Chapter 457: Ming Dong Pays a Visi (1/2)
t
The two soldiers didn’t anticipate that Jian Chen would actually fight back, and the azure and violet Sword Qi was extremely fast as well. They had no time to dodge at all, so their palms were instantly skewered through with the Sword Qi, staining the area with blood.
The two men instantly looked shocked as the sudden pain in their palms caused them to cry out involuntarily. They couldn’t believe what had happened as they looked down at their own hands in surprise. Neither of them had expected the fourth master to be so capable.
Although they were shocked, they weren’t yet afraid of him. Even after taking the first loss, they didn’t have any desire to retreat just yet. A large amount of Saint Force flowed out from the both of them to form their Saint Weapons. Grabbing them, they stabbed out at Jian Chen.
The instant the two guards formed their Saint Weapons, the second prince quickly retreated back in fright. He clearly understood their strengths, and he didn’t think that the fourth master of the Changyang clan would be able to force them to bring out their Saint Weapons. This event to him only served to scare him.
Still sitting in the stone chair, Jian Chen’s eyes showed contempt as he looked at the two guards striking at him. His hand waved gently, causing Sword Qi to shoot out from his fingers, slamming into the two Saint Weapons.
When the azure and violet Sword Qi made contact, the two guards shook from the blow as a tremendous energy vibrated through their Saint Weapons and made their entire right arm go numb. Their arms felt heavy as they tried to hold their Saint Weapon and their feet were dragged back away from the pavilion.
The second prince looked at the two guards in shock. His expression revealed his astonishment. While he expected Jian Chen to react, he hadn’t expected to see such a result like this. His two guards were both Earth Saint Masters, so none of the three had expected any resistance.
The sounds of battle had been heard by the princess who was appreciating the flowers from some distance away. Quickly hurrying on over, her eyes hovered over the broken stone table and asked, “What has happened for a fight to suddenly take place?”
Standing up from his chair, Jian Chen walked to the side of the pavilion with his arms by his side. Looking at the second prince, Jian Chen spoke calmly, “Your Highness, you should understand that a loose tongue invites trouble. I hope that you will take notice of what you say. This world is not the world of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom.”
The second prince’s face grew extremely dark as he listened to Jian Chen, “A loose tongue invites trouble, those are smart words. Changyang Xiangtian, this prince will remember those words. The future is long, we will wait and see what happens next.” After those words, the second prince and his two guards left the place in a saddened state.
Looking at the second prince retreat, Jian Chen had a faint cold smile on his face. The Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was not something he could bother with.
The princess had a complicated stare as she looked at Jian Chen before walking to his side, “Changyang Xiangtian, he is the prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom and this is the imperial palace of the Gesun Kingdom. Would this not attract trouble?”
“There’s no need to worry, I know what the appropriate behavior will be. If trouble truly does come, I will bear responsibility.” Jian Chen spoke flatly.
“That wasn’t my intention…” The princess tried to explain but was then interrupted by Jian Chen, “Princess You Yue, we should return now.”
The second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was without a doubt one of the most heavily watched people within the imperial palace. Not too long after Jian Chen and the princess had left, the news that the second prince had suffered a loss in the flower garden had made its way to the ears of those people with influence. Even Changyang Ba and Bi Yuntian who were chatting with the king had heard the news along with the other officials and the princes of the imperial palace.
Within a splendid and luxuriously decorated palace room, three youths in their twenties sat by each other and were eating merrily. On the table, all sorts of exotic delicacies could be seen.
Suddenly, a soldier came running into the room and spoke several words into the ears of two of the youths.
Straight away, the two youths had shocked expressions flash over their faces. With a wave of their hand to dismiss the guard, they grew even more serious.
“Princes, what has happened?” The other youth asked in confusion.
“The guards just sent us news that the fourth master of the Changyang clan has offended the second prince of the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. This isn’t good, the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom isn’t a kingdom we can stand to offend.” One of the princes spoke.
“What? Changyang Xiangtian?” The third youth spoke in surprise before revealing a happy smile, “Could it be that the fourth master, Changyang Xiangtian has returned?’
“That’s correct. Changyang Xiangtian has only just returned, we only just received information of that not too long ago. Seeing brother Ming Dong’s expression, could it be that you know him?” The other prince spoke.
Ming Dong nodded his head, “I didn’t think he would return that quickly, and to the imperial palace no less. Fellow princes, I will be taking my leave first then.” With that, Ming Dong quickly left the two princes sitting by the table with looks of surprise and disbelief.
