Author's Note: I've repaid my debt for the previous chapter. Above.
Ma Xiubad's power was rather peculiar. His swordsmanship was very, very ancient, but with extreme agility and tricky angles of attack, he continuously attacked Laing's weakest points. The Viper Sword turned into pieces of light and shadow, and it was impossible to identify where the blade was.
The Viper Sword was thin and long, and the blade was smeared with a dark green poison. When the Vengeance Goddess and the Viper Sword clashed, Laing could smell the stench of poison.
The Vengeance Goddess slashed down from the sky, splashing up countless dust. The space where the blade was pointed was torn apart. At this time, Laing's power was no longer the same as before. He, who had obtained Landuin's complete inheritance, had not only obtained a weapon, but also a complete battle memory.
"Ding!" Ma Xiubad did not underestimate Laing's power. He knew that he had to defeat Laing here. The Viper Sword accurately blocked above his head.
"Clang!" The Vengeance Goddess in Laing's hand was directly bounced off. His expression did not change, and he struck again. After the Chosen of Gods champion of the Lake Fairy had integrated with Landuin's battle memory, his swordsmanship had also changed. Compared to his previous fighting style that combined strength with gentleness and focused on rhythm, Laing's attacks were now smoother and more natural. His every movement was not superfluous. The blade that was originally bounced off the Vengeance Goddess drew a circular trajectory in the air and slashed down again.
The flurry of attacks from the left and right made Mathew Bard tired of dealing with them. Leon's footsteps were light and quick. He struck out six times in a row in the air, each strike faster than the last. Leon's wrist strength also began to grow. His entire body was now surrounded by silver flames and rolling air currents. There was also the sound of thunder flashing on his blade.
On the other hand, Ma Xiubard calmly dealt with it. At this moment, Mu Xilong's Viper did not panic under such a ferocious attack. On the contrary, he still had the time to easily block and dodge Laing's attacks. His swordsmanship was exquisite, and his starting moves were ancient and incomparably gorgeous. He accurately predicted Laing's attacks among the phantoms and neutralized them.
The fighting experience and skills of the thirteen black holy grail knights had been integrated into each of Ma Xiubad's parries and counterattacks. After blocking six times in a row, Laing knew that he couldn't defeat Ma Xiubad like this. He withdrew his sword and stepped back. The air around him gathered into a gust of wind in his right hand that was holding the sword.
"Splendor of the Moon!"
In a ferocious advance, Laing's Nemesis slashed diagonally upward from the bottom right, creating a circular arc that was as pure as the light of a lake. Matthew Bard could not react in time and could only forcefully block this move. Mu Xilong's Viper retreated with a muffled groan.
The second attack followed. The sword in the air slashed down from the middle. Laing angrily shouted, "Hah!"
Ma Xiubad did not panic at all. His figure dodged sideways like a ghost, almost perfectly dodging Laing's second attack. He sneered, and the Viper Sword in his hand directly pierced toward Laing's throat. The tip of the sword cut through the air, ready to drink Laing's blood.
Laing had no choice but to immediately withdraw his sword. His left hand immediately let go of the sword hilt. He grabbed Ma Xiubad's shoulder and forcefully pressed it down. The sound of bones cracking could be heard.
"Crack!" The Viper Sword's tip deviated due to the unstable center of gravity. His attack was seen through. The moment he lost his center of gravity, the black knight felt pain. He swung his fist and heavily smashed it on Laing's chest.
Laing's ribs were also broken.
"Ugh!" Both sides let out a muffled groan at almost the same time. Laing took a big step back. He gently adjusted his breathing and stared at Ma Xiubad's face. He raised the Nemesis in his hand and signaled for the duel to continue.
"Mu Xilong's Viper, is it?" The Chosen One champion of the Lake Fairy felt a pain in his chest. He realized that with Ma Xiubad's strength, this duel would not be easy.
