Soul of Burning Steel

There is no nonsense, the fight has already started from the moment the two left the imperial capital.

In ancient times, two warriors who would be worshiped as demigods or even gods broke through the defensive barriers of the imperial capital and the three mountain fortress in just a few seconds, and came to the location of about 5,000 meters above the sky in the Mycroft Continent .

At this time, Israel's whole body was covered with materialized life energy, and his fighting spirit was condensed into a black-gold armor. He arrived at the area chosen by both sides earlier than Joshua, but he didn't make the first move. His Majesty the Emperor folded his hands in front of his chest, and looked straight at the soldier with calm eyes, showing the conceit of 'do whatever you want'.

And the aura and pressure that seemed to be collapsing, just like a falling mountain, pressed down on Joshua, but the warrior did not waver at all. If the aura of the legendary strong man is like a catastrophe, then he is now It is a piece of iron stone that has been tempered thousands of times.

indestructible.

Located at an altitude of 5,000 meters, surrounded by gray and thick cumulonimbus cloud tops, Joshua's eyes were slightly closed, his whole body moved up and down, gathering strength, and in the next moment, he suddenly took a step forward, and the whole body rushed forward .

Charging, the basic of the basics, is a skill that even ordinary fighters without fighting spirit can use skillfully. However, under the influence of Joshua's power, the air is pierced through this simple movement, and the surrounding towers are thousands of meters away. The top of the cumulonimbus cloud was like a sandcastle in a storm, completely blown away by the aftermath of his steps.

In an instant, the warrior could be seen crossing a distance of hundreds of meters and arriving in front of Israel, and an extremely solid beam of high-temperature fighting energy was one step ahead of his body, covering the entire body of the emperor , and Joshua also held the great sword of magic, and slashed towards the opponent without hesitation.

This time for revenge, Joshua didn't call Rin who was still on business, he only brought Yingying. Facing a legendary strongman, a warrior has no psychological pressure to use a weapon, even if the opponent is empty-handed.

"good!"

In Israel's eyes, it seemed that the one who charged was not a human being, but a meteorite that tore through the sky. The sword, which was bigger than a human body, seemed to be slashing indiscriminately and domineeringly. There are vertical slashes, reverse slashes, thrusts and horizontal slashes across the air. The silver blades cut deadly straight lines and arcs.

With Joshua's strength and the quality of the giant sword, every random slash can easily reach ten times the speed of sound, bringing an instant impact of hundreds of tons. Attacking with such power, let alone a creature of flesh and blood , even steel structures hundreds of meters high and giant monsters in the deep sea will be chopped into pieces of meat. Ordinary weapons can't bear this kind of load at all, and will shatter in an instant. Only the strengthened God The machine can withstand it.

Facing Joshua's onslaught like a falling meteorite, Israel couldn't take it casually. Facing the black and red sword flames that were almost engulfed by himself around his waist, his eyes froze, and the materialized fighting spirit covered his hands. , and then broke into it without hesitation.

The high-temperature grudge was dissipated, the sound of iron and steel clanging sounded, and the indestructible giant sword was blocked abruptly. Yisrael showed his incredible skills, blocking every attack of the warrior head-on. A series of thunderous explosions rang out in the sky, making the people of the imperial capital at the bottom doubt whether it was real thunder.

The legendary strong man didn't attack, but condensed his materialized fighting spirit into a pair of armor. No matter how Joshua attacked, he would attack them one by one, but even so, the heavy and incomparably heavy counter-shock force passed through the magic sword, passed to the warrior's hands.

This time, Israel didn't stay strong, nor did he suppress his power to the extreme level. Every time he rebounded, it was a genuine blow with legendary power. Joshua cut out consecutively in an instant. A thousand times, not only did not get any results, but his arms were a little numb, and his movements were sluggish for a moment.

"It's already pretty good."

Israel still had the strength to speak and express his appreciation. He naturally sensed the warrior's weakness, and then he rushed forward slightly, hitting Joshua's chest with a straight punch.

This blow was faster than lightning, and the sun-like golden fighting spirit was stirred, making the sky glow thousands of meters high, the wind pressure scattered the clouds, and a heavy rain fell on the imperial capital. Israel didn't hold back much, but kept it as far as possible so as not to kill him. If he really hit, even Joshua would lose his fighting power instantly.

