Chapter 1092 Take a Strike
In front of the Archaic Tribe Base, sweat seeped down Dante’s back. The person standing before him was none other than Elder Swordsman, Larry Freeman! Havotune’s most prominent figure, once the infamous manslayer of Havotune, had faded into obscurity over the years. Most people had begun to forget his existence, but when he appeared or when someone mentioned him, it would still send shockwaves, evoking memories of all the lost souls in that city. In Dante’s view, Larry was a complete madman. No matter how low-key he tried to be now, he was still a madman. And this madman had a sore spot, and that was Regina!
In Havotune’s elite combat power circle, everyone knew that Larry and Regina came from the same sect. Larry had been pursuing Regina for many years, and she was his sore spot. He couldn’t tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Regina, let alone any disrespect. What Gerald just said, in Dante’s view, was no different than courting death. He doesn’t think Gerald is a match for Dante.
However, upon further thought, it seemed that Gerald might be a madman as well. When he reached the supreme level of Flame Decay, he was in Underground Palace, openly challenging the Eight Forces. He even directly threatened Soulreaper Sect.
Just now, they were even more decisive in their actions, starting immediately as soon as they said they would. Of course, Dante had to admit that the reason Gerald had just come up with was indeed the best one he could find. Although this approach may seem like a manifestation of a guilty conscience to others, he had to admit that it was indeed a viable solution.
After all, if they really investigate, there’s a high chance of being exposed. But if they don’t, they can still deny it. Resisting Dante was just too difficult.
They felt that if Dante insisted on breaking in, no one here could stop him. Gerald stood atop the city wall, gazing down at the sharp sword intent ernanating from Elder Swordsman below, and couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.
Elder Swordsman only had fluctuations of Vital Energy on his body, with no attributes flowing out. Clearly, just like Alcoholic, he was a being with immense combat power that didn’t rely on attributes. In the previous battle with Soulreaper Sect, he had also come to understand an important principle!
That means one shouldn’t rely too much on attributes. Attributes seem to serve as a support, rather than the primary means of attack. Otherwise, if the attribute is countered, it would be quite uncomfortable.
In the path of martial arts, it is the martial arts that truly forms the foundation. Facing Elder Swordsman, Gerald remained fearless. He stood on the city wall, his eyes burning brightly as he stared at Elder Swordsman.
“Kid!” Elder Swordsman’s gaze darkened as he took a step forward, instantly closing in on Gerald’s side. Gerald let out a cold chuckle as his Vital Energy surged, and in an instant, he leaped down from the wall.
Although both of their weapons were vibrating, neither of them chose to draw them out. It seemed as if the two intended to clash first without using their weapons!
In an instant, the two of them drew closer. Elder Swordsman emanated an unfathomable aura, and with a single punch, he struck directly at Gerald. Gerald sneered and roared angrily, “Torrential Fist!”
The moment his voice roared out, he swiftly turned to the side and then launched a powerful kick! Bang! Elder Swordsman’s expression froze, and a hint of annoyance appeared on his face as he said, “What the hell!”
As everyone knows, legs are longer than arms. Gerald randomly shouted the name of a boxing technique and then kicked out. Elder Swordsman immediately sensed something was off, but it was too late to react. He was directly kicked in the left arm by Gerald, and a terrifying vital energy and oppressive force erupted.
Elder Swordsman was sent flying like a cannonball. Elder Swordsman managed to stop himself by continuously releasing his strength. With a gloomy expression, he looked at Gerald and said, “Just a petty trick!” Gerald didn’t expect that his attack would be able to cause any damage to
Elder Swordsman. In fact, he had already sensed it earlier – this legendary figure was indeed terrifyingly powerful. If Gerald had chosen to directly clash fists with him, he might have ended up injured himself.
Indeed, there is a difference between Eternal Flame Decayer and eternal Flame Decayer. Moreover, Elder Swordsman hasn’t even used his attribute-related ability yet, nor has he employed his most proficient sword.
At this moment, in the distance, the white-colored longsword on Elder Swordsman’s back was trembling more and more intensely. Gerald could hear the continuous clashing sounds between the sword’s body and its scabbard.
“Gerald, my patience is limited, and I’m not interested in playing these childish games with you,” said Elder Swordsman. “I’ll ask you one last time, will you hand over Sylvie? What exactly are you feeling guilty about?”
