Upon seeing the golden-haired young knight appear in the distance, the black-robed supervisor Redknapp revealed a hint of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes, exclaiming in astonishment, "It's actually him... How unexpected!"
"You know him? Who is he?" Sun Fei asked with a smile.
" Chris Sutton, ranked tenth among the Ten Judgment Knight of the Imperial Knights' Hall, who calls himself the Sun Golden Knight, is a genius young knight of the Zenit Empire. At only sixteen years old, while his peers were still dreaming of becoming knights' lads, Sutton was personally selected by Emperor Yassin as one of the Ten Judgment Knight of the Knights' Hall due to his outstanding martial arts talent. He is the future star of the empire's military, and many nobles and families in the imperial capital, Saint Petersburg, believe that he is a super genius who can become the future Martial Saint saint of the empire... In short, he is a very difficult character to deal with..."
When Redknapp introduced the young golden knight in the distance, he used a series of dazzling titles and embellishments, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity. Clearly, this young knight had a terrifying reputation within the empire. However, at the end, the black-robed official smiled, then suddenly added with a strange expression, "However, this self-proclaimed Sun Golden Knight has a rather bad temper. He's notoriously arrogant, stubborn, and ruthless, absolutely intolerant of anyone disobeying his will. He's also extremely proud. I suspect those assassins and attackers along the way weren't sent by him, because someone as proud as him would never stoop to such underhanded tactics. However, judging from his current appearance, he seems to have come specifically for His Majesty. When you meet him later, Your Majesty must be careful!"
"All those precocious brats who become famous at a young age are this kind of arrogant and ignorant fool. Hehe, may the gods protect him and keep him from messing with me!" Sun Fei's lips curled into a playful smile.
The Barbarian's combat instincts were incredibly sharp. Sun Fei had already sensed the undisguised hostility emanating from the Golden Sun Knight. This hostility puzzled Sun Fei, as the two had never even met before and there was no way they could have formed an enmity. He couldn't understand where this young genius's hostility came from. This made Sun Fei feel slightly annoyed, but even more so, furious. He thought to himself, "A good dog doesn't block the way. If you don't know what's good for you, I don't care about geniuses or Sun Knights. I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you."
As the distance between the two sides continued to shrink, many people gradually sensed the subtle shift in the atmosphere.
Both sides felt threatened by the other.
The big black dog [Black Whirlwind] had a fierce light in his eyes, and he kept making terrible low roars from his throat; Fernando Torres, the personal guard, quietly pulled out three long arrows from the quiver with his left hand; the knife marks on Warden Oleg's face were ferocious, and his fists were clenched and covered with a layer of paint at some point. Black gloves covered with barbs were strange armor, and Peter Cech had already begun to organize the twenty-five Saints into an awl assault formation. A faint magic wave spread out from the four hooves of the red flame beasts under their crotches, and actually produced clusters of faintly flashing light red flames...
The Golden Knight beneath the Twin Tower Peaks across the way sensed something as well. A disdainful smile spread across their proud faces—a mockery of the lowly by the noble. Then, with a whoosh, they ripped off their helmets and raised their Long Spear in unison, the tips angled at forty-five degrees. Faint, silvery-gold Dou Qi emanated from their bodies, enveloping their lances and their warhorses. Man and horse seemed to merge into one, making their golden armor even more dazzling and unbearable to behold. From afar, they resembled a golden torrent. At the command of the young knight at the forefront, as striking as the Sun, they would spur their horses on, tearing their enemies to shreds without mercy.
In this tense and heart-pounding atmosphere, the two slowly approached each other, their eyes revealing an unyielding sharpness, and the distance between them was only twenty meters.
Sun Fei waved his hand, and the expeditionary force and the caravan stopped.
After a brief silence--
"You are King of Chambord Alexander, who disregards imperial laws, wantonly conquers and slaughters vassal states, and is utterly audacious?"
The golden-armored youth spoke first.
