How should I do this?

At this moment, Jin Qiang was in a dilemma.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart.

When Lin Chen killed Huo Zhijin, using his own strength to change the entire Zhenhai Province situation, even overturning the Zhenhai Province pattern, Jin Qiang, who was sent to Zhenhai Province by the King with high hopes, had already failed.

This was a political failure.

Jin Qiang understood.

After today, he, the provincial governor of Zhenhai Province, probably wouldn't be able to keep his position.

He had thought about many things before.

For example, if the council made things difficult, he would lead the Jin Family Army, relying on the King's support, and refuse to hand over power.

Even... establish a separate regime!

But now, Jin Qiang knew very well.

Even the King would not stand by him.

Who would side with a loser?

After pondering for a moment, Jin Qiang could only descend from the airship.

"Lin Chen."

Jin Qiang said loudly, "Today's matter, the matter of Tianyue City, the matter of the Huo family, and even the things that happened in the entire Zhenhai Province, are actually impossible to be unrelated to me, the provincial governor! Some things, I admit, perhaps shouldn't have happened... but in any case, they did happen. Moreover, your strength has also impressed me. Today, this provincial governor only seeks a fair fight with you. I won't use the Potian Spear, and you won't use Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin. How about a great battle between us? Afterward, all the things that happened between you and the De, Wu, and Huo families will be truthfully reported to His Majesty and the council. At that time, how to deal with this matter... will be left to fate!"

Jin Qiang's words surprised many people.

First of all, the remaining five marquises were completely unprepared...

They didn't expect that Jin Qiang would actually... back down.

Perhaps it couldn't be said to be backing down.

After all, Jin Qiang had said that he wanted to have a fair fight with Lin Chen.

But Jin Qiang also said not to let Lin Chen use Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.

And he himself wouldn't use the Potian Spear...

Without a doubt, the Potian Spear was Jin Qiang's greatest killing move.

Neither of them would use their strongest moves, which meant... the battle would be a test of skill, stopping short of serious injury.

So why fight?

This was where Jin Qiang, as a politician, was clever.

This battle had to be fought!

Win or lose, it had to be fought.

If Jin Qiang won, then he would be proving his ability to His Majesty.

Then, Jin Qiang, including the entire Jin family and the Jin Family Army behind him, could avoid being abandoned.

This was the most important thing!

Another thing was to silence the nobles' gossiping.

If Lin Chen won, that would be even better...

Jin Qiang couldn't even beat Lin Chen, who was at the mid-stage of First Revolution, which meant that he had tried his best.

Being inferior in skill, what else was there to say?

At that time, even if His Majesty the King was unhappy, he couldn't blame him.

The same went for the council...

After all, Jin Qiang had tried his best!

"Even without Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, without relying on the God-Slaying Formation, I'm not necessarily afraid of you!"

Lin Chen didn't care about so much.

He wasn't Jin Qiang.

Why did he have to consider so many things?

Lin Chen only wanted to use all his strength to defeat Jin Qiang!

One punch to break the mold prevents a hundred more!

Lin Chen not only wanted to kill people.

He also wanted to shock everyone!

He wanted the nobles of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom to never dare to set foot in the territory of Tianyue City again!

"If you want to fight, then fight!"

Lin Chen shouted loudly.

His whole body was like a sword, soaring straight into the sky.

The Primordial Celestial Extremity also turned into a stream of light, drawing a strange color in the void.

Afterward, Lin Chen and Jin Qiang actually engaged in close combat in the air...

Both of them used one move at a time, back and forth.

But they fought so fiercely that the air was vibrating!

Waves of heat, one after another.

Such a battle terrified the nobles...

"What speed are these two at?"

"I heard a long time ago that Jin Qiang was famous on the imperial battlefield for his swift and fierce spear techniques. He even fought against the general of the Feitian Tiger Clan and drew with the Third Revolution realm, which is why he became famous..."

"Provincial Governor Jin has actually cultivated thunder techniques into his spear techniques. Every strike can trigger lightning... unbelievable!"

"Thunder techniques can enhance speed. With Provincial Governor Jin's realm, his speed should be extremely fast, probably able to travel a thousand meters in an instant! But... why does Lin Chen look even faster than Provincial Governor Jin?"

"Indeed. Spear techniques are majestic and have the advantage of weapon length; sword techniques emphasize agility and lightness, but Lin Chen's sword techniques don't use softness to overcome strength, but violence to control violence... As a result, Lin Chen is using his sword to directly confront Jin Qiang's spear, and he's not even at a disadvantage?"

"Lin Chen... I have to admit, this child's talent is extraordinary!"

For the first time, these nobles, who were proud to the bone, finally lowered their arrogant heads in front of Lin Chen!

Lin Chen was too strong!

This was not just an empty phrase!

Just look at Lin Chen's record to know.

Before First Revolution, he defied Demiler.

