On the sword-testing platform.

The black flames and powerful energy that filled the sky gradually dissipated, and visibility returned.

A golden feather fan fluttered, a golden wine vessel wafted its fragrance, and a long golden robe billowed as he casually stood at the very center of the sword-testing platform—none other than Materazzi, the empire's foremost bard.

"Hey kid, it's fine to beat up these idiots to vent your anger, but don't go too far. If someone gets killed, it won't be good for anyone," Materazzi said to Sun Fei with a smile.

"They provoked me first." Sun Fei pretended to be innocent while still feeling aggrieved, but in reality, he was secretly shocked.

Although it was clear from the beginning that the Empire's First Bard was a master, no one expected him to be several stories tall after revealing his true strength. Just now, he effortlessly neutralized the combined power of Sun Fei's and the Second [ Slaughter Knight's ] ultimate attacks. Sun Fei knew he couldn't do that, yet Materazzi's hair remained perfectly intact. This showed that this person's strength far exceeded Sun Fei's expectations.

"Well, to be honest, I've disliked them for a long time too, but kid, even if you don't like them, you can't go too far. Do you think it's easy for the Empire to select a few Judgment Knight? Six-Star Class Dou Qi masters aren't like winter wheat in the field, you can't just harvest one crop and have another grow back..." Materazzi clicked his tongue, sipping the fine wine in his golden goblet, and chuckled as he advised Sun Fei, "The Empire's current situation is complicated. It can't function without these few guys who like to fight. You've had your fill of showing off today, or as you yourself would say, you've been pretty cool. Stop here!"

"I'm fine with it, I'll listen to Old Man, but I'm afraid it might be those few..." Sun Fei didn't really intend to kill the three Judgment Knight. He glanced at the three Judgment Knight to the side.

"Hmph, today King of Chambord... must--die--!" The second [ Slaughter Knight ], whose mouth was bleeding from the injury caused by the Reversal Dou Qi Technique, showed no mercy to Materazzi, uttering these words almost one by one from his throat.

He took out three small blue pills from his storage ring, tossed one to the fourth [ Giant Blade Knight ] and the fifth [ Savage Knight ], and swallowed one himself. Instantly, his injuries began to heal rapidly. Under the impetus of the three men's profound Dou Qi, the medicine took effect quickly, and their injuries were almost completely healed within ten breaths.

These small blue pills are exceptionally precious, with astonishing healing effects. For martial artists, they are practically a second life. Even with the Second Knight's status and position within the empire, he only possesses five of them in total. He has always treasured them like precious gems, and normally, no one is even allowed to glance at them. However, today, after suffering repeated setbacks and injuries at the hands of King of Chambord, he was so enraged by the King of Chambord that he generously gave away three pills at once to help the Fourth Knight and Fifth Knight recover quickly.

He was determined today to bring King of Chambord into the Knights' Hall Black Prison.

In the Second Knight's view, the previous encounter was due to their own carelessness, allowing King of Chambord to gain the upper hand. It wasn't that King of Chambord's strength completely overwhelmed them, which is why they had to fight again. The Second [ Slaughter Knight ] firmly believed that the final outcome would be reversed.

Seeing this, Sun Fei's killing intent surged.

If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

If he determines that someone poses a threat, he will no longer hold back.

Even if Sun Fei kills these three Judgment Knight, he has ways to avoid being held accountable.

He shrugged at Materazzi, who was trying to mediate, and gave him a smile, indicating that it wasn't his fault.

Seeing this, Materazzi didn't try to stop him, but just laughed and continued drinking in silence.

Just as the two sides were about to unleash another earth-shattering battle, a calm yet authoritative voice suddenly rang out from the direction of the capital—

"That's it, everyone come back!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Second [ Slaughter Knight ] and the Fourth [ Giant Blade Knight ] and Fifth [ Savage Knight ] beside him froze instantly, their eyes filled with endless resentment and astonishment. However, they dared not hesitate in the slightest. They roared to the sky, glared at Sun Fei with infinite resentment, and then transformed into three streaks of light, shooting towards the capital and disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant.

This scene immediately sparked a wave of astonishment and uproar.

Has another bigwig from the capital gotten involved?

Who exactly was this person who, with just a casual remark, could make the three Judgment Knight, filled with resentment and wanting nothing more than to tear King of Chambord to shreds, dare not put up any resistance and slink away from the testing ground?

"Your Majesty, the Second Knight and his men will likely not let this matter rest. Please take good care of yourself!"

