"In my opinion, Lord Chen is not only the poet of Nanqing, but also the martial god of Nanqing!"
"That's right. This time, even the Northern Qi National Preceptor Ku He has been defeated. In the world, who else can be a match for Lord Chen?"
"What a great hero!"
"..."
Everyone fawned over Chen Qingfeng.
They all knew it in their hearts.
As news of Chen Qingfeng's defeat of Ku He spreads, Chen Qingfeng's prestige in the Qing Kingdom will likely be unparalleled for a time to come!
Chen Qingfeng smiled helplessly after hearing the flattering praise from the officials of the Nanqing delegation.
At this moment, Fan Xian looked at Chen Qingfeng curiously and asked:
"elder brother."
"Tell me the truth!"
"When you hit the bitter lotus earlier, were you not using your full strength?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Chen Qingfeng with disbelief.
Even Haitang Duoduo was drawn to the scene, wanting to hear Chen Qingfeng's response.
After all, judging from Chen Qingfeng's previous encounter with Ku He...
Although Chen Qingfeng used many sword techniques, he always gave the impression that he was not going all out.
Does it really matter whether or not they used their full strength?
After a moment of silence, Chen Qingfeng gave this reply.
Seeing that Chen Qingfeng was unwilling to answer, Fan Xian helplessly pursed his lips.
He sensed that his older brother was holding something back!
"Master Chen!"
"congratulations!"
At this moment, Shen Wan'er came over and looked at Chen Qingfeng with affection, offering her congratulations.
Chen Qingfeng nodded slightly, smiled at Shen Wan'er, and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.
Just this moment.
This made Shen Wan'er feel like she was floating on clouds, so happy she was almost dizzy.
Just then, Zhan Doudou came down from the north palace wall with Lang Tao.
Unlike the Empress Dowager, she did not drive away directly, but went straight to Chen Qingfeng.
Seeing this, the officials of the Nanqing delegation who had been surrounding Chen Qingfeng quickly moved aside.
Zhan Doudou stepped closer and stared directly at Chen Qingfeng, saying:
"Chen Qingfeng."
"You're really good at this."
"Even our Imperial Advisor, Ku He, was defeated by you!"
At this point, Zhan Doudou paused slightly, then added:
"Now that you have defeated the number one martial artist in Northern Qi, no one in the entire Northern Qi can stop you."
Upon hearing Zhan Doudou's words, Chen Qingfeng slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful smile:
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
"I only managed to defeat the Imperial Preceptor by sheer luck."
"Besides, given the relationship between this foreign minister and His Majesty, he would never harm you."
As he said this, Chen Qingfeng suddenly gave Zhan Doudou a strange look.
Upon receiving Chen Qingfeng's gaze, Zhan Doudou was immediately thrown into disarray.
Don't be fooled by her calm and composed appearance at this moment.
But in reality, deep down, she had already lost some control.
In particular, she couldn't help but recall the passionate moments she shared with Chen Qingfeng at the Biyue Manor.
At that time, Chen Qingfeng used all sorts of tricks to make love to her.
"I...I was actually manipulated by him!"
Zhan Doudou muttered to herself, then quickly came to her senses and pretended to be calm, saying:
"Young Master Chen's word is as good as gold."
"With you like this, I can truly rest assured!"
Having said that, she left with Lang Tao without waiting for Chen Qingfeng's response.
After Zhan Doudou left the scene.
Inside Dingtian Palace, countless people from Northern Qi also got up and left.
Before leaving, they almost all looked at Chen Qingfeng, their expressions complex.
".〃hateful!"
"The Imperial Advisor has actually been defeated."
"We still lost to that barbarian madman Chen Qingfeng!"
"Now the people of Qing Kingdom will probably celebrate nationwide."
"I just don't understand, how could the Imperial Advisor, with such formidable strength, be defeated by him?"
"Although Chen Qingfeng is despicable, it must be said that his strength is indeed terrifying!"
"We must dare to face failure."
"That's right! If you don't even have the courage to accept failure, then you're truly doomed."
"With someone like Chen Qingfeng emerging from the Qing Kingdom, I fear our Northern Qi is in grave danger!"
"Chen Qingfeng is too strong. Just thinking about his strength is enough to make one despair. A dragon has emerged from Nanqing!"
"..."
As the people of Northern Qi left, they sighed with deep disappointment.
After all, this is before the competition has even started.
Everyone came with unwavering confidence in victory.
With the strength of Grandmaster Ku He, the Imperial Preceptor, defeating Chen Qingfeng would be a piece of cake.
But who would have thought.
Chen Qingfeng's strength far exceeded everyone's expectations.
In the end, it was he who defeated Ku He, the number one martial artist in Northern Qi!
This was unacceptable to the people of Northern Qi.
It felt like the sky had fallen!
The bitter lotus is their guardian deity, the object of their faith!
Not long after, the once bustling Dingtianque was deserted.
Most of the people had left.
Chen Qingfeng glanced at Fan Xian and the others, and said with a calm smile:
"Let's go! It's time for us to go back!"
Without further ado, Chen Qingfeng took the lead and walked out.
Seeing this, Fan Xian quickly followed Chen Qingfeng's steps.
Shen Wan'er quickly walked around to Chen Qingfeng's other side and walked alongside him.
"elder brother!"
"The final sword strike you used to defeat Ku He today, was it the Immortal's Kneeling Sword?"
As they walked, Fan Xian suddenly asked this question.
Chen Qingfeng nodded and hummed softly:
"Yes, what's the problem?"
Fan Xian glanced at himself and replied:
"That's a bit strange."
"Why do I feel that the 'One Sword Immortal Kneeling' technique you used this time is somewhat different from the one you used in the outskirts of Shangjing City (Liao Nuo's) before?"
Earlier, after Chen Qingfeng obtained the sword technique "One Sword Immortal Kneels," he took Fan Xian to practice it in the suburbs.
At that time, Chen Qingfeng cleaved a small mountain in two with a single sword strike.
Even now, those scenes remain fresh in Fan Xian's memory.
However, the sword technique Chen Qingfeng used to defeat Ku He in the previous competition, "Immortal's Kneel," was incredibly powerful.
But Fan Xian felt that something was off.
"What's the difference?"
Chen Qingfeng looked at Fan Xian meaningfully and asked.
Fan Xian wasn't surprised that he noticed the difference between the two sword strikes.
After all, when Chen Qingfeng performed the "One Sword Immortal Kneeling" move in the suburbs earlier, he was only using the power of a martial arts grandmaster.
And the sword strike that attacked Ku He just now.
He infused it with the magical power of the fifth level of the Celestial Realm of the Eternal Life Divine Power Secret Realm.
