Xiang Shaolong could not help but asked Lord Changping about Yan Du Lord Changping happily explained: “This hters of Yan We have no idea that he ca City with Prince Dan It is ru and can cut open ss that are flying in ood he is”
Xiang Shaolong took a closer look at Yan Du Yan Du is a tall and thin man with a lu with energy and he is around the age of twenty five He is not considered a handsome man but has an extraordinary air around hi about him is that he is clothed fully in yellow With a crooked nose like an eagle, he radiates cal than him In a snohite outfit, his head is tied neatly in a red bun and is half a head taller than the tall Yan Du If Yan Du is a well-prepared fighter, Guan Zhongxie is casual-looking fighter On his arrogant face is an irritating sbut still succumbed to his advances Bothperht
Xiao Pan may not realise that this duel is ulti’s reputation but he did not want Guan Zhongxie to have any chance to show off his skills But with Zhu Ji supporting at the side, he helplessly consented: “The duel is a friendly match and shall cease when a winner has been deterht”
Both men kneeled down and accepted his order However, everyone knows that it is a real duel with real weapons being used It is really hard to avoid injuring the opponent
Soxie smiled: “I do not need the armour Brother Yan, please help yourself”

Everyone was still holding their breaths The first strike is botheach other’s skills The real show is yet to cohtly and guessed that his arxie Yan Du ood martial arts foundation but unfortunately, his opponent is Guan Zhongxie
Gloith confidence, Guan Zhongxie let out a cold snort and sent another strike towards Yan Du Although the attack is similar to the one before, the onlookers can sense that it is an earth-shattering attack that will be quite impossible to defend no matter who you are Yan Du roared and his sword flicked out frostrike with a loud KENG! Despite race the reputation of Yan swordplay Even so, he was shaken and had to take a sxie was about to press on with another attack when Yan Du roared again and took three steps back In his hands, his sword drew circles in the air which reflected the torches Now his sword appears to be on fire It is an a swordplay and everyone finally broke the silence and exploded in loud cheering
Guan Zhongxie did not expect his swordplay to be so exquisite and it prevented hie, he let out a long roar and withdrew his sword He swing it strongly forward like a trail of rainbow and the sword rung loudly as it sliced through the air His pose is awe-inspiring and exudes a Godly aura and a sense of invincibility The feeling is so intense that even Yan Du is affected and his battle strength dropped by twenty percent The teapons clashed in a blink of an eye and they exchanged several strokes spontaneously Like a bolt froht As no one can see their earlier fight very clearly, it is still a mystery who the winner is
Jiang! Guan Zhongxie sheathed his sword Despite both his eyes still focusing on his opponent, his sword accurately entered the tiny gap of his sheathe like a poisonous snake with eyes Everyone was shocked at his gesture while the fe at the top of their voices
Yan Du’s sword is still aixie but his face has turned coe drops of perspiration on his forehead He shook and lowered his sword on the floor, leaning against it like a walking stick It seems like he has over exerted himself On his forehead, there is a horizontal sound It is only a surface wound as Guan Zhongxie has beenscar will only constantly remind Yan Du and the people around him that he was once defeated by this heartless man
Guan Zhongxie cupped his hands: “Thanks for allowing me to win”
Someone came out from the crowd and helped a furious Yan Du out In the xie paid his respects to Xiao Pan and Zhu Ji Prince Dan and Leng Ting maintained a calm expression but Xu Yi Ze and the otherinjury
Lu Buwei laughed loudly: “Guan Zhongxie, you disobeyed the Crown Prince’s order and blood is seen I punish you with this cup of wine”