"It's not over yet." Ma Xiubad's expression was definitely not good. Mu Xilong's Viper Sword was much more relaxed than Laing's. He raised the sword in his hand and chuckled. "I imagined your strength, but I didn't expect you to be this strong. But it doesn't matter, I will still defeat you and then kill you. I heard that Suria already has your child? It's a pity that he will soon lose his father! "
"I also think it's a pity." Laing also laughed. "Lich King Akerman spent so much effort to nurture you, but he will soon lose you as his godson. What a failed investment!"
"Very good! Then let's see who's the failed investment! "
The battle continued. The battle between Laing and Ma Xiubad was a battle of life and death. Both of them used their most powerful strength. It seemed that Laing was constantly attacking while Ma Xiubad was barely dodging. If he couldn't dodge in time, he would dodge Laing's attack with a very elegant footwork and then immediately use the Viper Sword to attack Laing's armor, wrist, armpit or throat.
Just like that, both sides were locked in a fierce battle.
Laing observed Ma Xiubad's footwork. He knew that Ma Xiubad must have inherited Lich King Akerman's swordsmanship and footwork. Some of the Brittany's books had records of the Nicohalla Desert.
Even if they were opponents, Laing could feel that Akerman had taken Ma Xiubad as his godson for a reason. Whether it was in terms of talent or physique, Ma Xiubad could be called the best in the world.
In fact, Laing could understand Ma Xiubad's actions.
This was a prince's revenge story led by the undead.
Many people thought that this crazy viper deserved to die. Even Laing thought so.
But from his point of view, was there a problem with Ma Xiubad's actions?
He was abandoned by Laun, wandered in the wilderness, and almost died. From Ma Xiubad's point of view, was his revenge wrong?
He was adopted by Akerman, and the Lich King did his best to raise him. He taught everything to this godson. Under such circumstances, Ma Xiubad joined the undead camp to repay his kindness. Was it wrong for him to repay his kindness?
He used to be an honorable ranger knight who enjoyed quite a bit of fame due to his outstanding virtues and martial arts skills. But when he discovered the true identity of the Goddess of the Lake and her plan, his faith was shattered. Was it wrong to liberate this country from its lies?
Simply from these three points, Ma Xiubad's actions were human nature. There was nothing to criticize. He didn't do anything wrong. Just like what he said, if Ma Xiubad was the protagonist, his story would be very exciting. A lowly abandoned child, the son of a noble duke, and the godson of the Lich King. He had three identities at the same time. In order to take revenge, repay his kindness, and reveal the true identity of the Lake Fairy, he began his journey of revenge. It was bound to be a very exciting story. With the rotten aristocratic system and dark serf system of the Knight King, he would also be a very good villain.
This story could start a new book. Laing had already thought of the name. It would be called "Kingdom Bloodline."
Unfortunately, he met Laing. As the gray knight's gene prototype, the Lake Fairy's chosen champion, and the defender of the existing order, Laing could not allow Ma Xiubad to subvert this country. He could not allow him to complete his revenge. The living and the dead could not coexist after all. They were people of two different camps.
From Ma Xiubad's point of view, his revenge was not a problem. From Laing's point of view, the poisonous snake in front of him was definitely going to die!
Just in front of Ma Xiubad's terrifying power, Laing's fighting spirit was also rising. His long black hair flashed with a golden light. Although his armor was stained with blood, it still shone with a bright luster. He rushed straight to Mu Xilong's poisonous snake. He shouted a challenge that sounded like a strange melody. He waved his sword and urged a fierce arc to slash at Ma Xiubad's body.
With the poisonous snake sword in hand, Ma Xiubad was also fighting spirit. He cursed Laing loudly. In the face-to-face confrontation, Ma Xiubad did not hesitate at all. He also rushed forward.
Just in the middle of the two's battle, the two met in midair. Two swords crossed, sparks flew, and thunder filled the sky. In the battle between the champions, the sound of iron clashing could be heard endlessly.
