The spear shot by Hou Yi's bow pierced through the dragon's left eye and its forehead pierced, and the deadly spear arrow caused the dragon to die on the spot.

The dragon knight fell to the ground with the dragon, and although he was not in danger of his life, he was also seriously injured and passed out on the spot.

After the onlookers were shocked, they let out an earth-shattering cheer.

While everyone was cheering, in the depths of the palace, the emperor's great-great-grandfather, an old man over one hundred and seventy years old, looked up to the sky and sighed, "It was as I expected...... It's unbelievable......

After the battle of the Imperial Palace, Chennan moved the Chu State, and soon the news quickly spread all over the continent, and most cultivators knew that there was a young man in the Chu State who bent his bow and shot the Heavenly Dragon, and Chennan became famous in the first battle.

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people coming in and out of the Qishi Mansion, the military attachés in the court, and the masters in the army, all came to visit Chennan, and even many people came to propose relatives.

After Chennan's defeat of the Dragon Qishi, the status of the Qishi Mansion was improved again, and every Qishi was highly respected, which made the cultivation of the Chu State prosperous.

In the palace of Chu State, Emperor Chu Han and the eldest princess Chu Yue were discussing secretly.

Chu Han said, "Have those three dragon knights already returned to the Tianyang Kingdom?"

Chu Yue said, "Yes, on the way back. 」

Chu Han sighed: "These three people are all young and handsome, and they are all rare geniuses, but unfortunately they are not from my Chu Kingdom, so they must not be allowed to leave, otherwise in twenty years, there may be three more peerless masters in the Tianyang Kingdom." 」

Chu Yue said with a smile: "Father is very worried, I have already passed the book on the pigeon, and when they return to the border of Tianyang Country, it will be the day of their death. 」

Chu Han nodded and said, "They are all seriously injured, this matter is easy to handle, but Chennan's matter is more troublesome!"

Chu Yuexiu frowned slightly, and said, "Father, is it a bit hasty for us to marry Nalan Ruoshui to Sima Lingkong on the eve of the birthday banquet? 」

Chu Han said, "I thought he was only able to pull out the Houyi Bow, who would have thought that he was still a third-level martial artist who had reached the realm of sword qi out of the body?"

Chu Yue said, "I asked those Qishi Mansion who have cultivated to the highest level yesterday, and they said that Chen Nan has a lot of potential, and he may not be able to surpass Zhuge Chengfeng's predecessors with time. 」

Chu Han sighed: "In a few days, it will be the day of Sima Lingkong's wedding, if Chen Nan can't withstand the blow, it will really not be good! Maybe he will turn against my Great Chu and go to another country, if so, my Chu country will not only lose a genius, but also attract the ridicule of other countries." 」

Chu Yue said: "Otherwise, hurry up and take back the Houyi Bow now, if he really opposes my Chu State and is taken away by him, it will be bad." 」

Chu Han said: "No, if that's the case, it's tantamount to forcing him to turn against Chu. Let's wait for this turmoil to pass, I don't think anything will happen. 」

Chu Yue thought for a moment and said, "There is actually nothing wrong with my father making such a decision. Although he has excellent potential, he is only a cultivator after all, and he can't compare with a powerful big family. ”

Soon the emperor of Chu sent people to the Qishi Mansion to reward Chennan, gave him 50,000 gold coins, 100 silk horses, and gave him the title of Protector of the Country. This can be said to be a great honor, the Qishi is already noble, and with the title of "Protector of the Country", his status is even more honorable.

All the wizards congratulated Chennan, and the old poisonous monster joked: "Boy, you can really do it, a shot, a stick, and an arrow, in exchange for the title of 'Protector of the Country', it's really good!"

The old witch squeezed through the crowd and said to Chen Nan, "Young man, I want to remind you that if you go to the Western Continent in the future, you must be careful. The black dragon you shot in the palace martial arts arena is the mount of the old ghost Jason, the dragon knight of the West, Jason has a withdrawn personality, does not like to socialize with people, has no friends, but cherishes the black dragon as if he were killed, now you will shoot it, that old ghost will find you sooner or later. 」

Chen Nan nodded, he had already guessed that the black dragon was not the dragon knight's mount.