During First Revolution, he had already killed Wu Xingtian with his sword, followed by Huo Zhili... and in the God-Slaying Formation, he also killed Huo Zhijin, the Flame Marquis who once dominated Zhenhai Province!

Such talent was more than extraordinary?

It was simply amazing!

Amazingly amazing.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the nobles were a whole of common interests, these marquises should have returned to their respective homes long ago.

Staying any longer was too risky.

What if this guy Lin Chen went berserk and wiped them all out?

It wasn't impossible.

Now, seeing that Lin Chen had such strength without using Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, and could fight Jin Qiang head-on without being at a disadvantage, and judging from the movements of the two men, these two were stronger than everyone present!

Even if they didn't admit it, neither Jin Qiang nor Lin Chen were comparable to them.

Therefore, these people no longer had any intention of coveting Lin Chen's Tianyue City.

They couldn't afford to provoke him!

This was also the effect Lin Chen wanted.

However, for Lin Chen, this alone was not enough.

Originally, Lin Chen still had some doubts about Jin Qiang's proposal.

Could it be that Jin Qiang was afraid of the God-Slaying Formation, so...

He wanted to trick himself into fighting at a high altitude, and then attack?

For this reason, Lin Chen had been on guard for a long time.

Although he was fighting Jin Qiang, his eyes had been paying attention to the Jin Family Army. When the two had exchanged hundreds of moves, and even once Lin Chen's super slide tackle had hit Jin Qiang and successfully knocked Jin Qiang away, the Jin Family Army had not moved...

At this time, Lin Chen had already guessed Jin Qiang's thoughts.

This battle, Jin Qiang was not fighting for face.

Nor was he trying to kill Lin Chen.

He... was just fighting!

Fighting for an opportunity.

"I'm sorry, I want this opportunity too!"

Lin Chen's heart sank.

In fact, didn't he also need an opportunity?

Lin Chen could indeed fight the peak of Second Revolution now.

However, the Dragon Spirit Kingdom didn't only have the peak of Second Revolution.

In the Imperial City, there were the Three Dukes, the Five Marquises, and even the King... who knew how many Third Revolution powerhouses there were!

With so many powerhouses, even if Lin Chen had the God-Slaying Formation, he would definitely not be their opponent.

Therefore, Lin Chen also had to show his strength.

The stronger his strength, the more attention he would receive from the King or the council.

Just as Winter had said before, Lin Chen had to rely on one side of the various forces.

But it wasn't that you wanted to rely on them, and they would definitely let you.

You had to prove that you were worth their effort...

And defeating Jin Qiang was the time for Lin Chen to show his 'capital' to the various forces of the Dragon Spirit Kingdom!

I, Lin Chen!

Am not only invincible at the same level.

But I can even defy the peak of Second Revolution!

If any of you can get my support, this deal will definitely not be a loss...

Lin Chen and Jin Qiang had their own ideas.

They both wanted to win!

Although Lin Chen also accepted this tacit understanding, and neither he nor Jin Qiang used fatal moves, Lin Chen had many more skills!

Forbidden Spell - Wind Violence Field!

Enchanted Half-Moon Slash!

Super Slide Tackle!

Forbidden Spell - Seven Stars Energy Gathering!

Super Club!

Super Backstab!

Sword Qi Horizontal and Vertical!

Forbidden Spell - Divine Statue Steps on Nine Heavens!

…

With so many skills being released one by one, Jin Qiang went from suppressing Lin Chen at the beginning to gradually being evenly matched, and finally Lin Chen had already begun to suppress him.

Don't forget.

Lin Chen still had skills he hadn't used.

Forbidden Spell - Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!

When this move came out, the golden spear in Jin Qiang's hand could only barely cope.

The golden spear in his hand was constantly parrying, constantly consuming the sword qi.

But the sword qi was endless, and there was too much of it.

When Jin Qiang finally exhausted the sword qi for a full ten minutes, and his whole body was not feeling well, he saw Lin Chen smile slightly... then, it was Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect again!

Sword qi once again, endless...

Lin Chen's current magic power could be used several times in a row for Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect.

Jin Qiang was speechless.

He couldn't bear it, so he shouted, "Forbidden Spell, Spear Breaks the Horizontal Mountain!"

Forbidden spell!

Jin Qiang was about to counterattack.

The golden spear in his hand directly cut off the sword qi.

No matter how the sword qi attacked, it just lay horizontally in front of Jin Qiang himself.

Motionless.

On the other side, Jin Qiang held the air in his hand, and then made a spear-shaking motion...

He saw that in his hand, he had also condensed eighteen long spears from air.

Swish swish swish!

All eighteen long spears roared towards Lin Chen.

At this time, Lin Chen put away Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect.

Then, he curled his lips again.

Seven Stars Energy Gathering, Instant Shadow!

Lin Chen grasped the opportunity.

Then, he passed through the attack of the eighteen long spears.

Bang!

Lin Chen's enchanted half-moon slash hit Jin Qiang.

