Chapter 276 Iron Hand Skull Crushing (2)
In Twilight Continent, money is not everything.
But no one can deny that money brings a lot of good things.
For example, the dagger in Grand Duke Egbert's hand, for example, the scroll in his other hand.
Grand Duke Egbert was insidious, cruel and cunning by nature, and he was best at taking advantage of the situation. When he needed to be a coward, he could be more cowardly than a dog, but as long as there was a 1% chance, he would dare to take the risk, and as long as there was a 10% chance, he would even risk his life.
He was not originally the first heir of the Egbert family, and the inheritance of the family had nothing to do with him. Although he was the legitimate son, he was ranked fourth, with three older brothers and four younger brothers.
But overnight, three older brothers and four younger brothers all died.
He didn't even bother to do the superficial work of covering up, because he had already calculated that as long as his three elder brothers and four younger brothers were all dead, he would be the only heir to the family. Even if the elders of the family knew that he was the one who murdered them, what would happen? They would still hand over the power of the family to him step by step!
And it was the same now. When Ron became powerful, he knelt on the ground like a grandson, trembling. He could throw away the glory of the Egbert family and the dignity of a legendary six-star master.
But once Ron relaxed his control over him and showed a little slackness, this guy would immediately show his sharp fangs. At heart, he was a gambler.
If you lose the bet, you lose your life.
If he won the bet, he would be promoted to a high position, and enjoy endless wealth and honor. After all, this young man had cheated on Holt 474. Killing him would be like solving a big problem for the king. How could the reward be small? As for Dolores, she couldn't run away. Although Butler was dead, he had many sons. When the time came, she could find another one to marry into the royal family. This relationship, plus the title of Grand Duke, was enough to guarantee the glory of the Egbert family for hundreds or even thousands of years.
What's more, the dagger in his right hand was purchased at a huge price.
A legendary weapon.
Strengthened to +10, with an additional piercing effect, no matter how well one's body is trained, in front of this dagger, it will still make a hole.
That’s not all. He also smeared a deadly poison on the dagger that would kill instantly upon impact. Even if it was a legendary master, once the poison entered the body, it would be enough to stop the opponent’s heart and breathing in just a dozen breaths.
His wristband also has an additional special effect. Once activated, it can increase the speed of his right arm by three times. Although it only lasts for two seconds, it is definitely enough for sneak attacks. Even a powerful thief will have no chance to dodge.
Although the young man in front of him was strange in every way and his strength was beyond his comprehension, Grand Duke Egbert was still 50% sure that he could kill him. 50% was totally worth the gamble in Grand Duke Egbert's eyes.
As for how to escape from Agnes after dealing with this man, Grand Duke Egbert was well prepared. The magic scroll in his other hand could increase his speed several times in a short period of time.
It takes about a minute.
Although he is a warrior and speed is not his strong point, but when his speed is increased several times, he can definitely be called lightning fast. Just one minute is enough for him to run from here to the palace.
This mess was originally pushed onto himself by the old turtle Holt the 474th generation, so naturally, it was Holt who had to solve it in the end.
It has to be said that as a gambler, Grand Duke Egbert's thinking is really flexible. In a short period of time, a fairly complete plan has emerged in his mind.
Seeing the knife getting closer and closer to Ron's abdomen, Grand Duke Egbert became even more excited. He even felt that the original estimate of 50% chance was too conservative. There was at least an 80% chance of success.
But just as the tip of the knife was about to tear Ron's clothes and leave a hole in his stomach, a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Ron's mouth.
Although he was full of confidence, this smile only made Grand Duke Egbert feel frightened.
"slow!"
At this moment, two words suddenly came out of Ron's mouth.
The next moment, an extremely strange scene appeared.
Egbert's originally lightning-fast movements became extremely slow, as if he was stuck in a quagmire!
The dagger in his hand seemed to be heavier than a thousand pounds, and every inch of movement became extremely difficult.
Water magic vortex? Or wind magic whirlpool? Both magics can produce similar effects.
No, it's not that simple. Grand Duke Egbert keenly sensed the difference. His entire existence became abnormally slow. He could clearly see the figures around him from the corner of his eyes. Even those powerless spectators were more agile than him.
That’s not all. Grand Duke Egbert even felt that his thinking was becoming increasingly rigid. The thoughts in his mind seemed to pop out one word at a time. They were extremely strange.
Seeing Grand Duke Egbert's eyes slowly widen and his face gradually become distorted, the smile on Ron's face became more intense.
Slow, what is slow is time.
The dagger stabbed out as if in slow motion, and it even looked a little ridiculous in Ron's eyes.
He just slightly turned his body and easily avoided the sneak attack of Grand Duke Egbert. He seemed to want to change his tactics and change the dagger from stabbing to a diagonal slash. As long as he could leave a wound on Ron, he would be the final winner.
But it took nearly a second for this thought to come to Grand Duke Egbert's mind, and this second was enough for Ron to do many things. He stretched out his left hand and grabbed Grand Duke Egbert's wrist like lightning. Then he shook his fingers lightly, and with a click, Grand Duke Egbert's wrist was broken by Ron.
Ron's strength was so great that even though Grand Duke Egbert's body had been trained to a very strong level, he could not withstand Ron's strength.
The severe pain made Grand Duke Egbert want to scream. His mouth opened little by little, and the sound of "ahhhhhh" flowed out of the Grand Duke's mouth intermittently like a cassette tape.
On the other hand, Ron's time was not affected at all. As soon as he let go of Grand Duke Egbert's wrist, he grabbed the Grand Duke's hair with his left hand.
Immediately, with a bang, the Grand Duke's head was slammed heavily to the ground by Ron.
Even though the stone slabs on the ground were hard, a big hole was smashed out.
When Ron picked up the head of Grand Duke Egbert, his face was covered in blood and his nose was broken. Only one nostril could be seen, and blood was gushing out continuously.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It was not until this moment that Grand Duke Egbert finally realized that he had really hit a wall this time. He opened his mouth desperately, as if he wanted to beg for mercy.
But Ron didn't give him a chance to speak.
Bang! Another dull sound.
The floor tiles broke into pieces with a crackling sound, and the cracks had even spread far away.
This time, all the teeth were broken.
Bang, bang, bang…
Grand Duke Egbert had almost completely turned into a passive kowtowmaker, slamming his head heavily on the ground again and again.
That scene made everyone around shudder.
Click.
A crisp sound made people's scalp tingle.
The Grand Duke's head had already cracked open, and blood mixed with a thick white substance gradually flowed out through the gaps between the bones.
During the entire process, Grand Duke Egbert had no chance to beg for mercy or struggle. Who could have imagined that the kingdom's top noble would fall into such a miserable situation.
After all, Grand Duke Egbert was not a waste like Butler. His body was squirming and he even wanted to struggle. The magic power in his body was surging wildly, trying to give himself a chance to survive.
However, as his own time was slowed down, Egbert only felt that the movement of his own magic power was abnormally sluggish. Before he could fully mobilize his magic power, Ron suddenly lifted Grand Duke Egbert's head to a higher position.
Immediately, boom...
There was a loud roar, and the ground beneath his feet shook three times.
The surging force instantly created a huge hole on the ground with a diameter of several meters and a depth of more than one meter.
Grand Duke Egbert's head was gone, leaving only a headless corpse on the ground, still twitching and squirming, as if dead but not yet stiff.
On the other side, Ron slowly stood up.
Only on the fingers of the left hand, there was a viscous semi-fluid mixed with thick white and scarlet red, which flowed down the fingertips and fell to the ground drop by drop.
