Chapter 8 III Duel

Hearing that there was a fight, there were many people around the tavern at once.

When Xenas saw Li Tianhao walk out, he smiled and said, "Guts, boy, what's your name?" I don't want to kill an opponent whose name I don't even know. ”

"Li Tianhao."

"Li Tianhao? Are you the leader of the rebels? I didn't expect to be so young, but it's a pity that you're not a brave man like Muller. It's a happy thing to fight a duel with such a brave man. As for you, it's not too unjust to die at my hands. As he spoke, Xenus took a stance, making a gesture of please.

Li Tianhao smiled slightly, danced and attacked with a halberd. A loud bang shook everyone's ears, and at the same time, more people gathered when they heard the loud noise. After the first blow from both sides, the two people who fought each other were taken aback, neither of them expected that the strength of the other party would be so great. For the first time in his life, Li Tianhao met a strong king who overwhelmed him in strength; Xenas was amazed that the slender young man in front of him could catch a move with all his strength and still not move.

"Awesome, boy."

"You too, big man."

The two didn't say much, and fought again. After a few moves, Alam's face changed drastically - the big man named Xenas in front of him was not only on par with Li Tianhao in strength, but also not inferior to him in skill and speed. This giant sword is a bit laborious for ordinary people to lift, but in the hands of Xenas, it is as light as a straw! The strong wind mixed with the giant sword formed a wall of qi that spread out in all directions, blowing the surrounding onlookers to retreat. The fierce battle immediately attracted more onlookers, and soon the two were surrounded by spectators, but they were all watching from a distance. Everyone's faces were full of surprise, and even Alam was completely captivated by the brilliant duel between the two. Even Muller can't fight Li Tianhao to this extent, this Senas in front of him is really worthy of his title of 'undefeated mercenary', and he didn't show any defeat in the face of Li Tianhao, on the contrary, he overwhelmed Li Tianhao in momentum. The flying sword wind was like a dark cloud enveloping Li Tianhao in the middle, and Li Tianhao's halberd was like a black dragon that appeared and disappeared in the clouds, constantly attacking the weak links in the opponent's moves.

The two fought for more than 100 rounds, and it was difficult to separate. Xenas laughed loudly: "This fight is so good, it's yours, boy!" ”

Li Tianhao was also full of red faces, and Alam saw a domineering look on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time. By the time the battle reached one hundred and fifty rounds, many of the leaders of the rebel army had already heard the news and rushed over, but no one dared to stop them when they saw the scene in front of them, they knew that the victory or defeat between the two sides was only between the first line, and the slightest carelessness would become a lose-lose situation.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, the two sides showed no signs of exhaustion, but became more and more courageous. At this time, Li Tianhao made a dangerous move, flicked his halberd, and leaned back at the same time, allowing Xenas's giant sword to stab past the tip of his nose, with the power of this sword, Xenas's body leaned forward slightly, and Li Tianhao took advantage of this opportunity to fly up and point a foot at Xenas's lower abdomen. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xenas hurriedly dodged, but the momentum of the giant sword was too heavy, and it was impossible to completely avoid it.

With just one sweep, Xenas had already taken a few steps back to stabilize his figure. And when Li Tianhao stood up, his nose had been swept away by the sweeping sword wind.

"You're so ruthless, boy, if you kick this kick, I'm going to break my intestines." Xenas rubbed the wound on his left abdomen.

Li Tianhao wiped the blood on his face and said, "You're not bad, my nose can't stand this strong wind from such a distance." ”

Xenas stared at Li Tianhao for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahahaha, even if it's a tie this time." ”

The surrounding crowd reacted at this time and erupted in thunderous applause.

Li Tianhao thrust the halberd in his hand into the ground and said loudly: "Xenas, you are very good, I hope you can join my camp to fight together!" ”

Xenas put the greatsword on his back and smiled slightly: "I'm a mercenary, and my principle is that whoever bids the most will help him fight." ”

"Okay, that's it. No matter how much the Yaki pay to hire you, I'll pay them double! ”

Xenas raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Do you have that much money? I don't believe you're richer than the slave owners. ”

Li Tianhao held his chin and smiled: "I'll help you sort out your thoughts, slave owners are indeed rich, but they become stingy because they have money, and they will never let themselves face bankruptcy for a mercenary; We don't have that much money, but if we defeat them, we can get their possessions, and people will be more generous with windfalls. And if you fight for the slave owners, you will inevitably encounter a strong enemy like me, and your reputation will be stained, right? Isn't it obvious how to choose? ”

Senas nodded slightly: "You are indeed a businessman, and you are very capable of breaking ah, but it still sounds reasonable." Well, I'll be employed by you for the time being. But I'm going to say that if I'm not satisfied, I'll leave at any time, and no amount of money will be of any use. ”

"I can't think of any reason to restrict your freedom as a mercenary, and I agree to that. So now we're partners, right? ”

"No, we're in an employment relationship. One more thing, you'll have to invite me to drink. Senas said as he walked back to the tavern.

"Why am I invited?" Li Tianhao complained after him.

"First of all, you are an employer, you need to have a good relationship with your employees, and secondly, I have not had much money on me after a long journey. Boss, let's start with a barrel of wine! Senas shouted from his seat.

"What, a bucket? Are you a monster! Li Tianhao protested loudly.

Xenas turned his head and said, "You young man, it seems that you still don't understand the joy of life, come on, come on, I'll teach you now, let's drink together!" ”

"That's right! Let's drink together! All the leaders walked into the tavern together and said in unison: "Leader Li, let's celebrate together with another strong hand!" ”

"Boss, five more barrels of wine, we're going to celebrate!"

Li Tianhao watched in a daze as the former bandit leaders occupied the entire tavern and drank freely, while he himself was forced by Xenas to pour countless alese.