He patted the strange, wolf-like beast beneath him—a creature with a single horn on its head, covered in long yellow fur and bound by chains—and strode forward step by step. His tone was so condescending, every word filled with accusation and interrogation, brooking no dissent, as if he were a god who controlled all living beings and was judging the sinners of the world.
"There might be some misunderstanding, Lord Chris..."
Redknapp, the black-robed supervisor, sensed a misunderstanding in Sutton's words and quickly gave Sun Fei Sun Fei a wink, signaling him not to act impulsively. He then rode forward, smiling, and said loudly, "My lord, His Majesty King of Chambord was attacked and persecuted, and merely fought back..." He then recounted everything he knew along the way, especially the Chambord Expeditionary Army's capture of Blackstone Fortress, cleverly emphasizing King of Black Rock's massacre of Chambord miners. He concluded, "Both sides are at fault, but King of Black Rock was definitely at fault for enslaving Chambord's people and carrying out the massacre. Lord Chris should investigate this thoroughly."
"Oh, it's Manager Redknapp. Long time no see..." The young Golden Knight nodded. The Soros Chamber of Commerce was one of the super powers on the continent, and as one of the guild's powerful managers in the Zenit Empire, Harry Redknapp could be considered a prominent figure in Saint Petersburg's upper class. Although Chris Sutton was arrogant, he still maintained a certain level of politeness. However, he then frowned and said, "But I'm curious, why does Manager Harry, with his noble status, insist on defending and exonerating a group of uncivilized Barbarian and a country bumpkin idiot King?"
Sutton made no attempt to conceal his voice as he spoke. Despite the wind, the words "country bumpkin," "savage," and "idiot King " clearly reached the ears of Sun Fei and the others nearby. The expeditionary force was immediately stirred with excitement, especially Torres, Oleg, and Čech, whose bodies began to gleam with Dou Qi spirit...
Sun Fei waved his hand gently, and the noise stopped instantly.
He sneered, remaining silent as if watching a show.
"Lord Chris, King of Black Rock was indeed at fault in this matter..." Redknapp wanted to speak up for Sun Fei.
"Enough, Manager Harry. I think I should remind you of your status. According to the ancient traditions of the continent, when subordinate vassal states wantonly attack each other and disregard imperial law, regardless of who is right or wrong, it should be decided by the Imperial Knights' Hall's Judgment Knight, not by your Soros Chamber of Commerce."
Chris Sutton impatiently interrupted Redknapp, glancing contemptuously at the group in Chambord, and said indifferently, "Even if everything you say is true, so what? Once I arrest these unruly, lowly country bumpkins and send them to the Knights' Hall' Prison, people will naturally come to prove their innocence."
"Imprisoned in the Knights' Hall Prison?" Redknapp exclaimed in shock. "How can this be? King of Chambord is a pure royal bloodline bestowed by Emperor Yassin..." The Knights' Hall Prison houses only traitors and those convicted of unforgivable crimes. Since the founding of the Zenit Empire, no one thrown into the Knights' Hall Prison has ever come out alive. Judging from Chris Sutton's words, he intends to ensure King of Chambord and his entourage can never recover. Why would he do such a thing?
"Hahaha, what a joke! What a joke!! Pure royal blood?" The young Golden Knight's expression was as if he had truly heard the biggest joke in the world. He sneered and pointed his Golden Knight's lance at Sun Fei's forehead, saying disdainfully, "How can a bunch of uncivilized Barbarian and a lowly country bumpkin King be worthy of the honor of the King? A bunch of despicable thieves who stole the honor, they are absolutely a stain on the bloodline of the Empire. Let me personally wipe this disgusting stain off the Imperial honor!"
The golden-armored youth ignored Redknapp, urging his strange magical beast to stop when he was less than twenty meters away from Sun Fei and the others. He raised his chin, giving them a disdainful look, and commanded in an unquestionable tone, "I'm giving you one last chance. Discard your weapons, hand over your mounts and Crimson Flame Beast, dismount and surrender, and I'll spare your lives for now... Just a heads-up, hurry up, my patience isn't much."
