627: So close yet so far

Just at this moment, a young man wearing light yellow brocade robes and possessing an otherworldly aura said loudly:

"Eldest Imperial Brother, it is rare for everyone to gather together today, and with such a beautiful scene, if we only drink, wouldn't that appear too monotonous?"

"Fifth Imperial Brother, what high opinion do you have? Feel free to speak directly." Crown Prince still wore a faint smile on his Face.

"Eldest Imperial Brother, how about this? Everyone brought guards today; why not let everyone's guards spar with each other? This could bring some different fun to the banquet." The Fifth Prince, Long Jingdong, laughed and said.

"Eldest Imperial Brother, Fifth Brother makes sense. It's rare for us to gather, and just eating and drinking like this is indeed boring. Since we all brought guards today, letting them spar to liven things up would be good!"

Third Prince laughed and stepped out.

There was constant competition among the princes. At every banquet, they basically brought their strongest guards so as not to lose Face.

The reason Third Prince stood out had two main purposes: one was naturally to attack the Dragon God Crown Prince, and the second was to take the opportunity to deal with Yang Lingchen.

"Sparring between guards, this is a good idea! I also agree." Long Aotian's lips curled into a sly smile, and he then coldly glanced at Yang Lingchen.

Although Long Aotian's cultivation level was only at the Peak of the Haotian Realm, his guard's cultivation level had reached the third layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm, which shows that the Dragon Clan places extraordinary importance on his talent.

Following Long Aotian and Third Prince's statement, many Dragon Clan Disciples at the scene expressed their agreement, and their gazes toward Yang Lingchen were filled with a hint of coldness.

"I agree."

"I also agree."

At this moment, many Dragon Clan Disciples raised their hands in agreement. They had made up their minds to dampen Yang Lingchen's spirit and regain the Face lost during the Grand Competition.

"You are in trouble!" Long Qinxue's red lips curled into an alluring smile.

"I am your person now; you wouldn't just watch me get beaten up, right?" Yang Lingchen said helplessly.

At this banquet, the guards brought by the younger generation of the Dragon Clan all had cultivation levels above the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Especially for the Dragon Clan princes; to suppress their opponents, the guards they brought to every banquet basically reached the third layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm.

Although these guards were not from the Dragon Clan and their Combat Power could not compare to the Dragon Clan princes, they had no problem fighting across a minor Realm.

With Yang Lingchen's current strength, wanting to defeat these guards was very difficult.

After all, these guards' cultivation levels had already reached the third layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm, and almost all of them possessed the ability to fight across a minor Realm.

Yang Lingchen's current strength was only equivalent to the Fourth Level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, so wanting to defeat these guards was not that easy.

"This palace can only ensure you don't die; as for whether you get beaten up, that depends on your own ability." Long Qinxue's pretty Face revealed a faint smile.

"Then what if I kill their guards?" Yang Lingchen asked.

He had to ask this question clearly first to avoid trouble later if he killed someone and Long Qinxue didn't cover for him.

"If you really kill their guards, this palace can guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you." A powerful aura emanated from Long Qinxue.

"This is what you said, okay?" Yang Lingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, after discussions among several Dragon Clan princes, the banquet was finally moved to a spacious area.

Fortunately, the back garden of the Dragon God Crown Prince's Residence was spacious enough, otherwise it really couldn't accommodate this level of battle.

At this time, several old men with thick auras set up a powerful combat barrier in the center of the back garden.

"Your Highness, the barrier has been set up. With us guarding the barrier, even a Cultivator at the Heavenly Dao Realm Fifth Layer cannot damage a single blade of grass here." One of the old men said confidently.

"Elder Liu, thank you for your hard work." Crown Prince said politely, then turned to look around and said:

"Since everyone wants the guards to spar and exchange pointers, this Crown Prince does not want to reject your Face."

After a pause, Crown Prince turned to look at the surrounding guards and said: "However, it must be stated clearly beforehand: in sparring and exchanges, casualties are inevitable. But everyone must remember one thing: if someone surrenders, you must stop. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself. Of course, if you don't surrender and get killed, then you cannot blame anyone else."

"Did you all understand what His Highness the Crown Prince said?" Third Prince turned to look at the surrounding guards and asked sarcastically.

"Understood." The guards of the various princes and other Dragon Clan geniuses responded one after another.

Subsequently, the guards of the various Dragon Clan geniuses began to challenge each other. The first to enter the arena was a middle-aged man at the Second Layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm. This person was named Jiu Bozhi, and he was a guard for a Dragon Clan Genius.

"Jin Lun, come out and fight!" Jiu Mozhi coldly looked at a middle-aged man wearing golden battle robes.

"Old Jiu, since you are seeking death, I will fulfill your wish." Jin Lun shouted coldly and leaped into the barrier.

"Who lives and who dies is not yet certain. Last time you were lucky to save your life; today, if you have guts, don't surrender." Jiu Bo roared and also landed in the barrier.

These two did not have much nonsense. After entering the barrier, they immediately launched intense attacks.

Clearly, both of their cultivation levels were at the Second Layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm, and their Combat Power was also on par with each other.

After fighting for over a thousand moves, the two finally chose to stop.

Because after fighting for so long, neither of them gained any advantage; instead, they both ended up injured. Helplessly, they had to choose to end the battle in a draw.

The sparring between the guards continued, while Yang Lingchen stood quietly behind Long Qinxue.

Just at this moment, a middle-aged man with a cultivation level at the third layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm stepped out from behind Long Aotian.

This person was named Chen Shuibian. His aura was incomparably thick, his eyes were extremely sinister, and his crooked mouth curled into an evil smile.

"Brat, if you have guts, come have a fight with me, Chen Shuibian." Chen Shuibian looked coldly at Yang Lingchen.

"Fuck, just because of your wretched name, I will hammer you to death today."

Yang Lingchen shouted coldly, leaped, and landed directly in the barrier.

"Stinky brat, you are seeking death."

Seeing Yang Lingchen insult his name, Chen Shuibian was furious. His body directly turned into a white light, rushing toward Yang Lingchen in the barrier to kill him.

"Today, I will use you to practice my blade."

Facing the violent Chen Shuibian, a hint of gravity appeared in Yang Lingchen's eyes. He intended to use the opponent to temper his Space Martial Skill.

Although the opponent's cultivation level had reached the third layer of the Heavenly Dao Realm and his Combat Power was comparable to the Fourth Level of the Heavenly Dao Realm, it was not impossible for Yang Lingchen to defeat him. If he could transform, he could even kill the opponent in one move. However, he could not expose his Dragon Clan identity for now, so he intended to use his newly cultivated Space Martial Skill to fight.

Cultivating Space Martial Skill is very difficult. To quickly master the Law of Space, one needs infinite battles. Only by constantly exploring in battle can one quickly master the secret of Space Martial Skill.

"Inches Away Yet Worlds Apart!"

Yang Lingchen silently chanted in his heart, yet his body did not change at all. At the critical moment, he hurriedly swung the haotian cudgel to meet him.

"Damn, this Martial Skill is really hard to Cultivate!"

Cold sweat broke out on Yang Lingchen's forehead. A moment ago, he was almost hit by Chen Shuibian's Protective Aura.

The battle continued. Yang Lingchen swung the haotian cudgel continuously, while also occasionally experimenting with the Space Martial Skill, Inches Away Yet Worlds Apart.

Inches Away Yet Worlds Apart is the name of the Space Martial Skill. Once cultivated to Major Achievement, one can instantly enter space and travel through time and space. Even if one only Cultivates the entry level, it can achieve the effect of instant movement, and its speed far exceeds the Phantom Movement Technique.
