In the distance, on a hill surrounded by the Ajax army, banners fluttered in the wind.
At some point, the person standing at the forefront under the banner of the commander was no longer Prince Fairenton, but someone else who had never appeared before.
He was of medium height and build, neither too thin nor too fat, wearing a long, fiery red robe. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he stood silently, gazing at the distant battlefield. A thin mist seemed to shroud him, obscuring his face. A breeze rustled his robes, creating a strange, almost surreal feeling, as if he were both a thousand miles away and right before their eyes, blurring the senses of space. Many Ajax generals nearby strained their eyes, trying to memorize his features, but no matter how hard they tried, just as they thought they remembered him, they would instantly forget everything about him.
Behind this red-clad figure stood not Fairenton.
Instead, it was another young man dressed in a light red robe. The older one was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with typical Ajax Shamo features: a full beard, long curly hair, high cheekbones, and eyes that gleamed like a hawk, occasionally flashing with a sharp light, yet never revealing their edge. He was like a precious sword sheathed, silent and composed. The other one was probably just twenty years old, much taller and broader than most Ajax people, with a fair face, a delicate yet somewhat sinister appearance, long, flowing golden hair, and emerald green eyes. He had a sharp edge and an aggressive aura.
These three men stood under the commander's banner, replacing the original position of Fairenton.
Meanwhile, Prince Fairenton stood respectfully behind the three of them, his expression filled with surprise and delight. Of course, deep in the prince's eyes, there was also a very complex emotion, which he concealed very well.
"I never imagined that such a small Twin Flag City would have so many experts." The older of the two, with a thick beard, nodded with a hint of surprise as he watched four figures leap down from the city gate and block his two junior brothers who had just passed by. "No wonder you, Junior Brother Fairenton, commanding an army of 70,000, have been held up here for five whole days."
"Senior Brother Murdoch, actually, the Zenit's top expert King of Chambord Alexander, hasn't made a move yet," Fairenton said respectfully, his eyes filled with longing as he looked at Murdoch. If Sun Fei were present, he would definitely recognize that the senior brother Fairenton mentioned in the commander's tent that day was none other than this man.
"Hmm, what kind of bullshit number one expert? I could crush him with one finger. Junior Brother Fairenton, you actually let these maggot-like Zenit trash stop you. You've really disgraced our Great Snow Mountain Holy Land." Another handsome and sinister young man in a light red robe chuckled, his tone full of disdain and arrogance.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Ajax generals behind Fairenton changed instantly, and they flew into a rage.
Fairenton, however, remained unmoved. He gently waved his hand to stop the generals behind him who were about to unleash their curses, then looked up with a faint smile and said unhurriedly, " King of Chambord Alexander, the number one expert among the Zenit people in the city, is not to be underestimated. His strength is indeed formidable. Although you, Senior Brother Doni, are a rare genius in the history of our Great Snow Mountain Holy Land, I'm afraid you may not be able to defeat King of Chambord smoothly!"
Upon hearing this, the sinister young man Doni's eyes flashed with a terrifying light. He turned and stared intently at Fairenton for a long time, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey. After a while, he suddenly sneered, "Are you trying to provoke me? Don't think I can't see through your tricks. Remember this well: your status as an imperial prince is worthless in my eyes. You'd better not try to play games. But, hehe, I'll make my move today and kill that so-called King of Chambord you mentioned. I'll let you know that you'll never be as good as me! Hmph!"
With that, Doni's figure flickered and he vanished from the spot in an instant.
Beneath the Twin Flag City.
The powerful gusts of wind from the clash of the ten masters had reached their most intense point.
"[ Scarlet Needle ]... The seventh needle!"
Amidst the bursting energy, Čech suddenly paused, his movements seemingly slow but actually swift, before pointing out with a finger.
In an instant, a distorted illusion appeared, disrupting one's perception of time and space. As if everything had stopped, the black metal finger guard on the tip of the right index finger continued to extend and lengthen, eventually becoming a long needle like the deadly stinger of a giant scorpion, which struck the shoulder of the Nine-Star Class Fire-Element Dou Qi master opposite him with the utmost precision.
"Damn it!" The expert who was fighting him changed his expression drastically, and his body stopped abruptly.
An unprecedented pain contorted even this Nine-Star Class expert's face, followed by an endless feeling of numbness, and even the flow of his Dou Qi throughout his body became sluggish.
He had already been hit by six needles before this.
Each of his opponent's Scarlet Needle brought him excruciating pain.
He could even feel that as the number of needles he received increased, his physical functions were declining and deteriorating at an alarming rate, as if he had aged a hundred years in an instant. This was a very strange and evil Dou Qi technique. Before this, he had never seen anyone practice his finger techniques to this extent. His opponent was clearly only at the Six-Star Class level, but every time he received a needle, he, with the strength of Nine-Star Class, could not dodge it.
