Chapter 1149: Chapter 29: Rising Sun, Raising the Banner for You (Extended Chapter)

The scorching sun rose in the east, and golden sunlight poured down.

Outside the Tai Xuan Sect, all eyes were on the scene.

When Li Fei declared he would fight against seven, the place first fell silent and then erupted!

The onlooking citizens, mostly ignorant of what the Dukes of the Western Continent represented, only knew that their own Marquis was facing seven opponents single-handedly. This was encouraging enough for them to clap and cheer loudly.

As for the civil and military officials on the viewing platform, most were surprised, while some advocating for peace instantly realized—

This was Li Fei intentionally creating momentum for the northern expedition!

Actually, within the peace-advocating faction, not all were cowards fearing death.

Beyond the influence of Ye Ze’an, there were some officials who lacked confidence, concerned that the Da Lan Dynasty might not win this battle, worried that the country’s excessive aggression might lead to its downfall, hence their advocacy for peace.

And now Li Fei was giving these people confidence!

“You want to fight us seven all by yourself?”

On the viewing platform, Zeke could no longer maintain a graceful demeanor, looking at Li Fei in anger, feeling greatly insulted!

Behind him, the other six Dukes were equally enraged.

However, none of the six were impulsive, rushing forward to start the fight in response to Li Fei’s provocation.

Seven against one, winning would still tarnish their reputation!

Whoosh—

The air was torn apart, leaving a white streak of turbulent airflow.

Zeke’s figure flickered, disappearing from the viewing platform, appearing above the square.

He stood in the air, and behind him, the void seemed to conceal a colossal creature, looming indistinctly, emitting a fierce aura, as bright as the sun!

At this moment, this Duke of Deni Country was more dazzling than the sun in the sky dome!

He looked down at Li Fei on the reviewing platform:

“Li Fei! Right now, you and I, one-on-one!”

Today, he dared to stand out and challenge those three thousand Imperial Camp Army troops, not on a whim; he was well-prepared to face Li Fei.

As the strongest Duke in Deni Country, even facing a Prince, he could hold his own and make it difficult for the opponent to win quickly.

So he was ready early on, even if he couldn’t defeat Li Fei today, he would deliberately stall to prevent Li Fei from winning easily.

As long as the opponent, a Commander, couldn’t achieve a clean victory, it would affect the morale of the northern expedition army.

Zeke’s purpose would thus be fulfilled.

But he never expected Li Fei to be so arrogant!

On the reviewing platform, Li Fei did not respond to Zeke but rather made a gesture toward the three thousand Imperial Camp Army ahead.

“Disperse—”

With a command from the leading Forbidden Army General, the three thousand Profound Armor troops scattered around like mercury.

In the blink of an eye, the three thousand Imperial Camp Army spread around the square, forming a circle.

Their battle armor lit up in succession with silver-white light, like a silver dragon coiling around, encircling the square.

A silver curtain divided the viewing platform, completely separating the internal space from the outside.

The dragon carriage outside the Tai Xuan Sect was just outside the curtain.

Feng Cheng and Xuan Chen stepped down from the reviewing platform as soon as the curtain rose, retreating to the sides of the dragon carriage.

Zeke trembled with fear.

He realized there was an array on the square, and the speed of these three thousand Imperial Camp Army in dispersing and their precise positioning was unreasonably fast.

Once the military formation unfolded, it perfectly activated the array on the square, with the two forces seamlessly complementing each other.

This was clearly prepared in advance!

Zeke met Li Fei’s calm eyes.

“Could it be that his proposal to fight against seven wasn’t due to my provocation, but premeditated?”

“Even if I hadn’t stepped forward to provoke, would Li Fei have proactively issued a challenge?”

“Does he truly believe he can fight seven alone?!”

On the viewing platform, Grand Secretary Ye Ze’an had been calm from the start.

Before today’s swearing-in ceremony began, upon learning that the Emperor specifically invited the Western Continent Delegation to observe, he had a premonition that something would happen.

When the Emperor entered, he found it unusual for Wenren Zheng not to accompany him, and immediately concluded—

Li Fei would have a confrontation with the people from the Western Continent Delegation!

Because if Wenren Zheng, a Martial Saint, were present, no matter what kind of battle occurred, the Da Lan Dynasty would inevitably have the suspicion of using force to suppress.

Now seeing Li Fei planning to fight seven alone, Ye Ze’an understood even more why Wenren Zheng did not come.

If Wenren Zheng were present as a spectator and then Li Fei won, such a sensational victory would inevitably lead others to wonder if the Martial Saint had intervened secretly?

Li Fei not only had to win this fight but win it in a way that left no room for doubt!

Ye Ze’an suddenly smiled and took his seat first.

“Ladies and gentlemen.”

The surrounding officials looked around.

Ye Ze’an smiled and said: “Let’s sit and watch how Marquis Jing’an exhibits our national prestige.”

On the reviewing platform, Li Fei saw this scene and a smile appeared on his face as well.

Today’s battle wasn’t just for the Seven Western Countries to see.

It was also for the soldiers of the northern expedition, for the citizens of Lanling City, for the ministers advocating for peace, for Ye Ze’an.

For the world to see!

He looked up, finally directing his gaze at Zeke in the air.

The golden battle armor appeared, dragon head helmet, mountains and rivers on his body, bearing ‘Jing’an.’

Next moment, he appeared above Zeke’s head and stepped down!

Zeke’s heart and spirit were violently shaken, as if seeing a blood-colored giant sword cleaving through the heavens and earth, carrying endless murderous intent and evil qi, slashing down at him!

Corpses piled like mountains, a sea of blood, broken mountains and rivers, everything withered…. Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill—

Sword State·Blood Wei Seven Kills!

Boom—

A thunderous explosion echoed through the clear skies.

Zeke was sent tumbling down from the air by Li Fei’s stomp, like a giant mountain falling from the high sky, crashing heavily onto the ground.