Clang!

The golden spear lying in the air made a violent sound from this blow.

But, it wasn't enough.

Forbidden Spell - Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!

He saw Lin Chen taking the Primordial Divine Weapon Celestial Extremity as the center, and ten thousand sword qi began to condense...

However, Lin Chen was not going to attack Jin Qiang in the distance.

But...

The opponent's weapon, a golden spear.

"Break for me!"

Lin Chen shouted loudly.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, slammed hard on the horizontal golden spear.

Zheng!

Sparks flew everywhere!

However, the golden spear still didn't break.

It seemed that the quality of this golden spear was not low...

Then, again!

Lin Chen used the gem skill Time Controller on his equipment to refresh all his skills.

Immediately afterward, it was another enchanted half-moon slash, followed by a forbidden spell, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, and both skills slammed hard on the golden spear.

Clang...

The golden spear finally cracked in two!

Even his weapon had been cut off.

At this time, Jin Qiang, the provincial governor of Zhenhai Province, was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

That was his natal weapon.

The so-called natal weapon was very particular.

First of all, the quality of the weapon was definitely not low.

Secondly, you had to use your soul sea to establish a connection with the weapon.

Then, the soul sea had to continuously nurture the weapon for at least three years!

After the connection between the weapon and the soul sea was completely mature, the weapon could become your natal weapon.

At that time, all the attributes of the weapon would be increased by 10%, and the entry attributes would also be increased.

But if the natal weapon was broken, the soul would be damaged...

Jin Qiang was in this state at this time.

Blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and then he said in a deep voice, "I lost. I didn't expect you to have so many tricks... Why is there no time limit for you to use forbidden spells? It's as if... you can use these forbidden spells endlessly!"

Jin Qiang was now completely convinced.

He couldn't not be convinced!

Because...

Lin Chen had too many tricks.

And they were very rich.

The key was that he also had the strength!

"You should be glad that you didn't fight me to the death!"

Lin Chen said coldly.

At this time, where was he like the Lin Chen who first met Jin Qiang in Demon Sea Capital?

At that time, Jin Qiang still remembered that when Lin Chen saw him, he was still a little afraid.

But only a little over a month had passed.

Now, Lin Chen was already looking down at him while talking.

Jin Qiang was defeated, and his natal weapon was broken.

His soul was injured.

He could no longer fight.

Even if he could still fight, how could he fight Lin Chen without a weapon?

"I failed. Today's matter in Tianyue City will be..."

Jin Qiang looked at the crowd, intending to say something.

It was estimated that what he was going to say was related to how to deal with today's matter.

But now it was already...

Not his turn to speak.

Because from the sky, the sound of gold and iron horses came.

Everyone looked over there together.

Then, they all became solemn.

Jin Qiang didn't care about his serious injuries, struggled to stand up, and then bowed to the ground towards the gold and iron horses in the void, cupping his hands and saying, "This subordinate Jin Qiang, respectfully welcomes the Duke Protector!"

"We respectfully welcome the Duke Protector!"

The nobles also bowed together.

Except for Lin Chen, no one was an exception...

Everyone's face showed a look of respect.

Lin Chen frowned.

Duke Protector!

Wasn't this one of the Three Dukes guarding the imperial battlefield?

He... why was he here?

At this time, a person came to Lin Chen's side.

"City Lord Lin, why don't you quickly pay your respects to the Duke Protector? To be honest, this Duke Protector was invited by the eldest princess to help City Lord Lin solve today's predicament!" Winter said with a smile.

Then, he pulled Lin Chen together to pay respects to the chariot in the void.

At this time, he saw a general in golden armor walking out in the lead. He said loudly, "I am Long Qianshan, the general of the Dragon Abyss Army under the Duke Protector. Which one of you is Lin Chen?"

"City Lord Lin is calling you... This is the eldest son of the Duke Protector!" Winter quickly reminded Lin Chen.

"I am Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen took a step forward.

"You are Lin Chen... not bad." Long Qianshan nodded.

Afterward, a slightly old voice came, "Lin Chen, are you willing to follow me to the imperial battlefield and establish immortal feats? You don't have to experience those domestic disputes at all... Only when you reach the imperial battlefield can you know the vastness of the universe."

This voice should be the Duke Protector.

Long Yandao!

Third chapter.

A reader was right. Jin Qiang and the protagonist have more political disputes. There is no need to slap them to death. I didn’t intend to write Jin Qiang to death.

In this chapter, the protagonist only cut off Jin Qiang's weapon.

He is a weapon, also called Jin Qiang, don't get me wrong.

There will be a reversal later.

Think about it...

If Jin Qiang becomes the protagonist's subordinate... wouldn't that be more interesting?

In the next chapter, the protagonist will prepare to go to the imperial battlefield.

You can guess, the protagonist can't take the people from Tianyue City there, because those people are too weak. So... which army is the protagonist taking?

(End of this chapter)
