Like a fighting rooster that had triumphed over all its opponents, Sun Fei subdued them all before leaving with a hearty laugh.
His laughter contained not a trace of humility befitting a member of the nobility or royalty; anyone could hear the pride and smugness within it. It was like a series of resounding slaps to the faces of some high-ranking nobles in the capital, the disdain and contempt it conveyed were worse than death to those nobles who were used to looking down on their vassal states like gods. But despite their ashen faces, they were still powerless against Sun Fei.
At least for now, they can't do anything about Sun Fei.
Like a giant bird leaping off the testing platform, Sun Fei swaggered around, greeting the people around him. Amidst the cheers of his many admirers from vassal states, he left the dueling arena. Considering other factors, Sun Fei did not bring anyone else from Chambord City with him for this duel; he came alone. Once out of the crowd, Sun Fei vanished from everyone's sight in a few flashes.
The Chambord Army camp.
Angela had felt uneasy since early morning.
Despite her absolute faith in her man, every sword-testing platform in the twenty-mile-long affiliated state-run district was a scene of flashing blades, flying blood and gore, life and death uncertain, each left to fate. Every day, vibrant lives were turned into mangled corpses carried off the testing platforms. This time, she was challenging Alexander's powerful Empire's renowned and unchallenged Judgment Knight. Ever since she secretly read the intelligence reports presented by old Zola and young Modrić about the strength of the Fourth [ Bloody Knight ], Angela's worries had only intensified.
However, the girl knew in her heart that no matter how dangerous the duel was, Alexander would not run away.
So from beginning to end, she wore a smile, not letting any of her worries show, lest Alexander see them and have concerns that might affect his performance in the duel. From the moment she learned about this duel, Angela tried her best to appear confident, hoping that her strength and optimism would bring good luck to Sun Fei.
An hour earlier, she had watched Sun Fei transform into a streak of light and rush off to the duel in the central tent of the Chambord Army.
At that moment, the girl's heart was in her throat.
From that moment on, she never had a moment of peace. Every moment was torture for her, and the passing of time made her heart pound with anxiety. She was restless, uneasy, and unable to eat or drink...
She forced herself to kneel quietly in the main tent, closing her eyes and praying devoutly before the statue of the God of War.
"Your Highness, the Invincible God of War of War, your child beseeches your miracle, that Alexander may return safely..."
Kneeling alongside Angela in the main tent was the blonde little Loli, Jima.
Outside the main tent, due to Sun Fei's orders, not a single member of the Chambord army left the camp to watch the duel. However, every Chambord soldier stood quietly in the tent, craning their necks to look towards the Number One Sword-Testing Platform, their expressions solemn, waiting for the duel to begin.
Among the crowd, Petr Čech, Torres, and Warden Oleg were far stronger than the others, so they could feel the powerful and terrifying energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the duel in the distance. In particular, one unfamiliar Dou Qi fluctuation, carrying endless Bloody and killing intent, was the most obvious. Even those three or four kilometers away couldn't help but circulate all their Dou Qi to Resist after feeling this aura, and they were terrified.
This aura is incredibly powerful!
Unlike Angela, Čech, Torres, Oleg, and the others, although terrified by this terrifying power, were not particularly worried for some reason.
Only those who fought alongside Sun Fei truly knew how strong His Majesty the King was. Since the Black Armor Army's siege, most of them had fought alongside His King. Each time, it seemed like a catastrophe, a desperate situation, but King Majesty always managed to solve the problem with his invincible personal strength. Especially as their strength and perception increased, they felt His King was truly unfathomable. Every time they thought the distance between themselves and His Majesty was closing, they were shocked to find that the distance between them was not only not closing, but was actually growing further and further apart. Especially after Sun Fei easily defeated [ Sun Golden Knight ] Sutton in the Battle of Twin Tower Peaks, they realized that on the path of cultivation, they could no longer even see His Majesty the King's 'back view'.
They had a fanatical trust in His Majesty the King, almost like that of the most fervent religious believers.
This trust is built upon His King's long- Zongheng invincible.
