Chapter 26: One Hammer
"Let me try."
Luo Xi walked forward. Not to mention that he had been getting along very well with the caravan these days, he was also counting on taking a ride with the caravan to Blackstone Castle. How could he watch them being killed? Seeing Luo Xi standing up, the mercenaries looked at each other with complicated expressions.
Such courage is worthy of their admiration, but courage alone cannot solve any problems at this time.
An older mercenary said, "Don't die in vain."
Luo Xi smiled and said, "What if I win?"
The mercenaries were stunned by their fearless attitude of facing death. At this moment, an ordinary person could stand in front of them, but those who claimed to be sword-wielding were frightened and unable to move.
A feeling of shame quickly surged into everyone's heart.
"Fight them!"
Feeling ashamed, the mercenaries clenched their cross swords tightly, and the morale that had been lost due to fear dropped again.
Enrique frowned.
He glanced at the mercenaries who were gripping their cross swords again. If they fought now, even if they won, they would have to pay a heavy price.
The Earl of the West Territory is critically ill and the situation is showing signs of chaos. He is planning to rely on his accumulated wealth to return to the aristocratic circle, so it is not a good idea to waste it here easily.
His gaze returned to the culprit in front of him, his eyes somewhat gloomy.
He asked, "Who are you?"
Luo Xi swung the sledgehammer back on his shoulder and said arrogantly: "I'll kill your man with one hammer."
Enrique didn't know where the boy opposite him got his confidence from. His every move and gesture clearly didn't seem like that of a strong man who had received formal training.
But this is not important now. What is important is how to defeat the morale of the mercenaries and make them lose their fighting spirit.
"Oh!"
Enrique sneered: "I won't let you die easily."
Accepting the challenge of an ordinary person would definitely be a loss of honor for a knight, but Enrique still shook his long hair and walked into the duel circle.
He wanted to cut off Luo Xi's flesh bit by bit in the duel and keep him alive as long as possible.
Let these mercenaries know what cruelty is! Luo Xi walked into the duel circle and, like Knight Karl before him, stepped back fifty steps and stood still.
He looked at Enrique who was ready to fight across from him. The sharp cross sword scattered bursts of cold light under the sunlight, and he looked murderous.
Infected by this momentum, an inexplicable emotion surged from Luo Xi's heart. He felt the sweetness on his tongue, his heartbeat accelerated, and adrenaline was quickly secreted in his body.
No matter what, this was the first time since he came to this world that he had truly fought a duel of life and death with someone.
His expression became more serious.
"Complete a challenge seriously, time point +6 days."
"Ding!" The gong rang.
"Da da da!" The sound of uneasy footsteps rang out, and Enrique ran towards Rosie quickly, like a cheetah giving it its all, and his speed seemed to be even faster than before.
In contrast, Luo Xi stood there motionless, like a lamb to be slaughtered.
The absolute gap in strength made this battle a foregone conclusion from the very beginning. Many people closed their eyes and could not bear to watch the cruel scene that was to follow.
“Crash!”
However, at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew up for no reason, carrying the dust on the ground from behind Luo Xi and rushing towards Enrique. For a moment, the wind and sand were everywhere, submerging the two people who were dueling.
Enrique frowned. A large amount of dust blurred his vision, forcing him to squint.
However, this obstacle is nothing. The knight's five senses are extremely sharp, and he can continue fighting even with his eyes closed.
After a brief pause, Enrique continued to charge, and the next second he was in front of Luo Xi. With a humming sound of the sword, the cross sword in his hand bit towards Luo Xi like a poisonous snake.
However, at this moment, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped, and an extremely cold air current wrapped around Enrique's whole body. He felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cave in the legendary extremely cold land.
He subconsciously looked down, but was shocked to find that a layer of azure blue ice had appeared on his body without him noticing when, and his entire body was frozen firmly and unable to move.
Ice Element: Frost.
"What, what is this..." Enrique's pupils suddenly shrank.
At the same time, an obscure and strange tone sounded in his ears. He looked up suddenly, but saw Luo Xi's lips trembling slightly, and characters that he could not understand popped out of his mouth one after another.
Along with this strange tone, the supernatural power that was completely beyond the control of human beings was vented out.
"No, no." Enrique was shocked.
An unprecedented sense of fear quickly swept through his body, just like an ant meeting a pangolin, or fish and shrimp meeting a giant whale. The gap in life levels made it impossible to resist.
He finally understood where the confidence and courage of this young man in front of him came from, and finally recognized his identity.
He screamed in shock: "You are a witch!"
“Hoohoo~”
There was a cold sound of breaking wind, and before Enrique could finish his words, a huge hammer came towards him and hit him hard on the head.
The physique of a formal knight was truly amazing. Even though Luo Xi's full-strength attack with three times the strength of an ordinary person only made a small cut on his head, it was far from being fatal.
Luo Xi estimated that it would take at least a dozen hits to kill him.
So he promptly and decisively controlled a small handful of wind elements to drill into Enrique's brain through the gap, and controlled them to form tiny wind blades to crush Enrique's brain.
"Ah!!! Ugh!"
Enrique screamed, his body twitched twice, and then he fell backwards with blood flowing from all seven orifices.
At the same time, the wind and sand in the sky also dissipated and stopped at this moment.
The crowd outside was startled at first, then stunned, with an expression of disbelief on their faces.
Everything happened so fast and so suddenly that they had no idea what was happening. They only saw Enrique rushing towards Rosie, and then suddenly a strong wind blew over.
No one knew what happened afterwards, but it seemed that the young man took the opportunity to hit Enrique, and Enrique fell down.
A knight was killed by a common man with a hammer?
Everyone thought this was ridiculous and unbelievable, but it really happened.
In shock, Knight Karl, who was supported by the mercenaries, immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to turn the tide. He shouted loudly, "Quick, draw your swords and fight!"
"What are you waiting for? Draw your cross swords and chop off the heads of these evil thieves!"
"Glory is waiting for you, and bounty is waiting for you!"
"Draw your swords, fight! Draw your swords, fight!"
The mercenaries immediately came to their senses. Their greatest fear had been removed, and the only ones left were unknown people who provided them with experience packs to increase their reputation and earn bounties.
“Clang!”
The cold sound of metal intertwining rang out continuously, and the cross sword was illuminated brightly by the dazzling sunlight.
The morale of the mercenaries was boosted, and they shouted in unison:
"Draw your swords and fight!"
"For glory!"
