The talent of a warrior is not the same as the talent of a scholar.

A physique with natural powers that can easily develop large muscles, an unusually intuitive instinct in battle, a mastery of various weapons, and a good grasp of the timing of attacks or defenses are all necessary prerequisites for becoming a top-notch warrior.

And not forgetting, ten lines at a glance, drawing inferences from one another, and quick thinking, is the pride of a scholar.

The problem is that someone can combine the two to create a world-famous genius.

This is the god of war who has almost never been defeated in his life, the hope of the Begret Empire, and the emperor Fu Jue.

As for the aspect of combat, Li Xuan boasts that although he is not the top in the world, he is also a super-first-class level.

The constant confrontation between life and death with monsters is no less cruel than the battlefield to some extent.

The intuition and insight cultivated under such extreme conditions are not comparable to ordinary people.

This is the two who stand at the front of the warriors, and they will face off between the thrones.

The two of them stood dozens of steps away from the emperor and the others, and each asked someone to bring the weapon of hope.

Li Xuan's choice was a commonly used sword and a round shield, while Huangfu Jue was a large sword.

Because the vitality of monsters is tenacious, they often can't decide the winner with one move, and then they have to protect their teammates, so Li Xuan has been practicing the combination of these two weapons.

"General Huangfu, I heard that you are good at spears, why do you use a big sword?"

Li Xuan asked.

Huang Fu Jue did not hide it, and said: "Of course, there are advantages in horse warfare spears on the battlefield, but I prefer to use such weapons in foot combat." ”

He put on a posture: "What's more, I'm proficient in all weapons!"

Li Xuan also blocked half of his body with the shield: "Then, Li is going to comprehend the general's tricks!"

"Huh. Huang Fu Jue smiled and said: "I don't dare to be a high-level move, but only a master like Director Li is qualified to be my opponent and be qualified to be defeated by my sword!"

Li Xuan didn't answer again and began to carefully observe his opponent.

In terms of physique and strength, Li Xuan has the confidence to be on an equal footing with him.

The real difference comes from the battles experienced.

To put it simply, Li Xuan rarely fights with people, while Huang Fu Jue is the pinnacle of human existence.

Such a difference in battle is undoubtedly an overwhelming disadvantage for Li Xuan.

However, you can also try the skills of monsters, but you can use them in actual combat against people.

"Won't you do it first?"

Huang Fu Jue said, "I can let you have a hand." ”

Li Xuan lowered his body, gathering strength like a compressed spring.

"Don't regret it!"

In an instant, an astonishing burst of power, and Li Xuan rushed towards his opponent at an extremely fast speed.

Want to close the distance with the advantage of lightness?

Huang Fu Jue found the right time, raised his big sword and slashed down diagonally.

This move can completely block the opponent's actions.

If you block it with a shield, it will be deflected by the onward momentum, and if you parry it with a sword, the sword that was intended to attack will bounce off. Although it is also possible to strike with a shield, due to posture and strength, the effect will not be obvious, and the opponent will attack further.

But Li Xuan actually stopped abruptly when he was about to break into the range of the big sword, and after the big sword swung in front of him, he launched another assault.

Forcing a stop can damage your joints, but you should be surprised to deal with such an enemy.

Li Xuan judged that the other party could not quickly withdraw the big sword due to inertia, so he immediately came to the front of Huang Fu Jue and stabbed at the throat of the weaker defense.

In his hand is a blunt sword that has not been opened, but such a charged stab can still cause fatal injuries.

But Li Xuan believed that the genius swordsman would not be defeated so easily.

I saw that Huang Fu Jue quickly recovered from the slight surprise, and decisively released the hilt of his sword to dodge the deadly surprise attack.

Then the left hand with the gauntlet clenched his fist and hit the round shield, sending Li Xuanzhen flying a few steps away.

Huang Fu Jue picked up the big sword again.

"The movement is not skilled enough, and it's obvious that you're not good at this messy way of attacking. ”

Huang Fu Jue commented: "After getting close to the opponent, it is too immature to want to defeat the enemy with one move, and not to do a good job of dodging and then adding an attack. ”

"In addition, attacking at the expense of operational capability is a big no-no in actual combat. You can't have just one opponent. ”

refers to the knee joint that Li Xuan has a faint pain now.

"Taught. ”

"Then, it's my turn!"

He didn't make a starting move like Li Xuan, but the speed was still fast.

From this point of view alone, in terms of muscle strength and skills, Huangfu Jue is superior.

The big sword struck from above, and Li Xuan hurriedly blocked it with a round shield.

The strong tremor dominated Li Xuan's left arm, and it felt like the round shield would break in the next second.

But if you succeed in blocking this blow, you will have an opportunity.

The sword in Li Xuan's right hand struck directly into Huang Fuqi's defenseless abdomen.

But the next moment, Li Xuan was sent out again.

After landing hard, Li Xuan saw Huang Fu Jue retract his legs.

"Because of the deterrence of the big sword, I thought that it was enough to only deal with the movements of my hands, which is also something that needs special attention. ”

Huang Fu Jue didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, waiting for Li Xuan to stand up again: "Human beings, especially humans called warriors, are not like monsters that only attack in one go. ”

"I see. ”

Li Xuan adjusted his breath and prepared to fight again.

"Can you still hold on?"

"If this doesn't work, what else is there to protect the people?"

If the force of that kick just now had been broken if it had been kicked to an ordinary person.

But Li Xuan's own physical fitness is excellent, and he is also protected by soft armor, so naturally there is no big problem.

"Okay, then I'll go!"

The two of them fought back and forth for dozens of rounds, until Li Xuan collapsed from exhaustion.

Huang Fu Jue also lost his initial calmness and looked a little tired.

