"So Your Majesty Long Shi wants this sword!"
Liunian Ling rolled her eyes, "Of course there is no problem, but Your Majesty may not know that this sword has now become a trophy of a duel. Before the end of the duel, this sword enjoys the protection of the duel rules. No one can touch it. Does Your Majesty want to violate the duel rules?"
The duel rules were rules that had been adopted by humans for hundreds of years, and were recognized by all humans and sword bearers, not to mention that there were people from the Liunian Clan present.
Although with Jiandi's strength, no one would really argue with Long Shi Jiandi if he forcibly broke the duel rules, but once this matter was spread out, Long Shi Jiandi's reputation among humans would instantly turn into a pile of mud, and his future record in the history books would not be so glorious. This might become a stain on Long Shi Jiandi's life … Big shots like Jiandi valued their face the most and hoped that they could be immortalized through the ages. Therefore, even Long Shi Jiandi did not dare to blatantly violate the duel rules.
Liunian Ling's idea was very simple. She wanted to contact Haotian Jiandi and let Haotian Jiandi intervene, lest the Emperor's Sword really be taken away by the City of London.
However, it was very troublesome to contact Haotian Jiandi in the trial array. Liunian Ling needed time. As long as the duel continued and delayed enough time for Liunian Ling to contact Haotian Jiandi, the ownership of the Emperor's Sword was still unknown.
"So there is a duel here. Yes, the duel rules cannot be violated. Then I will wait until the duel is over!"
Long Shi Jiandi's voice buzzed. Liunian Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately sent a message to Guhan, telling Guhan to hold back during the duel with Reinhardt. The longer the better.
"It's useless …" In less than a second, Guhan replied to Liunian Ling with such a message, which made Liunian Ling very angry. What do you mean by useless? Is he looking down on me for coming up with a way to stall for time?
"I admit defeat!
I, Reinhardt, lost! "
After a few seconds, Reinhardt suddenly raised his hands and put the red hilt sword on the ground, which meant that Reinhardt admitted defeat to Guhan.
"Don't you still have an Ancient Sword Grade Swordmistress?
Why did you admit defeat … "Liunian Ling was anxious, but she quickly reacted. This was Long Shi Jiandi's order for Reinhardt to admit defeat. Long Shi Jiandi had clearly seen that Liunian Ling wanted to stall for time, so he ordered Reinhardt to admit defeat.
Sure enough, Long Shi Jiandi quickly said, "Now that the duel is over, this Emperor's Sword is no longer under the protection of the duel rules. Give this sword to Us, and Us will reward you with a death exemption edict. This reward is already enough!"
Long Shi Jiandi once again stretched out his hand towards Guhan. In order to block Liunian Ling's mouth, he also specifically expressed his willingness to grant Guhan a death exemption edict.
The death exemption edict was something that could only be issued by Jiandi … Don't get me wrong, it was not to let Guhan ignore the law and avoid death once, but when Guhan received a fatal attack, he would turn into an amber, wrap Guhan inside, and then travel through the void to return to Jiandi's side. It was the strongest life-saving prop.
The life-saving effect of the death exemption edict was even better than that of the Giant Void Hand. After all, the Giant Void Hand still needed a certain amount of time to be channeled. In case the sword-bearer could not survive this short channeling time, then they would die.
But the death exemption edict was different. It belonged to the type that could be triggered immediately. As long as one encountered a life-threatening danger, it would automatically be triggered. Its life-saving effect was simply heaven-defying.
Such a thing was naturally very precious. Jiandi could only make one copy a year. Except for his closest people, he would not bestow it at all. Even Liunian Ling only had one copy of Haotian Jiandi.
Long Shi Jiandi had even taken out the death exemption edict. One could well imagine his determination towards the Emperor's Sword … Moreover, in terms of morality and justice, Long Shi Jiandi had nothing to accuse him of. The other party had used the death exemption edict to exchange for it. For Guhan, it was absolutely not a loss.
"A person cannot be insatiably greedy!"
Seeing that Guhan was still hesitating, Long Shi Jiandi snorted, and the whole space began to tremble along with his cold snort.
A coercion directly pressed down on Guhan's back, causing Guhan to stagger. One of his legs could not support him, and he directly knelt on the ground.
"I …" Guhan could not say anything. Just when he was ready to completely accept his fate, suddenly, another powerful force began to impact the defense of the Training Array. The strength of this force was unexpectedly on par with the power of Long Shi Jiandi.
"It's Haotian Jiandi!"
Guhan's mind cleared up. He knew that this was Haotian Jiandi's giant hand. Jiandi had finally arrived.
Guhan promptly controlled the power of the Training Array to disperse, allowing Haotian Jiandi's power to directly enter the Training Array without any hindrance. It tore open the void on the other side, and directly collided with Long Shi Jiandi's giant hand.
… …
"Heavens, another Giant Void Hand has come!" A onlooker exclaimed.
"This is Haotian Jiandi's Giant Void Hand. Kenzu above, the two great Jiandi of our human race have actually arrived!
This is definitely the biggest news of the year! "Another onlooker added.
