Chapter 195: I Sharpened This Sword for Twelve Years (11,000 Words)

The Laurent family, sword training room.

Amda held a thin blade in his hand, stabbing at the dummy opposite, constantly stabbing out, the sharp sword shadow flickering in the air, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

At this time, he heard a burst of footsteps, and slowly stopped moving.

Then, looking at the comer, there was a little more helplessness on his face, and he also complained in his heart: "They look down on others on the one hand, and they don't believe me at the same time, and in the end they are like this." ”

"When you get older, you have less guts. They now value reputation more than their lives, but they seem to forget that this is not how reputation comes from. ”

Fiona sat down on a chair not far away and said, "I'm going to see this afternoon's duel." ”

When Amda heard this, he asked, "Is he strong?" ”

Fiona nodded slightly: "His sword intent is very powerful. ”

"Yes." Amda wiped the sweat from her forehead and exhaled, "It seems that he is an opponent worth going all out." ”

As he spoke, he swung his sword at the dummy again.

At this moment, Fiona noticed that there seemed to be some kind of determination in him.

Her gaze stared at her, and she couldn't help but go back twelve years.

"It's so difficult, why do adults always like to practice this?"

She threw the heavy and long sword in her hand on the ground and asked, puzzled.

"Possibly. It's because it's handsome! ”

Amda said, gesturing a handsome sword-raising pose.

She asked curiously, "What about you?" Do you like to practice this because you are handsome? ”

Amda thought about it seriously: "Handsome is only one aspect, I like to practice this because I decided to do it a long time ago." I want to revive the glory of the Laurent family! ”

He said this in a very majestic manner.

"I thought you were trying to attract those girls and kiss them on the mouth," she said. ”

Amda's face darkened, and he quickly looked around: "Shh, didn't you promise me not to talk about it?" ”

She blinked and smiled: "There is no one around, what are you afraid of." ”

Amda looked at her seriously: "Anyway, don't talk about this matter anymore, otherwise I won't teach you swordsmanship in the future." ”

"Cut." She pouted: "I'm not uncommon to practice." ”

"Fiona, if you decide on something, don't give up easily." Amda still looked at her with a serious face: "Otherwise, you will never be able to truly resist them." ”

That sword, very heavy, very heavy.

But Fiona picked it up again.

"Have you been practicing your sword lately?"

Amda's figure pulls Fiona back from her memories.

Fiona nodded.

"yes, if you think about it, we haven't been at war in a long time, right?"

Amda smiled and looked at her sister, who had grown up, "When I have time another day, I'll see if you have become stronger." ”

Fiona said, "I'm sure you'll be surprised." ”

"You've surprised me a lot."

Wiping his sweat again, Amda looked at the sky outside, walked outside and said, "It's not early, rest early." ”

Fiona let out an "um".

Amda walked to the door, stopped again, glanced back at her, wanted to say something, but only smiled, and walked out.

Walking out of the sword training room, his gaze became very determined.

Tomorrow's duel, he must win.

Not only because he is now the last hope of the Laurent family.

is even more because, if he can't keep winning, he won't be able to try to change his sister's fate in front of that group of people.

Fiona looked at his departing back, stood up, walked to the weapon rack, drew a thin blade from it, and looked at it quietly.

Next.

Message came from Quinn.

"Your Highness, at one o'clock last night, they went to the mountains and forests again the night before. Then about three o'clock they entered a cave and came out half an hour later. As far as I can see, there are no more items on the three of them. ”

Quinn slowly recounted what he had seen from the previous night's tracking.

When Lu Qi heard this, he asked, "Have you gone into the cave to see?" ”

Quinn replied, "After they left, I went in and looked around, and found that there wasn't much space inside, and there was nothing. ”

After listening, Lu Qi thought silently.

Based on Quinn's tracking for the past two days, it is almost certain that Panis and her uncle are looking for something.

And looking at what it looks like today, they seem to confirm the location.

A cave with a small space and nothing, but three people went in for half an hour before they came out.

No matter how he thought about it, Lu Qi felt that there was only one possibility.

That is, there are caves in the caves.

Yesterday Panis came to play for a while in the afternoon, but she didn't play long before she went back, and she didn't show anything unusual.

