"What?" You actually want to bestow that Thunder Slaying Sword to me? "

Hong Yu was shocked and delighted in his heart.

The two treasured swords from before were entangled with lightning, the sword Qis soared into the sky, turning into streaks of light as they shuttled back and forth over a hundred steps. The myriad of mysteries were deeply imprinted into his mind, he never thought that the Celestial Emperor Hongwu would actually say such words!

This was the same as having Old Twenty-Eight cut his flesh and give the treasured sword to his enemy!

However, although he was happy, he did not lose his mind. He pretended to be frightened and waved his hands: "This sword is just a precious bead covered in dust when it falls into my hands. Two treasured swords, extremely precious. With all sorts of strange appearances, I do not dare to snatch the love of twenty-eight brothers! "

"Pretend to be your mother!" "It seems that your heart has been blooming with joy, you damned good-for-nothing fool …"

The 28th Prince's anger was surging. He was constantly cursing and roaring in his heart. His silver teeth were broken, but he just couldn't do anything to Hong Yu. He even had to force his brothers to act harmoniously.

Suppressing his anger, he picked up the sword and handed it to Hong Yu: "No! This sword is indeed worthy of being called a hero, but my thirty-sixth brother must accept this sword, he cannot disappoint royal father's painstaking efforts! "

At this moment, Hong Yu's heart was already filled with joy and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He took a deep breath and finally received the sword, with a face full of unquenchable kindness, and fear: "Twenty-eighth brother, you really are magnanimous. You view treasures as external objects, so what should I do …"

Seeing the two of them decline, the civil and military officials of the imperial court could not help but feel a sense of solemnity as they thought of this' good acting skill '. They could not help but smile and became even more serious!

The two of them had a hatred as deep as the ocean. They had probably silently cursed each other more than a thousand times in their hearts, but they were able to remain calm and even put on a show of brotherly modesty and fraternity. It was simply inconceivable!

The twenty-eight princes had been taught by the forces behind them since they were young. They had this kind of political awareness, so it was understandable. However, the true wisdom that Hong Yu displayed truly frightened the entire imperial court.

"We have a hundred sons, and each of them is extraordinary. Little Thirty-six is outstanding, and Old Twenty-eight is as well! The princes who have ascended to the throne, the palaces, and the constant struggles between the parties, all these are the origins of the successive dynasties of history and should be guarded against. This time, although the old twenty-nine is a little muddle-headed, it still reminds us of something. "

Seeing that, the Great Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction, and then started on the main topic: "I have a hundred sons, although the Crown Prince has established himself, everyone is moved, they covet my position, I want to be the ruler of the world, and wipe out all the abuses that have occurred for the past ten thousand years, and in ten days, the Martial Arts Entrance Ceremony will be held in advance. Outside the mountain, the three barbarians have caused trouble. This time, after the Martial Arts Competition, I want to take Bai Zi in as my personal army. Bai Zi can kill the barbarians and fight for the throne.

In the future, when he rushed to the prince's empire, he could do so as well. However, in the future, if anyone dares to interfere in the matter of seizing the throne and stir up trouble, don't blame me for being impolite. "

As he finished speaking, his killing intent soared to the heavens. Everyone could sense the determination of the Celestial Emperor Hongwu to change the system.

"Father's actions are truly bold!"

Hong Yu quivered and immediately praised: "In the history books, this son has seen, the Ancient Son of Heaven ruling the human world, with the birth of a prince, the Ancient Son of Heaven bestowing the title of king, ruling over the land, governing over the lands for a long period of time, royal father's action is to restore the Ancient Rites, abolish the system of counties, eliminate the calamity caused by the prince's seizing the throne, and even royal father is more imposing than the Ancient Son of heaven, wanting to wipe out the chaos of the Three Barbarians, to start a war and to rule over the entire world. This son is willing to participate in the enthronement ceremony and follow father out to war. As a pawn in front of a horse, I will exterminate the barbarians and establish a border. We will witness the birth of a miracle together! "

"Haha, Little Thirty-Six is right!" "I want to tear the world apart and create a new era that has never been seen before!" He ordered left and right, "Send my orders. Thirty-sixth prince, knowledgeable, knowledgeable in ancient ceremonies, meritorious service done by your mother's tomb, your filial piety is commendable, and you have mastered martial arts, you will be awarded the title of Royal Highness Duke of Guanyu, you will be rewarded with a manor. After the Martial Arts Grand Ceremony, you will be officially appointed as the overseer for the night.

"Thank you Imperial Father, your son is terrified!" Hong Yu suddenly trembled and was ecstatic in his heart. He knew that his gamble was finally correct!

