A satiated Su Lu stood up, looking at the man who had pursued him last night.
âI am the chief swordmaster of the court, the Violet Viscount, the Lord of the Roland Knight Regiment, the sword-holder⌠Edward Livingston! Remember this name, for it will be the one to defeat you.â
Edward pointed with the tip of his sword towards the gate, âCome on out, or do you think itâs more convenient for you to fight here?â
âAfter you!â
Su Lu stepped forward and found a horde of red-robed soldiers, with the wizard Erik in the center.
âA wizard?â
âThe chief mage of the court, you can call me Erik! Young wizard!â Erik grinned, âWhich school are you from?â
He wondered if Su Lu was a student of an acquaintance.
âIâm from⌠the Arrogant School!â
A hint of a smile crept onto the corner of Su Luâs mouth.
After advancing to fourth stage and acquiring the Flicker Skill, thereâs practically nothing in this world that could stop him. Naturally, he was going to make a name for himself and promote his factionâs reputation at the same time.
âArrogant?!â
Erik looked puzzled, and slowly shook his head, âSir Edward, please proceed, no one will disturb you.â
At a command from him, the surrounding soldiers instantly made way.
âShall we get started then?â
After yawning, Su Lu conjured up his lightless Demon-Hunting dagger.
âReady! Be careful, Iâll be using my Sealing Sword Technique¡Iron Curtain from the start! Your aerial maneuvers wonât do you any good.â
Edward wore a faint smile.
However, the very next moment, his smile turned into a look of horror.
Because Su Lu had blinked, his silhouette disappeared, and in an instant, he was behind Edward. He gently presented his dagger â without any trace of aggressiveness â and pressed it against Edwardâs throat: âYou talk too much.â
âJust nowâŚâ
âWhat just happened? Did I see things?â
âAstounding speed, no⌠itâs similar to the effect of a space manipulation spell!â
The field fell deathly silent.
After a while, the surrounding soldiers all rubbed their eyes as if they had seen an illusion.
Erik, on the other hand, felt a chill in his heart. It was as if he had seen his nemesis!
For wizards who are strong in offense but weak in defense, assassins who excel in close-quarter combat are like natural nightmares. Such as Su Lu, who had mastered a teleportation ability, is the absolute counter!
âIâŚI lost!â
Edward looked at the departing Su Lu and his half-swing sword, his face turned red: âAlright⌠you can brag about this in the tavern now. You defeated the Kingdomâs number one swordsman when he was caught off guard!â
âI can see that you are not convinced. Do you want another round?â
Su Lu, about ten meters away, asked further.
âOf course!â
Edward vigorously nodded. This time, he didnât waste any time. Golden and silvery Fighting Qi erupted from his body, and his sword formed an Iron Curtain around him.
âSword Technique¡Defense¡Iron Gate!â
This was an enveloping technique that concealed him within layers of sword screens.
Edward stared intently at Su Lu: âHere it comes!â
A dangerous aura alerted him to Su Luâs imminent move.
Sure enough, Su Lu disappeared from the spot in the next second, teleporting behind Edward.
Those layers of Iron Curtains were unable to obstruct him.
âBehind!â
Edward roared. His Fighting Qi surged like a golden lion. With both hands wielding the sword, he forcefully spun around as if the tip of the sword was the lionâs fang.
Crack!
However, this confident and precise strike still ended up hitting nothing but the air.
Bang!
Su Lu performed a second teleportation, still standing behind Edward, his dagger thrusting out.
Even though Edward was protected by his Fighting Qi armor, in Su Luâs eyes, this defense was not particularly superior.
Just putting a little bit of force into his hand, he shattered Edwardâs defense. The dagger penetrated the soft armor and landed on Edwardâs back, âSecond time⌠How about it? Want a third time?â
Su Lu laughed, feeling that using teleportation to bully people had a somewhat cheating flavor.
After mastering this skill, any creature with weak physique would have a hard time resisting his assassination.
Besides, he himself also possessed enough strength, and the Demon Hunting dagger was a marvel of high order.
The combination of these will undergo a horrifying metamorphosis.
At least, when he looked at Erik, the chief court mage had already unconsciously retreated two or three steps, with the muscles on his face stiffened, and an ugly smile appeared.
Inwardly, he was cursing incessantly: âDamn ⌠where did this monster come from?â
He now deeply regretted following the advice of that palace messenger to help Felitlin III trace the assassin.
Who would have thought that at the end of the investigation, it would lead to such a terrifying person?
Edward was close to being a golden knight, with reactions and physical actions nearing the peak of this world at this time. Yet, he was unable to block the opponentâs spatial assault, let alone him.
If the other party intends to slaughter wizards, most wizards are likely to meet a fate of certain death, or they might barely survive by using their transplantation bloodline to obtain instantaneous spell-like abilities, but the outcome wouldnât be pretty.
âNo ⌠no more!â
Edward withdrew his longsword with a soulless look: âWhy were you like that last night âŚâ
In just one night, how could he seem like a completely different person?
He couldnât help but doubt whether the person who entered the palace last night was the same guy.
âIndeed, it was me, but Iâm not an assassin!â
Su Lu said arrogantly: âIf I wanted to kill, even Felitlin III couldnât escape!â
Although he boasted a lot, Edward felt that Su Lu was not bragging.
ButâŚ
âCough cough âŚâ
Erik gave a cough: âAt this kind of occasion, discussing regicide, isnât that inappropriate, Master Su Lu?â
âOh? You recognize me?â
Su Lu glanced at him with slight surprise.
âNo, I just saw the warrant received from the North Territory, and I thought you lookedâŚvery similar.â
Erik answered nervously, feeling a bit embarrassed.
He and Edward were commanded to come and capture the assassin. Now this situationâŚWhat to do? So many soldiers are watching!
âOh, so you are the Duke of Wolf Fort!â
Su Lu shrugged his shoulders: âWhen I have time, Iâll go to the Northern land to visit him.â
Those who play politics with nobles must be crazy if they think they have the power at the top of the world.
What he wanted to do was to flip the table!
Whoever dared to provoke him, heâd flip the table and behead the opponentâs leader directly!
Itâs simple and rough, but very effective!
At least Erik and Edward both, cold sweat seeped onto their forehead.
In the Kingdom of Dragon, how many years have passed since a dukedom was assassinated?
The key point is that this guy seemed to be able to do it.
âBy the way⌠are you here to arrest me?â
Su Lu looked at the surrounding soldiers with a teasing expression.
âNo, no⌠theyâre just my followers. We just came here for a contest! It was my idea!â
Edward hastily said.
âOh, then Iâll go to the palace.â
Su Lu obviously didnât believe him, he looked towards the palace, his figure instantly disappeared.
