CLANG!
Duke Lancelot's sword met the enemy swordsman's blade head-on. The two stood face to face while their swords ground against each other, throwing bright sparks in every direction. Their auras collided continuously, and neither side gave even half a step.
The swordsman grinned coldly and tightened his grip around the hilt.
"You've gotten old, Duke. Your strength isn't what it used to be."
Duke Lancelot calmly pushed his sword forward without changing his expression.
"But I haven't forgotten how to kill."
BOOM!
A violent burst of sword intent erupted from his body. The powerful force pushed the swordsman several steps backward before he finally regained his balance. His boots left deep marks across the empty sky while his expression became much more serious.
At that exact moment, the mage completed another spell.
He slowly raised his staff high into the sky while dozens of enormous magic circles appeared one after another behind him. The circles spun rapidly while endless mana poured into them, and the surrounding sky gradually turned crimson.
"Crimson Meteor Rain."
The magic circles flashed brilliantly.
The next moment, hundreds of burning meteors emerged from the formation and shot toward Duke Lancelot. Each one was several meters wide and burned with terrifying flames while the sky itself seemed to catch fire.
Duke Lancelot slowly lifted his head and looked at the descending meteors.
His expression remained calm.
Without showing the slightest panic, he slowly swung his sword.
SWISH!
A brilliant silver sword wave shot upward.
BOOOOOOM!
The first meteor split cleanly into two.
The sword wave continued climbing through the sky and cut apart several more meteors before finally disappearing. However, far too many remained.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The remaining meteors crashed down around Duke Lancelot one after another. Violent explosions erupted across the sky while flames swallowed everything around him. Thick smoke spread everywhere until his figure completely disappeared.
The mage narrowed his eyes while looking into the sea of fire.
"I got him."
The swordsman's expression suddenly changed.
"No."
"Move!"
Before the mage could even react...
SWISH!
A silver flash burst out from inside the smoke.
Duke Lancelot instantly appeared before the mage. Without saying a single word, his sword descended mercilessly.
The mage's face immediately changed.
He hurriedly raised several magic barriers.
Three barriers appeared before him in an instant.
CLANG!
The first barrier shattered immediately.
CLANG!
The second barrier exploded into countless fragments.
CRACK!
The third barrier barely lasted a moment before cracks spread across its surface and it also shattered apart.
Duke Lancelot's sword stopped only inches away from the mage's neck because the swordsman had already arrived.
CLAAANG!
His blade intercepted Duke Lancelot's attack just in time.The violent collision shook the heavens once again while another terrifying shockwave spread across the battlefield.
The swordsman twisted his wrist and forced Duke Lancelot backward while shouting,
"Get back!"
The mage immediately retreated several hundred meters away.
Cold sweat slowly rolled down his forehead.
"That was close."
He did not waste another second.
He immediately waved to his staff again.
"Blood Lightning."
Dark red clouds instantly gathered overhead.
The next moment, countless crimson bolts of lightning crashed toward Duke Lancelot.
BOOOOOOM!
The entire sky became a sea of blood-red lightning.
Duke Lancelot calmly stepped forward.His sword danced through the storm with smooth and precise movements.
SWISH!
SWISH!
SWISH!
Every swing split apart several lightning bolts before they could even reach him. The remaining attacks exploded around him continuously, yet none of them managed to slow his advance.
The swordsman seized the opportunity.
SWISH!
His figure disappeared.
A heartbeat later, he appeared directly behind Duke Lancelot.
His sword carried enough force to split apart a mountain.
"Die!"
CLAAANG!
Duke Lancelot instantly turned around and blocked the strike.
The tremendous impact forced both men backward.
Neither side gained the advantage.
At the same time, the mage completed another spell.
Long chains made entirely of crimson mana burst out from the surrounding magic circles and rushed toward Duke Lancelot from every direction.
The chains wrapped tightly around his arms, his legs, and even his sword.
The mage smiled coldly.
"Got you."
The swordsman immediately rushed forward again.
His sword glowed with terrifying power while all of his aura gathered into a single attack.
"Heaven Breaking Slash!"
An enormous sword wave stretched across the sky before rushing straight toward Duke Lancelot.
The old Duke slowly closed his eyes.
Then...
His aura suddenly changed.
A calm but overwhelming sword intent quietly spread from his body.
CRACK!
The crimson chains shattered apart one after another as though they had never existed.
The mage's pupils instantly shrank.
"What?"
Duke Lancelot slowly opened his eyes.
He firmly held his sword with both hands.
"Moon Severing Sword."
For a brief moment...
The world seemed to become completely silent.
Then...
He swung.
SWOOOOOSH!
A gigantic silver crescent tore across the heavens.
It collided head-on with the Heaven Breaking Slash.
BOOOOOOOOOOM!
The collision shook heaven and earth.
The sky split apart while countless clouds disappeared for dozens of kilometers. The ground below trembled violently, and even the giant barrier protecting Blank City rippled continuously under the terrifying shockwave.
The swordsman was blasted backward while blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The mage was also forced back several hundred meters before finally stabilizing himself.
Both of them stared at Duke Lancelot with disbelief.
The old Duke slowly lowered his sword.
His breathing had become heavier than before, yet his eyes remained as calm as ever.
He slowly pointed his blade toward the two Transcendent experts and spoke in a steady voice.
"If the two of you wish to pass, then you'll have to step over my corpse first."
The expressions of the two Transcendent experts immediately hardened after hearing Duke Lancelot's words. The swordsman slowly tightened his grip around his sword while the mage firmly held his staff. The atmosphere instantly became much heavier as neither side showed any intention of backing down.
The swordsman took a slow step forward and spoke in a cold voice, "Duke Lancelot, you are crossing the line, and you should know very well what the consequences of your actions will be. If you continue standing against His Majesty, there will be no place left for you in the Empire."
