Have a Drink, Watch a Show
Seeing their master captured, the guards turned their swords, axes, and muskets, which were aimed at Canossa, towards Rein.
Not only the guards, but also the nobles and merchants in the banquet hall gathered around and began to scold them.
"Release Your Highness!"
"You bastard, do you know what you're doing?!"
"My God, has this guy gone mad? Doesn't he know that attacking royalty is a capital offense that punishes three generations of the family? That damned brute, he's got us all in deep trouble now!"
"."
Prince Peter is the eldest son of the Rosas Family. If he is killed here, everyone present will be implicated.
I have to admit, this guy named Rein is really good.
His domineering aura Third Tier Extraordinary Movement Technique, along with his rapid advance, caught the eye of the nobles and wealthy people present, who were mostly Transcendent but useless extraordinary beings.
But in their eyes, such behavior is nothing more than that of a brainless brute.
Sharp?
No matter how powerful they are, they will surely die!
They thought that Rein had captured Prince Peter in order to use him as leverage to negotiate his escape.
So they all started trying to persuade him.
"Quickly put down His Highness, and everything can be discussed."
"Yes, don't be impulsive. Let go of the person, and everything will be easier to discuss."
"."
Unexpectedly, a "crack" sound of bone breaking was heard immediately.
The prince's head lolled to the side, and he died on the spot.
Rein thought this guy was Young Master George; at least he didn't smell of urine when he twisted him in his hand, so he happily snapped the guy's neck.
The once arrogant Prince Peter died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
Until his last breath, he couldn't understand why this person actually dared to attack and kill him.
After that crisp cracking sound of bone breaking, the threatening and persuasive words around them came to an abrupt halt.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still.
The onlookers were all frozen in place.
They stared at the limp corpse with utter horror in their eyes.
It took a long time for my brain to process the "horrifying reality" I was seeing.
He's gone mad, he must be mad!
Where on earth did Canossa find such a madwoman?!
The previous arrests were not originally a dead end.
If the "Black Gold Merchant Guild" were to concede some money and soften its stance, it might be able to survive.
Now that the men she brought have killed Prince Peter, this is a fight to the death.
It's over, there's absolutely no way to turn things around now!
Seeing this, many of the timid young ladies and wives collapsed to the ground, their minds blank.
When their master is killed, and the murderer is right in front of them, bystanders may be shocked and stunned, but the guards, who are also armed guards, become extremely angry.
The Third Tier berserker guard was the first to react.
The moment he saw Rein kill someone, he swung his long-handled giant axe.
The battle axe came hurtling through the air, but Rein didn't even flinch. He simply raised one leg and stomped down on the axe handle. With a "bang," the battle axe slipped from his grasp.
This attack caused the berserker guard's expression to change drastically, his heart filled with shock: What kind of Monstrous Strength is this?!
Rein broke through his opponent's attack with his feet, and his hands were not idle either.
The next instant, he threw out both fists simultaneously, the two punches whistling through the air striking the berserker axeman's chest and face with pinpoint accuracy.
The Monstrous Strength pierced through the burly man's Bodyguard Battle Qi, and even through his light armor, his chest caved in. His face, unprotected by armor, was blasted into a bloody mess by the force of the punch.
Two muffled thuds rang out simultaneously, and the burly man was sent flying backward, landing on the ground, unable to get up again.
A veteran Third Tier expert's guard was severely injured in a single exchange, his fate unknown.
The shock of those who witnessed this scene was still fresh in their eyes.
In an instant, Rein moved again.
Once he decided to take action, he showed no sign of stopping.
His movements were like a ghost, his fists, imbued with explosive energy, slammed into the seven or eight guards one after another. Without Bodyguard Battle Qi, these low-level Transcendent were utterly helpless against his Monstrous Strength straight punches.
If your hand comes, break your hand; if your foot comes, break your foot; if your head comes, smash it to pieces.
Just two breaths later, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered on the ground.
Blood soaked through the exquisite carpet, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.
What was supposed to be a pleasant Auction Banquet instantly turned into a bloodbath.
The man in the white suit stood like a domineering tiger amidst the pile of corpses, exuding an imposing aura. His plain white cloak fluttered even without wind, and his cold, stern face showed no sign of panic after the killings.
At this moment, he expressionlessly took out a pair of boxing gloves, put them on, and squeezed the gloves, seemingly preparing to unleash a killing spree.
For a moment, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
All the guests present gasped in shock. Those who had been talking excitedly and waiting to see the "Black Gold Merchant Guild" make a fool of themselves were even more terrified, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.
No one expected this guy to be so terrifying.
They wiped out Prince Peter's elite guards in a single encounter.
All the complex emotions of everyone present turned into fear.
Death, it turns out, is so close to me.
These nobles and wealthy people, who hadn't seen blood in a long time, were all stunned.
They then realized that things were not as simple as they seemed.
He also realized that this guy, known as the lord of "Black Dragon City," had never taken the Rosas Family seriously!
"Guards! Seal off the manor!"
After a loud shout, the Duke's Mansion's guards surged into the banquet hall like a tidal wave, completely surrounding it.
In fact, just as Rein was about to kill someone, a group of cloaked figures gathered around a crystal ball in a secret room in the manor and witnessed the scene.
But everything happened too fast; there was no time to stop it.
Of course, seeing Rein appear, the group was not surprised at all; on the contrary, they breathed a sigh of relief.
