The middle-aged guard's fingers trembled slightly, and a short, obscure incantation flew from his lips. A dazzling red light erupted from his body, and the entire King altar suddenly became unbearably hot. Then, a sword of blazing flames suddenly appeared in the guard's hand, striking towards Sun Fei with lightning speed...
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The crowd below the stands hadn't even had time to react, or even utter a cry of surprise.
The middle-aged attendant stood behind Sun Fei, launching a sudden One Sword attack. Sun Fei couldn't even notice it at first. The flaming sword, carrying a scorching aura, drew a strange arc in the air, its tip like a kiss of death, about to pierce Sun Fei's back and penetrate his heart...
but--
Just then, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, Sun Fei's body inexplicably veered to the right. It seemed like an unconscious movement, but it dodged the middle-aged attendant's deadly sword One Sword, which pierced through the air.
Only then did the envoys from various countries below the King's altar realize what had happened. Shock was clearly written on their faces, and exclamations of surprise rang out uncontrollably from their mouths.
The guards, including Drogba, standing around the King's altar reacted faster. They shouted "Protect the King!" and drew their longswords, ready to rush forward... But after taking five or six steps, the guards stopped in slight confusion, because they saw their king wave his hand, signaling not to come up.
Sun Fei's right hand had already gently grasped the flaming sword.
" Four-Star Class fire mage? Who are you? Why are you trying to kill me?"
Sun Fei Summon the Barbarian character's gloves—a pair of bright silver magic gloves with 21 defense and 25% immunity to fire and lightning magic. They barely withstood the flaming sword, composed entirely of fire elemental energy. Feeling the intense heat emanating from the sword, Sun Fei was certain the man before him possessed the magic power of Four-Star Class Initial Stage... But the problem was, he didn't seem to recognize this guy. Why was he trying to assassinate him? Could it be... someone's doing this on his behalf?
Having missed his target, the middle-aged attendant abandoned his flaming sword and retreated rapidly.
"How did you find out?" The middle-aged attendant Earth Inquiry surprise, having maintained a relatively safe distance for a mage.
He simply couldn't understand how Sun Fei had discovered and evaded his divinely unpredictable attack. To prepare for this attack, he had not only practiced countless times beforehand and meditated continuously for ten days and ten nights to accumulate magical power, but he had also spared no expense in using a large number of precious magical items to shorten the time required to chant the spell and increase the surprise of the attack... But who knew that what he thought was foolproof would fail him? There was only one possibility for this situation—that Sun Fei knew in advance that he was going to make a move.
The middle-aged attendant wore a look of disbelief, but he wasn't in a hurry to run away.
He didn't seem to care about being surrounded by so many people, as if he had some backup plan and was even considering whether he could strike again.
Of course, he was still waiting for Sun Fei's reply.
However, at this very moment, an unexpected change occurred once again.
Suddenly, a blood-stained sword tip emerged from the middle-aged attendant's left shoulder.
Drip, drip, drops of blood fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man looked at it in disbelief, then understood what was happening. He let out a low, angry growl, and with a backhand swing, several flaming whips appeared out of thin air. They lashed out behind him with scorching heat, striking the man who was gripping the sword hilt tightly. With a muffled groan and splattering blood, the warden Oleg coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward.
The one who just attacked the middle-aged man with his sword was none other than this fat man who initially seemed stunned with fear.
"It's you?"
The middle-aged man questioned incredulously. This time, Sun Fei didn't need to answer. He finally understood in an instant why Sun Fei had been able to avoid his sudden, silent attack with the Flaming Sword. Clearly, it was this seemingly cowardly fat man who had deceived him and, through some unknown means, had secretly warned Sun Fei in advance.
"Of course it's me! Who do you think you are, to expect me to work for you!"
