The atmosphere in the room became a little bit frozen, and it seemed that when the name "Saul Hannigan" was mentioned, even a madman like Merlin seemed to be a little depressed.
"God Emperor Odin... Hell, he really ran out." Char's voice sounded like he was moaning.
Aslan didn't speak, Merlin moved his lips and forced a bitter smile: "Boy, bad news, good news... Which one do you want to hear first?"
"...Let's hear the good news first." Xia Ya smiled reluctantly.
"The good news is..." Merlin pointed to Aslan: "I know you must hate this old boy and want to teach him a lesson, and my good news is that you don't have to do it yourself, because someone has already helped You've repaired him hard, and you can see what he looks like now. I can guarantee that this guy has never been beaten so badly in his life."
…
In the tavern, God Emperor Odin's calm voice fell, but Aunt Sofia and Aslan were speechless.
The two looked at the Emperor Odin standing in front of him - no one would think this guy was joking!
In fact, everyone, including Aunt Sofia and Aslan, has always believed in their hearts: In this world, there is really nothing that can bind this terrible person forever!
No, even, they all doubt that this guy is not a "human" anymore!
The two powerhouses felt that the aura became gradually dignified. Aunt Sofia took a step back slowly, took a deep breath, and was about to speak, but Aslan suddenly stepped forward. In front of the emperor, he straightened his chest.
The Battle Intent Sword Saint's face was ashen at the moment, and he felt that his momentum was actually completely suppressed when the person in front of him walked into this tavern. Even when he recognized the person in front of him, he even felt a sense of shame—fear in his heart!
Yes, it is fear!
I! Aslan! A generation of juggernaut! The top powerhouse in the mainland! How could I be afraid of this opponent just meeting him? !
More importantly, the person in front of him is what he regards as his worst enemy in his life! The most hated person ever! You can hate him, you can hate him, you can hate him!
But, but, but! ! But how can I be afraid of him! How can I fear him? !
After the fear passed, this shame immediately ignited the anger in Aslan's heart!
The object of his anger is not others, but it is himself!
"Very good! Sol! Hannigan!" Aslan took a deep breath: "You actually came out! Then there is no need to say anything more! If you choose to break the oath, then it is the best for me. But! Because even if you don't appear here today, I will go to Odin to fight with you! Since you are here, let's have a contest between the two of us! Let me see, you have been here for 30 years. What kind of breakthrough has been achieved in your divine city!"
When Aslan said this, his fighting spirit was full of enthusiasm. His whole body had entered a state of extreme excitement. His gray hair seemed to be standing upright, and his whole body was suddenly filled with a sharp aura. It's like turning into a sharp sword!
God Emperor Odin looked at Aslan in front of him, his expression was still so calm, even a little weird, unbelievably calm, as if he was not challenged by a top powerhouse in the continent, not a swordsman level opponent.
"Oh, Aslan, are you the first?" The Emperor of God seemed to smile: "Then what's next? Sofia, will you be the second? Then it's Merlin's turn?"
Merlin? !
Aunt Sofia and Aslan changed their expressions at the same time.
"Yes, Merlin is the third, right?" The Emperor sighed: "It seems that I really look up to you, Sofia, Aslan, the two of you have lived comfortably for too long. Obviously, Merlin's paranoid guy has improved rapidly over the years, and has surpassed you. You are standing here, didn't you realize that she was hidden long ago?"
…
"You've always been there?" Xiaya looked at Merlin.
"Of course." Merlin sighed: "Please, I'm not a fool, I'm your adoptive mother, how can I help you look after this family... Well, at that time you had stabilized in Syltan County, and I didn't need to continue. I followed you secretly, and I came back naturally. But it happened that I discovered the secret of your little fiancee and this old man. They quietly went to Wildfire Town, and of course I followed secretly. I am your adoptive mother, Of course I want to help you protect your little fiancée, you silly boy."
…
In the tavern, a figure slowly appeared in the corner. Merlin was wearing a black robe, and then she slowly took off the cloak, revealing a head of silver hair.
Merlin stared deeply at the Emperor Odin: "Long time no see, Thor."
"Yes, long time no see." Emperor Odin smiled: "Your invisibility has improved a lot, at least these two guys didn't find you."
Merlin's unexpected appearance shocked both Aunt Sofia and Aslan, especially Aslan, his confidence was shaken immediately!
