Chapter 194 Bloody Duel (Two chapters in one)

Although the beautiful woman didn't know where the confidence of her "little man" came from, she looked at Ryan with her beautiful eyes, nodded, and said:

"Well, then I will immediately mobilize the entire family's liquid funds to bet."

"Also, bet the more than 3,000 gold I left with you." Ryan interjected.

Originally, Ryan wanted to explain to the beautiful woman, but considering his situation, it seemed difficult to explain it clearly in a few words.

After a little thought, Ryan did not explain too much, but took a pair of ice iron shoulder guards, placed them on the thick logs, and repeated it according to the situation he had just tested.

After all, facts speak louder than words.

Demonstrating one's own strength is the best reassurance to the beautiful woman.

"Bang!"

After a dull sound!

When Ryan opened the broken ice iron shoulder guard, the logs underneath were in a state of "crushed into powder", which immediately made the beautiful woman's big watery eyes widen, and her cherry mouth opened wide, as if a whole apple could be stuffed in it.

"Dear, have you also become a great knight?" The beautiful woman couldn't help but ask.

Although she was not familiar with martial arts, she still had good eyesight.

She had never seen such a level of attack power in the family knights, or even in the deceased Baron Crowley. This level of attack power was simply too exaggerated.

She really couldn't think of any other reason besides Ryan's promotion to a great knight that could allow Ryan's attack power to reach this level!

"Not yet, but in terms of strength, I am not inferior to ordinary great knights." Ryan smiled and shook his head and said.

Ryan's words immediately swept away the beautiful woman's worries!

If before, the beautiful woman was a little worried that Ryan was too arrogant and didn't take Baron Norman seriously, but after seeing this scene, the beautiful woman knew that her "little man" really didn't need to pay too much attention to Baron Norman's movements!

The last day.

In Ryan's new mansion.

Since Ryan has achieved his expected goals, he naturally won't choose to stay in the blacksmith shop.

Another thing is that although Ryan has mastered the giant bear swordsmanship and Tokkar hammer, he still wants to fully understand the power, and the blacksmith shop is naturally not suitable.

So, today, he stayed in the indoor training ground of his new mansion all day.

This is also one of the benefits of being promoted to baron. He has an indoor training ground of hundreds of square meters in his own home. Half a year ago, Ryan could only look at Claire's indoor training ground with envy.

But unexpectedly, so soon, he now has his own one.

Ryan was holding a black pig-head hammer and hitting a dummy wearing two layers of plate armor.

As for why it is two layers of plate armor, it is naturally because the damage of multiple shocks is too great. If the dummy is not given two layers of plate armor, it will be smashed into pieces with one hammer.

After a period of testing, Ryan basically determined that he could deal triple shock damage if he used all his strength.

As for using secret skills,

Ryan focused his attention on the Knight (Extraordinary) panel and looked at the two "strong man holding a hammer" icons above the "Tokkar Hammer Technique".

The patterns in these two icons are both a strong man holding a hammer, but the movements are different.

One twisted his body and swung a two-handed hammer from bottom to top, rushing straight up, while the other held a two-handed hammer high and slammed it hard on the ground from top to bottom, and the ground showed a fan-shaped shattered area, which was extremely fierce!

It was the two secrets of Tokkar Hammer Technique, "Rising Dragon Hammer" and "Earth-Splitting Hammer".

Ryan stared at the small words on the lower right of the icon:

Rising Dragon Hammer lv3 (Secret Technique) Effect: Use a special way of exerting force, swing the heavy hammer from bottom to top, and hit a blow with a rotating and multiple shocking force.

Earth-Splitting Hammer lv3 (Secret Technique) Effect: Use a special way of exerting force, swing the heavy hammer from top to bottom, hit the ground, and hit a strong and fierce blow with multiple shocking force.

These two hammer secrets were successfully upgraded to lv3. At the same time, the accompanying force also changed, from shock to multiple shocks, and the power increased greatly.

After Ryan's actual test just now, he found that when he used these two hammer secrets in the "Triple State", he could deal quadruple damage!

Rising Dragon Hammer is a single spin plus triple shock force, while Earth-Splitting Hammer is the most powerful, and it hits quadruple shock force!

For tomorrow's bloody duel, Ryan reviewed the strength of the "Beast Knight" Giovanni after his transformation. His super physical fitness led to a much higher movement speed and shooting speed than ordinary knights.

