Sun Fei stood on the edge of the cliff at Sword Peak Sword Peak, looking down at the scattered lights of Saint Petersburg below. The firelight on the ground and the devastation in the sky were connected, and darkness and light intertwined to form the most primitive order of this world.
Krasic 'Martial Saint body turned to ashes and vanished with the wind, covering the land of the Zenit Empire.
His death mirrored his life: from humble beginnings to the moment people remembered his name, he dedicated himself to the peace of Zenit. Whether it was the tumultuous bloodshed twenty-six years ago or the solitary life of guarding Martial Saint Mountain for twenty years without participating in imperial politics, Krasic devoted his entire life to Zenit —the country he deeply loved.
Perhaps because they knew that the decisive Martial Saint Battle, which would determine the fate of the empire, was taking place tonight atop Martial Saint Mountain, there were many fires in the capital city below the mountain, with thousands of households brightly lit. Even the annexed state-run area twenty miles away from the capital was a scene of dazzling lights and a night-long spectacle.
But will these people truly remember forever that a Martial Saint died fighting for them atop Jianfeng Peak?
Sun Fei faintly heard cheers coming from below the mountain, and a smile he himself didn't understand appeared on his lips. Were they cheering for the earth-shattering power of Emperor Yassin's Dragon Fist?
However, King Majesty the King quickly recovered from this negative emotion.
" Huntelaar and his two companions were blasted off the griffin by [ Dragon Fist ] and fell into the capital. Given their strength, they must not be dead. They've probably hidden somewhere by now... I will find these three one by one, and they must die!"
Sun Fei looked down at the four ten-centimeter-long, emerald-green magic stone spikes in his hand. These were the spikes that Krasic used to cast the [ Dou Qi Channel Revitalization and Surge Forbidden Technique ], but Krasic turned to ashes, and Sun Fei kept these four crystal-clear, green-glowing spikes.
"I will drive these four green thorns, one by one, into the hearts of Huntelaar, Costacurta, and Amauri, making them bleed every last drop of blood... I will drive them into the hearts of the Ajax, Eindhoven, and Spartak royal families, making them pay the price for their complacency!"
Sun Fei suddenly raised his head and let out a long roar to the sky.
"Once I have mastered martial arts, I will not tolerate any war or violence in any territory where Krasic's ashes have been scattered!"
Sun Fei returned the way he came. When he arrived at the battlefield, his expression had completely returned to calm, without a trace of anger or pent-up emotions.
Besides the forty experts from Martial Saint Mountain, there were also experts from vassal states who remained here.
Originally, twenty-five experts from vassal states were fortunate enough to qualify to watch the battle atop Sword Peak of Martial Saint Mountain. However, two of them withdrew before reaching the summit because they were unable to cross the iron chain suspension bridge over the petal peak. Two others died in the previous battle against the Spartak warriors. Six others chose to stand with the eldest princess and the second prince and left with them earlier. Although [ One Sword ] did not join the two princes' camp, he also quietly left at some point. Therefore, only fifteen of the twenty-five experts from vassal states remained.
Among these fifteen people are the arrogant and unbelievable [ Silver-Armored Berserker ], the Magic Princess who amazes at first sight, and the [ Wind and Fire Dual Supreme Staff ] Kanute and Hulk from the ancient barbarian Kingdom of Gudong, among other masters who made it into the top ten.
Seeing that the Martial Saint Krasic had not returned with King Chambord, everyone's faces immediately turned solemn and sorrowful. In fact, they had already guessed the answer when they saw Krasic coughing up blood and staggering, but now that their guess had come true, everyone still couldn't help but feel waves of grief. Perhaps the people of the vassal states could better understand the true significance of the Imperial Martial Saint's existence. Without Krasic guarding Martial Saint Mountain, many vassal states might already be engulfed in war.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Alexander!" Upon seeing Sun Fei's return, the forty experts from Martial Saint Mountain knelt down in unison. "We obey the orders of the Martial Saint and from this day forward, we are willing to serve Your Majesty!"
Sun Fei was slightly taken aback, but then he understood.
This must have been an arrangement made before the final battle with Martial Saint Krasic. It also made me understand the meaning of Krasic's words, "After tonight, there will be no more Martial Saints on Martial Saint Mountain." Indeed, this arrangement made Martial Saint Mountain an empty mountain from then on, leaving no trace of Krasic!
Among the forty martial arts masters from Martial Saint Mountain, the strongest was that ordinary-looking young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Sun Fei was surprised to find that this person's strength was actually at the Seven-Star Class Pinnacle, almost reaching the eight-star level. Considering his apparent age, he was truly an extraordinary genius, even far surpassing [ One Sword ], [ Magic Princess ], and others. The others were between the Four-Star Class and Six-Star Class, with four masters above the Six-Star Class.
