Chapter 407-405: A Legendary Standoff (Please Subscribe)
Luo Yi never imagined that beating up an enemy would feel so good!

With each punch he threw, he felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit; every cell in his body was leaping with joy.

Then, his next punch was even more ferocious and forceful.

His figure seemed to split into countless parts, each with a different punching stance.

Grand Duke Carlisle, on the other hand, was like a ball tossed in mid-air, unable to fall, being bounced from one side to the other, and then from the other side back to the same side!
Back and forth, it looks like they're about to be ruined!

This scene stunned countless people, especially the two armored axe warriors who came to save their master; they froze on the spot.

The ruthless and bloodthirsty Grand Duke Carlisle, whom they once thought was tyrannical and bloodthirsty, has now been easily humiliated!

This is truly a case of the filter shattering into pieces!
Even these warriors, who had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, experienced a moment of reflection for the first time.
It seems that this person, whom they once thought was high above and invincible, is actually a weakling in front of a stronger opponent, easily manipulated!

at this time,

In the higher void, two more people were standing.

One of them was the red dragon Virgil, who was looking down at the scene below and shouting in astonishment.

"Harder! Harder! Beautiful..."

"That was a good hit. His face was all deformed, and he lost two front teeth. Hehehe, well done."

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you spanking me? Don't you know the Carlisle family is notoriously fat? You deserve to be slapped! Slapped! Slapped again!"

"This face is already ugly, if you beat it into a pig's head, that would be quite interesting."

"Alas, my drawing skills are just not good enough. Otherwise, if I had drawn this face, I reckon I could have squeezed a lot of money out of this Duke Carlisle."

Next to Virgil the Red Dragon, there was another person.

He looked to be in his sixties, with broad shoulders, a stout build, and small eyes that were barely slits—the standard appearance of a direct descendant of the Carlisle family.

He had a cigar between his fingers, which was already two-thirds burned.

Generally speaking, one shouldn't smoke a cigar too fast, or one will be unable to bear it. But at this moment, he was taking one puff after another.

The smoke billowing from his mouth and nose was almost continuous, which showed that his anger was about to explode.

Several times, he wanted to swoop down, but the voice of the red dragon Virgil drifted over.

"If I were you, I would never act rashly!"

The man suddenly turned his head, his face fierce: "No one can humiliate the Carlisle family like this, no one!"

"Look, isn't it right below?!"

"Dragon of the End of the Burning World, are you really going to turn against me for a bastard child?"

"I thought that by simply showing myself here, I had already made my attitude very clear."

Just because others are afraid of you doesn't mean I'm afraid of you too!

If I remember correctly, even by dragon standards, you've entered the stage of an old dragon.

I wonder, how much of your peak fighting strength can you still muster now?

Red Dragon Virgil didn't deny it: "You're right, my combat power has declined significantly, but I'm still a pure-blooded red dragon. Do you dare to bet on that?"

"Of course, even if you want to gamble, I'm not interested."

As he said this, he pointed to the northeast and said, "Look over there!"

Upon hearing this, the legendary expert from the Carlisle family looked up. It was unclear whether it was the effect of his legendary perception, or whether the person in the distance was intentionally showing off.
A faint, dark, and bloody aura emanated from the air.

"A vampire duke?!"

"I didn't say anything!"

Red Dragon Virgil waved his hand, then pointed to Loy below and said, "And this kid, although he's only at the fourth rank, if he unleashes his full power, he can still fight against a legend."

"In a one-on-one situation, you might have a chance of winning;
But if you're really that desperate, a three-on-one situation isn't out of the question; we might accept that.

The legendary powerhouse of the Carlisle family couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from twitching; his expression was as ugly as could be.

He silently restrained some of his aura, but still stubbornly refused to back down.

Red Dragon Virgil chuckled and spoke again: "Alright, alright, look closely, that kid Roy may seem heavy-handed, but he actually knows his limits!"

"Haven't you noticed? He hasn't used his full power yet; he's been holding back his battle aura."

“Your Carlisle family went too far last time. This time, let him vent his anger, and that will be the end of it.”

"Only after he vents his anger can we have a proper talk later!"

The legendary powerhouse of the Carlisle family grumbled and admitted defeat.

But he still uttered a harsh statement: "The Carlisle family will remember this!"

"Fine, I'll remember it. But if you want revenge, you'd better hurry, or I'm afraid you won't have a chance."

"What do you mean?"

"He's at level four now, so it'll be a bit difficult for him to beat you. But if he's at level five, you'd better run away as fast as you can when you see him!"

……

below,

Like a ball, Archduke Carlisle, after being struck by a whip kick, flew in an arc and crashed directly into the sea.

Loy then flashed and arrived on the magic warship.

