Chapter 406, Page 404: A True Slap in the Face (Please Subscribe)

This meeting was initiated by Archduke Carlisle.

Logically speaking, Luo Yi could have sent him to Lion Manor, which was the power core of Flower Territory and the most effective place to deter enemies.

Keluyi, however, was simply unwilling!

There are many people at the Lion Manor, and even more people in Brussels. If we were to actually hold the meeting there, we wouldn't be able to do anything.

But if it were moved to the Silver Sea, it could unleash its full potential.

Luo Yi had been looking forward to this battle for a long time!

From the perspective of Grand Duke Carlisle, the Raymond family may not have actually lost any face or substance.

He paid a considerable amount of war reparations.

But in Luo Yi's view, the compensation was not the issue; what was truly serious was that the Festival of Grace had come knocking on their door and launching a brutal attack!

As everyone knows, Luo Yi is usually easy to talk to. Compared to violence and killing, he prefers to win people over by sharing benefits.

But he really isn't very petty!

So, whether we talk or not is another matter, but we have to fight this battle first!

I need to vent this anger that's been building up inside me!

It's unclear when it started, but Luo Yi moved. With a single step, he shattered the air, and the cry of an eagle echoed through the air.
And so he walked forward step by step!
He didn't unleash any fighting spirit; his gentlemanly attire simply swayed in the wind.
His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, his gaze sharp as a knife, like a fearless warrior ready to ascend to heaven and slay gods.

Around him, ripples spread outwards, accompanied by a heartbeat like the beating of a drum, his aura rising infinitely, as if a giant had appeared between heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying pressure spread in all directions, silencing the heavens and earth, as if a terrifying being was slowly squeezing into this world.

Further on, a series of afterimages appeared behind him.

Those were all Luo Yi, but it seemed as if they had frozen in that moment. Looking into the distance, there was a series of figures, densely packed and countless.

Despite accomplishing all this, Luo Yi still didn't release any battle aura, seemingly relying solely on her physical strength to create various unusual phenomena.

Even so, the pressure it brings is still immense, like a mountain or a sea, like a prison or a yoke.

This time, Grand Duke Carlisle, knowing full well the dangers, will certainly bring plenty of strong warriors with him.

At this moment, in addition to those who had already gone into battle, he was still surrounded by four powerful natural disasters.

Two classic iron-armored axe warriors, their entire bodies encased in exaggeratedly thick, jet-black armor, with only their eyes exposed.

At this moment, the blood was engorged and crimson, filled with fear, but even more so with the last vestiges of rationality before succumbing to madness.

Those who fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood may not be the strongest, but they are definitely the most fearless.

Because all veterans know that if you want to live, the most important thing is not to be afraid of death!
At this moment, they were so stimulated that they were about to enter a berserk state.

There was another being, also a figure of the Black Mist, whose cloak was billowing, and a dark mist spread out behind him.

He can disappear from his original spot at any time if he wants, and when he reappears, he can deliver a fatal blow.

As for the last natural disaster, it was a powerful fourth-tier peak mage.

He was dressed in a dark black mage's robe, was not tall, and wore a mage's hat, which covered his entire body under the robe's hood, making it impossible to see his face.

But his wand was taller than a man, and its head was the most luxurious, inlaid with four magic cores representing 'earth, fire, wind, and water'.

Each of these magic cores is about the size of an adult's fist, and they contain abundant elemental power, as if sealing a small galaxy.

It also possesses a rich, pervasive aura that continues to spread outwards.

This one was specially dispatched by His Majesty the Emperor of the Bonaparte Empire to win over Marquis Ancarel.

His position was Imperial Court Grand Mage; although not the chief, he was still among the top three.

He possessed the pride of a high-ranking court mage, and despite feeling immense pressure, he still chose to strike first.

He held a magic wand, chanting incantations so fast they were inaudible, using his own magic to cause the elements in the outside world to go berserk.
And so, in mid-air, a giant, golden hand materialized from nothing, took shape, and then slammed down with a mighty slap.

hum!
A violent tremor came, and the space beneath the giant palm seemed to be crushed into dust.

This is Bigby's Crushing Palm!
This is a type of magic that almost all combatants would rather avoid, because the shock and shattering power of the spell can almost completely ignore all aura defenses or magical shields.

To be precise, even the most robust defensive measures will crumble under shock.

This time, however, he encountered Luo Yi.

This time, Luo Yi neither dodged nor avoided; she simply raised her head slightly, focused her gaze, and then spun around, drawing her rapier.

Suddenly, several figures froze in mid-air, each slender sword pointing straight to the sky, with layers of vibrating Mach rings extending above them.

It wasn't until Luo Yi took another step forward and stepped out of the area that all the figures started to move.

Then, a dozen or so vibrating sword energies slashed horizontally and vertically, carrying with them swirling air currents, enveloping Biggs' Shattering Palm.

The next second, the two were completely annihilated in the collision and tearing.

At this moment, the Grand Master of the Palace was filled with disbelief; he didn't care that his spell had been broken.

But the way it was cracked was hard for him to believe. Kroy's steps never faltered; he continued forward.

