Peace Order-Chapter 1581 - 25: Return to Jiangnan, Claim the Treasure

Chapter 1581: Chapter 25: Return to Jiangnan, Claim the Treasure

The river surged violently, and the winter wind carried a sense of grim and solemn atmosphere.

Ships carrying numerous armors and weapons moved downstream, while a hundred riders galloped forth, their horse hooves thunderous like storm. Days passed, and they were already nearing the area of Jiangnan.

Reaching this place, it could be considered truly safe.

No need to worry about any sudden disasters.

Niu Wei and the others settled down, letting their horses roam freely, feeling an indescribable comfort and ease---

This journey, not only successfully rescued General Yue, but also met Prince Qin, and traveled with him to Central State, drinking the king’s fine wine there. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

It was truly satisfying.

Yet, amidst the hundred riders’ joy, two people had heavy expressions, hinting at some complexity within.

Dou De and Dan Xiong had witnessed Prince Qin’s aura, feeling somewhat depressed along the way. The distance to the Jiangnan Eighteen States was not far; Dou De suddenly went to find Li Guanyi to resign during a day of rest.

Upon resigning, he inadvertently said:

"I wonder if I could spar a bit with His Highness, Prince Qin."

Yue Pengwu slightly raised his eyes and glanced at Dou De.

Dan Xiong, who previously was joking with others, couldn’t help but stop.

The atmosphere changed momentarily as all eyes converged on them, yet Dou De remained calm and frank, saying: "I was fortunate to receive the Divine Martial King’s legacy, but I have been bewildered about the Divine Martial King’s defeat by Prince Qin."

"This time, after escorting Yue here, the front is Jiangnan, and it’s considered safe. We have an agreement with the brothers and must return. Before leaving, I wish to test Prince Qin’s skills."

Dan Xiong moved forward, advising: "Big brother, how can you be so reckless!?"

"Prince Qin’s identity is such that he shouldn’t be challenged casually by us?"

"You’d better retract this statement quickly."

Although Dan Xiong said this, his gaze was fixed solely on Li Guanyi, who spoke: "Since Brother Dou plans to leave, naturally, I must bid farewell. I ask General Yue to lead everyone onward."

"I will personally see them off."

Yue Pengwu slightly nodded, Dou De stood there, as straight as a mountain, eyes unwavering.

Dan Xiong just assumed that Prince Qin wasn’t completely confident in defeating Dou De, at least unwilling to lose face before others, thus his tense heart slightly relaxed, smiling and nodding, saying:

"I came here with Brother Dou, naturally we leave together."

He looks at Dou De, worried in his heart.

Dou De, in his youth, was famous throughout the land, possessing martial prowess and courage. Later, he received the Divine Martial King’s legacy, always arrogant and unmatched.

At this moment, he was at the peak age for an ordinary martial artist, and although his martial arts was at the Eighth Layer Heaven, even those at the Ninth Heaven might not easily defeat him.

This was a man who obtained the Divine Martial King’s legacy.

His every move exuded the natural and achieved aura of an overlord.

Yet during this period, Dou De witnessed Prince Qin’s courage firsthand, plunging into profound self-doubt, ultimately wanting to try, to see the gap between him and Prince Qin.

During this time, Dan Xiong watched his courageous brother fall silent, hoping he could break free through this battle.

He believes in his brother.

In the land spanning a thousand miles, none are more brave than Dou De.

As long as he could engage with Prince Qin in a thrilling battle, even if it ended in defeat, Dan Xiong believed Dou De could emerge from that shadow, reclaiming his ambition and heart of courage.

Defeating Dou De in front of everyone was originally a way to showcase strength and win hearts.

Prince Qin let everyone depart.

Doesn’t this symbolize that, despite Prince Qin’s bravery and might, he lacked confidence to easily defeat Dou De?

Thus, it’s secure.

Dan Xiong felt somewhat assured, soon, everyone had left.

Li Guanyi raised his hand, gripping the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd, the divine weapon pointing at Dou De ahead, solemnly saying: "You both have shown loyalty, escorting General Yue for thousands of miles, arriving here today, since you intend to spar, I can’t refuse."

"I shall send you off with this move!"

The weapon in Dou De’s hand raised, his formidable martial arts burst forth, Dharma Form rising. This renowned Central Plains martial world figure, leading thousands of rangers, said solemnly: "Please."

Dan Xiong gripped the hilt of his sword at his waist, his spirit tense.

With this battle, maintain your brotherly ambition!

Men, mighty men, feel the magnificent passion burning within.

How can it be defeated by this person...

Boom!!!

A terrifying aura exploded fiercely.

Dan Xiong’s inner voice was instantly shattered.

Above the sky, clouds pressed layer by layer, then, centering on Li Guanyi’s position, spread in all directions. Li Guanyi wielded his weapon pointing at Dou De, his robust Inner Qi compressing layer by layer.

Finally, it transformed into a black-red hue of iron and fire, wildly dancing.

Prince Qin gripped the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd with both hands.

The aura of an overlord gradually unfolded.

"Since it’s like this."

"Then I must go all out."

Dan Xiong’s facial expression slowly solidified.

Dou De intended to learn his opponent’s skills, but the overwhelming, invincible aura rushing towards him gave an almost needle-like pain, as if the next moment he would be slain.
