Following the surging, wave-like flow of people, Sun Fei and his group arrived at the Number One Sword-Testing Platform.
The reason this duel was arranged on the Number One Sword-Testing Platform was mainly because one of the combatants, [ Mad Recluse ] Baoye, was renowned for a long time and was considered a famous master among the 250 vassal states. Such a master's attack would cause the greatest damage, so the competition venue had to be the most secure.
The Number One Sword-Testing Platform was once the site of a fierce battle between King of Chambord One Fist Spanning the Heavens the four Judgment Knight. It is the testing platform with the most powerful magical enhancement and the strongest protective barrier.
[ Mad Recluse ] Baoye was a man clad in light steel armor, without a helmet, with tangled, yellowish hair like a thicket of straw, and eyes the size of mung beans that gleamed with a shrewd light. He had a slightly crooked mouth, a flat nose, and a tall but not imposing physique. Although he was a renowned expert from a vassal state, he lacked the demeanor of a master, instead exuding a slightly sleazy and vulgar air.
Baoye hails from the Western War Zone and is the Prince of the Guluo Kingdom, a first-class vassal state. He once caused a sensation in the Zenit Empire by enduring ten consecutive blows without defeat against the rusty sword of [ One Sword ]. Before Sun Fei's sudden emergence, many people considered Baoye to be an excellent candidate to challenge [ One Sword ] for the title of the number one expert in the vassal state.
However, this man was notoriously arrogant, and he had no interest in wine, women, wealth, or power, nor did he possess the slightest awareness of a noble or high-ranking official. His obsession with women, in particular, reached a level that was utterly repulsive. A wandering poet once exaggeratedly claimed that in the Guluo Kingdom, there was not a single girl over the age of eighteen who had not been defiled by Baoye. This debauched Prince even promoted the "right of the first night" in the name of the future king, stipulating that any newlywed woman must offer her first night to him, or else she would be considered a traitor, and all her relatives would be slaughtered.
In the Guluo Kingdom, countless beautiful women suffered tragic fates, countless lovers fled because of it, and countless families lived in pain and shame. Unfortunately, this Baoye was a Prince of the kingdom and one of the few martial arts masters among the 250 vassal states, yet no one could do anything to him.
Of course, his addiction to wine, women, wealth, and power also hindered his progress in martial arts over the years, leaving him far behind [ One Sword ], who led an ascetic training life. His reputation gradually faded, he rarely made a move, and coupled with his eccentric and arrogant behavior, he was jokingly called [ Mad Recluse ] by some.
Even so, [ Mad Recluse ] Baoye is still one of the top experts among the 250 vassal states. He performed extremely well in the Western Theater Ranking Tournament, defeating six strong opponents in a row and advancing to the Empire Ranking Competition.
On the testing platform, the two duelists have already taken their places.
Elena wore a deep red magical light armor, with beautiful and mysterious golden patterns spreading across the crimson armor like rose vines. Her snow-white arms, wrists, and elbows were adorned with stunningly beautiful armor, while faint red magical elements surged on her fiery red shoulder guards. Her voluptuous, high breasts appeared even more breathtaking under the special female armor's breastplate. Her snow-white, jade-like waist was exposed to the air, attracting countless eyes. Her bright red battle skirt and boots that extended from her feet to her calves made the Valkyrie mercenary look like a Valkyrie descending from the heavens.
The cold winter wind blew, ruffling Elena's long red hair. Two strands of red hair, her Jian Jie ponytail, and the pale blue hair tied around her smooth, white forehead made her stand there quietly, without saying a word, exuding an unparalleled charm, like a noble Goddess untouched by worldly affairs.
As soon as Elena appeared, a chorus of swallowing sounds erupted from below the sword-testing platform.
All the men were as if struck by lightning, their throats churning, some drooling, others bleeding from their noses, speechless, staring blankly at the stunning Goddess on the stage, as if they were dumbfounded.
On the platform, Baoye's small, beady eyes gleamed with lust. His breathing was rapid as he stared at his opponent, his mind racing. "This woman is mine! I must have her! My God, there's such a charismatic female warrior in the world! I must strip her armor bare and see what breathtaking beauty lies hidden beneath that fiery red armor. I must have her! I swear..."
Baoye's gaze swept over Elena's body from head to toe, lingering on certain parts, while he made clicking, approving noises. Any man would understand what he meant.
Elena frowned, then stretched out her slender hand and grasped at the air. A short bow, seemingly formed from a rose vine with its own life of its own, appeared in her hand.
