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 Sanshan Fortress in just a few seconds, and arrived at a position about five kilometers above Mykrov Continent. .

At this time, Israel's body was covered with substantial life energy, and his fighting energy condensed into a black and gold armor. He arrived in the area selected by both parties earlier than Joshua, but did not make a move first. His Majesty the Emperor folded his hands on his chest, his eyes calmly looked directly at the soldier, expressing the arrogance of'however you do it'.

And the aura and pressure as if the sky and the earth are breaking, just like a falling mountain, it is straight down towards Joshua, but the warrior is not shaken. If the aura of the legendary powerhouse seems to be the catastrophe of the world, then he is now. It is a piece of iron stone that has been forged and tempered.

　　 indestructible.

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

Charge is the basic of the basics. Even ordinary fighters without vindictiveness can skillfully use the skills, but under the power of Joshua, this simple action is made, and the air is punched through, and the surrounding towers are thousands of meters away. The top of the cumulonimbus cloud was like a sand castle in a storm, completely blown away by the aftermath of his steps.

In a blink of an eye, the soldier could be seen crossing a distance of hundreds of meters and arrived in front of Israel, and a solid beam of high-temperature fighting energy was one step ahead of his body and enveloped the entire body of the emperor. , And Qiao Xiuya also held the Great Sword of Divine Machine and cut it towards the opponent without hesitation.

　　 This time for revenge, Joshua didn't call Rin who was still dealing with official duties. He only brought Hotaru. In the face of the legendary powerhouse, the warrior has no psychological pressure with weapons, even if the opponent is empty-handed.

"it is good!"

In Israel’s eyes, it seemed that what came charging was not a human being, but a meteorite tearing through the sky. The big sword larger than a human body seemed to be out of order, slashing in an extensive and domineering manner. There are vertical splits, reverse slashes, as well as thrusts and horizontal cuts. The silver blade traverses fatal straight lines and arcs. The strength of each blow is meticulous, and the steel is soft and changeable.

With the power of Joshua and the quality of the giant sword, every random slash can easily reach ten times the speed of sound, bringing hundreds of tons of instantaneous impact, attacking with this power, let alone being a creature of flesh and blood. , Even steel structures and deep-sea monsters that are hundreds of meters high must be chopped into shards of flesh and blood. Ordinary weapons cannot withstand this load at all. They will shatter in an instant, and there are only strengthened gods. The machine can withstand it.

Facing the fierce attack like Joshua's meteorite crash, Israel could not take it casually. Facing the black and red sword flame that he had swallowed almost at his waist, his eyes condensed, and the substantive fighting spirit covered his hands. Go up, and then plunge into it without hesitation.

The high-temperature vindictiveness was dissipated, the sound of steel humming sounded, and the indestructible divine machine giant sword was unexpectedly blocked. Israel showed his incredible skills and blocked every attack of the warrior from the front. A blast of thunder sounded in the sky, making the people of the bottom imperial capital doubt whether it was real thunder.

The legendary powerhouse did not attack, but condensed the materialized fighting energy into a two-handed armor, and then no matter how Joshua attacked, he would insist on one by one, but even so, the heavy and incomparable counter-shock force passed through the divine machine sword. , Passed to the soldiers' hands.

This time, Israel did not retain his power, nor did he suppress his power to the extreme state. Every time he counter-shocked, it was a genuine blow with legendary power, and Joshua cut out in an instant and indirectly. Thousands of times, not only didn't gain 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 energy to speak, expressing his appreciation. He naturally noticed the weakness of the warrior, and then slightly forward, a straight fist hit the center of Joshua's chest.

　　 This blow was quicker than lightning. The sun-like golden vindictive agitated, causing the sky to glow thousands of meters high, and the wind crushed the clouds, bringing down a torrential rain for the imperial capital. Israel didn't keep much hands, but kept it as far as possible not to kill him. If he really hits, even Joshua will instantly lose his combat effectiveness.

