I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 480 Shadow (twenty-two)

"The victory is decided, Kepa!" Saladin pointed the sword in his hand at Kepa, who was covering his wound, and said calmly.

But when he said this, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and when he saw the weird smile hanging on the corner of Kepa's mouth, his face suddenly became ugly.

"You, you..." Saladin's words became messy for a moment. He looked at the man in front of him who had been seriously injured with an unbelievable look, as if he was the one who had the upper hand at the moment.

"Hehehehe, you seem to have finally realized it, Saladin." Kepa sneered a few times before slowly standing up straight, "Twenty-eight years ago, you said the same thing to me in the same tone and posture, and

The wounds on my body at that time were no different from what they are now." Kepa's words undoubtedly made Saladin's face look even more ugly, and at the same time, it also shocked Bogosi and the others on the side.

"Hey, do you remember? Twenty-eight years ago, at the Phylician Empire's carnival in Stark City, we had our first fight." Kepa had already stood firm at this time, but he

He was not in a hurry to fight Saladin, but continued to look at Saladin who looked confused and surprised.

"Hmph, I already defeated you twenty-eight years ago.

No matter how much your strength improves and you cannot surpass yourself, I can still defeat you a second time." Although Saladin's tone was still very firm, his expression was no longer as calm as before, and instead looked a little uneasy.

"Really? So now let's see if you can really defeat me for the second time twenty-eight years later." Kepa said, turning the sword in his hand, and then his whole body was faster than before.

It was more than one level faster, and the sword in his hand was like a gust of wind swinging towards Saladin.

Facing Kepa's changes, Saladin was obviously not mentally prepared. In a hurry, Kepa attacked him with more than ten swords, and immediately fell into many dangers.

But Saladin is always Saladin, and the title of the Mercenary Kingdom's First Swordsman is not something he blows off.

Although he seemed a bit shaken by Kepa's sudden attack, his footwork and sword moves still showed no signs of disorder.

Although he was being pushed forward step by step, he was also looking for Kepa's flaws at the same time.

He wanted to do the same as the 28-year-old confrontation, find Kepa's momentary flaw and defeat him in one fell swoop.

And this time not only must we defeat him, but we must also completely kill the culprit who plunged the continent into war.

At this time, after barely parrying Kepa's three consecutive slashes, Saladin finally got the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Kepa's last slash is a top-down diagonal slash. After swinging the sword, Kepa will habitually take a small step ahead, so that there will be a momentary gap in his chest.

Just as Saladin expected, Kepa took a small step forward after delivering the final slash, and suddenly the defense on his chest showed the flaw he had expected.

At that moment, Saladin immediately shouted, raised the sword in his hand and thrust forward with lightning speed, intending to kill Kepa on the spot.

But just as he thrust out the sword, he suddenly saw a strange smile on Kepa's face...

Twenty-eight years ago, in Stark City, the capital of the Phylician Empire, this day was the only festival where Phylicians could put aside all their worries and indulge in carnival - the founding day of the Phylician Empire.

It's almost evening now, but the craze in the entire city has not subsided, especially the central arena in the city. Even if you are far away, you can still hear bursts of cheers coming from there from time to time.

In the center of the arena, a young man in his twenties was facing four burly men at the same time.

But at this moment, the man's face did look relaxed and contented, and he was blowing kisses to the girls in the stands who were shouting at him.

"You brat, don't be arrogant!" One of the big men holding a giant ax was obviously activated by the man's performance. He shouted to the other companions, "Guys, come together.

Let this brat see how strong we are!" After saying that, the four big men rushed towards the man from all sides.

Facing the combined attacks from his opponents, the man remained unmoved and kept the smile on his face.

When he saw that the weapons of the four people were about to fall on him, the big man in front of him was suddenly surprised to find that the man's figure suddenly disappeared.

Then there was only a cry of surprise from the audience. The big man immediately panicked, but before he could find the man's figure, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.