Therefore, Ryan planned to follow the idea at that time, that is, to abandon the heavy knight's plate armor, and only hold one weapon to participate in the bloody duel!

In this way, Ryan can basically keep up with the opponent's speed after losing 200 pounds.

In addition, for him, under the influence of hammer specialization level 3, Ryan's most powerful weapon is still the two-handed heavy hammer, not the great sword, so Ryan decided to choose the heavy hammer to fight!

And under the effect of "lifting heavy things as if they were light", Ryan believed that the heavy hammer in his hand could keep up with the opponent's speed.

On the day of the duel.

The beautiful women Jennifer and Jenny accompanied Ryan in a carriage to the duel field.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the duel field in the central area of ​​the county city.

The entire appearance of the duel field is circular, and the high outer wall is made of a kind of gray-white stone. Therefore, the opponent gave Ryan the feeling that it was similar to the circular arena in ancient Rome at first glance, but it was two circles smaller in scale.

But this is normal, after all, this is just the duel field in the county city.

Because two nobles are holding a bloody duel here today, and several major chambers of commerce are promoting it, there are a lot of people coming here, much more than in ordinary beast fighting competitions in the past.

After all, the grievances and hatreds between nobles are the topic of conversation for many civilians after dinner.

Now that there is such a big melon to watch, many civilians have saved money by cutting back on their spending and planned to come and have a look.

You know, this kind of thing only happens once in Mayist County in a few years.

Before Ryan's carriage arrived at the door, someone came to greet him. A small team of guards quickly escorted and guided the carriage into an exclusive area inside the duel arena.

After a brief farewell, Ryan got off the car and walked towards the duel passage. After staring at Ryan's back for a while, the beautiful woman and Jenny also walked from the noble exclusive passage to the front row of the noble stands.

At this time, there were already many nobles on the noble stands, including Baron Alonso, Dennis, etc., and even Bishop Rudolf of the Monsoon and Ocean Goddess Church came.

Five minutes later.

With the arrival of Count Habsburg, the governor of Mayist County, who was wearing a black dress, the atmosphere in the duel arena became even more heated.

When Ryan, carrying the indestructible force, and Norman, holding the sword and shield, walked out from the two ends of the passage, the thousands of people in the audience cheered.

At this time, Viscount Hamadi, who had not been seen for a long time, walked to the center of the venue in an exquisite aristocratic formal suit.

Seeing this scene, the whole audience fell silent.

Viscount Hamadi asked:

"Baron Norman, Baron Ryan, both of you are rare talents in the empire. Here, I ask you one last time, is there really an irreconcilable contradiction between the two of you, and do you need a bloody duel?"

This is a necessary link in the formal process of the bloody duel.

Its purpose is to avoid unnecessary internal friction. Now, it is more of a routine.

After all, if it is really possible to mediate, it would have been mediated long before the bloody duel began, and it would not be delayed until now.

"Sure!" Baron Norman said expressionlessly.

"Sure!" Ryan said the same.

"That's a pity! I declare the duel to begin!" Viscount Hamadi shook his head and said with regret.

Because the two agreed to fight on foot before the duel, there were no horses or other mounts on the scene.

As the two stood in the middle of the field.

Baron Norman looked at the young man in front of him, smiled, and said:

"Young man, although this is the first time we have officially met, as you are my opponent, I feel it is necessary to tell you a piece of news." "

Of course, perhaps, this news is likely to be unfortunate news for you."

"Please go ahead." Ryan also smiled and said.

"I have successfully entered the Grand Knight two days ago, so you are doomed to lose!" Baron Norman looked into Ryan's eyes and said word by word.

His purpose of telling Ryan this news before the duel was naturally to shake the opponent's beliefs, so that he could win more easily.

However, he found that his words did not cause the slightest change in Ryan's facial expression, and even his eyebrows did not tremble.

This made Baron Norman feel a little unhappy!

Very uncooperative!

However,

the people in the audience of the duel field were very cooperative. When they heard the word "Grand Knight", they immediately exploded!

Because many people heard that Ryan was a rare baron who was born a commoner, many commoners bet on Ryan to win, but now, what did they hear!

Ryan's opponent in front of him, Baron Norman, has actually entered the level of a great knight.

Even a fool knows that a great knight has a big word in it, so he is naturally stronger than a knight!

Ryan is doomed to lose!

Therefore, many people began to exclaim on the spot, and some even beat their chests and stamped their feet when they bet too much.

In the stands.

Baron Alonso, who saw this scene, couldn't help laughing.