At the same time, a gaze filled with icy killing intent pierced through the protective magic barrier [ Water Curtain Heaven Flower ] of the Number One Sword-Testing Platform and landed on Baoye.
Sensing the piercing hostility in that gaze, Baoye suddenly snapped out of his daze. He turned his head and saw a tall and imposing young man in the distance staring coldly at him, as if he were a lamb to the slaughter. The chilling intent in his eyes made one feel as if they were in an ice cave.
"By the way, this woman is said to be from Chambord City, and King of Chambord is extremely protective of his own. It seems like getting this beauty will be troublesome; I'll have to take it slow... Hehe, I'm not even afraid of a One Sword strike, so why would I be afraid of you, King of Chambord?"
Having made up his mind, Baoye ignored that gaze and turned to stare at Elena with a smile.
"Hey beautiful, I think we can find a better place, hehe, I'll show you what I'm capable of..." As he spoke, Baoye made a series of thrusting motions, his expression extremely lewd.
"Hahaha..."
Some of the guys below the testing platform burst into laughter. Everyone knew what this meant and understood that Baoye's "let's fight somewhere else" meant to be moved there.
Elena, having grown up in the world of Diablo, had almost no contact with men and was not very knowledgeable about such matters. Although she felt uncomfortable with the other person's gaze, she did not understand the flirtatious meaning in Baoye's words and simply frowned slightly.
Even a slight frown from her made Baoye feel his heart pound and his mouth go dry. He felt that this Chambord warrior was simply a perfect masterpiece of heaven, and every smile and frown could make one's soul tremble.
This is what is meant by "having boundless audacity due to lust".
At this moment, Baoye was burning with lust. He felt that the women he had been with before were nothing compared to the woman in front of him. Even though Sun Fei's murderous intent made the people around him who were laughing turn pale and tremble, Baoye was completely oblivious.
"Hehe, beautiful, you still don't know the benefits of men? Hahaha, want me to demonstrate for you?"
Seeing a hint of disgust and confusion on Elena's noble yet strikingly beautiful face, Baoye teased her repeatedly. He had already made up his mind to satisfy his cravings first, then take advantage of the upcoming duel to tease her further, and finally, after the battle, find a way to get this female warrior from the Chambord people.
But he soon realized that his thinking was a bit wrong.
The female warrior opposite him drew back her short bow, and a golden thread of light appeared on the bowstring. Then, an arrow flashing with dazzling red flames appeared on the bowstring. The arrow was actually formed entirely from fire magic elements, and it even began to shimmer with a metallic light, showing how incredibly solidified the elements were.
What formidable archery skills!
This female warrior turned out to be a powerful female magic archer.
Baoye sensed a long-lost threat emanating from the flaming arrow.
He gradually lost his contempt and began to take this opponent seriously; this Chambord warrior seemed to be more than he had imagined.
However, when the female warrior actually fired her arrow, Baoye realized how terribly wrong he had been.
call out!
A sharp, piercing whistling sound slowly emerged from his shoulder as a searing, intense burning sensation ran through the air. The man, hailed as the second strongest among the 250 vassal states under [ One Sword ], had no chance to Avoid. He was propelled backward by the immense force of the arrow piercing Elena's body.
Bang!
The blue light screen that had been flashing on the Number One Sword-Testing Platform shattered like glass.
The water-based magic barrier [ Water Curtain Heaven Flower ], capable of withstanding the full-force attack of Six-Star Class Peak expert, was actually pierced through by the female mercenary's arrow.
This incredible scene immediately shocked everyone.
One arrow shatters the barrier!
Doesn't this mean that Chambord female archer's strength has actually surpassed that of a Six-Star Class Peak expert?
How is this possible...? She's actually at least a Seven-Star Class expert!
Many audience members around the timetable were immediately terrified and wet themselves.
[ Mad Recluse ] Baoye had just barely managed to get up from the ground on the sword-testing platform, was also quite frightened. He realized he had just been flirting with someone who was at least Seven-Star Class expert? But this female warrior was simply too alluring. The thought that he might not be able to have this Goddess filled Baoye with a pain worse than if his parents had died...
"Match over, Chambord City wins!!" After a long pause, the first to recover from the shock was the referee of the match. His legs trembled, and he didn't dare to look at Elena. He announced the result in a trembling voice.
The moment the words "The game is over" were uttered, a sudden change occurred—
A figure leaped from the crowd below the stage, a streak of light arriving in an instant and stopping on the Number One Sword-Testing Platform. It was none other than King of Chambord Sun Fei.
Everyone could feel the chilling aura emanating from King of Chambord.
This time he's here to kill someone.
Second update, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, everyone hurry up and have some fun.
