Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Powerful bows and crossbows pierced the sky, shooting out to intercept the streak of light.
but--
Boom boom boom boom!
The aura of Dou Qi surged, and the crossbow bolts, powerful enough to pierce steel plates and armor, were shattered like cardboard and foam by a casual wave of the superior expert in the sky. The terrifying residual Dou Qi continued to slam into the ground, and amidst screams, large numbers of soldiers were instantly killed...
This is an Council of Elders Guardian, a powerful individual whose strength has reached the Moon Class.
"Hahaha, after the Battle of Saint Petersburg, almost all of the Empire's Moon Class experts have perished. Now, only my Council of Elders still has Moon Class experts to protect us. Hahaha, Arshavin, Dominguez, I'd like to see how you two heartless brats, with your mere ordinary soldiers, manage to stop my Moon Class experts!"
From the tower atop the fortress came the triumphant laughter of the Council of Elders' Chairman.
"Tonight, I will turn all of Saint Petersburg into a living Hell, and make this capital of the Andrei family a laughingstock and a part of history. Anyone who wants to protect the King of Chambord will pay the price with their life, and the royal family will be no exception. Watching all the lowly people of the city wail and bleed, ha ha ha!"
Accompanied by a ferocious laugh, the streak of light in the sky, swift as lightning, was about to fly out of the encirclement.
Magic crossbow bolts continued to be fired from the ground, but they posed little threat to the Moon Class expert.
From a distance, [ Red Beard ] Granero, clad in silver armor and overseeing the battle, witnessed this scene and his expression turned furious. "Damn it! This Senate is indeed harboring treacherous intentions. During the defense of Saint Petersburg, when the Empire was on the verge of collapse, we never saw a single Moon Class expert fight. They were actually preserving their strength, which shows they've long harbored rebellious intentions. Hmph, such a cancer on the Empire should have been eradicated long ago!"
In the blink of an eye, it seemed the Council of Elders were about to break free from the encirclement.
Just then, a golden sword light, graceful as a startled swan and agile as a swimming dragon, pierced the sky and vanished in a flash.
Bang!
The Senate Moon Class expert was pierced by the sword light, turning into a rain of blood, his severed limbs and internal organs falling to the ground.
On the fortress tower, the Council of Elders ' smile froze on his face.
"What is that?" The golden sword light felt like ice water being poured over him, chilling him to the bone.
But then, seemingly out of nowhere, two figures, one tall and one short, appeared in the sky more than 300 meters away.
The superior man was elegant and graceful, with a tall and upright figure, full of heroic spirit, handsome face, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, slender body, and a calm aura. His golden armor made his Demon God -like body even more perfect, as if a blazing Sun appeared in the sky, giving people a feeling that he could not look up to.
It was none other than Chris Sutton, one of the former Ten Judgment Knight, who had left the Imperial Knights' Hall and was now cultivating martial arts in seclusion on the Imperial Martial Saint Mountain Sun Golden Knight Mountain.
Beside Sutton stood a young boy with a delicate face and noble bearing. Dressed in light armor, he exuded a formidable aura as he looked down at the battle on the ground.
"You scoundrel! You're worse than a pig or a dog, a despicable wretch! How dare you slander my master like this?" the boy shouted angrily.
The sound rolled like thunder, resounding throughout the entire battlefield, filled with an unquestionable nobility. The soldiers on both sides felt their ears buzzing and their minds racing.
People were greatly surprised and gasped.
The boy looked extremely young, like a child, but the sound of him wielding a hoe was like a thunderclap, revealing his extraordinary strength. His shout was awe-inspiring.
"Ah, it's Luffy, the disciple of the Martial Saint!" An officer from the Imperial Capital Public Security Office recognized the boy in the sky and exclaimed in surprise.
A wave of cheers immediately erupted from the Iron-Blooded Camp and the Imperial Capital Public Security Office's troops.
"Lord Sutton is invincible!"
" Sun Golden Knight! Sun Golden Knight!"
" Luffy is fighting alongside us! Brothers, kill them! Kill these scum who slandered the Guardian Martial Saint!"
"Kill! Uphold the Glory of the Empire! Lord Alexander the Martial Saint is with us!"
Thunderous cheers filled the air, boosting the soldiers' morale. Chris Sutton's courage and fighting spirit, displayed during the Battle of Saint Petersburg, had long made him an idol for the entire Zenit army. As a warrior praised by King of Chambord Alexander, the Guardian Martial Saint, and a hero who had fought alongside King of Chambord, his arrival greatly inspired morale. Although Luffy was young, he was the youngest son of " One Sword " and a disciple of the Guardian Martial Saint. His arrival was like the personal presence of King of Chambord the Martial Saint, a tremendous Glory for the soldiers.
The soldiers launched a fearless Charge, unleashing a terrifying attack on the Council of Elders's fortress, and in the blink of an eye, the walls began to crumble.
"I'll do it!"
With a loud shout, Luffy jumped straight down from the sky.
He didn't have the strength of Moon Class being. He was able to freeze in the void just now because of the help of the Sun Golden Knight. But now he suddenly jumped down from a height of 100 meters, which startled everyone. With a loud bang, dust rose up from the ground and stones flew everywhere, as if a huge boulder weighing 10,000 jin had crashed to the ground. The surrounding soldiers instinctively backed away.
Even someone made of iron would be broken from falling like that, right?
Did Luffy lose his mind from anger after hearing the Council of Elders Chairman insult his master?
Just as everyone was wondering, they heard two whooshing sounds, and two huge fists shot out from the dust and slammed into the iron gate of the fortress like cannonballs.
With a thunderous roar, the thick iron door shattered like foam under the impact of those two cannon-like fists.
What a pair of iron fists! They're practically indestructible.
On and below the city walls, everyone gaped, their faces filled with disbelief, as if they had witnessed a monster or a miracle.
The power of the iron fist was only a small part of the reason why everyone was so shocked.
What truly astonished everyone was that after Luffy threw the punch, he remained standing in the crater. He wasn't a single scratch on his body, as if he hadn't been the one who had been smashed to the ground. The hardness of his body surpassed even divine weapons. And his arms... his arms were like dragon tendons, able to stretch out incredibly far, extending nearly twenty meters, completely exceeding the proportion of a normal human arm. With his fists, he smashed the heavy iron gate of the fortress into pieces.
Just as everyone fell into a deathly silence, Luffy chuckled heartily. His arms, like springs, constantly changed length and shape, stretching and contracting at will, displaying extreme freedom. In the blink of an eye, he drew a series of fist shadows in the air, slamming them heavily onto the city wall.
Rumble!!!!
The thick, sturdy stone wall collapsed like grains of sand in the wind, and dust filled the sky.
"What... what kind of fist technique is this?" Everyone was incredulous, even the Sun Golden Knight Chris Sutton in the sky couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Here's a little joke: The wife looked at the knife scar on her neck and said, "Well, now I'm a real 'knife-wife'!"
Thank you brothers for your understanding during this time. I've updated three times tonight, and I'll try to update more tomorrow.
Update complete, I need to hurry and find a car to go to the countryside.