Laing began to gather all his psionic power. Now, the silver psionic flame and psionic storm were spinning around him. The Lake Fairy's chosen champion jumped into the air.
The Viper Sword rose, and Mathew Bad also leaped up. His body emitted an endless aura of death. Within the turbid black smoke, he became more and more powerful. The Viper Sword was surrounded by a red bloody aura. The two of them began to entangle in midair and fell down at the same time. Everyone only saw the two of them like a pair of fiery birds pecking at each other. They kept attacking and retracting their swords as they fell into the round pit.
In the smoke and dust, there was a loud bang. The two figures exploded and landed on both sides of the ground. They quickly retreated to reduce the powerful impact.
Ma Xiubad roared in anger and frustration. He had already raised his strength to the limit, but he still felt that he was not a match for Laing. He did not know what inheritance Laing had received from Landuin, but he had a deep understanding of the power of this inheritance. Every strike of the poisonous snake sword was enough to take the life of a legendary knight in an instant, but it could only be suppressed by Laing. The Vengeance Goddess waved her aura that seemed to split the sky and earth. Mu Xilong's poisonous snake could feel that the rhythm of the battle was being led by the Vengeance Goddess.
The almost wild slashing and hammering left him wide open. After dozens of consecutive exchanges, Ma Xiubad's hands were paralyzed by Laing's psionic storm. His face was burned by psionic flames. After the poisonous snake sword was bounced away by the Vengeance Goddess, Mu Xilong's poisonous snake retreated in an attempt to protect himself.
But Laing would not let go of such a good opportunity. The psionic energy in the eyes of the Chosen One Champion of the Lake Fairy gathered into a whirlpool as bright as the Milky Way. His figure exploded into thousands of flashing fragments.
In the next second, these fragments gathered in front of Ma Xiubad. Laing held the sword high above his head with both hands and steadily aimed at Ma Xiubad's chest. With a clear roar, he stabbed the sword down.
The Vengeance Goddess pierced through the black cursed armor on the poisonous snake's body. The blade burned with silver flames and pierced through Ma Xiubad's body. Vigorous psionic lightning rampaged through his body, destroying his internal organs.
Ma Xiubad's scream was deafening. The pain of the Vengeance Goddess piercing into his body drove him crazy. Mu Xilong's poisonous snake's handsome face wrinkled deeply. In his madness, he immediately raised the poisonous snake sword in his hand, wanting to stab Laing's chest at the same time!
This madman!
Laing could only immediately pull out his sword and retreat. Even so, his shoulder was pierced twice by the poisonous snake sword.
He had no time to check his wounds. Laing could feel that he was poisoned. His psionic energy was protecting his body. The Chosen One Champion of the Lake Fairy was forced to kneel on one knee and did not dare to move. Laing immediately mobilized his psionic energy to expel the poison. Otherwise, the poison would spread throughout his body through his blood.
The ground undulated like water ripples. Gust after gust of wind blew in his face. Laing raised his head with difficulty.
Matthew Bad covered his chest with his hand, but the wound caused by the Goddess of Vengeance was still bleeding profusely. Mu Xilong's viper struggled, and a panicked expression appeared on his face. His long and painful scream seemed to contain something else.
His body was collapsing. His heart had been pierced. As a human, Ma Xiubad knew that if this continued, his revenge would end here.
"No! Everything for me can't end here! " Ma Xiubad finally made up his mind in his madness. He took out a tube of red medicine that flashed with a strange black gas from his body, opened the cork, and drank it directly.
"This is?!" Laing's eyes widened.
A thick blood-red fog enveloped Ma Xiubad. His face gradually turned pale. His eyes turned from blue to blood-red. His blond hair turned white.
His strength became stronger. The wound on his chest gradually healed. Ma Xiubad gasped for air. He endured the great pain and slowly stood up.
"Revenge is everything for me." Ma Xiubad's voice became dry. He raised his head and stared at Laing. "So I can't fail! I can't fail! "
"For this, I am willing to give up being human!"
