Gallo's tactic was likely to use the barrier of [Sword Power] to exchange blows with Luo Xiu, directly inflicting serious injuries on Luo Xiu.
However, now that Luo Xiu has broken through the [Sword Power], Gallo's sword only left an insignificant wound on Luo Xiu. Therefore, in comparison, Gallo lost the first clash, losing the enhancement of the [Sword Power] to his skills.
But she was still very nervous at that moment, as if the duel from a few years ago was still vivid in her mind.
Gallo is definitely not as simple as he appears. Back then, Memphis was at the height of his power as the first champion of this cycle, but Gallo beheaded him in less than ten minutes. Nobody knows what exactly happened.
All I remember is that Gallo suddenly sprang into action and cleaved Memphis in two with a single sword strike.
Memphis's head rolled off the edge of the dueling ring, and he never closed his eyes again.
Bojelica's thoughts raced, while the match on the dueling platform was constantly changing.
After the first strike, Luo Xiu advanced instead of retreating, raising his right fist and throwing another heavy punch.
Gallo, however, remained calm, his body erupting with sharp currents that formed a terrifying, roaring storm. A faint white light appeared on his body, and when he raised his hand, the sword in his hand seemed to produce thousands of sword shadows.
Swordsman Tier 4 Skill: [Sword Saint - Mastery]
Sword skills are enhanced in power, and the body and speed are strengthened.
Swordsman Tier 4 Skill: [Phantom Sword - Moon Slash]
Faced with Luo Xiu's punch, Gallo unleashed thousands of sword shadows, as if forming a rain of swords falling from the sky, with endless sword light bursting forth, aiming to annihilate Luo Xiu directly.
Luo Xiu's fist slammed into the rain of swords, creating a series of cracking sounds as it shattered all the sword shadows in front of him.
Sword light flashed across his body, spraying blood everywhere, but his speed did not decrease in the slightest, and his expression remained unchanged. Like a ferocious beast suddenly advancing in a rain of swords, his fist landed directly on Gallo's chest.
puff!
Blood spurted from Gallo's mouth, and surprisingly, it made a sound like a sword piercing the air.
But in any case, he was injured after all, and this scene, witnessed by the audience, drew gasps of surprise.
Who won the second strike? This was the only thought in everyone's mind at that moment.
Judging from his injuries, Luo Xiu was covered in wounds. His cloak had become a pile of tattered cloth, and his muscular body beneath it was covered in blood, with wounds all over his body from the sword's edge.
On the other side, Gallo seemed to be unharmed, only spitting out a mouthful of blood and looking a little pale, but he appeared to be alright.
"Lord Gallo is still too strong. I estimate that he will be able to kill the opponent completely with the next strike."
Someone spoke up, and what they said was hard for those around them to refute, because it certainly seemed to be true.
The first strike injured Luo Xiu, but left Galo unharmed.
The second blow left Luo Xiu covered in wounds and bleeding profusely, while Gallo only coughed up a mouthful of blood.
What the third blow will be like seems to have already been decided.
Dorian, draped in a cloak, looked rather pale; he didn't want Luo Xiu to lose.
Because he revealed the biggest flaw in the mission arranged by Earl Shek, and was the first to confess and reveal the Earl's identity, if Luo Xiu dies, even if he returns to the Earl's service, his fate is hard to predict.
"Do you wish for that gentleman to lose?"
A voice rang in his ear, startling him so much that he swayed. He turned his head and saw that it was Lundelor.
"Lord Lundrol..."
He lowered his voice and spoke:
"Of course I don't want that gentleman to lose, but the situation is very unfavorable right now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dorian saw Lundel look at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.
"What, what's wrong?"
Dorian swallowed hard, feeling a little uneasy under Lundrol's gaze.
"Read and learn more in your spare time, instead of always burying your head in your studies."
Lundel said something, then stopped looking at the puzzled Dorian and looked up at Luo Xiu's face on the screen in the air:
"The ship is about to set sail."
On the duel stage.
After the two strikes, Luo Xiu ceased his attack and instead looked at the resolute-looking Gallo opposite him, smiling as he spoke:
"Do you have any other methods, or have you already stopped here?"
Gallo remained silent, his lips tightly pressed together. His expression was as firm and indifferent as it had been at the beginning, as if he disdained to speak with Luo Xiu.
Someone in the audience shouted:
"Are you still going to waste your breath with words? Attack now!!"