Merlin was hiding beside him, but he didn't notice it! However, God Emperor Odin easily saw through Merlin's traces. Just looking at this point, his opponent has far surpassed himself!
But for a generation of Juggernauts like Aslan, this shake was quickly suppressed by him, he ruthlessly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said coldly: "Okay! Now is not the time for nonsense! Merlin , you will talk about the old things later, and now, let me and Sol have a good contest first!"
As Aslan said, the sword in his hand had been raised flat, and he gave a virtual point to the God-Emperor Odin.
This is a standard challenge move.
"Okay, I accept your challenge...and anyone's challenge next." God Emperor Odin smiled, his smile still so calm.
Everyone can clearly see that when the world's strongest man in front of him is smiling, there is never the slightest smile in his eyes.
It seems that his eyes are as calm as ancient ice... No, at least the ice will feel cold, but the eyes of the emperor seem to have no emotion, not even temperature!
It seems that there is an endless void in his eyes!
Then, Aslan shot!
…
The swordsman's shot did not have the kind of shocking movement he imagined, and there was no such thing as a thunderous sword.
He just seemed to shake the sword in his hand slightly.
With the slightest point of the sword tip, it immediately transformed into a star-like light.
Soon, around him and the Emperor, the space seemed to be torn apart in an instant, distorted and extended...
They are clearly standing in this small tavern, but it seems that the surrounding space has been extended infinitely! The two were clearly only less than five steps apart, but they seemed to be hundreds of meters apart.
The near is within reach, the far is far away!
This is a mysterious and mysterious feeling.
At least, Adeline and Daphne at the other table were stunned. Then the two girls felt dizzy.
This sudden tearing of the space brought about fluctuations in their consciousness. With the consciousness of the ordinary people of the two girls, they could not bear the space distortion caused by the duel between the powerhouses. Both girls felt as if deep in their minds. There was a sharp dizziness, accompanied by a sharp needle-like pain.
Fortunately, at this time, a pair of warm hands gently supported the shoulders of the two girls, and suddenly, a strange gentle force dispelled this dizziness and headache. Aunt Sofia was already standing between the two girls, wrapping her arms around the other, and said softly, "If you can't bear it, you'd better close your eyes."
The space just got even weirder.
Yaslan's whole body was full of fighting intent, and the strong aura was getting stronger and stronger, even as if the aura around him had become real!
This kind of power that solidifies murderous aura into reality is truly shocking!
If Xia Ya was on the spot at this moment, he would be surprised to find that Aslan's murderous aura was condensed into a powerful force, which was somewhat similar to his own crimson murderous aura.
But the weird thing is that the aura around Aslan's body became more and more "solid" around the "space" where the two were, but other than that, the rest of the space seemed to become "empty" in an instant. down!
Soon, within this space, it seemed that only the place where Aslan was located was substantial, while the rest became a kind of nothingness!
It feels even weirder!
It is clear that there are tables, benches, and everything around... But everything is clearly there, clearly seen, but it makes people feel that everything does not exist at all!
There is no entity, there is no reference, and at the same time, there is no... Focus!
In this space, it seems that there will be such a feeling: even if you have the power of ten thousand, but in this empty space, there will only be nowhere to send.
"This is a stunt that I have cultivated over the years." Aslan said coldly: "Jianyu! My own sword!"
God Emperor Odin didn't speak, he just raised his finger, and the fingertip seemed to emit a sharp light, which was a force like sword qi or fighting qi, but this sharp light pierced out, and soon engulfed by the surrounding "nothingness".
And Aslan sneered, grabbed his left hand in the air, and the sharp light seemed to be easily "attracted" by him, and he was caught in his hand.
"Look, Sol! This is my sword domain!" Aslan's eyes burned with flames: "In this sword domain, any murderous aura that does not belong to me will be swallowed up by my sword domain and then used by me. This sword domain belongs to me! You can't attack me at all! Because any power you use will be attracted to me and become my weapon!"
"Oh... Is that so?" God Emperor Odin nodded, his face was finally no longer so calm, replaced by a weird expression: "Unexpected... Unexpected, thirty years, you actually practiced became such a…”
…
"Such a useless useless trick." Xia Ya sighed, then turned his head and looked at Aslan: "I understand now why you lost so badly."
Aslan blushed: "You, how do you know I lost?!"
"Nonsense, if you defeated God Emperor Odin, would you still look like this?" Xia Ya shook his head.