Because Li Xuan no longer deliberately pursues attacks at the beginning of the third round, but focuses on defense like he usually does in team battles against monsters.

In the face of different monsters, the attack methods are different.

Li Xuan has perfected his defensive posture in all aspects, resulting in Huang Fu Jue never finding a chance to attack.

But the blind defense was finally self-defeating due to the wear and tear of physical strength and spirit.

Lying on the cold floor, he constantly output his own heat, which relieved Li Xuan's rapid breathing.

Huangfu Jue also dropped the big sword and came to Li Xuan to pull him up: "You are very strong. ”

Li Xuan squeezed out a smile: "At this time, it always feels like you're making fun of me." ”

The emperor not far away also clapped his hands and said: "It's a wonderful duel! But it's a pity that in the end, Director Li was defeated." ”

The implication is that the Praetorian Guard will not join the Demon Hunting Team.

Tao Xin sighed peacefully, but Huang Fu shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, I have decided to join the Demon Hunting Team. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"The lowly position just means to see if Director Li is qualified to be the captain of the lowly position, not to say that he wants to win the lowly position. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Huang Fu Jue glanced at the surprised Li Xuan and breathed a sigh of relief.

"When Captain Li had just fought with the lowly position, the lowly job found that although his attack skills were ordinary, his defensive ability was beyond ordinary people, which made the lowly job ashamed. ”

And unlike the unstructured attacks, every step of his defense has a deep meaning, and every step can protect the position in all directions. ”

And this habit, it is not difficult to see that it is developed in battle, and it is naturally his teammates who are protected.

"Such a person as a captain is far more reliable than a martial artist with superior force. So, I decided to join. ”

Li Xuan didn't expect that General Huangfu, who was regarded as his target, had a high evaluation of himself to the extent that he could make him the captain.

The emperor also applauded at the first time: "Okay! Sure enough, he is worthy of being my chief of the guard, so courageous!"

Then he said to Li Xuan: "I will give you seven days to form a demon hunting team in the imperial capital, and when you are ready, you will set off before the fifteenth day of the Burning Demon Month." ”

"By Your Majesty's grace!"

In the next few days, Li Xuan selected masters inside and outside the imperial capital at the suggestion of Huang Fu Jue.

After the emperor gave the order, those opponents in the Monster Province did not speak again.

At the same time, Li Xuan also asked Tao Xinping to make a wanted warrant for Yu Dongshui's portrait, and the governments of various cities issued it asked them to secretly investigate.

But just some human masters, is it really the opponent of the great magician?

Li Xuan still had doubts.

The 11th day of the Burning Demon Month of the Holy Emperor's calendar.

On the top floor of the tall divine tower, full of divine aura, sat a middle-aged man with a kind face.

His gowns are variously decorated, and they can dazzle in the light;

There is a crown made of crystal on the head, some of which imitate the traces of [Fantian];

The golden scepter in his hand is set with a fist-sized delicate green gem carved from the legendary jade, and the countless gems below it reflect the extraordinary power of the scepter like the stars holding the moon.

It was the [Holy Emperor's Cane] that represented the power of the Church, and the crystal crown on his head was indeed made based on Fantian.

The luxury of a costume far exceeds that of the emperor who ruled the Beglie Empire.

He is the Pope of the Holy Church, a being who connects myth and reality.

Today, he is in a metropolis east of Iaur, which is said to be the birthplace of the Immortal Emperor;

Critien, a city no less in size than the city of Rockshire, is now the seat of the Episcopal Church of the Holy Queens.

Kneeling reverently before the Pope were the Christians who had just turned in their secret letters.

Although there is no need to bow down in front of the emperor, when facing the pope, it should be like the emperor of eternal life, whether you want to or not, you have to bow down.

In a way, in a world where faith has turned into madness, the clergy is higher than the imperial power.

And the further east you go, the more power the pope will have.

However, the emperor of the Karokemen Empire would have welcomed the pope to help stabilize the situation in the country than in other countries.

On the contrary, the emperor of the Begret Empire always regarded him as a thorn in the side and undermined the long-term peace and stability of the empire.

Of course, these unspoken rules are impossible for ordinary people to know.

The Pope carefully read the information he had obtained from a special source, his face gloomy at first, then a smile.

"Very well, go down. ”

He raised his hand to burn the letter and told the person in front of him to leave first.

When he was the only one in the room, he burst out laughing.

The Great Magician has been reincarnated!

This is the information I got from the letter.

However, this news, which should have been a headache for the Pope, was reversed by the intelligence that followed, which made him excited:

The Emperor of the Beglie Empire not only did not notify the church in the first place, but also tried to conceal the information about the reincarnation of the Great Magician!

Not only that, but he also ordered someone who has sympathy for the great magician to be the captain of the so-called demon hunting team!

What a godsend!

The emperor's idea should be to use the great magician to improve his reputation.

I have to say that if he didn't get the information, it might be a big threat to his status as pope.

But it's different these days.

Such a risky move was caught by the Pope, and with such information, the emperor could be doomed by turning his hand.

Concealing information about the Grand Mage?

Send such a person to hunt down the Grand Mage? Could it be that you want to form an alliance with the Great Mage?

There are so many points that can be attacked, so many that the Pope doesn't know how to kill them with one hit.

The Pope could not contain his excitement and got up and went to the rooftop.

The afterglow of the sunset was sprinkled on his ornate gown, imprinted by the colorful light, like a god descending and opening his arms to the world.

When the crowd at the foot of the pagoda saw the Pope, they immediately knelt down in unison, clasped their hands together in front of the Pope's embrace, and quietly prayed for protection.

The Pope looked at the believers below, and the ambition in his heart was aroused again.

Enjoy the last of the sun, Begret Empire.
