Having been outmaneuvered by the Heavenly Swordsman, Shen Qian could only turn his gaze away helplessly and set his sights on the Marquis of Yongjin of the Divine Emperor Palace.
But he was too late. A grayish-white aura of death spread out and, in the blink of an eye, transported Yongjin Hou into another world filled with graves.
Upon seeing that it was his fourth senior brother, Wu Jun, who had made the move, he could only reluctantly give up.
Immediately afterwards, Marquis Qingcheng, Marquis Yidao, Earl Pingyang, and others made their moves, each instantly locking onto a king or marquis from the Divine Emperor Palace. Shen Qian could only watch helplessly as Marquis Xuanming, Marquis Wuya, Qin Zun, and other kings and marquises from the Divine Emperor Palace were intercepted one by one.
Moreover, those foreign kings and nobles who had pledged allegiance to the Divine Emperor's Palace were quickly overwhelmed by the surging tide of other kings and nobles.
Just as Luo Shenbo said before, although the Divine Emperor Palace has many members, it accounts for at most one-fifth of the total number of kings and marquises.
Because of Wu Wei's instigation, many neutral princes and nobles also strengthened their stance, and the Divine Emperor Palace was at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers, resulting in a situation of "too many monks and too little porridge".
Just as Shen Qian was at a loss, a female king or noblewoman suddenly rose from her seat among the kings and nobles of China and flew away amidst the chaos.
Shen Qian glanced over subconsciously and immediately recognized the female noblewoman as Baihua Bo, who was said to have a rather decadent private life.
It is said that indecent videos of the other party circulated in the black market of the underground city back then, and were said to fetch exorbitant prices.
Shen Qian suddenly realized that since the great battle had begun, why was the other party, a neutral king, running away?
She is also a member of the Divine Emperor Palace!
Shen Qian's eyes lit up with joy, and he was about to rush over to stop the other party, but a fragrant breeze wafted by his side, and a figure was faster than him.
"Brother Chenqian, I have an old grudge against this woman. How about I give her to my sister?"
Hearing Luo Shenbo's slightly pleading voice, Shen Qian could only stop in his tracks and watch helplessly as Luo Shenbo and Qian Huanbo, with perfect coordination, flanked Baihuabo from the left and right.
Clearly, Qianhuanbo, who was also a female ruler, seemed to have long harbored resentment towards Baihuabo.
No matter how thirsty he was, he couldn't compete with a woman, so he could only stand there dejectedly.
He looked around and saw that the entire hall had been transformed into a dimensional battlefield. The surging energy, even through a layer of space, caused the entire hall to crack. If it weren't for the hidden array supporting it, it would have collapsed long ago.
Most importantly, Shen Qian suddenly realized that he had become a bystander in this chaotic battle.
The kings and nobles of the Divine Emperor Palace already had their own rivals, so he couldn't play any role at all.
Just as Shen Qian was at a loss for what to do, a voice from Lingyan Hou burst out laughing: "Shen Qian, what are you standing there for? Why don't you come over and drink some wine and watch the battle? Wouldn't that be more enjoyable?"
Shen Qian looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the princes and nobles who had been unable to intervene in the main hall had gathered together at some point and were sharing fine wine and food.
Most of them are avatars of kings and nobles who lack sufficient combat power, but there are also real kings and nobles like Shen Qian who are full of fighting spirit but cannot find an opponent. Among them are familiar faces such as Marquis Jinta and Earl Yuntian.
Shen Qian had no choice but to comply and reluctantly moved closer.
"You have already slain two kings and marquises today. You should give others a chance to prove themselves. The human race cannot rely solely on you, Chen Qian!"
Seemingly noticing the disappointment in Shen Qian's eyes, Uncle Yun Tian, as an elder, smiled.
Shen Qian thought about it and agreed, so he accepted the rare Moutai from Uncle Yun Tian and sat down next to him.
However, after sitting down, Shen Qian was surprised to find that the feeling was not bad at all.
He has always been on the front lines, fighting life and death with others, but he rarely has the chance to sit on the sidelines, drinking and watching the battle.
Shen Qian noticed that most of the spectators were watching the battle between Wu Wei and Han Chi, so he turned his gaze to them as well.
Not only because the outcome of the battle between Wu Wei and Han Chi will directly affect the course of this decisive battle, but also because the two are equivalent to the ceiling of the existing kings and marquises after excluding King Wu. Observing their battle will be the greatest gain for the kings and marquises present.
At first, it was difficult to see clearly through the layer of dimensional barrier, but Shen Qian directly used the "Eye of Truth" inherited from the King of Jiangling. His gaze instantly pierced through the mist, and the scene in that world-destroying battlefield became clear.
On the raging, turbulent ocean, Wu Wei and Han Chi, both displaying their enormous physical forms, were locked in a fierce battle.
Both seemed to have abandoned the aid of weapons, with only their armor shimmering with starlight.
"Both of them have already reached the pinnacle of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Star weapons below the Earth level are no longer very suitable. Therefore, with the aid of their armor, their physical bodies can unleash even greater power!"
Marquis Jinta made a timely comment.
As he was stationed at the Tower of Babel, he must have been the one who had witnessed the most battles between kings and nobles. Therefore, everyone else listened attentively.
"Is the minister highly likely to win?"
After watching for a while, Shen Qian saw that the world was constantly being torn apart by the two men's every move, with golden blood constantly splattering down. In such close combat, both of them had sustained many injuries, but it was impossible to tell who had the upper hand for the time being, so he asked a question.
"It's hard to say."
After pondering for a moment, Marquis Jinta shook his head. “In terms of foundation, Minister is indeed a level above Duke Yanshan. But at this level, mere realm doesn’t mean anything. Just like you, you haven’t reached the pinnacle of the Mountain and Sea realm, yet you already possess the combat power of a king or marquis.”
Shen Qian nodded in agreement. Indeed, there were too many factors that could influence the outcome of the match. The key was whose trump card was stronger.
