Chapter 19: Challenges (Ask for Collection Recommendations)
"Huh?" Hearing Xia Jiang answer like this, the fifteenth princess suddenly widened her eyes in surprise, and said timidly: "The ninth brother...... What are you going to do here?"
Listening to the little princess's somewhat timid voice beside him, Xia Jiang couldn't help but smile, turned his head and said, "Just take a look." ”
I don't know what's going on, the fifteenth princess looked at Xia Jiang's smile at her, and she was stunned, and she didn't ask any more questions, just silently followed.
In silence, the two soon came to the Dragon and Phoenix Palace.
Dozens of people had already arrived inside and outside the Dragon and Phoenix Palace, all of whom were prominent in status, either those ministers who were enough to influence the rise and fall of the country, or powerful nobles who could worry the king with a casual word, and then princes, princesses and princesses.
However, although these people are high and powerful, and their contributions are huge, they still have to salute when they see them, the lord is always the lord, the minister is always the minister, and the prince and princess are also considered to be the young masters, but when Xia Jiang and the two arrived, they were ignored as if they were ignored, and no one paid attention to them at all.
However, Xia Jiang is used to it, and he doesn't care about this, and this fifteen princess has always been dissatisfied with being ignored, but now with the arrival of Xia Jiang, she seems to have forgotten about this stubble for a while.
The two entered and sat down with the princes and princesses to a designated area.
The Dragon and Phoenix Hall is not only a wide area outside, but also a huge space in the hall, so large that it is indescribable, these Xia Jiang have become commonplace.
After a while, I didn't see the arrival of the third prince Xia Huo, but Xia Yun'er finally came to the palace with the figure of King Xia Xiong and the queen.
Everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't have to be polite, today is the wedding celebration of the prince and princess, everyone just have fun!" Xia Xiong's always majestic voice was also slightly soft at this moment.
Originally, everyone was still a little nervous, but with the king's words, countless things about eating, drinking, and having fun began to shine and enter everyone's field of vision. Among them, it is said that food, in Xia Jiang's view, almost covers the delicacies of the mountains and seas all over the country, everything, it is simply dazzling, in the face of these foods, I believe that if you are not a foodie, you can't help but taste it at this moment.
But even so, his brothers and sisters, especially the younger brothers and sisters who are young and weak, are just secretly swallowing saliva, taking care of face, and they don't dare to move without the big brothers and sisters taking the lead.
Xia Jiang can naturally understand them, his mother was present at the scene, and he didn't want to embarrass his mother.
He didn't have so many worries, he saw some nutritious and nourishing delicacies, and immediately walked up and began to eat a lot.
The fifteenth princess who followed behind Xia Jiang saw this, and almost pounced, she was a big foodie herself, and now that someone was taking the lead, how could she calm down?
"Delicious, delicious, um......"
Let's chirp, chirp......
As far as King Xia Xiong's words are concerned, everyone eats, drinks and has fun, of course, those high-ranking officials and nobles use this as a platform to pave the way for their own private affairs or the next generation, in short, they all speak freely and enjoy themselves.
It wasn't until the arrival of the third prince Xia Huo that the king spoke again and began the highlight of the day, inviting various programs to perform.
As a royal palace, it is naturally different from the folk, and most of the folk programs can be realized by relying on various magical magic weapons, but here, what is required is teamwork, beautiful, in Xia Jiang's view, it is a real artistic performance, which can be summed up in one word - beauty.
Regarding the performance of the word "beauty", the performers are all beautiful and stunning women, but they are pleasing to the eye and can't help but be fascinated.
Immediately afterwards, it was the man's performance, which began to highlight the word "force", and the performers undoubtedly did not use magic weapons, but purely used their bodies to show their strength, all kinds of powerful powers, almost earth-shattering momentum, and extraordinary.
Xia Jiang watched silently, and there seemed to be no change, but the blood in his body was already boiling.
Feeling the activity of the blood in his body, Xia Jiang couldn't help but look at his father Wang, he faintly felt that this kind of arrangement of the order of the program seemed to be specially prepared for them next!
As the show ended, everyone drank with the king, and when they were about to announce everyone's next casualness, Xia Jiang suddenly walked out.
Although he was not the only one who did not bow his head in the face of the arrogance of the third prince at that time, in the face of the huge formation of important ministers of the country, no one really dared to challenge the third prince Xia Huo at the moment, and Xia Jiang did not have to drag his feet.
"Father, that's the end of today's show, everyone hasn't had fun yet, it just so happens that the child admires the third brother's cultivation, and missed the consultation last month, can you give the child a chance this time?" Xia Jiang said loudly.
As soon as the voice came out, the people who were about to fall into chaos couldn't help but silence, looked at him, and then turned to the direction of the most honorable seat in the hall.
King Xia Xiong has always been calm and unfazed, but at this moment, he was stunned, looking at the lonely figure in the huge open space in the center of the stage of the show. The reason why he was stunned was not that someone challenged the third prince today, but that he didn't expect it to be Xia Jiang. In his opinion, even if there was the limelight before, no matter how hard Xia Jiang worked, it would be impossible to catch up with Xia Huo within a year.
Obviously, it was not only Xia Xiong at this moment, but secretly many people also knew that today's wedding banquet would not be so simple, but they didn't expect the most wasted ninth prince to take the lead.
