Episode 9: The Famous Under Heaven Chapter 4: The Slaughtering Knife
Linley turned his head to look at his brother and said with a smile, “Walden, this your strength is still a direct challenge, it looks very confident.”
Walden said confidently, “Don’t worry, brother, amongst the same class, who else are we Dragonblood Warriors afraid of?”
“One should have this confidence.”
Linley glanced at Brummer’s back in the distance as he disappeared around the corner, “This Brummer, just now I noticed that sword on him, it seems to be somewhat special.”
“Right, Brummer’s sword is very fast, back when the nominee disciples were selected, he was famous for his fast sword. However, when the sword is fast, the attack power will naturally not be too strong. Against a normal ninth level powerhouse he can win, but with me being a defense, even if I let him stab on my body, I guess he won’t be able to break my defense.”
Walton had full confidence, “In the beginning, if the Named Disciple Selection Tournament was a one-on-one challenge to determine the last person. I’m afraid the final candidate wouldn’t be him.”
Linley smiled and patted Walton on the shoulder, “Well, what’s a Martial God Sect registered disciple then? Let’s go, let’s go back.”
As sons of the Ultimate Warrior Clan, Linley and Walton had grown up with a sense of pride.
Brummer quickly told Emperor ‘Qiao An’ about the challenge, and His Majesty Qiao An was sending people to ask Walton if the matter was true. After realizing that the matter was true, His Majesty Joanne immediately ordered people to start preparing for this duel on behalf of the two great geniuses.
Especially after the matter of this duel spread out, the entire populace of the Imperial Capital became excited.
A Martial God’s own disciple, the ninth level powerhouse Brummer.
One was a Dragon Blood Warrior family scion. O’Brien Academy’s genius, Walden!
Most importantly – these two geniuses were both fond of the Empire’s seventh princess. With the kind of gossipiness that people were born with, it was natural for them to think that these two people were dueling for the seventh princess. All sorts of gossip about Walden, Brummer, and Nina began to spread through the streets of the Imperial Capital.
In the east city of the Imperial Capital, the Fushi Road Earl’s Residence, in the practicing field behind it.
Linley and Walden were standing at opposite ends of the practice field, and in the distance there was the butler Healy, Hillman, Barker, and a group of others gathered around to watch.
For the duel at ground 24, Wharton was determined to win.
Linley looked directly at Walden, ”Walden, since that Brummer is famous for his fast sword, I’ll use my fast sword to compete with you now. Don’t have the slightest care in the world, bring out all your strength.”
“Yes, brother.”
The bare-chested Walden directly began his transformation.
Turquoise-colored dragon scales covered Walden’s entire body, his hands and feet were also covered with scales, and his nails became even sharper. A dragon tail also emerged from his tail, and a dragon horn also appeared in his forehead.
The eyes, on the other hand, were black, only occasionally there was also a ray of golden light passing by.
“This is what the family’s true dragonblood warrior changed into.”
Linley saw his brother’s transformation. There was a sigh of relief in his heart, and he immediately shouted, “Walden, strike with all your might. Hurry!”
“Got it.”
Wharton’s eyes lit up, and that powerful thigh stomped the ground so hard that a hole immediately appeared in the ground. Wharton, on the other hand, rushed towards Linley with a streak of residual shadow, while his hands were holding that battle knife slaughtered with countless bloodstained ground.
“Lift lightly!”
The Purple Blood divine Sword in Linley’s hands was like a million pounds of weight seemingly slowly blocking towards the Warblade Slaughter. However, it actually strangely blocked the Warblade Slaughter.
“Peng!”
The two forces collided together.
Linley then felt as if he had been struck by a large meteorite, the shocking impact transmitted directly from the Purple Blood Divine Sword.
“The power really is outrageously great, a normal slash. Surprisingly, it catches up to the power of me in my humanoid form when I perform ‘Lifting Lightness’.”
Linley marveled in his heart, the strength of a dragonblood warrior was indeed frighteningly powerful.
Linley’s body swirled like a whirlwind, easily avoiding Walden directly.
“Shoo!”
