The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 410

Ren Xiaoyao's face changed. He didn't expect that the other party was the prime minister's direct descendant, that is, his elder brother Ren Haoyu.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is a first-class family, and is a royal family. The Prime Minister's daughter is an official appointed by the court. Ren Haotian is Ren Haoyu's eldest son and the only young master of the Ren family.

The current prime minister is over 40 years old and has no children, so Ren Haoyu inherited the position of prime minister and became the largest family in Tianfeng Kingdom.

Although Ren Xiaoyao is only twenty years old, he is the number one genius in Tianfeng Country. His martial arts are already top-notch among his peers and can compete with the geniuses from first-rate families.

"Young Master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ren Haotian?" Ren Xiaoyao frowned, "How do you know my name?"

Ren Haotian snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "Ren Xiaoyao, don't think you are safe hiding in Tianfeng Country, you'd better prepare to die!"

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed; he already sensed a dangerous aura.

He knew that he had to resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise, he would be in danger when those people arrived.

"Sorry, I'm not hiding. I never intended to conceal my whereabouts." Ren Xiaoyao looked at Ren Haotian and said lightly.

"That's right, Ren Xiaoyao, I didn't intend to kill you, but you're just too much of an eyesore, so..." Ren Haotian had a sinister look on his face, "You must die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already taken action.

"boom--"

Ren Xiaoyao raised his hand to catch the opponent's attack, and his body was shaken back a few steps.

His eyes narrowed slightly, he had sensed the danger. His speed was much faster than before, but the opponent's strength was also much stronger. It seemed that he had underestimated the opponent.

He did not dare to underestimate the enemy again, and quickly mobilized the internal energy in his body, circulated it throughout his body, and raised his combat effectiveness to its peak state.

“Swoosh—”

Suddenly, a dagger appeared in Ren Haotian's right hand and stabbed Ren Xiaoyao in the heart.

This was something Ren Xiaoyao had not expected at all. The opponent's speed was simply too fast for him to defend against.

"boom--"

There was a sound of metal clashing, and the two men's fists and feet collided again.

Ren Xiaoyao took five or six steps back, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

He looked up at Ren Haotian. The other party's speed was faster than before. Obviously, Ren Haotian did not use his full strength just now.

"boom--"

Ren Xiaoyao kicked the ground with his left leg again, and a crack suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Puff--" He looked at the guards beside him and ordered: "Go and arrest him."

The guard nodded, took two steps forward and stopped Ren Haotian.

"How dare you! I am the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Ren Xiaoyao, you are so bold that you dare to be rude to me?" Ren Haotian was furious. He was of noble status, who dared to be rude to him?

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at Ren Haotian calmly and said, "You don't deserve it."

"What?!" Ren Haotian's face turned red with anger, "You are looking for death!"

After he finished speaking, he drew out a soft sword from his waist and stabbed towards Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao curled up the corner of his mouth and moved sideways to avoid Ren Haotian's fatal attack.

Ren Haotian was stunned. His soft sword missed?

"What happened?" Ren Haotian was shocked. "I clearly felt that I stabbed you, how could it be..."

Ren Xiaoyao sneered and said, "Do you think you are a genius? Can you kill me?"

"What do you mean?" Ren Haotian asked.

Ren Xiaoyao sneered and said, "Everyone in the world thinks that you are just an ordinary waste, that's right. But do you know that you are actually the most powerful genius in our Ren family?"

Ren Haotian's expression changed slightly. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao and asked, "How did you know?"

Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly and said sarcastically: "This is easy to find out. The Ren family has more than one genius like you, right? There are three others. It's just that they were suppressed by my father, so they have never shown up. But now, the most important thing is to get rid of Ren Haoyu first, after all, this person is one year younger than him!

"Ren Haoyu, are you here to die?" Ren Xiaoyao smiled coldly, "I'm actually very curious, what did I do wrong to deserve your hatred for me."

Although he was not fond of the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he could not bring trouble to his family because of his own reasons.