After thinking about it, Lu Qi decided that in that case, he would go over and see for himself tonight.

He was still curious about this matter.

And today, there is another hot event that has caused discussion all over the city.

It was the duel between Hughes, the envoy of the Scarnation and Amda, the eldest son of the Laurent family and the next successor.

As a famous swordsman on the list of sword halls, Amda is also well-known in the royal capital.

And in the aristocratic circle, it is naturally very famous.

It was hailed as the hope of reviving the Laurent family.

And Hughes has also lost five challengers of the Laurent family in a row in the last two days, which has allowed him to gain a lot of attention in a very short period of time and enter the public's field of vision.

That's one of Hughes's purposes.

He only hopes that the more people who are paying attention to this duel, the better.

In this way, when he crushed the last dignity of the Laurent family, everyone could come to witness.

For this, Hughes has been preparing for many years.

When he stood in the ring, he knew that the scene he had appeared countless times in his dreams had come to reality.

One o'clock in the afternoon.

In the hall of the sacred and just duel.

The audience seats, which can accommodate several thousand people, are already full of people paved with gray and white marble.

Some late audience members stood on the periphery without care, forming a human wall.

And above the higher seats, the nobles have already prepared a better position here.

Demacia had a great interest in this duel itself, and the scene at this moment was perfectly normal.

And today, Jiawen III also came to sit on the throne to witness this duel between the swordsman family of his own country and the swordsman family of foreign country.

This is another meaning of this duel.

The Laurent family carries more than just their own reputation, as a family with a long history of swordsmanship, he represents more than that.

At this moment, this pressure is all focused on the young people who are slowly stepping into the ring.

In preparation for today's duel, Amda specially changed into the most comfortable clothes he wore and trimmed his hair.

It's not to get a handsome hairstyle, but not to be affected by superfluous factors.

His sword had fought with him for decades, and before he stepped into the ring, Amda was ready.

Hughes stood across the ring.

His gaze was even colder than the banquet that day, and it was undisguised, a look that wanted to devour him.

And the momentum on his body is even more different.

The condensed sword intent all over his body made Amda, who was just standing on the opposite side, already feel a pressure.

He's strong.

Even at the banquet that day, Amda knew this, but today this thought flashed through his mind.

"It's coming, it's coming! Looks like I'm here at the right time. ”

"The duel is about to begin."

"I don't know which of them will win."

"Amuda is the heir to the Laurent family and I think he has a lot of confidence to win this fight."

"I don't think so, that Hughes was clearly prepared to take on the challenge."

"Speaking of which, is there any grudge between them?"

"yes, I don't know, why would you want to start a duel with Amda?"

In the audience, there were constantly heated discussions.

The voice reached Amda's ears, and he slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

When he opened it again, he had automatically blocked these sounds, and in his eyes, only the opponent on the other side was left.

"You are indeed different from the incompetent people of the previous two days."

Hughes raised the accessories in his hand at this time, with a sneer on his face: "At least the momentum looks different." ”

Amda looked at him and said, "I didn't let my brothers challenge you. ”

"It doesn't matter, what's the point? They don't come to me, I'll look for them sooner or later. You don't think you're the only one I'm going to challenge, do you? Hughes smiled casually, his gaze a little colder: "It's wrong to think like this, what I'm going to do is. The dignity of your entire Laurent family will be trampled to pieces! ”

Feeling the hatred surging up in him, Amda didn't say much, just raised his sword and swung it twice.

"I also want to thank you for saving me a lot of things." Hughes continued, contemptuously, "But now, you Laurent family have no dignity to speak of. ”

"To be honest, I was really disappointed, I thought I would see a powerful swordsman family when I came. I didn't expect it to be a bunch of wine bags and rice bags."

He looked at Amda with a sigh of relief, raised his sword, and waved it twice: "I hope you can change my mind." ”

"I will."

Amda said with serious eyes.

They then began to pace in circles face to face, completing the ritual before the duel began.

The chatter in the audience grew quiet as the ceremony began, and no one wanted to disturb the duelists in the ring.

Not far from the ring, the Laurent family sat there, staring closely at the ring.

Now that the duel venue is overcrowded, the Laurent family has not seen such a scene, but rarely experienced it firsthand.

