Chapter 528 Who is this young man?
"Who exactly is this young man? And why is he so powerful?"
Li Qingsong seemed to be asking the people around him, or perhaps talking to himself.
Chen Dao's combat prowess at this moment was undoubtedly astonishing.
It should be noted that Chen Dao looks to be only about 18 years old, but the strength he has shown is... Rank 4.
What does it mean to be an 18-year-old of the fourth rank?
The Azure King Xia Yuanying is 40 years old now, and although he has been practicing martial arts for over 30 years, he has only just reached the fifth rank!
As for Li Qingsong, he entered a Taoist temple at the age of 8 to start learning martial arts, and it took him 35 years of practice to reach the current peak of the fourth rank.
And what about Chen Dao?
At the age of 18, he already possessed the strength of the fourth rank, almost equal to Li Qingsong. Even if he had started cultivating from the womb, it would be impossible for him to reach the fourth rank in just eighteen years.
It's just that Li Qingsong didn't know that Chen Dao had been practicing martial arts for less than a year, otherwise his entire worldview would probably have been turned upside down.
Having reached the fourth rank in eighteen years is already incredibly impressive, but to break through to the fourth rank in just one year... even traditional stories wouldn't dare to write something like that.
"I don't know!"
Upon hearing Li Qingsong's question, Qianli'er shook his head. How could he not be curious about the boy's identity?
This person not only dared to attack the Green King's Mansion against all odds, but also possessed extraordinary talent, having reached the fourth rank at such a young age, and was accompanied by a terrifying beast...
Chen Dao exuded an air of mystery, which made Qianli Er very curious about his identity and background.
Logically speaking, a young man with such extraordinary talent as Chen Dao should be famous throughout the land, but even Qianli'er, an intelligence broker, had never heard of his existence.
"clang!"
Guns and swords clashed, separating instantly.
After exchanging another sword strike with Xia Yuanying, Chen Dao used the recoil to create a safe distance, his expression remaining calm and composed.
In contrast, Xia Yuanying's expression no longer held the confidence she had before.
Although he could fight against fourth-rank officials, he himself was ultimately not a true fourth-rank official.
At the fifth rank, his physical strength and explosive power were indeed stronger than Chen Dao's because he had cultivated the Overlord Spear. However, in terms of the depth of his internal strength, he was somewhat inferior to Chen Dao!
As the fight dragged on, Xia Yuanying could feel his strength being greatly depleted and his body beginning to feel fatigued. If this continued, he would surely be the one to lose.
"Hoohoo!"
Xia Yuanying's breathing became slightly rapid. She glanced at Xia Yan and her expression became even more gloomy.
At this moment, Xia Yan certainly couldn't help him; the only ones who could help him were the royal guards.
The moment Xia Yuanying faced Chen Dao, the Prince's guards wisely chose to surround and attack Chen Cheng. At this moment, hundreds of Prince's guards surrounded Chen Cheng, intending to use a human wave tactic to eliminate him first.
Even ants can kill an elephant if they are numerous. Facing such a large number of royal guards, Chen Cheng was under immense pressure. However, he remained silent and kept punching his enemies. Even though he would get a wound every now and then, Chen Cheng did not retreat an inch. He only hoped to kill more enemies and help Chen Dao relieve the pressure!
"Send a portion of the Prince's personal guards to fight alongside me!"
"Yes!"
At Xia Yuanying's command, about half of the hundred or so guards from the Prince's Palace immediately came to besiege Chen Dao.
This greatly reduced Chen Cheng's pressure, but it also made him more anxious.
Chen Dao and Xia Yuanying are evenly matched. If these guards from the Prince's Mansion were to join the battle on that side, Dao-ge'er might be in danger!
Realizing this, Chen Cheng's attack became even more ruthless. Long ago, he had made a vow to protect Daoge'er, even if it meant his own death. This was his own vow, as well as his promise to his mother and the villagers of Chenjia Village.
Chen Cheng would never allow Dao Ge'er to die before him, or even be injured!
Chen Cheng's eyes turned bloodshot as he unleashed his full power, smashing the heads of the royal guards one by one with each swing of his fist.
However, there were simply too many guards in the Prince's Palace, and each of them was quite strong. Even if Chen Cheng recklessly unleashed his full power, it would still be difficult for him to kill them all in a short time. On the contrary, because he disregarded his own safety and attacked with all his might, he suffered even more injuries.
"Kill with me!"
On the other side, seeing the Prince's guards gathering, Xia Yuanying became even more confident. He gripped his spear tightly and charged towards Chen Dao along with dozens of Prince's guards.
A glint of cold light struck first, growing larger and larger in Chen Dao's eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the blades of the Prince's guards drew ever closer!
Faced with a large number of enemies, Chen Dao did not choose to fight head-on, but instead used all his movement skills to dodge the attacks of Xia Yuanying and the royal guards as much as possible.
But two fists can't fight four hands. With so many guards wielding their swords and Xia Yuanying waiting for an opportunity to strike, Chen Dao naturally couldn't resist.
"Pfft!"
Just as Chen Dao deflected Xia Yuanying's spear with his sword, a flash of light came from his side.
A royal guard swung his sword, aiming straight for Chen Dao's neck.
Chen Dao was startled and quickly tried to dodge to the side.
However, it was already quite late.
The blade flashed, leaving a bloody wound on Chen Dao's shoulder!
"Brother Dao!"
Surrounded by the Prince's guards, Chen Cheng roared, his eyes bloodshot.
He's an honest man, the kind of fool others might think of, but he knows who's good to him!
Chen Dao can be said to be the greatest benefactor in his life. It was Chen Dao who made sure he had enough to eat, enabled him to become a martial artist, ensured that his whole family did not go hungry, and even helped him and his two younger brothers get married.
Chen Cheng had always valued Chen Dao more than his own life, so when he saw Chen Dao injured, he was furious!
"what!"
Chen Cheng grabbed the head of the guard in front of him, his eyes bloodshot, and squeezed hard.
"boom!"
The guard's head immediately exploded like a watermelon, with red and white splattering everywhere, some even landing on Chen Cheng's face, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.
This scene terrified many of the guards in the Prince's mansion. Chen Cheng was truly terrifying at this moment, causing them to instinctively feel some fear.
However, the thought of what might happen to them after the prince's death...
These royal guards immediately abandoned any thoughts of cowardice.
As the royal guards, their lives were tied to that of the Prince of Qing. If the Prince of Qing died, not only would they be executed, but their families would also die!
Therefore, no matter how strong or terrifying the opponent is, they cannot back down even a step!
The guards gripped their blades tightly and once again surrounded and attacked Chen Cheng.
"Ahhh!"
Unable to escape, Chen Cheng grew increasingly furious. Fearing for Chen Dao's safety, he became even more violent, aiming for the heads of his guards with almost every punch, smashing their skulls open.
