Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 1473
Chapter 1473 Defeat!
Han Ye thought that his plot was under control, but he did not know that all of this could not change anything.
After dealing with Guan Ju Shou, Han Ye went to the next target …
Five days later, the finals began. The arena was set up in the Imperial Palace Square. Early in the morning, a huge arena had risen up. The arena was shining with light, and the formations fluctuated. Symbols could be faintly seen within the formations, emitting an extremely powerful aura.
The officials of the court all appeared on a high stage on the east side of the plaza. Below the stage was a crowd of over 50,000 spectators.
All the qualified contestants appeared under the platform on the east side. Eighteen giant drums stood on both sides of the platform. The sound of drums was deafening and filled with excitement, causing one’s blood to boil.
A minister dressed in luxurious robes stood up from the chair beneath him, his hands on the empty platform, and the drums stopped.
“That’s the prime minister of the dynasty! The tournament is about to begin!”
“Could it be that the competition this time was presided over by the Prime Minister? I still came to see what the new Emperor looks like. I’m really disappointed!”
“How could the new emperor personally preside over the competition? It would be good to have a prime minister!”
The crowd around the arena began to discuss. Many people had actually come to see the new emperor. Everyone had heard that the new emperor was the reincarnated golden body of the Qin Emperor back then. Who knew that no one had seen his figure at this time? Many people were disappointed.
At this moment, the Prime Minister on the stage said loudly, “Everyone, quiet down. Today is the finals of the Martial Competition. I believe everyone is looking forward to the results today, because today we will elect our new emperor! Now everyone applaud to welcome His Majesty!”
The crowd immediately became excited. It was great that His Majesty the new Emperor would come.
Thunderous applause echoed through the sky. Following the applause, a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky. A seven-colored throne appeared on the bridge. Qin Fei’s figure appeared on the bridge and looked down at the world.
Everyone was extremely excited when they saw the new emperor appear. They raised their heads to see him carefully, but they discovered that their vision could not penetrate the rainbow light, so they could only vaguely see Qin Fei’s outline.
The prime minister led the civil and military officials to stand up and fly towards Qin, shouting heaven-shaking.
Qin Fei said softly, “No need for courtesy.” Then, he looked at the group of contestants below the platform and said, “Today is a big day for you to sit on this throne under me. I hope you can go all out!”
“Your Majesty’s Sacred Oracle!” All the contestants replied excitedly.
“Then, let the competition begin! You can let go of your hands and feet on the arena and unleash all of your strength! I have already laid down a restriction to protect the safety below the arena!” Qin Fei said.
The drums rang out like thunder. After knocking for half an hour, the competition officially began. According to the drawing of lots, the contestants entered the arena. The first pair appeared on the arena was an Empyrean and an Earth Empyrean. Their strengths were extremely different, and the winner and loser were determined very quickly.
About two hours later, there were only ten people left on the stage, all of whom were experts at the fifth level of the Empyrean Realm or above.
Qin Fei looked at these ten people. Among them was Bo Tian.
This performance of Bo Tian confused many people below the stage, especially Fang Yuan and Kuishan. They were puzzled. Five days ago, Bo Tian was only an Earth Sovereign. Now, in just five days, he had already become a Heavenly Sovereign. Furthermore, he had reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Sovereign, leaving them far behind.
Just as everyone thought that the new emperor would choose a successor among these ten people, and that the ten people would start several grand battles, Qin Fei flew down from the Rainbow Bridge and floated above the arena, saying, “Let’s end the tournament here! The new emperor will be Bo Tian!”
The moment he said this, everyone present was shocked. What did this mean? Before the competition was over, the new emperor had already decided on a candidate. What exactly was going on? Irregularities? This is too unfair.
The officials didn’t say anything. Although they were puzzled in their hearts, they had been ministers for many years. They were the most clear about the decision made by the leader. It was best not to speak out on their own to avoid provoking the new emperor.
The crowd around the arena didn’t have that kind of awareness anymore. They all showed great dissatisfaction, especially the nine people besides Bo Tian. They were even more dissatisfied with Qin Fei’s words. Wasn’t this just playing with them?