They had never thought that they could actually see the situation of two human Jiandi confronting each other across the void. Being able to personally experience such a big event was enough for them to brag about for a lifetime.
"Big Brother Haotian, you came really fast!"
Seeing that Haotian Jiandi had already arrived, Long Shi Jiandi's voice became a little low. With Haotian Jiandi here, he could no longer cover the sky with one hand.
"Fortunately, this Training Array does not seem to reject this old man's power.
Second Brother, you just consumed a lot of power to break through the Training Array! "
A long time ago, in order to make Jiandi close to each other, under the initiative of Kenzu, all Jiandi had to burn yellow paper and become sworn brothers.
According to the time when they became Jiandi, they would call each other big brother, second brother, and so on … Although this sounded a bit ridiculous, it was undeniable that under the name of brothers, the disputes between Jiandi had indeed decreased a lot.
"Opening the way for big brother is what a little brother should do."
Long Shi Jiandi's tone was very strange. In order to break through the defense of the Training Array, he had consumed a lot of the power of the Giant Void Hand. Although it was not much, but in a confrontation between two Jiandi, even a little less power was a fatal thing.
Now he had naturally fallen into a disadvantageous position. If he really fought with Haotian Jiandi, he would lose more than he would win.
"Then it's been hard on you, Second Brother."
Haotian Jiandi's tone was very gentle. "There is no need to speak any insinuations between us brothers. Originally, I did not have much desire for this Emperor's Sword in Yan Jing City. After all, I already have enough Emperor's Swords. I did not rush here immediately, which represents my attitude."
"Then why did Big Brother come here?" Long Shi Jiandi coldly snorted.
"Because I did not expect that this sword was really that sword."
Haotian paused, and his voice became extremely serious. He did not even address Long Shi as his younger brother. "Long Shi, this is our Huaxia Human Clan's most precious sword. I will never let you take it to London City. You should understand the significance of this sword to our Huaxia people."
"I know."
Hearing Haotian Jiandi's words, Long Shi Jiandi also became serious. "But Big Brother, I, Long Shi, also have half of the Huaxia blood in my body. My London City also uses Chinese as its language and takes Huaxia as its ancestor. Two-thirds of our London City is of Huaxia blood. Don't tell me that London City is not qualified to inherit this sword?"
Haotian Jiandi was silent. Chen Shuang Jiandi, the founder of London City, was also a Huaxia person. Most of the earliest citizens of London City were also of Huaxia blood. In the beginning, London City was even intended to be called Zhenyuan City. Just the word 'Zhenyuan' alone showed the original flavor of London City's establishment.
However, for various reasons, London City eventually separated from Huaxia. In the end, it still used the original name of London as the city's name. It absorbed a large number of English survivors and became a base city belonging to England.
However, its relationship with Huaxia blood could not be cut off at all. Compared with the already sparse English blood, London City was closer to Huaxia blood.
"How about this? This sword will be temporarily kept by Yan Jing City. Let's talk about its ownership when we meet." After a moment of silence, Haotian Jiandi proposed such a solution.
"I refuse!" Long Shi Jiandi sneered. "If the sword is in the hands of Yan Jing City, do I still have a chance to get it?
If you want to have a meeting, that's fine. But it will be temporarily kept by London City. We'll discuss it later. How about it, Big Brother? "
"Sigh …" Haotian Jiandi sighed and stopped talking. A giant hand pressed directly toward Long Shi Jiandi's position. This was the rhythm of a direct attack.
Long Shi Jiandi was not to be outdone, and the two giant hands collided … Because the two Jiandi's real bodies were not here, they could only rely on the power of the giant hands to collide with each other.
This was the most direct collision of power. There was no fancy swordsmanship in it, and it was a competition of the purest strength.
The two gigantic hands kept colliding against each other. The wind pressure generated from their collisions blew the surrounding sword-bearers into the nearby walls. It was as if they had been nailed to the wall, unable to move at all.
Jiandi's strength could be seen at a glance from this.
If one was not an Emperor Sword, one would always be just an ant in front of an Emperor Sword. Even if it was an Immortal Sword Grade sword wielder, it was just a relatively large ant.
In more than three minutes, the two giant hands collided no less than a hundred times. It seemed that Haotian Jiandi was gradually gaining the upper hand. After all, he did not consume any power to break through the defense of the Smelting Trial Array. It was because of such a small advantage that Haotian Jiandi had already gained the upper hand.
"Big brother, you forced me to do this!"
Suddenly, Long Shi Jiandi uttered such a sentence, and then the void not far from Long Shi Jiandi's giant hand was once again torn open. Another giant hand forcibly tore open the void and arrived at the Smelting Trial Array.
"Long Shi, you're crazy …" Seeing two hands appear at the same time, Haotian Jiandi knew that he was going to lose this battle. He had only gained a little upper hand. Once both of Long Shi Jiandi's hands appeared at the same time, unless he also called for a second hand, he would not be able to win against Long Shi.
Not to mention whether Long Shi would give Haotian time to call for a second hand, did Haotian Jiandi really have the courage to call for a second hand?
