Chapter 585 Who Lost
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Tao slowly came to the center of the field. He was calm and composed, and exuded a powerful aura.
"I am a student of the Martial God Academy. No matter how great your swordsmanship is, you must die here today!" Lu Tao's voice was cold and ruthless.
"It seems that someone who can fight has finally arrived!" Yang Jian glanced at him indifferently, but when he heard about the Martial God Academy, his eyes clearly fluctuated.
Because the admission requirements for the Martial God Academy are extremely stringent, only cultivators who rank among the top five in an empire and have extremely amazing talents can be admitted.
Facing the equally powerful Lu Tao, Yang Jian gradually became serious. His aura suddenly surged, and his strength reached its peak.
"Oh my God, this Yang Jian hasn't even used all his strength to fight back!" The cultivators of the Haoyue Empire couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Princess Qingxian's attention was now completely focused on Lu Tao in the field, and her hands were even clenched together nervously. She really hoped that Lu Tao could win a great victory.
The two men in the field immediately started a fierce battle.
"Suppress the Yunxian Ding for me!" Lu Tao came up and directly pinched the magic formula, and sacrificed an ancient small tripod. The tripod continued to expand in the air, and in an instant it turned into the size of a small mountain. The mysterious runes on it all lit up and suppressed Yang Jian.
"Boom" The speed of the cauldron was too fast. Even though Yang Jian tried his best to dodge, he was still taken into the cauldron. Then the runes on the cauldron burst out with flames, which actually refined Yang Jian directly.
Although the big cauldron had no lid, it was wrapped in a layer of mysterious energy, and Yang Jian was unable to escape despite his constant collisions.
"My dear son-in-law, you are really capable!" The emperor of Haoyue Empire shouted excitedly when he saw this scene. After being suppressed for so long, he finally saw the hope of winning.
"Too strong!" Princess Qingxian's beautiful eyes flashed with strange light. She didn't expect that Yang Jian, who had been suppressing everyone, was actually captured directly.
"It seems that this Yang Jian is nothing special!" The imperial teacher of Haoyue Empire also stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
"Lu Tao is mighty! Lu Tao is domineering!" The soldiers of the Haoyue Empire had been depressed for so long. When they saw him come up and suppress the opponent forcefully in the cauldron, they immediately cheered, and the sound waves were like mountains and seas, rushing straight into the sky.
"It seems that you are just so-so. Watch me refine you!" When Lu Tao heard the cheers of the crowd, a smug look appeared on his face. At the same time, he even had time to wink at Princess Qingxian, meaning that he was stronger than Lu Hao.
Princess Qingxian blushed when Lu Tao stared at her with fiery gaze.
However, before everyone could be happy for long, Yang Jian roared, and thousands of sword lights burst out from his body, and he broke out of the cauldron violently.
"Puff!" Lu Tao showed an expression of disbelief and spat out a mouthful of blood. His life-saving magic weapon was actually shattered. Only now did he understand how terrifying the man in front of him was.
"Sky Fire Meteor!" Lu Tao didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He used his hands to make a series of complicated spells. The sky instantly turned red like a fire cloud. At the same time, huge fireballs fell from the sky, and the air was constantly distorted by the burning.
"It's actually the Sky Fire Meteor. This is a saint-level spell, and Lu Tao actually practiced it successfully. It's incredible!" Many people looked at the huge fireballs and exclaimed in amazement.
"Thirteen Swords of Stars!" Yang Jian's face showed a solemn expression, and thirteen immortal swords condensed in front of him. Each immortal sword was madly absorbing the power of the stars, and then all the complex runes on the sword lit up in an instant, bursting out with sword light that soared into the sky.
"Boom!" Amidst countless surprised gazes, the two men's strongest blows collided fiercely with each other. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, followed by a terrifying energy shock wave that swept in all directions. The waves formed by flames spread rapidly like a storm.
"Puff!" Yang Jian was hit by a huge fireball and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and took more than ten steps back.
Lu Tao's chest was pierced by a sword, and the powerful energy shock wave caused his blood to surge. He spurted out a mouthful of blood again and finally fell to the ground. He had no strength to fight anymore. Princess Qingxian quickly rescued him and stopped the bleeding.
"You are very strong, the strongest among these people. This is enough for you to be proud of, because I have stayed in the great perfection of the Golden Core Realm for a full twenty years!" Yang Jian did not continue to chase Lu Tao, but chuckled.
"You are indeed very strong. My defeat is not unfair at all!" Lu Tao spat out another mouthful of blood. Although he was defeated, he was very happy to receive such high praise from the other party. He felt that he had won honor in defeat.
The two of them actually exchanged a few words, with a bit of heroes admiring each other.
Lu Tao held his head high, chest puffed out, and with the help of Princess Qingxian, he withdrew from the battle. He looked so proud that those who didn't know him would think he had won the battle.
Lu Hao almost vomited when he saw Yang Jian and Lu Tao showing off and boasting to each other.
He didn't have the chance to play, otherwise he would have let everyone know what a true strong person is.
Although Lu Tao was defeated, he was still treated well. Princess Qingxian took care of him and also got him a chair. After all, he was the only one who could fight with Yang Jian for so long.
Moreover, Lu Tao is very young, only in his thirties. If he continues to practice, with his potential, he may have a chance to defeat Yang Jian in the future. By then, the Haoyue Empire will welcome a Jindan powerhouse comparable to Yang Jian. Such a person is worth focusing on training.
Therefore, the emperor not only did not oppose the marriage between Princess Qingxian and Lu Tao, but he was quite supportive of it. A beauty should naturally be matched with a hero.
Faced with Lu Tao's defeat, the emperor not only did not blame him, but also comforted him in a kind voice and encouraged him to practice well and continue to perform brilliantly.
Everyone also felt that Lu Tao was just unlucky, encountering such a powerful cultivator as soon as he appeared. If he had met other cultivators, he would have been able to win easily.
"The next contestant from Haoyue Empire is on stage!" the referee said slowly.
However, everyone waited for a long time, but no one from the Haoyue Empire came on the field.
"What's going on!" Everyone was talking about it, not understanding what was going on.
"Your Majesty, the remaining contestant was afraid of being killed and fled in panic!" said a commander-in-chief with a very ugly expression.
"What do you mean by fleeing without fighting?" Upon hearing this, the emperor could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Is it really God's will to destroy the Haoyue Empire?" The emperor felt his blood boiling, blood kept flowing out of his mouth, and he almost died.
"Meng De, it seems it's your turn." The emperor forced himself to swallow the blood in his mouth and spoke slowly.
"Didn't you tell me to shut up before? You can just find another person to play. You're the best at giving away kills anyway." Lu Hao raised the corner of his mouth and sneered. He still remembered the other party's expression of disdain for him playing.
