Beneath the vast sky, atop the broken peak.

Two figures stood proudly, their clothes fluttering in the wind.

The people below the mountain were dumbfounded because they finally saw clearly the outcome of this horrifying battle. On that broken peak, King of Chambord Sun Fei was covered with countless tiny wounds—his neck, cheeks, earlobes, shoulder bones, arms, and abdomen. Each wound looked as if it had been lightly grazed by a sharp blade, leaving no visible scars, yet blood continuously seeped from these tiny wounds, turning into beads of blood, then droplets, and finally flowing like a stream, dripping down Sun Fei's strange and mysterious armor and his gauntlets covered in dark dragon scales, onto the broken peak beneath his feet.

On the broken peak of South Tower Peak, Sun Fei's opponent— the Golden Knight Chris Sutton— wielded a golden spear, pointing it diagonally to the sky. The spearhead was sharp, like a divine spear, gleaming brightly. His golden helmet and armor were spotless, and his imposing figure stood straight and tall. The strong wind on the mountaintop tousled his cascading golden hair, making him as dazzling as the Sun, impossible to look directly at. There wasn't a single fist mark or injury on his body; he stood as firm as a mountain.

Has the King of Chambord lost?

Did the Golden Judgment Knight win?

Upon witnessing this scene, a commotion erupted at the Twin Tower Peaks, a stark contrast between ice and fire.

The Golden Knight of the Knights' Hall cheered and jumped for joy, raising their Long Spear high, making no attempt to hide their fanatical worship of their leader. Behind the crowd, on a group of thin, bony horses, a sinister old man with a goatee and triangular eyes finally revealed a hint of smugness on his lips. The wrinkles on his face, which countless opponents never wanted to look at a second time, seemed to smooth out a little. He nodded with satisfaction, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, on the Chambord Expeditionary Army's side, there was an inexplicable uproar. Čech, Oleg, and Torres frowned deeply, repeatedly observing the condition of the two on the mountaintop. Judging from the King and the Golden Knight's injuries, it seemed that Sun Fei had lost, but a strange feeling lingered in the hearts of the three, as if they had overlooked something...

"Ah... Alexander... he's injured!" In the princess's magical carriage, the blonde little Loli Jima, covered her mouth tightly, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes. In that instant, the little Loli seemed to have forgotten that the noble King was on the mountaintop and that she was just a maid, and actually called His King by his name.

The princess's deep blue, captivating eyes remained serene, though a fleeting look of slight shock crossed her face. Beside her, the usually quiet girl Angela stared intently at the summit of the broken mountain, her beautiful eyes wide open. She gazed at the figure covered in blood, as if he had just crawled out of a pool of blood, and a strange light shone in her eyes—not fear or confusion, but an unprecedented conviction and composure!

On the battlefield between the two armies.

The Big Black and the strange wolf seemed to have sensed something, each letting out a low, thunderous growl from its throat. They stared at each other, their eyes locked in a fierce confrontation, their thick fur standing on end like steel needles, and both beasts exuding a chilling aura of danger.

A bolt of lightning suddenly flashed between the dark clouds.

The deafening thunderclap instantly echoed in the ears of everyone living in Saint Petersburg.

The black fortress soared into the clouds, its spires piercing the highest point of the sky like Sharp Sword.

Before a curved window at the very top of the tower, a tall man with sharp, pointed eyebrows suddenly showed surprise. His gaze seemed to travel across vast distances, as if he had witnessed something astonishing. He then thoughtfully rested his chin on his hand and smiled, "Interesting. I didn't expect this ending. It's making me even more excited!"

"Hahaha, I never expected this! It's truly unexpected!"

"What a surprise! This Martial Combat Competition might become even more exciting!"

"Excellent! This is something I'm looking forward to!"

"Heh heh, is another powerful figure about to be born in the empire?"

The powerful and terrifying spiritual fluctuations that had appeared over the capital not long ago seemed to sense something once again, and with surprise and astonishment, they swept across the cloud-covered sky and disappeared in an instant.

The dark clouds over the capital seemed to have grown even thicker and more somber.

At the summit of Twin Towers Broken Peak.

"I'm curious, did that woman Paris send you to deal with me?" Sun Fei suddenly asked.

Blood kept seeping from the numerous tiny wounds on his body. Although the Barbarian's body was incredibly strong, the silver Sharp Metal Dou Qi remaining in the wounds could not be completely expelled in a short time. It was like invisible wind-powered Xiaodao constantly cutting his skin. As soon as the wounds healed slightly, they would be torn open again.

