Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

But we had no choice but to do it!

In fact, if he were a member of parliament or a government official, the Queen would be powerless against him. Although the Queen holds a high position and is the nominal monarch, she has also said that she is really only a nominal monarch.

The royal family's power, primarily administrative power, has been almost entirely stripped away.

However, for these nobles, the power of the royal family remained unaffected, due to the different logic of power.

The power of government officials is granted by the people. Just like those members of parliament, they are products of the representative system and are agents elected by the people.

When the monarchy loses this power bestowed upon it by the people, its sanctity is challenged, and it loses its executive power.

The power of these nobles was based on the fiefs they received and the titles they held.

In other words, they exist in dependence on the monarchy, and once the monarchy is damaged, their power will also be substantially affected.

This logic can be understood using the example of eunuchs in ancient times.

Once eunuchs left the palace, they would be very powerful outside, because they were tied to the royal power.

Once back in the palace, they were reduced to household slaves and servants. It was not easy for the emperor to kill a minister, but killing a eunuch was just a matter of a single thought.

Therefore, the nobles were very bold, but they dared not disrespect the Queen. The reason was that their power needed the Queen's endorsement.

Once this legitimacy is lost, the so-called nobles are no different from those nouveau riche landowners.

At this moment, Knox's eyes were bloodshot. He tried his best to keep his head down so that others could not see his eyes, which were filled with a chilling hatred.

Just then, Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly:

"This Mr. Knox is really interesting. Ever since Miss Norina and Miss Catherine came to my side, his malice towards me has been increasing. It's as clear as a candle flame in the dark."

I had already noticed this. There were several other people in the hall who were hostile towards me, but their emotions were more attributable to jealousy, so I didn't care.

Mr. Knox's emotions were like a volcanic eruption, which was quite strange. However, I admire his courage, since after my several moves, there are very few people who dare to provoke me anymore.

So I'll give you a chance. I'll stand here without moving and give you one minute. You can use any weapon you have to attack me. I'll only use one finger. If you can touch a corner of my clothes within three minutes, you win.

If you win, I can grant you one request; if you lose, I will take one hand as the price.

You can accept this suggestion, or you can refuse it. I won't complain if you don't accept it. After all, for a stray dog ​​who has already lost everything, adding insult to injury won't make much difference, right?

"I accept! But I need to prepare!"

Without looking back, he rushed out, his quick reaction catching everyone off guard.

Everyone became excited.

They all wanted to see what amazing skills this Miyazaki swordsman possessed.

Although I already knew some things about him from various sources, these things were just too surreal.

Even though I keep reminding myself that all of this is real, some doubts still linger in my heart. Now that there's a stubborn fool willing to risk everything to try it out, it's all the better.

Duke Drei had intended to stop him, but Knox reacted too quickly and rushed out before he could stop him, which made Duke Drei sigh inwardly.

He knew Knox's character; although he had a womanizing habit, he was also resilient and valued his reputation highly. If he forcefully stopped him, he would only make Knox live a life of suffering.

Rather than that, let him try. After all, Miyazaki Yu's offer is too generous. He can use only his fingers without moving and Knox is allowed to use any method.

This makes things much more feasible; if he's smart enough, perhaps...

Twenty minutes later, Knox returned, but this time he didn't come back alone; he brought back two figures dressed in black armor.

Both of them were completely covered in black armor, which was dark and did not reflect any light, yet it carried a chilling sense of oppression.

Everyone was somewhat surprised. Although they didn't know what these two people wearing black armor were, they looked very imposing and seemed to be quite powerful.

"Lord Miyazaki, you said I could use any means to attack. These two are my guards; they can act in my place, right?"

Duke Dre, who was standing to the side, was delighted to see his son bring in these two people. These two were very special, but they did indeed possess formidable combat power!

And unexpectedly, the son also brought the demon armor that the family had poured all their efforts into creating with him!

If that's the case, then perhaps there really is a sliver of a chance of winning!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the swordsman could not possibly go back on his word. If he could obtain a promise, he could keep the request unspoken, leaving it hanging and becoming a protective talisman for the Dre family!

The idea spread rapidly through my mind like wild grass.

He began to consider the gains and losses involved, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Chapter 692 Calmly Taking Action (2nd Update!)

At this moment, Knox, like his father, was full of confidence in accepting the bet.

This Miyazaki swordsman's strength may indeed be terrifying, but so what?

You are too arrogant, which limits your actions.

No matter how powerful you are, if you stay still, the amount of power you can unleash is very limited, let alone a single finger.

These two warriors are no ordinary fighters, though their lives, like those of cicadas in autumn, will soon fade away.

However, their strength is undeniable, because even the royal family at its peak would not have more than ten people with this level of combat power!