"That's right! You're starting to talk a lot now. Didn't you see that Lord Gallo doesn't want to talk to you?"
"At first, they said Lord Gallo talked too much, but now that he's been beaten like this, he's the one yelling!"
The crowd below shouted loudly, but Luo Xiu on stage seemed not to hear them and continued to smile.
Do you want to have some time to rest?
Gallo raised his sword, changing from a one-handed grip to a two-handed one, and finally spoke:
"The last sword."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiu burst into laughter:
"Then come!"
call--
call--
call--
Black smoke rose from the dueling platform, covering the entire platform, and the figures of Luo Xiu and Jia Luo completely disappeared from the screen.
The crowd below the stage were puzzled and indignant, wondering where the fog had come from, as they couldn't see anything now.
But the next second, the view on the screen returned to normal because the sword light on Gallo's body burst forth, blowing away the black mist.
The crowd cheered and applauded Gallo's actions, but some people noticed something amiss and pointed in surprise to the corner of the screen.
Luo Xiu had somehow appeared behind and to the side of Gallo, about to throw a punch.
"Lord Gallo! Behind us!"
One of Gallo's suitors spoke up to remind him, but the reminder was not even as fast as Gallo's own reaction, as Gallo suddenly turned around.
The sword in his hand shone brightly, its dazzling brilliance radiating outwards. The original silver longsword underwent a transformation, its blade lengthening and its body widening, and the phantom of a giant sword appeared in the air.
It slashed down heavily towards Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu smiled, casting [Weakness Spell] and [Basic Healing Spell] simultaneously. The two power-enhancing items on Elijah continued to work their magic, allocating 43 of his 63 points to Strength, bringing his Strength to 503. He unleashed a full-force punch!
boom! !
A dazzling light erupted on the dueling platform, and all the screens around the platform went blank. The last thing everyone saw was Luo Xiu's fist colliding with the giant sword phantom; nothing else could be seen.
How's it going?
Everyone was itching to rush onto the stage to see the final result.
As the light gradually faded, everyone finally saw the result.
"Damn it... how is this possible..."
Someone murmured.
But no one responded; everyone in the audience was so shocked by what was happening on stage that they were speechless.
To everyone's surprise, Luo Xiu was standing unharmed on the dueling platform, a smile on his face. At his feet, Gallo lay on the ground like a dead dog, blood gushing from his mouth uncontrollably.
"How could this be?"
Someone in the audience murmured, disbelief evident in their voice.
On the duel stage.
Gallo looked at Luo Xiu standing beside him and finally couldn't hold back any longer, his face showing fear.
In fact, he sensed something was wrong right after the very first strike.
Just as Bojelica had guessed, his original intention was to abandon the offensive of [Sword Power] and gain an absolute advantage in the first exchange of wounds.
His seemingly casual sword strike actually employed the third-tier skill [Sword Instant], the third-tier skill [Heavy Slash], the second-tier skill [Sword Aura], and the first-tier skill [Sword Technique].
The intention was to severely injure Luo Xiu with a single blow.
But unexpectedly, his deadly sword strike only left a scar on Luo Xiu's body.
Perhaps the reflection on the screen wasn't clear enough, but he could see it clearly up close; the scar wasn't even two centimeters deep.
He then unleashed two of his fourth-tier skills with his second attack, yet he still failed to inflict fatal damage on Luo Xiu.
The guy in front of me is like a humanoid monster, his physique is terrifying.
Luo Xiu's punch, however, caused his chest to cave in.
He didn't want to talk at the time, in fact he was trying to hold back the blood in his mouth from gushing out.
And just now, his third strike...
He recalled the power that Jian Ying had just faced and couldn't help but tremble with fear. Was that really the power that a fourth-tier cultivator could possess?
Luo Xiu looked at the terrified Gallo and smiled as he spoke:
"Lord Gallo, you've broken the rules! You just said you'd only swing three times, but it seems to me that you swung your sword twice on your last swing!"
Luo Xiu's words caused a huge stir.
The crowd below the stage completely lost their composure. What had they just heard? Gallo swung his sword twice at the very end?!
On the roof, Rose hugged her knees and spoke softly:
"So that's how it is. So that's how Memphis died."
Looking at the girl beside him who always had a bright smile, Milair suddenly sensed a deep sadness flowing through her.
She didn't offer any words of comfort.
Perhaps in this city called Kanriel, everyone is called a madman by outsiders, but even madmen have their own stories.