Ren Haoyu sneered and said sarcastically: "Ren Xiaoyao, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you have some strength! Aren't you very powerful? Then kill me! If you kill me, my parents will give my sister to you as a concubine, and you will become a distinguished guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future and enjoy all the glory and wealth."

Ren Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Oh? Then I really thank you!"

He doesn't like any woman to get close to him, not even his fiancée, because he doesn't allow physical contact between men and women. That's his principle.

Ren Haoyu looked at him coldly, "Ren Xiaoyao, do you dare to accept the challenge?"

"Why shouldn't I dare? Since you have already challenged me, I will make sure you accept your defeat sincerely."

Ren Haoyu laughed, "Okay, then I'll make you die with a sincere heart."

They both flew away at the same time.

......

On the other side, inside a dilapidated temple.

An old man in a green shirt and white pants, with a medicine basket on his back, was sitting on a cushion and meditating. His hands had long fingers and neatly trimmed nails. He had a handsome face and fair skin. The old man's eyes were slightly closed, and he exuded a calm and detached aura, as if he had merged with the ruins of the dilapidated temple, but was outside the hustle and bustle of the world. Outside the temple, the wind blew the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, which made the temple even more quiet. In the medicine basket, the fragrance of the herbs drifted away, interweaving with the curling sandalwood smoke rising from the incense burner, adding a bit of Zen.

Suddenly, the old man frowned slightly, as if he sensed something. He slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes flickered like cold stars in a deep pool. He raised his hand and gently stroked the medicine basket, as if he was comforting the spirits of the plants and trees in it, or as if he was asking them something. After a moment, the old man gently stood up, carried the medicine basket on his back, and walked lightly towards the temple gate.

At the same time, Ren Xiaoyao and Ren Haoyu were standing opposite each other on the top of a cliff. The mountain wind was howling, making their clothes rustle, like two eagles about to spread their wings and fight. Their eyes were like torches, and the hostility between them was like substance, almost colliding to create sparks in this small space.

Ren Xiaoyao raised his eyebrows, pointed the long sword "Qingfeng" at the ground, and the sword shone with a cold light, reflecting his resolute face. He knew that this battle was not only about personal grudges, but also about the safety of the family. Although he hated Ren Haoyu's provocation, he could not back down in the face of this bet on the fate of the family.

Ren Haoyu held a heavy sword "Blood Drinker" in his hand, the blade was as red as fire, which matched his sinister face. He had a cold smile on his face, his eyes were full of contempt and provocation for Ren Xiaoyao. In his opinion, Ren Xiaoyao was just relying on a little martial arts to compete with him, and today was the time to let him face the reality.

"Ren Xiaoyao, have you ever thought about this: if you lose, who can your so-called principles protect?" Ren Haoyu snorted coldly, wielding his heavy knife, with the tip of the knife pointing at Ren Xiaoyao, "If you surrender, I can consider letting you go."

Ren Xiaoyao frowned, but said nothing. He just shook his wrist, and the Qingfeng Sword hummed instantly. The sword energy surged out and rushed straight to Ren Haoyu. He responded with action, indicating that he would never retreat a single step because of the other party's threat.

At this moment, a faint sound of breaking air came from the direction of the ruined temple in the distance. Ren Xiaoyao and Ren Haoyu both noticed something strange and looked over. They saw a green shadow passing through the sky like a gust of wind and appearing on the top of the cliff in an instant. It was the old man in the ruined temple.

The old man just stood still, glanced at the two of them, and said calmly: "Young man, why bother fighting to the death over a personal grudge?"

Ren Haoyu glanced at the old man and replied unceremoniously: "Old man, you have nothing to do here, get out!"

Ren Xiaoyao clasped his fists towards the old man and said, "Senior, I don't want to involve innocent people in my affairs. If you are willing, please step aside for a while."

The old man smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I am not meddling in other people's business, but I have something to tell you two. Do you know that the real enemy is not each other, but someone else?"

