The night was like ink, with dark clouds and low pressure, and no stars or moon could be seen. Outside the imperial capital Red Flame City, there was a roar of people, and the lights were like Star River on the ground. Millions of people gathered outside the city, looking forward to the upcoming Saint Realm battle. A genius swordsman, Olivier, faced off against Rock Sword Saint Hederson.
Since the location of the battle was unknown, the crowd was initially scattered outside the four gates, noisy and chaotic. Until a majestic aura that was as steady as a mountain and as thick as a mountain rose into the sky from the direction of the Red Flame River in the north of the city, like a beacon in the darkness, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"In Hedereson-sama is in the Red Flame River!"
The news spread quickly like a prairie fire, and a huge crowd began to surge toward the north of the city. The sounds of footsteps, shouts, and horse hooves mixed together, shaking the earth.
Red Flame River Both sides of the strait were quickly filled with surging crowds. The imperial army had already received the order and worked hard to maintain order, leaving the best viewing positions to the nobles who came. Linley, Wharton, Barker The five brothers and others were led to the front row seats near the river bank along with the noble procession. His Majesty Joanne, the emperor of the O'Brien Empire, even specially called Linley to sit next to him. This closeness and respect came from Linley The identity of Dragonblood Warrior also means that he can get closer to the person behind Linley, Earth Walker Lin Qin.
Lin Qin appeared alone and silently at the top of the shadow of a big tree not far from the river bank. His breath was completely restrained, as if he had merged with the night. His eyes calmly turned to the figure standing like a rock in the night sky - Hedereson.
The night wind carries the moisture from the river, blowing the expectations of millions of people.
Time passed little by little, and Olivier still didn't show up. The crowd began to become a little restless, and the low-pitched discussions rose and fell like the tide.
suddenly -
In the eastern sky, a stream of light breaks through the night and arrives in an instant!
Hunting in black robe, carrying the iconic Light Shadow Sword and Black Stone Sword on his back, the figure of Olivier is like a falcon in the dark night, hovering over Red Flame River, facing Hedereson from a distance.
"Olivier!"
"Genius Sword Master!"
Cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami broke out instantly, and the voices of millions of people gathered together, as if they were going to shake away the dark clouds in the sky!
Olivier's face was stern, his eyes were like lightning, and he looked directly at Hedereson. His voice clearly overcame the noise below. "Hedereson, I will not hold back in this battle."
Hedereson's expression is still indifferent, as if what he is facing is not a life and death battle, but an ordinary discussion:
7y
Just give it a go."
The moment the voice fell, Olivier moved! The Black Stone Sword behind him suddenly came out of its sheath. The sword was pitch black, as if it could absorb all light, with an icy chill that pierced the soul. The human sword merged into one, turning into a black lightning, shooting directly at Hedereson!
Soul attack!
Lin Qin's eyes moved slightly, and he could feel the strange fluctuations in the sword aimed at the soul.
Facing this swift and strange sword, Hedereson still didn't draw his sword. He simply raised his right hand, made a fist, and blasted it straight at the black lightning! The fist was glowing with earthy yellow light, thick and simple, but with the will to crush everything.
"Bang!"
The fists and swords intersected, making a dull loud noise. The black sword light collided fiercely with the earthy fist light, and the energy shock wave spread out. A huge pit was pressed out of the Red Flame River surface below, and the river water was discharged in all directions.
The stalemate lasted only a moment.
"Crack!"
There was a heart-wrenching sound of bone cracking.
Olivier groaned, and the right arm holding the sword showed a strange bend. Black Stone Sword almost let go. His whole body seemed to be thrown by a trebuchet, and crashed into the Red Flame River below, causing a huge splash.
One blow! Just one blow, Olivier's right arm was broken, and the defeat was obvious!
Huge exclamations erupted from the shore. No one expected that Olivier would suffer such heavy losses just after the battle began.
However, Olivier, who fell into the river, did not remain silent. In just a moment, a white light rose into the sky from the river, and he was suspended in the air again. His right arm had returned to its original state, but his face was slightly pale. Laws of Light's healing ability is indeed extraordinary.
His eyes became even colder, and he held Light Shadow Sword and Black Stone Sword in his left and right hands at the same time. Light and darkness, two completely opposite auras began to intertwine and rise in his body.
At this moment, the long-simmering rainstorm finally poured down! Big raindrops fell intensively, and countless ripples appeared on the river. The people watching the battle were immediately drenched, but no one left. Everyone raised their heads with difficulty, their eyes penetrated the rain curtain, and stared at the two figures in the sky.
"Kill!"
Olivier roared, and both swords came out! Light Shadow Sword bloomed with bright and holy white light, like the dawn; Black Stone Sword swallowed the dark black light that swallowed the light, like the abyss descending. Under his exquisite control, the power of the two laws of light and darkness is not simply superimposed, but forms a strange alternation and resonance. The offensive is like a violent storm, covering Hedereson.
Facing this powerful double-system attack, the indifference on Hedereson's face finally calmed down a bit. He pulled out the long sword on his back for the first time - an earthy yellow Heavy Sword that looked equally plain.