But the warrior was not panicked. Joshua's thoughts flashed in his mind, his eyes narrowed, and then the big sword in his hand dropped out and slashed toward Israel's waist, while his arms were twisted horizontally, like a steel rolling machine. Strike the opponent's arm directly.

He had anticipated this scene a long time ago-how strong the legendary powerhouse is, Joshua knew well that his attack would be blocked, it was reasonable, even with a handy weapon, facing the emperor. Naturally, with this punch of his, he also used his full strength, the boiling life energy flowed through every minute part of the 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 nearly a hundred trillion cells, but an extraordinary life composed of life energy as a whole.

The strength of the two arms of the strong victory of steel gathered, and the energy of the whole body rose as soon as it was collected. I saw Israel punching, and the moment the fist arm touched, the explosive air current and impact completely blown away the clouds within a kilometer radius, and it is the capital of the imperial capital. Brings a strong wind. Residents who had just gotten up in the early morning experienced heavy rains and strong winds within a few seconds of seeing the sunlight, and the astronomical changes were so severe that they even caused a panic.

　　The strength of the warrior was minimal, and Israel naturally did the same. Joshua threw the sword to his waist, and struck straight punches with his arms. If it were ordinary people, he would be in a hurry, but this method could not stop him. Israel didn't even stop the offensive. He just turned sideways a little, avoiding the magic sword, then closed his fist and changed his elbow, broke through the defense of his arms, and leaned forward to the warrior.

This lean contains the solid vigor of rapid shaking. Even the mountain peaks made of diamonds will be completely knocked out of a big hole. The flesh and blood body will be easily scraped into fleshy mud, layered layers of terrifying life energy flow. Repelling all the surrounding elemental magic powers, time and space were temporarily closed, and even the magic circle in the Three Mountains Fortress of the Imperial Capital was out of control for a moment.

　　 dodge, or hard-wired.

Of course, Joshua would not be stupid enough to take this blow that could smash the dragon into fleshy flesh. He was militant and not stupid. The fighters simply scattered his hands and tried hard, and then used Israel to grudge. The turbulent energy flow avoided the sharp edge of the blow, and then followed the aftermath to the opponent's side, and caught the magic sword that hit the air, but even the aftermath easily tore the warrior's outer layer. Fighting defense, bringing out white marks on his body.

　　 With ten fingers holding the sword, another step, Joshua rushed forward again and slashed towards the Emperor.

This blow is completely different from the previous one thousand blows. In the face of the endless chaotic army and the mad dragon army, the more attacks, the better, and the more even the strength, the better, but in the face of the strong who surpassed oneself, that Of course, it only makes sense to use every bit of one's own strength, even super-level performance.

With a spit of hot steam out of his mouth, Joshua’s body seemed to be a high-speed fusion hearth. The strength of vindictiveness and muscles coordinated and resonated, and then exploded at the same time. The black and red energy was introduced into the silver sword, turning it into a red crystal. The color of this sword was cut down, and only a trivial aftermath rolled up a tornado storm at an altitude of one thousand meters.

　　 At this moment, he has used countless techniques and amplitude skills, and his life can be surging like a tide, causing the void to crack.

　　Even Israel felt a tingling pain from the skin under the vindictive armor, and the smell of burning steel from the tip of his nose, which meant that if Joshua was allowed to compact it, even he would be injured. I was amazed at how accurate Joshua’s power was and how terrifying his vindictive air was. His majesty couldn’t help but laugh, but after that, a golden light flashed in his pupils and he began to respond seriously. Attack of the fighters.

　　——In order to prevent the aftermath of the battle from spreading to the masses in the imperial capital, he could not keep his hands. If the power of Joshua’s sword is split in the imperial capital, the northwestern half of the city will be chopped in half. The heat surpassing the high temperature of the sun’s surface will instantly ignite a fire that spreads across the entire city. Elsewhere, mountain peaks are cut up and rivers are cut off.

　　 Make a fist, Israel's solemn concentration of strength.

　　 Fighting Qi is the force of life, the tributary of the force of steel that derives all things.

