There is no marker to start the fight. Fang Yin and Emperor Jing were seen both waiting and did not immediately take the initiative to attack first.
Everyone looked tense looking at the center of the match. They did not know that the two would only fight sword arts. It was conceivable that if the two strong cultivators were to clash with power within, the entire kingdom would become shattered.
"Let's start."
Fang Yin did not want to wait any longer. He leaped before Emperor Jing and attacked him first.
His swinging sword dynamically produced an astonishingly beautiful movement. The moves that Fang Yin played were fairly rare, only being mastered by people who studied the Book of the Nine Dragons.
The first movement is slow and similar to dance. However, over time the movement became very fast and difficult to guess. No doubt that nameless sword style stunned Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing played it easy. After Fang Yin began to emit deadly movements, he also balanced it with the sword stance he mastered.
As an emperor who had gone through many fights and defeated hundreds of warriors, facing Fang Yin was no big deal to him. In addition to great skill, Emperor Jing also had experiences that made him more prepared.
Both of them fought very seriously and showed their prowess. The couple made everyone who saw the fight tickle in awe. It has not been seen who will win or lose because they are equally great.
"Truly I do not see the flawed movement of the two. No wonder His Majesty is so interested and wants Miss Xiao Yin to be his wife." The person in dark blue clothes spoke.
"You're right. The country will be stronger if they unite. The descendants of the ice tribe were indeed undoubtedly his prowess." The guy in black clothes chimed in.
Their mouths continued to be confused with words that represented the contents of their hearts. Sometimes they were tense, amazed, and amazed by the dangerous movements in that sword match.
The sun started to move up. But the fight has not yet determined who is superior. Both Emperor Jing and Fang Yin were still excited and continued to bring out their abilities.
Both bodies were bathed in sweat. The sun makes them feel thirsty. Their throats are drying out.
"Xiao Yin! We'd better take a break and rest." Emperor Jing spoke to Fang Yin on the sidelines of his fight.
"Are your enemies on the battlefield waiting for you to rest and drink wine?" Fang Yin smiled mockingly.
Actually he was also very thirsty and tired, but he did not want to buy time and wanted to end this fight immediately. He thought hard how to end the game as soon as possible.
'In the agreement is not clearly explained the terms. Didn't Emperor Jing just say that he shouldn't use his inner strength when fighting? Then it won't be a problem if I bring out the teleportation technique.' Fang Yin smiled happily.
The teleportation technique he had was indeed rudimentary, but it was enough to deal with an opponent who did not possess the same technique.
Emperor Jing swung his sword towards Fang Yin who looked off guard. The movement of the opponent who slowed down he interpreted as the beginning of his victory. He was very confident that his attack this time would lock in his movements.
"What?!" cry Emperor Jing when he finds Fang Yin's body disappearing.
He did not expect that Fang Yin would master the teleportation technique.
People who see a reflex match stand up and feel tense. There was no sound and some of them held their breath.
Fang Yin emerged from an unexpected direction, attacking Emperor Jing with his sword. The shocking attack managed to make Emperor Jing a throb. However, he was able to immediately cope with the situation.
He managed to overcome Fang Yin's attack despite not seeing the direction of his arrival. The realm of gods does have an incredible sharpness of instinct. It is capable of detecting short-range though invisible energy waves.
Fang Yin's attack did not provide satisfactory results for him. He began to rethink to carry out attacks that could potentially bring victory.
It flashed a simple stance that he had not used in fighting for a long time. The Shadow Degrading Technique combined with the teleportation technique didn't seem too bad, he thought.
Without a second thought, Fang Yin immediately combined those techniques and moves to attack Emperor Jing. In addition to the original attack, Fang Yin also used a trick of a trick attack to outwit.
Originally Emperor Jing was still able to deal with Fang Yin's attacks. However, the higher the level of the Shadow Demolishing Steps, the more difficult the movements were to overcome.
'This boy turned out to have a lot of secret techniques. Should I lose to him?'
Just as the thought had appeared on Emperor Jing's head, Fang Yin's sword had already stuck to his neck.
Everything was over and Emperor Jing raised his hand a sign of him giving up.