No one paid any attention to the newcomers; they were just two cavalrymen wearing strange armor.

Seeing the solemn expressions on the faces of the people present, he couldn't help but feel nervous as well.

Norina looked at her best friend, Catherine, who had a serious expression.

"Catherine, what's wrong? What's wrong?"

Catherine said with a solemn expression, "There's something wrong with these two people. They have such a strong sense of oppression. My heart skipped a beat when they walked in!"

My teacher once told me that after reaching a certain level in cultivation, one will have a mysterious sense of threats.

Although I can't reach that level, years of practice have made my senses much more acute than those of ordinary people.

After these two people walked in, I felt a sense of oppression. Clearly, their strength was not to be underestimated.

At this point, I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Their bet just now placed a lot of restrictions on Miyazaki Yu, even if he is very strong, these restrictions make him even more vulnerable.

How much of his potential can he actually unleash?

If he loses, he has to agree to one condition. Will the other party make unreasonable demands, or even...?

When the Queen saw the two men in black armor, her expression first turned serious, then a hint of unease crept into her eyes.

She was not weak; on the contrary, although she was old and frail, her mental strength was extremely strong, and her combat power was only slightly weaker than Orville's.

In other words, besides Miyazaki Yu, the strongest person in the hall is this queen.

However, at this moment, the two men in black armor were shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to discern their strength.

There was a vague sense of oppression, and the blood in my chest seemed to be boiling.

"What's going on? Why do I have this feeling? Is it because I have a premonition about something, or is it because of these two people?"

However, it was too late at this point. Let's see if Miyazaki Yu can still defeat his opponent under such unfavorable circumstances.

Several nobles, even those with considerable strength, felt a sense of impending doom, and their smiles involuntarily froze.

As a result, the hall, which had just been filled with laughter and joyous celebration, has now fallen into complete silence.

Seeing this, a hint of smugness appeared on Knox's face.

This is the trump card of the Dre family, their biggest secret, and the origin of this strange black armor is also quite extraordinary.

This is a secret underground military research base in Europe, where a new type of armor has been created using the latest nanomaterials. This armor is lightweight but extremely strong, and can even withstand the frontal impact of artillery!

The Drey family paid a tremendous price to acquire these two sets of armor.

Now that we're going all out, there's no need to hold back anymore, given the sword saint's so-called promise.

Hmph, so what if he's a sword saint? Arrogance and pride are the greatest original sins, a fatal flaw that no power can eliminate!

I must seize this opportunity and bring huge profits to the Drey family!

Just as he was pondering what kind of demands would maximize his benefits, Miyazaki Yu spoke up.

"How interesting! I never expected that I would encounter something so interesting just by attending a banquet. It's truly unexpected."

These two are a bit strange. Their aura reminds me of some bio-engineered soldiers I encountered in America, except their aura is much stronger than those.

I could sense that although their lives were very strong, they were like unstable volcanoes, seemingly on the verge of collapse at any moment. This was the first time I had ever encountered such a feeling.

More importantly, I sensed the aura of sacred bloodline in these two people, which is even more intriguing.

"What? Divine bloodline?"

Everyone was shocked. These two strange men wearing black armor actually possessed divine bloodlines. But wasn't it this sword saint who personally ended those divine bloodlines?

The queen, standing to the side, finally understood where her unease came from—it was a sense of oppression from her bloodline!

There's definitely something wrong with these two!

After the battle, we must not let them leave; we must find out exactly what happened!

At this moment, Duke Dre became anxious and hurriedly gave Knox a wink, which Knox immediately understood.

He shouted, "Mr. Miyazaki, are you still willing to fulfill our bet? If so, let's begin now; I don't want to waste any more time!"

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly: "Don't want to waste time? You don't want me to continue, do you? But that doesn't really matter to me. The reason you care is because you're too low-level to see the scenery."

After all, for a frog, a well is everything; for a fish, a stream is its entire world; and the wider world remains unseen.

Since you're in such a hurry, let's get started.

As he spoke, he walked outside to the lawn in the center of the courtyard. After standing there, he put his left hand behind his back, then extended the index finger of his right hand, curling all the other fingers together.

"Alright, you can begin your attack now!"

The two men in black armor exchanged a glance, then roared, letting out a strange howl like that of wild beasts. They then transformed into two phantoms and instantly rushed towards Miyazaki Yu!

"So fast!"

This was everyone's first reaction; the two black-armored men were simply too fast, probably no less than the speed of a bullet.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and before they could even clearly see the opponent's movements, they had already lost the ability to keep track of the opponent's actions.

"boom--"

After the explosion, the three figures were revealed, and two black-armored men attacked Miyazaki Yu from the left and right.