"A perfect opportunity... Haha, Holy Sword Excalibur, slash!"
Pierce, with his white hair, laughed heartily and strode closer. His imposing, Demon God figure left trails of afterimages in the air, moving at an unbelievable speed. With a swing of his right arm, an indescribably Sharp Sword silently slashed towards the throat of the Nine-Star Class expert.
"Get out of my way!" The Nine-Star Class expert roared, frantically channeling his fiery battle Dou Qi to expel the intense pain and numbness, and then unleashed a merciless punch.
boom!
Pierce's massive body was sent flying by a single punch, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
However, that was all the injuries [ White-Haired Swift Sword ] sustained. His [ Scorpio Cloth ] reduced the destructive power of his opponent's punch by more than 40%, and his powerful body, enhanced by the [ Hulk Potion ], along with his peak Five-Star Class Peak Wind-Element Dou Qi, withstood the remaining damage.
In the instant he was blasted away, the [ Holy Sword Excalibur ] slashed out. Although it did not hit the vital area of the throat, it slashed hard on the opponent's shoulder. The power of the stars, combined with the indestructible destructive force of the Excalibur itself, actually broke through the Dou Qi defense of a Nine-Star Class expert, almost severing one of the opponent's arms, leaving a shocking wound with blood flying everywhere.
"[ Scarlet Needle ]... Eighth Needle!"
Čech and Pierce worked together seamlessly, and after a brief pause, they unleashed their unstoppable finger technique once again, blocking the Nine-Star Class expert's pursuit of Pierce.
Another battle group not far away.
The duo of Torres and Drogba faced another nine- Star Class expert, but the battle was even more brutal.
"[ Great Horn ]!"
Drogba roared, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.
His massive body crashed into things like a meteorite, as if committing suicide, refusing to relax even for a moment. Despite being repeatedly shattered by his opponent's powerful Nine-Star Class Fire-Element Dou Qi, he crashed back into them again and again at an even faster speed.
The effect of this mutually destructive fighting style was obvious – the Taurus Saint's ultimate move [ Great Horn ], which incorporated the power of the stars, also caused considerable damage to the Nine-Star Class expert on the other side. The recoil force penetrated the Dou Qi shield, which could be seen from the blood constantly flowing from the corner of the Nine-Star Class expert's mouth and his pale face.
Torres's figure seemed to melt into the air.
His speed was so fast that the naked eye could not even catch the trajectory of the [ Son of the Wind ]. Even Star Class expert could only see afterimages in the air. The silent arrows came from all impossible angles like a storm, drawing incredible arcs in the air and shooting at the vital parts of the Nine-Star Class expert's body!
Arrows imbued with the power of stars can easily pierce through an opponent's Fire-Element Dou Qi shield. At this moment, a broken arrow is already embedded in the back and right arm of the Nine-Star Class expert!
Protected by their Cloth, even Nine-Star Class expert couldn't kill Torres and Drogba in a single move. Yet, the attacks of these two low- Star-Rank Warrior could still harm him. He felt an indescribable sense of frustration towards the two Star-Rank Warrior fighting each other, like a lion being provoked by two mutts but unable to kill them.
The Twin Flag City.
Sun Fei's fingers tapped lightly on the city wall's battlements, like the beat of a drum.
The battle beneath the city walls ignited the passion of countless soldiers and deeply moved Sun Fei. Such a battle could truly be described as brutal!
Lampard and Elena fought to a standstill with their opponents, while Čech, Drogba, and the other three were clearly inferior in strength, yet they relied on an extremely fierce spirit to fight head-on. This mutually destructive fighting style easily led to injuries, and the four masters quickly perished on the city walls. However, this head-on clash was more likely to ignite the warriors' fighting spirit.
At this moment, the shouts of encouragement from the city walls reached their peak.
Even the nobles and guards who had previously been trembling with fear were now infected by this exhilarating scene and joined the frenzied shouting and roaring. They pounded their armor with their weapons, their palms slamming red against the city walls. Their bloodshot eyes and furious roars made it hard to believe that these guys had almost wet their pants in fear less than half an hour ago when they were terrified by the experts charging out from the opposing ranks.
"Well, that's about enough. Otherwise, if they keep fighting like this, the four of them might suffer too many injuries and need too much rest, which would affect the upcoming defense of the city..."
Sun Fei raised his eyebrows, and his fingers, which were tapping on the city wall, suddenly stopped. He was about to interrupt the battle below when, in the distance, a series of extremely terrifying energy fluctuations suddenly came from the Ajax army. A series of terrifying auras burst forth, surging over like a raging storm. The power of this aura far exceeded the level of Nine-Star Class.
Such incredible power!
