Chapter 93: Galloping Horse VS Broken Tiger

  Without the helmet to obstruct his view, Liu Yu also got a clear look at this member of the Farnese royal family. He had golden hair and blue eyes, with a high forehead and a high nose bridge, typical of a white person. Paired with his robust physique and being over twenty years old, he looked quite majestic.

  "Ah!" Seeing Darius bow to himself, Liu Yu was slightly stunned. This member of the Pharnacid royal family was indeed full of etiquette. Next, a hint of gloom flashed across Liu Yu's face as he clearly sensed that Digernes, who had just walked out not far away, was walking very slowly and stumbling, guessing that his injury was more severe than he thought.

  Liu Yu also took off his helmet, walked a few meters away and pulled out the "Golden Marrow Sword" that was inserted into the ground. He then picked up the torch that Di Qing had dropped and stuck it into the ground. Then he placed the long sword across his chest, holding his helmet and slightly bowed to Darius. This series of actions Liu Yu performed at a moderate pace, neither too fast nor too slow, showing respect without delaying time.

  Just now, when standing in front of Di Jian, Liu Yu clearly felt that the opponent had the strength of a six-stage Dou Shuai at the initial stage. After his last promotion failure, he spent more than four months of day and night hard work, not only breaking through the bottleneck of a six-stage Da Mo Dao Zhen, but also reaching the standard of a five-stage Dou Jiang later period.

  But facing this second-ranked god-level aura on the mainland of cultivation, the six-stage strongman of "Garolin Aura" was still a bit insufficient.

  Although his own magician level was already on par with the opponent, in the confrontation between magicians and fighters, under the same cultivation, fighters before the seventh stage had an obvious advantage. Because before high-level magic, the power of spells is not very large, and the time to chant spells is also very long. Once a fighter gets close to a magician, it's basically a death sentence for the magician.

  He is now only three to five meters away from Darius, and Liu Yu estimates that the few most powerful sixth-order spells he has just mastered will not be finished before Darius can send him into the arms of the Beast God with one sword.

  This battle can only rely on his own fifth-order Douzun's later cultivation and hard resistance against the opponent, no matter what he wants to give Di Geng more time to escape. Fortunately, Di Geng's strength is not bad, and in any case, he has consumed a lot of the opponent's Dou Qi.

  Liu Yu estimated that Darius's current strength should still be around 70-80%, not much stronger than himself. If he wanted to run away, the other side shouldn't be able to stop him.

  "Please!" Seeing Liu Yu also returned a polite greeting, Darius inserted the torch into the ground, put on his helmet and made an inviting gesture by extending his hand to Liu Yu.

  "Please!" Liu Yu had just brought up his head and returned a please, the words had just fallen when Darius took a step forward, his right hand holding the long sword shook slightly and raised it up, the sword tip with a hint of blue and green aura light directly aimed at Liu Yu's face.

  Darius held a long sword over one meter, paired with his height of about 1.8 meters, and almost as soon as he raised the sword, the tip was in front of Liu Yu's face. Liu Yu wanted to raise his sword to block it but couldn't react in time, so he had no choice but to take a step back with his foot and retreat three steps, opening up the distance between them.

  Darius's first strike missed, his long sword pointing directly at Liu Yu's momentum unabated, his footwork not slowing down one bit. Liu Yu had just retreated two steps, his back foot about to counterattack, but suddenly a ridge of earth over a meter high burst forth in front of him, coinciding with Darius's forward step, the ridge heading straight for his thigh root.

  "Hmm!" Darius was clearly unprepared for this, and his foot hesitated for a moment before he almost tripped over the thorns. But after all, he was a sixth-rank Battle Commander, and with one swift kick, he shattered the thorns at waist height. Before Darius could even react again, a lantern-sized fireball came flying towards him.

  "Hsss!" Darius struck the fireball with a single sword, dispersing it. This powerful magic couldn't harm him, but his pursuit of Liu Yu was also rendered ineffective.

  "Hmm!" Liu Yu let out a gentle breath, his face relaxed. The opponent's sudden attack was fortunate for him, as he now had the cultivation of a 6th-stage Great Demon Mage. He could cast first-stage fireball and earth-piercing spells with ease, their power greatly increased, which allowed him to hinder the opponent's offense.

  "This guy is just as despicable as me." Liu Yu muttered to himself, he didn't expect that this royal family member who was "civilized and polite" just a moment ago would resort to violence so quickly.

  It's not like the masters on TV, who make a pose before acting and exchange a few pleasantries. If that were the case, he would chat with him for a while longer, and by then Di Qing would have walked far away, and he could just slip away directly. But the other party didn't give him this opportunity at all.

