Although Leo's blow has exhausted his strength, it is actually not fast for a samurai who has been fighting in close quarters for many years, and if Emmanuel is conscious, he only needs to turn sideways to dodge Leo's attack. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But at this moment, the soul in Emmanuel's mind was being violently bitten and devoured by Xiao Hei summoned by Leo, and the whole person's consciousness was tormented by this incomparable pain to the point of madness, and even the vision in front of him was blurred, where could he avoid this stab?

Like a silver serpent, the dagger in Leo's hand pierced through the armor without hindrance and plunged heavily into Emmanuel's lower abdomen.

"Ahh Emmanuel, who was hit harder, screamed, the long sword in his hand could no longer hold it and landed on the ground, the whole person staggered back a few steps, and subconsciously reached out to hold the dagger tightly tied to his abdomen, as if he wanted to pull it out.

But Emmanuel's hand tried to exert himself, and the intense pain had already spread through his body in an instant, and His Royal Highness the Great Prince let out a miserable scream again, and the whole person fell straight to the ground as if he had been electrocuted, and a large area of blood gushed out from the wound, instantly staining a large area of the ground.

Leo didn't continue the pursuit, just stood there and quietly watched Emmanuel lying on the ground groaning in pain.

At this point, anyone can see that the duel has been decided.

"It can't be! The eldest prince actually lost? The crowd of onlookers was almost dumbfounded, completely unable to believe what was happening in front of them. It was clear that Emmanuel had the upper hand just now and could win, but it was only a few seconds later that he was defeated and lost to the ground, which is simply unbelievable!

Morata breathed a sigh of relief, and the third adjudicator standing beside him also had an appreciative look in his eyes.

"This divine favor is obviously inferior to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, how can he win? There must have been some kind of trick! "There are still those who are not convinced and shouting in the crowd.

The third adjudicator snorted heavily, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a holy power shoot out from his fingertips, and then there was a cry of pain from the crowd, and it was the guy who had just spoken out of disbelief who was taught a lesson.

"You can do it, you can't talk nonsense!" Although the voice of the third adjudicator was not loud, it clearly spread throughout the street, making those who were originally very dissatisfied suddenly speechless, and they could only shut their mouths helplessly.

It's okay to talk about it, but go up and duel with this guy who defeated the sixth-level samurai Emmanuel? Are you kidding.

"What do you think this god will do with His Royal Highness the Great Prince?" Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked another question.

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone instantly turned their eyes to Leo.

According to Imperial law, the winner of a duel has the right to dispose of the loser at will, and it is not considered illegal for the winner to concoct or even kill the loser, regardless of how the winner concocts or even kills the loser. In other words, even if Leo killed Emmanuel with a sword at this moment, at least on the surface, the imperial royal family would be helpless to take his actions.

Will Leo choose to kill Emmanuel? This is almost the biggest question hovering in everyone's minds at this moment.

Leo took a deep breath, leaned over and took the long sword that Emmanuel had dropped to the ground in his hand, and walked towards Emmanuel who was still bleeding and moaning on the ground.

The onlookers watched Leo's every move with bated breath, lest they miss any shots that would be enough for him to brag to his children and grandchildren for the rest of his life, and there were at least a thousand onlookers around, but at the moment it was so quiet that only Leo's footsteps and Emmanuel's moans were silent.

Leo walked up to Emmanuel, his sword moving slightly, the tip of the sword no more than five centimeters away from Emmanuel's throat.

Leo had already made a decision on this question.

This decision was made even when Leo was still in the Holy See.

A picture of memories suddenly came to Leo's mind, the scene of Daisy, the hot stunner tutor, and Leo having a parting conversation a few days ago, before leaving the inquisition.

Daisy said to Leo: "Because of your mission this time, you will definitely meet those two princes when you go to Ridmar City this time, and it is even very likely that you will have a conflict with them, so I think I need to remind you of something, ruling the elder." ”

"There's nothing to worry about." Leo smiled, and a glittering dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, and he said to Daisy with a smile while playing with the dagger: "I really wish they came to the door again, in this case, maybe I can get more good equipment from them." ”

Daisy couldn't help but smile dumbly when she saw this, and shook her head, "That's not what I'm talking about, Lord Adjudicator. At this point, Daisy's charming face suddenly showed a serious expression: "What I want to say is that if you have a chance to kill one of them, then please don't do it." ”

"Oh, Ming—wait! What did you say? Leo looked at Daisy in surprise: "Don't do that?" Why? ”

Daisy looked at Leo very seriously: "Because of checks and balances." ”

It seemed that seeing that Leo was a little incomprehensible, Daisy immediately explained: "As long as these two princes are still fighting around the throne, then the entire royal family and even the upper echelons of the empire will not be able to really twist into a rope to deal with our Holy Sect, but if you kill any of the princes-"

"Then these high-ranking members of the empire have no choice but to put all the treasures on the body of another person, right?" Leo immediately picked up the conversation, his face full of sudden realization: "So even if you can kill them, you must not kill them, because as long as the two of them are alive, they will check and balance each other, and the empire will definitely be in the midst of internal strife, and the threat to our Holy Sect will not be so great, right?" ”

"That's right." Daisy smiled and glanced at Leo, her eyes full of appreciation.

Leo shook his head slightly, pulling his consciousness back from his memory. He subconsciously glanced at Emmanuel, who had fallen to the ground, his body and soul were badly damaged, and sighed helplessly.

You really can't kill it.

Although Daisy's previous analysis for Leo was from the standpoint of the church, even from Leo's personal standpoint, killing Emmanuel was not a wise choice.

Even if the royal family has nothing to say about the outcome of Emmanuel's death in a duel, it is hard to guarantee that they will not make any small moves against Leo in secret. You must know that this is the royal family's stronghold, Ridmar City, and His Majesty Charles XVI, who has lost his beloved son, has 10,000 ways to circumvent the law and secretly take revenge on Leo.

Regardless, killing Emmanuel is a more dangerous option for Leo.

But having said that, Leo is obviously still a little unhappy about letting Emanuel go like this, you must know that although this duel was Leo's initiative to provoke, the cause of the grudge between the two was because Emmanuel wanted to step on Leo's position, and Leo was really not the one who was at fault.

Just as Leo's mind kept spinning, a voice suddenly came into Leo's ears: "Don't kill him!" ”

The sound was crisp and pleasant, as beautiful as the call of a oriole, and the most important thing was that Leo still had a familiar feeling in his ears.

Leo subconsciously looked up in the direction where the voice came from, but found someone he didn't expect.

"Your Highness the Princess?"
