Chapter 456: New Ability of the Liuyan Sword

Luoning had already had a brief sparring match with Jialete back during the founding ceremony.

At the time, to save face for his brother-in-law and also out of consideration for concealing his strength, Luoning ended that contest by voluntarily conceding.

He did not expect that this action would lead Jialete to mistakenly believe his strength was inferior to his own.

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince has proposed a solution, then I have no choice but to comply."

Luoning's expression was relaxed, "Ruidar, keep a close eye on Mofisite for me; don't let him take the opportunity to run."

"Yes, my lord!"

Ruidar flashed, arriving not far behind Mofisite; the speed was so fast that Jialete and the Knights who came with him turned pale, the pressure in their hearts increasing sharply.

Yet, Jialete was secretly rejoicing in his heart.

Fortunately, Luoning accepted his challenge; as long as he won just like last time, presumably the other party would not go back on his word in public.

He drew the long sword handed over by the Sword Official, "Come on, Luoning, let me see what capital you have to be so arrogant!"

Whoosh!

As the words fell, Jialete transformed into a purple shadow and charged toward Luoning.

As soon as he entered the fray, he went all out, using his greatest strength!

Luoning focused to respond; it just so happened he could take this opportunity to test his current strength.

A loud clang rang out as the long swords collided.

Luoning only felt that the Liuyan Sword in his hand was more comfortable to use than ever before, and with the infusion of Battle Qi, the bonus from the sword seemed even greater.

Besides that, he seemed to have a vague intuition that the Liuyan Sword contained a special ability waiting for him to discover.

Battle Qi roared; Luoning stood firm with both feet, while Jialete was sent flying back by the massive impact.

"Impossible!"

Jialete's expression changed wildly; just from this blow, he felt a pressure so powerful it was unshakable.

How could Luoning possess such strong power?

The several Knights who followed His Highness the Crown Prince also revealed looks of shock; they did not expect that Jialete, known as the number one person of the younger generation, would actually be at a disadvantage.

"Thunder Roar!"

The purple Thunder was nearly running wild; wherever the electric fox passed, the ground was directly blasted into huge craters.

Jialete slashed out with his sword, the tyrannical Thunder almost covering Luoning's entire field of vision.

At this moment, Luoning seemed to hear the voice transmitted to him by the Liuyan Sword; this voice told him that he only needed to swing his sword once to make the Thunder before him vanish.

Thus, Luoning followed this feeling and swung his sword fiercely.

In an instant, the space before him turned into a sea of fire.

This flame surged up, forming a terrifying and tyrannical god of slaughter, instantly swallowing Jialete's Thunder completely, and then, carrying the remaining power, lunged toward Jialete.

The usually proud and conceited Crown Prince felt as if he sensed the Grim Reaper beckoning to him; his whole body went cold, and an unprecedented fear gripped his heart.

"Protect His Highness!"

"Quick!"

His five guards all stepped forward, wanting to rush up to block the remaining force of this blow for Jialete.

It was a pity that their movements were still half a beat too slow; the scorching flames had already wrapped Jialete within them and smashed him toward the distance.

Those five Knights successively revealed their Battle Qi Armor; two of them caught Jialete's heavily injured, flying body, but the massive impact caused those two to be sent flying along with him.

The remaining three were the same, all heavily injured and sent flying, crashing down onto the desolate mountain terrain.

Pfft!

The Liuyan Sword was fiercely plunged into the ground, and Luoning could not help but gasp violently.

This sword strike just now not only drained his Battle Qi but also consumed a massive amount of Magic Power and Mental Power.

At this moment, even moving his fingers was extremely difficult for him.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have used this move!"

Although Luoning cursed himself for being a bit rash in his heart, he also highly praised the power of this move.

"Let's call this move... Heaven Fire Scorches the Plains!"

He gave it a name in his heart.

After the extreme subsided, the five attendant Knights struggled to stand up, but Jialete lay on the ground, staring at the sky with dull eyes.

On his body, a layer of energy crystal shield slowly shattered; this was the Level 8 Earth Attribute Magic Protective Holy Armor.

If not for this life-saving ability, Jialete would likely be heavily injured and unconscious by now.

But even so, he felt scorching pain all over his body, as if his bones had fallen apart.

Of course, the physical pain was secondary; the trauma to his soul was the most serious injury Jialete suffered in this contest.

He had never thought he would lose to Luoning, and lose so thoroughly.

Two moves—the other party only used two moves to not only defeat him but also defeat all five of his attendants.

One must know that among these five, three were Meteor Knights, and the remaining two were both Golden Grade peaks, long-renowned warriors of the border.

In another direction, after seeing this scene, Mofisite was scared out of his wits; with such terrifying strength, even if he absorbed a bit more Soul Power to consolidate his strength, he would have no way to contend with it.

He saw Luoning leaning on his sword and gasping, feeling this was an opportunity.

"Escape!"

Instantly, Mofisite transformed into a black light and fled frantically.

But before he had gone a few dozen meters, a heavy punch knocked him flying back, and he rolled on the ground who knows how many times before stopping.

"You cannot kill me!"

Mofisite screamed, suddenly pointing at Hesusu: "If you kill me, he will die too! He is the King's own younger brother, a member of the Auduin Royal Family!"

Ruidar stopped his movements and looked at Luoning, the latter softly spitting out the word "kill."

A Grand Archmage at the end of his rope met a Blazing Sun Knight who was at nearly full strength; although Mofisite still used spells like Dark Bat to struggle, they were all easily neutralized by Ruidar.

Following a sharp piercing sound, Ruidar's longsword pierced through Mofisite's body.

Battle Qi invaded the opponent's body through the wound, rampaging inside Mofisite.

This Shadow Envoy, who had harmed hundreds of thousands of living beings, had his eyes wide open and his mouth agape, with dense cracks appearing on his pale face, just like parched earth.

These cracks grew larger and larger, and finally, with a bang, he exploded with a boom, turning into powder and dissipating between heaven and earth.

The Witch Soul Bead that had been fused into Mofisite's body floated in the void, then its light surged violently and it shattered with a boom.

"Urgh!"

Hesusu, who had been fine just a moment ago, struggled frantically as if someone had grabbed his throat, ultimately unable to escape the fate of death.

But compared to the other Witch Soul Knights and soldiers, he was left with an intact corpse, which could be considered fortunate.

Jialete had long since been helped up by his subordinates, watching this scene quietly without speaking to stop it again.

His main thoughts were still lingering on the matter of his own failure, which he could not accept.

At the same time, the knights who were still engaged in the final battle in the city below the mountain stopped one after another.

The last remaining thousand or so Witch Soul Knights actually struggled and fell to the ground, without the slightest movement.

"We won?" someone asked in disbelief.

"We won!"

"We won!"

Following one cheer, a second and a third followed, and in the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was filled with the sound of cheering.

Lulansi panted heavily; he had not fought so heartily in Along time, and it could be considered a re-experience of the brilliance and excitement from over thirty years ago.

He looked toward the distant mountain peak, "The last of these fellows to die must have been caused by Luoning's side. So, Mofisite must be dead?"

He leaped and walked through the air, rushing toward the mountaintop.

At the same time, a group of Griffins flew in from the distant horizon; this was the belated Royal Griffin Knight Squad. (End of this chapter)