"Idiot!" Sun Fei curled his lip.
"What did you say?"
Chris Sutton was stunned, seemingly unsure of what he had just heard—someone actually dared to speak to him?
However, when he saw the undisguised mockery on the lips of the King of Chambord opposite him, he was instantly enraged. His golden hair flew wildly in the wind like a waterfall, his murderous aura surged, and his staring eyes blazed with fury as he stared at Sun Fei and said, word by word, "Dare to say it again?"
"Idiot idiot idiot idiot idiot..." Sun Fei rolled his eyes, his roguish charm returning. "You really think you're so great? What's wrong with me saying a hundred more?"
"You... fine! You really are a bunch of lowly Barbarian, you're truly courting death! We'll kill you first!"
The golden-armored youth was filled with rage, and his Golden Knight's lance twitched slightly.
A loud clang rang out!
A streak of silvery-golden energy pierced through the void and shot out from the golden spear.
The Sharp Metal Dou Qi condensed and manifested in the air into a ten-meter-long, razor-sharp silver Long Spear. Wherever it passed, it carved a ravine half a meter deep into the ground, shattered rocks, and shook the earth. The silver light, carrying unparalleled momentum, slashed towards Sun Fei head-on like lightning.
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
In fact Chris Sutton's display of power was so subtle that everyone around him changed color. Even the slightest breeze from the Long Spear formed by his silver Dou Qi felt as if it were real, like countless sharp blades cutting into their skin, causing a dull pain. Those with lower strength were forced back, and blood appeared on their bodies.
Only a Dou Qi master of Five-Star Class or above could command such a force.
Everyone felt that the enormous silver knight's lance formed from condensed Dou Qi was the only thing that existed under heaven and earth, and a sense of insurmountable despair arose in everyone's heart.
The Ten Great Judgment Knight of the Imperial Knights' Hall truly lived up to their reputation.
Sun Fei was the first to feel the immense threat, but he simply sat upright on the back of the Big Black, waiting until the silver Dou Qi Long Spear was only twenty or thirty centimeters in front of him before suddenly throwing a punch outwards.
This punch was light and lacked any power.
But a strange thing happened: the ten-meter-long silver Long Spear that was thrusting towards them stopped abruptly ten centimeters away from the fist, as if it had encountered an insurmountable resistance. After a slight pause, it could no longer thrust forward even an inch.
Immediately afterwards, a loud bang was heard.
The silver Dou Qi spear seemed unable to withstand the immense force of the collision, and countless cracks suddenly appeared. After holding on for a moment, it shattered instantly. The huge and powerful silver -Sharp Metal Dou Qi exploded out of control, and the scattered battle Dou Qi fragments shot out like countless sharp blades, affecting the surrounding rocks and giant trees. Everything in its path crumbled and shattered, and a layer of dust was also removed from the ground, creating a terrifying spectacle.
What's even stranger is that no matter how turbulent the aftershocks of the shattered Sharp Metal Dou Qi Long Spear were, the people behind Sun Fei seemed to be completely protected by an invisible, intangible aura shield, without the slightest movement. Sun Fei sat upright on the back of the [ Black Whirlwind ], his whole body spotless, his clothes still, and not even a single strand of hair fluttering.
A moment later, the smoke and dust dissipated.
"Huh? Alright, you're qualified to be my opponent now..." Seeing the scene before him, the young Golden Knight paused slightly, seemingly quite surprised. However, the next moment, his condescending attitude returned. "I was born into the noble Chris Family. At two, I wielded a knight's lance; at three, I condensed Star Vortex and developed a sense of energy; at six, I became a knight's page; at ten, I was promoted to squire; at fourteen, I slew generals and captured flags; at fifteen, I joined the Knights' Hall's Judgment Knights; at sixteen, I was promoted to one of the Knights' Hall's Ten Judgment Knight, a future Martial Saint candidate for the Empire. Being able to withstand one of my spears is already something to be proud of. However, this doesn't mean I'll tolerate a barbaric madman like you defiling the Glory of the Imperial Family! You must still wash away your sins with your death!"
