I watched the battle between Kanos and the Swordsman of Misery a few days ago. Perhaps because the venue was relatively small, Chai Anping had never seen Kanos's move.
The move similar to "Serial Slash" is extremely powerful. Once it is turned, it is so fast that you can't get close.
While Chai Anping was dodging and thinking, the sword with both hands struck again.
"Huh? Have you retained your strength?"
Chai Anping's eyes flashed, and he immediately drew his sword and faced him.
The two long swords slashed together wildly, and for a moment the sound of iron was heard.
The fierce fighting quickly drained Chai Anping's physical strength, and the armor he was originally wearing began to become heavy. On the other hand, Kanos, who was only 16 this year, still looked energetic. Chai Anping couldn't help but secretly cursed the monster.
.
Even with the pseudo-buff of charged cake, my physical strength is still no match!
His whole body was sweating under the armor.
He finally understood the suffering that the Suffering Swordsman suffered in the ring.
"We can't continue fighting."
Chai Anping raised his eyebrows, made up his mind, and slashed Kanos away with a sword. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and watched Kanos's movements carefully.
"Hey!"
Kanos was in the mood to fight. He forced him back with one move and immediately stabbed Chai Anping straight at Chai Anping with his long sword standing on his chest.
The two-handed sword has fewer moves, including wide opening and closing, but if used well, every move and every move is difficult to parry.
Chai Anping turned around and slapped it crookedly with his sword, and then his armor directly pressed against the spine of the sword.
"Innocent!"
When Kanos saw this, he let out a roar, his waist sank and he hit him with a whip leg.
Chai Anping wasn't surprised or annoyed. He had already rehearsed Kanos's attack before getting close.
The one-handed sword was pointed vertically downward, knocking against the sole of Kanos's shoe. The blade of the sword was at a certain angle, causing Chai Anping's body to stagger again with a powerful and heavy kick.
"not good……!"
Kanos's hair went cold, he let go of his sword and turned around to hug Chai Anping, who was almost face to face with him.
"late!"
Chai Anping grinned, and with one wrong step, he almost spun around in Kanos's arms. The one-handed sword that had been knocked aside immediately slashed fiercely at Kanos' neck.
Kanos's eyes widened, and he hugged Chai Anping with his arms. However, Chai Anping's sword blade had already stopped on his neck, which was protected by the iron sheet!
Two rough fingers were holding his one-handed sword. Chai Anping felt a little depressed for a moment. He tried to pull out the sword, but he still couldn't pull the sword out from those two fingers.
Old Reese!
"Winner, Gracie Shelley!"
He smiled and separated the two people who were hugging each other. Kanos, who was still a little angry at first, was horrified to find that there were a few clear finger marks on his precious gold-patterned armor...
"You can duel, but you have to have the courage to admit defeat, you brat!" Old Reese obviously knew Kanos. He laughed and scolded him angrily and then slapped his helmet: "If I hadn't stopped you, your head would have been damaged.
Gone!"
His eyes signaled Kanos to roll down, and Old Reese turned his attention to Chai Anping, who was twisting his arms: "You are very good, have you been on the battlefield?"
"Uh...no."
Chai Anping shook his head when he heard this: "I figured it out all by myself."
"Oh?" The wrinkles on Old Reese's face relaxed: "Which family are you a child of?"
Hearing the old man's tone, Chai Anping couldn't help but feel nervous: "I'm from the countryside, and I just came to the capital recently."
"Ah...then where did you learn from him?"
"Ahem!" Sir William coughed, stroking his beard and came to the rescue: "Old Reese, host the game, don't just ask questions!"
"Yes, the winner of this duel is officially announced, Gracie Shelley!" Old Reese slapped his forehead and announced again in a loud voice, and the noble gentlemen who were watching exclaimed and praised.
"Heroes come from young men!"
"Isn't this man an alchemist?"
"Yeah, haven't you heard that he also signed up to participate in this year's Glory Competition?"
"Hey - then this is a big dark horse, I have to place some bets on him."
Old Reese raised Chai Anping's arm high, and everyone gave warm applause for this wonderful duel.
On the other side, Kanos, the initiator and loser of the challenge, sat next to his sister with a frustrated look on his face, hammering at a piece of leg armor he had removed.
The initiator of the duel was very embarrassed when he lost the duel, so even though Kashina was angry, she comforted him with gentle words.
Things like "It's not a shame to lose to Mr. Shelley. You are only 16 years old. Your Highness, Lux, will definitely not look down on you." These words make Kanos's heart ache with anger.
"Sister, stop talking, I was wrong..."
Chai Anping returned to the shed and took off his heavy armor with the help of Lux. The strong smell of sweat immediately rushed out from the iron knots. Chai Anping couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, I can do it myself."
"It's okay. I often help my brother remove his armor and I've long been used to it." Lux said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Mr. Shelley, to be able to beat Kanos. I'm really impressed..."
"Haha... a narrow win."
Chai Anping couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. There was already a simple piece of paper of unknown material lying quietly in his storage space.
Crisis averted!
"I don't look like I won by a narrow margin." Lux gave him a meaningful look: "I heard others say that if you didn't kick Kanos away at the beginning, but slashed with your sword, you would have won by then.
.”
"Everyone says that the best soldier on the battlefield is just like this."
"Hmm..." Chai Anping looked at Lux and thought deeply: "Has my strength, the best in the world, been exposed?!"
"Hmph! Smooth talk!" Lux rolled her eyes: "There is a bathroom behind the church, do you want to clean it up?"
"Haha, forget it." Chai Anping took the suit jacket she handed over: "Today's party should be almost over, and all the things that need to be done are almost done. I can just go home."
Unfortunately, he made little profit from this duel, but the nobleman who opened the market made a lot of money. He even came over with a deacon from the Illuminator to express his gratitude to him, saying that part of the money would be used by him.
Nominal donation.
However, Chai Anping was very satisfied with being able to fight against an equally matched opponent - he had indeed become much stronger!
"Then let's leave together!" Lux nodded: "Although this incident caused a lot of trouble today, it finally helped me out...I think what will be spread in the capital tomorrow will not be that Kanos is jealous for me, but that Kanos is jealous for me.
He had a wonderful battle with Mr. Shelley."
"Don't hit me anymore?" Chai Anping was surprised.
