Purple Lightning Emperor

Chapter 31

It wasn"t just the audience, even the Emperor that sat on his emperor"s seat had some black lines on his face.

As for the 3rd prince of the Nicholas Empire, his eyes had started to shoot flames as he was enraged. The fight had not even started, yet that shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d had already attacked and finished his opponents in one blow.

Not only that, they still did not know how he was able to electrocute his opponent because they did not see any lightning coming out from his palm nor any magic circle. they were still puzzled about this fact. The fight between the two hadn"t even begun and it was already over.

While the people were looking at Shad with a weird expression on their faces, he looked at them and said." when facing an enemy, being distracted or too trusting is a big taboo. Whether one was a warrior or a mage, it is something they should not forget."

"Distracted and too trusting my a.s.s! as an honored duel, you should always shake your opponent"s hand before the fight as a sign of respect and fair play, yet you fried and electrocuted your opponent while shaking his hand with a smile on your face, and now you are talking like n.o.ble characters or some wise old man. " thought the crowds but they could not voice their complaints out loud, they could only smile and agreed with the 4th prince.

" Indeed,one should never be distracted by the enemy on the battlefield nor underestimate your opponent." Voiced the 3rd prince as he clapped his hand with an amiable smile on his face.

On the surface, the 3rd prince looked very approachable and friendly, humble and kind. However, he had this side that the vast majority of people did not know about. Deep down, in order to achieve his goal, he resorted to any means necessary, no matter how vicious and cruel it was.

Although he was only twenty-one years old, this 3rd prince had lost all of his humanity and sees people only as tools and stepping stones in his quest for power. Things like morality and emotions probably meant squat to him.

However, if he hadn"t resort to some cruel and vicious method, there was no way he would have been able to acquire this kind of power and authority in the Nicholas Empire. His power and authority almost surpa.s.sed that of the crown prince, who was supposed to be the successor of the throne. Unlike the Djage Empire, the Nicholas Empire"s next emperor is chosen by the Emperor.

" Finally, someone understands me. So who"s next," answered Shad with an evil smile on his face.

Shad clearly knew the reason why this 3rd prince sent his goons to challenge him. It was to know his real strength as he will probably be his next opponent or obstacle in the Mulan kingdom.

As he was in the Imperial capital, his tuff. The 3rd prince could not do anything to him but to play nice and get some data on him and everything, his magic spells, the time he took to cast each spell, what kinda of spells he used etc. the only way he could do that was by sending his followers to test him. Unless he knows his true strength, he won"t engage him in a fight and made a joke out of him in front of all those people.


" Nickolson, you up next." Said the 3rd prince as looked at the other youth behind him.

Right now, it wasn"t about the adult rite of pa.s.sage but a showdown between the younger generations of the Djage Empire and that of Nicholas Empire.

As soon the 3rd prince mentioned his name, the young man named Nickolson quickly walked in the middle of the dance floor. At this time, the people from the Imperial family had already cast barrier spell like a coc.o.o.n that enveloped the dance floor preventing any stray fireb.a.l.l.s or swords to make the way onto the innocent guests.

All the spectators shifted their gazes to the young man standing on the dance floor who had a cold expression on his face. The young man adopted an eager stance, as though he couldn"t wait to battle. He had a long sword in his hand with an icy white jade embedded on the handle.

Even though it was just a regular honored duel, he could not just use a wooden sword to fight his opponent because his opponent was mage not a swordsman like himself. if both of them were swordsmen, that would have been a different story. His opponent wasn"t going to shoot some fake fireb.a.l.l.s or fake lightning arrows at him but the real ones, so he had to use a real sword to counter not some wooden sword.

Seeing how ready the guy was, Shad walked onto the dance floor as well.

" My name is Shad, it is an honor to fight a well-known swordsman like yourself" he said as he raised his hand for a handshake. he did not even know who the guy was, yet he was already a well-known swordsman in his eyes.

However this time, his opponent did not fall for it. His opponent did not dare to shake his hand but instead had released the strongest aura he could, not bothering to save his strength to fight a protracted battle.

Not only he was showing his self-confidence, he was also making a statement. In front of real strength, trickery was nothing but smoke.

He wanted to use the strongest, most tyrannical strength he could muster, to directly smash Shad. He was Nickolson, the strongest swordsmen in his generation in the Nicholas Empire, now it"s time for his name to spread throughout the Djage Empire as well.

The audience could all sense that Nickolson"s aura was rather abnormal. It was as though his battle qi had been transformed into an ice elemental battle qi which was twice stronger than a regular one.

" Hurry up, I still have one more fight after you.

Listening to Shad"s words, a hint of murderous intent flashed within Nickolson"s eyes as he felt humiliated.

As for Shad, his expression was calm as before. He was so calmed that he did not even bother to start chanting his magic spell nor released any magic power from his body.

Under the attention of all, Nickolson"s body erupted into motion. In that instant, his sword was cold as ice, and in a moment, he had already appeared in front of Shad.

His sword released a strange frost energy, cutting through the air, directly slashed toward Shad. However, before he would even get close, a pinging sound rang out from the exterior of Shad"s exterior thick blue mana shield as the sword made contact with it.