The golden-armored youth approached step by step, his face filled with absolute pride and self-satisfaction. He seemed to be talking to himself, proclaiming his glorious growth experience and gradually undermining Sun Fei's confidence.
"Damn, you want to compare your background with mine?" Sun Fei laughed disdainfully. "I was born prematurely via C-section at a community hospital, started kindergarten at three, moved up to elementary school at six, entered junior high at twelve, high school at fifteen, and university at eighteen. I was a model student every year, an outstanding class leader, never repeated a grade in nineteen years, never scored below ninety on exams, and was praised by teachers at every parent-teacher conference. Even without believing in Brother Chun, I only failed eleven subjects in university..." Sun Fei rattled off a long list, his expression even more proud and noble than the golden-armored youth. "Can you even compare to that?"
Although he had no idea what the other person was talking about, and the other person sounded very impressive, the golden-armored young knight was still enraged by the disdain on Sun Fei's face.
"Fine, today I'll give you a chance for a fair fight, to let you lowly Barbarian understand that the struggle for the imperial throne is not something you Barbarian can interfere with. I could crush you with just one little finger."
The golden-armored young knight transformed into a streak of silver flame, soaring into the sky. In a few flashes, he stood proudly atop the south peak of Twin Tower Peaks, unmoved by the wind, like a God of War looking down upon the world.
"Hahaha, alright, I'll see how you try to press me with just a little finger!"
Sun Fei's fighting spirit surged instantly, his entire body burning with an uncontrollable intensity. Since he transmigrated to the Azeroth Continent and became the King of Chambord, this arrogant young knight in golden armor was the fourth strongest opponent he had ever encountered, after [ One Sword ], the white-haired old man, and [ Zenit God of War ] Arshavin. Compared to his previous weak opponents, such a formidable adversary ignited the fighting spirit hidden within Sun Fei's blood. With a loud laugh, although no Dou Qi aura emanated from his body, Sun Fei still managed to pierce through the sky in a few flashes, instantly reaching the north peak of Twin Tower Peaks.
At the Twin Tower Peaks, two powerful peaks stand tall.
At the summit of South Tower Peak, the golden-armored genius youth Golden Knight, unleashed his full power without reservation.
A dazzling Sharp Metal Dou Qi enveloped his slender body, constantly expanding and strengthening as if it were endless. The Dou Qi seemed ethereal, like a thin veil, yet it emitted bursts of metallic clanging, as if thousands of swords were clashing simultaneously. Birds flew past him, then suddenly let out a mournful cry and exploded into a bloody mist, having been shattered by the Sharp Metal Dou Qi that permeated the summit of South Tower Peak.
At the summit of North Tower Peak, Sun Fei gave a soft shout.
In an instant, multicolored flames surged from his body. With a series of surging magical fluctuations, an incredible set of strange and tightly fitting armor appeared out of thin air on his body. This armor did not feel heavy or clumsy at all; it clung tightly to Sun Fei's body, making his figure appear even taller and more imposing. Every part of it was engraved with mysterious and profound magical patterns, shimmering with a chilling aura, as if it were not an inanimate object, but a part of his flesh and blood that was born naturally.
The two powerful figures displayed their strength without reservation, leaving everyone below Twin Tower Peaks speechless.
Čech, Torres, Oleg, and the others stared intently at the sky. Although their opponent was hailed as one of the Ten Judgment Knight of the Imperial Knights' Hall, possessing unparalleled prestige, they had long held the King's invincible confidence in their hearts. Sun Fei's strength, as he had always displayed, was unpredictable even to those who had been closely following him; it seemed unfathomable and unfathomable. For them, perhaps today was a golden opportunity to witness the King's true power.
Not far away, over a hundred Knights' Hall in golden armor were also staring intently at the Twin Tower Peaks. Like Čech and the others, they also had a fanatical faith in their leader. However, at the very back of the group, on a thin black horse, an old man with a goatee squinted his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them from time to time, seemingly lost in thought.