Sebastian looked calmly at Amda, who looked resolute in the ring.

He held his wife's hand and silently soothed her feelings.

He will always support Amda's decision, and he will win or lose this duel, regardless of this duel.

"It's almost starting."

In the audience on the other side, Lux poked the waist of Lucky, who closed his eyes and was recuperating.

Lu Qi was full of excitement, opened his eyes and glared at her: "Can you call me in a normal way?" ”

Lux replied, "No." ”

Luki said that her answer was beautiful, and she looked to the ring.

As the last few steps of the dueling ceremony were completed, the two who returned to their original positions were a little more aggressive.

Both men were fully prepared for this duel.

For this day, Hughes has been preparing for more than ten years.

He's worked so hard for today!

He is going to defeat the Laurent family in the presence of all the kings!

The next moment, Hughes had already rushed forward with a brisk step, and his figure appeared in front of Amda in the blink of an eye, and the matching sword in his hand fell down at a faster speed.

"So fast!"

Amda's face remained unchanged, and he stabbed out his thin sword in the dodge, and began to counterattack calmly and orderly.

The sword flashed in mid-air, as if to show Amda's determination to win.

Even his opponents felt it.

However, in terms of wanting to win, Hughes, who has been preparing for this for more than ten years, how can he be weak.

The two who wanted to win both used their full strength at the moment the battle began.

Hughes wants to defeat Amuda as fast as he can, in order to shatter his dignity.

And Amda's desire to prove to the world that he would restore the glory of the Laurent family began with victory in this duel.

The beliefs of the two people clashed with fierce swordsmanship at this moment.

The sword light in the ring was staggered, like lightning and flint, and even sparks were rubbed.

The two duelists are desperate to defeat each other.

Every pair of eyes in the audience were glued to the ring, watching the lightning-fast battle.

Feeling the sword intent surging from Amda's body, Hughes swung his sword and said, "It seems that you are indeed different from those wastes two days ago, is this the swordsmanship of the Laurent family?" ”

"Yes, me." Amda's eyes were serious.

However, before he finished speaking, the sword light flashed in his eyes, and there was a stab on his arm, and a sword mark appeared in an instant, and blood splattered out.

Because of this sword, the audience briefly boiled for a moment.

This seemingly evenly matched duel has finally taken shape.

The Laurent family stood up and focused on the ring.

Fiona's eyes looked at the stage, and she clenched her fists unnoticed.

"It doesn't seem to be enough."

Contempt crossed Hughes's face.

Amda withdrew some distance and glanced at the wound, her face solemn.

In his eyes, Hughes's body, a more powerful sword intent was suppressed.

That sword intent made him stronger.

In the battle, Amda already felt this.

It can't be delayed any longer, it must be solved quickly!

Realizing this, Amda exhaled a breath of turbid air and lunged forward, stabbing the blade out of his hand.

A white glow flickered in the air, and his sword of all power appeared in front of Hughes at great speed.

Hughes looked at the sword and swung the weapon in his hand as well.

With a "bell", the two blades collided, but it was Amda's sword that was bounced away.

The astonishment in his eyes could no longer be suppressed.

"Looks like you've found out." Hughes looked at him and rushed forward, "You, not my opponent. ”

He slashed out with a sword in his hand, forcing Amda to retreat.

At this moment, the evenly matched battle situation no longer exists.

Amda tried his best to block his opponent's attack, but soon, his right shoulder, cheek, and thigh all had sword wounds of different severity.

There are a few swords, if he doesn't dodge them with all his strength, he will die directly on the spot.

Amda gritted her teeth and had no intention of giving up.

As long as he is not dead, there is still a turning point in the battle!

The thin sword in his hand stabbed out again, and it appeared extremely fast under the blessing of sword intent, but even this sword stopped stiffly in mid-air.

Amda looked at the blade hovering in front of his throat and couldn't take another step forward.

The tip of the blade had already cut a drop of red blood down his throat.

"You can go on, I might lose an arm."

Hughes sneered and looked at Amuda, the long blade in his hand stopped steadily in mid-air, and he looked at the man opposite.

If he stabbed a little further, he would die on the spot.

In this duel, he was allowed to do so.

Even if you kill him here, you won't face any consequences.

However, he didn't want to do that.