In the past few days, Chennan has been full of scenery, which makes the seriously injured Sima Lingkong jealous, although he has also received a heavy reward, but it is still a little worse than Chennan. In the end, in a fit of rage, he moved out of Qishi Mansion and went home to recuperate from his injuries.

On the fifth day after the Battle of the Imperial Palace, a shocking news rang in Chennan's ears.

"The emperor gave Sima Lingkong and Nalan Ruoshui a marriage, and the wedding date was set for five days later......

When Chen Nan heard this news from the mouth of the old poisonous monster, his expression changed drastically, and his heart was like numbness. He originally thought that even if the emperor did not marry Nalan Ruo to marry him underwater, he would not give her to Sima Lingkong in the short term, and he would definitely delay this family affair for a while before making a decision.

However, this is not the case.

He had done such a great job for the royal family, but the royal family had made a decision so quickly without taking into account his feelings, and he never expected such a result.

Chen Nan's eyes flickered, and a violent aura faintly appeared on his face.

The old poisonous monster was startled and said, "Boy, what's wrong with you......

"Ah......h

Chen Nan's furious hair rushed to the crown, his face was hideous, his body was full of golden light, and the golden mangs surging outside his body were burning like raging flames.

The old poisonous monster was so frightened that he ran from Chennan's house to the courtyard.

"Whew"

A golden sword aura pierced the roof.

"Whew"

"Whew"

......

Countless sword qi came out of the wall of the house, and the sword qi light was dazzling, vertical and horizontal, flashing in the air like lightning, and in the rumbling sound, the entire house collapsed.

Chen Nan stood on the rubble and was silent for a long time.

The old poisonous monster walked over cautiously and said, "Chennan...... Are you alright?"

Chen Nan calmed the anger in his heart, and his face gradually recovered.

"Alas, it would be a lie to say that it was okay, but I didn't expect the emperor to treat me like this. 」

The old poisonous monster said: "Five days ago, the emperor gave you the title of Protector of the Country, but he didn't mention anything about Nalan Ruoshui, and the intention is already obvious......

At this moment, those Qishi people in the Qishi Mansion came to Chennan's courtyard one after another, and when they saw the rubble in front of them, they were not surprised, and they knew why Chennan was angry. They had already learned about the affairs between Chennan, Nalan Ruoshui, and Sima Lingkong, and now they heard that the emperor had married Sima Lingkong and Nalan Ruoshui, and they all felt injustice for Chennan.

"Alas, Chen Nan has just made a great contribution to the Chu State, but he didn't expect it to ......."

"Life is unsatisfactory in ten ** ......"

"Boy, let's drive some. 」

......

Everyone spoke out to comfort Chennan.

Chu Yue had also received the report, frowned, and said, "I hope he doesn't make any trouble. 」

In the blink of an eye, another three days have passed, and two more days will be the wedding day of Sima Lingkong and Nalan Ruoshui. Now that Sima Lingkong's injuries have healed, although he has not had the scenery of Chennan in recent days, but in the end he has returned with a beauty, he can imagine the sad and angry appearance of Chennan at this time, thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he decided to go to Qishi Mansion to have a look.

Sima Lingkong was proud, and when he saw that everyone was greeting, he turned left and right and came to the outside of Chennan's courtyard, and it happened that Chennan went out at this time and slapped him in the face.

"Isn't this the Protector of the Nation, where are you going? The younger brother is about to visit the Protector of the Nation. Sima Lingkong bit the word "protect the country" heavily every time, and his face was full of ridicule.

Chennan's anger was surging, and the cold light in his eyes flickered, but it slowly subsided.

"Sima Lingkong, you should be less proud, although the emperor gave you a marriage, it is not you who values it, but your father, your family, you are just a second ancestor!"

