The Knight, the Sect Leader, and the Marquis (Part One)

Faintly visible were wisps of lightning, rolling and churning within the thunderclouds, occasionally revealing their menacing heads as if gathering for a powerful strike.

In addition, the ground beneath our feet was shaking violently.

This tremor was not a natural earthquake, but rather like an incredibly strong giant unleashing his fury, pounding and stomping the earth.

Arthur felt a familiar power amidst the storm and thunderclouds.

It is the power of Authority!

Thinking of this, Arthur frowned slightly, and "510" slowly released his Observation Haki.

A moment later, his expression became even more strange.

In his perception, a man and a woman were fighting on the other side of the mountain.

The male Arthur was a familiar face; he was the "senior" whom Arthur had wanted to "casually" visit in addition to completing this mission.

The oldest and strongest God Slayer —'Marquis' Sasha Dejansdar Voban.

As for the other one, Arthur didn't know much about it.

But from her attire, her fierce aura, and the suffocating power of her every move, one can guess her identity.

Law Hao Martial Arts King, also known as Luo Cuilian, God Slayer from the land of China.

This is a powerful woman who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts!

Let's leave aside the physical combat aspect for now.

The Swordsmanship that guy Salvatore Doni, the 'Sword King,' was most proud of was only similar to hers.

"I see!"

After recognizing the two individuals, Arthur suddenly showed a look of realization.

Although they God Slayer, 'Martial Arts King' Law Hao and 'Marquis' Sasha Dejansdar Voban are longtime rivals.

These two people's territories are in Northern Europe and the East, respectively.

It's fine if they don't meet normally, but if they do, it's only natural that they'll fight.

As for why these two Monsters, who rank among the top of the God Slayer, would appear in Japan at the same time.

Marquis Sasha Dejansdar Voban, just like in the original story, came to the Hime Miko to summon the "Heretic God".

As for 'Martial Arts King' Law Hao, he's definitely here to break the seal on 'Monkey God'.

A hundred years ago, she tried to blow up the temple and the nearby shrine, but failed because she couldn't penetrate the corridors of the Hidden World.

She must have come with this purpose in mind, otherwise she would never have left her residence.

"Interesting..."

This plot, which deviated from the original story, piqued Arthur's interest somewhat.

'Call out--'

He leaped into the air, stepping on a golden cloud, transforming into a golden streak of light, and flew rapidly towards the distance.

The scene before his eyes was rapidly reversing, and the strong air currents made Arthur's navy blue cloak flutter wildly.

Experiencing the feeling of Somersault Cloud in the Hidden World is far less wonderful than in the real world.

This speed is several times faster than "East Starion".

Moreover, the consumption is almost zero.

In just a few breaths, Arthur arrived on the other side of the mountain.

Standing high above the clouds, Arthur could see the battle much more clearly.

It was a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in white Hanfu, her long, black hair, as smooth as silk, braided into three upright braids, engaged in a fierce battle with a silver-furred werewolf.

Each punch and kick unleashed a deafening sonic boom, turning the surrounding rocks, cliffs, flowers, trees, and other debris into innocent cannon fodder, leaving the earth in ruins.

The werewolf's claws are like the sharpest blades in the world.

With just a flash of white light, a smooth cut appears on the ground or stone wall.

Even towering trees couldn't withstand his claw.

"Insolent fool... who gave you permission to spy on the 'King's' battle?"

However, Arthur had hoped to enjoy the battle.

Just as he arrived, Law Hao and Voban, who were engaged in fierce fighting below, both stopped simultaneously.

Law Hao's exquisite face revealed undisguised displeasure. Looking up at Arthur standing on the clouds, she cried out in a delicate voice, "Heaven's way is clear and bright, Earth's way is peaceful and tranquil, and humanity's way is empty and stagnant!"

Almost at the very moment she began chanting her Word of Power, instead of launching a sneak attack, Voban, who was facing her, leaped back a short distance.

"Bright and radiant, lightning flashes and brilliance shines; Heavenly spirits and earthly spirits, the Taishang Laojun commands this swiftly!"

An extremely terrifying curse erupted from Law Hao's graceful figure, forming a terrifying demonic wind.

The sound of private ballads began to rise softly, and the demonic wind transformed into a terrifying hurricane, soaring into the sky.

The roar of the hurricane was like the cry of a dragon and the howl of a tiger.

Even from a distance of over a thousand meters, Arthur could feel the overwhelming pressure emanating from the building.

More importantly, Law Hao's demonic wind was not a single attack, but a large-scale area-of-effect attack.

'Call out--'

Before long, the thunderclouds above Arthur's head seemed to be dispersed by a single blow.

The sky, which had been filled with dark clouds, instantly became cloudless.

And the Somersault Cloud beneath Arthur's feet also vanished.

As he took it, Arthur, like a meteorite, broke through the attack of the demonic wind and fell down as a beam of silver-white light.

--"Steel 2.7 Strength".

The Authority usurped from Susanoo-no-Mikoto greatly amplifies the weight and hardness of the body, making it less likely to be blown away.

