Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!
The crimson serrated greatsword hovered in front of the [ Bloody Knight ], seemingly drawn by a mysterious, invisible force. Suddenly, it began to spin wildly, its serrations tearing through the air. Its sharp screech caused tens of thousands of people around to cover their ears, as if an unnamed, terrifying beast was roaring angrily in the abyss.
A strange change occurred.
Like a whale sucking in water, the crimson mist that filled the air above the testing platform rushed into the vicinity of the serrated greatsword at an extremely fast speed. The crimson mist turned into a bright red flame, and the flames were filled with the stench of blood, as if they were about to burn down the void.
"As you wish, I will use this move to blast you into dust, and let those delusional fools around the testing ground understand that anyone who dares to challenge the majesty of the Knights' Hall will pay a bloody price... Advanced Dou Qi Technique—Hell... Crimson... Hymn!!"
Reaching out and grasping the serrated greatsword burning with crimson flames, as if fire had met lamp oil, the crimson flames instantly spread to the [ Bloody Knight's ] entire body. A red light flashed, and his figure rose into the air. Although the ground beneath his feet was protected by the magic array, it still collapsed with a rumble, creating spiderweb-like cracks.
The figure of the [ Bloody Knight ] transcended the boundaries of time and space, appearing above Sun Fei's head in an instant. He raised his sword and slashed vertically, creating a giant sword of Dou Qi that was even more crimson than blood, its blade covered with indistinct patterns.
Seeing this, Sun Fei's expression became slightly more serious.
This crimson giant sword was formed from pure crimson Dou Qi, possessing a tangible pressure. Although its massive blade appeared blurry, it faintly contained magical runes, hinting at a subtle aura of the laws of order... Such a high-level Dou Qi technique was indeed extraordinary, far surpassing the Golden Knight's [ Hurricane Wolf Slash ].
"Hahaha, good, that's more like it!"
Amidst loud laughter, Sun Fei's long, black hair danced wildly. With a stomp of his foot, the power of a level 40 Barbarian erupted, and his body shot out like a cannonball. His fists struck out in rapid succession, head and feet moving in mid-air to meet the blood-red giant sword. In the blink of an eye, he unleashed a full fifty punches. The speed of his punches was so fast that it exceeded the limits of what the ordinary human eye could perceive, to the point that the fifty punch imprints were indistinguishable from one another.
Fifty transparent fist imprints almost instantly overlapped into a huge transparent glass fist imprint, with fingerprints, pores, sweat veins and blood vessels clearly visible on it.
This glass fist imprint possesses an indescribable charm.
The fist imprint, ten meters square, stood motionless in mid-air, merely a simple clenched fist gesture. Yet, to everyone present, it felt as if this fist contained all the myriad phenomena and countless variations, encompassing every possible variation of fist techniques under heaven.
" Heavenly Frost Fist... Cover the Sky with One Hand!"
Sun Fei roared, and his fist imprint streaked across the sky like a meteor, as if a giant hand of a god had appeared in the mortal world.
At this moment, an unforgettable scene appeared Number One Sword-Testing Platform, a scene that everyone would remember for a lifetime.
The glass-like fist imprint swept across the sky, carrying an aura as terrifying as the beginning of the world.
A crimson giant sword hangs horizontally, its imposing presence like an ancient god raising his sword to split the heavens and earth.
The moment has finally arrived.
At the Mount Moluo, outside the capital, in the twenty-mile camp area, on the Number One Sword-Testing Platform, under the watchful eyes of everyone, with everyone holding their breath and under the close attention of all forces, the glass fist imprint containing immense life force and the hundred-meter-long giant sword mixed with blood-red magic array patterns finally collided.
Boom boom boom boom boom--!
A series of gas explosions resounded like rolling thunder.
At the very center of the blinding white light, wave after wave of invisible energy spread out like the shockwave after a nuclear explosion, constantly impacting the magical protective shield [ Water Curtain Heaven Flower ]. The entire testing platform began to shake violently, with dust and gravel falling from the cracks in the rocks, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
This was the most breathtaking clash since the start of the duel.
This will also be the final clash to determine the winner.
All eyes are on us.
Nervous!...
Suspense! Suspense! Suspense!!
Between heaven and earth, only this one voice remained.
It felt as if everyone's heart had stopped beating.
Snap!
A faint, crisp sound, like shattering glass, rang out.
The sound was inaudible, yet like the resounding toll of a great bell, striking the hearts of everyone present. Their hearts trembled violently, and they couldn't help but stand up, their eyes fixed on the fifty-meter-high testing platform. Their breaths stopped, their thoughts froze... everything came to a standstill!
Soon, everyone realized the source of the sharp sound.
Because the outcome was clearly presented to everyone.
In mid-air, a barely perceptible white crack appeared on the blade of the hundred-meter-long, blood-red, inscribed Dou Qi giant sword where it intersected with the glass fist imprint. Then, as if in slow motion, this white crack began to slowly expand, spreading and diffusing like a spider... eventually covering the entire blade.
