The impression Chen Mo left on him last time was simply too deep.

He was impervious to any attacks and was completely immune to them. After escaping back to the Poland Base, he racked his brains for a way to deal with Chen Mo. He then set up this trap in the cockpit of the Valkyrie Goddess, which was his last resort to deal with Chen Mo.

They had planned to lure Chen Mo into a trap if he actually managed to break in, but unexpectedly, Chen Mo walked right into the trap, making things go exceptionally smoothly, and they managed to lock him up without much effort.

The cage was made of thick, solid alloy steel plates, and the entire floor and ceiling were specially reinforced to withstand hundreds of tons of pressure without deforming. The steel pillars, as thick as an arm, kept him firmly inside. In Baron Strucker's eyes, Chen Mo was doomed.

Strucker felt immense pleasure as his longtime nemesis was about to die at his hands, watching with satisfaction as the top of the cage slowly pressed down on Chen Mo.

Chen Mo looked up at the top that was slowly pressing down, smiled disdainfully, and slowly drew the King's Sword from his back under Baron Strucker's mocking gaze.

Giving Strucker the same look, Chen Mo wielded his longsword and slashed horizontally at the two steel pillars in front of him, easily slicing them apart like tofu.

Baron Strucker stared in disbelief at Chen Mo emerging from the gap, a cold sweat breaking out on his back.

"You!..."

Chen Mo didn't say anything and slowly walked towards Strucker.

During the battle at the Krausburg base, Strucker dared not take Chen Mo's wide-open and powerful attacks head-on. Relying on his superb swordsmanship, he never directly clashed with the blade of the King's Sword. Chen Mo wanted to test his swordsmanship and consciously held back, so he was unaware of the King's Sword's indestructible and powerful characteristics.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with a trap that could be easily broken by the King's Sword to deal with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't say anything more, but instead raised his longsword and attacked Baron Strucker, wanting to see how much his swordsmanship had improved during this time.

Since his last battle with Strucker exposed his shortcomings in swordsmanship, Chen Mo has spent a lot of time and energy on improving his swordsmanship over the past few months.

Not only did Chen Mo seek advice from Huang Quan and the others, he also secretly collected the Holy Cross Swordsmanship, which originated from the Holy See during the medieval period in Europe, through HYDRA.

This swordsmanship originated from the Templar Knight of the Holy See and shone brightly during the Crusades. In this massive war that lasted for nearly two hundred years, tens of thousands of people died under the Holy Cross Swordsmanship.

This swordsmanship, born in war, is entirely designed for killing and is extremely lethal.

The swordsmanship is swift and fierce, directly attacking vital points. The moves are wide and powerful, and the swordsmanship is unparalleled. Moreover, it contains many exquisite combat techniques. It is a pure killing swordsmanship that has been continuously summarized and developed through hundreds and thousands of years of various religious wars and endless battles on the battlefield.

There are many exquisite moves and techniques in advancing, retreating, slashing, parrying, and counterattacking. The connection and transition between moves and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances are all things that Chen Mo lacks.

After all, he had not systematically studied swordsmanship before. He relied entirely on his extraordinary strength, speed, reaction, and the indestructible special attribute of the King's Sword to be invincible on the battlefield.

But no matter how developed his brain is or how strong his learning ability is, he cannot create a profound sword technique out of thin air. Many skills and experiences require time to hone and comprehend.

Although the swordsmanship he had developed through combat was much better than that of ordinary people, it was still insufficient in the face of Baron Strucker, who possessed profound swordsmanship. No matter how many months of exploration a genius had done, it could not compare with the accumulation of hundreds or thousands of years by countless predecessors.

After acquiring the Holy Cross Swordsmanship and conducting serious research, Chen Mo had to admit the prowess of the ancients. Whether it was fist techniques or swordsmanship, he had only scratched the surface of it all. Only by learning the valuable experience left by his predecessors and standing on the shoulders of giants could he better unleash his wisdom and strength.

In fact, he was very good at boxing. He learned a lot of advanced fighting techniques from Huang Quan and others, which he could never have imagined. These techniques contained the wisdom and insights of countless senior masters.

Based on this foundation, Chen Mo applied his skills according to his own circumstances, resulting in incredibly powerful fighting techniques. This also led to his later neglect of swordsmanship.

However, there is a big difference between hand-to-hand combat and using a longsword. Fortunately, he encountered the highly skilled Swordsmanship Master Baron Strucker and realized this in time. Otherwise, if he were to encounter a strong enemy in the future, this would become a huge weakness for him, and he might pay a heavy price for it.

Chen Mo and Baron Strucker quickly engaged in battle. Strucker clearly sensed a significant change in Chen Mo's swordsmanship; his sword strikes were noticeably more disciplined, swift, and precise, leaving almost no openings.

Unlike last time, when his swordsmanship was flexible and unpredictable, his attacks were not rigid or lacked variation. Instead, his moves were fluid and swift, making it difficult for the attackers to keep up. As the battle progressed, the attackers gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

This was still without Chen Mo using his full strength. Just like last time, he suppressed his strength to fight him at a level similar to Chen Mo's, which shows how much Chen Mo's swordsmanship has improved.

Having figured out his current swordsmanship skills and Baron Strucker's swordsmanship routines, Chen Mo lost interest in continuing the fight.

With a slash of both hands, Chen Mo aimed his sword at the end of the hilt of the Strucker as it thrust out, attempting to deflect the sword's attack. In an instant, Chen Mo changed the trajectory of the longsword, skillfully dodging the interception of the Strucker and slicing diagonally across Chen Mo's chest in his terrified gaze.

A splash of blood splattered out. Strucker looked down at his chest in disbelief, wanting to say something, but found that all the strength in his body was rapidly draining away with the sword. He glanced at Chen Mo one last time, then everything went black, and he fell straight backward to the ground.

Chen Mo's expression remained unchanged. He sheathed his sword and slowly walked to Baron Strucker's corpse.

This chess piece, which he chose himself, has perfectly completed its mission.

Picking up the rapier that had fallen to the ground, Chen Mo examined it closely. The slender blade and the complex and ornate hilt, judging from its luxurious and retro design and decorations, must have a long history.

Chen Mo removed the beautiful scabbard that Strucker had hidden at his waist, sheathed the sword, and then stored it in his spatial storage.

Although it did not come into contact with the blade of the King's Sword, given the King's Sword's hardness, it could withstand hundreds of blows without damage, making it a truly divine weapon.

Chen Mo unceremoniously turned the rapier, a family heirloom of the Baron Strucker family, into his own collection.

As for Baron Strucker's body, Chen Mo threw it directly out of the tail hatch of the plane, where it fell into the vast sea below.

At this moment, only Chen Mo remained on the enormous Valkyrie Goddess.