Hughes withdrew the long blade in his hand, looked at Amda, who was weakly kneeling down in front of him, and looked at him condescendingly: "Compared to those wastes from the previous two days, you seem to be just a scrap that looks a little powerful." Your sword is so weak that it makes me want to laugh, why don't you thank me for giving you the right to live? ”

He won't kill him.

He wants him to live in the humiliation of today for the rest of his life.

Amda's clothes were soaked in blood, and he knelt there with a blow, and the unwillingness in his heart was so powerless compared to the humiliation at the moment.

He lost.

Isn't that what a dueling challenge is?

There is only one person who can stand in the ring.

He thought he would lose, but he didn't think it would be in such an undignified way.

He didn't even manage to leave a wound on his opponent's body.

If he could, he even hoped that the sword just now could be stabbed out.

In this way, he can also close his eyes decently.

He didn't dare to look up at the moment, and his figure seemed to be drowned in the sound of the boiling audience.

"Amda actually lost?"

"I didn't expect it to be that Hughes who won."

"This"

"But it seems that Hughes's strength is indeed not weak."

"The heir to the Laurent family, hehe, it's ridiculous."

"It's such an embarrassing loss, tsk."

In the stands, the chatter in the audience continued to come out, and many nobles and common people couldn't believe Amda's defeat.

However, at this moment, such a fact is in front of us.

Standing in the ring was the man who had come to take revenge from a foreign country.

There were also some nobles, with interested expressions on their faces, looking at the Laurent family on the other side of the ring.

Looking at their incredulous expressions, they all wanted to laugh.

Your only heir, your only hope, is now also lost.

Now, what else do you have to offer?

At this moment, many of Laurent's clansmen turned blue, looking at Amda who fell in the ring, and finally showed a touch of helplessness.

This battle, they watched in their eyes.

So I don't blame Amda for being weak.

The opponent who comes prepared is indeed very strong.

He knew so much about the swordsmanship of the Laurent family, and he was too well prepared.

It's just that in this way, the Laurent family will never be able to raise their heads again.

What exactly are they working for?

At this moment, every Laurent's clan lowered their heads.

"See? In the royal capital of that year, just like now, my father knelt in front of your father like this! ”

With a pleasant smile on his lips and a gleam of excitement in his eyes, Hughes looked around at the audience.

Amda couldn't make a sound, and her clenched hand loosened weakly.

Sebastian stepped into the ring and helped Amda to his feet.

Hughes looked at him and said coldly, "I did it, and I gave it back to you the humiliation you made my father suffer that year." But. That's not enough, that's just the beginning, and I'm going to double that to you. ”

However, Sebastian just looked at him calmly, and without saying a word, he helped Amda and headed down the ring.

Hughes, on the other hand, gave a thumbs up in front of the audience, in the direction of the Laurent family, and then slowly twisted it downward.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of mockery and contempt.

Countless voices poured into Amda's ears.

His mood was on the verge of collapse, and he suddenly began to understand the meaning of his sword training for so many years.

Is it for this day that I have suffered all the humiliation?

It turned out that in the eyes of others, his vow to revive the Laurent family was just a joke.

The light in his eyes dimmed.

"Didn't you say that don't give up easily."

A voice rang out.

Amda looked at the figure walking beside him in a daze.

Sebastian's body also paused at this moment.

And in the audience, there was another boiling discussion.

The Laurent family was also a little unable to sit still.

"What is she going up there for?"

"Haven't you lost enough face?"

"This girl!"

"Irma, let her come back!"

One by one, they looked at the stage.

Hughes looked at the figure opposite, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an interested smile: "Oh? The Laurent family is no longer able to rely on a woman to save face? ”

"I, Fiona Laurent, challenge you to a duel."

Fiona ignored the words and pointed the spanker in her hand at Hughes.

"Hahaha! Interesting, so funny! ”

Hughes resisted the urge to laugh out loud and looked at her with a gaze that Fiona had seen countless times, "Miss, I recognize your beauty. Still, don't joke about duels and the like. ”

As he spoke, his gaze froze: "You must know that my malice towards the Laurent family is not limited to men. ”

"I'm serious." Fiona looked at Hughes calmly: "Life or death, you can refuse." ”

"I have no reason to refuse the challenge that any one of the Laurent family has challenged me."