Bang--!
With a muffled thud, fragments of the giant red sword flew everywhere.
The greatsword shattered!
At the same time, the gazes and eyes of tens of thousands of people around were also shattered.
They actually... lost!
The Bloody Knight, who was considered absolutely invincible, actually lost?
After shattering the crimson greatsword, the enormous glass fist imprint suddenly erupted with incredible power. Its remaining force continued to soar into the sky, crashing into the [ Bloody Knight ] who was in mid-air and had no time to dodge.
The azure-colored fist imprint instantly enveloped the Seventh Judgment Knight.
Puffs and bursts of blood mist exploded in mid-air, staining the sky red.
Bang!
The blood-covered figure was sent flying, crashing heavily into the shimmering azure magic barrier of the water-based magic [ Water Curtain Heaven Flower ]. He bore the full force of the Heavenly Frost Fist, and streams of blood gushed from his wounds. His limbs were visibly broken beyond belief, revealing white bone fragments. The injuries were horrifying!
We really... lost!
The Seventh Judgment Knight of the Knights' Hall, who had been renowned in Zenit for over twenty years and whose ferocity was such that he could definitely be classified as one of the Empire's top masters, [ Bloody Knight ] Krude, was incredibly defeated despite being favored by everyone!
They were defeated without the slightest resistance.
Snap!
The body, seemingly devoid of life, slumped limply along the magical barrier of the Heavenly Frost Fist after the terrifying force had finally dissipated, and slid onto the stone surface of the testing platform. Crimson blood stained the earth, flowing like a stream through the cracks in the stones...
"The duel is over... The victor is King of Chambord Alexander!" The voice of Materazzi, the Empire's first bard, reached everyone's ears immediately. This verdict was like a dream, so unreal and unbelievable.
At the same time, the water-based barrier [ Water Curtain Heaven Flower ], which had been shimmering with sky-blue ripples, disappeared.
Between heaven and earth, only silence remained.
A long silence followed.
"You bastard, how dare you use such force!"
A furious shout rang out, and three streaks of light flashed across the VIP area. The crowd snapped back to reality, only to find three menacing figures, radiating powerful auras, now surrounding King of Chambord on the sword-testing platform. The leader, the Second Judgment Knight [ Slaughter Knight ], clad in grotesque armor adorned with ferocious scales, had rage flashing in his eyes beneath his mask. "How dare you! A duel is nothing more than a fight to the death! You dare to use such brutal force, clearly intending to kill me! King of Chambord, do you really think the Imperial Knights' Hall can't do anything to you?"
"Capture him and take him to the Black Prison for retrial!" The Dou Qi of the Fourth [ Giant Blade Knight ] and the Fifth [ Violence Knight ] was already surging, eager to try, and they looked at Sun Fei as if he were a prisoner.
This scene immediately caused an uproar around the sword-testing platform.
A huge murmur of discussion arose, like the surging waves of the sea. Many people had not expected that such a thing would happen after the duel. A Judgment Knight Knights' Hall had actually attacked the victor, disregarding his status. This was clearly an act of personal vendetta, and a chorus of boos immediately followed.
"Hmph!" The second [ Slaughter Knight ] snorted coldly upon seeing this, and the temperature in the air plummeted as if an iceberg had descended, instantly silencing the clamor.
Despite their dissatisfaction, no one dared to challenge the authority of the Judgment Knight. Most of the people around were from vassal states, of low social status, and accustomed to obeying the Imperial Judgment Knight. Even some representatives from powerful imperial forces in the VIP area, who had originally wanted to extend an olive branch to recruit Sun Fei, chose to wait and see after seeing this scene!
"Surrender!" The fourth [ Giant Blade Knight ] reached out towards Sun Fei's mouth.
"You're courting death!" Sun Fei sneered, fearless and unfazed, throwing a punch at the opponent. With a series of muffled thuds, the two exchanged countless blows in that instant. The next moment, the Fourth Judgment Knight, pale-faced and incredulous, stumbled backward, his breathing rapid and his chest heaving violently, showing signs of being outmatched.
The commotion below the testing platform erupted once again.
Some passionate individuals couldn't help but cheer, Judgment Knight's domineering behavior had angered many.
"Stop!"
Amidst the shouts, three more streaks of light flashed, and the figures of the other three Judgment Knight in the VIP area—the Third [ Punishment Knight ], the Sixth [ Radiant Knight ], and the Eighth [ White Cloud Knight ]—appeared on the testing platform, separating them from the previous three Judgment Knight.
"In a duel, mistakes are inevitable. Why are you so concerned, Second Knight? It's beneath your dignity." The Third [ Punishment Knight ] spoke calmly, surprisingly siding with Sun Fei.
"Hmph, my decision will not be changed. This lowly, ignorant madman dared to seriously injure an Imperial Judgment Knight and deserves to be severely punished!" The Second [ Slaughter Knight ] did not back down and refused to budge an inch.
Second update.