Within the Zenit Empire, such a group of experts would be an absolutely terrifying force.
Sun Fei never dreamed that the Martial Saint Krasic would entrust such a force to him. How would Emperor Yassin and the powerful noble families react to controlling a force capable of threatening the safety of the Dao Empire?
However, given His King's habit of licking an ice cream stick at least ten times after eating one, he naturally wouldn't refuse such a generous gift delivered to his door. He simply waved his hand and took the forty people under his wing. Since it was arranged by Martial Saint Krasic, Sun Fei had no need to doubt whether there was any trickery involved, nor did he doubt the loyalty of these people. Krasic had been stationed at Martial Saint Mountain for twenty-six years; if he couldn't even solve this kind of problem, then he would truly become a joke.
Sun Fei never doubted Krasic.
Therefore, he had no doubt about these forty Martial Saint Mountain.
This scene caused the other experts from the vassal states, besides Čech, Elena, and other experts from Chambord City, to slightly change color.
King of Chambord was already terrifying and powerful enough, but in this Martial Saint Battle today, Alexander single-handedly withstood the Moon Class expert Costacurta for a full ten minutes without being at a disadvantage. As for the others, even [ Magic Princess ], Shevchenko, and [ One Sword ], they couldn't even get into the fray. A wisp of wind from their clashes could seriously injure them or even turn them into corpses!
If anyone previously thought that Sun Fei's easy victory was due to Shevchenko and [ One Sword ]'s disastrous semi-final battles, which depleted their strength and allowed Sun Fei to capitalize on it, then only a fool would hold such a thought now. After today's battle, even the arrogant [ One Sword ] had to admit that King of Chambord had far surpassed them. Any disputes had become a joke. At this moment, they didn't even have the right to look at King of Chambord's back.
For a time, only the experts from the various vassal states knew the feelings of melancholy and desolation they felt.
Everyone understands that with the help of these forty-odd experts from Martial Saint Mountain, King of Chambord can, without exaggeration, become a giant figure within the empire, second only to Emperor Yassin and on par with the two princes, Arshavin and Dominguez. From now on, the political the Storm Riders of the empire will change depending on any single thought of King of Chambord!
"Let's go too!"
Sun Fei turned his head and looked at the ruins that had been turned into ruins, the stone peak at the top of Sword Peak shattered. He firmly remembered this scene, and then walked down the path he had come from without looking back.
As the golden sun slowly climbed over the distant, layered mountains of the Moro Mountains, its dazzling light bathed the earth, and a new day finally dawned.
On this cold night that has just passed, everything that happened at the summit of Martial Saint Mountain has already begun to circulate among millions of people in the capital and its vassal states.
Ajax's foremost swordsman, Huntelaar, ambushed the Imperial Martial Saint, Krasic!
Eindhoven's top general, Costacurta, abandoned his honor to participate in the shameful conspiracy to besiege and assassinate the Imperial Warrior, Krasic!
A Starbucks Moon-level expert sneaks into the capital to assassinate the Imperial Martial Saint Krasich!
Crown Prince Gilano of Saint-Germain lends a helping hand to counter the evil plots of three empires!
King of Chambord held his own against Moon Class powerhouse!
Krasic, the Martial Saint, fought four opponents single-handedly and was invincible... Krasic slew Iaquinta, the Spartacus Martial Saint, and defeated Huntelaar, Costacurta, and Amauri... Krasic was mortally wounded and died in battle!!
Emperor Yassin unleashed a furious attack, unleashing a stunning [ Dragon Fist ] technique from within the palace. This attack blasted down three Moon Class powerhouses who were trying to escape on griffins like frightened birds. This scene thrilled countless Zenit citizens and shocked countless people with ulterior motives!
Various reports, which basically reconstructed everything that happened last night, quickly spread everywhere.
Sun Fei originally thought that the inside story of the Martial Saint Battle War involved some confidential information, and that the imperial authorities might use all means to cover it up. However, he did not expect the news to spread so quickly. Apart from the relief of people's curiosity and the fact that this battle was already attracting nationwide attention, Sun Fei had no doubt that there must have been official forces pushing things along.
Why would the imperial authorities so openly disclose such a confidential matter?
It's important to understand that during this turbulent time of war with the Spartak Empire, the empire's situation was already in turmoil. Currently, on the empire's southern borders, the young " God of War " Arshavin was engaged in a fierce battle with the invading Spartak Empire army. After an initial series of victories, Arshavin had almost driven the invaders out of the country. However, it is said that Spartak later dispatched their top general, Marchisio, who somewhat stabilized the situation and gradually formed a counterweight to the Zenit army. The situation was far from optimistic.
Second update, more to come.