And Dennis couldn't control himself even more. If it weren't for the fact that the people sitting next to him were all nobles or noble heirs of Mayest County, he would have laughed at this moment!

But even now, the corners of his mouth were so raised that he couldn't suppress it at all!

"This is so unfair to Ryan!" Agatha said angrily to Jenny on the side.

"Beautiful Miss Agatha, this is a bloody duel, there is no fairness." After hearing this, Dennis' face lit up, and he turned around and said with a smile.

When he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at Baroness Crawley and Jenny, wanting to see the shocked expressions of the two.

But Dennis was disappointed!

He did not see any particularly sad or shocked expressions from the two women, which made him a little puzzled.

But soon he figured out something, shook his head slightly, and said disdainfully in his heart:

"Women are good at acting, just pretending to be calm. Haha, you will have to take the initiative to beg me when the time comes."

"Mother is plump and beautiful, and Jenny is also pretty and cute, not bad."

At this time, in a corner of the stands, several knights were guarding a graceful woman in a black robe and hood, looking for a position.

If Ryan was here, he would immediately recognize that this was the knight next to the carriage that suddenly appeared behind him when he killed Giovanni that day.

"Miss Naya, you shouldn't be here. Your condition requires rest and recuperation." The knight named Lawrence seemed quite satisfied with the noisy environment of the duel arena. He frowned after just looking around.

"Knight Lawrence, I need to come here."

"The young man that Lord Hamilton mentioned last time, who might be able to help me, is now having a bloody fight with someone else. If the other party loses, do you think I can come and see him?"

The girl's voice was very nice.

"Well, please be careful. If you feel unwell, we will leave immediately." Lawrence thought about it and reluctantly agreed.

"Huh?" The girl Naya exclaimed, covering her mouth.

"Knight Lawrence, isn't this the boy we met on the road that day?" Naya pointed at Ryan in the venue.

That day, she asked Knight Lawrence beside her whether this boy was powerful.

"Huh! Really, I didn't expect it to be the same person." Knight Lawrence also nodded in surprise.

This made the girl more curious about Ryan. Unexpectedly, the person she was looking for and the one she met that day were the same person.

Center of the venue.

At this time, Ryan said something that confused everyone: "The result will not change, right?"

Hearing what Ryan said, Baron Norman was obviously stunned, but soon nodded and said:

"Indeed, the result will not change. Only one person can walk away alive in the bloody duel. It's too late for you to beg for mercy now!" "

By the way, I heard that you have been making armor recently. Why didn't you wear it today?" Baron Norman looked at Ryan in leather armor with a little doubt.

But before Ryan could answer, the other party began to say:

"Forget it, it's not important!"

"It's a pity that you are so young and you have to leave this beautiful world so early."

"Let's start!"

As soon as the voice fell!

Baron Norman held a sword and shield, pointed his toes, left a residual image on the spot, and the whole person quickly attacked Ryan!

In terms of speed, Norman, who had entered the Great Knight, was no less than Giovanni after the transformation.

At the same time, the surface of Baron Norman's armor emitted a faint fluorescence, as if there was some special power protecting him.

Ryan knew that this was not witchcraft or extraordinary characteristics, but Baron Norman's own force defense, the special ability of the Great Knight.

In other words, Baron Norman's defense at this moment, in addition to the armor itself, also has force defense.

Facing the attack of Baron Norman, Ryan was not afraid at all, but calmly took out the dark indestructible force from behind and held it in his hand.

"Dang!!!"

Facing Baron Norman's sword slash, Ryan steadily took it with the hammer.

"Huh?"

Norman's eyes flashed with surprise!

Holding a heavy hammer, he actually had such a fast attack speed?

The next second, Ryan swung a hammer from top to bottom like lightning, it was a furious attack!

Norman, who was promoted to the Great Knight, had just failed in his attack. Facing Ryan's attack, he naturally would not choose to retreat or dodge, but raised his shield with his left hand to block.

"Bang!"

At the moment when the black pig-head hammer hit the shield, Baron Norman's originally calm face immediately changed, and his eyes clearly revealed astonishment.

"This kind of power, is it possible..."

Before Norman finished speaking, Ryan smiled slightly and muttered in his heart!

"Break the limit!"

"Giant force level 3!"

Suddenly, Ryan's entire height suddenly rose a lot, and his muscles became thicker. He launched a series of swift and fierce hammer strikes, bombarding Norman!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Every time Baron Norman resisted, his face changed, and the whole person took two steps back, and his left hand holding the shield gradually began to tremble.

