Chapter 452: The Emperors Opinion And Public Will! (2/2)

“Muyang——” Lu Qingming, holding his hands in fists, looked at his son with a worried face. He knew that he was not badly wounded because if any one of the three swords had struck Li Muyang, then he would have been killed already.

But the more he thought, the more worried he was.

Because Li Muyang was still alive, there was hope as long as he was alive.

But this hope——also makes people despair.

Lu Qingming clenched his fists, stormed over to the battle platform, and fell to his knees with a thud in front of the West Wind emperor Chu Xianda.

Thud——

Lu Qingming's huge body knelt down on the stone platform, crunching the snow on the ground.

Lu Qingming's eyes were red as he raised his head. He requested in a hoa.r.s.e voice: “Your Majesty, can you put a stop to this battle?”

“Qingming, what are you doing?” Chu Xianda first glanced at Lu Xingkong, then asked in a loud voice.

“Your Majesty, at this point in the battle, Li Muyang has already shown remarkable combat ability and cultivation talent. Even Old immortal said he had met his 'match', which shows how excellent Li Muyang is. Li Muyang is the Li Muyang of Starry Sky Academy, the Li Muyang of my West Wind Kingdom, and the Li Muyang of Your Majesty. As Your Majesty has just said, the West Wind is founded by martial arts, and there are many commendations and gifts to those who practice martial arts. But why is that Li Muyang is treated like this?”

Lu Qingming slammed his head against the stone ground.

Because the force was too fierce and he did not want to use the essential qi to protect his body, Lu Qingming's forehead was dripping blood. He ignored it and cried, “Li Muyang is still young, he has a lot of room for growth, let him practice for another 3-5 years in Starry Sky Academy and he would become a pillar of West Wind. Perhaps he could protect the people of a city, or ensure peace at the frontier. Your Majesty, you only need to give him some time, give him a few years, then he can serve your majesty——I ask Your Majesty to cease the battle.”

“I ask your Majesty to cease the battle.” Behind Lu Qingming, General Long Qi also knelt down, asking for an imperial order.

“I ask your Majesty to cease the battle.” Behind Lu Qingming, the mighty general Cai Yueguan also knelt down.

“I ask your Majesty to cease the battle.”

Thud——

Behind Lu Qingming, all the Generals of the Lu family all fell to their knees.

“I ask Your Majesty to cease the battle.

Thud——

Around the Sword G.o.d Square, all the people who could not bear to see Li Muyang killed were all on their knees.

Millions of people united in one purpose.

Many people had knelt down just to ask for the battle to stop, ask to not kill Li Muyang.

Chu Xianda was hesitant, his gaze s.h.i.+fting between Lu Qingming and Lu Xingkong who was sat next to him. He suspected that the old fellow next to him had ordered his son to act this way.

After a long while, Chu Xianda looked at Lu Xingkong and asked, “Defense minister, what do you think?”

“Your Majesty, the public will can't be ignored.” Lu Xingkong pointed to the generals and the civilians, who were kneeling all over the Sword G.o.d Square.

He got up from his chair and then knelt down in front of Chu Xianda.

“I ask Your Majesty to issue an imperial order to cease the battle.”

“This——” Chu Xianda's expression rapidly changed, and then he finally made up his mind: “Since everyone has this request, then I——”

“Your Majesty—“ Prince Fu smiled, looking at Chu Xianda, “Your Majesty, a battle is a matter of two people. Your Majesty, why not ask Old immortal? If Old immortal also feels that this battle should end, then it is not too late for Your Majesty to do so.”

“Yes, Your majesty. Old Immortal rarely comes out, if the battle was to end like that——he would certainly be unhappy. If this worldly affair were to affect his cultivation, then it would be a great loss to West wind.” Cui Xichen also dissuaded him.

“Your Majesty, please think twice.”

Chu Xianda was helpless.

One side were the military generals, and the other side were the civilian court officials. Adding to this the Still water sword school was the Imperial Sword school. He had to give face to the Still water sword school, and even more had to give face to Old immortal——

Chu Xianda rose to his feet and looked at Mu Dingyi in the sky, asking, “Old immortal Mu, all people have asked me to cease the battle, may you wish to agree to their request?”

“If I agreed to their request, my thoughts will be unclear and muddled.” Mu Dingyi replied, his face expressionless.

He looked at Li Muyang, saying “Do you dare to receive another sword of mine?”

“Don't dare.” Li Muyang stated in a loud voice. “Who doesn't know that Old immortal of Still water is unbeatable. Since you say it is the last sword, then the power of the last sword will certainly be stronger than the previous swords——It was already incredibly difficult for me to receive the previous swords, and several times it almost landed on my head. If I don't have to take the last sword, then I naturally would be ecstatic.”

“Besides——” Li Muyang continued, pointing to the kneeling crowd on the Sword G.o.d Square, “Public will is hard to ignore. Everyone wants this fight to stop, everyone wants Li Muyang to live, even His Majesty said a few words to save the little life of Li Muyang——I would like to courageously shout 'I dare'. But how could I be so impulsive? How could I treat my life as a joke? And how could you I let down those who knelt down for me?”

“So, Old immortal Mu, please have mercy on me?”

“——” Mu Dingyi stared at Li Muyang, regretting why he didn't issue his last sword earlier.

He planned to force Li Muyang to take up the challenge in front of everyone, and then kill him with one sword.

In that case, even if he died, then it would be his fault, his decision. Even the West Wind Emperor Chu Xianda could not do anything at that time.

What youngster doesn't have a bit of a temper?

What he didn't expect was that Li Muyang would be so 'spiritless'.

To think that Li Muyang would force him to cease the battle with public will and the Emperor's opinion, and to have mercy on him

If he did not show mercy, that would be going against the public will and the Emperor's opinion——

Mu Dingyi's heart was like water.

Like boiling hot water.