Hughes shook off the sword in his hand, shook off the blood stains on it, and looked at Fiona: "Since you have the courage to step into this ring, it means that you are ready, right?" ”

Fiona didn't answer the question, her eyes looking around.

Looking at the audience of countless discussions, looking at the nobles present, looking at the incomprehensible Laurents.

She muttered to herself, "yes, I'm ready." ”

Hughes thought she was answering her own question, so she said, "Well, I'll give you the challenge." ”

Under the ring, the Laurent family was full of puzzlement.

"Is this girl crazy? I even have to launch a challenge. ”

"Who made her such nonsense!"

"Really, don't we have enough of losing face!"

"How could she be his opponent?"

"Elma, get your daughter back!"

Several clan elders and several clansmen looked at Irma one by one, or at the stage, wanting Fiona to come back without permission.

The elder of the big clan shouted, "Elma, what are you doing in a daze? ”

Irma was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "I don't. ”

The elder of the big clan was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" ”

"Now that the girl has made a decision, we have no reason to interfere anymore." Irma raised her head and looked directly at the elder of the clan: "I don't want to interfere anymore. ”

"I think you're crazy too! How could she be someone else's opponent. ”

The elder of the big clan looked at her unreasonably, and then looked at Sebastian: "Let your daughter come back!" ”

When Sebastian heard this, he glanced at the stage, but remembered in his mind that for countless days and nights, he secretly watched his daughter silently practicing swords.

Then, he spoke: "I support her." ”

The elder of the big clan was stunned again, and at the same time, there were other clansmen who were stunned.

They want to say, these two couples, I'm afraid they're crazy, right?

Looking at the stage, the opponent had already agreed to Fiona's dueling challenge, and they suddenly sat down weakly.

It's messed up, it's all messed up.

Why, a woman from the Laurent family, would stand in the ring?

How long had they not had a woman come forward like this?

For a long time, several clan elders did not have this impression.

In the audience, the audience was also very excited, not only because Fiona looked amazing on stage.

All the more so because it doesn't seem to be over yet.

They are about to witness a challenge from women to men!

"Is that the young lady of the Laurent family?"

"It's so good-looking, isn't it?"

"Why did she dare to challenge Hughes?"

"Is it revenge for her brother Amda?"

"Why haven't I heard of her before? Is she amazing? ”

"How good can a woman be."

"Hey, I don't think she's a little familiar."

In the crowd, a man with a broad body and a bear mask showed a thoughtful expression of remembrance.

On the other side, looking at Fiona standing in the ring, Lux was also completely excited.

Regardless of the slightest aristocratic temperament, he stood up, beckoning and shouting, "Fiona! Come on! Fiona! Come on! ”

She was like a cheerleader, shouting hard and loudly.

Then there was Poppy, standing on the hammer, looking farther and screaming harder.

"Can you settle down a bit? Isn't it a shame? ”

On the side, Luqi looked at her with disgust, then stood up as well, and shouted while waving, "Fiona! Come on! ”

Kahina looked at them helplessly, and also stood up to join the cheering team.

The surrounding spectators avoided some distance.

In the ring, Fiona raised her eyes as if sensing something, and looked at one place.

Seeing the scene of Lu Qi and them waving and shouting, a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Ready to get started? Lady. ”

Hughes looked at Fiona opposite, and after thinking for a long time, he still didn't say the sarcastic words.

Fiona looked at the thin sword in her hand and suddenly said, "I have been sharpening this sword for twelve years. ”

For some reason, Hughes understood the meaning of her words, and laughed: "Coincidentally, the sword in my hand has also been sharpened for fifteen years, just for this day." ”

"So it's time to say goodbye to the past."

Fiona shifted her gaze to her opponent, swinging her sword twice in mid-air before standing in front of her.

The elegant and calm posture, coupled with the beautiful face, suddenly made many people dazzled.

Even if it was her opponent, Hughes had to admit that her beauty like a snow lotus was really rare.

The people of the Laurent family looked at her skillful sword grip posture and immediately understood that she must be secretly practicing swordsmanship.

But now that she's on the stage, they don't have much more to say.

