Chapter Twenty: Duel

  "You mean I'm relying on false pretenses and bullying people with my power?" Li Xie coldly smiled.

  Lari? Panson sneered: "Isn't it? If it weren't for your majesty's gold medal, would you dare to be so arrogant?"

  Li Xie burst out laughing: "Haha, so funny! What's wrong with me relying on the golden token of Your Majesty? This is my skill and also the recognition of Your Majesty! Why don't I see Your Majesty giving you the golden token? Let's put it this way, who are you to comment on me? You're just a second-generation rich kid, without your dad, what are you worth? Get out of here! I'm too lazy to bother with you! Watch out or I'll use the imperial edict to smash you, you dog!"

  In the end, Li Xie burst into a torrent of abuse!

  Li Xie was already unhappy with Larry's harassment, and this guy dared to say something about telling Mercedes-Benz 7th generation, and even dared to come and mock Li Xie for relying on the tiger's prestige.

  Li Xie's fox borrows the tiger's might, what can be said about Nala?

  Of course, Li Xie's outburst was also motivated by jealousy!

  Why is it that he, Li Xie, is an orphan who was picked up from the trash and raised by a scavenger, and has to follow him around? Why is it that Lari Pan's son was born with a golden key in his mouth, wanting gold and getting gold, wanting girls and getting girls?

  The envy of eating fruit!

  Scolded to the point of being covered in dog blood, Larry Panson didn't get angry but instead smiled: "Good! I won't use my family's name today! Li Xie! I challenge you with my own name, Larry Panson. Do you dare accept with your own name, Li Xie?"

  "A duel?" This struck a sore spot for Li Xie. For now, he was good at bragging or pretending to be fierce, but when it came to actual fighting, he was no good! His strength was even weaker than that of an ordinary person. Fighting with someone wasn't just asking for trouble? He quickly asked in a low voice the person beside him, Kano: "What are the rules of a duel?"

  "Sir, a duel is sacred. As long as the two parties have equal status and strength, if one party proposes a duel and the other does not accept, they will be ridiculed. If they agree to a duel, they must first make a vow and clearly state how they will handle the outcome. Sir, Lari Panson is a 4th-tier summoner, while you... Moreover, a duel requires a witness, and the witness must have higher status or greater strength than both parties! There is no one here with higher status than yours, so this duel is invalid. You can refuse, sir, without being ridiculed."

  Go, say I'm no match for them, just say it straight, why beat around the bush and speak so euphemistically. We're not some self-righteous young people who get all riled up and hot-blooded at the slightest provocation.

  "I refuse!" Li Xie said resolutely, even if it meant being ridiculed by others. Why bother fighting when you're clearly no match? Moreover, since there was no witness to the duel, he had all the more reason to refuse. However, refusing also required some finesse, so Li Xie scratched his ear and said: "As a baron with status and position, not to mention holding the emperor's golden token, one must be mindful of their identity. If I were to accept every challenge that comes my way, wouldn't that make me no better than any old thing? It doesn't matter to me personally, but with the emperor's token on my person, I must consider what kind of opponent is worthy of a duel!"

  Lari's eyes widened and his fists clenched as he furiously exclaimed: "You say I'm a thing!"

  "No way." Li Yao wagged his index finger: "You're nothing."

  "How dare you say I'm nothing!"

  Li Ye shrugged: "Okay, since you insist, you win."

  "You!"

  Lari was enraged by Li Xie's words, and with a "hiss", the long sword at his waist was drawn out, ready to take action!

  Kano walked up to Li Xie's front, his mouth corners raised, and a fierce glint in his eyes!

  Dare to lay a hand on His Excellency, the wicked Earl, and Cano would dare to kill this youngest son of the Marquis of Pansent!

  At two meters twenty in height, with a ferocious gaze, Kano appeared on stage and immediately intimidated Lari Panson. Although furious, Lari Panson had not completely lost his mind, even without Kano, he did not dare to hit Li Xie unless it was a fair duel; otherwise, Mercedes VII would not spare him? Moreover, with Kano, the sixth-level sword saint present, Lari Panson's strength was really not worth mentioning!

  "Master, let your servant take care of this for you!" Yukain stepped forward in front of Lari Panson.

  Yuca appeared, and Larry's heart finally calmed down. He sneered, "Earl Eber doesn't dare to accept my duel, I wonder if your servant also dares not to accept a duel with my servant?"

  Another duel?

  What's with this outfit, is it popular in every parallel universe?

  Li Xie's belly was full of sarcastic remarks, but his expression remained calm and collected. He wagged his index finger: "You don't have the qualifications to duel with me, what qualifications does your servant have? What is he even considered? My family's Kano is a viscount! Good grief, in this day and age, how can there be so many arrogant people who don't even know their own status?"

  Here is the East again!

  Lari? Pan's eyes were filled with blood, but he couldn't do anything about Li Xie!

  In terms of status, Yukaen indeed does not have the qualifications to duel with Kano! Lari originally wanted to provoke Li Xie, but unexpectedly, this evil earl doesn't fall for it! Always putting on a pretentious front!

  "Let me go duel, it's fine!" Kano raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, his cold gaze staring straight at Yukain.

  Li's eyebrows furrowed: "Kano, you should understand what I mean!"

  Li Xie didn't let Kano duel, not because of the identity issue, but because Li Xie knew that Kano had no magical pet! He is now just a sixth-order sword saint! Although Yukain is only a fifth-order summoner, the strength of the summoner is stronger than that of the sword saint! A fifth-order summoner can even rival a seventh-order sword saint, and for a sixth-order sword saint, a fifth-order summoner can be said to have won completely!

