The Warrior of Love

"Don't worry, it will be over soon."

"Um……"

Lily temporarily retreated to the audience seats, on the same level as Andre, but with a certain distance between them.

Andre glanced at the fairy swordsman. As the butler who handled various affairs for Tony, he was very familiar with the magic societies in southern Europe. And he would naturally recognize Liliana, a young genius who was rare in the whole of Europe.

I just don’t know what this swordsman girl went through to meet the seventh God Slayer and become his attendant.

——Yes, although Liliana was not aware of it, in Andre's eyes, the swordsman girl was obviously chosen by the God Slayer just like herself.

However, Liliana never had such an idea in her heart, or even such a hope... She did not swear allegiance to Jiang Liu, but just stayed by his side naturally.

"It will be over soon...Is that what you think?"

Dongni chuckled and gave Jiang Liu a thumbs up.

"Don't be so self-deprecating! Although you are just a newcomer, you must have little combat experience and not enough power, but a true warrior will not be discouraged by these. Be more confident. I just became a God Slayer and let that terrible old man suffer a great loss."

Jiang Liu was slightly startled, then laughed: "No, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

"Huh?" Tony was stunned.

"I mean--"

Jiang Liu smiled refreshingly and said, "It won't take much effort to deal with you."

His expression was so sunny and cheerful, as if what he said were not provocative words, but some heartwarming blessings.

"Oh?"

The blond young man narrowed his eyes immediately and stretched out his hand towards the stands. Andre, who had been prepared, immediately threw a long box over.

The long box opened automatically in mid-air, and a sheathless knight's sword shining with metallic luster fell out and landed in Tony's hands naturally like a bird returning to its nest.

It doesn't look like this is a valuable treasure.

It is neither a "mysterious" ancient creation nor a divine tool that contains divinity, and it is not even a "famous sword" in the general sense.

This is just an ordinary weapon produced from a modern industrial assembly line. It has no other features except that it is sturdy and durable. Even its sharpness is only average.

However, even this common stuff, when held by Tony, had its own aura. The sharp aura instantly locked the entire arena. It seemed that as long as Jiang Liu made any unusual movement, the sword would cross the barrier of time and space and directly chop him.

"it is good!"

Jiang Liu's eyes lit up, and even he admired Tony's "sword".

"Sharp, powerful, and unstoppable... Even without using your power, you are powerful enough."

"Wow, you have good taste, but you are almost the same. I can tell at a glance, the standing posture, the momentum exuded, the eyes without confusion... He is a person like me."

Tony grinned, "Now, can you still say something like that?"

Jiang Liu shrugged helplessly, which meant that he still insisted on his previous opinion: it wouldn't take much effort to deal with Tony.

"You really have confidence in yourself."

Tony was a little speechless, but luckily he was naturally thick-skinned and quickly adjusted his mood.

"By the way, why don't you show me your sword?"

——Of course, what he was talking about was not an actual weapon, but Jiang Liu’s “qualification” and “proof” as a swordsman.

However, Jiang Liu shook his head: "It's not the right time yet."

"what?"

Dongni frowned: "Are you scared? If that's the case, then I was really wrong."

"Afraid? Haha, there's just no need to draw your sword for now."

Jiang Liu looked at Tony calmly. As the battle was approaching, his heart was extremely calm.

In fact, after hearing Tony's challenge, Jiang Liu once thought that his existence has now been noticed by everyone, and he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to.

In this case, as the saying goes "one strike is enough to prevent a hundred", why not let him show his strength and have a good fight to give a warning to those hidden forces!

In a sense, it can also be considered as "establishing authority".

It was really unfortunate that the King of Swords brought himself to Jiang Liu at this time.

So, under Tony's sharp gaze, Jiang Liu calmly stretched out his hands.

"This is enough."

"You guy!"

Chapter 544: Torn Silver Hand!

Salvatore Tony, he is the leader of the magic world in southern Europe and a godslayer with the nickname "Sword King".

Unlike the cruel and aloof Marquis Vauban, Tony's nature is not evil or cruel, he is just simply warlike!

If Marquis Vauban is the one who best represents the "Devil King" among the godslayers, then Tony is the one who best represents the "Warrior".

He loves fighting purely, as if he was born for it. It is not for killing nor revenge, but just to hone himself and make his sword sharper.

He is a warrior even purer than "Asura"!

As for him, although his overly free-spirited personality caused headaches for people around him and often caused a lot of trouble, he would not kill indiscriminately just because he was in a bad mood, nor would he take the initiative to attack ordinary people.

Tony is a guy who has no common sense and is always causing trouble. He directly chooses precious ancient relics as a battlefield... Similar things have happened before, and the economic and cultural losses caused are simply incalculable.

He did not restrain his great power, and who knows how much damage he caused to the general public...

But at least he would not be like the Marquis, who completely disregarded human life. This was the only thing that made everyone feel relieved.

At least, in front of him, you don't have to worry about having your eyes gouged out or your ears cut off for looking at him for one more moment, or being killed and turned into an undead for saying the wrong thing - other godslayers would really do that!

I can only say that it is all thanks to the contrast with his peers that even a scumbag like Tony (in Andre's words) seems gentle and amiable.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had basic morals as a human being, Andre wouldn't have been willing to clean up his mess.

However, even though Tony was a hopeless guy in a certain sense, Andre had to admit that he had a talent that no one else could match.

sword!

Overall, Tony's martial arts can definitely not be said to be the strongest. At least the martial arts king of Jiangnan is ahead of him, and even among human knights there are those who have honed their skills to the extreme.

However, only in the field of "sword" is he the absolute solitary king!

