Chapter 37 - 37 37 The Tyrannical Martial Saint

?37: Chapter 37: The Tyrannical Martial Saint 37: Chapter 37: The Tyrannical Martial Saint “What a fierce spirit!”

Qin Yu stared at Guan Yu and marveled inwardly.

Mingling in both the military and political spheres, his discernment was incredibly sharp; Guan Yu was no ordinary man.

The domineering aura exuded by Guan Yu he had only ever seen on one other person, the commanding general of the Qianyue Kingdom, Nan Meng!

Moreover, the oppressive feeling Guan Yu emanated even surpassed that of Nan Meng!

It wasn’t just him; everyone else was also shocked.

The normally arrogant Blood Blade King was dumbfounded upon seeing Guan Yu, and even the woman in green couldn’t help but frown and size up Guan Yu.

“What a great man!”

The innkeeper exclaimed in admiration and quickly ordered a server to help Guan Yu with his horse.

“Honored guest, would you like a room?” the innkeeper asked cautiously.

As a businessman, he knew which people could be pushed around and which should not be offended.

He had seen countless people, even those of the Golden Elixir Realm, but he had never encountered a powerhouse with such an earth-shaking aura as Guan Yu.

Guan Yu stroked his beard and nodded, “That’s right.”

As he spoke, his piercing eyes swept over the entire place, and where his gaze ventured, no one dared meet his eye.

Even the green-clad woman who had previously looked down on Qin Yu instinctively lowered her head, thinking in shock, “Such a powerful aura, even more terrifying than the elders in our Holy Sect!”

“I must win him over!”

Qin Yu trembled with excitement.

Currently, the main obstacle on his path to claiming the throne was Nan Meng.

Although he had won over many officials in the court, the Qianyue Kingdom’s army was firmly in Nan Meng’s grip, leaving him no opportunity to intercede.

Guan Yu was a fierce general before his death, and after becoming a god, his cultivation soared, his general’s spirit far beyond what ordinary people could match.

If he were to stand beside Nan Meng, even Nan Meng would fall short in terms of presence.

“Esteemed senior…”

Qin Yu bowed with a clasped fist, and although he was the Fifth Prince, no one in the room was surprised at his gesture.

The reason was simple; this towering, imposing man was too powerful!

Merely looking at him gave people a sense of insurmountable power, let alone the thought of combat.

Guan Yu had always been supremely proud, and even more so after becoming a god and dwelling in the heavens.

The system’s summon only altered his memory; his abilities and character remained unchanged, so he did not restrain his aura.

At the ninth level of the Transforming Void Realm, just one step away from the Earth Immortal Realm, the aura he casually released was as dazzling as the bright sun.

“Be gone, I loathe those who use their status to oppress others the most, even if you are a prince,” Guan Yu said, waving his hand dismissively.

On hearing this, Qin Yu’s face twitched, and he felt a twinge of pain in his liver.

Big brother, who’s using their status to oppress others here?

The whole inn is being crushed by your aura to the point no one dares to breathe too loudly…

Qin Yu cursed inwardly but dared not show it, fearful that Guan Yu might crush his throat on the spot.

Guan Yu seemed to notice his dissatisfaction and glanced at him sideways, scaring him into hastily backing away.

“I’ll not disturb senior’s rest,” Qin Yu said, bowing his hands.

After speaking, he left with the Blood Blade King, and the peculiar stares from the surrounding guests left him utterly embarrassed.

He knew that after today, the entire city would be talking about this.

Although he was angry, he dared not show anger towards Guan Yu.

In fact, he was even more eager to win Guan Yu over.

If he could subdue Guan Yu, then this embarrassment could turn into a wonderful tale.

After leaving Cliff Inn, the Blood Blade King couldn’t help but express his awe, “That man just now was really strong.

Just one look from him gave me a suffocating feeling.”

Qin Yu nodded, “If we let him join the upcoming competition with Canglan Kingdom, we can definitely win!”