The so-called legend means that it crosses the boundary between the essence of life and the origin of the world. The essence of fighting spirit is not limited to the power of life, but can freely transform between mass and energy. This is the gold that embodies the essence of oneself and breaks through the individual's ultimate intention. Things that can't be done.

　　 His Majesty’s right fist, there were unprecedented ripples, and fragments of the world began to appear, surrounding him, around his arm, the mighty waves and the mighty tsunami came, and then condensed into one point.

　　 immediately, there was a punch.

This fist blasted straight towards Joshua’s big sword, without hesitation, Israel’s fist was like a dragon-killing spear, with the idea of ​​penetrating everything, the illusory will at this moment , Was turned into substance by the vindictiveness, so that the soldiers could see that it was indeed the emperor's majesty holding a lance, and stabbing him decisively.

　　 fist sword handover.

　　 An instant later, the air rippled.

　　 The path of the light was all refracted by the violently fluctuating air and blood fog, and a figure flew out upside down, like a bolide, so that the entire imperial capital crowd could clearly see it. Since there were almost no obstructions in the sky, he flew for a few kilometers before stopping.

After stabilizing his figure, Qiao Xiu exhaled a deep breath of blood. He still clenched the big sword in his hands with ten fingers, but the muscles and blood vessels in his arms were affected by the huge force reflex. It burst open, dripping bit by bit.

　　 But while breathing, blood flows back, muscles move, blood vessels close together, nerves and slightly dislocated joints are restored in an instant.

　　 At the same place, Israel frowned and looked at his split vindictive gauntlet, the right fist that had exposed its bones, and even saw a trace of fragmentation, and then laughed again.

"Impressive."

　　 He nodded and muttered to himself in admiration: "Originally thought that blocking the Ember Earth Long Sword was just because the red dragon was not well controlled and did not fight the truth. Now it seems that it is his own power."

　　 His Majesty the Emperor did not go anywhere else, he stayed in place, and then spread the vindictive armor, revealing the underwear that followed, and a few seconds later, a flash of light flashed, and Joshua returned here.

　　 "How do you want to continue to challenge?"

Israel moved his right fist, which was intact. He looked sideways at the soldier, nodded, and expressed his approval: "You are a little stronger than I guessed. I originally thought this blow could beat you into Severe injuries, let you stop for so many months."

"Almost." Qiao Xiuya also retracted the big sword. After a flash of magical power, he held Ying and came to the front of the emperor. He said with some regret: "I originally thought I could still have a little resistance, no When you think of a few, you will be beaten by your majesty."

After hearing these words, Israel looked strange. Although he didn't wear armor or weapons this time, he basically dealt with Joshua empty-handed, but the punch was serious, even those legendary. The five-color dragon was unwilling to take it hard, but Qiao Xiu slashed with a sword. The condensed fighting energy split more than 90% of his fist strength, and also broke his fighting energy armor and physical defenses. The whole person was even more fisted. Li flew out, avoiding the counter-shock force that could bombard the hills into flat ground.

　　 This technique is no less than the legendary powerhouse. This is called no resistance, so what is resistance? Kill him?

At this time, there is no need to continue to fight. Joshua knows that if he has not reached the legend, it is basically impossible to fight other legends. The disadvantage of a few rounds represents complete suppression, the span between Ji Yi and legend. Bigger than Jin and Jiyi, there is no such thing as a leapfrog challenge in this world. No matter how much you think, it is better to improve your strength as soon as possible.

　　 While in Qiao Xiuya's arms, Hotaru looked a little dizzy, and he didn't know if it was dizziness due to the back shock, or for other reasons.

Israel sorted out his nightgown. After he noticed that Joshua's power broke out, he ran out of the dormitory directly. He looked down at the ruins of Feltao's house, and then sighed: "The battles between the nobles of the imperial capital and the nobles basically took place between the agents, because the blood of the family was involved, and it was revenge that would never give up. Although it was somewhat ruthless, with the danger of life, the agents who supported them also got what they wanted. Something you want."

　　 "Money, power, status, and opportunities to become aristocrats, just in this matter, this is a fair deal."

