After finding out clearly that the duel between the two was not a battle of grudges, but a fight of life and death, the bosses showed great enthusiasm for the duel.
Except for some intellectuals who didn't like fighting and killing, everyone else followed the attendant who was responsible for arranging the duel and moved to the open space next to the church.
A few middle-aged men in extraordinary clothes even brought from somewhere a pair of lightweight armor suitable for Chai Anping's size, as well as two unedged long swords.
"Everyone, since everyone is interested, I will open a market to add to the fun - all the profits from this market will be donated to the cult, and the losses will be mine alone!"
A big, pot-bellied noble started shouting in the crowd before the fight even started.
"Come on, Ah Fu, record the gambling money of all the gentlemen and ladies. Yeah, yes - you can pay on credit. After all, who comes out to bring so much money."
Chai Anping, who was changing clothes in a temporary shed, vaguely heard the bustling sounds outside, and couldn't help but secretly scorned him, "Why don't you give me some labor fees when you open the market!"
This kind of lively gambling battle is quite popular among the nobles. Now that it is a game and it can help the church, they are all happy to add some luck.
"Brother Lasse, should we also place some bets?"
"That's natural." Russell Arnold smiled slightly: "Anyway, even if we lose, we are still helping our poor people."
"Then who should we bet on?"
"Let's put aside the fact that we don't know Gracie Shelley. Although this guy Kanos has a brain problem, his skills are indeed outstanding among our generation. Naturally, we will vote for him!"
Chai Anping had personally seen the battle between Kanos and the Swordsman of Tribulation. The two were evenly matched in strength and had no strength to hide. Therefore, he had some idea of Kanos' true strength and agreed to this outrageous duel.
Mainly because he wanted to take advantage of the [Noble Lady’s Impulse], and secondly, he found that Kanos was a good opponent to test his progress during this period.
After taking the Hard Stone Potion and the Light Potion one after another, his strength has been greatly improved. In terms of strength alone, it is definitely not comparable to the whirring Kanos who swings the sword with both hands, but his speed
Definitely faster than him!
Speaking of which, Chai Anping is somewhat similar to the Suffering Swordsman. They both follow a smart route. The only difference is... Chai Anping has magic power and can copy [Charging Cake] to give himself an unlimited buff!
Isn’t this comfortable!?
Chai Anping was a little regretful that he often flirted with Giles these days, but unfortunately he never managed to steal a treasure like [Swordsmanship Experience] again.
Putting on a mighty suit of armor, Chai Anping tried to perform several difficult movements, and unexpectedly found that this armor would not affect the accuracy of his movements, but it would only consume more physical energy.
"This is much better than the iron knots of the palace guards."
After strolling out of the shed, the attendant led him to the temporarily designated venue.
"Both parties have entered the scene!"
Chai Anping looked around. The circular venue had been surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. They were all filled with dignitaries.
Kanos, who was opposite him, looked very pleased with himself. He was wearing gold-patterned armor, which was still very eye-catching even in the night.
With lights set up all around, a burly old man known as "Old Rees" stood in the center of the field and read out the rules of the game.
"I will be the referee of this match! Because both sides are wearing armor, there is no strike score. The decisive method will be decided by me as to whether it is a fatal attack, or whether one party actively chooses to surrender!"
The knight's duel method is more brutal, but the blade is unopened, so unless he is a strong man with natural supernatural power, he will not be able to cut through the steel directly and kill his opponent.
"Any objection?"
Chai Anping glanced at the old man's burly body. Although he didn't know his identity, so many people didn't speak, so he shook his head.
"In this case, the duel officially begins!"
Old Reese waved his arm and quickly left the stage.
"Hmph, you still have some courage!"
Kanos grabbed a broad-bladed sword with both hands and rushed towards him, sneering in his mouth.
Chai Anping took a deep breath, his eyes bursting with a desperate desire for victory, and the blood of the warrior that had been silent after leaving the Pioneer Illusion was about to move.
The heavy armor on his body and the narrow field of vision in the helmet made Chai Anping feel like he was back on the battlefield!
"Ah……"
He slowly exhaled the stagnant air in his chest, and then suddenly let out a loud cry.
"Qiang!"
The two long swords collided in the air. Chai Anping gritted his teeth and plowed back more than ten centimeters of traces under his feet.
Holding the hilt of the sword tightly with his glove, the one-handed sword turned to guide the two-handed sword to one side. Chai Anping used his gauntlet to block the pressure of the sword and went up.
The one-handed sword was dexterously raised from bottom to top, and a handful of sparks exploded from the guard.
Kanos's pupils shrank slightly, and his reaction was also very fast. His sword was pointed downwards, and he immediately flipped his wrist, and also used the guard to hold the one-handed sword back!
"Click..."
The two training sword guards made an overwhelming crunching sound, and the steel extending forward broke.
Chai Anping raised his knee without hesitation, and the knee with the diamond-shaped leggings hit Kanos's lower abdomen hard. Kanos was caught off guard and screamed in pain, retreating repeatedly, and a small pit was dented on the abdomen of the pale gold armor.
The advantage of wearing armor is that you can fully use your body to attack!
Chai Anping's instinctive movements made the generals who were retreating from the battlefield brighten their eyes. Chai Anping was unyielding and stepped directly between Kanos' legs.
The raised hilt of the one-handed sword hit Kanos' head hard.
"Boom!"
Kanos was not paying attention for a moment, and his foot was tripped by Chai Anping, and he immediately fell and fell over.
"Hum...uh..."
Chai Anping kicked Kanos, who was lying on the ground, away with another kick.
"What a sharp and concise method!" Old Reese praised: "The game has not yet decided, let's continue!"
He, who originally wasn't too interested in this competition, started to show some interest.
"Will you continue like this?"
Chai Anping, who originally thought he would win directly with the three-axe, glanced at Old Reese, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking again, he raised his sword again. On the other side, Kanos, who had been rolling around in embarrassment for a few times, had already gotten up angrily.
After all, he is a person who often fights with others. After suffering a bad loss, Kanos did not say anything "despicable", but rushed over again, even harder than the last time!
The two-handed sword slashed horizontally. Chai Anping frowned and moved sideways, not choosing to confront him head-on.
The giant blade blew up a strong wind. Kanos slashed the air with his sword. He turned around and slashed horizontally with his sword. Chai Anping retreated again.
“The body loses even if it leaves the field!”
Seeing that Chai Anping was about to exit the third step, Old Reese reminded him in time.
"Gan!"
Upon hearing this, Chai Anping immediately got down from his horse, holding a long sword like a shield. He held the long sword diagonally, with his left hand resting on the horizontal spine of the sword. Because he squatted down, the sword raised above his head happened to meet the second sword.
Three more powerful consecutive cuts.
"Squeak——"
With a heartbreaking sound of metal friction, the two-handed sword soared into the sky from the sword spine raised diagonally.
Chai Anping's face turned red, and the trembling sword caused severe pain in his mouth. He had already covered his hands with the magic power of the healing potion in advance, but he did not expect that the strength of this girl was beyond his expectation.
He couldn't stand up and fight back as he originally expected, so he could only hide in the opposite direction of Kanos's slash.
Fortunately, Kanos was also distracted by him, and the fight was evenly matched.
"Nima, the knight's physique...isn't it a bit outrageous?"
