Chapter 488 King Killing
On the stage, the shepherdess finally arrived at the royal court and confronted the actress who played the noblewoman, and then the two formally dueled under the royal court.
By this stage, everyone inside the box and in the theater's security was on edge.
The battle between two third-level fighters, even if it is confined to the stage of a theater and is prepared in advance, is not something that can be easily ignored.
Apart from anything else, both of them were wearing armor, and any flying or thrown objects during the fight could injure anyone in the box. Those who came to watch the show were all people of status, so any injury to one of them would be a serious accident.
On the stage, the shepherdess and the noblewoman were fighting fiercely. Even without the simulated scene of the collapsing wall on the outside, the sound of the spears knocking against each other and the collision of armor alone could make people feel the intensity of the fight.
The audience can clearly feel that these two people are really fighting for life and death.
At this time, the theater will adjust the frequency of the two people's battle for them so that they can see the whole process.
The battle between the third-level fighters is something that ordinary people cannot see, and this battle alone is worth the price of admission.
However, all the third-level fighters responsible for safety in the field were closely watching the every move of the two people below, fearing that there would be any accidents.
The melody of the song also becomes intense and uplifting at this moment.
In such a situation, the dramatic effect is maximized.
Chen Chuan still couldn't understand the meaning of the song. As the music that resounded through the sky became more and more magnificent, he had a feeling that the melody seemed to be pushing a certain emotion to a climax.
The shepherdess, or rather the armor, moved faster and more intensely, and the battle between the two was so tense that it was hard to breathe.
After fighting for about three minutes, the gun in her hand stabbed the noble woman in the chest. The noble woman seemed very shocked and knelt down on the stage.
At this point in the music, there was an abrupt pause.
Chen Chuan could feel that the emotions expressed by the actress who played the noble woman were real and not acted out, but all the audience were immersed in the plot and did not notice anything unusual.
He stood up from his seat, and at this time, many excited audiences who were involved in the story also stood up and applauded. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with the plot.
The shepherdess then drew out her rusty sword and pointed it at the sky. Then the majestic and passionate music began to sound again, surging like a surging tide.
There was even more enthusiastic applause from the audience, but it was not over yet, there was still a final act to come.
The final outcome was unknown at the time because the place had become a ruin. In the version circulated in the West, the shepherdess cleared the knight's grievances, and the king canonized her and the knight on the spot, thus becoming the king's feudal lords. The shepherdess also found a way to cure the knight, and they walked hand in hand together at the end.
However, in the Eastern Continent, another version has been circulating for a long time - the War of Regicide!
The king sent his court swordsman to recruit the exhausted shepherdess, but she flatly refused.
The King must pay!
The shepherdess threw down her broken lance, drew out her rusty sword, and killed all the court swordsmen and the king!
At this moment on the stage, she first raised the long sword in her hand into the air facing the light, then slowly moved it down and pointed it forward, swinging the sword at Wang Quan.
The music now reaches its climax, becoming rhythmic and grand, like crashing waves and torrential rain.
Chen Chuan took a look and saw that the place where the sword was pointing was exactly where Speaker Quan was, maybe by coincidence.
He turned around and looked at Chen Bitong again, and saw that the latter was also looking at him.
He suddenly understood that Chen Bitong had already seen the problem, or knew where the problem lay, and he had kept him behind on purpose in order to give him the task of saving Speaker Quan.
This seemed to be a reward for his previous advice to Xiaojin, and he knew that the latter had enough ability to cover it.
However, this move may also have some kind of team-standing effect. Coming forward to save Speaker Quan can easily lead people to make associations, but as a person with a mission, he is not afraid of public actions.
He looked at the armor, and as the music and the emotions in the field resonated and drove him, he could feel the strong field waves, which were gradually rising.
When the movement reached its climax, the shepherdess suddenly leaped from her original position and leaped towards the Speaker's box, pointing the rusty sword in her hand straight ahead.
Chen Chuan quickly determined that the opponent's attack had reached its peak after killing the noble woman, driven by the divine song. It had exceeded the power it should have under normal circumstances, and it was difficult to block it head-on.
Chen Bitong might have thought of it and might make up for it when he made a mistake.
However, you may be stronger in terms of force, but this is not pure force. The root cause is actually an anomaly. So, please just watch from the side.
He stared straight ahead with his eyes, his mind highly concentrated. He lowered his body slightly, and with a bang, he stepped out of the box, taking the Xuejun Sword out of its sheath.
Two figures were walking towards each other in the sky above the theater, and just when they were about to collide, Chen Chuan suddenly spun in mid-air, and the Xuejun Knife pierced through the gap in his helmet.
