Chapter 53: Enemy’s Response
“Haha, great! Daddy has been waiting for you!”
Fei was expecting Landes to show up. In the dark, an assassin was dangerous, but once the assassin exposed himself, all his hidden danger would be gone. That was why Fei was relieved, rather than surprised. He laughed as he used his long prepared 【Leap】. He stomped his feet and he flew up off the dust. He held his axe tightly and concentrated his full strength into this one strike.
“Rip –“
This strike produced an almost inaudible noise, as if someone was tearing up a thin piece of paper.
Compared to the three star warrior Landes’ [Explosive Sun Strike], which was so fancy that its energy almost covered up the sky, Fei’s strike was plain and looked like a lumberjack was hacking at a tree.
But to everyone’s surprise, Landes’ 4 to 5 yard (m) long energy slash which seemed to be able to destroy the sky was chopped in half by Fei’s axe. The two waves of energy flew past Fei and disappeared after a small explosion.
At the same time, very quickly-
“Tink, tink tink, tink, tink!”
Numerous sparks appeared in mid-air. The two were fighting in mid-air at a speed that human eyes couldn’t even follow. The sound of metal colliding and sparks from the collisions were suddenly the center of the battle. Soon, both of them roared and backed off……
“Tap, tap, tap!”
Both of them were pushed a couple steps back and breathed heavily as they landed.
In the series of exchanges, both of them had used their most powerful skills. Landes relied on his sophisticated sword techniques. Like a phantom, he stabbed at Fei twenty eight times in a single breath. Because the axe was very heavy, Fei only was able to strike six times; he tried really hard to block the attacks with his huge axe most of the time……
Both of them didn’t leave any wounds on the other’s body as they had wish. Although Landes kept his calm demeanor, he was inwardly shocked.
He started to rush towards Fei and the strongmen right after he received the command from the silver masked knight, but due to the large number of retreating soldiers and the fast pushing speed of Fei and his followers, he wasn’t able to arrive on time until the Tower Shield-Dragon Lance formation was destroyed. The spearmen and swordsmen formations were dismantled and the siege ladders and trebuchets were almost all gone.
When he finally arrived at the center of the battlefield, he instantly identified the unstoppable opponent who was covered in blood and leading the massacre. It was the ‘beast’ who injured him on Chambord’s defensive wall yesterday. The bloodiness and wild nature of the ‘beast’ had left a scar in his mind, and he was still a little bit scared of the ‘beast’ even after a full day. He was hesitating and didn’t attack right after he arrived.
Landes gave up his pride as a three star warrior and hid in the chaotic sea of soldiers and attempted a sneak attack.
He was trying to finish off his nightmare off with his [Explosive Sun Strike], but who knew that the ‘beast’ seemed to be ready and didn’t panic under the sneak attack. The beast jumped up and chopped the air in half with his physical strength and cracked his proud technique [Explosive Sun Strike].