Nine consecutive purple rays lit up. This was only the very ordinary speed of the Purple Blood Excalibur, and in Linley’s opinion, that Brummer was just sword fast. Being able to reach the ordinary level of the Purple Blood Soft Sword was pretty good.
Walton toes point, backward quickly avoided to come, at the same time in the hands of the ground sword slaughter extremely fast block Lin Lei attack.
But also only blocked six of the sword light, Linley still consecutively three sword stabbed in Walton’s body. This was Linley’s normal attack in his human form.
“Clang!”
“Clang!”
“Clank!”
Only three metallic clashes could be heard, and the turquoise-colored scale armor on Walden’s body merely left behind three white dots.
“Haha …… Walden, it seems like I can’t even injure you without showing some strength.”
Linley laughed out loud, but in his heart, he was very happy.
Walden looked solemnly at his earthly big brother, “Brother, let go.”
In human form, Linley was only at the beginning of the ninth level.
The Walton at this moment, however, was a peak level nine Dragonblood Warrior after his transformation. Whether it was strength, fighting qi, or defense, he was far superior to Linley by a large margin.
“My lord, if you keep your hands to yourself, I’m afraid you’re going to be pressed by Walton.”
Gates yelled from the side.
Linley shook his head with a faint smile.
“Walden, be careful.”
Linley’s face became serious, and his entire person moved at breakneck speeds, the entire practice field was like a gale had appeared out of thin air, Linley’s entire ground speed reaching a terrifying point.
“Hoo!”
The Purple Blood Divine Sword slashed directly at Walden, even as it carried the surrounding space to oppress Walden.
Potential!
Walton felt unprecedented pressure, but encountering this predicament instead caused his belligerent blood to boil, and with a low roar, the Dragonblood Fighting Qi within his body exploded as well, the berserk power being exerted through the Battle Blade Slaughter – “Thumbs up – -”
Splitting through locked space, it directly collided with Linley’s Violet Blood Divine Sword.
However, Linley’s Purple Blood Excalibur trembled, transforming into six sword shadows at once, and at such a close range, Walden simply didn’t have time to parry with Warblade Slaughter.
“Drink!”
Walton’s left hand was clenched into a fist, green colored light flowed on the surface of his fist, and this sandbag-sized fist directly headed towards the approaching past.
“Peng!”
“Pom!”
“Pom!”
“Peng!”
The six sword shadows transformed into entities once again, and the Purple Blood Divine Sword directly stabbed at Walden’s body. The terrifying penetration caused Wharton’s body to tremble.
It was as light as a weight! As fast as lightning!
In the blink of an eye, Linley’s four consecutive swords pierced the same spot on Walden’s body, the consecutive attacks directly piercing through Walden’s fighting aura as well as his scale armor defenses, touching the surface of his flesh.
After piercing through the scale armor, Linley directly withdrew his sword and flew back.
Walton stood frozen in place, then looked up at Linley, incredulously saying, “Big brother, how are you so fast?”
Even he hadn’t been able to react in time, so one could imagine how short the time had been. Yet Linley had four consecutive swords in that short amount of time.
“You call this fast? If I reach my limit. It’s in this state right now, I can make six swords in a row. This is pure speed, there’s nothing esoteric about it, but if I execute Windstorm Movement ……”
There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Linley’s mouth, “In a split second of your time, I can completely strike hundreds of swords or even more!”
Where there was wind, there were swords.
The dreadfulness of Wind Storm Movement was in the word fast. It was as fast as an instantaneous movement, but as fast as that, the power of each sword could not be too strong. But hundreds of swords accumulated, it was still amazing.
“Hundreds of swords?”
Walton was shocked, “This …… fortunately that Brummer’s speed is far from catching up with big brother. If it’s this fast, I’ll admit defeat.”
“Don’t harbor a fluke.”
Linley coldly chided, “Walden, could it be that you know Brummer’s ultimate speed?”
“Nope. No.”
Walden shook his head.
“You attack me with your strongest move.”
Linley said solemnly.
“Yes, big brother.”