Oleg lay supine on the altar, coughing up blood, but his face was filled with a smug expression. He laughed as he looked at the middle-aged man, his mockery undisguised. "Heh heh... didn't expect that? I... cough cough, I'm no longer the cowardly Oleg I used to be... cough cough, Lord Bazel... cough cough, you were wrong from the start to use the old methods against me... cough cough cough, for His Alexander, I would rather die than betray him!"
Oleg was already severely injured, coughing up blood every time he spoke. Fortunately, his body had been tempered and modified by the [ Hulk Potion ], making his physical strength far exceed that of an ordinary One-Star Warrior. Therefore, he was able to survive the full-force attack from the middle-aged Four-Star Class mage. However, the content of his words surprised many people present.
This Four-Star Class middle-aged mage was actually Bazel.
The former messenger of Chambord City was Bazel, a notorious traitor wanted nationwide.
Sun Fei frowned slightly.
He had only noticed the warden Oleg's signal before, realizing that this middle-aged attendant wasn't one of their own and was suspicious. However, he never expected that this person would actually be the long-lost Bazel. This former messenger had obviously used some tricks to temporarily change his appearance, but upon closer inspection, one could see that his figure and temperament hadn't changed much. However, no one expected that this fellow would actually become a fire mage with Four-Star Class strength.
This series of unexpected changes caused an uproar across the entire platform.
At this moment, the first rays of dawn had already pierced through the sea of clouds and shone upon the summit of East Mountain. The best opportunity for Sun Fei to be crowned as the official King of Chambord City had already passed. Below the King altar, envoys and Prince from various countries stared at the altar in astonishment. On the altar, Princess Tanasha of the Zenit Empire placed the pure gold King crown she held back into the silver tray of the attendant behind her, and stepped back slightly with interest, watching the unfolding events as if she were watching a play.
Sun Fei stared coldly at Chuan Linguan Bazel, his aura constantly rising and escalating.
Now that this guy has shown up, we must seize this opportunity to kill him. Otherwise, a Four-Star Class mage who is determined to oppose us will be impossible to defend against in Chambord City, and it will definitely be a disaster.
Meanwhile, clutching the wound on his shoulder, Bazel's mind raced.
Sensing the increasingly powerful aura emanating from Sun Fei, he knew he absolutely couldn't kill this damned King today. A wave of resentment washed over him. He hadn't expected that despite his sudden breakthrough to Four-Star Class and so much painstaking planning, he still wouldn't have achieved his goal. It seemed his plans would have to be postponed...
"I didn't expect you to be getting better and better at being a dog." Bazel glared fiercely at the heavily wounded warden Oleg lying on the ground. Finally, he made up his mind, and a series of rapid gray incantations burst from his mouth. His aura grew increasingly intense, as if he were bathed in a giant flame. Suddenly, he roared at Sun Fei, "I'll fight you to the death..."
Then, engulfed in flames and with magic burning wildly, he charged out.
A small Sun seemed to rise above the King's altar, blazing and dazzling.
Everyone thought that Bazel was desperate and was burning his own magic to take Sun Fei down with him, even Sun Fei himself thought so, so he focused his mind and prepared to meet the attack head-on... But, who knew that after sprinting a few steps, three or four roaring fire elemental beasts suddenly roared out from Bazel's body, and these fire elemental beasts swept away not in the direction of Sun Fei...
Instead... it's... Princess Tanasha of the Zenit Empire!
"Hahaha, Alexander, I'll kill this woman and see how you explain yourself to the Zenit Empire... I'll make the entire Chambord City pay for your death, hahaha!"
Bazel laughed maniacally.
How dare he attack the imperial princess?
Everyone was stunned.
This was a full-force attack from a Four-Star Class mage who had burned his own magic power. It was definitely not something that Susan, the Three-Star Class Initial Stage female warrior in front of Princess Tanasha, could withstand. Four or five fire elemental beasts, carrying Armageddon flames, swept towards the princess and easily devoured the blue Dou Qi flames that the female warrior Susan had desperately unleashed.
Sun Fei was suddenly startled.