Sima Lingkong sneered: "No matter what you say, there is one thing that can't be changed, Ruoshui will marry me in two days, and the groom is not you, hehe." 」

"Sima Volley, you get out of here, I don't want to see you. 」

"Okay, since Lord Protector has already spoken, then I'll take my leave, but you must come to my wedding in two days, well, you can come to the cave room then, hehe. 」

Chen Nan's face was pale, and he watched Sima Volley gradually walk away, and he smashed the door behind him with one palm.

When Chen Nan appeared in front of the old poisonous monster, he startled the old man.

"Hey, boy, why are you so ugly, are you sick?"

"Perverted old man, let me ask you, where does the Ruoshui family live?"

"You...... What are you going to do? Boy, don't come nonsense, if you want to rob your relatives, I advise you to avoid it. In the past two days, the eldest princess has sent a large number of advanced warriors to the Zuo Xiang Mansion to protect Nalan Ruoshui, and you don't have a chance. 」

Chen Nan's face changed, and he secretly sighed that the eldest princess was really good, and she actually calculated the actions he might want to implement.

The night is like water, and it is destined to be a sleepless night.

Chennan tossed and turned, thinking repeatedly, "What should I do? Maybe Ruoshui and I don't have any feelings for each other, but we still have a good impression of each other. Are you watching her marry that bastard and fall into the fire pit?" Finally, his eyes shot two divine lights, and he said to himself, "Just let me go crazy, I don't want to leave any regrets!"

Although he made a decision, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"In less than three months, so many unexpected things have happened, and I must get out of here as soon as possible after solving this matter......

Eventually, he fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Chen Nan ran to the courtyard of the old poisonous monster.

Looking at the smile on his face, the old poisonous monster was suspicious for a while, and said, "Boy, your face has been ugly for several days, why did it suddenly turn cloudy and sunny?"

Chen Nan said, "Let's talk in the house. 」

After entering the house, he quickly clicked on more than a dozen big holes on the old poisonous monster's body, although the old poisonous monster's kung fu was also good, but it was only barely good, and it couldn't be compared with the rank master at all.

"Boy, what are you doing here? ...... you?"

"Shhhhh 」

"If you want to talk to me, you don't need to click on my acupoint, right?"

"Because what I want to talk to you about is so amazing, I'm afraid you won't want to talk to me, that's why I made this decision. 」

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?"

"I know that your poison art is the best in the Chu Kingdom, and I want to ask you for a potion?"

"What medicine?"

"It won't harm people's lives, and after taking it, it will only temporarily make one's cultivation come to naught. 」

When the old poisonous monster heard this, he immediately exclaimed, "What the hell are you going to do, boy, are you really going to make a big fuss?"

"Yes, do you have that medicine?"

The old poisonous monster broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and said, "Chennan, don't mess around, there are so many masters in the imperial capital, you can't succeed. 」

Chen Nan looked into the eyes of the old poisonous monster and said, "Although there are many masters, I have a Houyi bow, and no one can stop me. 」

The old poisonous monster said in a trembling voice, "If you make a big fuss in the imperial capital, even if you can escape, you will provoke the Chu State to chase and kill you endlessly. 」

"Don't worry about it, perverted old man, do you have that kind of medicine?"

"No...... No. 」

"Lie, I know you're not telling the truth when I look at your expression, I think with the friendship between the two of us, you won't be reluctant, right?"

"It's not that I'm reluctant, I can't bear to see you jump into the fire pit. 」

"I said you don't care, I'm definitely not in danger, you just need to give me that medicine. 」

The old poisonous monster said with a bitter face: "You are not in danger, I must be in danger, when something happens, as soon as you leave, what should I do, I will definitely be found on my head?"

