Magic Industrial Age

Fourth-tier Calamity-ranked individuals naturally possessed formidable strength. Their attribute-based battle qi, robust physiques, and various powerful combat skills far surpassed the limits achievable by third-tier practitioners.

However, that depended on whom they were compared to!

Luo Yi had fought against Calamity-ranked opponents more than once or twice. His understanding of the capabilities and limitations of fourth-tier experts was even more profound than that of the fourth-tier experts themselves.

He was well aware that even a Calamity-ranked powerhouse would bleed from a sword wound and sustain a hole from a gunshot.

Opening a gash in their heart or neck would certainly spell their doom.

Therefore, he didn't even need to resort to many tricks. Relying on his exceptional reflexes, exquisite swordsmanship, and the unparalleled sharpness of the Silver Angel Rapier, he used speed to overwhelm Ignatius, forcing him to retreat.

However, this was still a street. After retreating dozens of steps, Ignatius found his back against a wall.

Yet, Ignatius remained unfazed. He leaned against the wall, causing bricks and stones to fly and dust to fill the air.

His figure disappeared into the dust, clearly intending to use it to obstruct Luo Yi's attacks. However, Luo Yi had no intention of rushing into the dust cloud.

He stood outside, raised his left hand, and the flame gun began to charge, its magic runes lighting up layer by layer.

Finally, Luo Yi unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.

Boom!

The gunshot was like a thunderclap. Amidst the billowing smoke, a muffled groan was heard.

A massive earth spike suddenly rose, piercing through the roof. Standing atop it was a figure.

Ignatius's expression held three parts fear, three parts disbelief, and the rest was pure anger.

He lowered his head slightly, looking at his chest, where a dented pit had appeared on his once-gleaming silver breastplate.

It didn't look deep, but a bullet was still stubbornly spinning inside, generating heat from the friction.

Only because his knightly plate armor was not ordinary, meticulously crafted by dwarven blacksmiths and further enchanted by alchemical masters, was it able to withstand this armor-piercing bullet.

Even so, Ignatius rarely felt such a palpable threat of death.

He looked up at Luo Yi again, his eyes becoming incredibly cold: "It's rare to see a third-tier with your strength.

However, I'll show you why the fourth tier is called Calamity."

Before his voice faded, a dark yellow battle qi erupted around him. Beneath him, the earth writhed and formed a magnificent warhorse that neighed towards the sky.

Then, it began to gallop wildly.

The greatsword in his hand gathered tangible battle qi, extending inch by inch until it formed an unparalleled battle qi lance.

Then, from above, the knight charged, as if to pin Luo Yi directly to the ground.

Of course, what surprised Luo Yi even more was that with this movement, it felt as if infinite gravity surged from all directions.

It forced Luo Yi to be unable to move, and could only withstand the attack head-on.

Luo Yi's eyes shifted, and he surprisingly showed no intention of dodging. He knelt on one knee, sheathed his rapier, and stood it on the ground.

He made a praying gesture, and a golden-red battle qi suddenly burst out, solidified, and transformed into a real-looking tower shield, standing in front of him.

Bang!

A crisp cracking sound rang out. Ignatius's battle qi lance shattered completely. The warhorse raised its front hooves high, emitting a 'whinnying' cry.

Of course, Luo Yi didn't fare well either. Taking the knight's charge head-on, his 'Saint Mark Shield' directly exploded.

The powerful impact propelled him backward, breaking through two walls in succession before stopping, then being buried by the collapsed house walls.

However, in just one or two breaths, golden-red battle qi surged, rubble flew, and he stood up from the ruins.

However, there was no doubt about his disheveled appearance at this moment. Even the steps he took forward with the rapier were crooked and erratic.

"Overestimating yourself!"

This was Ignatius's evaluation.

But just as he prepared to raise his knightly greatsword again to kill Luo Yi, Luo Yi's hoarse and stifled voice came:

"That, that, if you waste any more time here, I'm afraid the person will really escape!"

As he spoke, he raised his rapier and pointed into the distance.

Ignatius looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that Ang's back was already disappearing into the distance.

With the cover of the night, plus wearing black clothes, running far away, he was barely visible.

At this moment, Ignatius's expression froze. He could no longer care about Luo Yi. Battle qi erupted around him, transforming into a ball of light again, and flew through the air.

However, before leaving, he still hurled a battle qi slash towards Luo Yi.

This battle qi slash seemed to have no grand momentum, but the crystal-clear crescent blade was like reality, arriving in the blink of an eye.

In Ignatius's mind, this strike would surely take Luo Yi's life!

After all, the current Luo Yi was already seriously injured.

But not long after he left, Luo Yi moved, casually dodging the battle qi slash, showing no signs of injury at all.

However, Luo Yi's movements didn't stop!

He leaped into the air, his footsteps continuous, crushing several eagle phantoms. Amidst the continuous eagle cries, he had already leaped into the air, and his speed was getting faster and faster!

The rapier in his hand was drawn again, loosening and tightening, buzzing and vibrating, and Mach rings rose layer by layer.

Even more golden-red battle qi wrapped around him, turning him into a training, piercing towards a certain place in the void.

