Chapter 235: The Fanatic's Blade
Reid was crestfallen. Not because he was scolded or reprimanded. Just because he was reminded that he should have pulled Zain back quickly and without any reluctance. He totally agreed with that.
Although not reckless, Reed's actions undoubtedly put Zain in danger. He felt that he should at least be "serious" without considering the consequences. Regret made him feel very depressed.
"There's no point in worrying. This duel is the end anyway."
Chaim certainly didn't think that Ye Kai would fail in front of such an opponent, and Reed thought so too. If there was a problem, it was how serious Ye Kai would be. Ye Kai had said a duel... whether it meant that he didn't mind killing his opponent or was just a threat was unclear.
"Let me make it clear first, Your Excellency the Archbishop. I don't care if the knights you specially summoned are lost. Frankly speaking, justice is on our side. Please don't make a fuss about conspiracy later."
The two men faced off in the center of the palace's parade ground, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.
"I understand! But if you are defeated, you must honestly admit defeat and apologize and withdraw the harsh words you have spoken about our teachings so far. Do you understand?"
“Okay, I don’t mind.”
For Fordit, all he could pick up was the legitimacy of his doctrine. The foundation in Holzlein had been lost.
Recognizing the magic boxer with gleaming silver claws, the Holy Knight of Atlasia slowly drew his sword from its sheath.
"I offer this sword to God. With my prayers, I will bring divine punishment upon that person."
Kusgan recited a short prayer and quickly closed the distance, his sword light drawing an arc in the air. The sword that was obviously intended to kill did not touch Ye Kai, and he judged and dodged with the smallest movement.
“It didn’t look serious. If it was, the guy would probably be dead.”
"You see, Ye Kai will defeat him easily."
While Senna clasped her hands together as if praying and stared with bated breath, Ye Kai bent his upper body and dodged skillfully with circles.
"Don't run away! If you are afraid of the Sword of God, don't stand before me!"
"Is this okay? It's almost over now, huh?"
He used the back of his right arm to deflect the sword approaching from his lower left, then dived directly into Kusgan's arms and rammed his body with his left shoulder.
The impact was heavy enough to lift the knight's foot off the ground, causing him to fall and sit down. There was no emotion in his black pupils, he just looked down calmly.
The blood-red eyes rushed towards Ye Kai as he stood up, but Ye Kai's body turned aside and only cut through the air. Instead, the multifunctional gauntlet on his right hand appeared in front of him as a counterattack, hitting him violently in the face. Bystanders might see that it seemed as if Kusgan himself had inexplicably hit the gauntlet. There was a sneer from the audience.
At this point, the power gap between the two sides was already very obvious. Ye Kai had no intention of teasing. He just needed to make the other party fully aware of the power gap and admit defeat.
But if there was any misjudgment, it was pride. No matter how badly Kusgan was beaten, he would not let go of his sword.
In the process of being knocked down and standing up, his body gradually broke down. If he was exposed to the public in such a shameful way again, he would never surrender. Ye Kai had to reluctantly switch to the fighting method of seizing consciousness.
When he slid into the sword's range with his left foot, Kusgan also swung his sword heavily and slashed down fiercely. Ye Kai swung his body to the left to dodge, and at the same time used his left palm to hit the side of the sword to deflect it, and stepped on his right foot, tripping him with his left foot. The knife in his right hand slammed into the back of the empty man's head. The Holy Knight's eyes lost focus, and then he fell down.
The audience was convinced of the Magic Boxer's victory, and cheers rose up, drowning out the sound of Fordite's smacking his lips. Ye Kai began to walk away, leaving the fallen Kusgan behind, but suddenly stopped. The Holy Knight, who should have lost consciousness, staggered to his feet, emitting a strange aura.
(Impossible! This is fake...)
Kusgan tried to stand up, and even felt a bit evil, but the air around him began to become fresh. Cham felt that this corner was surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere, as if some great power was coming.
She wasn't the only one who noticed this, the dark-haired young man also peeked over his shoulder, which she noticed.
“What is this, the power that surges from within me! Oh, this feeling of omnipotence! I am the strongest!”
The paladin stood up and roared.
"I am the Knight of God! Now it's time to defeat the enemies of God!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kusgan stepped on the ground and rushed over with a terrifying acceleration. Ye Kai did not take it lightly, but the opponent's speed changed so quickly that he reacted a little slowly and the sword edge grazed his cheek. The knight's sword tip dragged blood, and screams rang out among the audience.
Continuous blows hit Ye Kai, and continuous metallic sounds rang out, like a series of metal cutting sounds. It was also the first time that the adventurers saw him concentrate on dealing with a sword with both hands.
"Heavy duty supercharger!"
He lost his composure in dealing with it, superimposed his physical enhancement, and also increased his speed. Faced with this situation, Ye Kai would never take risks. He would use all means to try to maintain his advantage.
He used his left multi-purpose handguard to catch the sword that was slashing down diagonally, and punched the opponent's chin with his right fist. Kusgan raised his face, but his eyes were still locked on Ye Kai. He felt uneasy. Such a blow would usually impact the brain and cause loss of consciousness instantly. No matter how you look at it, the opponent is not in a normal state.
He kicked away, retreated 6 meters, then turned over and rushed over like a bullet, releasing a sword attack. Ye Kai blocked the sword and then distanced himself, kicked the ground, and sprinted low from below, with the sword flying.
He narrowly avoided it, and this time he adjusted his strength and hit the opponent's temple with a hook, which knocked him back. He instinctively controlled the force to avoid accidentally killing him, but he began to wonder if this was too dangerous.
After all, the opponent had been targeting the vital points, and one blow could be fatal, but he stood up again without any injury.
When Kusgan rushed at him again at an extraordinary speed, Ye Kai dodged by lowering his body, and a large piece of his back hair was cut off. In response, he hit the opponent's chest and abdomen with all his strength.
The opponent finally stopped moving. After Ye Kai punched him in the abdomen dozens of times with unpredictable speed, he dodged to the back and hit the opponent's back of the head with his elbow, causing him to fall face down on the ground.
Ye Kai immediately jumped up, pulled away, and observed the situation. Such an attack, even if not fatal, would be enough to leave sequelae. If the opponent could still stand up, it would be a troublesome matter.
However, Kusgan staggered to his feet as if nothing had happened.
