Chapter 505 The Greatest Battle Under Heaven
As one of the seven nations in the Seven Heavens Continent, Yongxia Kingdom is most famous for its epic battle, the greatest war in the world.
Every year, the World's Number One Battle produces countless masters.
People from other countries even come here, hoping to make a name for themselves.
However, with the Marquis of Wansheng in charge of Yongxia State, the first place has never been taken by anyone else.
This is also the most admirable of Wan Shenghou's many legendary stories.
As long as Wan Shenghou is there, everyone else is basically just there to compete for second place.
At this moment, the main square of Yongxia City, the capital of Yongxia Kingdom, was already packed with people. Although the competition had not yet started, people had arrived early in order to secure the best spot.
Everyone knows that this year's battle for the title of "Number One Under Heaven" will be extremely fierce, because the royal family has actually offered the rare medicinal herb, Green Cattail Leaf, as a prize.
However, since Wan Shenghou is present, the final victory still belongs to him.
The rules of the competition are simple: anyone who believes they are capable can go up and compete, and the winner will advance to the next round.
When Leng Yun, Long Nu, and Xiao Li arrived at the square, it was already packed with people, completely surrounding the arena.
Fortunately, Xiao Li was a princess. With a single command, a squad of golden-armored soldiers let the three of them through a special passage.
Leng Yun arrived at the front of the first row of the arena and saw that the emperor standing on the stage was the same one he had met in the Spider Cave.
The emperor of Yongxia Kingdom was named Jing Anquan. He was in his forties, wearing a long golden robe, and had bright, piercing eyes.
"Welcome, everyone, to the Yongxia Kingdom. I won't go into the rules of the competition. Let's begin!" Jing An announced in a booming voice.
Afterwards, Jing An walked to the stands above the arena. Sitting next to him was Princess Jing Xia. When Xiao Li saw her father and sister, she did not rush over but stayed by Leng Yun's side.
Then, the host stepped onto the stage and said, "Now, anyone who thinks they have the ability can come up on stage to take on the challenge. We will arrange the competition rules according to the number of participants."
After he finished speaking, there was a pause for a few seconds.
Then, a man in a yellow robe walked up with a smug expression; it was none other than Marquis Wansheng.
A deafening roar immediately erupted from the audience, with many young men and women shouting the name of Wan Sheng Hou.
Jing An smiled and nodded in satisfaction, while Princess Jing Xia beside her was even more excited, after all, Marquis Wansheng was her fiancé.
Two full minutes passed before the surroundings quieted down, and then a few scattered people went up on stage and stood behind Wan Shenghou.
"Hehe, it seems that once Marquis Wansheng takes the stage, no one dares to go up."
"That's right. Look at the other contestants. Although they seem pretty strong, I don't think they are a match for Wan Shenghou."
"That's right, going up there would only result in a loss, and you'd just get beaten up for nothing."
Many people have already started discussing it.
Just then, a group of people and horses emerged from the crowd.
Then, a young man dressed in a red robe stepped out of the sedan chair and slowly walked onto the arena, looking arrogant and overbearing.
It was none other than the young master of Angu Kingdom whom Leng Yun had encountered before.
Even Jing Anquan frowned slightly upon seeing Young Master Hong's appearance, thinking to himself, "Why is he here?"
"This is Young Master Hong of Angu Kingdom, one of the three great young masters of Angu Kingdom. I heard he's very powerful, but he was once defeated by Marquis Wansheng. I guess he's here for revenge," Xiao Li explained to Leng Yun. Leng Yun nodded. It seemed that obtaining the Green-Eyed Cattail Leaf here wouldn't be an easy task for him.
As they were talking, Young Master Hong had already walked to the side of Marquis Wansheng.
"Hehe, Marquis Wansheng, long time no see. I wonder if your skills have improved?" Young Master Hong asked with a contemptuous look.
Marquis Wansheng sneered, "Hmph, so it's Young Master Hong. Do you want me to defeat you again?"
Young Master Hong snorted, not angry at all: "This time, let's see who's stronger."
After saying that, Young Master Hong stood aside.
"Brother Leng Yun, it's your turn to go on stage," Xiao Li said.
Leng Yun nodded and said to the dragon girl beside him, "You have to be careful. You don't have the ability right now, so don't do anything impulsive."
The Dragon Girl rolled her eyes at Leng Yun: "You don't need to tell me, just hurry up and go up."
However, Leng Yun was still a little worried, and his reminder was not without reason.
Since the Dragon Girl appeared, all the men in the square have been looking at her, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Leng Yun could sense from beside the Dragon Girl that she was extremely angry.
However, he had more important things to do, so he shook his head and stepped onto the ring.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to actually dare to come here," Wan Shenghou said, having already noticed Leng Yun's arrival.
Leng Yun sneered: "Not only am I here, but Xiao Li is here too, and he already knows about your dealings with Deng Liqi!"
Marquis Wansheng was startled, his face turning pale, but he quickly regained his composure: "I don't know what you're talking about, but this time I won't let you get away!"
He said fiercely that Leng Yun had snatched the treasure from his eyes time and time again.
Leng Yun shrugged, ignoring Wan Shenghou, and stood next to Hong Gongzi.
"Kid, the woman next to you is quite beautiful. Give her to me, and I can guarantee your life. How about it?" Young Master Hong said with a smile.
Leng Yun snorted but didn't say anything, thinking to himself that this young master Hong was really courting death, actually wanting to get the Dragon Girl.
A few minutes later, more than a dozen experts from various places stepped onto the stage, all eager to compete in the World's Number One Battle.
"Anyone else?"
the host asked.
"Anyone else?"
The surrounding audience looked around, and it seemed that no one else wanted to go on stage.
"In that case, then we shall—"
"and many more!"
The host was interrupted before he could finish speaking, and then a middle-aged man walked up from behind the crowd.
The middle-aged man wore a long blue robe, exuding an aura of majesty and dominance. His beard was neatly trimmed, and his eyes seemed to faintly radiate murderous intent.
"Lord Beihaihou!"
"It's actually the Marquis of Beihai! He's actually participating in the competition this year!"
"It looks like this year's competition is going to be very exciting!"
In the Yongxia Kingdom, the Marquis of Beihai was even a figure comparable to the Marquis of Wansheng.
Amidst a chorus of surprised exclamations, Marquis Beihai stepped onto the arena, his eyes fixed fiercely on Leng Yun.
"Boy, you're the one who killed my son and men. This time, I'll tear you to pieces!" the Marquis of Beihai thought viciously.
