Gan Yuxuan also didn't expect that the first person to come out would be Zhong Da, the old military region. He'd thought that none of the generals of the military region would show up and show their loyalty to him with King Leng Xiao's match.

"This subject has long heard that the experts at His Highness's side are as numerous as the clouds, and there are many valiant and brave generals. I humbly request that His Highness send out the warrior generals at his side, this subject is willing to experience a few moves."

The moment Zhong Da said this, King Lu's eyes became even gloomier as he coldly stared at Zhong Da.

This person was publicly rebutting his reputation, obviously showing that he didn't put him in his eyes. Fighting with his subordinates would only make things difficult for him.

"Impudent, Zhongda, how dare you be impolite in front of His Highness!"

Gan Zhixuan reprimanded coldly.

Zhong Da hastily lifted up his clothes and knelt on one knee, lowering his head deeply, "This lowly general knows his wrongs, please forgive me, my lord. This lowly general is a barbarian, I have always known that His Highness has many valiant warriors and generals by his side, therefore I did not consider it when I spoke. If no one from your Highness has come out to fight against this lowly general, this lowly general will not dare to ask for it. "

These words made King Lu laugh sinisterly. If he didn't send those beside him tonight, then it would be because he was afraid of Zhong Da. As a noble prince, when had anyone dared to be so impudent in front of him?

"Insolent, you still have the guts to say so much, why aren't you apologizing to His Highness?"

"Yes, your subject knows his crimes. Your subject is a crude military man, if you don't know the rules, your highness, please forgive me."

Zhongda bowed his head in greeting to King Lu, but his expression was one of unyielding arrogance. His gaze swept over the people next to King Lu and contained a hint of disdain. Only then did he slowly lower his head.

"Your Highness, please forgive us, but these people are all military men, and they are the ones who fought in the battlefield today." Your Highness, please forgive us, but these people are all military men.

Gan Yuxuan didn't blame Zhongda for his actions. He understood that Zhongda's actions were out of respect for King Qinguang, so he expressed his loyalty to him.

"Marquis Qing Tian, you worry too much. How could This King blame Zhongda for such a small matter? I've long heard that General Zhongda is a fierce general. Anyone who goes out to accompany him will be able to learn a few moves.

The words of the Law King were already extremely heavy. The people around him couldn't help but look at each other. This time going out to compete with Zhong Da was the best, they mustn't lose to him.

Winning Zhongda, and even severely injuring him, were all nothing. The Law King would certainly bestow a great reward. However, as long as one was not a match for Zhong Da, the Law King might not say anything on the spot.

Their gazes were all fixed on Zhong Da. They calculated their chances of winning against this famous and fearless general of the Northern Frontier and couldn't help but hesitate.

"What, is there no one who can step down when This King is surrounded by trash?"

King Lu looked back, his gloomy eyes sweeping over the people behind him, bringing with him a faint sense of anger.

Seeing their master angry, no one dared to remain silent. Following King Lu's gaze, their hearts couldn't help but tremble. The gaze of the Law King finally landed on a person. That person hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed. "Your subordinate is willing to compete with General Zhongda, and asks for Lord's permission."

"Yes."

King Lu slightly nodded, retracting his gaze. "Don't embarrass this king."

That person's heart sank. This contest could only be won, not lost. Otherwise, if he went back, he would definitely be ruthlessly punished by King Lu.

Zhongda gripped the sheath beneath his ribs and slowly stood up from the ground. He coldly stared at the person who had walked out from behind the Law King.

Today, he had to defeat this person and lose face for the Law King. Even if it would offend the Law King. This was a contest between two people in public, and even the Law King couldn't do anything to him in front of everyone.

This was the only way that he could show the loyalty and respect of the military region's generals towards Gan Gongxuan. He did not care about offending the law king; after all, he would have to serve under him in the future. Back then, King of Law colluded with the low and fresh races to besiege and attack the Military Region, and there was also the death of Helian Shan. He hated King of Law to death.

Zhongda had always believed that in the end, when Helian Shan was ambushed and killed by an expert from the Central Plains pretending to be a lowly person, it was all because of the King of Law.

It was a pity that he was only a great general, a minor official. King Lu was a noble prince, so it was impossible for him to do anything to King Lu. Otherwise, he wished for nothing more than to pounce on him and kill this gloomy, cunning, and cold, and ruthless Law King first to take revenge for Helian Shan.

"Your Highness, Lord, spears and sabers are blind. If Your Highness' men injured Zhongda, or even killed him, it would be because Zhongda is inexperienced, so there won't be half a word of complaint. If Zhong Da accidentally injures one of your highness's men, then he won't be able to bear the consequences. "

Zhongda bowed as he spoke, staring at the Law King.

If he wasn't sure, he couldn't act as he pleased. He wanted the Law King to speak, fight on the field, and disregard life and death. Although this kind of competition was mostly just sparring between the two, no one would try to kill the other, but tonight was different.

He wanted to kill this person with a wave of anger.

"Impudent, is it even possible for you to injure the people at his side?"