Chen Nan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, after you administered the medicine, I knocked you unconscious, and then you said that I forcibly took it." 」

"No. The old poisonous monster glared again and again, and said, "This method is too clumsy, if this is the case, after being found out, I can't even run." 」

Chen Nan said: "What should I do then? Tomorrow is Ruoshui's wedding date, if I can't save her at the wedding, her life will be ruined." 」

"Do you have to take the risk? you can't ......," he tried to say "give up," but couldn't say it anyway. He looked at Chen Nan's resolute expression, and finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'm out of the way. You once gave me a book of poison scriptures, for me, it is a great favor, you want my life, I will also give it to you, today I will repay it with my life. 」

Chen Nan looked at the old poisonous monster with a smile and said, "Do you really want to repay with your life?" Okay, after you give me the medicine later, I will kill you, so that you will not suffer when you are tortured and interrogated. 」

The old poisonous monster shouted, "Stinky boy, you are so vicious, you have no sympathy at all. Alas, it seems that the imperial capital can't stay any longer, and after I give you the medicine, I will immediately leave the imperial capital and go to another country. 」

After the old poisonous monster's acupuncture was unlocked, he asked, "What exactly are you going to do?"

Chen Nan said, "I'm going to do it at tomorrow's wedding. 」

"You...... You are crazy, the general Sima Changfeng and the left minister Nalan Wencheng are both important ministers of the Chu State, and the two are married to the family of children and daughters, and they will definitely invite the emperor to attend the wedding, and the Sima Mansion will be as solid as a copper wall. You chose to do it at that time, it's ...... It's just asking for his own death, it's better to go directly to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to rob people now. 」

"Hehe...... Chen Nan sneered: "Since you want to make trouble, you have to make a big fuss, I just want to save Nalan Ruoshui in front of the emperor and in front of hundreds of civil and military officials." I want to make the Chu State lose face, what the three dragon knights of the Tianyang Kingdom did not do, I will complete it for them, I will slap the Chu State hard!"

The old poisonous monster was dumbfounded and muttered, "Madman...... Madman, if this matter spreads to other countries, it will definitely make the Chu State lose face, and then you will be retaliated by madness, you are simply a madman!"

Chen Nan sneered: "On that day, I fought two dragon wizards in the palace in a row, it seemed easy, but in fact, it was extremely dangerous, I fought with my life to keep the dignity of the Chu State, but what was the result?"

The old poisonous monster said: "The emperor really mishandled this matter, and it is indeed chilling to give Nalan Ruoshui to others when you have made great achievements. 」

Chen Nan said, "You feel cold, do you think I can swallow this breath? The masters in the imperial capital, what makes me scruple the most are those cultivators who have reached the rank realm in the Qishi Mansion, if I can make these people unable to do it for the time being, my pressure will be much less. 」

The old poisonous monster said: "When I first entered the Qishi Mansion, I saw that you were honest, but I didn't expect that after only a few days, you were like a different person, not only did you suddenly have a terrifying cultivation, but also became so crazy. How unfortunate did I meet you?" he sighed, and continued, "In order to repay your favor, I will add some 'spices' to the kitchen today so that they will have a seizure tomorrow afternoon. 」

"Thank you so much, perverted old man. 」

"Alas, I have lived in the imperial capital for several years, and I am really reluctant to leave. Boy, what are your plans, where do you plan to escape with Nalan Ruoshui after the Sima Mansion makes a big fuss?"

"I don't know, as long as I escape from the Chu State. 」

"You kid is really confused, if you flee to the vassal state of Chu, you will not be able to escape the disaster of death. I'll show you a way to go, have you ever heard of Liberty City?"

Chen Nan felt very familiar, thought about it carefully, he remembered, in the past month, he had read countless books in the royal book room, and although his understanding of the landform of the continent was not very accurate, he also knew a rough idea.

When the Immortal Continent and the Magic Continent were connected together, a continuous stream of tall mountains rose at their junctions, leaving a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles uninhabited. In this vast mountain, although the human tracks are rare, fierce birds and beasts can be found everywhere, not only the dragons of the West, the giants left over from ancient times, but also many unheard of powerful monsters, and even legendary spirits.

Later, the connection between the East and the West became closer and closer, and people finally carved out a road connecting the East and the West in the mountains through many obstacles. Unfortunately, shortly thereafter, a large-scale war broke out in the East, and this road became a road of war, where rivers of blood flowed, thousands of dry bones, and countless heroic souls were buried here.

