Although the last exchange hadn’t caused any real damage, the outcome clearly showed he had come out at a disadvantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the impassive Lurans, Ossen’s expression grew solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I really can’t underestimate Lurans. He reached the Meteor Level over thirty years ago, after all, while I’ve only just broken through.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of fundamentals, Lurans’s foundation was immeasurably deeper than Ossen’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But it’s not like I have no chance of winning.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen’s eyes narrowed as he carefully sized up Lurans. ’He’s fighting me while suppressing his internal injuries, so he must want to end this battle quickly. If I just keep up a relentless assault and force him to use his Fighting Qi intensely, he won’t be able to keep his condition in check. Then, I can win easily.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen broke into a run. As he moved, he raised his left hand and sent out a continuous barrage of palm strikes. His Fighting Qi condensed into massive Water Wave Palms that rushed at Lurans from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Using Water Wave Palm to confuse your opponent before seizing an opportunity to attack... has your fighting style really not changed at all over the years?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans plunged his Longsword into the ground. Flames erupted around him, forming a red Flaming Tornado that blocked all the incoming Water Wave Palms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HISS~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As water and fire met, steam instantly filled the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the Flaming Tornado rapidly expanded, it blew all the steam away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans seized the opening and took the offensive, predicting Ossen’s movements and appearing before him with incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That trick won’t work on me. Try something else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swept his Longsword horizontally, and a torrent of Thunderbolt surged forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen’s expression changed. He pushed off the ground with his feet, using the recoil from his Fighting Qi to rapidly escape the Thunderbolt’s range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect you to still be this fast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen charged back in, opting for close-quarters combat. \"But I know your situation. You want to end this quickly. We’re both at the Meteor Level. I may not be able to defeat you, but it’s impossible for you to take me down in a short amount of time either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Lurans’s mouth curled up. The Longsword in his hand plummeted down, so fast that it made the air whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the force of the violent impact, Ossen was sent flying backward. His face changed drastically. \"Your Power... how...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you remember what I told you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans closed the distance. The Thunderbolt on his left palm transformed into a sharp blade and stabbed toward Ossen’s chest. \"Never underestimate any opponent, even an injured one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin’s heart leaped into his throat. ’Is he going to win just like that?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And from Lurans’s posture, it looked like he intended to kill Ossen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not lose!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen let out a furious roar. Fighting Qi erupted wildly from his Sea of Qi, coalescing around his body into a thick layer of Ice Armor. He looked as if he had been frozen within a thick sheet of ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans’s hand, now a Thunder Blade, slammed into the Ice Armor. Thunderbolt shot out, cutting cracks into the Ice Armor with a ZAP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some arcs of lightning passed directly through the Ice Armor and struck Ossen’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen felt a numbness spread through his body. That sensation he hated most was back again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was only a slight numbness. If the Thunder Blade had actually cut him, he would have been severely injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen’s Fighting Qi erupted, shattering the Ice Armor. Propelled by the blast of Fighting Qi, the fragments turned into projectiles that shot toward Lurans, instantly reversing their offensive and defensive roles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans hastily summoned his Fighting Qi Armor to block the attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the force of the close-range impact still sent him flying. For a moment, his blood surged, and his whole body ached with spasms. His right hand, in particular, twitched so badly he couldn’t even hold his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PTHOO!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. Although he managed to land on his feet, he staggered as if he were about to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene immediately drew gasps from the onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who didn’t know the situation would wonder why the Marquis, who just had the upper hand, had suddenly ended up like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin, along with many others, stood up, wanting to rush forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, a person appeared before them with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jesus’s voice rang out from behind. \"Lurans has not surrendered. According to the rules, you cannot interfere with this match.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin studied the man before him with a grave expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier that afternoon, Broel had revealed that this man was named Ramsay. He was Jesus’s son-in-law, a Knight, and a Vassal—and more importantly, the only Meteor Level fighter in Moonlight Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield, Ossen’s pupils contracted violently as he saw Lurans’s condition, his face overcome with ecstatic joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’An opportunity!