Travels to the Holy Light Continent

Chapter 147: Sword Master of Earth

When we returned to Huizhou City, my father asked, "Third brother, do you think he would agree to peace talks if we really won?"

"No! If he were that easy to talk to, he wouldn't deserve to be called the Lion King!"

"Then you promised to give up a province if you lose? Are you lying too?"

"Just let him in. I will move all the food away. If he dares to come in, I will kill him. If he doesn't dare, it's not my fault!" I said with a sinister smile.

"Ah!? Is this possible?!" said the father in astonishment.

"What's the big deal? War is all about deception! Neither of us can get anything out of this. We have to give an explanation to His Majesty, and he has to give an explanation to the people of Zhao, so this is the only solution we have!"

"Then should we still fight seriously?"

"Of course, if we win the duel it will boost the confidence of the soldiers. Besides, no matter who is sent to die, it's a life, right?" I nodded.

The three days passed quickly and we arrived at the square as planned. Only one side of the duel field had pavilions and fruits, while ours was bare. This lion king really loves to do some clever things.

"Haha! I thought you would prepare it yourselves. I'm so sorry, nephew!"

"Oh! It's okay! I already knew that Zhao was poor, and I didn't expect you to come up with anything good."

The implication was that Zhao was so poor that it couldn't even afford a duel field. The Lion King snorted in anger. I took out a capsule from the space ring, pressed the capsule and threw it forward, and then a villa appeared out of thin air. This is a little gadget I got when I was traveling in my previous life. There was no magic or cultivation on that planet, but the technology was quite advanced. They could turn many super large things into a small capsule for easy carrying. This one in my hand was bought casually because it looked fun, but I didn't expect to use it here.

The lion king was startled by this phenomenon. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is this?"

"Oh! This is a time capsule I developed!" I lied.

"The one we sent out in this round is Osborn, the Earth Sword Saint!" said the Lion King.

"Earth Sword Saint? Why have I never heard of the Earth Sword Saint in the Holy Light Continent?" I asked.

"You haven't heard of him because he has been in retirement for thirty years!" said my father.

"Have you heard of him?"

"Yes! He was from the same generation as your grandfather. Your grandfather gained the title of Sword God after defeating him. Since then, he retired to the mountains and no longer cared about worldly affairs!" said my father.

"Uh! How did he get out without caring about the world!" I complained.

I despise this kind of people the most. They retreat to the mountains to avoid being alone, and then come out when something happens. Do they have any blood at all?

"I owe Master Lion King a favor, and this time I'm going to repay him. Who of you will come?" Osborn said.

"Third brother, can I come?" asked the father.

"Well, are you sure? You yourself said that he is a grandfather-like figure. You were still a kid when he became a sword master!" I asked.

"I want to give it a try. It is said that the new generation pushes the old generation forward. Although I am not my father's opponent yet, I would be a failure if I cannot even defeat my father's defeated men!"

Hearing this, the Sword Saint of Earth was furious. He thought, "I lost to your father back then, and he became the Sword God. Now I am going to lose to your son again? I deserve to be the scapegoat for your Xuanyuan family!"

"What a big tone you have! Then let me see what is born out of the bloody battle of Xuanyuan!" Osborn said loudly.