After the war between East and West ended, the road was abandoned for a long time before it was slowly restored to traffic. Due to the long and difficult journey, some inns gradually appeared along the way for people to stay and replenish their provisions. Later, with the frequent travel between the East and the West, villages gradually formed in some places, and after thousands of years of development, a bustling big city appeared on this road, which is the city of freedom.

The City of Freedom does not belong to any country, it is an independent city, because of its special geographical location, it is the most important hub city connecting the east and west, so its prosperity is no less than Pingyang City, the imperial capital of Chu State.

The City of Freedom, also known as the City of Sin, is an independent city that is not controlled by any one country, so many wanted criminals on the mainland have fled here, making it a mixed bag. However, those who fled here did not dare to do anything wrong, because there were many strong people here, and they deterred those who were restless and guarded to themselves. Therefore, although the city of freedom is also known as the city of sin, there is very little sin, and the people who live here have to abide by the rules of the city.

Although the Sin City is only a city, there are many powerful cultivators living in seclusion here, which makes the cultivation of the Free City very strong. In addition, there is a famous kamikaze academy in the continent, it has the same history as the city of freedom, dating back to a thousand years ago, and there are only a few academies on the continent that can compete with it, and there are peerless masters of the kamikaze academy from generation to generation.

Because of the above reasons, the city of freedom is famous in the mainland and has become a dazzling pearl among the famous cities in the mainland.

Thinking back in an instant, Chen Nan already understood what the City of Freedom was like.

"I know this place, it's a good place. 」

The old poisonous monster said, "What's more, it's just heaven, you don't know how prosperous it is, casinos, Fengyue places...... It's so nostalgic, I haven't set foot there in 10 years. 」

Chen Nan said: "You are not serious, your beard is white, and you still have those thoughts in your head. 」

"Because I have a young heart, hehe......" The old poisonous monster smirked and said, "You know? Freedom is full of gold, as long as you have high skills and come very quickly, you can go to the nearby mountains to hunt those powerful demonic beasts, and exchange the precious demonic crystal nuclei in the demonic beasts for huge wealth, or you can be a free hunter to capture key criminals in exchange for high rewards...... But if you run there, it's better to keep a low profile, because you're a fugitive yourself. 」

Chen Nan knew that the Warcraft was a creature of the original Magic Continent, and he had the ability to cast magic, and the low-level Warcraft could only cast some simple magic, such as the Snow Rabbit could only spit ice arrows, and the Fire Fox could only spit flames. Only high-level magical beasts can cast some powerful magic, such as the thunder and lightning released by thunder beasts. There is a magic crystal nucleus in the body of the demonic beast, the higher the level of the demonic beast, the more precious the magic crystal nucleus in its body, the magic crystal nucleus is a precious material that magicians cannot do without when studying magic, so the price is very expensive.

The old poisonous monster looked like a pig brother and said, "The beauties of the Free City are like clouds, especially the girls of the Kamikaze Academy, they are simply the best of the best. 」

Chen Nan scolded in a low voice, "You perverted old man is really old and improper. 」

The old poisonous monster gushed endlessly, and said, "There are very few regular students who can enter the Divine Wind Academy, because it is very demanding, and only young powerhouses who have reached the rank realm can enter. However, there are many irregular students, because the kamikaze academy is famous in the mainland, and the princes and nobles of many countries rely on their connections to send their children to the kamikaze academy. If it is normal to meet a prince or a princess there, think about it, how exciting it is, so many princesses, county lords, and noble daughters of the Houmen, if they can go in, they will die happily. 」

Chen Nan smacked the old poisonous monster on the head fiercely, and said, "You old nymphomaniac, hurry up and think about what is happening in front of you. 」

The old poisonous monster was like a deflated ball, and immediately wilted, and said with a sad face: "Okay, I'll add 'ingredients' to the kitchen for a while, and then I will escape from the imperial capital overnight, and I won't greet you when I leave, I hope to see you in the Free City." 」

"Perverted old man, thank you!" Chen Nan turned and walked out.

As night fell, the old monster fled the imperial capital.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, and under the moonlight like water, Chen Nan felt that his heart was at peace, and he was ready for a big battle.