Meanwhile, Redknapp, the black-robed director of the Soros Chamber of Commerce, and his entourage gazed intently at the Twin Towers Peak. For the first time, the eldest princess in the Chambord Expeditionary Army force lifted the curtain of her magic carriage, and she, along with Angela and the blonde little Loli Jima, stared closely at the Twin Tower Peaks.
St. Saint Petersburg, the imperial capital.
Within the towering, massive black fortress, a resolute man with eyes like lightning and brows like blades suddenly opened his eyes, rose to his feet, walked to the window of the stone hall, and gazed through the dark clouds, as if he had seen something. "Who could possibly make Little Sutton unleash his full Dou Qi? How intriguing!"
At the same time, several powerful figures in the capital city sensed the familiar aura erupting wildly in the distance.
"Huh? It seems like little Sutton has met his match..."
"Heh, calm lakes don't train excellent sailors. It'll be good for this proud and impatient little fellow to learn a lesson..."
"Who's that? Holding that jerk up? Heh heh, better kill him!"
Each surge of emotion was fleeting.
Saint Petersburg, the imperial capital built a century ago and the pride of the Zenit Empire, this enormous city known as an 'impregnable fortress,' has lost its bright sunshine and flowers. For some reason, it has been shrouded in overcast skies for half a month, with the sky gloomy, damp, and cold. Every citizen feels an unprecedented sense of oppression and unease.
" King of Chambord, I hope your abilities won't disappoint me!"
The Golden Knight smiled arrogantly, and his knight's Long Spear suddenly trembled. Several strands of silver Dou Qi transformed into the shape of the Long Spear, paused briefly in the air, and then disappeared in a flash, arriving in front of Sun Fei in an instant. The air seemed to be torn apart, bursting out with a series of low booming sounds.
Clang!
Sun Fei slammed his fists out, producing a metallic clanging sound.
His hands were adorned with a pair of sixth-tier, bright gold equipment from the Diablo World, named [ Titan's Combat Giant Fist Gloves ]. These dark, barbed gloves, engraved with countless wondrous patterns, layered like dragon scales, densely protected his hands and forearms, rivaling any divine weapon. The Barbarian's fist power was amplified twice through the gloves, and the terrifying force directly shattered the air. The Sharp Metal Dou Qi aura spear that hurtled towards him was blasted to pieces before it even reached five meters in front of Sun Fei!
" King of Chambord, draw your weapon, or you are no match for me!"
With a roar, the Golden Knight leaped into the air. While still in mid-air, he gripped his Golden Knight's Long Spear, which hummed and vibrated violently, transforming into countless afterimages that hurtled towards Sun Fei. The lances were terrifying, swift as lightning, and shrill, like countless unstoppable divine weapons rushing towards him, engulfing Sun Fei like a raging storm.
"My weapon is my fists!"
Sun Fei laughed heartily, fearless and unperturbed. He unleashed a series of punches in the air, seemingly slow but actually swift. They appeared to be powerless, but the countless spear-shaped Sharp Metal Dou Qi phantoms that came from the sky vanished like hot snowflakes five meters in front of Sun Fei, not even a hair on Sun Fei head.
The Golden Knight's expression changed, and with a low shout, he suddenly grabbed the end of the golden Long Spear with one hand and thrust it forward. His figure flashed, and he transformed into a long rainbow of gold and silver, streaking across the sky. Like lightning, he instantly broke through the defensive force field set up by Sun Fei's fists. Mars flew from the tip of the golden spear due to high-speed friction, and finally turned into scorching flames, piercing towards Sun Fei's heart in the nick of time!
Two-in-one.
My mouth is full of blisters, I'm still feeling groggy, but I'm lying in bed trying to type. I'm hoping for some votes and favorites to comfort me.
Keep up the good work, hopefully there will be another chapter, but if it's past 11:30 and there's still no update, then brothers, don't wait anymore.