However, in contrast, it was Xia Yun'er who reacted the most at the scene, originally she had been paying attention to Xia Jiang, and faintly she also hoped that what she said a few days ago would provoke several princes to stir up the situation, and it was best to have Xia Jiang among them. However, now that she really saw Xia Jiang stand up all of a sudden, she was stunned, and couldn't help but look deeply at the center - the man who suddenly made her a little unable to see through.
But in the eyes of outsiders, Xia Yun'er at this moment is still as plain as water, and she can't see the slightest change.
As for today's actor Xia Huo, he has changed greatly, and after hearing this, he sneered, and without waiting for King Xia Xiong to reply, he immediately shouted: "Not bad, ninth brother, I didn't expect your cultivation to progress so quickly, do you already dare to challenge your third brother?"
"Yes! And as a younger brother, if you want to say something unreasonable, as we all know, the ninth sister is gentle, beautiful, and wise, like a heavenly maiden, and now she is about to be a wife, I am a dignified man in the Great Xia Kingdom, I can blame fate for a while, but if I am indifferent, how can I be worthy of this body of flame-like boiling blood?"
Xia Jiang changed his cowardly posture in the past, and his momentum was like a rainbow in an instant, and he continued: "Cultivation is related to the destiny of heaven, and there is a struggle when there is practice, and there is a way that 'the capable live in it, which is the way of heaven!'"
No one expected that Xia Jiang, a well-known waste material, suddenly seemed to have changed as a person, making the entire hall silent for a while.
But obviously, the most shocking thing about Xia Jiang's change was the summer fire, he couldn't help it almost instantly, and jumped out with a swish.
"That's very good! Then the third brother, I'll accompany you today!" Xia Huo almost gritted his teeth, he didn't expect this Xia Jiang to be menacing, and he was unstoppable, and he thought that the marriage contract was faintly subject to his father, and he was unhappy for a long time, and now that someone has sent it to the door, can he still bear it?
"Since you are looking for death, my brother will fulfill you!" Xia Huo didn't wait for Xia Jiang to make another big statement, grandstanding, roared in his heart, and after landing on the ground, the figure immediately flew out.
said that Xia Huo's reaction made Xia Jiang a little surprised, he didn't expect the other party to be provoked by him so easily, like a manic lion pounced on.
Prepared, Xia Jiang retreated, waved his sword and pointed, and put on a formal battle posture.
However, Xia Huo almost didn't look at it, and also pulled out the magic weapon from his body, it was also a sword, but he saw that its silver light was shining, and the light was circulating, but it was a sword that was super first-class to the extreme.
In contrast, the sword in Xia Jiang's hand did not show obvious brilliance, but it was somewhat similar to the red wooden stick he used to fight the two princes that day, and it seemed to be just a magic weapon that did not enter the stream.
Xia Huo is extremely fast, and it seems that he wants to solve his opponent with one sword.
Between the swings of the silver light sword, not only a dazzling pure silver light shot out, but also a sword qi comparable to the monk's level roared, which was unstoppable.
Seeing this, Xia Jiang suddenly knew that it was not that this Xia Huo was easily provoked, but in the eyes of the other party, he was simply an ant, just ask an ant who dared to jump in front of people, how could he not immediately step on it?
Xia Huo, who has a blood line of seven, has the power of a sword with all his strength in almost one move, which is much more powerful than Xia Jiang's cultivation of the Demon Devouring Sword, and it is conceivable that the potential of that silver light sword even exceeds that of the ordinary second-grade magic weapon, and it is close to the super second-grade, worthy of being a huge rich prince with several mansions.
The other party was so fierce with one move, Xia Jiang didn't have a chance to maneuver at all, so he immediately turned his heart sideways and fought with the Demon Devouring Sword that he hadn't adapted to.
One swept, the other slashed, and the two swords were staggered, and a gust of wind rippled out.
The two collided with each other with all their might, and they were divided into high and low in an instant, Xia Huo still maintained the momentum of attack steadily, but Xia Jiang was obviously inferior, his body staggered, and he retreated backwards, almost falling.
One has a bloodline fit of seven, and the other barely reaches three, which is not a level at all.
Those in the know knew the ending as soon as they saw the situation, but they still admired Xia Jiang's courage.
But what they didn't expect was that Xia Jiang didn't look wolf after retreating, but suddenly made a front conflict stab and played an extremely familiar move.
The whole person rotated slowly in the air, and the sword in his hand seemed to be like a ghost and a god, and the human sword was united and stabbed towards the target.
Originally, this move was magical, although Xia Jiang's level was low, he would be scared as an opponent, but Xia Huo didn't, he had already studied this move, and when he saw a sword stabbing at him, the whole person jumped high, and he wanted to trample Xia Jiang's body under his feet.
It's just that he guessed this move, but he couldn't guess that Xia Jiang's move was ineffective, his body maintained absolute balance, slapped a little with one foot and one hand, and actually bounced up with the help of the power of the ground, and spun again, and the whole person stabbed a sword into the air.
The two sword moves before and after were coherent, and they were like flowing water, not at all like the combat experience possessed by a cultivator with only three bloodline compatibility.
Xia Huo obviously didn't expect this move, the whole person was not flexible enough in mid-air, so he could only forcibly change his body to avoid this sword, but his body lost his balance, and he was slapped in the chest by Xia Jiang in mid-air, and flew out upside down.
slapped the other party away with one palm, and Xia Jiang did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and landed firmly on the ground.
And the latter, trying his best to stabilize his body, but after all, he was still unstable and fell to the ground.
