If Zhongda was going to fight with his life on the line, he wouldn't have that kind of awareness, much less exchange his feet or his life for an arm with Zhongda.

The hearts of the generals slightly relaxed. Zhong Da firmly held the upper hand. If nothing unexpected happened, then he would not lose.

Before that person's feet could even land on the ground, he suddenly charged towards Zhong Da's embrace, the blade in his hand held upright in front of his chest, the blade edge pointing outwards. The distance between the two was only a few feet. At this time, Zhongda's saber was still raised above his head and he hadn't withdrawn it yet. If he wanted to use his saber to block, it would be too late.

The hearts of the generals all rose. Even Gonggong's gaze was fixated on Zhong Da.

Neither he nor King Lu was willing to lose this match!

The blade carried a biting chill as it struck his face.

Seeing that man with a sharp blade colliding into the bosom of Zhong Da, some people closed their eyes. This time, Zhong Da would definitely not be able to dodge!

A genuine smile appeared on King Lu's face, and he revealed a relaxed expression. He too could see that no one could avoid this move. The two were too close to each other, so Zhong Da did not retract his hand, nor did he retract his blade in time. Even if he did retract his sword, it would be impossible for him to dodge that person's lightning strike.

Zhong Da's face was still as cold as ever. He loosened his grip and the blade left his hand, falling to the ground. Before the blade could hit the ground, he bent his elbow. Not only did he not retreat, he also charged toward that person. Facing the cold glint of the blade, he rushed forward just like that.

Even more people closed their eyes, unable to bear seeing this scene unfold. Upon seeing the famous general from the War Continent, blood splattered on the spot, and he even lost his life.

"Ah …"

A miserable scream miserably swept past everyone's ears. Everyone widened their eyes as they looked towards the center of the field.

Zhong Da was still standing in the middle of the arena. The person that fought with Zhong Da was lying on the ground not far away from him. Dark red blood unceasingly poured out of his mouth like an unstoppable fountain.

"Clank …"

At this time, the knife that Zhongda had thrown away fell to the ground. Zhongda stretched out his leg and used the tip of his foot to lift it up. The blade flew up and landed in his hand. He put his blade back into its scabbard, and his aura of killing grew even stronger as he coldly stared at the person on the ground.

"Puff …"

The man spat out a stream of blood from his mouth. The blood spurted into the air and landed on the front of his shirt.

His dull and lifeless gaze seemed to be unwilling as it stared unwaveringly at Zhong Da.

"You … "Puff …"

He seemed to want to say something. He only wanted to say one sentence before spitting out another mouthful of blood. He did not even have the ability to say a complete sentence.

He wanted to ask how Zhongda did it, but the intense pain and the feeling of helplessness made him have no strength to say even half a word.

He was very clear that many of his ribs had been broken. He did not know how many had been broken. Perhaps, they had already been broken by Zhong Da. The broken ribs, which had been inserted into his internal organs, had caused him to bleed profusely. His strength and life force were slowly being drained from his body.

Was he going to die just like that?

How is this possible?

Earlier, it was clear that he had the upper hand. If he could kill Zhongda, then he could at least severely wound and defeat him. After planning out every step, he thought that no one would be able to evade his final strike.

What happened?

What had happened?

Everyone present wanted to know this question. Their eyes were wide open as they tried to recall the result of the two colliding with each other in the end. However, they didn't seem to be able to clearly see what happened in the end.

Some people did not manage to see it clearly. Some people simply closed their eyes. There were a few people who were unable to see it clearly. Only a few people were able to see it with much difficulty.

As the man turned the blade, holding it upright in his arms, and rushed toward Zhongda, Zhongda made only a few small movements.

One was the knife he had thrown away in his hand, a knife he had never let go of, as if he had risked his life. He had thought that only when he died would he firmly hold the blade, but he had not expected that he would voluntarily throw it away tonight.

The second action, Zhongda, rushed towards the other party.

The third action: He bends his elbow, bends his knee, strikes out with his fist...

The collision between the two of them was blocked by their bodies, so no one could see it. Zhongda's fist mercilessly struck his opponent's chest, his knees struck his opponent's ribs, and his elbows stood up to avoid the blade's edge, heavily striking his opponent's breastbone.

"Kacha …"

In that instant, he heard the sound of his opponent's chest bones, ribs, and bones breaking. It was so ear-piercing, so light, yet so moving.

The soft armor on his chest had been cut by the blade of the saber. Blood faintly seeped out from the soft armor, because both of them had charged towards each other with all their might. That person's blade had still injured Zhongda. It had cut open his soft armor, and injured his skin.

He turned around and walked over to the person who had lent the blade to King Lu. With both hands, he returned the blade to that person.

That person bitterly smiled as he shook his head. He took his own saber and sheathed it. "Zhongda, I will absolutely not fight with you!"

Zhong Da smiled as he cupped his fists and bowed slightly, "My lord, I dare not accept your praise."

Although his position was higher than the other party's after he received the royal decree, he still maintained a low profile and treated the other party like a subordinate who hadn't been promoted at all.

He turned around, walked to the front of Gan Yuxuan, and knelt down on one knee as he said, "My lord, this general knows his wrongs. If this general didn't intend to do it, then my lord, please mete out punishment."