At the same time, a strong sense of emptiness appeared on the second me, but his eyes did not move at all. At this time, the hidden intention in the long sword became active, as if it absorbed something from there. He did not care, but just picked it up suddenly.
The helmet flew high up, as if it was cut off by his sword, and the long platinum hair fluttered out. The eyes of the actress who played the shepherdess showed a moment of confusion.
Chen Chuan passed by her and landed steadily on the ground. He was standing right under the lights in front of the stage. He swung his long sword lightly, making a sound of breaking through the air.
The actor seemed to be interrupted in his jump and fell from mid-air, half-kneeling on the ground with a thud. A moment later, his helmet also fell with a snap onto the aisle behind him.
The audience looked on in astonishment. What happened in that instant was so fast that they didn't understand whether it was a new drama or some other unexpected event.
The security personnel in each box reacted quickly, rushed to the front, and used their bodies to shield the employers in the back. They looked down seriously.
Tan Zhi and the other three were all stunned. They hadn't thought much of Chen Chuanchu's story, thinking he'd run into a superior or friend. But they hadn't expected him to suddenly come face to face with the actress playing the shepherdess.
Chen Chuan glanced at the helmet that fell to the ground. As he had judged, this set of armor had influenced the actor's consciousness. Perhaps the latter still thought he was immersed in the drama at the moment. However, this showed that this anomaly needed a carrier, otherwise it would not be able to exert its power.
That's easy then.
He raised the knife, with the handle facing forward, the blade resting on his shoulder, his center of gravity lowered, and then he stepped on the ground. His figure flashed suddenly. At this moment, the frequency modulation on the field signal seemed to blur, as if it could not fully express his movements.
He came in front of the "shepherdess" in an instant, and then slashed with a knife. The rusty sword was raised accurately and was about to be blocked, but there was a sound of "clang", and the rusty sword was broken by him. Then the knife continued to move and fell on the actor's forehead.
However, the blade did not leave even a scratch. The light and heavy force penetrated into his body, causing his movements to freeze. He maintained the posture of holding the knife with both hands and chopping down.
The "shepherdess" paused for a moment, and the tattered armor on her body suddenly cracked, and then pieces fell to the ground. Finally, her hand loosened, half of the rusty sword fell to the ground, and she fell straight to the ground.
Chen Chuan then slowly put away his sword and stood up. This armor needed a carrier. Without a body to rest on, it would be of no use.
Of course the most important thing is that he defeated the shepherdess head-on.
With his experience in exorcising strange and unusual things, he believed this was the key, because defeating the opponent would mean the end of the drama and the ending would be changed.
At this time, he looked up and saw that the danger was over. The security above had made way. Speaker Quan walked to the front and looked down. Chen Bitong appeared on the other side and nodded to him.
Chairman Quan seemed to have anticipated this. He said to Jie Pingli, "Assistant Bao, you take care of this matter."
Bao Yun, the assistant director of the Security and Defense Department, immediately stepped forward and said to the audience, "You all should be aware of the uniqueness of divine songs, which sometimes have a certain impact on actors, and we have been informed of this in advance.
After careful consideration, we felt we couldn't let you miss out on this wonderful performance, so we've made thorough arrangements. We've put in place adequate safety measures. Captain Chen, a veteran of numerous distinguished service, is here, so you can rest assured.
I just don’t get to see the ending come to a successful conclusion, which I personally feel a little regretful.”
"No, I have no regrets." Speaker Quan said to the audience, "The Shepherdess's sword strike displayed the aura of a king-killing warrior. This was the most spectacular performance I've ever witnessed."
He then looked at Chen Chuan and said, "And Captain Chen, thank you for your efforts and for holding back. You saved the actress from serious harm and left her with no regrets. I thank you on her behalf."
As he spoke, he clapped his hands gently. The dignitaries in the box immediately applauded, leading everyone in the room to follow suit. The thunderous applause rang out like a tide.
At this time, medical staff quickly came in and carried the unconscious actress down the aisle.
Chen Chuan glanced at Speaker Quan and Chen Bitong above him, then looked at the people in the box above and around who were applauding. He calmly withdrew his gaze, holding the Xuejun Knife, and slowly walked out along the middle aisle amid the thunderous applause.
Soon he reached the upper floor and returned to the private room. Chen Bitong handed him the scabbard of the Xuejun Knife. He took it and said, "Teacher Chen, thank you."
Chen Bitong said, "After this rest day, I will be stationed at the training class permanently. Captain Chen, if you have time, you can come and see me."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I'll come." After a pause, he looked at Chen Bitong and said, "Teacher Chen, can I know the real reason behind this drama?"
Chen Bitong was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