This image is deeply etched into their bones and souls.
Inside the Chambord Army camp, everyone was gazing in the direction of the Number One Sword-Testing Platform, even though they couldn't actually see the duel taking place there.
Just then--
" King of Chambord! King of Chambord!! King of Chambord!!! King of Chambord!!!!! King of Chambord --!!!!!!!"
A wave of sound, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, came from the direction of the sword-testing platform. Everyone felt as if they were in the middle of a stormy sea, and in the cheers, they felt that they could hardly stand up. They looked at each other and saw in each other's eyes a hint of wild joy that had not yet been fully expressed on their faces!
"This is... His Majesty won?" The first to react was the Bootlicker Oleg. The fat man roared with joy, jumping up and down on the spot like a ball of flesh bouncing off the ground, looking towards the dueling arena.
Swish swish swish swish!
A series of figures flashed through the Chambord City camp. Generals, Saint, and even the Urban Management with some skill were desperately climbing to higher ground. Although King Majesty had strictly forbidden anyone from leaving the camp to observe the battle, jumping to a higher vantage point was certainly an option.
Hearing the deafening cheers all around them, they couldn't hold back any longer.
In their minds, they could almost picture their King standing tall on the sword-testing platform, his black hair flowing like a waterfall, holding a long sword, surveying all directions with a commanding presence, while tens of thousands bowed in worship, and the arrogant Seventh [ Bloody Knight ] lying on the ground covered in blood, unable to even get up!
Crackling sound!
Perhaps because so many people climbed to the top of the tents to look out into the distance, several tents couldn't withstand the enormous weight and collapsed amidst cries of pain...
"Your Majesty... His Majesty won?" Angela ran out of the central tent, her voice trembling. " Petr, Torres, can someone tell me... does that sound... does His Majesty win?"
A figure flickered.
Upon hearing this, Čech, Torres, and the others immediately leaped down from their high position, knelt on one knee before Angela, and respectfully replied, "Your Highness, we didn't see the specific situation clearly, but we are certain that His Majesty has undoubtedly won. The powerful aura we felt earlier is no longer present; only His Majesty's presence remains on the testing platform."
"Excellent! Excellent!" The most radiant smile bloomed on the girl's peerless face, "Quickly, prepare to welcome His Majesty back to camp! This time, we must celebrate properly!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Having received the order from the future princess, the soldiers immediately began preparations with great excitement.
Angela, clutching the curtain of the central tent, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then happily turned and entered the tent, kneeling on the ground to express her gratitude for the protection of the God of God of War...
"I will happily and smilingly await Alexander's return!"
Sun Fei changed into a linen cloak and walked slowly through the streets of the camp.
His gaze completely ignored the warriors and slaves from the various vassal states around him who were excitedly discussing the duel that had just ended. He was constantly replaying and simulating the duel with the four Judgment Knight in his mind.
Sun Fei discovered that he seemed to possess a terrifying talent for learning and comprehension—after each duel with a master of similar strength, he would always gain some insights that he had never realized before. So, after a series of fierce battles with the Seventh [ Bloody Knight ], and later the Second [ Slaughter Knight ], the Fourth [ Giant Blade Knight ], and the Fifth [ Savage Knight ], he found that many things that were previously unclear on the path of martial arts seemed to suddenly become clear!
"Could it be due to the effect of the [Learning] skill, one of the three great divine skills? I was smart before, but not to this extent?"
Even the incredibly narcissistic and arrogant Sun Fei found his own talent strange.
As he pondered and organized the things that had suddenly appeared in his mind, he found the right time to do so.
"Huh?" Sun Fei's expression changed.
He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being stared at by a terrifying beast.
"Someone's following us? And a top-tier expert at that!"
Sun Fei had no doubt about the level 40 Barbarian's keen sense of danger. In that instant, Sun Fei was completely certain that he was being followed by a super expert. This opponent, who was like Dread Beast lurking in the shadows, was far stronger than him, giving Sun Fei a feeling of insignificance as if he were facing an endless ocean.
Moreover, this locked aura contained an undisguised killing intent.