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ignored the numbness in his body, raised his sword, and charged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The backlash hit him! I’ve won this fight!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting for more than thirty years, he could finally defeat this man and wash away the shame of his past defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that very moment, Lurans suddenly raised his head and shot forward to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans’s left hand clamped down on Ossen’s right, the one holding the sword, controlling his wrist. At the same time, he brought the fingers of his right hand together to form a blade hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rampant lightning Energy condensed on his palm, forming a blindingly bright Thunderbolt Blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen’s eyes went wide as he stared in disbelief at the aged face right before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were the one who got careless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thunder Blade stabbed forward, piercing straight through Ossen’s Fighting Qi Armor and his inner protective Armor, and into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>HAH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen raised his left hand and struck fiercely at Lurans’s chest, trying to break free. But the pain from his abdomen had already greatly reduced his Power, and a paralyzing sensation was spreading throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans spat out two mouthfuls of blood but bared his teeth in a grin. \"Let me show you something interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning, which should have been purple, was suddenly infused with an inky black Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Energy was bizarre and sinister. It flowed along with the Power of Thunder and Lightning into Ossen’s body, instantly coursing through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ossen couldn’t help but howl in pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Power of Thunder and Lightning seemed to be acting on his every cell, and that black Energy began to corrode his skin, his internal organs, and even his bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I surrender!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I, Ossen Hyde, surrender!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zap~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lightning stopped, and the inky black Energy vanished. Lurans released his hands, and Ossen collapsed powerlessly at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cough! Cough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and his Spirit seemed to deflate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the people watching from a distance didn’t know any of this. All they knew was that the Marquis had won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, a tsunami of cheers and applause erupted. If the Guards hadn’t been there to block them, the excited crowd would have rushed forward to clamor around the Marquis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ramsay, Ossen has surrendered. Please step aside,\" Ronin said, getting to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ramsay glanced at Jesus. Seeing the latter give a slight nod, he immediately made way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ronin gave Macken a look, and Macken immediately rushed onto the battlefield, unfurling a Magic Scroll as he went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lurans stopped Macken. \"That thing will have no effect on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Macken stopped, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Ronin, Marvin, Toru, and the others also gathered around. Lurans waved his hand. \"I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He whistled, and his Thunderbolt Wind Chasing Beast ran over. As it passed the prone form of Ossen on the ground, it snorted hot air from its nostrils, expressing its anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lurans swung himself onto his mount. \"I just need to go back and recuperate. Wiggin, Dianey, Bretton, arrange for someone to take care of Ossen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dianey led Bretton and the Knights from Black Python City to surround Ossen, who was lying in a pool of blood, now unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laurent lifted Ossen’s Armor and found that the wound was deep but hadn’t damaged any internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The injury isn’t life-threatening. We need to stop the bleeding.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jamie quickly took out the Healing Skill Scrolls he had prepared in advance. After using several Scrolls, the wound on Ossen’s abdomen slowly stopped bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for an injury to a Meteor Level body, a Healing Skill had limited effect. It couldn’t heal him instantly. They could only bandage it for now and wait for it to heal on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jesus stood to the side with his brows tightly furrowed. He hadn’t expected this outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ramsay, what was that black Energy just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he asked in a low voice. \"I don’t recall Lurans having a Dark Attribute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ramsay shook his head. \"It was a strange Energy. It doesn’t seem that simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the unconscious Ossen. ’For an injury like this, he shouldn’t be this deeply unconscious, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m afraid we’ll only be able to figure out what that black Energy was after he wakes up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1566,"2026-05-28T18:54:30.468Z","2026-06-01T04:28:44.603Z",1,"novelbin.me","a777f90899d6c6b3921f983d04d54a2d56a1bf66343bcde0f8a496b6b1674db8","lord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-chapter-185","lord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-chapter-183",402,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-stripped-of-my-inheritance-from-the-start-cover.jpg"]