Walton also became serious, “This move was created after I comprehended Lifting Weights. It’s called ‘One Blade to Kill’.”
Wharton held his battle knife Slaughter in both hands at the same time, and the blade of the Slaughter battle knife shone with a cold metallic luster.
There was a hint of a smile at the corner of Linley’s mouth.
“The name, it’s very fury.”
Linley held the Purple Blood Divine Sword in one hand.
“Whew!”
Walden’s speed reached its limit in an instant, almost blinking before Linley’s eyes, and that Warblade Slaughter was like a lightly falling leaf. ‘Floating’ towards Linley.
It seemed to be slow, but in a blur, it reached Linley’s eyes. Facing this blade. Linley unexpectedly felt a bloody, tyrannical aura.
Linley didn’t dare to be careless in the slightest.
“Clank!”
“Clank!”
“Clank!” ……
Linley’s entire person was like the sun, shooting out thousands of purple rays as the purple sword awnings slammed into the warsword ‘Slaughter’ at great speed. The terrifying attack power originally contained in the battle sword ‘Slaughter’ was completely canceled out by the countless purple rays crashing into it.
“Peng!”
The Warblade Slaughter was unexpectedly knocked away, and Wharton’s entire person was also struck on his body by several purple lights and shadows, and his entire person flew up.
Walden coughed twice and rubbed his chest before standing up.
“Not bad, the power is very good.”
Linley lamented, “I can’t believe it took sixteen consecutive swords to cancel out your attack.”
Using Windstorm Movement, the power of each sword was also reduced.
In reality, if Linley were to use a sword at full power, the attack should have been able to catch up to a quarter of Walden’s slash as well.
Theoretically, four swords at full power would be enough for Linley to block his opponent’s attack.
“By all accounts, there should be no one amongst rank nine experts who is your opponent. Unless the opponent is also an Ultimate Warrior, they might only have the power to have a fight with you.”
Linley lamented.
“There’s more.”
Linley looked towards Walden, “You need to learn to flexibly control your fighting qi and shift your body. Try not to let your opponent attack in the same place with several consecutive sword attacks.”
Walden nodded.
“My lord.”
A guard ran in and respectfully said, “My lord, there’s a man named Reynolds outside who says he’s here to find Lord Linley.”
“Reno?”
Linley’s eyes lit up.
Linley didn’t care to talk to his brother any longer, and directly and quickly rushed towards the gate of the earl’s mansion. With the oldest four, ‘Reno’, Linley hadn’t seen him for a full nine years.
Running to the front yard, Linley slowed his pace.
Looking at the figure at the door, Linley felt that everything was like a lifetime ago, his most licentious youth was with the three teenagers who weren’t his own brothers but were better than his own brothers, and the four brothers often went to Aqua Paradise to drink and play.
Thinking back then, how cozy.
And now Renault – Renault wearing a simple robe, but his whole body is straight, long-term military life makes Renault has a military unique temperament. And Warden was surprisingly nearly one meter nine tall nowadays.
“Lao Si!”
Originally waiting at the doorway Reynolds heard the voice and looked over, his eyes instantly lit up, today’s Linley was also different from the past, the dazzling genius of that year had now become more restrained and more stable, “Lao San!”
“Haha ……”
The two brothers rushed together in a bear hug.
“I didn’t expect ah, Old Four you even went to the army. It’s been almost seven or eight years. Just now at the door, I didn’t dare to recognize you for a moment. I was thinking, which army ground officer ran here ah?”
Linley joked.
Reno hammered Linley’s chest, “Lao San, shit, I can’t do anything about going to the army, my old man forced me, what can I do?”
“Luckily this time I was on vacation, Yale he sent someone to tell me that you’re presumed to have arrived in the Imperial Capital, I came back, so I stopped by your brother’s side to look for you. I thought, you kid came to the imperial capital, must be to your brother’s side, a look, really in ah.”
“Haha, let’s go, let’s talk inside.”
The good brothers who had been separated for nearly nine years had a whole lot of words in their stomachs. Separated for nine years, nine years later, the two teenagers back then, are now accomplished youths.
