"Haha, you're here just in time! I've been waiting for you for ages!"
Sun Fei had actually anticipated from the beginning that this guy would eventually show up. An assassin hiding in the shadows is what's worrying; once exposed to the light, the original threat disappears. So, seeing this, he was not surprised but delighted, laughing loudly. At this moment, he quietly activated the Barbarian skill [ Leap ] that he had prepared beforehand. With a push off his iron boots, he leaped into the air amidst flying stone chips. He gripped the Barbarian giant axe tightly with both hands, concentrated all his strength, and fiercely cleaved the axe down in mid-air, facing the red flames of Dou Qi aura!
Sizzle!
A barely audible sound, like someone quietly tearing a thin piece of paper.
Compared to the magnificent and imposing fiery slash that blotted out the sky by the three-star swordsman Lang, Sun Fei's axe strike lacked any special aura; it was like a woodcutter swinging his axe.
But to everyone's astonishment, the five or six-meter-long red Dou Qi flame, which seemed capable of Armageddon, suddenly and inexplicably split in two under the force of this axe, grazing past Sun Fei's body before exploding with a deafening roar and completely dissipating into the air.
At the same time, very quickly--
Ding ding ding ding!
Mars flew as the two exchanged blows in mid-air at lightning speed, their metallic clashes accompanied by a flurry of Mars. Then, with a roar, they were both sent flying backward...
Thump thump thump!
After landing, the two of them took a few steps backward, their breathing slightly rapid.
In that lightning-fast aerial exchange, both fighters displayed their exceptional skills. The three-star swordsman, Lang De, relying on his exquisite swordsmanship, unleashed twenty-eight consecutive thrusts like a phantom, while Sun Fei, due to the cumbersome nature of his weapon, only managed to retaliate with six axe strikes, spending most of the time barely managing to parry with the massive axe blade...
Neither of them managed to leave a mark on the other.
After regaining their footing, Sun Fei and Langde couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Although Langde maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, he was inwardly deeply shaken.
He began to rush forward when he received the first bugle call from the Silver-Masked Man, but because his side had too many routed soldiers, and Sun Fei and others were advancing too fast, Langde did not make it through until the tower shield dragon spear formation was broken, and even after the swordsman formation and javelin formation were broken, and the siege ladders and catapults were almost all destroyed.
Upon finally arriving at the heart of the battle, Langde recognized almost immediately the unstoppable figure at the forefront, his blood-soaked armor gleaming red. It was undoubtedly the 'beast' that had wounded him on the city wall the day before. That beastly aura had left a deep impression on him, and even now it still made him hesitant to step forward immediately.
Therefore, Langde did not hesitate to lower himself to the status of Three-Star Warrior, sneaking around in the shadows to launch a surprise attack.
Originally intending to take down his opponent with a surprise attack using [ Explosive Flame Slash ], he was surprised to find that the 'beast' seemed to have been prepared all along. Facing such an attack, it remained completely calm, simply leaping into the air and, incredibly, using pure physical strength, disrupted the airflow with a single axe strike, thus breaking his signature Dou Qi technique, [ Explosive Flame Slash ].
What kind of physical power is that?!
During their aerial exchange just now, Langde felt the ferocity of his opponent's power, which seemed to have increased by one or two times compared to their fight yesterday. One Sword time his sword struck that giant axe, which was as big as a door panel, the force of the recoil made his arm go numb, as if he were stabbing into ancient, cold steel.
After landing, Langde dared not be careless at all. He raised his strength to its peak, and his body was covered in fiery red Dou Qi aura flames. He removed the soreness and numbness in his arms and was ready for battle.
Meanwhile, after their exchange, Sun Fei seemed to have some thoughts on his mind.
In terms of physical strength, a level 12 Barbarian is absolutely capable of contending with the Dou Qi power of Three-Star-Rank Warrior. However, they are lacking in skill. Sun Fei keenly observed that although Barbarian are known as melee experts in the Diablo World and are proficient in various weapons, they do not seem to have developed complete martial arts techniques and moves. Apart from those incredible special skills, in close combat, they are slightly inferior to the exquisite moves of the warriors of the Azeroth Continent.
"It seems I'll need to work on my techniques and moves from now on."
While thinking to himself, Sun Fei didn't stop for a moment. He slammed his giant axe against his armor, making a clanging sound, as if striking the enemy's heart. Then, with an air of arrogance, he roared to the sky, " God of War above!" The axe blade transformed into a glittering Metal Storm, swirling towards Langde.
Ding ding ding ding--!
