Chapter 766

A Load of Nonsense

Early in the morning, a huge crowd surged into the Imperial City like a huge dragon.

In front of the majestic Throne Room, the incomparably huge floating platform was still standing quietly without collapsing.

Around the square, a dense crowd had already gathered. Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation. They all knew that today was the day of the Duel of Marquis.

After today's battle, three Marquises would be selected. Furthermore, the Azure Emperor would personally confer them the title of Marquis. It was a supreme honor and status.

The status of a Marquis was extremely high within the Imperial City. It was even much higher than that of the lords of the eight great counties. They were revered by countless people.

At this moment, Lü Hantian had already arrived at the square with Zhuowen. Of course, when Zhuowen entered the square, he naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Numerous burning gazes focused on him, causing Zhuowen to feel uncomfortable all over.

"This person is Zhuowen. It's hard to imagine that a genius from another county could enter the top five. This is the first time this has happened since the establishment of the Azure Emperor Leaderboard!"

"Have you heard about the assassination incident that happened last night?

It's said that the Glan, Feng, and Cao Families joined forces to assassinate this person. In the end, the outcome was shocking. This person single-handedly wiped out all the experts from the three great families. This time, the experts included six experts from the initial stage of the Xuanzun Realm. "

"What?

The experts from the Xuanzun Realm all died at the hands of this person. I heard that this person's cultivation is only at the ultimate Ninth Wheel Emperor Stage. How could he kill experts from the Xuanzun Realm? Isn't that too terrifying? "

Zhuo Wen's arrival attracted the attention of the most people. Whether it was Zhuo Wen's identity as a genius from the outer counties or the assassination attempt that shook the entire Imperial Capital last night, Zhuo Wen's name had already spread far and wide.

Around the square, countless people's gazes gathered on Zhuowen. Some were shocked, some were puzzled, and most of all, doubtful!

There was an insurmountable gap between a Nine-wheel Emperor and a cultivator from the Xuanzun Realm. Among all the geniuses in the Qing Xuan Empire, only the First Prince, Huangfu Wudao, and the mysterious Qing Yan could achieve this.

Zhuowen hadn't been very famous at first, and he had even been a nobody before. However, such a person was as terrifying as Huangfu Wudao and Qing Yan, who had been able to kill people of the Xuanzun Realm.

Such a shocking fact would naturally arouse the doubts of many martial artists. After all, Zhuowen was indeed a genius, but not to such an extent.

Although the news of the three great families of the Imperial City joining forces to kill Zhuowen had spread like wildfire last night, the Imperial City was, after all, a very large place. The number of martial artists who were able to come to the Intoxicated Spring Pavilion to watch the fight last night was, after all, a small minority. Most of the martial artists had only heard about it through hearsay.

It was precisely because of hearsay that most of the martial artists held a skeptical attitude towards what had happened last night.

With Zhuowen's keen perception, he could naturally sense that many of the gazes directed at him were filled with doubt and disbelief.

Zhuowen couldn't be bothered with these gazes. An ultimate Nine-wheel Emperor had been able to kill a cultivator from the Xuanzun Realm. It was an extremely unbelievable thing in the first place.

Zhuowen had been born with a humble background, and he hadn't been famous at first. It was only natural that he would be doubted by others.

When the Marquis Battle began later, Zhuowen knew that these doubts would vanish like smoke in thin air.

When Zhuowen arrived at the square, he immediately discovered that Qing Yan and Zhu Bai were already there.

Qing Yan and Zhu Bai also noticed Zhuowen's arrival. Zhu Bai's expression was cold. He glanced at Zhuowen indifferently, and then ignored him.

Qing Yan narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Zhuowen. A sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Zhuowen!

I hope your luck is bad later and you draw me in the first round. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to personally eliminate you. "

A cold voice rang out in Zhuowen's mind, causing Zhuowen to raise his eyebrows. He tilted his head and looked at Qing Yan, who was sneering at the corner of his mouth. It was Qing Yan who had sent him a voice transmission.

"On the contrary, if I draw you in the first round, it only proves that my luck is good enough. The one who will be eliminated will not be me, but you." Zhuowen's lips curled up as he also sent a voice transmission.

Qing Yan snorted coldly and replied, "You're quite confident. Unfortunately, when you meet me, I'm afraid you won't be so carefree!"

After saying that, Qing Yan stopped sending the voice transmission. Instead, he stood quietly in the middle of the square and stared mockingly at Zhuowen. He looked as if victory was already in his hands.

Zhuowen could not be bothered with Qing Yan, who was overflowing with confidence. If it was before his breakthrough, Zhuowen might be afraid of Qing Yan.

However, his cultivation was now on par with Qing Yan's. Moreover, his Spear Essence had reached the peak of perfection. To be honest, it would be extremely difficult for Qing Yan to defeat him, Zhuowen.

The funny thing was that Qing Yan did not know that. He thought that Zhuowen's cultivation was still at the late stage of the Nine-wheel Emperor Realm. He did not take Zhuowen seriously at all.

Whoosh!

The sound of something breaking through the air suddenly rang out. In the distance, two figures rushed over and arrived in the middle of the square in an instant.

One of them was a beautiful woman in a dark green dress. The other was a dignified middle-aged man with an imposing appearance. The two of them were Grand Haohai and Grand Lily who had rushed over from their residence.

As soon as Grand Haohai landed in the middle of the square, his gaze was fixed on Zhuowen. A faint murderous intent leaked out from his body.