Almost instinctively, he immediately used the Barbarian skill [ Leap ], leaving a trail of afterimages as he sped towards the princess... Sun Fei had to save her, otherwise, if this princess really died on the summit of East Mountain in Chambord City, the Zenit Empire would be enraged, and Chambord City would be finished.
At the same time, Bazel chanted the incantation again.
Two fiery wings appeared behind him, and he flew like a meteor towards the outside of the altar, instantly passing over the heads of the envoys from various countries and heading towards the cliff with the Sky-Hanging Chain. Although he had been ambushed and seriously injured by Oleg, and his magic power was almost exhausted after unleashing two powerful attacks, with the help of the Sky-Hanging Chain on the cliff, he still had enough strength to escape from the top of East Mountain in the chaos, lie low, and wait for an opportunity to cause trouble for Sun Fei again.
With the cliff right in front of him, a victorious smile spread across Bazel's face.
" Alexander, you wait, I'll be back, and I'll make sure you can't eat or sleep again, hahahaha!"
He leaped off the cliff.
but--
"You pathetic, insignificant creature, how dare you lay a hand on Her Highness the Princess!"
In the critical moment, with a clear and melodious shout, a ball of purple flame suddenly appeared in front of the princess. A graceful and slender young woman appeared within this bewitching purple flame. Her fair and beautiful face remained calm and composed. She simply raised her delicate hand and casually pointed at the air, as if it were a playful exchange between lovers. However, the fire beasts that were sweeping towards them did not even struggle before disappearing into the air.
Unbelievable!
The full-force attack of a four-star mage was effortlessly neutralized.
The next second.
A purple figure flashed, and in the next instant, the purple-clad girl appeared a hundred meters away, above Bazel, who was jumping off the cliff...
"Anyone who dares to lay a hand on the princess will not leave alive!"
The girl in purple casually slashed down in mid-air with the oddly shaped short sword in her hand, which never had a sheath. An invisible sword aura swept across the sky, and Bazel screamed in agony as blood spurted from his back, revealing a shocking wound...
That's not all.
Just then, a sharp arrow flashing with blue light came from behind and struck Bazel accurately in the back. Instantly, a chill enveloped Bazel's body. With a scream, Bazel's body stiffened and fell vertically down the cliff, quickly disappearing into the vast sea of clouds!
This arrow was an ice magic arrow fired by Sun Fei, who had switched to [ Amazon Warrior Mode ] in the distance, and its destructive power was extremely impressive.
At such a high cliff, and with such severe injuries, Bazel was absolutely doomed.
Sun Fei let out a soft sigh of relief.
Everything seems to be in the past.
But in the next instant, a sudden warning pounded in his chest, and then, the most unbelievable thing happened—
A dazzling, Sharp Sword descended from the sky, aiming straight for Princess Tanasha's head.
Two unstoppable, cold blades of light appeared out of thin air, rushing towards Princess Tanasha's waist and ribs from the left and right, each carrying an aura of death.
Three massive white-feathered arrows, imbued with a sharp, metallic aura, suddenly shot out from the crowd beneath the King's altar, forming a triangular pattern as they hurtled toward Princess Tanasha's forehead, throat, and heart.
A pair of white, steel claws, tearing through the air with a piercing whistle, appeared unexpectedly behind Princess Tanasha. The claw tips glowed with a poisonous blue light, aiming for the princess's vital heart.
A burst of orange-yellow Dou Qi aura flashed, and suddenly the upper body of a majestic and powerful figure emerged from the Rock of the King's altar beneath the princess's feet. The figure gripped an incomparably sharp horse-slaying saber tightly in both hands, creating a Whirlwind as it skimmed along the ground, and mercilessly attacked the princess's legs.
The ruthless attack occurred simultaneously, targeting the princess's frail body.
Any one of these methods would be enough to turn this princess, who had no martial arts skills whatsoever, into a wronged soul.
Clearly, this was a meticulously planned assassination.
A dead end!
Second update.
It's still a bit late, please forgive me.