He lowered his head to his chest, blood gushing from his fingers.

In truth, Zhongda's injuries weren't too severe. Although the saber edge was sharp, the area he exerted force on was large, so the impact force wasn't too great. Zhongda wasn't stupid, of course he wouldn't use his chest to forcefully strike against the edge of the blade.

Although the blade had cut into his skin, it was only a superficial wound. He had purposely pretended to be severely injured.

Gan Yuxuan turned his head to look at the Law King, his sword-shaped eyebrows raised slightly as he cupped his fists and bowed. "Your Highness, this subject has no way to control them. Please forgive me."

The Law King's face was gloomy. Hearing Gan Gong's words, he suddenly laughed, "Why are you so arrogant? This king's subordinates are all incompetent. This matter is not the fault of Duke Mizar, nor is it the fault of your subordinates. This King has always heard that the subordinates of the military state's Helian Mountain are all tiger and wolf weapons.

"I didn't expect that the general under Helian Shan would have such skills. I wonder if any of your subordinates could beat Zhongda?"

King Lu's words made all of Gan Jianxuan's subordinates somewhat angry. All of them had gloomy expressions and didn't say anything, just looked at Gan Jianxuan.

"Your Highness' words are too wrong, Zhongda is the lord's subordinate."

Zhongda raised his head and glanced at the Law King before lowering his head. "This subject knows his wrongs. I accidentally injured His Highness's people. I beg Your Highness for punishment!"

Clutching his chest, Zhong Da's voice became fainter. The person behind him finally painfully swallowed his last breath as he unwillingly stared with wide eyes.

"Your Highness' words, how could they change? At that time, your life was at stake, how could Your Highness care about it?" Someone come, help Zhong Da down to treat His Highness' illness, and keep his people in check. "

"Yes."

Someone stepped forward and helped Zhongda up from the ground. Zhongda's body swayed a few times, and he clenched his teeth as he was barely dragged down by someone.

Only then was he able to take a glance at Chen Yu Yang and the others and realize that none of them had moved. It was as if they hadn't seen Zhongda's half-dead appearance; they were all sitting motionlessly on the spot.

"General Chen, why don't you go take a look?"

"With Master sending someone to take care of him, why should we wait here? The Lord is still here."

Chen Yu Yang replied with a smile, but didn't mention the Law King. His eyes swept over Zhong Da's body before retracting.

At this moment, if someone were to go over, they would obviously feel that they wouldn't be able to trust him. Moreover, he could see that Zhongda's injuries weren't as serious as they seemed on the surface. And letting Zhongda pretend to be seriously injured was due to his secret instructions to prevent himself from being investigated by the Law King.

"Your Highness, your subject requests for forgiveness."

Gan Yuxuan bowed, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Marquis Qingtian, there's no need to be like this. Please take a seat, it's just a small contest, there's always a loss if you win. It's nothing, don't take it to heart."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gan Zhixuan sat back down. Someone cleaned up the floor and dragged the corpse away. Other than the traces of blood on the ground, there were no other traces.

After what happened just now, King Lu suddenly lost all interest, but he couldn't leave immediately. He appeared to be too stingy, continuing to chat and laugh with Gan Jianxuan without knowing what had happened, his face carrying a smile, as if he didn't take what happened just now to heart.

"Marquis Qing Tian hasn't returned to the capital in a long time. The change in the capital is extremely great."

The two began to casually chat. They talked about matters of the capital and the matters of the imperial court, but they did not discuss any sensitive topics.

"Marquis Qing Tian, how do you think we should deal with the matter of Duke Ming?"

"This is a matter of the royal family. This subject will naturally follow the emperor's orders."

"Right now, Duke Ming has fled outside of the northern border and is living with a low and fresh population. This is a very troublesome matter. "Marquis Di Tian, do you have any countermeasures?"

"Your Highness has always been very knowledgeable about the inferior people. I wonder what kind of opinions you have?"

Gan Yuxuan tossed the question back to King Lu, unwilling to answer it directly. There was no conclusive evidence for the law king colluding with the freshmen. Even if there was, it was not something he could go and find fault with. With the status of the opposite party's prince, this matter could only be convicted by decree of the Emperor.

King Lu did not reply. He wanted to rope Gan into a trap, but he didn't have the slightest assurance.

For many years, there had not been a single prince who had not wished to win over Gonggong. Even the crown prince had treated Gonggong very kindly. However, Gan Yuxuan had never shown any intention of favouring any of the princes. Even towards the crown prince, he was indifferent.

King Lu wanted to win her over, but no matter what he said, he couldn't say it on such an occasion.

"Young General, General Zhongda has won. He seems to have been severely injured and Godly Doctor Lu has been summoned over."

"Oh, can you see it clearly? What was the situation then? "

Di Qingfeng repeated in a low voice, "I also didn't see the last move clearly. That person was killed by General Zhong, and General Zhong was also seriously injured.

Helian Manqiu pondered for a moment. The injuries on Zhongda's body shouldn't be too severe. Since Lu Keyu had passed by, there would soon be news that would be sent back. Since they were willing to give him a way out, then it must be to let them be at ease.

"As long as Godly Doctor Lu is here, nothing will happen to him. His injuries shouldn't be too heavy!"