  "Good, I didn't expect you to use the advantages of Huang Jin's dual cultivation with Mo Meng Wu so maturely." Darius' long sword hung down, his eyes fixed on Liu Yu, shining with a hint of endless battle intent.

  "Be careful then." Liu Yu replied in a cold voice, suddenly leaping forward. The "Golden Marrow Sword" emitted a dazzling golden light and instantly thrust out a sword towards the opponent. Since they had already taken action, there was no need to hold back, lest giving the opponent time to recover and wasting the fighting energy that could be used against Di Qing.

  Darius saw Liu Yu's sword coming, his body didn't move a single bit, the long sword in his hand immediately filled with cyan and blue aura, then his right hand swung sideways, intending to cut off Liu Yu's sword at the waist. But as soon as Darius' sword was raised, Liu Yu grasped the hilt of his sword upwards with his right hand, and the sword followed suit, lifting up and opening a distance between it and Darius' sword.

  Liu Yu, who had just leapt up more than half a meter off the ground, instantly grabbed the hilt of the "Golden Marrow Sword" with his left hand and, with both hands working together, struck downwards in a slanting blow that hit Darius's left shoulder. The long sword, which had just been raised to chest level by Darius, was completely unprepared for Liu Yu's sudden change in direction, and he could only stiffly withstand this attack.

  "Hong" represents the second continental divine-level Dou Qi "Jia Luo Lin Dou Qi"'s cyan and blue double-colored Dou Qi halo, and the third continental divine-level Dou Qi "Po Hu Dou Qi"'s golden halo, which merged together in an instant.

  A loud crash and a strong vibration of the surrounding air, Liu Yu flew backward like a bouncing ball for three to five meters, and retreated several steps before barely standing still.

  "Hmmph! ...." Liu Yu steadied himself, shook off the numbness in his palms, and smiled with a hint of complacency on his face, humming twice.

  Darius was still standing in the same place, but he was no longer standing upright. Instead, his long sword was stuck in the ground, with one hand grasping the hilt and the other gently wiping away the blood that had flowed from the corner of his mouth. It was clear that this blow had injured him severely, and when he looked at Liu Yu again, his eyes were filled with a few strands of shock and strangeness.

  Just now he swung his long sword sideways, just wanting to hit the opponent's long sword that was stabbed out. This kind of lateral movement is not suitable for using full force, and Liu Yu moved quickly, the previous move lost hand, he had not come up with the time to operate the fighting energy to the limit, did not resist with all his might.

  Furthermore, they wield the "Galeo Lin" of the Peiping family, a wind and thunder mixed fighting spirit that excels at speed and sharpness, but is not good at head-on confrontations.

  But Liu Yu's "Broken Hu Dou Qi" was a combination of earth fire and Dou Qi, and the land-based Dou Qi on the mainland were all known for their strength, so it was only natural that the earth-attribute "Broken Hu Dou Qi" would not be an exception.

  Furthermore, Liu Yu had been training his strength since he was in the Blood Refining Camp. As Ptolemy said earlier, after entering the military camp, as long as they were not marching or fighting, they would train their strength under the supervision of the officers every day. Over the past two years, Liu Yu could easily lift a stone block weighing about 1,600 pounds, which was close to one ton in weight.

  Adding Liu Yu's chopping from top to bottom, the borrowed force is also a great bonus.

  The advantages of Dou Qi's length, the strength of power, and the advantageous position, adding up to three major advantages, how could Darius withstand this blow without getting hurt.

  "Good, good, good. You're very skilled at utilizing your own advantages. I've been at a disadvantage in both of our exchanges." Darius slowly stood up, looking at Liu Yu with a hint of admiration.

  "How come it's your turn to delay now?" Liu Yu replied with a sarcastic smile.

  Darius's face showed a moment of embarrassment. However, this embarrassment was quickly replaced by tension, as Liu Yu took another step forward with his long sword, and the distance of three to five meters was instantly bridged.

  "Take advantage of others' illness to take their life" was Liu Yu's important principle in dealing with his opponents, and now he is again implementing this principle. The heavily injured Darius's movements were much slower, and as soon as he retreated a step, Liu Yu arrived in front of him.

  Liu Yu's long sword was raised and stabbed straight at the opponent's chest, with a distance of less than one meter between them. Darius had no way to avoid it. But what happened next was both familiar and astonishing to Liu Yu - Darius did not dodge, his own long sword stabbing towards his chest as well.

  After two clear collisions, Liu Yu's long sword pierced Darius' iron armor on his chest, and Darius' long sword also pierced the black leather armor outside Liu Yu's body, but neither of them could advance further.

  "Inside!" The two exclaimed in unison with a hint of surprise, one in the human common language and the other in beast language.
