Chapter 488: Killing the King
Chapter 488: Killing the King
On the stage, the shepherdess finally came to the king's court and confronted the actor who played the noble woman. Then the two of them officially dueled under the king's court.
By this stage, everyone in the box and the theater's security was on edge.
The battle between two third-level fighters, even if it is confined to the theater stage and is prepared in advance, is not something that can be easily ignored.
Apart from anything else, both of them were wearing armor, and anything that flew or was thrown during the fight could cause damage to the people in the box. Those who came here to watch the show were all people of status, and any damage to one of them would be a serious accident.
On the stage, the shepherdess and the noblewoman were fighting fiercely. Even without the simulated wall collapse scene on the periphery, the sound of the spears knocking against each other and the armor colliding together could make people feel the intensity of the fight.
The audience can clearly feel that these two people are really fighting for life and death.
At this point, the theater will adjust the frequency of the two people's battle for them so that they can see the entire process.
The battle between the third-level fighters is something that ordinary people cannot see, and this battle alone is worth the price of admission.
However, all the third-level fighters in charge of safety in the field were closely watching the every move of the two people below, fearing that there would be even the slightest accident.
The melody of the song also becomes intense and upbeat at this moment.
In such a situation, the dramatic effect is maximized.
Chen Chuan still couldn't understand the meaning of the song. As the music that resounded through the sky became more and more grand, he had a feeling that the melody seemed to be pushing a certain emotion to a climax.
The shepherdess, or the armor, moved faster and more intensely, and the fight between the two was so intense that it was hard to breathe.
After fighting for about three minutes, the gun in her hand stabbed into the noble woman's chest. The noble woman seemed very shocked and knelt down on the stage.
At this point in the music, there was an abrupt pause.
Chen Chuan could feel that the emotions expressed by the actor who played the noble woman were real and not acted out, but all the audience were immersed in the plot and did not notice anything unusual.
He stood up from his seat, and at this time, many excited audiences who were involved in the show also stood up and applauded. It was obvious that they were very satisfied with the performance of the plot.
The shepherdess then drew out her rusty sword and pointed it at the sky. Then the originally majestic and passionate music sounded again, surging like a surging tide.
There was even more enthusiastic applause from the audience, but it was not over yet, there was still a final act to come.
The final outcome was unknown at the time because the place had become a ruin. In the version circulated in the West, the shepherdess cleared the knight's grievances, and the king canonized her and the knight on the spot, thus becoming the king's feudal lords. The shepherdess also found a way to cure the knight, and they walked together hand in hand at the end.
However, in the Eastern Continent, another version has been circulating for a long time - the War of Regicide!
The king sent out his court swordsman to recruit the exhausted shepherdess, but she flatly refused.
The King must pay!
The shepherdess threw down her broken lance, drew out her rusty sword, and killed all the court swordsmen and the king!
And at this moment on the stage, she first raised the sword in her hand into the air facing the light, then slowly moved it down and pointed forward, swinging the sword at the king.
The music chapter also reached its climax at this moment, with a grand rhythm, like crashing waves and heavy rain.
Chen Chuan took a look and found that the position where the sword was pointing was exactly where Speaker Quan was, perhaps by coincidence.
He turned around and looked at Chen Bitong again, and saw that the latter was also looking at him.
He suddenly understood that Chen Bitong had already seen the problem, or knew where the problem lay, and he had been kept here on purpose in order to give him the task of saving Speaker Quan.
This seemed to be a reward for his previous advice to Xiaojin, and he knew that the latter had enough ability to cover it.
However, this move may also have some kind of team-standing effect. Coming forward to save Speaker Quan can easily lead people to make associations. However, as a person with a mission, he is not afraid of public actions.
He looked at the armor, and as the music and the emotions in the field resonated and drove him, he could feel the strong field waves that were gradually rising.
When the movement reached its climax, the shepherdess suddenly leaped from her original position and leaped towards the speaker's box, pointing the rusty sword in her hand straight ahead.
Chen Chuan quickly determined that the opponent's attack had reached its peak after killing the noble woman, driven by the divine song. It had exceeded the power it should have under normal circumstances, and it was difficult to block it head-on.
Chen Bitong might have thought of it and might make up for it if he made any mistake.
Although you may be stronger in force, this is not pure force. The root cause is actually an anomaly. So, please just watch from the side.
He stared forward, his mind highly focused, his body slightly lowered, and with a bang he stepped out of the box, taking the Snow King Sword out of its sheath. Two figures walked towards each other in the sky above the theater, and just when the two were about to collide, Chen Chuan suddenly turned in mid-air, and the Snow King Sword stabbed into the gap of the helmet.