After setting the trap for so long, they finally caught their prey.
"Since this kid is here, it seems that Bazel should be near the manor."
"Not bad, this kid has good talent, he's definitely not sent here to die. But I'm curious, where exactly is that barbarian shaman hiding?"
"Although we don't know how that barbarian sneaked in, he's probably already in the city. Let's prepare to make our move. Once Bazel and the other two legendary warriors show themselves, we absolutely cannot let them escape!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"By the way, what about the Beast Tide?"
"We've sensed some unusual activity from the magical beasts; it's probably a sign of Beast Tide."
"That's strange. Since the Beast Tide hasn't arrived yet, what's the point of that kid showing up so urgently?"
"I have a feeling the barbarians have other tricks up their sleeves, so we'd better be careful. Let's send a guard to probe first."
"."
Inside the banquet hall, the guests were in complete chaos.
The gates were blocked by the Duke's Mansion's guards, and no one could get out.
The ladies who had just maintained their elegant demeanor were now terrified, their screams and cries filling the air; the once-refined gentlemen, no longer daring to retain any arrogance, scrambled and fled in all directions.
Under the dining table, under the stage, behind the stone pillars, and even on the roof beams, these noble gentlemen and ladies hid everywhere, disregarding their image.
Because what I was seeing was absolutely terrifying!
They had expected a good show when Prince Peter appeared, but to their surprise, the prince was killed in the blink of an eye.
They originally thought that after the murderer killed someone, the guards would capture the madman instantly, but unexpectedly, the guards were killed instantly;
They initially thought the arrival of the Knights would quickly bring the situation under control, but unexpectedly, it has now turned into a bloodbath.
That guy in white was incredibly powerful; no one could withstand a single blow from him.
At this moment, the banquet hall had become a slaughterhouse, littered with corpses as he had slaughtered them.
The sounds of intense gunfire and the clanging of swords clashing were incessant.
Amidst the hail of bullets, a white figure moved swiftly, his signature white cloak fluttering in the wind.
Rein was like a human cannon, rampaging through the knights.
Wherever he went, it was as if cannonballs had landed and exploded, with limbs flying everywhere and blood gushing out like fountains.
Although the banquet hall was spacious, it could barely accommodate a battle formation of a hundred men. Moreover, due to the setup of the auction, there wasn't much open space for a full-scale battle, which gave Rein room to maneuver and eliminate enemies.
His ghostly figure could be seen everywhere amidst the thick white smoke of gunpowder.
After two months of arduous training in the desert, Rein's combat strength was several levels higher than before.
He had already grasped the basics of [Thunder Shadow Instant Body], and his Movement Technique were becoming increasingly agile and unpredictable. Unlike his previous [Divine Speed], which was easy to predict, he was now like lightning, his movements winding and unpredictable, making him impossible to fathom.
After advancing to the Third Tier Extraordinary, Rein never slacked off in his martial arts training. With Guy's guidance, he mastered precise Qi Control. He would never waste a single bit of his battle Qi when he could use it in a move.
Furthermore, due to the poison of the [Void Ten Thousand Poisons Hand], he is now extremely efficient at killing. Even the Heavy Armor Guard and mechanics covered in mechanical armor that he previously found troublesome can now be killed with ease.
A target that would normally require ten parts of battle qi to kill with a punch can now be killed instantly with just three parts of battle qi plus one part of poison gas, forced into the target's vital points.
This also greatly reduces the consumption of sustained combat, especially against "tank" type Transcendent.
The continuous replenishment of battle qi from the [Thunder Totem] ensures that he will not run out of battle qi in a prolonged battle.
Relying on his superior strength, fighting spirit, martial arts, and blue buff, far exceeding that of Third Tier Extraordinary, Rein engaged in a brutal battle with the Knights of the Duke Valentine's Mansion.
The battle was raging in the banquet hall.
Not far away, however, there was a scene of leisure that seemed completely out of place in the tense atmosphere of battle.
In one corner of the banquet hall, there is a wine table displaying a dazzling array of fine wines.
The banquet hall was now in chaos, with guns firing wildly and bullets flying everywhere. When they hit the bottles on the wine cabinet, they shattered with a crackling sound, scattering wine and glass shards all over the place.
At that very moment, a stunningly beautiful woman in a long black dress sat calmly on a high stool. She elegantly crossed her legs, holding a wine glass that swayed slightly in her hand, occasionally taking a sip of the wine.
The bullets flew wildly through the air, but they seemed to have "eyes" and deliberately avoided her.
Even though the solid wood bar counter next to her was riddled with holes, she remained unharmed.
Occasionally, she would glance at the two sides locked in fierce combat with interest, revealing an approving expression that said, "The acting is passable."
Her composure made it seem as if she were watching a boisterous stage play from the audience.
The fierce battle on stage seemed to have nothing to do with her, and she was not affected in the slightest.
In stark contrast, the nobles hiding behind the wine table were pale with fright.
They were like frightened ostriches, hiding their heads in corners where bullets couldn't hit them, trembling with fear.
He glanced at her every now and then and saw the woman calmly drinking in front of him, and he was already so shocked that he couldn't speak.
They then realized that the seemingly frail and desperate president of the "Black Gold Merchant Guild," Canossa J. Claufer, might actually possess some kind of awe-inspiring Transcendent power hidden within her delicate body.
She just kept drinking and watching the show.
The reflection in her eyes was absolutely stunning.