He waved his hand, and Walter understood, steering the warship toward the spot where Grand Duke Carlisle had crashed. Roy, meanwhile, took a few steps forward to the bow of the ship.

Until he waved again, the magic warship stopped, and Loy leaned out to look down from above.

On the water's surface, a massive body floated, its custom-made clothing filthy and stained with blood.

The most gruesome sight was the head, which was swollen like a pig's head, covered in bluish-purple bruises.

Those eyes, which were already small, now barely visible, are completely invisible.

There was just a person floating there, not much different from a corpse, a swollen corpse at that.

Luo Yi finally spoke: "Alright, I didn't kill you, so stop pretending to be dead!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corpse moved. Grand Duke Carlisle struggled to move his hands to maintain his balance.
He forced his eyes open again, stared at Luo Yi for a moment, and then asked in a hoarse voice, "Did you enjoy the fight?"

Luo Yi smiled and nodded: "It's alright, it's alright, my muscles and bones are loosened up!"
Of course, if you're not satisfied, we can do it again. Don't worry, this time, I can take on all the fourth-tier opponents you brought."

It has to be said that after the actual battle, Luo Yi realized that the Holy Skill [Divine Speed] had increased his combat power to an exaggerated degree.

This time, he faced it alone, and none of the five Calamities, including Grand Duke Carlisle, felt any pressure.

Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Carlisle's lips twitched involuntarily. He had no intention of responding and said directly, "We've fought, we've regained our face, shouldn't we have a proper talk?"

"That's how it is, then let's talk!"

Loy stepped aside, and Grand Duke Carlisle's body jolted, and he floated up, pressing one hand against the ship's hull, and he was on the bow of the ship.

Then, Walter led him into the magic warship, found him a room, and let him wash up.

Nobles must maintain a noble demeanor; even when negotiating, they cannot appear so slovenly.

When the two of them reached an agreement, the other fourth-tier powerhouses naturally stopped fighting.

One by one, they concealed their auras and landed on the magic warship, forming two rows without any hesitation.

On one side were three combatants under Loy's command and a Cataclysm mage.

On the other side were a total of eight fourth-tier warriors: two Cataclysm mages and six combatants.

In terms of numbers, the number of powerful figures brought by Grand Duke Carlisle far exceeded that of the others, but now, these people were all dejected and in low spirits.

On the other hand, although Luo Yi's group was smaller, they all held their heads high, their pride and arrogance written all over their faces.

Luo Yi ignored them, straightened her clothes slightly, and walked through the middle into the captain's cabin.

The captain's cabin had been rearranged, and the items that were originally on the square table in the center had been cleared out.

Instead, a lavish spread of food was laid out, including desserts, tea, red wine, soup, bacon, roast lamb, and bread.

Only two people are qualified to sit at this table.

Therefore, there were only two mahogany high-backed chairs.

Luo Yi walked inside, sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip.

As his initial excitement subsided, he became incredibly calm, and while waiting, he fell into deep thought.

About fifteen minutes later, footsteps were heard, and it was Grand Duke Carlisle striding in.

Loy raised her eyes slightly and was surprised to find that Grand Duke Carlisle had lost at least four or five sizes.

If he used to be obese, now he actually looks quite fit.

He was wearing a black gentleman's suit with a white shirt, and the red tie around his neck was the most eye-catching part.

Although Roy didn't kill him, he didn't hold back much either, and the injuries on Grand Duke Carlisle were undeniable.

But now, apart from his face still being badly swollen, the injuries in other places have almost completely healed.

This reminded Luo Yi of a rumor.

It is said that the Carlisle family has a special bloodline that allows them to accumulate fat through consuming large amounts of food.

The injury can be quickly healed by consuming fat when needed.

Even fatal injuries can prolong life for a period of time.

He had only heard about it before, but had never actually seen anyone use it. This time, however, he had actually seen it, so the rumors must be true.

Even this outfit was custom-made to fit her slimmer figure.

Grand Duke Carlisle made no attempt to stand on ceremony. He walked to his seat, sat down, poured himself a glass of red wine, and gulped it down.

Then they started using knives and forks, stuffing all sorts of food into their mouths, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

It's hard to imagine that he could still give off an elegant vibe while wolfing down his food.

He only stopped using his knife and fork after he had eaten most of the food on the table, and then took a napkin to wipe his mouth.

Once he had calmed his breathing, he looked at Luo Yi and said, "Can we talk now?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Tell me how you should save yourself from the flower-giving crisis?"

Discuss how you preserved the Raymond family's legacy.
"Luo Yi, haven't you realized? You're already standing on the edge of a cliff!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yi was taken aback, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

　I felt very comfortable writing today's chapter.
