Chapter 459 The Sage Points the Way!
The moment the two touched, the burst of energy released caused all the civil and military officials to stagger back dozens of steps, staring at Ye Ru in shock.
They never expected Ye Ru to possess such remarkable talent.
"How can this envoy from the Yanhuang Kingdom be so powerful, actually being on par with Kong Ling?"
"Yes, if this continues, things could get a little bad."
The civil and military officials looked at the cracks on the ground and began to whisper among themselves again. Even the King of Jin frowned slightly. Ye Ru was now able to gain the upper hand. If Kong Ling could not defeat Ye Ru now, she would probably become Ye Ru's defeated opponent later.
Only now did they realize that Ye Ru's choice to fight the Jin state scholar was not just empty talk, but that he truly possessed his own talent and learning.
The smile that had initially appeared on the face of the King of Jin was now slowly frozen in shock by the attack. In the end, it was the border city that turned gloomy. Although he was an emperor, he was also a scholar. He could sense that Ye Ru's talent had not been depleted much. On the contrary, Kong Ling's talent was disappearing little by little.
To be defeated by an envoy from the Yanhuang Kingdom on Jin territory would be incredibly ironic if this were to spread to the other ten kingdoms.
At that time, their Jin Kingdom, including its ruler, will become a laughing stock among the ten kingdoms. When they meet the ruler of Yanhuang Kingdom in the future, they will definitely be inferior to him.
A look of surprise appeared on Zhang Dong and Zhang Zhi's faces. Ye Ru's talent was truly such that he became stronger when facing strong opponents and weaker when facing weak opponents, just like Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching: "The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without striving."
"Kong Ling, if you win this battle, I will reward you with a promotion of three ranks."
After a moment of contemplation, the King of Jin said in a cold voice.
Upon hearing this, the coldness on Kong Ling's face gradually turned fierce. His family had not thought highly of him when he came out to become an official, and he wanted to prove to those stubborn people in the family that one could become a half-saint by becoming an official!
It can even be traced back to the generation of ancestors who became saints!
"How can the Golden Serpent Sword compare to my Emperor's Sword? Brother Kong, you'd better unleash your true skills, or you'll surely lose!"
After a brief contact, the Golden Serpent Sword and the Emperor's Sword separated again. Ye Ru took a few steps back while holding the Emperor's Sword, and Kong Ling also took a few steps back.
"Hmph, I'll show you the true power of the Golden Serpent Sword in a moment. Prepare to die!"
With a chilling tone, Kong Ling stomped her foot again, clashing with Ye Ru once more with her Golden Serpent Sword.
Kong Ling arrived at Ye Ru's side with lightning speed. The next moment, the Golden Snake Sword in her hand slashed down angrily. A golden snake, with its scarlet tongue flicking out, coiled around Ye Ru like a soft rope.
The golden snake made Ye Ru's gaze sharpen, and then he laughed loudly:
"Just as Liu Bang started his rebellion by slaying a white snake, today I, Ye Ru, will slay a golden snake in the State of Jin!"
"Disappear!"
A loud shout resounded throughout the land. Immediately afterward, Ye Ru's Emperor Sword slashed down in an unremarkable manner. In an instant, a golden dragon flew out of the sword, opened its mouth, and swallowed the golden snake whole.
As the Emperor's Sword devoured the golden snake, its light surged once more, emitting a dazzling brilliance that instantly blinded Kong Ling.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Ru slashed directly at Kong Ling with his sword.
This scene shocked Kong Ling, who hurriedly tried to stop him. However, this time, Ye Ru's power was infused with the brute force of the bear from the Five Animal Frolics. With a single sword strike, he sent Kong Ling flying backward under the horrified gazes of many, finally crashing to the ground.
This scene silenced everyone present. Even the King of Jin opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.
"Is this person really an envoy from the Yanhuang Kingdom?"
The King of Jin's face was grim. Among the younger generation of scholars and literati, very few could rival Kong Ling. But now, he had truly misjudged him and had been completely fooled by this envoy. It turned out that he had fallen into Ye Ru's trap from the very beginning.
Not only the ruler of Jin, but also some Jin literati were once again taken aback.
"I really misjudged him."
"Yes, this person will surely achieve great things in the future, which is a blessing for the human race, but it will be a disaster for our Jin state."
A scholar sighed. Their Jin Kingdom and the Yanhuang Kingdom were enemies. If the other side were allowed to grow stronger, it would surely be more powerful than a million-strong army in the fight against demons. But now, the other side had become a thorn in the side of their Jin Kingdom.
"How could someone possess such brute force... Moreover, my Golden Serpent Sword was bestowed upon me by the Emperor; ordinary swords simply cannot withstand it. The Emperor's Sword? How could he possess the Emperor's Sword? That is something that can only be obtained by those who have achieved the highest merit!"
At this moment, Kong Ling also got up from the ground. The injuries to his body made him gasp in shock. At the same time, a strong sense of danger spread from the bottom of his heart to his mind.
The injuries Ye Ru inflicted on him were real and did not mitigate the damage in any way.
I'm afraid if a few more blows come, I'll be completely unable to move.
"Damn it, it seems this is the only way."
Taking a deep breath, Kong Ling's inner energy surged once more, transforming into countless streams of energy that then enveloped him tightly.
Seeing this, Ye Ru frowned. The opponent's defense was also amazing, actually able to withstand his bear's brute force.
This is a technique created by a demigod.
Suddenly, Ye Ru sensed a sudden upheaval in the energy of the sky, and the source of this upheaval made Ye Ru abruptly turn his head, fixing his gaze on Kong Ling!
"What's going on? How can the other side mobilize the power of heaven and earth's talent?"
Seeing that the talent contained within Kong Ling's body was growing stronger and stronger, Ye Ru couldn't help but become extremely cautious.
In battles against the various holy families, a moment's carelessness could lead to utter defeat.
"Next, I'll show you this move."
"A sage has shown the way!"
A roar suddenly erupted from Kong Ling's throat, and in that instant, Kong Ling's aura swept outwards. His eyes were bloodshot, as if he were about to burn his bridges. Behind him, a phantom of a saint holding a book slowly appeared in everyone's sight.
This scene caused many people to gasp in astonishment, because they could sense just how powerful the saintly phantom was!