"I lost to you, Miss Xiao."
Fang Yin pulled out his sword then removed it from sight. Emperor Jing did the same. They looked at each other with equally bad circumstances. Their bodies were drenched in sweat with gasping breaths.
After their bodies began to be controlled again, the two walked over. They were both silent a thousand languages, dissolving in their respective minds.
Emperor Jing took Fang Yin away to his palace and sat down in the open. The waiters were busy preparing snacks for them. Thirst encourages both of them to immediately drink the refreshing honey water. Unasked, the servants already knew what they wanted.
Their bodies are fresh again. Emperor Jing continued to stare at Fang Yin barely blinking. That was all he could do after suffering a defeat. The hope of having it is gone
"Miss Xiao. Did you really reject me? Don't you give me a chance to get your heart?" Emperor Jing's gentle speech sounded like a compulsion to Fang Yin.
No matter how much effort Emperor Jing put in, he would still not flinch. The mission he had carried out was still long and he had instilled confidence in the heart where he would not marry before his revenge was avenged and his honor returned or all his efforts so far would be in vain.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. With a heavy heart I cannot accept it. My body I have given as my form of worship to my father. I promised her I wouldn't stop until I realized her hope."
Fang Yin did not explain who his father was and what goals he wanted to achieve.
Hearing his words implying decisiveness, Emperor Jing tried to understand. What the woman did before him was not merely to prove that she was the strongest. However, a moral burden that concerns his family.
If Emperor Jing was faced with this kind of circumstance, perhaps he would also take the same steps as Fang Yin would. At least he had his own pride of ever knowing her and expressing his heart.
"I owe you a lot, Miss Xiao. Please keep this book well."
Emperor Jing thrust the Nine Dragons Book of seven-star dragons appear in his palm before Fang Yin.
"I just wanted to borrow it. One day I'll give it back to you." Fang Yin accepted the book.
"Until that time, the state of my heart for you will never change. I'll gladly accept you if you change your mind."
Actually Fang Yin felt uneasy with those words. However, he tried to act ordinary and nodded. His rejection was already too painful, nor should he add to the pain over and over again.
After the business was over, they resumed drinking together. The feeling of happiness after obtaining the book that he was willing to make Fang Yin's mood different. He was a little friendly to Emperor Jing and responded to his chatter despite being a joke.
In the distance, the empress and the concubines looked at the two with feelings of jealousy. This was the first time for them to see their husband being able to laugh freely with a foreign woman. They were very confident that Emperor Jing had truly fallen in love with Fang Yin.
Elsewhere, somewhere else,
Jian Heng and his two bodyguards had entered the territory of the Northern Continent. He visited the place where they had previously met and asked the surrounding residents. However, no one knew of Fang Yin's existence.
The supplies brought by them had been exhausted, Jian Heng decided to take his two guards away to a tavern. They wanted to eat there and fill up the supplies before continuing the journey.
"Where is our next destination, Your Majesty?" ask the guard in white.
Jian Heng was silent while thinking. He closed his eyes for a moment and felt the spell he had cast on Fang Yin's body. His existence was far enough from there that he could not figure out his whereabouts.
"He's still a long way from here," Jian Heng honestly said.
The two guards looked at each other. They did not know the strange ability that his master possessed. However, they believed that Jian Heng was not trying to fool around or lie.
In the middle of enjoying the food, they accidentally heard the conversation of two soldiers who were also eating there. They were talking about their emperor and a veiled woman.
"It's a shame we can't see their fight. Must be really exciting. I felt annoyed at the advisors who gave this task and missed the opportunity to see their prowess."
Jian Heng was very confident that the person they were talking about was Fang Yin. His appetite suddenly disappeared. He was too excited and wanted to quickly catch up with Fang Yin before he lost his trail again.
The two bodyguards were astonished to see Jian Heng's change in attitude. Even so, they did not dare to ask him.
"If you're done, we need to get out of here as soon as possible." Jian Heng got up from his seat and intended to wait for his bodyguard outside. However, both of his bodyguards did not want to make him wait and chose to leave their food behind.