Sensing the murderous intent from Grand Haohai, Zhuowen did not care at all. He said indifferently, "Patriarch Grand Haohai, don't forget the agreement between us. If my results in this Conferred Marquis Battle surpasses Grand Lily, your Grand Haohai will accept my letter of divorce!"

"If you still want to deny it, I, Zhuowen, don't mind revealing the marriage contract between your Grand Haohai Clan and our Zhuo Clan. I will also publicize some of your Grand Haohai Clan's actions."

Grand Haohai's gaze hardened. He was still staring at Zhuowen. He said in a low voice, "Do you really think that you have our Grand Haohai Clan?

I advise you not to be happy so early. "

"Oh?"

Hearing Grand Haohai's meaningful words, Zhuowen frowned. He could not help but look at Grand Lily beside him.

"Kid!

Grand Lily has made a breakthrough. She has also reached the level of a half-step Xuanzun Realm. "In his mind, Xiao Hei's voice suddenly sounded, causing Zhuowen's pupils to shrink.

He still remembered that Grand Lily's cultivation was similar to Zhuowen's ten days ago. They were both at the Advanced Ninth Wheel Emperor Realm.

However, in just ten days, Grand Lily's cultivation had actually soared to the half-step Xuanzun Realm. Wasn't this speed too fast?

Zhuowen was able to reach the half-step Xuanzun Realm in such a short time mainly because he had absorbed the blood essence of the six great Xuanzun Realm elders using the Blood Sucking Technique. Only then did he barely break through to the half-step Xuanzun Realm.

Grand Lily did not have the Blood Sucking Technique. The sudden increase in her cultivation immediately filled Zhuowen's heart with doubts.

Swoosh!

Another sound pierced through the air. An incomparably domineering figure suddenly shot out from the throne room. A terrifying aura overflowed in all directions, as if countless blades were slashing at him.

This domineering and emotionless figure was the First Prince of the Imperial Family, Huangfu Wudao. Huangfu Wudao leaped out and instantly reached the top of the square, falling like a meteorite.

"Get lost!"

Zhuowen's eyelids twitched. The direction that Huangfu Wudao was falling in was exactly where he was. Moreover, Huangfu Wudao had no intention of slowing down. He was directly falling towards Zhuowen's head.

With Huangfu Wudao's speed and the enormous aura that he emitted, if Zhuowen did not move aside, he would definitely have to take this attack head-on.

Huangfu Wudao's sudden action immediately caused many people in the surroundings to be stunned. Soon after, mocking gazes shot towards Zhuowen.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Huangfu Wudao's action was obviously directed at him.

Grand Lily and Qing Yan stared at this scene with mocking gazes. Although they were rather puzzled by Huangfu Wudao's sudden action, since it was directed at Zhuowen, they were naturally happy to watch the show.

Zhuowen's eyes flickered. In the end, he did not intend to clash head-on with Huangfu Wudao. After all, Huangfu Wudao was already an expert of the Xuanzun Realm. Coupled with the Nine-Headed Snake Armor Spirit, his strength was probably comparable to a Sovereign Stage expert.

There was no need for Zhuo Wen to face such an expert before the start of the Conferred Marquis Battle because there was no need to.

Zhuowen stomped his foot and took a few steps back, leaving the place where he was just now.

Rumble!

Huangfu Wudao landed on the spot. His terrifying aura caused the surrounding ground to crack inch by inch, forming a crater that was several feet deep.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The moment Huangfu Wudao landed, five invisible Qi blades shot out from his body and shot towards Zhuo Wen. They reached him in the blink of an eye.

Zhuo Wen's pupils constricted slightly as he gazed at the five blades of air that flew over. Huangfu Wudao's intentions were truly too obvious. Zhuo Wen wasn't an idiot, and he'd discerned with a single glance that the former was simply targeting him.

With a flip of his right hand, a bone spear appeared in Zhuowen's hand. With a shake of his right hand, a blue spear shadow erupted and blasted against the five air blades.

Bang!

Suddenly, the five air blades and the blue spear shadow were in a deadlock in the air. Then, they suddenly exploded, completely annihilating the air blades and the spear shadow.

Deng Deng Deng!

Zhuowen took three steps back. His gaze became even more gloomy, and there were some doubts in his heart.

Zhuowen and Huangfu Wudao had never dealt with each other before. It was really puzzling that Huangfu Wudao would target him like this today.

"Huangfu Wuji?"

Soon, Zhuowen guessed the other person. It was the second prince, Huangfu Wuji.

After all, Huangfu Wuji was Huangfu Wudao's second brother. Although the two didn't have a good relationship, they were still related by blood.

As for Zhuo Wen, he had forcefully eliminated Huangfu Wuji in the top five. This naturally caused Huangfu Wuji to feel as if he had lost all face. Thus, the current scene had occurred.

"You're a lowly person, but you do have some strength!

Unfortunately, is a lowly commoner like you really qualified to participate in the Conferred Marquis Battle? "

Countless clouds of dust swept away, revealing Huangfu Wudao's domineering and cold face. His cruel eyes stared indifferently at Zhuo Wen, while his face was filled with an arrogant expression.

"What a joke, what a bunch of nonsense!

This Marquis Battle is presided over by Emperor Qing. As the first prince of the imperial family, you openly look down on the Marquis Battle. Do you not put Emperor Qing in your eyes? "