But the soldier didn't panic. Joshua's thoughts flashed in his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he let go of the big sword in his hand and slashed towards Israel's waist, while twisting his arms horizontally like a rolling mill. It is necessary to twist the opponent's arm that hit directly.

He had expected this scene a long time ago - Joshua knew how strong the legendary strongman was, and it was reasonable for his attack to be blocked, even if he used a weapon at hand, facing His Majesty For this punch, he naturally used all his strength. The boiling life energy flowed through every minute part of his body. They resonated, resonated, and then condensed into a whole in an instant. At this moment, Joshua is no longer a human being composed of hundreds of trillion cells, but an extraordinary life composed of life energy.

The strength of Jiansheng Steel's arms gathered, and the energy of the whole body was absorbed and increased. I saw Israel punching. The moment the fists and arms touched, the explosive airflow and impact completely blew away the clouds within a kilometer radius. Bring a strong wind. Residents who just woke up in the early hours of the morning experienced heavy rain and strong winds within seconds after seeing the glow. The sky changed so violently that it even caused a burst of panic.

The warrior's strength was nuanced, and so was Israel. Joshua threw his sword and slashed at his waist, and twisted his arms to punch straight. If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely be in a hurry, but this method could not stop him. Israel didn't even stop the attack, he just turned sideways slightly, avoiding the great sword, then retracted his fists and turned his elbows, broke through the defense of his arms, and leaned towards the warrior fiercely.

By this means, there is a solid fighting spirit that vibrates rapidly, even if it is a mountain made of diamonds, it will be completely knocked out of a big hole, and the flesh and blood will be easily scraped into flesh, and layers of terrifying life energy flow Repelling all the magic power of the surrounding elements, time and space were temporarily closed, and even the magic circle in the three mountain fortress of the imperial capital lost control for a moment.

Dodge, or hard catch.

Naturally, Joshua would not be so stupid as to take the blow that could smash the dragon into a pulp. He was aggressive, but he was not stupid. The warrior simply let go of the strength in his hand, and then used Israel's fighting spirit to attack him. The turbulent energy flow avoided the sharpness of the blow, followed the aftermath to the opponent's side, and caught the sword that hit the air, but even the aftermath easily tore apart the warrior's outer fighting spirit Defense, with white marks on his body.

Holding the sword with ten fingers, he took another step, and Joshua rushed forward again, slashing straight at His Majesty the Emperor.

This blow is completely different from the previous thousand blows in an instant. Facing the endless chaotic army and the army of mad dragons, the more attacks the better, and the more average the strength, the better. Of course, it only makes sense to use every bit of your own strength, and even super-level performance.

Breathing out a mouthful of hot steam, Joshua's body seemed to be a fusion furnace running at high speed. Fighting energy and muscle strength resonated in harmony, and then exploded at the same time. The black and red energy was channeled into the silver sword, turning it into a red crystal. The same color, this sword slashed, and the insignificant aftermath caused a tornado storm at an altitude of a thousand meters.

At this moment, he has already used countless skills and skills of amplitude, and the energy of life is surging like a tide, cracking the void.

Even Israel felt a tingling pain from the skin under the battle qi armor, and the smell of burning steel from the tip of his nose, which meant that even Joshua would be injured if he was hit hard. Surprised at Joshua's precise grasp of power and the terrifying solidity of fighting spirit, it is no less than a strong man who has just entered the legend. His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help laughing, but then, a golden light flashed in his pupils, and he began to deal with it seriously. Warrior's attack.

——In order not to let the aftermath of the battle spread to the people of the imperial capital, he couldn't keep his hand. If the power of Joshua's sword strikes the imperial capital from the air, then half of the city on the northwest side will be cut in half. The heat that surpasses the high temperature on the surface of the sun will ignite a fire that spreads to the entire city in an instant. Elsewhere, the peaks are cut vertically, and the river is cut off.

Clenching his fists, Israel sternly gathered his strength.

Dou Qi is the power of life, the tributary of the power of steel that derives all things.

The so-called legend means that it has crossed the boundary between the essence of life and the origin of the world. The essence of grudge is not limited to the power of life, but can freely transform mass and energy. Impossible.

