"Um?"
Luo Ge looked around at everyone present.
His icy gaze swept over every face, and the overwhelming sense of oppression spread like a tide, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
The knights who arrived one after another were sweating profusely and glaring at each other, but when their eyes met, they were all exchanging the same thoughts.
He's all alone, while there are so many of us on this side. Even if everyone just spat at him, we could drown him, right?
Moreover, the Knights are still arriving in droves, and soon this place will be heavily surrounded, making escape impossible.
Could he possibly cause any trouble by himself?
That being said, because Luo Ge was still standing on the Seventh Prince Pax, the Knights, despite their large numbers and many skilled fighters, were still formidable.
There are even several Advanced Swordsman.
But they still dared not make any rash moves against Luo Ge.
The fear of harming others left everyone frozen in place; spears and swords were pointed at Luo Ge, but no one dared to make the first move.
The situation suddenly reached a stalemate.
Luo Ge stood in the center of the hall, watching the group of people who hesitated to make a move, his patience slowly wearing thin.
He glanced down at the trembling Pax at his feet, then looked up at the knights who were on high alert, and suddenly felt a little bored.
"Aren't you going to make a move?"
He tilted his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Well, sorry, I'm about to start eating."
The words had barely left his mouth.
To everyone's astonishment.
Luo Ge surprisingly released his foot from Pax's chest and strode towards the group of knights ahead.
He actually abandoned his only hostage!
????
Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
The knights looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
Taking the Seventh Prince hostage is clearly the wisest choice at the moment.
With Prince Pax in their grasp, no matter how many members of their knightly order were involved, they dared not act rashly.
But this boy seemed completely indifferent to the hostages?
"Young Master Luo Ge..."
Lilia suddenly covered her mouth, her voice filled with anxiety.
She simply couldn't understand why Luo Ge would do such a thing.
The safest thing to do was to capture Pax.
Regarding the current situation.
Lilia was filled with worry for Luo Ge. She felt guilty and frustrated. If it weren't for her, how could young master Luo Ge have ended up in such a dangerous situation?
She was just a maid.
What merit do I possess to have earned Young Master Luo Ge to go to such lengths?
For her sake, the young master was actually willing to confront a nation and be an enemy of the world.
"Young Master Luo Ge, he... he actually... mmm..."
Lilia's heart clenched.
As she watched Luo Ge walk away into the enemy ranks, her eyes began to sting again.
In contrast, Luo Ge's face was relaxed and at ease the entire time.
Surrounded by the crowd, he strolled leisurely, walking step by step toward Ginger.
The knights pointed their lances at him, but none of them dared to make the first move.
That composed gait inspired more fear than any fierce expression.
Ginger could no longer hold back.
"As a member of the Knights, I will not allow you to run rampant in the Shirone Kingdom!"
She remained completely focused, maintaining her signature hand-held sword stance as if facing a formidable enemy—a move characteristic of the Water God Style.
However, in the next instant, Luo Ge's figure appeared directly behind her as if he had vanished into thin air.
Everyone can see it clearly.
He simply took a step forward, his movement so slow and clear to onlookers that it was as if it were in slow motion, even the trajectory of his raised knife was crystal clear.
But when the knife came down in slow motion, Ginger realized that she couldn't dodge it at all.
"Bite--"
A crisp sound of metal snapping.
The knight's sword in Ginger's hand snapped in two with a snap, the broken half of the blade spinning as it flew out and stuck into a pillar.
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force slammed into her chest, her body arching like a bow, and Luo Ge stomped her to the ground.
He kicked her hard in the chest repeatedly.
He was finally kicked away, knocking over two knights behind him before barely coming to a stop.
"The intelligence is completely wrong!"
"I... I'm no match for you at all! Who... who are you?!"
The intelligence clearly indicated that Rudeus was merely a genius magician who could Voiceless Magic, but it didn't mention that he possessed such unparalleled swordsmanship.
Ginger was in excruciating pain, but she stared wide-eyed at Luo Ge, her heart filled with immense shock.
Sudden.
In an instant.
Ginger seemed to remember something; she recalled the maid named Lilia, whom she hadn't addressed as Rudeus before.
Instead...
right!
It seems he was being addressed as Luo Ge.
Luo Ge?
Ginger seemed to have heard that name somewhere before.
"Etc!"
"Could he be the Sword King, the Demon Sword King, who emerged from the Sword Sanctum?!"
Ginger's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
No wonder.
He went all out.
The opponent still only used one strike.
A single, effortless strike, without even a superfluous movement.
With her Intermediate Rank Water God Style swordsmanship, she couldn't even withstand a single strike from her opponent.
"So... it's the Sword King."
Ginger felt relieved, and then she fainted.
As Ginger's magic burned out, she collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
Everyone witnessed this scene, and the knights were all horrified.
Because they also heard Ginger's last words before she fainted: the other party was actually a Sword King.
There are only two Sword King in this world.