The rules of the duel challenge, once both parties agree to a duel, then no one can stop it.

Amda looked at the stage in a daze, looking at the girl standing clenched, a little distracted.

And looking at the cold look in the eyes of the sword girl in front of him, that kind of calm as water.

Hughes's hairs suddenly stood upside down, and his gaze became serious in the next moment.

There are very few people who can give him such a feeling.

Just a look made Hughes feel that the woman in front of him was much more pressure than Amda brought him.

"Are you here to avenge Amda?"

Hughes spoke up, trying to relieve the pressure through conversation.

He couldn't understand why a woman could make him feel depressed before the fight began.

This is unusual.

"Sort of." Fiona replied lightly: "Of course, it's more for myself." I want to show some old fellows who don't open their eyes if my sword is weaker than the others. ”

Hughes understood: "So use me as a stepping stone?" ”

"You can understand it that way." Fiona doesn't deny it.

"Let's see if you can gnaw on my hard rock."

The attitude of the woman in front of him made Hughes feel that she was even more arrogant than himself, he would never allow this to happen, and he would not be a stepping stone for anyone.

The sword intent of fighting against Amda is still accumulating and has not dissipated.

Little did she know that she was facing a stronger opponent than Amda's.

But it doesn't matter.

Whether it is a man or a woman, he will be defeated mercilessly, and he will humiliate all Laurent's people.

Fiona listened to this, and the corners of her mouth curled into a chuckle, but she did not say the cruel words.

In fact, in her eyes, he is not a hard stone.

Then, according to the ritual of the duel, the two began to pace in circles.

Fiona's movements are skilful and professional, as if she has been practicing for a long time.

And when the two return to their positions, it also means that the battle begins.

"Me"

Hughes opened his mouth to say something, when he suddenly paused.

I just felt my heart tighten, and the feeling of hair standing on end appeared again!

The next moment, from the other party, the sword intent that surged up in an instant made him no longer care about speaking, and rushed forward with a brisk step.

Under the ring, all the members of the Laurent family stood up and looked at the stage in disbelief.

The long blade in Hughes's hand slashed straight at Fiona's heart without hesitation, and slashed a cold light in mid-air, very fast.

"It's the only sword you can swing at me."

Fiona turned sideways with a calm face, and the thin sword in her hand was gently raised.

Hughes instantly felt a great danger, and instinctively withdrew his long blade to block.

The sword was dangerously protective of the vital point, and his eyes widened to see his opponent's movements.

It's too fast, when did that sword come out just now?

This question had just arisen, and the next moment, a piercing white light made Hughes have to deal with the next question.

He unleashed the sword intent all over his body, wanting to use it to fight against Fiona's sword intent.

However, in just a split second, the sword intent in his body was devoured.

Immediately after that, this sword intent even made Hughes feel a suffocating feeling of depression, making him feel like his whole body was on his back.

Looking at the flickering coldness in the other party's cold eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked in his eyes.

Consummation-level sword intent!?

He retreated in the middle of the block, unable to imagine that he would encounter a monster that had comprehended the consummation-level sword intent.

She's still so young.

With a few sounds, a few cold rays like sword flowers flashed in the air, as fast as if only afterimages had appeared.

And at this moment, Hughes found that he already had two more wounds on his body.

As Fiona took a step forward, the further sense of oppression generated by the powerful Peerless Sword Intent was like a wave drowning towards Hughes.

I saw her raise her hand slightly, and there were a few cold rays in the air.

Hughes was forced to retreat step by step, and he couldn't find a chance to fight back, and there were already a few more wounds on his body.

Soon, he realized something that frightened him.

That is, these wounds on his body are exactly the same as the places he left on Amda's body before!

Just when he realized this, his heart suddenly trembled, and a feeling as if he was enveloped by sword intent emerged.

He looked at Fiona, who was holding a sword on the other side, and a feeling appeared in his heart that she had completely seen through it.

The thin sword in Fiona's hand seemed to glow with dazzling white light.

Hughes's brain was racing rapidly at this moment, which direction would her next sword come from?

With a "poof", a sharp pain came from his shoulder, and a trance realized that Fiona was gone in front of him.

He immediately felt bad, and turned sharply, only to find that a thin sword had stopped at his throat, and a drop of crimson blood appeared.