Gan Yuxuan reprimanded, then slightly turned his head to look at King Lu. "Your Highness, although Zhongda is a crude person, his words are reasonable. "In the end, we might as well have them fight using weapons that can truly kill without having any eyes left on them, so as to avoid losing."

"Since it's a contest, of course we have to use real weapons. If this king's people lose, even if they die, it will be because he is weak. We cannot blame others. Of course, if you injure someone in the Military Region, I wonder what Helian Qing Yu will say. "

"Zhongda is the subordinate of Marquis Qingtian. If he follows his orders, regardless of whether he lives or dies, if Zhongda loses, he will die with no regrets!"

Gan Xian's profound gaze turned deeper. The Law King had repeatedly brought up Helian Qingyu, and at this time, he had also pulled Zhong Da and Helian Qing together. It was clear that he was trying to sow discord.

"That's right, Helian Qingyu is also one of this subject's subordinates. Does Your Highness think that this subject cannot make decisions?"

"Haha, This King does not intend to. Since that's the case, that's for the best. This King is worried that because of Qing Yu's serious injuries, if the generals under my command are injured, they will be dissatisfied with This King. "

The Law King wasn't willing to send his men to compete with Zhongda. He knew that in this contest, not only would victory be decided, but life and death would also be decided. He originally wanted to rope Helian Qingyu in, but he didn't expect that he would anger Helian Qingyu's subordinates, so he jumped out and indicated that he wanted to have a contest with his men.

Her gloomy eyes swept across her surroundings. Helian Manqiu was not here. This person was not easy to deal with!

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness."

Zhongda relaxed. If the Law King said such words in public, then everyone present would hear them and absolutely wouldn't go back on their words. With his identity as a prince, he couldn't allow the Law King to slip his tongue.

"Please!"

Zhongda looked at the person in front of him and slowly drew his treasured blade from under his ribs. He held it up to his chest and made a gesture of courtesy.

That person hesitated for a moment. His rib cage was a sword. Obviously, in terms of weapon, he was inferior to Zhong Da.

Although swords and sabers were weapons, the sabre in Zhongda's hand was a saber used in battle, not an ordinary sabre. As soon as the saber was unsheathed, a heavy, chilling air permeated the air, faintly revealing the bloody body of the saber, which was as bright as autumn water.

"My lord, this subject doesn't have a suitable weapon. Your Lordship, I wonder if I can borrow a blade from Your Lordship?"

"You can choose."

Gan Zhixuan said flatly.

That person bowed and expressed his gratitude to Gan Shixuan, "This lowly one thanks the marquis. Please allow General Zhongda to wait for a moment and allow me to choose a saber to fight against the general. "If I use this sword, I am afraid I cannot let the general have his fill!"

"You may choose any weapon here."

Zhong Da also disdained to take advantage of this person. He arrogantly raised his head, waiting for this person to choose a weapon.

The man walked over to the weapon rack and picked up a few knives. After a while, he shook his head and walked away.

"Master Hou, may I ask if you can temporarily borrow a saber from your subordinate?"

"But …"

"Thank you, Master Hou."

That person's gaze swept across the sabers beneath the ribs of the generals. A few people sneered and pulled out the sabers beneath the ribs, using their fingers to emit clanking sounds. "I wonder if this saber can enter the lord's eyes?"

The bright light of the blade dazzled that person's eyes. He walked over to the people who had pulled out the blades, lowered his head, and looked at them. His gaze was fixed on a blade. The man raised his sword, "Sir, have you taken a fancy to my blade?"

"Indeed, may I borrow the general's saber for the time being?"

The man picked up the handle and handed it over. "What a pity …"

After saying half a sentence and not continuing any further, the man from the Law King cupped his fist and bowed. "Thank you, General, for borrowing the blade."

He took the treasured saber and weighed it in his hand a few times. He felt that he had taken advantage of this situation and turned around, walking towards Zhongda.

"What a pity about my treasured blade!"

That person finally said what he did not say earlier and shook his head. He didn't think highly of this person, because they all knew what kind of fierce general Zhong Da was.

A man who did not care for his life when in battle would never frown, but would always charge straight at tens of thousands of enemies!

Not just anyone could fight against such a fierce general. If he was asked to fight against a fierce general like Zhong Da, he would also have a headache.

"Do you think he will lose?"

"What do you think, a bet?"

"Okay, what do we bet on?"

Zhongda and King Lu's men had yet to begin their battle, but the generals in the banquet had already begun their discussions and whispered their bets. Most of them would bet that Zhongda would win, but there were also a very small number of people who were willing to bet that the Law King would win.

"I bet a coin that His Highness's men will win!"

When these words entered King Lu's ears, he had the urge to spit out blood.

A copper coin, what a big bet!

He couldn't help but turn his dark eyes towards the person who spoke. He wanted to see who had the guts to not give him any face in front of everyone.

Although this person was betting that his people would win, he was betting a copper coin. This was clearly mocking him for overestimating his own abilities and it was a great humiliation.

The burly man was not young anymore, he had an experienced face, deep creases and scars that seemed to be carved from a knife. His face was full of intersecting scars, as though it were carved from a knife, purple, magenta, and red knife scars wriggled on the burly man's face like earthworms, and his smile was as sinister as if it came from hell.