After being tested by this demonic wind, Arthur finally witnessed the power of the pinnacle of God Slayer.

Salvatore Doni is no match for these two Monsters have lived for over two hundred years.

"The aura of Authority... You rude wretch, are you the new junior?" Arthur landed without being targeted by any snipers.

Law Hao seemed to have discovered his identity and couldn't help but reprimand him, saying, "It's one thing to not show respect to a senior, but to actually spy on my battle with the Marquis with such an arrogant attitude! New Rakshasa King, if you can't give me a reasonable explanation, then I will have to teach you a lesson as a senior."

Chapter 367 Knights, Cult Leaders, Marquises (Part 1)

What a terrible temper!

Upon hearing Law Hao's words, Arthur clicked his tongue in surprise, a rare occurrence for him.

Such an arrogant woman, besides Hancock from before, only Law Hao could rekindle that feeling in him.

In fact, Law Hao's temper and personality were dozens of times worse than Hancock's.

He's just here to watch the game!

Law Hao actually used Authority power to try and knock him down from the sky.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have perished in that demonic wind long ago.

After discovering that Arthur was also God Slayer, she actually demanded that Arthur apologize to her.

This is a woman who pays great attention to etiquette and demands uprightness in battle!

He truly deserves to be called a martial arts master from the late Qianlong era!

Just asking Arthur to apologize... that's overthinking it!

"Would you like to give me some pointers, 'senior'?" Arthur looked directly at Law Hao without fear and said with a light laugh.

"As you wish 17--"

As soon as Law Hao finished speaking, a beautiful figure dressed in white Hanfu appeared in front of Arthur. This decisive action was full of chilling force.

"So fast!"

Seeing Law Hao's teleportation-like technique, Arthur's pupils contracted slightly; he hadn't even Future Sight.

Just like the teleportation ability of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

Law Hao's skill was not some kind of Authority, but a mysterious Taoist Arts from the land of China called "Shukuchi Divine Art" or "Shinsokutsu Skill".

To master this Taoist Arts, aside from light-body skills, one also needs an extremely flexible and strong body.

'Boom--'

Without uttering a single word, Law Hao teleported to Arthur's side, her beautiful face now covered in frost, and her slender, jade-like hand struck out at Arthur.

"--Fighting south of the city, dying north of the city walls, those who die in the wild are left unburied, yet crows can eat them. I say to the crows: Be a guest, a hero!--"

"--The dead lie unburied in the wilderness, their rotting flesh unable to escape their clutches. The waters rush and surge, the reeds and rushes grow dark and lush; the valiant riders fall in battle, the worn-out horses linger and neigh--"

This palm strike is not only a powerful martial arts move, but also contains the Authority of a technique called "Great Strength Vajra Divine Art".

The air was distorted by the palm strike, and the deafening sound was enough to pierce eardrums.

This palm strike was delivered with full force, a strike imbued with murderous intent.

This is Law Hao's way of ruling!

Aside from her direct disciples and the god-slaying king who is on equal footing with her, anyone who sees her face will have their eyes gouged out by her domineering nature!

He would punish even his own apprentices mercilessly for any mistakes they made.

When it comes to fighting, she's a woman who has absolutely no idea what it means to hold back.

'Clang--'

The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the area.

The sound of metal clashing echoed throughout the area.

Law Hao's powerful palm strike landed on a bladed scabbard. The palm strike, powerful enough to shatter mountains, failed to break the magnificent King's Sword of kings.

However, the terrifying impact still sent Arthur flying.

Even the ground had a shockingly large crater.

"--I am the strongest, and I hold all victory in my hands. Whether human or demon, I will crush all enemies, and I will surely defeat any foe that stands in my way! O bull with shining golden horns, grant me your aid!--"

"--Fear those who possess wings! The wicked and the powerful alike fear me, with my wings! My wings will bring you curses! The wicked cannot strike me!"

"--At this moment, with the Shemesh's Blessing, I unleash this sword! A sword that is sure to kill and hit its mark--"

As he flew backward, Arthur took advantage of Law Hao's momentary daze and quickly chanted the Word of Power of "Bull," "Phoenix," and "Sun," raising Excalibur high and swinging it down at Law Hao.

'Swish--'

Golden light illuminated the world, and a sword as massive as a skyscraper pressed down upon it.

It roared out like a tsunami, spreading towards Law Hao.

"Such amazing Swordsmanship!" Looking at the approaching sword pressure, Law Hao's frosty face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

She was arrogant, so arrogant that she embodied the meaning of "God Slayer".

Perhaps it was due to the feudal system in China two centuries ago that her personality remained unchanged.

Despite possessing the Authority to make cities prosperous, he chose to live in seclusion deep in the mountains because he disliked high-tech cities.

Her martial arts skills are at the pinnacle of the world.

In terms of physical skills, no one can match him.

In terms of Swordsmanship, only her junior, the Italy "Sword King" Salvatore Doni, could rival her.

But they are only close; without using his Authority, Salvatore Doni is no match for her.

In other words, Law Hao's Swordsmanship was also among the World's Strongest.

And now, seeing Arthur unleash such a powerful slash so easily...
