Chapter 114: Humiliation Brought Upon Oneself

  These few words were spoken with extreme arrogance, and the magician had already shown a bit of the demeanor of a high-ranking mud leg. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately withdrew his head and hid behind Xia Ya's back.

  Facing the black armored warrior, everyone was originally still furious, but as soon as Duoduo finished speaking, everyone's complexion changed!

  What's going on?!!

  For every single person in the Byzantine Empire, perhaps someone may not know what the emperor's name is, but... this name of Hestia, I'm afraid even a deaf person would know it!!

  Even Hastings is under this guy's command, could it be that the arrogant and self-satisfied guy sitting there with an air of superiority, is actually the fierce general who defeated Hastings on the battlefield in recent rumors?

  The black-armored warrior Afreca and others suddenly weakened, for a moment, everyone changed color, the black-armored warrior's face turned pale, the sword in his hand didn't know whether to hold it horizontally or vertically, or to put it away gloomily.

  What a joke! Even Hastings can be injured, what's the point of having this little skill?!

  It fell into Xia Ya's ears, and Tu Bao's face suddenly became like a fire.

  Although he's a bit shameless (er, Rabbit Lulu, poor bug. Oakes, Tian Gong, Duoduo Luo, and the collectively resentful Bonfret who died unjustly...), after all, he still has some self-respect.

  Especially when Duo Luo said that Heistin was seriously injured and fled in disarray, Xia Ya's face suddenly turned red like a monkey.

  Uh, being seriously injured is correct, fleeing in disarray is also correct... Correct, that seems to be myself after all...

  He was very clear about his own abilities, and if he really encountered Hastings, it would be himself who would flee in defeat.

  And... uh, judging from Hestia's proud black horse's speed, it's uncertain whether we can escape or not.

  Kexia's expression, however, was perceived differently by the other party: The legendary figure who had defeated Hastings suddenly turned bright red and exuded an aura of majesty!

  As for those evasive eyes... electrifying gaze!

  The face of the black-armored warrior Afrecaht stiffened for a moment, he let out a long sigh, his face hesitated for a moment, but still showed a hint of hardness, gritted his teeth and said: "So you are the one who defeated Hestin, the war god Odin, in the legend... Ah, I've heard of your name, Mr. Shaya! Although I admire your bravery, I am also a warrior, and I have the dignity of a warrior!"

  Since the challenge has already been issued, I won't take it back! Otherwise, neither I nor my warriors will need to show our faces in public again!"

  Although he has written some small shame (evil, rabbit, pitiful insect, ox, heavenly attack, multiple Taro, and the collective resentment of the wrongly killed Bonaparte...), after all, there is still a sense of self-respect.

  Especially when Duo Duo said that Heistin was seriously injured and fled in a fluster, Xia Ya's face suddenly turned red like a monkey.

  It's okay to be seriously injured, it's also okay to flee in a panic... but somehow that seems like something I would do.

  He was very clear about his own abilities, and if he really encountered Hastings, fleeing in a panic would be absolutely his own doing. Moreover, with Hastings' majestic black horse's speed, it's likely that he might not even be able to escape.

  The look of excitement on Xia Ya's face, when it fell into the eyes of his opponent, was different. Suddenly, this legendary figure who had defeated Hastings was flushed with red light, and his expression was...

  As for those evasive eyes... gaze as swift as lightning!

  The face of Kurokawa no Afureika turned pale for a moment, and he let out a long sigh, his face still...

  Hesitated for a moment, finally still revealed a hint of firmness, gritted his teeth and said: "So"

  You are the legendary general who defeated Odin's Hestin... Ah, I've heard that

  In your name, Mr. Xia Ya! Although I admire your brave deeds, but I am also a

  A warrior has a warrior's pride! Since the challenge was already issued earlier, I won't

  Take it back! Otherwise, I and my warriors will never show up again!"

  Afreca slowly drew his sword and gritted his teeth: "Although I asked myself if I wasn't your opponent"

  "But I also want to learn from you with my life on the line! Please teach me your divine skills!"

  As he spoke, the black-armored warrior's face was resolute, as if he were about to be executed.

  Xia Ya opened her mouth, but before she could speak, a cold laugh echoed in her mind, the sound of "hiss"

  Filled with disdain, it's just Dora's way out.

  Afureka slowly swung his sword and gritted his teeth, saying: "Although I'm not your opponent, I'll fight to the death to learn from your divine skills! Please teach me!"

  As he spoke, the black-armored warrior's face was resolute, as if he were about to be executed.

  Xia Ya opened her mouth, but before she could speak, a cold laugh echoed in her mind, filled with disdain, and it was none other than Dora's.

  "This mother dragon was full of sarcastic tone: 'Shameless to the extreme! If Hastings heard this, he would really laugh his teeth off. Hmph, this human warrior's strength is not bad, although his aura is far from reaching the top, but that one-handed swordsmanship is indeed very sharp and fierce. You really want to fight him, if it's not a life-and-death battle but just a comparison of skills, even if you win, you'll still lose face greatly.'"

  Xia Ya was ridiculed by Dora, but he had no words to retort. In his heart, he knew that the mother dragon's words were not wrong - if it weren't for his desperate efforts, with his own crimson killing intent, although he could defeat this black-armored warrior Afureikato, the opponent's fighting spirit could also pierce through his dragon blood defense, and to win completely was absolutely impossible, and he would inevitably get hurt. Moreover, looking at his movements, his swordsmanship was swift and fierce, taking a path of swift and merciless killing, unlike the enemies he had encountered in the army who were all about grand and powerful strikes, this kind of enemy he had never seen before, even if he unleashed his crimson killing intent, whether or not he could hit the opponent was still an unknown number. With just one careless move, losing was a possibility.