Even if you travel around the world, you probably won't find a swordsman more powerful than Salvatore Tony.

The nickname of the King of Swords is not a self-proclaimed title, but a recognized crown!

To Tony, "sword" is everything to him!

Due to a premonition, he knew that the man in front of him also possessed a "sword". And... its sharpness might be no less than his.

But Jiang Liu not only refused to take out his sword, but insisted on fighting with his bare hands, which undoubtedly touched his most sensitive spot.

"There should be a limit to how much you can underestimate others!"

A murderous aura swept the area, and the blond young man no longer had a relaxed and happy look on his face. He raised the knight's sword high in his hand and slashed at Jiang Liu from a distance.

Zheng!

The surging sword energy instantly tore the ground of the arena apart, and cracks like the claw marks of a monster spread out and soon reached Jiang Liu.

"Boom!"

Jiang Liu gently lifted his foot and landed on the ground. Although the movement was not big, it caused the ground to shake slightly. At the same time, the mysterious power of the spell spread out, and the already solid ground became even more indestructible. The hideous crack stopped automatically at Jiang Liu's feet, as if he had encountered a thousand-foot-high mountain that was difficult to cross.

But the King of Swords did not give Jiang Liu much time to react. He rushed over at a speed faster than the crack. The simple and strong knight's sword split the air and fell towards Jiang Liu's head!

This move was so straightforward that even a child knew how to dodge it, so Jiang Liu naturally——

Don't dodge or evade!

"drink!"

Jiang Liu threw his fist forward without hesitation. With a clang, the knight's sword and fist collided with each other. Although one side was obviously a flesh and blood body, the sound of golden spears was more powerful than that of swords clashing.

Tony, who was originally quite annoyed, not only did not get angry, but he calmed down and even felt a little happy after seeing Jiang Liu actually blocked his attack with his body.

"It seems that you are not bragging. Come on, my compatriots!"

The space was suddenly divided by the sharp sword shadows. Tony was clearly standing right in front of him, but the sword blades seemed to attack from all directions, trying to completely strangle Jiang Liu in the center.

Jiang Liu remained calm in the face of danger, using not only his fists, but also his elbows, knees, legs, and forearms...

All of them transformed into weapons, wrestling with the King of Swords with their bodies stronger than steel, and the clear sounds of collisions spread all around...

"Zheng!"

With an all-out attack, Tony's knight sword pierced through the space, from bottom to top, from left to right, like the calm surface of a river under the moon, streaking across the wandering sword light -

Ka!

However, this perfect sword was stopped midway. The back of the hand, which was protected by domineering power, blocked the blade, and then took a step forward in an instant. There was a harsh grinding sound between the back of the hand and the blade. Jiang Liu thus interrupted Tony's "momentum" and approached directly.

"drink!"

A swift jab pierced the Sword King's chest, sending the blond youth flying far back and knocking down a corner of the Colosseum's wall.

However, Jiang Liu was not happy about this.

"It doesn't feel right... Does he have any means to protect himself?"

He was very sure that the previous attack would not determine the outcome, and it did not even cause the expected damage to Tony. For the God Slayer, minor injuries could be completely ignored.

"and……"

Jiang Liu lowered his head and looked at the faint scar on the back of his hand.

Unexpectedly, without using his power, Tony's sword could break through his defense - even if it was just the outermost layer of domineering defense.

You know, Jiang Liu's "Eternal Twelve Trials" brought him a Noble Phantasm-level defense, coupled with the endurance of his body and the peak of Armament Haki, his physical defense has reached an incredibly high level.

Even a war god like Hercules needs divine tools to inflict damage on him.

Originally, based on Jiang Liu's estimation of the God Slayer, if he didn't take his power into consideration, even though his physical strength was very strong, it would not pose a threat to him.

Even holding a sharp famous sword, it is difficult to break his protective aura, let alone holding an ordinary knight's sword.

However, Tony's sword has reached an inhuman level. It has nothing to do with power and divine strength, but pure skill is enough to compete with gods.

The last sword actually broke through Jiang Liu's domineering aura...

If the power of authority is used, it might directly harm Jiang Liu's body!

"Indeed, I underestimated you."

Even as he said this, his hands did not slow down at all. With solid armed Haki, Jiang Liu threw a punch from a distance, attacking the Sword King once again.

There was no technicality at all, it was just the simplest straight punch, but the Ryuo Haki released tore the earth apart like a dragon that devoured everything!

Bang!

The fist wind hit the blocked sword, and the invisible force passed through the sword into Tony's body. Even with the godslayer's inhuman physique, he felt a surge of blood and energy, and Jiang Liu's pursuit followed closely.

"hateful!"

Should we say that he is worthy of being the King of Swords? Even though he lost the initiative, Tony still responded properly in time. The sword drew a wonderful trajectory. The knight's sword, which was absolutely unable to catch up, regrouped incredibly and released a sword pressure that could cut through the storm.

"【Swear an oath, this sword is an invincible blade that can cut through everything!】"

hum!

After a brief chant of the spell, the silver-white light transformed into a sword blade, and in just a moment it cut off the Ryuo Haki that was comparable to an anti-military treasure!

And its might remains undiminished as it cuts through space, the atmosphere, the ground – everything visible and invisible!

Its final destination is Jiang Liu!

"coming!"

Jiang Liu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he dodged for the first time since the war began, disappearing on the spot like a phantom.

——Zheng! !

The slender silver blade pierced through everything in the universe and, along a straight trajectory, split the towering Colosseum into two!

Jiang Liu appeared again, took a cold look at the high wall that was cut in half behind him, and then looked at his right hand.

On the forearm, a sword wound so deep that the bone could be seen almost cut off the arm...