Unprecedented ripples appeared above His Majesty's right fist, and fragments of the world began to appear, surrounding his arm. The turbulent waves and tsunami-like power spread with the fighting spirit, as if a second Haoyang appeared in the sky, and then all the power was condensed into one point.

Immediately, it was a punch.

This punch went straight to Joshua's great sword, without the slightest hesitation, Israel's fist was like a dragon-slaying spear, with the will to penetrate everything, the illusory will at this moment , was manifested into substance by the fighting spirit, so that the soldiers could actually see that it was indeed His Majesty the Emperor holding a lance and stabbing at him decisively.

Handover of fists and swords.

Moments later, the air rippled.

The path of light was refracted extremely chaotic by the violently fluctuating air and blood mist, and a figure flew upside down like a bolide, which was clearly seen by the entire imperial capital. Since there were almost no obstacles in the sky, he flew for several kilometers before stopping.

After stabilizing his figure, Joshua breathed out a deep mouthful of bloody breath. He was still holding the big sword in his hands tightly with his ten fingers, but the muscles and blood vessels in his arms were throbbing due to the huge force reflection. It burst open, and blood dripped little by little.

But between breaths, the blood flowed back, the muscles squirmed, the blood vessels closed together, the nerves, the slightly dislocated joints and the bloody hands returned to their original state in an instant.

In the same place, Israel frowned, looked at his vindictive gauntlet that had been split open, the right fist that had exposed bones, and even a trace of bone crack could be seen, and then laughed again.

"Impressive."

He nodded, and said to himself in admiration: "At first, I thought that blocking the long sword of embers was only because the red dragon couldn't control it well, but now it seems that it was his own strength."

His Majesty the Emperor didn't go to other places, he just stayed where he was, and then let go of his fighting spirit armor, revealing his underwear behind him. After a few seconds, a flash of light flashed, and Joshua returned here again.

"How about it, do you still want to continue the challenge?"

Israel moved his intact right fist, looked sideways at the soldier, nodded, and expressed his approval: "You are stronger than I guessed, I thought this blow could knock you out Serious injury, let you stop for several months."

"Nearly." Joshua also withdrew his great sword, and after a flash of magic power, he held Ying in his arms and came to His Majesty the Emperor, and said with some regret: "I thought I could still have a little resistance, but I didn't Your Majesty will blow you away just thinking about it a few times."

After hearing these words, Israel had a strange expression on his face. Although he didn't wear any armor or weapon this time, and basically dealt with Joshua empty-handed, he punched Joshua seriously, even those legendary heads The five-color dragon was also unwilling to take it head-on, but Joshua slashed down with his sword, and the condensed battle energy split more than 90% of his fist strength, and also broke through his battle spirit armor and physical defense. The force retreated, avoiding the counter-shock force that could bombard the hills into flat ground.

This skill is no less than that of a legendary strongman. This is called having no resistance, so what is resistance? Anti-kill him?

At this time, there was no need to continue fighting. Joshua knew that if he hadn't reached Legend, it was basically impossible to beat other Legends. The disadvantage of a few rounds represented complete suppression. Bigger than gold and extreme intention, there is no such thing as a leapfrog challenge in this world, no matter how much you think about it, it is better to improve your strength as soon as possible.

In Joshua's arms, Yingying seemed to be a little dizzy, and she didn't know whether it was because of the dizziness caused by the backshock, or because of other reasons.

Israel tidied up his nightgown. After he noticed Joshua's power erupting, he ran out of the bedroom. He looked down at the ruins of Fertao's house, and then sighed: "The battles between the nobles of the imperial capital basically happened between the agents, because the blood of the family was involved, and it was revenge that would never give up. Although it was a bit ruthless, after taking the risk of their lives, those agents who were supported also got what you want."

"Money, power, status, the chance to become a nobleman, in this matter alone, this is a fair deal."

Turning his head and looking at Joshua, His Majesty the Emperor said calmly: "I can understand your anger, but this is the order of this world, you are stronger than the Fertao and Seward family, so you can ignore it Kill them, but you are not as strong as me now, so you must accept punishment."

"OK."

