Are you trying to scare me?
The size of one's fist determined the strength of one's position. That was true!
"Of course, before we fight, I have a proposal for you.
Rather than a proposal, it's more of a benefit for you. "
Murong Zijun kept Lin Yun in suspense and continued, "As long as you give up this match, admit defeat, and swear that you will submit to me, the Great Yan Empire will be yours in the future.
I promise you that in the future, the Great Yan Empire will have a lot of weight for you. You can even be bestowed with the title of Grand Duke for eternity.
Due to his injuries, Murong Zijun really didn't want to fight with Qin Hao.
If he used his trump card on Qin Hao, he would lose his bargaining chip to negotiate with Zhou Wudao.
He needed to use his trump card to threaten Zhou Wudao.
"The title of Grand Duke of the Great Yan Empire is really tempting!"
"Although the title of Grand Duke is nothing compared to Daliao's unique position as the Emperor's son-in-law.
However, Qin Hao should know that not only is Crown Prince Zijun and the powerful Zhou Wudao blocking his path, but there are also the mysterious first and second in the Imperial Martial Palace! "
"Exchanging the title of Grand Duke of the Great Yan Empire with an unpredictable outcome is a profitable deal!"
The cultivators below the stage started to discuss. Many of them were tempted by Murong Zijun's offer.
"You want me to give up the match and submit to you?
Are you daydreaming? "Qin Hao sneered. He wouldn't agree to it.
"Qin Hao, if you don't submit to me, how can I bestow the title of Grand Duke to you?"
Murong Zijun was a little anxious. The title of Grand Duke was a dangerous title with power and territory. It wasn't just for show. It could be said to be a feudal lord with military power that could change the fate of the Great Yan Empire.
"If you don't like the position, then … I'll make an exception and make you a Prince of the Great Yan Empire with a different surname. Once I ascend the throne, I'll let you rule the world. How about that?"
Qin Hao didn't agree for a long time. Murong Zijun clenched his teeth and increased the bargaining chip. His heart was bleeding.
His words immediately caused an uproar.
It was indeed unprecedented for the Great Yan Empire to have a prince with a different surname.
Not to mention ordinary martial artists, even some Sect Masters and Sect Masters were tempted. They wished they could become Qin Hao and nod their heads in agreement.
Duan Zijue's eyes were filled with anxiety. He was afraid that Qin Hao wouldn't be able to resist Murong Zijun's temptation.
After all, in terms of national strength, Daliao was not as strong as Northern Yan.
The Northern Yan King's position was not much lower than Xiao Yi's!
Xiao Yi was very calm at this moment, and there was even a look of interest in his eyes.
In the past, he had only tested Qin Hao's ability but had neglected his temperament. Now, he wanted to see how Qin Hao would choose.
Qin Hao's choice would also determine Xiao Han's position in his heart.
"You're blabbering on and on. What you're trying to say is that Xiao Han is equivalent to a bargaining chip. If your bargaining chip is big enough, then I can directly abandon Xiao Han, right?
Murong Zijun, I used to think that you were a big shot in Beijiang.
Now, it seems like you're just trash and scum. You don't deserve to stand on the sacred platform of the Emperor Martial Competition. Cut the crap and let's fight! "Qin Hao rejected firmly as the fiery red lotus aura surged around him.
Seeing his resolute attitude, some people shook their heads while others nodded.
Some people sighed!
"Qin Hao, you really don't know how to appreciate favors. Do you really think you can defeat me and my Big Brother Zhou Wudao and become the prince consort of Daliao?
Alright, I'll let you experience this prince's terrifying cultivation! "
Murong Zijun was extremely annoyed. He took out another bottle and poured all the elixir pills in it into his mouth.
He had taken out this bottle during his battle with Qi Yuan.
There was no doubt that the elixir pills inside had helped him break through to the mid-level of the fifth-level Yuan Venerate temporarily.
After he consumed them, Murong Zijun's aura, which had fallen back to the initial level, started to climb crazily once again …
Mid-level!
Peak!
The pinnacle of the fifth-level Yuan Venerate!
Weng!
Powerful energy spread from his body as Murong Zijun broke through the fifth-level barrier and reached the sixth-level Yuan Venerate. His aura stabilized after he broke through to the peak of the sixth-level Yuan Venerate.
This scene made Zhou Wudao, who was on the stage, slightly change his expression.
When a martialist reached the late-stage of the Martial Path, every advancement was extremely difficult. It was like a natural chasm!
Although Murong Zijun had broken through with the help of the elixir pills and would fall back again when the time was up, it was still enough to shock people.
Murong Zijun's face twisted intensely as though he was in great pain. His body was also suffering from the impact of the elixir while he had obtained the power to soar.
"How is it, Qin Hao?
Do you still have the guts to compete with me now?
If you withdraw now, my words will still count.
You also saw how I used the Nine-Headed Golden Lion Source Spirit. A mere eighth-level Yuan Monarch like you simply can't withstand it! "Murong Zijun endured the pain and released the immense pressure as he looked at Qin Hao once again.
This sudden turn of events made Tsiogua and the others tremble.
Duan Zijue could feel the terrifying power emanating from Murong Zijun even though he was thousands of meters away from the arena.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from this overwhelming power. If they fought, his outcome would be even more severe than when he had been defeated by Xuanyuan Wuji.
"Brat …"
"Qin Hao!"
"Master, you have to hold on!" The Old Demon, Dan Xuan, and Ye Longyuan were so nervous that they broke out in cold sweat.
However, Qin Hao's expression didn't change. He even smirked as he pointed at Murong Zijun and said, "Is this your trump card?"
"That's right. This is my trump card. Are you afraid?" Murong Zijun replied.
He firmly believed that Qin Hao was pretending to be calm. He was definitely panicking inside.
After all, even Zhou Wudao's expression had changed. This meant that Murong Zijun was important enough to attract Zhou Wudao's attention. How could Qin Hao not be afraid?
"Ha ha ha … I, Qin Hao, have seen countless people and seen stupid people. However, this is the first time I've seen someone stupider than a pig like you.
That's right, you are indeed very strong now.
Under normal circumstances, you would be able to scare away martialists of a higher level than me.
Unfortunately … "Qin Hao shook his head." No matter how powerful you are, even if you become a peak Yuan Venerate or even an Emperor, what's the use of a dying Yuan Venerate? "
Qin Hao spread his arms.
Murong Zijun was only putting up a strong front. He had basically been beaten half to death by Qi Yuan in the previous battle.
Therefore, what could a seriously injured sixth-level Yuan Venerate or even a seriously injured Yuan Venerate do if they found it difficult to even breathe?
"That's why I say that you are really stupid beyond redemption. You have wasted the miraculous elixir that your father, the Yan Emperor, prepared for you!" Qin Hao said.
"Ha ha ha …" Tsiogua held his stomach as he guffawed. He was laughing so hard that tears were about to flow out of his eyes.
Duan Zijue's tense nerves relaxed in an instant as a smile returned to his face.
That's right. If Murong Zijun hadn't been seriously injured, he would have had a difficult labor.
Most importantly … Qi Yuan's Black Dragon Qi still remained in his body. It was difficult for him to even suppress his injuries, so how could he have the strength to fight?
Furthermore, it would take him at least 10 days to half a month to recover from his injuries. Even if he used the most miraculous elixir, he wouldn't be able to recover from it.
Recovering in 10 days to half a month was already Duan Zijue's highest evaluation of Murong Zijun.
"We were frightened by his external strength and actually overlooked his weakness. Our foresight is inferior to Qin Hao's!" Duan Zijue admitted defeat.