If you take one step further, he will die on the spot.

Obviously, the sword hadn't been pierced yet, but Hughes already had a feeling of being pierced.

"While you're thinking about it, my sword is out of the picture."

Fiona looked at Hughes in front of her with a look of disbelief on her face.

Same scene, same scene, just different characters.

At this moment, even in the audience, there was silence.

The battle is over?

Under the ring, everyone in the Laurent family looked dull.

Looking at Fiona holding a sword in the ring, Amda's eyes that were about to go out lit up again.

He thought about the little girl who stubbornly asked him to learn swords.

Now, that girl is standing proudly on the stage, and her posture is so beautiful.

Isn't this exactly the meaning of his sword practice?

At this moment, the audience was boiling!

"She actually won?!"

"Miss Laurent is amazing!"

"What a fast sword, what a handsome sword!"

"Has this duel started for a minute?"

"To be honest, this is the most shocking duel I've ever seen."

"Elegant, so elegant!"

"It feels like she's won, so relaxed!"

"That Hughes was defeated so quickly?"

Countless voices rang out, and until this moment, everyone's voice was full of surprise.

Just as no one thought that Amda would lose, Hughes's defeat this time also made them feel unimaginable.

Moreover, the defeat was too fast, and I am afraid that not a minute has passed before the duel begins.

The incomparable elegance and strength of Jian Ji this time left an indelible impression on the people in the audience.

And in the aristocratic seat, looking at the sword girl on the stage, the sword girl with a sword, people seemed to recall Sebastian who was one person and one sword.

No, even, the shock that Jian Ji brought to them now is far greater than Sebastian back then.

Her sword looks more ornate, more graceful, more deadly, and more powerful!

This, this, this.

A second ago, they thought the Laurent family was no longer good.

Why did you turn your head and a Fiona popped up?

They have been doing it for a long time, is this the big move that has been holding back?

However, soon the nobles found that many of the Laurent family had blank expressions on their faces, indicating that they did not know about it.

What an eye-opener today!

"Did you see that! So handsome! ”

In the audience, Lux excitedly tugged at Lucci's sleeve, as excited as if she was the one standing in the ring at the moment.

"I'm not blind, I see it." Lu Qi looked at her speechlessly, and his eyes fell on the ring.

Looking at Fiona's sword-wielding figure, she thought thoughtfully.

This sword girl chick, when did she quietly hold back a consummation-level sword intent?

The perfection-level unparalleled sword intent, that's a qualitative change.

In the ring.

"You spare his life, I spare you."

With that, Fiona drew her rapier.

Houston sat on the ground, gasping for breath, feeling as if he had regained his life, he looked at Fiona in front of him, still in disbelief: "You really are. The Laurent family? ”

Why?

The Laurent swordsmanship he felt when he fought with this sword girl was completely different?

Is this the real Laurent swordsmanship?

Gorgeous, beautiful, and powerful.

As a first-hand experiencer, he had never seen such sword skills.

"Fiona Laurent."

Fiona repeated her name, then bowed gracefully and turned to walk under the ring.

She headed in the direction of the Laurent family.

Irma rushed up and took her into her arms with concern: "You girl, scare me to death." ”

Although she had just said that, her heart was still trembling until this moment.

Feeling her mother's concern, Fiona's mouth hooked up with a smile.

Amda, who had not even finished bandaging the wounds on her body, also looked at her at this time and said, "You are really, it surprises me." ”

Fiona smiled, "Looks like my goal has been achieved." ”

She glanced at her brother and then at her father.

Sebastian's gaze fell on her very gently, and there was a flash of kindness in it.

Fiona knew that her father had been working silently behind her back for so many years.

In fact, he already knew that she was secretly practicing swords.

However, he never stopped or said anything.

At this time, the elder of the great clan stepped forward and couldn't help but ask, "What did you use just now with a consummation-level sword intent?" ”

"Yes."

Fiona replied briefly.

"Oh" The old man nodded sluggishly, forgetting what he was going to ask next.