When he came to his senses, the hand holding the weapon had been cut by the man's sword, and the huge battle ax immediately fell to the ground.

At the same time, his other three companions also let out a cry almost at the same time. Like his, their hands holding weapons were all cut by swords. A moment later, there was a sound of falling weapons on the ground.

sound.

"I won." The man said to the four big men in a victorious tone.

Only then did they realize that the man's speed had completely exceeded the limit that their eyes could accept. This time they were completely defeated.

After saying that, the man ignored the four big men in front of him, turned around and walked to the center of the arena to salute the cheering audience around him.

But at this moment, the big man holding the giant ax actually took advantage of this moment, endured the severe pain in his wrist, picked up the tomahawk on the ground again, and quietly leaned from behind the man.

When he was still six or seven steps away from the man, he suddenly flew the tomahawk in his hand towards the man. This move immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the audience in the surrounding auditorium.

But just when they thought the man was about to be struck by the battle axe, the man suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and then suddenly raised the long sword on his shoulder.

After hearing a "bang" sound, he easily lifted the giant ax into the air.

And after the ax spun in the air a few times, it almost landed at the big man's nose and at his feet.

In panic, the big man stumbled and sat down on the ground, barely daring to breathe.

"Kepa! Kepa! Kepa!" At this moment, the entire audience was boiling, and everyone shouted the man's name, Kepa Guro, the third prince of the Phylician Empire.

Facing the cheers of the audience, Kepa also raised his sword in his hand to salute everyone, his face full of the confident smile of a winner.

"Is there anyone else, is there anyone who challenges me!" After a moment, Kepa shouted loudly towards the surroundings of the arena.

This was the fourth time he said this today. In the previous three times, he had completely made his opponent admit defeat within a few minutes.

In fact, Kepa originally only came to watch the game with his parents, but after watching only half of it, Kepa was completely unable to resist the pleasure that fighting in the arena brought to him.

After seeking the consent of his father, Kepa put aside his identity as a prince and jumped off the stands to join the battle below.

As a royal family member of the Phylician Empire, Kepa received strict training as soon as he became sensible. This is a must for all Phylicians, even the prince is absolutely no exception.

However, Kepa was born with supernatural power and intelligence, and he quickly stood out among all the children participating in the training.

At the age of ten, he was completely invincible among his peers. After the age of sixteen, he had few opponents in the entire Phylician Empire.

In the martial Phylician Empire, most people already believe that Kepa will successfully inherit the throne and become the next emperor of the Phylician Empire.

"No one will challenge again?" Kepa waited for a long time and still no one stood up to challenge him, so he shouted loudly around him again.

And just when everyone thought that no one would dare to challenge Kepa, a voice suddenly came from a corner of the audience: "Let me try." The voice was not loud, but

It still caught the ears of many Phylicians.

Soon, the arena became quiet again, and everyone's eyes turned to the direction from which the sound came.

At this time, a man dressed as a traveler slowly walked from the crowd to the edge of the auditorium, and then jumped down from the top with his left hand on the railing.

Kepa was stunned for a moment when he saw the new challenger, and then his face immediately regained its original confidence.

At this time, the challenger had walked less than 200 steps away from Kepa. He paused for a moment, then casually tore off his cloak, revealing his original appearance.

A young man about the same age as Kepa.

But unlike Kepa, there was no expression on his face, and it seemed as cold as ice.

"Are you the only one? You are so confident." Kepa looked at the young man and said.

"I have always been just one person." The young man looked up at Kepa and said coldly.

"Have courage.

Can you tell me your name? Unknown challenger." "A-level mercenary of the Mercenary Kingdom, Saladin." Saladin's voice was not loud, but it was just enough for Kepa to hear.

After hearing this name, Kepa couldn't help but frown, and then immediately laughed: "Interesting, he turns out to be the lone wolf of the Mercenary Kingdom.