First, he displayed the Heavenly Son Fist Aura, revealing his value. Now, after the Celestial Emperor Hongwu announced the New Deal, he was the first one to receive praise.

The civil and military officials, princes and officials, and even princes and imperial concubines, all had shocked and tongue-tied looks on their faces.

The foolish prince in the eyes of the masses had actually obtained his recognition and soared to the heavens in a single leap!

So far, there were only eight dukes in the Imperial Court, but now that Hong Yu had been conferred the title of 'King Yu', he immediately became the ninth one, suppressing quite a few princes in one fell swoop!

The crux of the matter was that after Hong Yu became a duke, he would be able to open up his residence and build up his family. He would be able to obtain all sorts of jobs, win over ministers, and raise martial arts experts as hanger-ons.

Many of those who had once bullied Hong Yu were now trembling with fear and trepidation. They had already thought of the various kinds of revenge Hong Yu would receive once he gained power!

Even more ambitious princes started to secretly be vigilant.

The thirteen prefectures of Great Hong City were the true center of the continent, a bustling area. No matter what the Great Celestial Emperor Hong Wu said, 'Attack the mountains of the two realms, rule the land, and rule the land', even if he said the words' flowers, he would not be able to shake their true ambitions!

How desolate and barbaric was it to be assigned to the Three Barbarians? Who in the heart of the thirteen prefectures would be able to claim the title of emperor and command the dukes of the various kingdoms to come here with so much power?

However, the first step on the road to becoming the next heir was to become a 'duke'. Only then would one have the qualifications to establish their own power, and their status would be above that of the other princes.

However, Hong Yu had soared up to the heavens in one step and obtained the title of duke that they yearned for in their dreams. He was on par with the other eight dukes and the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, becoming a great opponent on their way to ascending the throne.

"Imperial Father, before this, I had not yet decided the victor of the battle between me and Duke Yu. I am willing to remove the True Martial Seal in my body and cripple my own cultivation. I will once again participate in the Martial Competition. I will once again fight with Duke Yu and decide the victor!"

The twenty-eighth prince stepped forward, his heart's jealousy and hatred towards Hong Yu, he could no longer restrain it. His eyes were cold and his killing intent revealed itself: "I beg for royal father's consent!"

His entire body shook like a sieve, as if an enormous pain had struck his heart and lungs. His expression gradually became malevolent, and with a flash of light, a small, bloody, three-inch token appeared in his hand.

On the token, the words' Zhen Wu 'were engraved on it. Six streams of black infernal energy swirled around and constantly dissipated. The light was incomparably dim. Hong Anshan's aura immediately weakened and he fell to the bottom!

The corners of the mouths of all the ministers and princes twitched, and they were shocked!

Ruthless! Ruthless! Ruthless!

28 Hong Anshan, surprisingly was so ruthless that he destroyed his own martial arts and removed the Zhen Wu imprint from his body, making his cultivation level fall back to the Mortal realm. He wanted to once again participate in the Martial Arts Entrance Ceremony.

He wanted to kill Hong Yu, the newly advanced Duke Yu, in the Martial Competition in broad daylight, and kill him in a sneak attack!

28 Hong Anshan abandoned his martial arts and knelt on the ground. His aura was extremely weak and his face was extremely pale.

However, no one dared to underestimate him. In fact, the fear in their hearts had reached an unprecedented level.

He had removed the True Martial Seal and knocked himself down to the next realm so that he could take revenge on Hong Yu!

It could be seen that his hatred for Hong Yu had absolutely reached a point where even if he poured all three rivers and four seas, it would still be difficult to wash away!

"Good, good, good! I knew that you all are unwilling to accept the title of 'Little Thirty-Six', but I didn't expect that you, twenty-eight years old, would actually be so vicious that you would be willing to cripple your martial arts in order to kill him before he officially opens his residence. Do it again in the Martial Arts Entrance Ceremony! I'm afraid that in the past, everyone has underestimated you! "

The Great Celestial Emperor Teng suddenly stood up, his eyes cold and the golden canopy behind him swaying crazily: "You are plotting to use everything you have to force our hand! "However, I am not as good as you. Since you removed the True Martial Seal, you should be a cripple in the Mortal realm. You will never be able to participate in the Martial Arts Entrance Ceremony!"

"Plop ~ ~ ~"

All of the civil and military officials were so frightened that they quickly kneeled down.

They could tell that the Celestial Emperor Hong Wu was truly infuriated.

The moment the Son of Heaven became angry, millions of corpses would be buried!

No one dared to touch Hong Wu Tian's dragon whiskers!