The moment he saw Guan Yu, he thought Guan Yu was stronger than Nan Meng—a bizarre feeling that made him even more curious about Guan Yu.

He had intended to deal with Yan Mobei today, but Guan Yu’s appearance instantly diverted his attention, and he pushed Yan Mobei to the back of his mind.

…

Inside Cliff Inn, Guan Yu found an empty table and sat down.

All the other patrons’ attention was on him, no one daring to speak loudly, only whispering among themselves.

Guan Yu was used to this and did not become angry.

Being a martial artist, he had always been the center of attention wherever he went after he achieved great martial prowess.

After learning the ways of cultivating immortals, his temperament became even more violent.

“Miss, this man doesn’t restrain his presence at all, he really doesn’t regard others at all.”

The maid whispered to the woman in the green dress, to which the woman only shook her head and smiled, “If he were to release all his presence, Cliff Inn would be flattened in an instant.”

“That powerful…” The maid said, her mouth agape in shock.

Just then, the sound of children’s playful noise came from the third floor.

Qin Jun appeared, walking downstairs with Yan San and nine other children.

Daji, Roaring Sky Dog, Yan Mobei, and his three servants followed close behind.

“And then Guan Yu, whose wine from Cao Cao had not yet gone cold, brought back Hua Xiong’s head, startling all the lords so much that their complexions drastically changed…”

Caught up in the moment by the accidental summoning of Guan Yu, Qin Jun spontaneously started telling the children Stories of the Three Kingdoms, and they clung on to his every word, insisting on hearing more.

Guan Yu’s expression changed on the first floor, and he abruptly stood up, startling everyone into standing up as well, creating a tense atmosphere that left people afraid to breathe heavily.

Everyone was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with this man.

When Qin Jun reached the first floor and noticed the odd atmosphere, his eyes naturally landed on Guan Yu, and his face immediately lit up with surprise.

Guan Yu’s image was deeply engrained in the hearts of the Huaxia people—his green attire, towering presence, a face as red as dates, and a large beard—his nickname of ‘Beautiful Beard’ was by no means undeserved.

The patrons also recognized Qin Jun.

His feat of sending a high-level energy refining realm cultivator flying with a slap had been a hot topic in Cliff Inn for a long time.

Now seeing Qin Jun and Guan Yu face off, they couldn’t help but sigh, fearing that this young master was in trouble!

“Your Highness, I have arrived late, I ask for your forgiveness!”

Guan Yu approached Qin Jun quickly, knelt on one knee, and saluted with a fist, a scene that shifted the expression of every onlooker.

Ssst—

This fearsome man was actually the subordinate of this young master?

The lady in green widened her eyes in shock, scrutinizing Qin Jun carefully, as a storm of surprise churned in her heart, noting that Qin Jun had the cultivation of the sixth layer of the Foundation Establishment realm.

He seemed about the same age as the Fifth Prince yet possessed such advanced skills.

A genius!

A true genius!

“Second Master Guan, you’ve finally arrived!” Qin Jun excitedly exclaimed.

His address made Yan San and the other children look at Guan Yu in astonishment.

Daji and Roaring Sky Dog looked at Guan Yu with wary faces, sensing a hint of danger emanating from him.

This towering man was also a Transforming Void Realm powerhouse!

“When I was learning martial arts, I was once under the care of Ancestress Xu of the Honored Consort Xu.

I promised her that once my cultivation reached fruition, I would assist her descendants.

Learning that Your Highness was in crisis, I came to your aid.

After investigating all the way here, I only just discovered Your Highness had already returned to the royal city,” Guan Yu said with a sigh.

Honored Consort Xu was Qin Jun’s stepmother, who had passed away three years ago.

One has to admit, the identity the system set for Guan Yu was flawless—an explanation beyond investigation, as it involved the Xu Family ancestors.

With the Xu Family long gone, only Qin Jun remained.