As soon as these words came out, Ren Xiaoyao and Ren Haoyu were both stunned. They looked at each other and each of them was suspicious. However, in this brief moment of distraction, a strong breath suddenly swept in from afar, accompanied by a proud long roar, and a masked man in black suddenly appeared on the edge of the cliff, followed by a group of mysterious assassins in night clothes.

The black-clothed man's eyes were as fast as lightning, shooting directly at Ren Xiaoyao and Ren Haoyu, and said in a cold voice: "Ren Xiaoyao, Ren Haoyu, you two boys, will die here together today!" Before he finished speaking, the long black whip in his hand rose into the air like a dragon and snake, and pounced on the two men.

The real crisis has just arrived. Ren Xiaoyao and Ren Haoyu are forced to temporarily put aside their personal grudges and join forces to deal with this sudden powerful enemy. A fierce battle concerning life and death, family survival and the secrets of the martial arts world has begun... Seeing this, the guard wanted to step forward to help Ren Haotian, but was stopped by Ren Xiaoyao. There was a sharp light flashing in his eyes, as if he had already expected everything. Ren Xiaoyao was calm and unhurried. Facing Ren Haotian's soft sword attack, he was as erratic as a swallow, and every dodge was accurate to the millimeter, making Ren Haotian's attack all miss.

"Ren Haotian, do you know why you feel like you stabbed me, but you can't even touch me?" Ren Xiaoyao said sarcastically. He didn't have a weapon in his hand, but he seemed to hold an invisible sword. He stared at the other party with a sharp gaze. "You have lived under the protection of the Prime Minister's Mansion since you were a child. You have been pampered. Although your family has cultivated your martial arts, you rely too much on external objects and neglect the training of your own perception and internal strength. Your soft sword seems to be agile, but in fact, the moves are superficial and lack strength. It is all driven by arrogance."

Hearing this, Ren Haotian tightened his grip on the sword, and a look of shame and anger appeared on his face. He tried his best to calm his mind, tried to adjust his breathing, and re-focus his sword energy. However, Ren Xiaoyao did not give him a chance to breathe. Before he finished speaking, he flashed and approached Ren Haotian's side in an instant. His left hand lightly rested on his sword-holding wrist, and his right hand, with fingers like knives, quickly pointed at the "Jianjing Point" on Ren Haotian's shoulder.

Ren Haotian felt a chill running through his bones, and hastily drew his sword to defend himself, but Ren Xiaoyao easily resolved it, and the soft sword flew out of his hand and stuck in the tree trunk beside him, making a buzzing sound. Ren Haotian was still in shock, staring at Ren Xiaoyao with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

"Your martial arts foundation is shallow, your meridians are blocked, and your internal energy is sluggish. If you hadn't relied on the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion and the family's secret medicine to forcibly improve your cultivation, I'm afraid even ordinary people in the martial arts world would have found it difficult to match you." Ren Xiaoyao said coldly, "And your so-called "genius" is nothing more than the result of your family's excessive flattery of you in order to maintain face. A true genius not only has extraordinary qualifications, but also needs to go through hardships before he can achieve martial arts."

Ren Haotian's face was livid, and he was filled with rage, but he was powerless to refute. He had never thought that the title of "genius" that he had always been proud of was so vulnerable. He struggled to stand up, but Ren Xiaoyao held his shoulder with a palm, and he could not move.

“Ren Haotian, what you went through today is just a wake-up call for you. If you still want to gain a foothold in the martial arts world, you must abandon your impetuousness and concentrate on cultivation. Otherwise, sooner or later you will become a pawn in the hands of others.” Ren Xiaoyao withdrew his hand, turned around and left, leaving Ren Haotian slumped on the ground with mixed feelings in his heart.

The crowd watching held their breath and watched this sudden competition, all secretly marveling at Ren Xiaoyao's martial arts attainments and sharp words. And Ren Haotian, at this moment, could only chew on Ren Xiaoyao's words in his heart. Perhaps, this was the beginning of a turning point in his life, or the first step towards his true martial arts path.
