Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 329 Duel
After talking with Prince Joyce for a while, Rhodes walked in the courtyard for a while to observe the terrain before returning to the castle hall.

Prince Joyce couldn't bear the harassment of those noble ladies, so he used the toilet as an excuse to hide in the garden of the courtyard.

The banquet was still going on as before Rhodes left, but there were more people dancing.

The aristocrats in the mainland practice the monogamy system, and many aristocratic marriages are for the benefit of the family, not from their own sincerity.Therefore, many nobles wanted to take advantage of this banquet to find a suitable lover to vent their inner desires.

"That cowardly boy sneaked away at some point, and the Marquis of Marlon was looking for him everywhere. He was so aggressive when he asked for a duel, but I didn't expect that he was actually a coward who was afraid of death." Rhodes heard a man the sound of.

Looking in the direction where the voice came from, he saw a fat middle-aged nobleman sitting on a bench not far away with his arms around a heavily made-up noblewoman, constantly mocking Rhodes' "flee without a fight." ".

Rhodes didn't expect that when he went to the courtyard to have a meal and negotiate a business, he would be regarded as fleeing without a fight.

He walked up to the fat middle-aged nobleman, "You said Marquis Marlon is looking for me, so go and tell me I'm here."

"Are you worthy of me running errands to find him?" The obese middle-aged nobleman looked Rhodes up and down.

Rhodes took out a pair of white gloves and held them in his hands, "How about we have a duel first?"

After looking around for a while, the fat middle-aged nobleman whispered to Rhodes, "Don't challenge me to a duel, I'll help you find him right now."

The aristocratic woman with heavy make-up next to him didn't show any surprise. She and Rhodes watched the fat aristocrat move comically through the crowd and ran into the distance.

Not long after, the fat noble came back panting.

"My lord, the Duke wants you to get ready, the duel between you and the Marquis will take place in the castle hall." The fat nobleman panted heavily.

Rhodes nodded, and then he found a seat and sat down, waiting for the start of the duel.

It's still a little exciting to have a duel with a noble for the first time.

The soothing music in the hall gradually stopped and was replaced by a passionate piece of music.

Rhode saw a man wearing a full set of metal armor walking down surrounded by a group of nobles.

This should be Marquis Marlon.

The silver armor on his body exudes a faint golden light. It doesn't seem to be made of ordinary steel, and there are traces of magic circles on it.

In his left hand he held a black and gold one-handed straight sword, and in his right hand he held a shield exuding a mysterious aura and shining purple light.

Marquis Marlon should be left-handed, so he holds a sword in his left hand.

The magic equipment on his body should have been passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors, and he doesn't know what the magic effect of the inscription is.

The duel does not stipulate that people participating in the duel cannot wear equipment, and the equipment on their bodies is also part of their own strength.

It is impossible to ask the enemy to take off their clothes to fight on the battlefield.

Rhodes stood up and walked to the middle of the hall.

"Are you going to duel with me like this? Are you saying that you can't even afford a set of armor?" Marquis Marron laughed.

"Okay, don't say such mocking words before the duel." A dignified but somewhat bald Nord next to Marquis Maron said.

He should be the lord of Dawn Province, Duke William.

"Can the duel begin now?" Rhodes asked, unaffected by Marquis Mullen's words.

"It's time to start. Although I don't know the specific reason for your duel, everyone present and I will be witnesses to this duel. Please keep a distance first." Duke William said, they should have not passed the afternoon The matter told Duke William.

Rhodes nodded, and slowly stepped back.

He drew out a greatsword made by the Macan and held it in his right hand.

The Macan's greatsword was barely a broadsword for his height.

"Let's begin." Duke William said.

Marquis Marlon raised his sword and slowly approached Rhodes. His steps seemed to be a combat skill, and every step he took would make a dull sound, echoing in the hall.

His body seems to be integrated with the earth, giving people an unbreakable feeling.

Rhodes rushed in front of him and stabbed straight with his sword. Before Marquis could raise his shield in time, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Rhodes' sword.

The armor of an unknown metal shattered through his body, but the blade did not penetrate it.

Not very strong.

Rhodes continued to attack Marquis Marquis. He swung the broadsword with a speed and strength far beyond ordinary people, leaving cracks in Marquis Marquis' ancient armor.

Bright red blood seeped from the armor.

Marquis Marlon roared, his eyes under the heavy helmet lit up with a bloody light, and his strength and speed obviously soared a lot.

This is crazy?

Rhodes dexterously dodged the Marquis Marquis' attack, and the golden lightning flashed on his black and golden knight's straight sword, brushing Rhodes' hair, and sucking his hair up.

Marquis Marquis's swordsmanship is very strong, coupled with his straight sword that dances with golden lightning, it is even much stronger than the knight Rhodes encountered in the castle in the conscious world.

But Rhode's Dugu Nine Swords has also improved a lot, and in his eyes Marquis Marquis still has a lot of flaws.

Soon Rhodes turned from defense to offense again, suppressing Marquis Marlon.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Marquis Marlon began to recite some kind of spell silently, and the purple light on the shield in his right hand gradually became brighter.

"Go to hell!" He shouted loudly, and a purple beam of light shot out from the shield towards Rhodes.

The purple light illuminated the entire castle hall, and the nobles watching the battle couldn't help but close their eyes under the stimulation of the strong light.

Move the stars!

Under the guidance of Rhodes, the purple beam of light blasted towards the ceiling, piercing through the ceiling of the castle, and countless gravel and dust fell.

Rhodes circulated his internal force, forming a wall of wind around him. The internal force with cutting effect cut the fallen objects into pieces at any time. He poured his internal force into the broadsword, and sharp sword energy sprayed out from the broadsword .

In order to make this duel look more exciting, he didn't even use his internal strength and sword energy, but relied entirely on pure physical strength to fight against Marquis Marlon.

If he killed Marquis Marlon in an instant, the nobles watching the battle would not be able to realize his strength.

In fact, Rhodes originally didn't intend to kill Marquis Marquis. Killing him in someone else's house was not in line with Rhode's long-standing concept, but since Marquis Marquis had used the killer, he would no longer be polite. .

Boom!
Rhodes kicked hard and shot towards Marquis Marlon. The solid stone floor under his feet shattered like a spider's web.

He raised the broadsword in his hands with both hands and fell towards Marquis Marlon.

Marquis Marlon hurriedly raised the shield in his hand, and the purple light on the surface of the shield flowed, giving people an unbreakable feeling.

boom!
A dull bang echoed in the hall, and the windows made of crystal shattered.

The sword energy with the cutting effect exploded like a storm, leaving countless fine cracks on the ancient armor of Marquis Marlon.

The seemingly indestructible purple shuttle-shaped shield on Marquis Marquis' right hand was sunken by Rhodes' blow, and the right hand holding the shield fell down feebly, and his legs that seemed to be integrated with the ground were also sunken. In the stone floor.

He spat blood out of his mouth, then roared, and raised the black gold straight sword in his left hand with the last of his strength to stab Rhode's jaw.

With a movement of Rhode's wrist, an arm holding a sword and half of a mutilated head wearing a knight's helmet fell to the ground.

Amidst the exclamations of the nobles, the corpse fell backwards and hit the ground, causing the dust that had already settled to float into the air again.

"Everyone should have seen it just now. If I hesitated in the last blow, then I would be the one who fell, so I didn't stop in the end.

We are all adults, so we shouldn't feel uncomfortable with this kind of scene..."