So, the audience in the stands saw such a scene that they couldn't understand.

A peak knight swung a heavy hammer fiercely, smashing the so-called great knight-Baron Norman, step by step back!

And Dennis, who was screaming hard in the stands, was like a drake with its neck pinched, and the voice of encouragement stopped abruptly!

"How is this possible?"

"Shouldn't Ryan be seriously injured by his father in one move?" Dennis murmured in astonishment.

Ryan, who was clearly still a knight in front of him, could actually fight back and forth with his father who had already entered the Grand Knight, no, he had the upper hand. This scene shocked him too much!

After hearing that Baron Norman had entered the Grand Knight, most of the people present, except for Count Habsburg and Archbishop Rudolf, were not optimistic about Ryan.

After all, what is a Grand Knight? In layman's terms, it means being above the Knight. Otherwise, why would there be this level?

After a closer look, it is also easy to understand that the Grand Knight is the existence of the Knight's further evolution and breakthrough. If he can be defeated by the Knight, then what is the meaning of this evolution and breakthrough.

But something that broke their cognition appeared before their eyes.

The next second, as Ryan silently chanted "Power Explosion!"

, Ryan's heart suddenly pumped out a large stream of heat, which accelerated his blood flow and made his veins bulge. At the same time, his whole body was raised again, like a muscle giant.

Ryan slammed Norman with a hammer technique, "Earth-shattering Hammer!"

Baron Norman's face twitched. This time, he no longer wanted to resist for the sake of the face of the great knight, but chose to fly back immediately!

"Boom!!!"

Just when Baron Norman thought he had dodged the attack, Ryan slammed heavily on the ground one meter in front of him!

In an instant, a very strong multiple shock force swept towards Norman in a fan shape.

The people in the nearby stands only felt the stands under their feet shake violently, and then the ordinary audience stood unsteadily, as if they were drunk.

Looking at the ground of the duel field again, within a dozen meters in front of Ryan, the ground was plowed by an unknown force, including small stones, all burst open, forming a large sunken fan-shaped area.

This kind of power!!!

The onlookers were all stunned!

Is this a knight?

Oh my God! It's even bigger than the big knight!

The multiple shock forces caused Baron Norman, who was protected by the Force, to stagnate slightly!

Oops! Norman said secretly.

But this brief pause gave Ryan the opportunity.

Ryan's second earth-shattering hammer had already hit!

"Ah!!! Secret skill 'Iron Wall Defense'!"

Baron Norman shouted angrily, his muscles bulged, and the whole person emitted a faint fluorescence. This was the sign of the full use of the Force. He raised the shield in his hand high, trying to resist Ryan's attack!

"Bang!!!"

At the moment when the hammer and shield collided, although the shield was blessed by the Force, it still cracked directly!

Then!

The first shock was resisted by the Force defense on Baron Norman's body.

The second shock was weakened by the thick plate armor made of special ore.

But the third shock can only be resisted by the strong physical strength of Knight Norman.

The key is that

when Ryan burst out with all his strength, the 'Earth-Splitting Hammer' has four shocks!

Therefore, the fourth shock force went straight into Norman's body, causing damage to his relatively weak body tissues such as his internal organs!

"Puff!"

Baron Norman retreated more than ten steps, and then spit out a large mouthful of blood!

At this moment, he felt a burning pain in his internal organs.

Everyone in the audience looked at this scene with a stunned expression.

Wasn't Baron Norman already a great knight?

How could he be beaten like this?

Especially Baron Alonso and Dennis, the nobles who bet on Baron Norman to win, couldn't believe their eyes at this moment.

A great knight can't beat a knight?

What's going on?

The battle in the center of the venue is still going on!

Ryan rushed towards Baron Norman and swung a dragon hammer at him.

Because Baron Norman's internal organs were severely damaged, his movement speed was greatly reduced, and the shield in his hand was also shattered, so he could only use the knight's sword in his hand to block.

But he couldn't stop it!

He couldn't stop it at all!

"Bang!"

After being slightly blocked by the knight's sword, the hammer still hit Norman's abdomen heavily!

Baron Norman was beaten in half, and a bulge appeared on his back strangely. At the same time, his body flew high like a rocket!

A few seconds later, he fell heavily to the ground.

This time, Ryan did not pursue, but stood there with a two-handed war hammer in his hand.

Baron Norman vomited blood and barely stood up. He stared at Ryan and said, "Your hammer technique has reached the master level?"