This time, two armored axe warriors stood in his way.

They were tall, like giants, covered in iron armor, and almost impervious to ordinary attacks. Their weapons were typical bull-horn battle axes, with a blood-red, eerie light shining from the blade.

That wasn't some kind of enchanting technique; it was simply the result of killing too many people, causing blood to seep into the axe blade.

Each of these weapons is stained with the blood of countless people.

Now, the two armored axe warriors stood on the left and right, forming a semi-encirclement, blocking Roy's path of advancement.

Behind Luo Yi, a figure emerged from the black mist that had been there for some time.

Instead of engaging in close combat, he raised his hand and struck, conjuring up a magical crossbow.

After the advent of magic-powered firearms, archers found themselves in an awkward position, their numbers dwindling, and crossbows were long since replaced by magic-powered cannons.

But what this fourth-tier assassin held in his hand was a finely crafted alchemical crossbow.

Despite its small size, the bow is made of extremely resilient meteorite copper, the bowstring is made from the sinew of a dragon beast, and the arrows are coated with a deadly poison.

Even a tiny bit of it, enough to break the skin, can numb the body and kill within fifteen minutes.

Therefore, this alchemical crossbow strapped to the hand is definitely no less powerful than a ballista; at close range, almost no one can dodge its barrage.

Almost simultaneously, the two armored axe warriors raised their battle axes, unleashing their fighting spirit, and cleaved down.

At this moment, Luo Yi seemed to be surrounded and about to be torn apart in the next second.

But at that very moment, Luo Yi had already turned around without anyone noticing, and he raised his left hand.

The firearms were already raised, their magic fully charged, and the holy light bullets were already loaded, just waiting for Loy to pull the trigger.

At that moment, the expression on the Black Mist Man's face, which had been so confident of victory, froze, and his pupils reflected the finger that was getting closer and closer to the trigger.

But that wasn't the end of it. At this moment, Loy seemed to have two more phantoms, each facing a different axe warrior.

One of them drew his rapier and flashed it, drawing a 'V' shape.
Another rapier vibrated, Mach rings layered out, and then another slash was unleashed.

boom!
The next second, the seemingly frozen spacetime began to move again. Gunshots, sword flashes, and battle aura slashes mingled together, producing a layered and extremely strange sound.

Along with this, three fourth-tier powerhouses lost control of their bodies and were sent flying like kites with broken strings.

As for Luo Yi, he continued walking forward...

Looking up again at Grand Duke Carlisle, who was so close to him, he couldn't help but break into a bright smile!
However, he suddenly realized that this short distance seemed to stretch infinitely, so much so that no matter what he did, he could never reach Duke Carlisle.

It was at this moment that he noticed the court archmage beside him had unfurled a magic scroll, pouring a torrent of magical power into it.

This is the legendary magic, Merlin's Spatial Expansion Technique!

This is typical spatial magic, and it's not often used in combat. Instead, it's more commonly used when fixed on things like magic carriages or mage towers.

Then, those seemingly small areas can have a great deal of room to expand.

In his haste, the court mage didn't have time to pull out any offensive magic scrolls, so he just drew this one.

But now it seems there's a silver lining to the mistake. From his perspective, Luo Yi is crawling like a snail, incredibly slow.

This made him smile, a slight smile curving his lips.

However, before the great mage could rejoice for long, golden-red holy flames ignited, bloomed, and then exploded on Luo Yi's body!

A deafening boom resounded, and the heavens and earth seemed to tremble. Loy's raised rapier, straight as a rock, was no longer pointed at Grand Duke Carlisle.

He was not a high-ranking court mage!
Before the smile on the court's grand mage's face had faded, a dazzling sword light stretched out, like a blazing golden-red ray, heading straight for his head!
At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else. He cut off his magic supply and activated another teleportation scroll, disappearing from his original spot before the sword light arrived.

Without the obstruction of spatial extension, Loy simply flashed to Grand Duke Carlisle's side.

This Grand Duke was no ordinary man either. He clenched his fists, crossed them in front of his chest, and a wisp of 'qi' rose around him!
That's right, it's the 'qi' that fighters cultivate. It may seem invisible, but in terms of defense and amplification, it's definitely no less effective than the colorful battle qi.

At the same time, he quickly spoke up, trying to persuade Luo Yi with words.

"I am an envoy from the Empire, coming with goodwill. You'd better think carefully about the consequences!"

"You should know the strength of my Carlisle family. Are you really prepared to go to war with me?"

"Don't hit me in the face!"

Luo Yi ignored his rambling and even put away her rapier and gun.
His right hand, burning with holy fire and fighting spirit, was raised and swung out, its target being Grand Duke Carlisle's face.

At this moment, no one could stop him, so the fist drew closer and closer...

It hit Grand Duke Carlisle right in the face!
At that moment, his chubby face became sunken and contorted, his features squeezed together, and his fat jiggled wildly.
Then, he flew away!
This is a real slap in the face!

Luo Yi couldn't help but throw her head back and let out a long howl, shouting, "Awesome!"

Then, he rushed out again.

Since it's so enjoyable, of course we should enjoy it to the fullest!
