My Wife is A Sword God

That night, many people in Imperial City tossed and turned, unable to sleep a wink.

This was not only because they were worried that the Dragon Clan might suddenly attack again and leave them dead without any explanation.

It was also because they had witnessed the legendary Dragon Clan, and the excitement had made it difficult for some of them to sleep.

Even on the second day, the streets and alleys were filled with citizens with dark circles discussing the scene of the black clouds that had descended upon the city last night and the golden dragon shadow that had swept towards the Heavenly Tower.

Due to the Dragon Clan’s invasion the night before, Imperial City’s defences had been greatly strengthened.

The four main gates of Imperial City had many demon-slaying officers stationed at them, and some even had members of the prison department secretly guarding them.

At the East Gate, Zhan Qingfeng yawned, feeling a bit bored. He looked at the newcomer who had recently joined and was diligently standing guard. Zhan Qingfeng smiled and said, “Kid, relax a bit. There is no need to be so nervous.”

The young man frowned and replied, “Senior, this is the legendary Dragon Clan! Every member is incredibly powerful. We have a heavy responsibility to guard the city gate, so we can’t be careless.”

Zhan Qingfeng raised an eyebrow, “Imperial City has four gates in all directions. What are the chances that they’ll come right through us? Besides, guarding the gate is just for show. If something really happens, it won’t be our turn to intervene. Have you ever thought that with your strength, you can stop the Dragon Clan if they really invade Imperial City?”

The young man’s expression stiffened, and after a moment of contemplation, he replied seriously, “Even if I can’t stop them, I will find a way to hinder them!”

Zhan Qingfeng shook his head. “Fine, a rookie is not afraid of tigers. Let me give you some experienced advice.”

At that moment, a bolt came from the blue sky!

Accompanied by a thunderous roar in their ears, a massive stone pillar fell onto the wide street.

The people on the street, who had just been walking, felt a gust of wind that blew them dozens of metres away.

Boom!

As the pillar hit the ground, the people barely managed to stabilise themselves. Astonished, they looked at the pillar, which was about thirty metres in diameter, of unknown height, and completely black with dragon patterns on its surface.

Rain, snow, and ice falling from the sky were commonplace for the townspeople, but to encounter a falling pillar of stone was an unprecedented rarity. They couldn’t help but associate it with the Dragon Clan that had appeared last night.

“Senior, take a quick look!” The young man pointed not far from the city gate with a trembling voice.

Zhan Qingfeng followed his gaze and saw a group of people approaching, led by an old man in a yellow robe with white hair who exuded an imposing aura.

Behind him were countless men and women, both majestic and graceful, all of them covering their faces with veils, making it impossible to see their faces.

Zhan Qingfeng couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. As someone who had worked in the Demon Slaying Department of Imperial City for many years, he naturally knew more about certain things than others.

For example, before marriage, female members of the Dragon Clan must cover their faces with veils because only their future husbands are allowed to see their true appearance.

If someone accidentally lifts the veil and sees her true face, he must either marry the Dragon Clan woman or face death!

Looking at the group of people not far away, they clearly appear to be from the Dragon Clan. 

Zhan Qingfeng took a deep breath, suppressing the trembling in his body and the uneasiness in his heart. 

In order to set an example as the senior, he forcefully maintains his composure and gives an order, “Xiao Li, I’ll delay them here. Quickly deliver the news of the Dragon Clan’s arrival to the Demon Slaying Department!”

As the words fell, no one responded.

Zhan Qingfeng looked around, but Xiao Li’s figure was nowhere to be seen.

Turning around, the passionate youth who vowed to find a way to block them has already run far away, shouting loudly as he runs, “Senior, I’ll seek help from the Demon Slaying Department. You must hang on!”

Zhan Qingfeng: “.”

This young man has future.

As the Dragon Clan people came closer and closer, Zhan Qingfeng couldn’t help but sway his legs. With his strength, he is afraid that a mere glance could turn him into a bloody mess.

At that moment, a hand pressed on his shoulder.

Nervously, Zhan Qingfeng exclaimed and turned his head to see a high-ranking official from the Prison Division, wearing a white mask and red robes with “Fire” embroidered on the chest.

“Lord Ding Mian!” Zhan Qingfeng said excitedly.

“No need to guard here anymore. Go back.” said Ding Mian.

“What about the Dragon Clan?”

“By order of His Majesty, let the Dragon Clan enter the Imperial City.”

The towering stone pillars naturally attracted the attention of countless people in the city, and the patterns on the surface of the pillars made it clear that they are from the Dragon Clan that appeared last night.

But what shocked them most is not the Dragon Clan’s arrival, but the announcement issued from the Imperial Palace.

The people in the city could hardly believe it and murmured the contents of the announcement: “The Dragon Clan is holding a martial arts competition to choose a spouse?”

Like a drop of water falling into a hot pan, the entire Imperial City immediately boiled over.

The originally towering stone pillar turned out to be the Marriage Challenge Arena!

Amidst the shock, as everyone sighed in relief, excitement spread among the people.

A marriage challenge was an unusual event in itself, and when the host of the challenge was a dragon, it was an unprecedented event.

Many speculated as to who had the great ability to overcome the dragon’s challenge platform and marry a dragon princess, thus enhancing the prestige of the human race!

“Defeated again, defeated again!” On the top floor of a restaurant, the people sighed as they watched the man who had challenged the arena being struck down by the dragon.

Including those who had come before, this was the twenty-seventh person to be defeated.

And without exception, they had all been thoroughly defeated, unable to withstand even a single blow from the dragon!

“I was also thinking about entering the ring, but now, I can’t even defeat the first person to defend the ring.” 

“I heard that this time the Dragon’s challenge platform has three levels. Only after overcoming all of them can one qualify to marry the dragon princess.”

“I think it’s quite mysterious. The dragons seem to have deliberately suppressed their strength to the same level as the challengers. However, their physical bodies and innate powers are simply too powerful. With so many challengers, not even their innate powers have been suppressed; how can they be defeated?”

“The Thirty-Six Stars of the Great Qian and the Twelve Divine Generals may have a great reputation, but apart from them, there really isn’t anyone with a  formidable power.”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but sigh, marvelling at the strength of the dragons and witnessing the weakness of the human race.

At that moment, an optimistic person spoke up: “Why be so pessimistic, my friends? It’s only the first day. We have many talented people in the Great Qian; someone will surely rise to the challenge.”

“By the way, have you ever wondered, if someone succeeds in the challenge, which dragon princess would they marry?”

After this topic was brought up, everyone became interested and began to speculate. The Dragon Princess was undoubtedly an incomparable beauty!

In a corner near the window of the restaurant, Lan Ningshuang looked at the arena and curiously asked, “Brother-in-law, do you know why the dragons arranged this challenge?”

After the words fell, no one responded.

Turning her head, Lan Ningshuang saw Qin Feng looking at the arena and scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.

“Brother-in-law?!”