Everyone looked at Old Twenty-Eight with a trace of sympathy in their eyes!

He was ruthless enough, but it was too overbearing. When Heavenly Emperor Hongwu had just conferred the title of duke to Hongyu, he had immediately jumped out and crippled his own martial arts, threatening to fight him fair and square in the Martial Competition. This action of his was simply embarrassing the Celestial Emperor Hongwu!

He had never thought that the Hongwu Heavenly Emperor would not let him participate in the Martial Competition in the future. Not only would Hong Yu not kill him, he would never be able to recover his cultivation and would only be a trash of the Mortal realm for the rest of his life!

This move directly cut off all hope for him!

The brilliance of Celestial Emperor Hongwu was immediately displayed.

28 Hong Anshan's eyes dimmed as he heard this, and he sat on the ground paralyzed. He felt that the world was spinning, and the sun and moon were without light. His face became more and more pale.

He knew that he would be stuck at the Mortal realm for his entire life; what kind of feeling was that? All of his resources would probably be taken away, and so would his eighth brother. His position would plummet, and he would even be comparable to Hong Yu, who had been pretending to be dumb for five years!

No, it was definitely worse than Hong Yu, because he was acting without restraint, relying on the support of the Mu Family and the Eighth Brother, cultivating the Demon Mountain Scripture, and gathering the White Bone Devil Mountain. Who knew how many enemies he had secretly set up, so if he lost his power, he would instantly be eaten by those hidden enemies!

Seeing his behavior, a trace of pity for the same disease suddenly flashed through Hong Yu's heart.

He even wanted to cripple his own martial arts and fight me fair and square. I also have the heart to win, and I am willing to accept the challenge, but I beg my royal father to forgive my twenty-eight brothers, and give him a chance, so that he and I can step into the Martial Arts Ceremony together, and in this battle, I can help my royal father to improve himself! "

These words were like a thunderbolt that struck the ground, causing everyone to suck in a breath of cold air: "Sssssss, this kid is not simple, he is actually willing to plead for the elder 28 and is even willing to create an opportunity. The two of them will have a fair fight. This kind of magnanimity, can devour dragons and tigers, can it be big!"

When everyone heard Hong Yu's words, they immediately had a whole new level of respect for him. Some wanted to befriend him, some wanted to latch onto him, and there were even some who were full of killing intent and were deeply afraid …

Upon hearing this, Celestial Emperor Hongwu had a surprised look on his face, "Alright, since you are one of the parties involved, I have nothing to say, I shall pardon the twenty-eighth brother. I will watch, you, as a noble duke under the title of Emperor, will rely on your strength to support the Emperor for nine days, using your great strength to suppress all of your brothers, making them speechless!"

"Old twenty-eight, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking. You're cultivating the Devil Mountain Scripture, and you're taking a different path, and you're already on the road to death, and you're crippling your own martial arts so you might not have no intention of cultivating anew. I'm afraid that there's no fool in my son's world who isn't ruthless, and his heart is also very deep, and since you want to fight, then I'll give you a chance to decide whether you're a dragon or a bug, for one!"

"I never thought that royal father would actually be able to see through the meaning behind my words. His words are also hinting to me and old thirty-six that if I were to kill old thirty-six in the Martial Competition, it might not be impossible for me to replace him and become the 'Duke An'!"

Hearing this, the 28th Brother became a little unnatural. Looking at Hong Yu, his eyes were suffused with a cold killing intent: "You are so merciful!" You think that if you help me beg for mercy, I will feel grateful in my heart, but I still have to tell you, if you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed instead. I will take away all your glory during the Martial Competition, and let you die in a state of ecstasy and despair! "

Hong Yu had long since anticipated Qin Lie's sinister gaze. He could not help but sneer coldly as killing intent radiated from him.

"Alright, officials, I have said enough today, I hope you can be diligent in handling matters, the martial arts competition is coming soon, you should all be well-prepared. This time's martial arts competition is related to our national policy of conquest of the Three Barbarians, it has a far-reaching impact, in the martial arts ceremony, our potential performance is exceptionally outstanding, and we can grant you a license to enter the imperial palace to choose any treasure or technique!" "As long as our performance is outstanding enough, we will be able to receive your help. As long as we have enough military merits, we will not be stingy with our rewards, and we will be able to be kings paying respects, splitting the land and sealing the borders, and be rich and powerful for tens of thousands of years!"

"Yes, your son (humble subject) obeys the decree!"

Everyone's eyes were blazing with passion. It was obvious that they had been tempted by the words of the Celestial Emperor Hongwu!