"Dang!" "Dang!" "Dang!"--
The dense symphony of gold and iron exploded in the heavy rain, like countless thunders exploding at the same time. Two figures collided, separated, and collided again at high speed in the night sky. The sword light crisscrossed and the law fluctuated wildly, smashing the falling raindrops into pieces, forming a vacuum zone.
Olivier's attacks became more and more fierce. Every swing of Light Shadow Sword and Black Stone Sword not only contained a powerful physical attack, but also contained an impact on the soul. Especially Black Stone Sword, that cold soul attack was like a poisonous snake, constantly trying to penetrate into Hedereson's sea of consciousness.
At first, there seemed to be a slight stagnation in Hedereson's movements, and it was obvious that the soul attack was not completely ineffective. But soon, his eyes returned to clarity, and he became more calm in blocking with his sword. The heavy power of Laws of the Earth was like the strongest shield, catching Olivier's fierce offensive one by one.
"Your mental strength is not enough to really shake me." Hedereson's voice came out clearly amid the rain and the sound of collisions, with absolute confidence.
Olivier's face was ashen and his attack became more urgent.
"It's over." Hedereson suddenly shouted in a deep voice. He held the khaki Heavy Sword with both hands, and his whole body seemed to be connected with the earth under his feet, and a thick aura that was several times stronger than before burst out!
"Earth Split!"
Heavy Sword's swing was not a fancy move, it was just a simple vertical chop. But this chop aroused the gravity of the entire surrounding space, as if there was an invisible mountain pressing down with the sword! Wherever the sword passed, the space was slightly distorted, and the rainwater was instantly drained, forming a vacuum channel, pointing directly at Olivier!
Olivier's pupils shrank suddenly, feeling the fatal threat. He roared wildly, pouring all his power and all his understanding of the law into the two swords. The two completely different powers of light and darkness were forcibly compressed by him,
Intertwined at the tip of the sword, the two swords merged into one, piercing a spiral sword light that was half white and half black, intertwined with each other but faintly repulsive!
This is his ultimate trick, an attempt to fuse light and darkness!
"Boom-!!!"
Two terrifying energies collided fiercely in mid-air! The dazzling light instantly illuminated the night sky, as if day had fallen! A huge explosion swept across, and many weaker people on the shore were shocked to the point where their ears and noses bleed, and they fainted.
The light dissipated.
Hedereson is still suspended in place, but a wisp of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. The hand holding the sword trembled slightly. He had obviously suffered some internal injuries, but his breath was still strong.
Olivier, on the other hand, was like a kite with its string broken, falling powerlessly from the sky and smashing into the Red Flame River again. This time, a dazzling blood red color quickly appeared on the river surface, and he was unable to fly again immediately.
"Brother!" Blumer on the shore shouted shrilly and jumped into the cold river water desperately.
Hedereson slowly landed on the river, looking at the blood surging below, and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He won. Although he was slightly injured, there was no doubt that he won. Rock Sword Saint's undefeated myth continues.
There was a brief dead silence on the shore, and then more enthusiastic cheers broke out, most of them shouting the name Hedereson.
Lin Qin stood on the top of the tree with calm eyes. Hedereson's strength is indeed solid. Laws of the Earth's mysterious use of "power" has reached a very high level, and his defense is even more amazing. Olivier's light and Laws of Darkness Although is weird and his soul attack is quite threatening, as Hedereson said, his mental strength is not strong enough to cross the gap between realms and cause a real fatal injury. The last blow to force the fusion was a bold idea, but it was obviously not completely successful, and instead suffered a backlash.
At this time, Hedereson's eyes suddenly passed over the cheering crowd and landed accurately on the noble viewing area, landing on Linley.
The entire riverbank gradually became quiet following his gaze.
"Linley." Hedereson's voice spread throughout the world, "You and I both understand Laws of the Earth. Three months later, at the top of Tu Jiao Mountain, how about a battle between you and me? This battle is only to confirm what we have learned and to seek opportunities for breakthroughs."
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Linley.
Joanne His Majesty frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but remained silent in the end.
Linley met Hedereson's eyes and stood up slowly. He could feel the pure fighting spirit in the other party's eyes, which was the recognition and expectation of a strong man for an opponent worthy of a fight. This battle has nothing to do with grudges, only for the road.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and responded loudly, the voice clearly reaching everyone's ears. "I don't dare to ask for my ear. In three months, Tu Jiao Mountain, I will definitely attend the appointment on time!"
"Okay!" A smile appeared on Hedereson's face, he said no more, and with a movement of his body, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the northern sky.
In the river, Blumer held the unconscious and weak-breathing Olivier, and climbed up to the shore with difficulty.
Olivier The injuries on the surface of his body are slowly healing under the treatment of light magic, but his face is as pale as paper, and the heavy damage to his soul is obviously not easy to recover from.
A much-anticipated battle between the Saint Realm has come to an end, but a new storm is already brewing in Tu Jiao Mountain three months later. Earth Walker Lin Qin's younger brother, Dragonblood Warrior Linley is about to challenge the undefeated Rock Sword Saint! This news swept the entire imperial capital faster than the crowds of spectators receded, and spread to more distant places.
