Chapter 260: Gambling Fight
The sun was shining, the mountain peaks were already in sight, and Wren's toes tapped the hard stones, and the muscles in his legs suddenly exerted force.
Click!
With a hard stomp of his leg down, his figure flashed in the air and rushed forward like a swallow.
The body flew through the air, and Wren quickly swept over a few dense bushes from above, and the howling wind poured into his body from the mouth of his clothes, bringing a bit of refreshment.
Whoosh~
The sound of the wind breaking quickly came, and a blonde young man with a silver-white knight's sword on his back galloped and caught up with an incomparably agile step.
"Hey, friend, who do you think will win this fight?"
Glancing at Wren next to him, the blonde young man's body was covered with a layer of white light, his face was flushed, and he was almost running at a speed with all his might.
In contrast, Wren seemed much more relaxed, his breathing was not chaotic, and he replied in a flat tone:
"I don't know, I'm not good at swordsmanship, and I don't know much about the strength of the two people in front of me."
"Oh, I see, you just came to see the meeting, not specifically to see this mountaintop sword battle." The blonde youth said suddenly.
He is a fourth-order [Golden Rose Knight] who specializes in swordsmanship, so he came here to join in the fun.
Previously, the news that Mahad wanted to compete with the 6th Marquis of Thorton in the Qingfeng Mountains spread out, so it attracted many swordsmen to come here to watch.
I see. ’
Hearing this, Wren knew in his heart that there were quite a few transcendents who had climbed the mountain this time, and although he hadn't seen other Templar-level powerhouses, there were still a few master-level swordsmen like the blonde youth.
If swordsmanship encounters a bottleneck and cannot be improved, it is better to watch and learn from the sidelines than to keep working behind closed doors.
Wren thought for a moment, then asked:
"This friend, do you know why Mahad and the Marquis of Thorton are fighting?"
If it's just a simple swordsmanship, unless it's someone who likes to be in the limelight, there's no need to make it known to everyone.
Otherwise, it's okay to win, but how embarrassing it is to lose, so many people are watching, and the masters want to save face.
"Well, it may be that I am happy to see the hunter, heroes cherish heroes, and it is rare to meet a ...... worthy of a fight" Catching a glimpse of Wren's disdainful expression, the blonde young man smiled, "Well, they have a disagreement because of a business, and they agreed to ......"
"It turned out to be a gambling fight." Wren smiled.
The blonde youth nodded, it was.
The Vergara family in the North Sea and the Marquis of Thorton in Faroland had a business partnership, with the former preparing to sell a batch of unprocessed marble from the island of Hierna to the latter, but disagreed on some terms.
When an agreement cannot be reached and the other party is not an enemy, the use of force to subdue the other side and force the other side to make appropriate concessions is a relatively common behavior in mainland Saigon.
The power of the transcendent is attributed to itself, so there are many extraordinary people who are aggressive and have a strong sense of victory.
In order to avoid cheating, such fights are usually public, usually with witnesses.
If someone loses afterwards and does not admit it, it will seriously affect the credibility and glory of the individual or family.
…………
Not far ahead, the Marquis of Thorton, who flew with Edgeworth, and Mahad, the descendant of Hades, had reached the top of the mountain.
This is a flat-topped mountain, and the terrain at the top of the mountain is relatively flat, like a huge gladiatorial arena, which is very suitable for martial arts.
Qiang~
Swords collide and sparks fly!
The battle had begun, and both men were armed with brilliant swords condensed from spiritual energy, and they fought in mid-air.
The figures flickered and staggered, and the sonorous sounds came and went!
Mahad swept with a sword, repelled his opponent, and said with a long smile: "Kui Gang, your swordsmanship is okay, and you are not too old to lift a sword." ”
"You won't be able to laugh later!"
In mid-air, the Marquis of Thorton stepped on a cold sword at his feet, and in his hand he held a glass-like golden sword.
sneering at each other, the eyes of the two were very sharp, and the moment they met their eyes, they fought again!
Bang Bang!
The blue and gray sword lights kept colliding fiercely, and the sharp sword rays tore through the air, setting off rolling waves of qi, and erupted into bursts of piercing hiss!
After a while, Wren and the blond-haired youth also arrived at the top of the mountain, but before they could catch their breath, their faces changed.
Hmmm~
In the center of the battlefield, several spilled sword qi, carrying sharp and pressing edges, roared and slashed towards them.
"!" The blonde youth cursed.
He dodged a sword aura sideways, quickly pulled out the silver long sword behind him, and flicked the blade with his fingers, and the exquisite patterns on it suddenly lit up with dazzling white light!
Clang~
In an instant, the horizontal sword was in front of him, blocking a substantiated sword light head-on, but the sword qi was still tearing a shallow trace on the ground.
The sword qi slashed by a Templar-level powerhouse was not so easy to catch.
Under the huge impact, the blonde youth gritted his teeth, his arms trembled, and he kept retreating with his sword.
Wren, by contrast, is much more casual.
The aura of the stars spread to the palm of his hand, and he stretched out his right palm, which emitted the light of a cold star, like a steel cast, and pinched the sword that slashed at him with great precision!
The power of the concussion of the rotating tide passed through the palm of the hand, and only the crisp sound of "click" was heard, and cracks appeared on the materialized sword light.
Boom!
Wren's fingers suddenly clenched hard, and the sword instantly shattered and collapsed, turning into a gust of wind and disappearing into invisibility.
Next to him, the blonde young man had just blocked the sword qi with great difficulty, and he was a little stunned by Wren's performance
"Friend, you ......, this is too exaggerated." He looked straight at Wren in a surprised tone.
This is a fourth-order peak powerhouse attack, even if it is just an overflowing sword qi, but with the strength of the fourth-order beginning, it is difficult to take it easily.
Wren shrugged his shoulders and pouted:
"Brother, if I were you, I would take the initiative to move back now, so as not to be accidentally injured by the aftermath."
When the strong fight, not everyone can watch it up close.
Piercing his heart, Lao Tie, the corners of the blonde youth's mouth twitched: "Don't worry, the witness hasn't arrived yet, he's just warming up."
By the way, I am Leon, from the central city of Merois, and the sister-in-law of the Marquis de Fenocacius. ”
The Fenocasius family, one of the top aristocratic families in Farolan, currently has a sage in the family - "Horn of Dawn" Wade.
"Wren Ackerman, from Bushen City."
Although he was a little surprised by the identity of the blonde youth, Wren introduced himself very calmly.
Leon is not the Sage Wade himself, and his strength is not as good as him, so he doesn't need to be too polite and humble.
Not minding Wren's slightly cold attitude, Leon asked curiously:
"You're the 19-year-old new master who killed the Werewolf Marquis Brewster not long ago?"
"That's right, it's me."