  Kano turned back with a grateful gaze, and his mouth corners rose higher and higher, somewhat wildly: "Sir, Kano understands your concerns! However, Kano has been in the military since childhood, and all he has learned is through blood and sweat, not like those summoners who advance for the sake of advancing! What about being a fifth-tier summoner? Sir, believe in Kano! Kano won't let you down!"

  Looking at Kano's two-meter-twenty figure like a small mountain, Li Xie can feel a sense of tension from this back, that is confidence!

  "Alright!" Li Ye's gaze locked onto Lali: "My family's Kano will have a duel with your servant! Do you dare or not?"

  "What's there to be afraid of!" Larry sneered. What if he had been a soldier since childhood? Without a magical pet, relying solely on his physical body and iron sword, a sixth-tier Sword Saint couldn't defeat a fifth-tier Summoner! This was common knowledge in the Gods' Continent!

  "Then let's make it interesting." Li Xie said: "I'll be the witness, this duel will end with either surrender or death! The loser has to pay the winner one hundred fifth-tier adult magical beasts. If Kano loses, I'll pay for him. What about your servant if he loses?"

  "On me!"

  "Talk is cheap! Put it in writing! Digges, go get paper and pen!"

  Both sides stood firm, signed and stamped, a duel officially began! The stakes were probably the highest in the history of the Tudor dynasty among noble sons!

  One hundred fifth-tier adult magical beasts, converted into gold coins, would probably be worth five million!

  Kano's waist held a two-meter-long great sword with a width of two palms, the tip of which was stuck to the ground and sank three inches.

  Yukain stood ten meters away, holding a three-foot-long fine sword. His contracted beast was also released from the pet space, a one-meter-long emerald green venomous snake, which was a sixth-grade magical beast, Jade Ring Snake, coiled around Yukain's left hand!

  The level of the summoner is based on his own level, for example, a fifth-level summoner means that he is at least a fifth-level sword saint or magician who has a pet above the fifth level! Even if he has a tenth-level pet, his own level is only at the fifth level and can only be counted as a fifth-level summoner! And if a fifth-level sword saint or magician has pets below their own level, they are not considered summoners!

  But if one can summon a magical pet of level 10 or above, regardless of their own level, they are considered legendary! However, having a magical pet with a higher level than oneself is not common, and having a magical pet that exceeds one's own level by more than two levels is almost unheard of!

  Yukaen has a sixth-tier magical pet, and in reality, his strength is at a high level even among fifth-tier summoners!

  "Let's start!"

  Far away, Li Ye shouted and stood with Larry Panson, watching from a distance.

  Li Xie's face wore a smile, but in reality his heart was racing with anxiety. Just now he had been infected by Kano's confidence and for some reason firmly believed that Kano would win. But after calming down, Li Xie finally realized that Kano's chances of winning were extremely small! That was a bet of one hundred fifth-tier demonic pets! This guy's mind had already started calculating, if they lost, how to trick the one hundred fifth-tier demonic pets away, going to ask Mercedes Seventh for help to compensate would definitely not work, must directly make him angry to death!

  Lari? Panson was all smiles, losing? He didn't think so! A fifth-tier Sword Saint plus a fifth-tier Demon Pet could defeat a sixth-tier Sword Saint, let alone a sixth-tier Demon Pet! Earl Evil, Earl Evil, from now on you will be infamous! Lari? Panson was not only pleased but also delighted! He didn't think Earl Evil could afford to lose 100 fifth-tier Demon Pets. Later, having lost credibility and being burdened with huge debts, Earl Evil would become a joke in the Imperial City! Although he already was one now!

  "Cheers!"

  Kano took a deep breath, and his aura suddenly changed. Originally cruel and violent, he was now even more ferocious. His body seemed to be emitting an invisible gas that was rising up, causing his clothes to move without wind, and the sand dust at his feet to be blown away!

  Only a tenth-level Sword Saint can release their aura externally, forming a protective shield like an aurora. Those below the tenth level have their aura hidden within their body, bursting out through skills. But Kano, this sixth-level Sword Saint, somehow has signs of releasing his aura externally!

  "The earth splits!"

  Kano took the lead in attacking, his two hands grasping the sword, swinging from bottom to top, the giant sword scraping the ground, cutting out a semicircle! Then, the sound of rumbling on the ground was continuous, and a crack about two palms wide opened from the place where the sword tip touched the ground. The crack extended forward, and there was a faint golden light emanating from it, instantly arriving at Yuka's feet!

  Another deafening sound, and a fissure suddenly opened beneath Yuka's feet, spewing out a one-meter-long cone of golden light! Just looking at it was enough to make Yuka's eyes see through.

  Yu Ka was shocked, his feet stomped the ground, and he jumped up to a height of over 10 meters, his figure appeared in the sunlight, making it impossible for people to look directly at him!

  "Poison Dragon Drill!"

  A black figure shot out from the sunlight, charging straight at Kano's chest. Kano narrowed his eyes, a slight smile on his lips, and held up his massive sword horizontally in front of him with both hands supporting it.

  Clang!

  The black shadow turned out to be that one-meter-long Emerald Tree Boa!

  The snake's mouth opened at an angle of one hundred and eighty degrees, and it crashed into the giant sword!

  The enormous force actually caused Cardno's 2.2-meter-tall body to continuously retreat, his feet scraping two 2-meter-long marks on the ground!

  Although Yu Huan's snake body was slender and small, its strength was clearly not to be underestimated, worthy of being a sixth-grade demon pet!

  Finally stabilizing his figure, Kano's eyes snapped open, ready to launch a difficult attack, but another black shadow had already appeared in front of him - it was Yukain!