One is the Sword King Ghislaine, and the other is the Demon Sword King, who, in addition to the title of Demon Sword King, also holds the title of the Three Kings.
Even though the Shirone Kingdom was just a small country, everyone had heard of the Three Kings.
He successively studied under the Sword God, the Water God, and the North Emperor, and is a genius swordsman who has mastered all three schools of swordsmanship to the highest level.
The names of the Three Kings are widely known throughout the Central Continent.
"Idiot!"
What are you all standing there for?!
Pax scrambled to his feet, roaring at the top of his lungs, "Kill him! Kill him for me, the prince! Whoever kills him will be richly rewarded!"
" Sword King?"
"Hey, we're fighting the Sword King?"
"Never mind, let's all attack together. He's just one person, but there are so many of us."
"So what if the opponent is the Sword King!"
A single word awakened me from my dream.
The knights finally moved, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
Swish, swish, swish!!!
Spears rained down on Luo Ge like a forest, swords slashed down from all directions, and hundreds of people swarmed forward, like a net spread out to cover the boy in the center.
However.
Luo Ge didn't even stop walking.
He walked forward step by step through the dense crowd, each swing of his sword taking a life.
Swish!
A knight clutched his neck and collapsed.
Swish!
The spear snapped, and the man was thrown three zhang (approximately 10 meters) away.
Swish!
The man and his armor were cleaved away by a single sword strike.
He swung his sword not fast, in fact, very slowly, so slowly that anyone could see the trajectory of the blade.
But everyone who stands in his way finds themselves unable to dodge that seemingly slow sword strike, no matter what they do.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"It must be fake!"
"How could there be such a terrifying creature in the world!" Pax slumped to the spot, staring blankly at the scene.
They had initially thought these people would be their saviors, but instead of hope, they were met with even greater devastation.
Those knights he had placed so much hope in were harvested, chopped down, and crushed like straw before that boy, unable to offer even the slightest decent resistance.
At this moment, Pax was curled up in a ball, his body trembling violently, and even his crotch was warm.
It was so scared that it peed itself.
Pax tried desperately to pull himself back, but his legs were as weak as noodles, and he couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Is this the young master Luo Ge now? Wow, so amazing..."
Lilia stood behind, stunned as she watched Luo Ge display his might and move with unparalleled ease.
Was that the young master Luo Ge she knew?
Was that young master, who was intelligent, composed, and exceptionally talented in Buena Village, ultimately just a five-year-old child?
But the aura emanating from this young man was clearly on a different level.
Luo Ge's current strength has greatly shocked Lilia.
Unexpectedly... five years later, not only has Young Master Luo Ge grown up, but his strength has also grown to such an extent that he has actually become the Demon Sword King, whose name resounds throughout the world.
Under the overwhelming power of Luo Ge.
In less than a few minutes, the surrounding knights were routed by Luo Ge, their corpses lying scattered all over the ground, and blood trickling down the cracks in the floor tiles.
Luo Ge sheathed his sword, remaining elegant and composed after doing all this, without even a drop of blood staining his robes.
He turned and walked back to Lilia.
Lilia almost instinctively pulled out a handkerchief to wipe Luo Ge's face.
But when she got closer, she realized that Luo Ge was completely clean, without a single drop of blood or even a speck of dust.
He remained calm and composed, as if he had only done something trivial.
After nodding to Lilia.
Luo Ge then turned and approached the aloof and arrogant seventh prince.
How are you feeling now?
"Hmm? Your Highness, Seventh Prince?"
Luo Ge smirked as he looked down at Pax, who was now sprawled out like a rag doll.
The reason he didn't kill him was because he wanted to see the other man in such despair.
Simply because... I offended the gods.
In Luo Ge's mind, this was utter disrespect, an unforgivable sin deserving of punishment far more cruel than the death penalty.
Pax looked up.
Meeting Luo Ge's slightly narrowed eyes, he shuddered violently, knowing full well what tragic fate awaited him.
He had been pushed to the brink of collapse, and his psychological defenses had completely crumbled.
The torture of having his limbs repeatedly broken and then healed, only to have them broken again, the excruciating pain made him wish he were dead.
"Please... please..."
Pax's voice was hoarse and hoarse, his face a mixture of tears and snot, "Please kill me... give me a quick death..."
Luo Ge looked at his utterly devastated state, then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, not giving him another glance.
Lilia stood to the side, watching Luo Ge's angry expression.
Suddenly, it was as if something had occurred to me.
My heart skipped a beat.
Young Master Luo Ge...
Was she so angry because Pax imprisoned her?
So... so I actually hold such an important place in Young Master Luo Ge's heart?
Thinking of this, Lilia's eyes welled up with tears again.
Young Master Luo Ge's kindness was so great that she could never repay it in her lifetime.
She stared intently at Luo Ge's tall, imposing profile, Lilia silently clenched the handkerchief in her hand, making a silent vow in her heart.
"From this day forward, Aisha and my lives belong to Young Master Luo Ge."