The third [ Punishment Knight ], the sixth [ Radiant Knight ], and the eighth [ White Cloud Knight ], who had been standing at the edge of the testing platform, came over, greeted him, and looked at Sun Fei with eyes still full of shock. They said goodbye, went over to help the unconscious seventh [ Bloody Knight ], and then their figures flashed, turning into three streams of light that shot towards the capital and quickly disappeared.

In the blink of an eye, the tense situation that had been on the verge of conflict was completely resolved by a single sentence from the mysterious man.

A brief silence fell over the world.

Everyone stared blankly at the young and handsome king on the testing platform, a wave of dizziness washing over them, feeling as if their brains were about to explode. No one had expected that today's duel would lead to such a shocking and out-of-control situation, with King of Chambord beating four Judgment Knight to a pulp... If it weren't for that mysterious voice, no one could have imagined how today's situation would have ended.

Just then, something unexpected happened again—

boom!!

An immense and irresistible force, like a shooting star, suddenly ripped through the distant sky, surging in like a torrent from the direction of the capital. It was the purest earth-elemental orange-yellow Dou Qi aura, without any trace of Dou Qi techniques. It blasted out from four kilometers away, roaring towards the Number One Sword-Testing Platform in the Twenty Mile Camp.

The spearhead of this overwhelming and irresistible force was none other than King of Chambord Sun Fei.

Sun Fei's expression changed drastically.

This force was immense and vast, far beyond what a level 40 Barbarian could withstand.

What shocked Sun Fei even more was that he found incredulously that at this moment, his body was directly locked onto by this sudden, terrifying force that seemed to collapse like a mountain. With his strength, he couldn't Avoid and could only face it head-on.

Whoosh!

A strange, radiant light flashed.

Sun Fei clenched his hands in the air, and the strangely shaped [ Bul-Kathos's Sacred Price: Colossus Blade ] and [ Bul-Kathos's Tribal Guardian: Mythical Sword ], imbued with mysterious power, materialized in his hands. Streams of magical power flowed through the blades, instantly enveloping Sun Fei's entire body.

The [ Bul-Kathos' Children ] set has set effects such as 2 all skills, 200 attack accuracy, 20 fire damage, and 25 defense... With dual swords in hand, Sun Fei's strength has increased significantly.

Clang clang clang clang--!

The two swords were swung, leaving faint sword marks in the air.

The sword whistled and rang out.

Crimson flames, imbued with an aura of antiquity and antiquity, appeared out of thin air and coalesced into countless giant swords of fire, shooting towards the terrifying, crimson force that was hurtling through the air like a dense swarm of arrows.

Sun Fei instantly activated the Barbarian skill [ Double Swing ].

Dual swords can damage two targets in a single attack or inflict two separate attacks on the same target without any sequence of attacks.

The existence of this skill point is equivalent to having two Sun Fei with the strength of a level 40 Barbarian attacking at once. In other words, it allows Sun Fei to unleash twice the attack power in an instant.

Then, with the added fire damage from the [ Bul-Kathos' Children ] set, Sun Fei unleashed a series of giant flaming swords.

Boom boom boom boom--!

Flames shot out in the air, and the giant flaming sword that shot out collided with that immense power. Like an egg hitting a boulder, it shattered instantly, scattering in all directions, and flames rained down from the sky.

The immense power was only slightly hindered for a moment before it shot towards Sun Fei again.

"Holy crap, what level of power is that?"

In desperation, Sun Fei couldn't help but curse. A sharp gust of wind locked onto him, and a vast and powerful force crushed him. Blood began to seep from Sun Fei's nose, mouth, and ears. This force had completely exceeded the limits that Sun Fei could Resist, and even far surpassed the realm of Star Class experts. It was a domain that only Moon Class expert could touch.

We can hold back any longer.

In the instant the strong wind pressed down on him, Sun Fei gritted his teeth, abandoned [ Barbarian Mode ], and instantly switched to [ Sorceress Mode ]. Then, in a flash, with a roar, he activated the mage's [ Teleport ] skill.

[ Teleport ] skill.

Ignoring power locks and obstacles, it instantly Teleport the caster to any location within sight.

It's equivalent to Blink.

bite--!

A faint, soft sound was heard.

In the fraction of a second that the immense power struck him, Sun Fei's stiff figure suddenly blurred, then vanished from the spot in the next second. Almost at the same moment he disappeared, he reappeared beside Materazzi, the Empire's first bard, on the sword-testing platform.

boom--!

The terrifying force emanating from the direction of the capital city pierced through the air, finally landing on the ground of the sword-testing platform with its Armageddon momentum.

Second update.