The crisp, metallic clanging sound rang out again.
Langde's sword speed far surpassed Sun Fei's, but his strength was inferior. When Sun Fei swung his axe, Langde's longsword turned into countless cold stars, repeatedly stabbing the tree at the same spot on the axe blade to deflect the terrifying force of the axe.
This is an ultimate clash between two different forces.
A brute force, seemingly clumsy yet skillful, possessing the power to destroy everything in its path.
A delicate and intricate technique, with a sharp, cold glint, capable of unleashing seventeen or eighteen sword strikes in an instant.
The three-star swordsman Langde displayed his full strength. His battle aura circulated like the low growl of a wild beast, booming and rumbling. The overflowing red energy flew around like arrows, turning the entire stone bridge surface into a flurry of stone chips.
In the end, smoke and stone chips were constantly blown up by the energy emanating from the battle, filling the air and even mixing with blood and severed limbs from the ground. They swirled and roared, forming a red mist column that shot into the sky. From a distance, it looked like a blood-red tornado that was constantly howling and growing stronger.
The blood-red tornado roared and grew so powerfully that it completely enveloped the two figures. Only the constant Mars of metal and the deafening roar could be heard emanating from within, making it impossible for those outside to see their movements or figures.
This battle was incredibly fierce.
A blood-red tornado cleaved the entire bridge in two. Neither Pierce and Drogba on the north side nor the black-clad warriors on the south side could get involved in the battle. They could only push each other away from the sidelines, waiting in tense and frantic heartbeats for the two sides fighting in the circle to determine the victor.
Having gained a respite, the panicked black-clad army gradually began to stabilize. Some officers shouted orders and tried to organize the soldiers to redeploy. The supervisors, carrying large swords, beheaded more than twenty fleeing soldiers and displayed their heads high on their spears, finally regaining their footing.
This scene greatly pleased Langde, the three-star swordsman who was locked in a fierce battle with Sun Fei. He shouted, "I'll hold this guy off! Send a few experts over to quickly eliminate the rest!"
The sheer force of their battle was astonishing, blocking the entire bridge. Ordinary soldiers couldn't cross at all; the overflowing energy would instantly shred them, armor, and weapons into pieces. However, for some masters of Dou Qi qi, leaping across in mid-air was still possible. Hearing Langde's shout, several officers eager to make a name for themselves immediately leaped into the air, attempting to bypass the two combatants and eliminate Pierce and his men.
"Get the hell back here!"
Upon seeing this, Sun Fei let out an angry shout.
A terrifying surge of power instantly roared out, shaking the souls of every enemy.
The Barbarian's ability [ Howl ] activates instantly.
The [Howl] skill, now upgraded to level 5, is significantly more powerful than yesterday. Not only did it instill fear in the three-star swordsman Lang, slowing his swordplay, but it also instantly instilled boundless terror in the four black-armored military officers who were leaping into the air. Their battle qi circulation faltered slightly, and they fell from the sky with screams, caught in the 'blood tornado,' and were shredded into pieces by Sun Fei's great axe!
Hiss--!
A collective gasp swept across the stone bridge. With a single angry shout, he had instantly slain four Black Armor Army officers whose Dou Qi was nearly at the One-Star Warrior. This display nearly made the soldiers on both sides bite their tongues off. The black-clad soldiers' ranks faltered again, and many felt their legs go weak...
"Don't be afraid, just a few more over. The master has ordered that for every enemy killed on the stone bridge, the reward is 1000 gold coins..."
With a flurry of thirty-three sword strikes, Langde suppressed Sun Fei and continued to urge the black-clad officers on. "A generous reward will surely bring forth brave men," he said. At this moment, the true strength of the Black Armor Army was revealed. Upon hearing of the reward of 1,000 gold coins, dozens more black-clad officers who had mastered rudimentary Dou Qi qi leaped into the air and pounced on Pierce, Drogba, and the others.
"Die--!!"
Sun Fei roared, unleashing a terrifying surge of mental power as he activated the Barbarian skill [ Howl ] once more.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh--!
Five or six more officers fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot, their screams echoing as they were torn to shreds. However, the three-star swordsman Langde reacted quickly, unleashing a powerful samurai skill, [Explosive Flame Slash]. The blazing red flames obscured everything, suppressing Sun Fei's power. Finally, seven or eight officers successfully crossed the 'Crimson Tornado' column of air, grinning as they pounced on Pierce and the others.
Instantly, Pierce and Drogba roared and charged at the black-clad military officers, and the two sides clashed.
