Chapter 153: Chaoyang Sword
"This sword is called Chaoyang. It can dispel all illusions in the world and bring hope and light."
"The origin of this broken sword is unknown, but where it is, evil spirits dare not approach."
"Once, it was placed in the royal family of Xiyue. It protected the entire imperial city from being invaded by evil spirits." The maid next to the Saint of Xiyue said proudly.
Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
"During this year's Ghost Festival, no evil spirits have ever set foot into the imperial city of Xiyue. This will protect the people."
"If you can pull out this sword, not only will you win the match against Bei Zhaosheng, but I will also give this sword to your country as a gift. How about that?" The maid looked at the emperor.
"But...if you can't pull it out..." The maid smiled.
"We want the treasure that has been passed down in Beizhao for thousands of years."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
"How dare you! The Beizhao treasure was only passed down to successive emperors. What are you dreaming of!" The white-haired old minister immediately stood up and cursed at Xiyue.
"You dare to exchange a broken sword for my Beizhao treasure? Ptut!"
The Saint of Xiyue had a smile on her lips.
The maid stood respectfully behind the saint.
"It is said that this sword is extraordinary and is a treasure of the gods. With the scabbard, it can even protect the capital of a country."
"If someone can pull it out, it will surely protect the world from being invaded by evil spirits again."
"The benefits are present and future generations."
"This is a divine object. It's worth exchanging it for Bei Zhao's treasure."
"As long as you can pull out this sword, I'll give it to you for free."
The court officials looked tense and the emperor's eyes sank slightly. Xiyue, did he come for Beizhao's most precious treasure?
Now, with envoys from various countries watching, Bei Zhao was simply being roasted on the fire.
[The greatest treasure?] What treasure? Why haven’t I heard of it...] Lu Chaochao wondered in his heart.
"Your Majesty Bei Zhao, have you considered it?"
"Bei Zhao is a great country, don't you have this little confidence?"
Saint Jing Li tapped her fingers lightly, raised her eyes and asked.
Lu Chaochao tugged at the emperor's clothes: "Emperor father, promise..."
The emperor looked at Lu Chaochao, the usually lazy little guy, but now his back was straight and his eyes seemed to be shining.
"Okay, I'll bet with you the Beizhao treasure."
The emperor waved towards Rong Che.
Rong Che's eyes were firm. As long as he didn't confront the Xu family, he would be a majestic general.
"General Rong, you can move mountains and lift tripods, are you sure?" The emperor waved his hand and summoned a group of generals.
The Duke of Protectorate was also among them.
Rong Che carefully estimated the weight of the broken sword, feeling a little heavy in his heart: "Your Majesty, I am only 30% sure."
Four men from Xiyue raised their swords; he happened to have some impression of those four men.
They are all warriors known for their brute strength.
The Duke of Protectorate also shook his head: "I only have two points." The Duke of Protectorate is old and has lost his former glory.
"Is your uncle sure?" Xie Yunan, the Heshuo Prince, was as powerful as the general who guarded the country.
Xie Yunan hesitated for a moment and said, "Four points at most."
"Bei Zhao has three chances. As long as you can draw the sword once, you will win." The Saint of Xiyue said with a smile.
This sword was dug out from the ground of Western Yue. The emperor of Western Yue searched the whole country but no one could pull out the sword. They had confidence in the broken sword.
"Who will your majesty send for the first extraction?" the saint said slowly.
Rong Che bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to be the first one."
Xu slightly tightened her handkerchief, and the lady beside her said, "Ah, General Rong is the first. Speaking of which... General Rong is over thirty years old and has not yet married. The girls in the capital are almost crying to death."
"Now in the capital, there are many girls eyeing him."
"She is a clean and self-disciplined person, and her family background is extraordinary. Her elder sister is the queen, so I don't know who will get the upper hand."
Xu frowned slightly and looked at Rong Che intently.
Rong Che walked to the broken sword, and as soon as he got close, he felt an extremely powerful force. That force was preventing him from getting closer...
Rong Che was quite surprised.
This sword has spirit.
He reached out and gently touched the broken sword. The broken sword was covered in rust and its original color could not be seen, but it exuded a sense of awe.
Sacred and inviolable.
"It is indeed a divine sword." Rong Che had seen countless divine weapons, but none of them could compare to the broken sword.
It’s hard to imagine how dazzling this sword should have been.
Rong Che looked at the sword, his eyes shining.
He spread his legs, exerted force with his feet, and placed his large palm on the hilt of the sword.
As soon as it covered the hilt of the sword, a majestic aura burst out.
He held the hilt tightly to prevent it from being bounced away.
Rong Che held the hilt of the sword with one hand, and the floor tiles under his feet exploded little by little with his strength.
The whole audience exclaimed.
"Oh my God, General Rong is said to have supernatural powers, but is there nothing we can do about it?" Everyone widened their eyes.
The floor tiles under General Rong's feet were cracking in all directions like a spider web.
Cold sweat broke out on General Rong's forehead, and veins bulged.
"ah!"
With a loud roar, the broken sword was slightly pulled out.
Before he could feel happy, a huge force bounced him away.
He crashed into a pillar and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xu clenched his fists, his fair face solemn. When he saw the blood, his brows slightly frowned.
"General Rong!" The imperial physician immediately stepped forward to treat General Rong.
Xu heaved a sigh of relief.
Saint Lady Jingli smiled and said, "It is said that General Rong has great strength, and it is indeed not an exaggeration." Four powerful warriors from Xiyue gathered together and barely managed to pull out a strand of strength.
Moreover, it was bounced away by the broken sword with even greater force.
The broken sword has spirit.
It is so proud that it won't allow anyone to touch it.
The Emperor of Beizhao had a serious look on his face, and when he saw Rong Che shaking his head slightly, his heart sank.
No wonder Xiyue was willing to send the broken sword to Beizhao, I'm afraid...
Even if he calculated it, no one could pull out this sword.
"Who's next?" the maid from Xiyue asked crisply.
Prince Xie Yunan stepped forward and was the second person to draw the sword.
Everyone in Beizhao frowned and watched anxiously.
really……
Within half an hour, the prince was bounced away again.
There was an eerie silence throughout the place.
If the treasure of Beizhao were to be lost to Xiyue, even his ancestor’s coffin would not be able to hold it in place.
This symbolizes the majesty of Bei Zhao.
The emperor's body was so low in pressure that the bones of his fingers holding the teacup turned slightly white.
The chief eunuch Wang Yuanlu even lowered his head, not daring to offend the emperor.
On the other hand, the people from Xiyue all had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that they had already anticipated the outcome.
"Who is the third one from Bei Zhao?"
The maid asked loudly with a hint of smile in her eyes.
The Saint of Xiyue leaned lazily on the couch, looking relaxed.
In this world, no one can pull out the broken sword.
Lu Chaochao looked at the Chaoyang Sword with a dazed look in his eyes.
Old man, are you here to see me?
"Emperor father, Chao Chao wants to draw the sword!" The little girl's voice was soft and cute, but the whole place was silent, so her voice was particularly obvious.
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Chaochao.
The Saintess of Xiyue burst out laughing: "Little guy, you are not even as good as the sword."
