky. The coffin slowly opened, and a beam of blood-red light shot out from inside. Duan Qi's entire vision turned blood red. He couldn't see anything, but his internal organs were severely injured, and he let out a miserable scream.
The screams, filled with deep fear, echoed throughout the entire Shenwu Stage, sending chills down the spines of everyone in the stands.
By the time he came to his senses, everything had returned to normal.
The surroundings were deathly silent; most of the red mist had dissipated, revealing the scene on the arena.
The young monarch, with black hair and a black robe, stood in mid-air, behind him seven banners that resembled a giant screen, emitting a hazy red light and surrounded by red mist. On the ground, an elderly man in a silver-white robe knelt on one knee, coughing up blood, his face as pale as paper, clearly severely injured.
What... what exactly is going on?
No one saw what just happened, not even Empress Fuyao and the others at the highest point. They only saw the red mist enveloping the area, from which Duan Qi let out a scream, and then after most of the red mist disappeared, they saw the scene before them.
How exactly did the King of Yue severely injure Duan Qi?
"teacher--"
When the King of Song saw Duan Qi vomiting blood, he stood up with concern.
Drip, drip, bright red blood dripped onto the arena.
Duan Qi stood up, and seeing that Gu Yan had lost all will to fight, he said, "I concede."
Although he hadn't used those four puppets yet, he understood that it was pointless; continuing would only lead to defeat. He couldn't win; the gap in skill was too vast. His opponent had already shown mercy. Otherwise, he would already be a corpse, perhaps even his soul would have become one of those soul banners.
In this situation, he was no longer afraid of offending Empress Fuyao.
If we fight again and risk our lives, why should we be afraid of offending anyone?
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Duan Qi has admitted defeat?
The Yue Kingdom won.
Before anyone could react, Duan Qi had vanished from the arena and returned to King Song's side. King Song quickly helped him up and took out some pills from his storage ring. Duan Qi readily admitted defeat and left, not even accepting the four puppets given to him by Empress Fuyao, leaving them behind on the field.
Dead!
After a moment of deathly silence, the crowd began to stir.
My goodness, the King of Yue is too strong!
No one could have predicted that the battle would end so quickly. Empress Fuyao Murong Ya hadn't expected it, nor had her high-ranking officials, nor even the Crown Prince Zhou who had come to join the fun. No one had anticipated it. But now, everyone stared in horror at the black figure on the field.
The Spirit Emperor Realm experts were all wary. How exactly did he manage to severely injure Duan Qi?
After the initial shock, the people of Yue were overjoyed. A young official excitedly told those around him, "We've won! His Majesty has won!"
The person next to him was also extremely excited:
"His Majesty won! He won!"
Huo Yun, Gao Changqing, and the others were trembling with excitement. His Majesty had won! He had won!
clap clap clap-
A round of applause erupted, emanating from the highest throne. The applause came from Empress Fuyao, Murong Ya. All eyes turned to her. Murong Ya looked down at Gu Yan, who had already landed, and her voice carried to everyone's ears:
"King Yue, you have quite the skill. You defeated Duan Da Gongfeng so easily. I would also like to experience your superior skills firsthand."
After saying that, Murong Ya stood up.
What?
Everyone's expression changed.