These heavily armored strongmen, including Pierce and Drogba, did not possess any fighting spirit, and their killing skills and techniques were not as refined as those of the seasoned Black-Clad Military Governors. They were clearly no match for the Black-Clad Military Governors in a one-on-one fight. Fortunately, they had the advantage of numbers and the magical water from two water sacs, one red and one blue. In addition, they were all fearless and fought with a desperate, suicidal style. Moreover, there was a one-star warrior named Oleg among them who could hold out for a while, and for a time, the outcome of the battle was decided.
However, casualties inevitably occurred at this point.
A military officer in black dodged the strongman's giant axe, his longsword darting like a venomous snake along the seams of the armor and piercing through the strongman's abdomen...
Having suffered such an injury, the strongman's body stiffened, and he clearly wouldn't live much longer.
But before the black-clad military officer could even draw his sword with a sneer, he was horrified to see his opponent roar as he threw down his weapon, grabbing him tightly with both arms. The iron-like arms constricted the officer's vision, and before he could react, the heavily wounded strongman roared "Long live King Alexander!" and charged forward, carrying the officer towards the others. Amidst screams, he Avoid the other two officers, along with the man in his arms, off the stone bridge and into the river below, where they were instantly torn to pieces by the swarming, Bloodthirsty Fierce Water Beast...
This tactic of risking one's life for another, even to the point of mutual destruction, terrified the other military police officers in black.
" Breno!!!"
Pierce was heartbroken to see his brother, Breno, drown in the river. He roared in fury, took One Sword strike from his opponent, and then smashed the head of the black-clad officer he was fighting with into his chest with a vicious hammer blow.
The battle finally reached its climax, with casualties on both sides.
The autumn wind was bleak, and a somber atmosphere echoed between heaven and earth.
These strongmen may have been nobodies before, but at this moment, in the tragic and resolute leap into the river amidst Breno's shouts, they radiated the unparalleled brilliance of life!
Covered in blood, the strongmen used their only lives to build a Great Wall of flesh and blood on this ancient stone bridge, willing to die to protect their loved ones and homes.
Swords clashed, blood rained down.
The heroes' steps were heavy as mountains. Even when pierced by swords, even when their arms were severed, even when blood gushed from their helmets, they never retreated a single step. Their steps were firm, they pressed forward without hesitation, their eyes were resolute, and they shouted " Long Live the King!" They Charge towards opponents far stronger than themselves, fearlessly using their own flesh and blood to block the grinning enemies who had mastered Dou Qi and were intent on slaughtering them.
The intensity of the battle was beyond description. Gradually, the black-clad military officers were overwhelmed by the frenzied killing intent of this group of crazed opponents. They were even afraid to face this group of enemies who were much weaker than themselves. Terrified, they turned and ran...
At the top of Chambord City, countless people stood silently, tears welling in their eyes.
A raging fire burned in the eyes of every soldier and civilian. Their blood boiled uncontrollably, their hands trembled with rage, and some finally couldn't hold back any longer. With a roar, they threw down the rope and slid down the city wall to support their loved ones and brothers who were building a wall of flesh and blood on the bridge!
Sun Fei discovered all of this while locked in combat with the three-star swordsman Lang De.
Seeing the strongman named Breno leap into the Zuli River while carrying his enemy, an unprecedented grief welled up in Sun Fei Fei's heart, as if he had lost a loved one. He felt something burning intensely within him, and if he didn't release it soon, he would be reduced to ashes...
With a roar, Sun Fei suddenly turned around.
These twenty-two men were the ones he had brought from the city. Apart from Breno, who had already sacrificed himself, Sun Fei secretly vowed to bring the remaining twenty-one men back alive.
Unaware that Langde's longsword had pierced four or five gruesome wounds into his back, Sun Fei wielded his giant axe like Metal Storm, hacking the remaining black-clad military officers to pieces. He then roared to Pierce and the others, "Retreat... go back! Back to the city! Warriors, our mission is complete!"
but--
"We stand with King Alexander!"
This was the unanimous answer from the strongmen, without the slightest hesitation. Although some of them still had Broken Blade stuck in their bodies, their steel armor was riddled with shocking bloody holes, and some were barely standing with the help of their companions, their gazes were as firm as towering mountains, refusing to take a single step back.
My draft has been leaked; I wrote these 4,300 words this morning after getting up at six o'clock.
I'm now in a frenzy of writing; the absolute climax is about to arrive.
I'm desperately begging for your favorites and votes! I'm fighting Daozi and nail, brothers, please give me strength!