“My Emperor, isn’t this unfair?” Finally, someone asked Qin Fei. This was a minister. Everyone recognized him. He was the general in charge of the Imperial City’s defense, Li Zhai.
Qin Fei looked at him indifferently and said, “I am the emperor, and the entire dynasty is mine. I said that Ding Bo Tian is the new emperor, I don’t need to explain to you!”
Li Zhai loudly said, “Your Majesty’s words are not fair to others. This will make everyone’s hearts go cold. Please change your mind and not shake the foundation of the dynasty!”
Qin Fei sneered and said, “Foundation? This Emperor is here, the foundation is there! As for whether it is fair or not, this Emperor can discuss it with you! You nine step out!”
He looked at the nine contestants besides Bo Tian.
The nine of them subconsciously took two steps forward. Qin Fei extended his finger and saw a black dot of light floating above their heads, emitting a surging power of contract.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this black dot of light. This was the power of a contract, which meant that the nine of them were already under someone’s control.
In that case, their purpose in participating in the competition was not simple. The auras of the nine spots of light were identical, indicating that they were all controlled by one person.
Li Zhai’s expression changed drastically and he subconsciously retreated. However, how could Qin Fei let him go? He pointed out and a chain of starlight instantly locked him up. He dragged him onto the arena. Li Zhai’s face was ashen and he looked at Qin Fei in horror.
Qin Fei said coldly, “This Emperor will never do anything unfair! Now it’s time for the mastermind behind the scenes to come out and meet him!”
The mastermind behind this?
The crowd looked around in astonishment. Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes was right here?
Qin Fei waved his arm, and a chain of starlight flew out from the void, then disappeared into the depths of the palace.
Inside the Phoenix Hall, Han Ye was panicking as she rushed out of the hall gate. She had already learned of what had happened on the field of play and knew that she was powerless to resist. Now, she only wanted to escape.
Only now did she realize that Qin Fei could not be concealed from her little thoughts.
Just as she walked out of the hall and was about to leave, A long chain of starlight shot towards her from afar. Her expression changed in horror. She jumped up and tried to escape. However, the chain’s speed was like a meteor. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of her. The terrifying pressure sealed off all the surrounding space, leaving her with no way to escape. The chain rolled up, locking her body, and then quickly flew towards the plaza.
Dong …
Under the gazes of everyone, Han Ye landed heavily on the arena. She put away the chains and her face was ashen. Looking at the dense crowd below the arena, her heart was shattered. She knew that she was doomed at this moment.
When she saw that Li Zhai was also locked up, a hint of despair flashed through her eyes.
Li Zhai and her exchanged glances, and they also felt powerless.
Qin Fei looked coldly at the two of them and said to everyone that the reason why he chose Bo Tian as the new emperor was because he was the only one who was not controlled by anyone, while the others had actually signed a contract of allegiance by Han Ye. How could such a person take on the heavy responsibility of the new emperor?
Everyone was discussing in succession, accusing Han Ye of doing such a disrespectful thing in unison. It was truly hateful.
Han Ye’s face was pale. She looked around. Everyone pointed at her and cursed loudly. This made her more and more angry. She knew that there was no place for her to stand. She simply gritted her teeth and shouted at the sky, “All of you, attack!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the contestants under her control burst out with a heaven-destroying aura, attacking the people beside them and launching a massacre.
At the same time, Li Zhai shouted at the soldiers guarding the square, “Kill them all!”
These soldiers unleashed their profound artifacts one after another, killing the chaotic people in the plaza. Fresh blood immediately sprayed out like spring water from all over the plaza. The smell of blood permeated the heavens and earth.
Qin Fei watched this scene coldly. He didn’t expect Han Ye and Li Zhai to jump over the wall and prepare to fight for their lives.
He sighed and pointed at the void. Thousands of starlight appeared in the void. A huge hole appeared in the sky. Countless starlight sprayed into the plaza. One starlight after another entered the murderer’s body. A crisp explosion sounded, and then it exploded.
