Chapter 68: Chapter 68 - Duke Lin Yanghai
In the sky, there was a massive luxurious carriage, being pulled by numerous Heavenly Steeds, cutting through the air at an impressive speed.
What was even more impressive was that surrounding it were numerous knights mounted on Heavenly Steeds, escorting the carriage as if they were guards.
Each Heavenly Steed exuded the aura of a beast of the Royal Realm, and each knight revealed the aura of the peak of the Royal Realm.
There was even a commander among them who emitted the aura of a Half-Step Saint!
After all, this was the legendary Royal Guard of the Yushan Dynasty, an elite force reserved solely for the protection of imperial family members during their formal travels, representing the military might of the Yushan Dynasty.
Suddenly, a young figure with his hands behind his back appeared in front of the massive entourage, causing it to halt instantly.
As the commander was about to advance to reprimand him, the figure casually raised a hand, and countless sword rays shot from his fingers.
SWISH!
The commander didn't even have time to open his mouth to rebuke the young man when suddenly, a sword energy struck his forehead, and his thoughts fell into eternal darkness!
Not just the commander, but all the knights in the sky were struck in the forehead without even having time to react and were killed instantly.
At the same time, the young man spoke with murderous intent towards the carriage:
"Yu Ganghu, how dare you covet my younger sister?"
"Come out and die!"
However, the carriage remained in a deathly silence. Just as Song Yang was about to advance, a somewhat elderly figure emerged from the carriage. Upon seeing Song Yang, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise before finally sighing.
"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, it seems there has been some misunderstanding?"
At this moment, Lin Yanghai was truly confused about why Song Yang had interrupted their path. As for Song Yang's identity, he naturally recognized him.
After all, following Song Yang's rise as the greatest genius of the eastern region, virtually all important figures had obtained a portrait of him.
"Misunderstanding? So this foolish prince isn't trying to covet my younger sister?" Song Yang mocked disdainfully.
"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince, I respect you, but if you dare to insult the Third Prince of my dynasty in front of me, I cannot stand idly by!"
"This marriage was decided by the two emperors. Who do you think you are to intervene in this matter?"
"The Yushan Dynasty will demand an explanation!"
Hearing Song Yang mock Yu Ganghu, Lin Yanghai couldn't help but show a look of anger and reprimanded him
He, Duke Lin Yanghai of the Yushan Dynasty, the most trusted subordinate of His Majesty, had been personally chosen to escort the Third Prince in this marriage proposal.
And now, in his presence, this Eighth Prince dared to show disdain for the Third Prince. If this reached His Majesty's ears, what would His Majesty think of him?
But at the same time, he didn't want to fully offend the Eighth Prince.
After all, the two dynasties were about to become allies, and Song Yang would likely be the next emperor of the Zhenfang Dynasty.
Therefore, if he apologized to the Third Prince at that moment, Lin Yanghai would be willing to let the matter pass.
"An explanation? Haha!"
"If you can endure three of my moves, maybe I'll consider giving an explanation to this small Yushan Dynasty."
Hearing Lin Yanghai's words, Song Yang couldn't help but laugh. His true goal was to incite conflict between the dynasties; how could he offer an explanation?
"Arrogant boy!"
Hearing Song Yang's words, Lin Yanghai, who was already enraged, couldn't contain his fury. He disappeared from the spot, ready to teach Song Yang a lesson.
Lin Yanghai wanted to show the Eighth Prince that, even though he had reached the Saint Realm, there was a vast gap between a newly promoted Saint and a veteran of the Saint Realm like him, who had already become a Saint of 8 Stars!
"Too slow, too slow."
Seeing Lin Yanghai advancing to attack, Song Yang murmured disdainfully and casually raised a finger, just as he had done at the auction. A terrifying sword intent began to gather at his finger.
"You dare to underestimate me??"
Seeing Song Yang's behavior, as if he wanted to face him with just a finger, Lin Yanghai couldn't help but feel slighted and became even more enraged.
But the next moment, he felt a majestic sword energy emanating from Song Yang's finger and coming towards him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of impending crisis
Without hesitation, Lin Yanghai activated his Sacred Law of Gold and simultaneously used his strongest move to try to resist Song Yang's attack.
'Celestial Grave Fist'
This was a medium-grade sacred technique that he had learned by chance and considered his most powerful move.
In the next instant, the enormous fist covered with a golden halo collided with Song Yang's casual sword energy, causing a massive explosion.
BANG!
BANG!
Without any suspense, after the impact, Lin Yanghai was forced to retreat dozens of steps. When he finally managed to stop, he couldn't avoid spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Oh, you didn't die?"
Observing the injured Lin Yanghai, Song Yang couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that he managed to withstand his casual attack.
In the next instant, a sword appeared in Song Yang's hand.
Lin Yanghai, who had just recovered and was still surprised—after all, Song Yang managed to injure him without even using the Sacred Law—couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing Song Yang's sword:
"How do you possess a medium-grade sacred sword?"
Seeing the medium-grade sacred weapon, Lin Yanghai's heart couldn't help but freeze.
If Song Yang managed to injure him like that without using a weapon, what would happen if he used a medium-grade sacred sword?
At this moment, Lin Yanghai realized he had no chance against Song Yang.
While considering whether to burn his vital essence to try to escape with the Third Prince, Song Yang's voice sounded again, leaving him completely desperate
"It seems you understand the Sacred Law of Gold, right?"
"Then I'll grant you the honor of witnessing the power of a Sacred Law of Gold, perfected to its fullest, before you die."