Nodding simply, Joshua didn't have any hesitation. He already knew how serious it was to kill people in the imperial capital, especially the nobles. His majesty was questioned, but since he was ready to take action, he was also ready to accept punishment.

"starting today."

Turning his head and looking at the three-mountain magic circle that was broken through, Israel shook his head: "You will stay in the Northland, and you will be banned for a year. If you have no special circumstances, you are not allowed to go out. Fertao and Suward's family That's the end of the matter."

After waiting for a long time, Joshua frowned and said, "That's all?"

There is no need to beat me to death, and there is no other substantive punishment?

"Do you still want a heavier one?" On the contrary, Israel was a little baffled: "You are a strong man, the patriarch of the Radcliffe family, and your father is my staunch supporter and the most staunch emperor. Dang, you killed several hostile noble children for revenge... I taught you because you shot in the imperial capital and didn't follow my rules. If you were in the wilderness, what does the family feud of you nobles have to do with the royal family?"

This partiality is a little too much. Joshua honestly expressed his thoughts, and he himself felt a little unbelievable. The soldier came to the imperial capital only after he was mentally prepared to be severely injured and sent back to the Northland.

But Israel didn't care.

"Severely punish an extremely strong man who can now confront legends?" He said sarcastically, "Just for this little thing? I might as well find another excuse, for example, you intend to rebel... You know, you You swung your sword at me just now."

Before Joshua could reply, His Majesty the Emperor shook his head.

"A few months ago, I thought I was dying."

Israel lowered his head, looked down from a high altitude, and looked at the Morlaix Palace in the center of the imperial capital. His tone was flat, as if he was not talking about himself: "Ten years, twenty years? No, this is too extravagant, I think it's only five or six years. All in all, my life keeps passing by. In the past ten years, death It’s a countdown that can be seen.”

"In the entire empire, there are not many people who can believe it. Teacher Nostradamus is old. He might die before me. This stinky old man has no desire to break through the legend at all. He wants to teach the world with all his heart. More good students will become the pillars of the empire, I can't count on him."

Joshua listened quietly, while His Majesty the Emperor also spoke expressionlessly.

"But he doesn't understand that it is not enough to have pillars in this world. You need a pillar that can support the entire hall alone, so that the entire empire will not fall. Without the power of legend, no matter how large and unified the country is, it is just duckweed, and it will split at any time .”

"...Do you think I can do it?" Joshua's expression changed. He understood Israel's meaning, so he felt extremely incredible: "To be honest, Your Majesty, we haven't met a few times, so you plan to In the future... are you not afraid that I have any ambitions?"

"Ambition?" Israel sneered, as if he had heard a joke: "How can a simple hungry wolf have any ambition? Do you eat meat? There are so many strong men in this world waiting for you to challenge, do you care about an empire?"

This point is accurate. Joshua kept his mouth shut. He really didn't care about this at all. If he wanted soldiers to manage an empire, he might just quit and travel to other worlds.

"I really don't have any ambitions." After thinking for a while, Joshua said seriously, "But others may not—it's impossible for the imperial family to always have legendary powerhouses, so what did you do before then?"

"This question goes straight to the core." Israel nodded. He seemed to know that Joshua would ask such a question, so he had already prepared an answer: "Then why do you think the imperial family can rule this powerful people? The empire of nearly a thousand years?"

The soldier said he didn't know.

And His Majesty the Emperor did not answer directly. He said in a flat tone: "The Radcliffe family moved to the Northland more than 400 years ago to guard the sealed land. No one can do this except you, no one can do it——Dale The same is true for the Mond family ruling this land, even if there are other legendary strongmen who surpass the royal family, it is impossible to replace us, at most the royal family will be weak for a hundred years."

He didn't say more, but Joshua frowned when he revealed the information, and Israel didn't give the soldier time to think, he looked at the flashing magic light below, turned his head and said to Joshua : "Okay, you go back to the Northland now. In a few weeks, the natural instructor will lead the team in person. You have to be ready for the interview. Pope Eagle will also look for you soon, although I don't know why, But it’s a very serious thing to think about.”

"During this year's ban, prepare the territory carefully and make corresponding preparations to deal with the impact of the Black Forest beast tide."

After hesitating for a while, Israel still shook his head and whispered with a wry smile.

"Because the tide of magic is coming."