  After all, the injury to Hastings was a close-range sneak attack, and there was Bonaparte as a target to attract Hastings' attention, plus his strongest killing move "Dragon Strike", which succeeded in one hit.

  As soon as this Alfred Cart saw the determined look on his face, Tu Bao's mind turned and he suddenly came up with a bad idea.

  He slowly stood up, then turned around the table step by step. As he walked over, he had already pulled out the fire fork from the scabbard at his waist.

  Xia Ya's movements were slow, and he showed no intention of hiding his intentions. That Avreca suddenly made preparations, but still stood still on the spot, only staring at Xia Ya with dead eyes.

  "You know, I'm a man of the military." Xia Ya's face was serious, his originally honest and kind face, especially that harmless smile, made him even more deceitful. He slowly raised the fire fork in his hand, intentionally putting on a calm expression, but Frohreich still didn't move, he also trusted that the Empire's new hero wouldn't be the type to suddenly launch a sneak attack.

  Xia Ya didn't expect to launch a sneak attack, his expression was solemn, and he suddenly raised his hand to pluck the fire fork with force. With a "hong" sound, the fire fork instantly emitted a sound like a dragon's roar!

  As a soldier, I must naturally follow military discipline and cannot casually fight with others, let alone randomly harm people. Xia Ya intentionally sighed, "So, you want to try me out? This request is probably something I won't be able to satisfy... Ah, as long as you can withstand one spear thrust from me, then even if you win, it's fine! Just watch closely!"

  Having said that, Xia Ya didn't wait for the other party to speak, took a deep breath. In an instant, a bloody glow flashed in his eyes, and the fire fork in his hand slashed down diagonally!

  He wore a sleeve, his movements were not particularly swift, and even seemed to be intentionally slow, the fire fork fell slowly.

  He said beforehand, "Block me once and you win."

  Moreover, the fire fork fell down, with a faint light on top that seemed to have no momentum at all. The movement looked slow and sluggish, as if it didn't have much power either, really not something to be feared.

  Alfredo was indeed deceived!

  He almost instinctively raised his sword to block it, and his reaction was quite fast. On the edge of the sword, a burst of aura light exploded out in an instant...

  If he didn't block, but instead dodged and counterattacked with his sharp and ruthless swordsmanship, then even if he couldn't really defeat Xia Ya, he would still have a 30% chance of winning. But to clash head-on like this was truly falling into Xia Ya's trap!

  With a snort, the sword in Afreca's hand almost instantly broke into two pieces. The sharp blade of the fine steel sword easily snapped off as the fire fork came down, its crimson killing intent and razor-sharp edge, combined with Xia Ya's originally powerful strength, suddenly numbing Afreca's arm. He stumbled backward several steps before regaining his footing, then looked at the broken sword in his hand and at Xia Ya standing proudly in front of him, who had already put away the fire fork and was gazing at him with a hint of a smile...

  Alfred's face turned pale in an instant, he had practiced martial arts for many years, but he never thought that in front of others, he couldn't even withstand a single blow! At this moment, his mind was shocked, and he completely forgot that he hadn't dodged earlier, and originally, he wasn't strong in terms of physical strength and other factors. He was only filled with the impact of being defeated by the opponent's single strike.

  "I... I lost!" Reading is all about experience.

  At this moment, Afureika's heart was filled with despair. He too was a man of insight, and the weapon in his opponent's hand, no matter how sharp it was, could not have easily broken his sword so cleanly, with such a sharp and neat cut. It was clearly not just the weapon, but a kind of mysterious power! Just now, when that blow came, he had distinctly felt a strong and sharp power suddenly descend, unstoppable, and easily break through his own fighting spirit!

  It's simply impossible to stop it!

  "I, I've brought shame upon myself, there's nothing to say!" Alfreca threw his sword away with force, and in an instant, his heart was filled with confusion. All his grand ambitions had vanished into thin air! He had originally formed this warrior team, and three years ago, they had already made a name for themselves at the tournament in Australia. After returning and practicing bitterly for three years, he had hoped to achieve even greater success this time around, but unexpectedly, when faced with a true master, he was defeated so utterly!

  He turned around and was about to leave, not even bothering to say a word... He had even planned to go home immediately, and didn't need to go to Osgiliath anymore, so as not to spread the news and lose face completely.

  But he had just walked out of two steps when he heard Xia Ya shouting "Wait a minute!" behind him.

  "Ah, Freyka turned around, clenched his fists and said in a low voice: "I'm not as skilled as others, I admit defeat. But what do you want to do? Do you want to kill me completely?" He paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled wryly: "Ah! I was too muddled! Having lost, how could I not leave something behind!"

  He turned around and glared at Xia Ya, shouting: "I'll leave one right hand for you, I won't use a sword again in this life! Are you satisfied?"

  As soon as he spoke, many of his companions on the side suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and some even cheered, looking like they were about to draw their swords and rush forward together!

  "Shut up! All of you, shut your mouths!!" Xia Ya suddenly bellowed, his eyes wide with anger. "You're driving me crazy! Are you out of your mind? What do I need one hand for? To roast and eat?"

  "So you..."

  Xia Ya smiled and said slowly, "I saw you fighting with that person earlier, your sword skills are indeed good, so I called out to compliment you. However, to be honest, there are also many flaws in your sword skills. You seem like a straightforward and manly person, if you're willing, I can give you some pointers."

  With a sincere and hopeful smile on his face, Dora suddenly sneered in her mind: "Shameless! Shameless! Clearly wanting to deceive the scholar's swordsmanship, yet daring to claim that he wants to guide him!"