I originally planned to have the opportunity to go to the Mercenary Kingdom to challenge you, but I didn't expect that I would be able to do so today." Saladin ignored Kepa's words and just silently took out the sword from his waist and looked at him.

Kepa, who discovered that the opponent had no intention of paying any attention to him, simply stopped talking nonsense, waved a sword and pointed the sword at Saladin.

For a moment, the entire arena fell into silence.

No one made even a sound. Everyone held their breath and looked at the two people in the center for fear of missing something.

The two men faced off in silence for a moment, when Kepa felt that the hands holding the sword were gradually sweating.

He already felt that he was completely unable to overwhelm his opponent in terms of momentum, and that person's strength was clearly not inferior to his own.

However, this undoubtedly aroused his competitive mentality. Kepa, who had no challenger in the entire empire for a long time, felt the feverish feeling of meeting an opponent for the first time.

At this time, Kepa shouted and planned to strike first.

I saw his figure move.

The whole person rushed in front of Saladin in a moment, and the hand in his hand was like a hurricane that ripped apart everything and rolled towards Saladin.

Facing Kepa's all-out attack, Saladin remained unmoved, with no change on his face.

When Kepa's sword fell, Saladin suddenly shook his right hand, and then raised the long sword in his hand upwards, defusing Kepa's attack cleanly.

However, Kepa naturally did not expect to be able to take advantage of Saladin in the first blow. After the first sword was deflected, he did not care at all. After quickly retracting his strength, he immediately thrust out the second sword again.

The third sword... And Saladin did not show any panic in the face of Kepa's violent attacks. The sword in his hand followed Kepa's offensive. Although he was unable to attack, Kepa could do nothing for him for a while.

.

The two people had executed hundreds of moves in a matter of seconds, and at the same time, the entire arena was in a state of excitement, with everyone cheering crazily for the two people's superb martial arts.

But unlike the cheers of the audience, Kepa was indeed getting more and more surprised at this time.

He had never encountered anyone with such strong toughness. He originally thought that no one could last more than five minutes under his full attack, but he didn't expect that he had already been fighting Saladin for almost thirty minutes, and his opponent's defense was still strong.

Indestructible.

What makes Kepa even more frightened is that Saladin still hasn't shed much sweat after the beating, but he is already sweating profusely.

Although Kepa still had the absolute upper hand in the eyes of others, he himself had realized that if he could no longer tear through Saladin's defense, he would definitely be the loser in the end.

Kepa, who was arrogant and arrogant, could never accept the result of failure. At this time, he simply put aside all considerations and waved the sword in his hand more and more crazily towards Saladin. He had to do it before his physical strength was exhausted.

Defeat this formidable opponent.

But the final outcome was decided when Kepa was impatient. In fact, Saladin was already feeling quite uncomfortable at that time.

Every time he blocked Kepa's slash, Saladin felt pain as if his tiger's mouth was about to burst at any moment, but he still silently waited for the opportunity.

He knew that Kepa's attack was absolutely domineering. Although he might not lose to the opponent, if there was a head-to-head confrontation, the result would probably be losses for both sides, so Saladin chose the strategy of avoiding the important and taking the easy.

Rely on solid defense to slowly wear down the opponent's energy and wait for the opponent to make mistakes.

But when he saw Kepa's desperate attack, Saladin finally realized that victory was about to be won.

At this time, Kepa was so crazy that he used his arm to block Saladin's sword counterattack, and then rushed to his side.

Then, with his hands already filled with fighting spirit, he turned around and swung the sword in his hands like a tsunami to slash across the area.

At this moment, Saladin has been forced into a corner by Kepa, and it seems that he is completely unable to move and avoid.

But what Saladin was waiting for was Kepa's full blow. The sword in his hand hit Kepa's sword at an angle.

After hearing a crisp metal collision, Kepa was surprised to find that his full blow was actually blocked by Saladin!