These terrifying remnants of Sharp Metal Dou Qi were the very energy the Golden Knight unleashed during their clash, blasting it into Sun Fei's body. For Sun Fei, who prefers wide-ranging attacks in [ Barbarian Mode ], it was impossible not to get injured when fighting a terrifying opponent of this level.

There was a moment of silence.

The Golden Knight finally spoke.

"Lady Paris forbade me to cause you trouble, but as one of the ten most Judgment Knight of the Knights' Hall, do I, Sutton, need any reason to cause trouble for a Barbarian King? Poor Barbarian, every single thing you've done is enough to send you to the Knights' Hall's judgment seat!"

"Haha, really? That's a shame, but it seems you can't do that!" Sun Fei said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened.

Snap!

A faint, almost inaudible sound, yet it resonated like a grand bell, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

A tiny crack appeared on Sutton's golden spear. As the cracking sounds grew more frequent, more and more fine lines appeared on the spear, quickly covering its entire body. It was as if someone had drawn countless black stripes on the golden surface with an ink brush. Then, suddenly, this golden spear, which Sutton had crafted with such lavish expense and cherished as his life, crumbled into pieces like a beautiful porcelain vase that had suddenly fallen to the ground. A strong wind blew, and the pieces scattered like dust in the wind, fluttering and withering away like thousands of golden butterflies, quickly disappearing from sight!

"I swear, the next time we meet, I will send you to the Knights' Hall for judgment!"

The golden-haired knight Sutton looked at the golden spear that had turned into fragments and scattered in the wind, and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. However, he was not surprised, because he had already discovered that his Hundred Ghosts Weapon had actually been shattered by his opponent's terrifying and savage fist force during their previous encounter. He had only managed to maintain it by using his Dou Qi.

The next time we met, the result was the same!

Sun Fei curled his lip in disdain. If it weren't for the many eyes watching from below the mountain, this genius might not have had a second chance at all.

After a burst of purple flame, Sun Fei's wounds suddenly began to heal miraculously.

In the blink of an eye, Sun Fei endured the excruciating pain and used brute force to expel the remaining, weakened Sharp Metal Dou Qi from his body. Combined with the [ Rejuvenation Potion ] he had secretly taken, all the tiny, dense wounds that had been oozing blood disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a single scar. If it weren't for the marks left by the Golden Knight's Long Spear still visible on his armor, no one would have been able to tell that he had once endured an extraordinary and arduous battle.

In contrast to Sun Fei's sudden return to peak condition, the Golden Knight's condition deteriorated rapidly.

Click, click, snap--!

The continuous, soft cracking sounds persisted, but this time, it was the golden armor of the Golden Knight Sutton that shattered like porcelain. The scene was exactly the same as when the Golden Spear shattered just seconds before; cracks spread from the bottom up to the helmet, until finally, the golden armor could no longer hold together and instantly fell from Sutton's body like a broken eggshell, scattering in the wind...

Along with it, the undergarments and clothing beneath the golden armor also drifted away in the wind.

Chris Sutton, one of the ten most Judgment Knight of the Imperial Knights' Hall, known as the [ Sun Golden Knight ], could only stand naked on the summit of the South Tower Peak in full view of everyone, like a pillar of light. There was nothing to cover his body, not even his most private parts.

" Barbarian, the humiliation you have inflicted upon me today will one day be repaid tenfold, a hundredfold!"

The Golden Knight Sutton's eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit. He stood straight atop the mountain, without any concealment, displaying his naked body. Perhaps it was precisely because he was no longer covered by armor and clothing that he had to stand even straighter. The humiliation of being naked was nothing; what truly drove him mad was the cruel reality of being easily defeated by his opponent. However, this prodigy who had risen to fame at a young age still showed his extraordinary side. He maintained a terrifying calmness, standing tall against the wind.

Then, in an instant, something terrible happened.

Suddenly, without warning, streams of blood mist began to gush from the Golden Knight's body. Sutton had no wounds on his body; the blood was simply seeping from his pores. It turned out that his muscles, bones, and internal organs had long been injured by Sun Fei's savage fist force. He had been suppressing it with his powerful Dou Qi qi cultivation, but at this moment, he could no longer hold back, and the injuries erupted all at once like a flash flood.

His mind was in a daze. The Golden Knight lost his balance and staggered slightly before finally giving way. He was blown off the mountain by the strong wind and fell like a piece of wood down the lonely peak.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in this bullshit struggle for the imperial throne, so you'd better not mess with me again. Also, my patience is just as bad as yours, really bad!"

Before losing consciousness, Sutton heard the last words of that damned Barbarian King.

A collective gasp of surprise rippled through the crowd below the mountain.