Ryan did not speak, but just nodded slightly.

Baron Norman nodded unwillingly and said, "No wonder. No wonder."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Many parts of Baron Norman's body exploded instantly, his armor shattered, blood splattered, and the whole person fell to the ground like a pool of mud, and could never get up again.

Ryan's previous blow had directly shaken Baron Norman's internal organs into powder.

There was no hope!

An imperial baron who had just entered the Grand Knight fell!

"This is not true! This is not true!!" Dennis collapsed on the chair, his eyes were lifeless, and he looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face.

Baron Alonso's face was also livid. His previous bet had caused him to suffer heavy losses!

The two beautiful girls, Jenny and Agatha, covered their mouths with their hands and looked at the victorious Ryan in shock.

Even the beautiful woman Jennifer was not calm.

Although she had seen Ryan's killer move and was very confident in Ryan, she was still very excited when she saw Ryan's victory.

After all, Ryan's opponent was a great knight!

How could a great knight be defeated so easily, but Ryan did it!

The beautiful woman was very proud of her "little man".

In addition, when she thought of the bet return of tens of thousands of gold coins, the beautiful woman became even more excited, and her beautiful and fair face suddenly flushed.

Rudolf in the stands was also very shocked when he looked at the scene in front of him. Although he knew that Ryan must have something to rely on when he rejected Bishop Xien's mediation proposal, it seems that he still underestimated Ryan.

But now it seems that he still underestimated Ryan.

Others may not be able to see why Ryan won, but he knew very well that this was a master-level hammer technique, a level that ordinary knights may not be able to touch in their lifetime, but the young man in front of him had reached it.

This talent is really terrible!

Rudolf suddenly thought of something, and suddenly felt an urge to beat his chest and stamp his feet!

That's right! I

should have tried my best to win Ryan over to the church earlier!

Why did I care about my face at that time and say "think about it"? I should have dragged him away directly!

Missed genius!

Count Habsburg was probably the only calm person present. He smiled and nodded slightly to Ryan, seeming very satisfied, but because Norman who was killed was also his subordinate, this recognition was very implicit.

Most of the civilian audience cheered at this moment.

Most of them thought that they would lose all their money by betting on Ryan, but they didn't expect that the normal duel would turn around and they really won.

This really made them so happy!

Ryan knew that after this battle, his reputation had risen in Meister County!

If the nobles in the county city didn't know him well before, after this bloody duel, Ryan believed that he must be on the focus list of major families.

Because according to his understanding, there are only a few great knights in the whole Meister County.

Even Viscount Hamadi, the sheriff of the county city, is just a senior knight.

And he already has a record of killing a great knight!

"I declare that the winner of this bloody duel is Baron Ryan!" Viscount Hamadi looked at Ryan deeply and announced loudly.

Then came the cheers like a tsunami!

Dennis in the stands felt gloomy!

He knew it was over, all over!

At this moment, many nobles around him were looking at him with eyes that wanted to eat his flesh.

Because of his father's defeat, they, who had invested a lot of money, suffered huge losses!

Soon, the flow of people in the stands began to disperse, and the beautiful woman and Jenny also came over.

Count Habsburg did not come up to say anything to Ryan. After all, another baron died on the spot, and he needed to remain neutral. This was the political quality of a consul.

Rudolf seemed to have similar considerations, so after just exchanging glances with Ryan, he smiled and nodded and left.

After the three of them got on the carriage, the beautiful woman could not hide her excitement and said, "Baron Ryan, we made 36,000 imperial gold coins!"

"What!" Jenny, who was standing by, didn't know that her mother and Ryan had invested so much money, so she was naturally shocked after hearing the news!

What is the concept of 36,000 imperial gold coins?

All the subordinate stores and caravans of the Crowley family, etc., added together, are worth about more than 10,000 imperial gold coins.

In other words, Ryan earned back the assets of two Crowley families in one duel!

Jenny's head was dizzy all the way.

When the carriage returned to the mansion, a few minutes later, a butler came to report, saying, "Baron, Madam, there is a guest outside the door. This is the emblem handed over by the other knight."

This situation was expected by Ryan. Since he won, there would probably be a lot of such social activities in the future.

Ryan planned to postpone these social events as much as possible. If he couldn't, he would let Jennifer attend on his behalf.

So Ryan didn't care.

He just glanced at the other party casually, and his eyes stayed on the other party's emblem.

Huh?

This pattern