At the same time, a strong sense of emptiness appeared on the second me, but his eyes did not move at all. At this time, the hidden intention in the long sword became active, as if it absorbed something from there. He did not care, but just picked it up suddenly.
The helmet was lifted high and flew out, as if it was cut off by a sword, and the long platinum hair fluttered out. The eyes of the actress who played the shepherdess showed a moment of confusion.
Chen Chuan passed by her and landed steadily on the ground. He was standing right under the lights in front of the stage. He swung his sword lightly, making a sound of breaking through the air.
The actor seemed to be interrupted in his jump and fell from mid-air, half-kneeling on the ground with a thud. A moment later, his helmet also fell with a snap onto the aisle behind him.
The audience looked on in amazement. What happened in that instant was so fast that they didn't understand whether it was a new drama or some other unexpected event.
The security personnel in each box reacted quickly, rushed to the front, and used their bodies to shield the employers in the back. They looked down seriously.
Tan Zhi and the other three were all stunned. They didn't think much about Chen Chuanchu staying outside, thinking that he had met a superior or a friend. But they didn't expect that he would meet the actor who played the shepherdess in the blink of an eye.
Chen Chuan glanced at the helmet that fell to the ground. As he had judged, this set of armor had influenced the actor's consciousness. Perhaps the latter still thought that he was immersed in the drama at the moment. However, this showed that this anomaly needed a carrier, otherwise it would not be able to exert its power.
Then it's easy.
He raised the knife, with the handle facing forward, the blade resting on his shoulder, his center of gravity lowered, then he stepped on the ground, and his figure flashed suddenly. At this moment, the frequency modulation on the field signal seemed to blur, as if it could not fully express his movements.
He came in front of the "shepherdess" in an instant, and then slashed with a knife. The rusty sword was raised accurately and was about to be blocked, but there was a sound of "clang", and the rusty sword was cut off by him. Then the knife continued to move and fell on the forehead of the actor.
However, there was not even a scratch on the blade. The powerful force penetrated into his body, causing his movements to freeze. He maintained the posture of holding the knife with both hands and chopping down.
The "shepherdess" paused for a moment, and the tattered armor on her body suddenly cracked, and then pieces fell to the ground. Finally, her hand loosened, half of the rusty sword fell to the ground, and she fell straight to the ground.
Chen Chuan then slowly put away his sword and stood up. This armor needed a carrier. Without a body to rest on, it would be of no use.
Of course the most important thing is that he defeated the shepherdess head-on.
With his experience in exorcising strange stories and anomalies, he believed that this was the key, because defeating the opponent would mean the end of the drama and the ending would be changed.
At this time, he looked up and saw that the danger was over. The security above made way. Speaker Quan walked to the front and looked down. Chen Bitong appeared on the other side and nodded to him.
Chairman Quan seemed to have anticipated this. He said to Jie Pingli, "Assistant Bao, you take care of this matter."
Bao Yun, the assistant director of the Security and Defense Department, immediately stood up and said to the audience, "You all should know that the uniqueness of divine songs sometimes has a certain impact on actors, and we have been informed of this in advance.
After careful consideration, we felt that we couldn't let you miss this wonderful stage play, so we made sufficient arrangements. We arranged sufficient safety measures in advance. This... Captain Chen has made many meritorious contributions abroad. With him here, you can rest assured.
I just don’t get to see the ending come to a successful conclusion, which I personally feel a little regretful about.”
"No, I don't regret it." Speaker Quan said to the audience, "The sword strike of the Shepherdess showed the momentum of killing the king. This is the most exciting show I have ever seen."
Then he looked at Chen Chuan again, "And Captain Chen, thank you for your efforts and for holding back, which prevented the actor from getting hurt too much and leaving her with no regrets. I thank you on her behalf."
As he spoke, he clapped gently. The politicians in the box immediately clapped their hands, leading the people in the audience to applaud along. The thunderous applause rang out like a tide.
At this time, medical staff quickly came in and carried the unconscious actress down the aisle.
Chen Chuan glanced at Speaker Quan and Chen Bitong above him, then looked at the people in the box above and around who were applauding. He calmly withdrew his gaze, holding the Xuejun Knife, and slowly walked out along the middle aisle amid the thunderous applause.
Soon he came upstairs. After returning to the box, Chen Bitong handed him the scabbard of the Xuejun Knife. He took it and said, "Thank you, Teacher Chen."
Chen Bitong said: "After this holiday, I will stay at the training class permanently. Captain Chen, if you have time, you can come and see me."
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "I'll come." After a pause, he looked at Chen Bitong and said, "Teacher Chen, can I know the real reason for this drama?"
Chen Bitong was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