Turning his head and looking at Joshua, His Majesty said calmly: "Your anger, I can understand, but this is the order of this world. You are stronger than Feltau and Suward, so you can ignore it. Kill them, but now you are not as strong as me, you must be punished."

"Ok."

Nodded simply, Joshua didn’t hesitate. He had known for a long time how serious it was to kill in the capital, but the nobles. This is equivalent to saying that direct hitting Israel in the face would make the emperor. His majesty has been questioned, but now that he is ready to shoot, he is also ready to accept punishment.

"starting today."

Turning his head, glanced at the three-mountain formation that was breached, Israel shook his head: "You will stay in the Northland, and you will be banned for a full year. There is no special situation and you are not allowed to go out. Fertao and Suward's family. This is the end of the matter."

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

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

"Do you still want heavier?" On the contrary, Israel was a little inexplicable: "You are the strongest, the patriarch of the Radcliffe family, and your father is my firm supporter and the most firm emperor. Dang, you killed a few hostile noble children for revenge... I taught you that you shot in the imperial capital and didn't abide by my rules. If in the wilderness, what does the family feud of your nobles have to do with the royal family?"

　　 This partiality is a bit too much. Qiao Xiu said his thoughts honestly, and he himself felt a little weird. The soldier was mentally prepared to be severely wounded and sent back to the Northland before rushing to the imperial capital.

　　Israel didn't care.

"Punish a genius who can become a legend in the future?" He said ironically, "Just for this little thing? I might as well find another excuse, such as your intention to rebel... You know, you just waved at me. Sword."

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

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

　　 Israel lowered his head and looked down from a height, looking at the Morlai Palace in the center of the imperial capital. His tone was flat, as if he was not saying: "Ten years, 20 years? No, this is too extravagant, I think it's even only five or six years. In short, my life keeps passing by, and in the past ten years, Death is a visible countdown."

"In the entire empire, there are not many people who can believe. Teacher Nostradamus is already old. He might die before me. This stinky old man has no desire to break through the legend. He wants to teach him wholeheartedly. More good students will become the pillars of the empire, and I cannot count on him."

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

"But he doesn't understand. It's not enough for this world to have pillars. You need a pillar that can support the entire hall on your own to keep the entire empire from falling. Without the power of legend, no matter how huge a unified 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 it felt extremely unbelievable: "To be honest, your Majesty, we haven't seen it a few times, so you plan to In the future...I am not afraid of my ambitions?"

　　 "Ambition?" Israel snorted, as if he heard a joke: "How can a simple hungry wolf have any ambitions? Does it eat meat? There are so many powerful people in this world waiting for you to challenge. Would you care about an empire?"

　　 This is true. Joshua closed his mouth. He really didn't care about this at all. If he wanted the fighters to manage an empire, he might just leave the stall and travel to other worlds.

　　 "I really don't have ambitions." After thinking about it, Joshua said seriously: "But other people may not-the imperial royal family cannot 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 so, so he had already prepared the answer: "Then you think, why the imperial royal family can rule this powerhouse in large numbers? Empire for nearly a thousand years?"

　　The soldier said that he did not know ~www.novelmtl.com~ and His Majesty the Emperor did not answer directly. He said in a flat tone: "The Radcliffe family moved to the Northland more than four hundred years ago to guard the Sealed Land. No one can do this except for you, no one can do it-Dale The Mond family ruled this land in the same way. Even if other legendary powerhouses surpassed the royal family, they would not be able to replace us. At most, the royal family has been weak for a hundred years."

He didn't say more, but the disclosure of the information made Joshua frown, and Israel did not give the fighters time to think. He looked at the magical light flashing below, and turned to Joshua. "Okay, you will go back to the Northland now. In a few weeks, the natural teacher will personally lead the team. You must prepare for the interview. Pope Eagle will also look for you soon, although I don’t know why. But thinking about it is also a serious matter."

　　 "During this year's ban, prepare for the territory and prepare accordingly to deal with the impact of the black forest beasts."

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

　　 "Because the magic tide is coming."