There, there was originally nothing, but when the sword light approached, a curved blade suddenly slashed out from the void.

Dark and heavy battle qi wrapped around it, inconspicuous in the night, but the desolation and coldness it emitted seemed to freeze the soul.

Ding!

Sword light and curved blade collided in the void, sparks flying.

In the next instant, the rapier flickered, bringing up layers of silvery-white sword light, drawing across continuous 'V' shapes.

The overlapping knife lights, on the other hand, were afterimages, as if transformed into dozens or hundreds, and all were real.

Thus, the sword light and knife light intertwined again, entangled, accompanied by the 'ding-ding-dang-dang' sound of metal clashing, as if it were a piece of music.

Until the end, a low shout came, all the knife lights converged, transformed into a huge black knife several feet long, and slashed down head-on.

Luo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. He was in mid-air, but he didn't give in at all. Battle qi suddenly erupted, bloomed, and gathered on the rapier.

Then, he slashed horizontally again, and a golden-red battle qi slash that was as crystal clear as reality was slashed out.

This time, the two battle qi slashes collided in mid-air, seeming to be deadlocked for a moment, and then shattered, and the shock waves spread outward.

This time, Luo Yi used the shock wave to retreat quickly, his figure like a falling feather, fluttering, and arrived a hundred meters away, standing on the roof.

And in that void, the same figure appeared.

He held a curved blade in one hand, and drew a line in front of him with the other, and swung away the shock wave.

Under his feet, there seemed to be dark and heavy battle qi churning, like a bird with wings, holding him still in mid-air.

This one was the great pirate on the endless ocean, Viscount Bernardo.

He stared at Luo Yi, and then looked at the curved blade in his hand, his expression very dignified: "Although you are not a fourth-tier natural disaster, your strength is definitely not as unbearable as you just showed.

So, are you trying to lure Ignatius into a trap?"

Luo Yi also looked up at him, his voice no longer the previous disguise, but became calm and indifferent: "Your body's battle qi, seemingly belonging to the dark system, can freeze the soul. In my opinion, it is more related to the underworld.

So, you are neither a believer in demons, nor have you made a deal with the devil, but a spokesperson for the underworld!"

"I just don't know which god of death you believe in?"

"However, as far as I know, the relationship between any god of death and the Lord of Light is not very good.

So, do you really dare to fully attack in this Bremen city?"

Sir Bernardo's expression froze, but in the next second, he raised his head again, his face full of arrogance.

"I come when I want, and leave when I want, who can stop me?

Even if a legend takes action, I can just drive a boat and wander on the endless ocean, can he still catch up?

On the contrary, if you really kill Ignatius, I'm afraid you don't know how big a hole you've poked!"

Luo Yi showed that he didn't care: "We came here hidden, completed the task, and then left directly.

Even if we poked a big hole in the sky, who knows who we are?"

"On the contrary, you are probably a well-known figure, and no matter whether you participated or not, someone will always stare at you!"

"It's not easy to kill you on the sea, but chasing you, that day will not be easy?"

At this moment, Viscount Bernardo's face was really ugly.

He stared at Luo Yi with a gloomy face, and after a long pause, he said: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Luo Yi grinned: "I don't care about the others, we just want Ignatius's life!

So, don't follow, otherwise, I should fight with you to the death!"

Saying so, Luo Yi directly opened the [Lion King Duke], although there are no lion knights here, the secretion of strange substances, integrated into the blood, for the battle qi carrying, is an exponential increase.

Luo Yi's golden-red battle qi shone brightly, and then a sword was slashed out, and the battle qi slash had already passed through the air.

Sir Bernardo's reaction was not slow, and he also raised his curved blade and slashed out a dark battle qi slash.

Only this time, what he didn't expect was that his fourth-tier battle qi was crushed by the opponent's battle qi slash, and then cut through.

Forcing him to slash out two more battle qi slashes, which completely offset it.

But the shock wave still made his figure retreat, and he stood firm a hundred meters away.

At this moment, his expression was really wonderful!

It turned out that the other party not only didn't use all his strength when fighting Ignatius; even when fighting him, he was only slightly serious.

Looking up again, Luo Yi's figure had disappeared.

But he stood in mid-air, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not continue to follow.

It was also at this time that two more figures fell to his side, it was his two subordinates, two third-tier transcendent powerhouses.

With this lineup, it is not comparable to the Silver Sea Pirates, and the strength gap is like a chasm.

Among these two people, there is a middle-aged man with red hair, dressed as a swordsman, he looked at his boss and couldn't help but ask: "Captain, are we not chasing?

That angel skeleton is still lost!"

Viscount Bernardo tilted his head slightly to look at him and asked, "Was the angel skeleton lost in my hands or in the hands of the Eisel family?"

"That is naturally in the hands of the Eisel family!"

"So, the transaction has been completed, it's lost, it's none of my business!"

Speaking, he had already turned around and said, "Let's go, we should go back too!

This Bremen city is about to be in chaos, we should get away early."

"We're leaving now?"

"Of course, before that, some accounts still have to be collected, and not a penny can be less!

That is, this Eisel family is afraid that they can no longer be contacted!"