Ordinary horses would not arrive at their destination quickly, Jian Heng gave their three horses an energy pill that the price of a grain was many times their price. Both of his bodyguards were aghast, but they did not dare to comment.
After swallowing the pill, the three horses were able to dart to heights and fly without wings. The two guards Jian Heng had yet to get used to and held firmly to their horses.
The Northern Continent Imperial Palace that should have been taken within a day overnight, they could reach within half a day. Jian Heng kept thinking about Fang Yin and did not want to lose track of him. Perhaps, the three of them would arrive by nightfall.
Jian Heng spurred on his horse like he was when he was racing it on the mainland. He was too excited and impatient to be able to meet Fang Yin immediately.
Both of his guards were left far behind and were trying to chase him with great difficulty. This was their first experience riding an ordinary horse that was forced to fly. They did not blame Jian Heng who was willing to give the expensive pill for the sake of immediately finding a person who was believed to be able to cure his father.
The sun slowly descended and dimmed in the western horizon. The three people slowed down their horse speed when they entered the capital. After looking at the imperial palace of the Northern Continent, Jian Heng took the lead to go down and run their horses slowly.
With his identity as the third prince of the Middle Continent would not make it difficult for him to meet Emperor Jing. The two kingdoms had never been at odds before.
The Northern Continent warrior standing guard in front of the gate immediately opened the door for them as Jian Heng showed his token of nobility. They bowed respectfully and let them in.
Arriving inside the palace, Jian Heng reported to the special bodyguards to convey his arrival to Emperor Jing. After a while of waiting, they asked him to enter and waited for the emperor to meet him in the main hall.
Jian Heng sensed Fang Yin's existence there. His heart became relieved. It's not too late to pick up her boyfriend.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Jian Heng fused his hands together saluting the newly arrived Emperor Jing.
Emperor Jing returned the homage and asked Jian Heng to sit down again.
"Wind what brings you here, Prince. I'm flattered by your visit but I feel if your arrival has a purpose."
"You're right, Your Majesty. I came here to pick up someone very important. I hope you don't mind handing it over to us," Jian Heng said politely.
Emperor Jing did not understand Jian Heng's words. He did not know who the guest of honor meant.
"Can you explain about someone you mean, Prince?" Emperor Jing scrunched his forehead.
Jian Heng explained about Fang Yin's traits and the information of his whereabouts that he had overheard accidentally from his soldiers. He did not tell any lies and told if the two knew each other before.
Jealous seeds appeared in Emperor Jing's heart. He was envious of the closeness between them even though Jian Heng did not tell him so vividly. Inwardly he wished that Xiao Yin who was in his palace was not Xiao Yin whom Jian Heng meant.
Emperor Jing asked his bodyguards to call Fang Yin before him. During the wait for his arrival, the two men who both had feelings for Fang Yin fell silent. Both play with their minds and guess.
The two bodyguards Jian Heng sat beside him felt something strange about the two great men. They were very sure if the two had an unusual relationship with the woman who was waiting for his presence.
Jian Heng's heartbeat spurred along with the sound of someone's footsteps being heard heading there. Fang Yin's shadow had yet to be seen, but he already felt the scent of his body.
He knew her more closely than he knew his own family because the sign became an invisible bond between the two. How far Fang Yin went, he would still find her and would never go wrong.
The tension on Emperor Jing's face was very clearly visible. He still hoped that if Fang Yin was not, the woman that Prince Xi Jian Heng was looking for.
Fang Yin entered the room without much thought. His steps were so relaxed that he saw a man he knew very well. For a moment he stood his sculptured stupor bewitched by Jian Heng's appearance which looked different. He is caught between illusion and reality.
The identity of Jian Heng as Emperor Xi's third son could not be covered up anymore. From today Fang Yin will find out about who he really is.
Jian Heng got up from his seat and was stunned to see Fang Yin. They stared at each other in silence.
"Ehem! Please sit down, Miss!" Emperor Jing resuscitated their daydream.
Fang Yin sat on the chair opposite Jian Heng and Jian Heng again sat on his chair.
Emperor Jing tried to remain ordinary despite his turbulent heart. His lungs seemed to stop pumping air and made his chest feel tight.