The elder of the second clan stepped forward: "When did you practice the sword?" ”

Fiona replied again: "When I was a child, I never stopped. ”

"This" The old man of the two clans thought about it, and suddenly clapped his hands: "Wow, how good you practice!" I watched your female doll succeed when I was a child, and I didn't let you practice swords back then, just to hone your mind. ”

The elder of the three clans stepped forward: "Yes, yes, I hope you don't mind." ”

"I mind." Fiona smiled and said bluntly.

If she hadn't shown her hand today, she wouldn't have known that these clan elders still had two faces.

Her straightforward answer made the three clan elders look embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say.

However, the embarrassment was soon washed away by the other tribesmen, and a whole bunch of questions surrounded Fiona.

"I'm tired, take my leave."

Fiona, on the other hand, ignored all these questions and walked out of the crowd coldly.

However, her arrogance at the moment made everyone in the clansmen behind her look at each other have no temper.

But their mood at the moment must be good.

Unexpectedly, the last face of the Laurent family was actually recovered by a female doll.

Thinking of how they thought that Fiona couldn't practice swordsmanship before, they were ashamed.

I'm damned!

Consummation-level sword intent, looking at the entire history of the Laurent family, how many people can comprehend it?

Fiona is only how old, less than twenty years old!

Nineteen-year-old Consummation-level sword intent.

Wow rub.

Could it be that they were blind in the first place and missed such a treasure?

The three clan elders sat in a row, looking at their feet silently, and suddenly had the urge to slap themselves.

"Second brother, you say, are we old?"

"yes, I don't feel like I'm keeping up with the times."

"Or, the family's affairs, let's get less involved in the future?"

"I think so, this time it is a painful lesson for me, if there is no female doll, our Laurent family is afraid that they will not be able to lift their heads."

"I don't think it's too late for us to help her get married."

"Indeed, such an excellent female doll, can't you find a better male doll?"

The three old men discussed one by one.

And in the ring, Hughes, who had no one to support him, got up alone and walked silently towards the ring.

As the protagonist a few minutes ago, he has been completely forgotten.

has been preparing for revenge for so long, but I didn't expect that today, it will become her.

However, he was helpless.

The apocalyptic minute in the ring made him see the gap between him and her.

He silently clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with unwillingness, could it be that his father's hatred was just given up?

Leaving one of the exits of the dueling venue, the messenger of Skar Grace stood waiting.

Looking at Hughes, who walked out with a gloomy face covering his wounds, he spoke: "This time, you launched a dueling challenge without authorization, causing such a big movement, and after returning home, there will be punishment." ”

"Whatever."

Hughes walked out with a cold face.

Seeing him walk past him, the envoy thought for a moment and said, "It seems that your obsession is very deep, but I think there is something you should know." ”

Hughes stopped, turned his back to him, and waited for the rest of the story.

"Back then, you only saw Sebastian humiliate your father after a duel. But do you know why he did it? ”

The envoy said slowly.

Hughes turned and stared at the envoy.

Looking at him, the envoy said, "It was your father who humiliated his wife first." ”

One sentence made Hughes stunned as if he had been struck by thunder, and he said in disbelief: "What did you say? ”

At that welcoming reception, Sebastian was in charge of receiving the messenger of Skar Grace. Your father, as a representative of the envoys, insulted Sebastian's wife after drinking a few bottles of wine, and wanted to do something to her. ”

"Then came the challenge. After your father returned to China, he was shameless and chose to resign. At the beginning, in order to maintain the dignity of Skar Guoen, it was just a challenge to admire. ”

The envoy calmly revealed the truth of the year.

And Hughes, who learned all this, was completely stunned on the spot, and his belief in life seemed to collapse at this moment.

In this case, does his revenge seem so ridiculous?

"If I had known that you would do this when you came to Debang, I wouldn't have brought you here."

The envoy looked at him sluggishly and sighed: "I think you should let go of the past." I don't want to see a good swordsman continue to be blinded by false hatred. This matter, no matter whether you win or lose today's duel, I will tell you. It's just to not interfere with your state that I chose to say it now. ”

"I think it's time for you to find a new direction for yourself."

Hughes listened to this in a daze.

He suddenly felt that his life was like a joke.

The sword, which has been sharpened for fifteen years, turned out to be wrong.

Remembering what I had said earlier.

Nima, it's embarrassing.

Go back to your home and hurry back home!

This Demacia he didn't want to stay longer for a second.