"Waste trick. Hahahaha!" Merlin laughed a few times, and then took a deep look at Xia Ya: "Unexpectedly, you can see through this at once... It seems that your perception is really good. Your evaluation is almost the same as what Sol said at the time."
…
"Unexpectedly, in thirty years, you have practiced such a useless trick." A deeply disappointed expression appeared on the face of God Emperor Odin: "I thought you would bring me A bit of a surprise, Aslan, but now I have to admit, you've let me down so much... In thirty years, you've gotten to this level..."
"It's useless?! You actually said it's useless? Haha!" Aslan shouted sharply: "The mouth is useless, Sol!"
The Emperor didn't mean to be angry, instead he lowered his hands easily and looked at Aslan quietly: "Sword Domain... Well, all the power will be used by you... Well, old friend, it seems that you really You've gone astray. You don't understand the true meaning of power at all. Hmph, I think, what you will say to me next is 'this is the space you created, the rules of power you created, the rules of space you dominate' Old-fashioned nonsense. In my opinion, the so-called 'all power must be used by you' is simply scare nonsense. The rules of space... To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a higher level of 'strengthening power', and those Ordinary samurai's most basic swordsmanship tricks to confuse opponents and then skillfully draw opponents' power have no essential difference, it's just more fancy and scary."
God Emperor Odin's tone suddenly became serious, and even had a strange "sincere" taste: "Trust me, old friend, I had this idea of yours twenty years ago, but fortunately I have crossed the After this misunderstanding, I have returned to the essence of power! Hmph, what space rules, attracting the power of the enemy for my own use... To put it bluntly, there is no essential difference between the so-called four or two thousand pounds in the basic martial arts! Now, let me tell you what it is! It's power! There are no rules, there are no tricks! No tricks, no gimmicks, no rules to scare people - it's power! Power itself! That's the truth."
At this time, God Emperor Odin sounded like a teacher who was teaching his incompetent apprentice a lesson, and then he gently raised one of his own hands - his left hand. Then he slowly clenched his fists: "Four taels of a thousand jins? It's ridiculous, are you still in this ridiculous state? Are you still complacent about four taels of jins? Then I ask you, if your opponent's strength is not a thousand jin, but Ten thousand catties, one hundred thousand catties, one million catties... Can you still move it?"
After slowly saying the last word, God Emperor Odin moved his left hand.
No fancy, no gimmicks, not even any cover!
Just one punch! !
A seemingly ordinary punch, a straight punch!
But with this punch, it was impossible to dodge, to resist, to parry, to... haul!
At this moment, the so-called space rules, the so-called "attracting the enemy's power for one's own use", suddenly turned into a ridiculous joke!
Just because, in this fist, the true meaning of implication.
strength!
…
boom!
Aslan suddenly flew straight out!
Everyone clearly saw such an ordinary punch from the Emperor Odin, and he slammed it into Aslan's right face! Everyone saw the moment when Aslan received the punch on the face, the muscles in his face were twisted, his mouth was split open, two teeth were spit out, and then he leaned back, the sword in his hand flew out, and then the whole person Fell straight to the back!
This punch, Aslan couldn't resist, couldn't even dodge!
He wasn't even able to react at all!
When Aslan was beaten and fell directly, the illusory feeling of space distortion just now disappeared in an instant, disillusioned!
The tavern is still the tavern.
Aslan fell out, smashed two tables, smashed into the wall, knocked a hole in the wall, and the whole person seemed to be inlaid in the wall in a "big" shape, bleeding from his nose and mouth, and his right cheek. It's already swollen!
…
Everyone was stunned!
Aunt Sofia, Merlin, almost didn't look at Aslan again, but stared at God Emperor Odin at the same time!
The shot of the world's No. 1 powerhouse did not have any gorgeous elements, did not create any so-called space for himself, what so-called gorgeous effects, no vindictive light, no explosive scenes, it was so plain and almost ugly... One punch!
But with just such a light punch, the generation of Juggernaut who had created a space distortion just now, created a sword field, and had a whole body of fighting spirit, let go of the long sword, and the whole person flew like a dead dog. out!
One punch!
Defeat a strong man with only such an ugly punch!
…
It was silent for a long time, or it was already stunned by shock.
After a long time, Aunt Sofia finally squeezed out a sentence: "Okay... I admit, I am not your opponent, far from... "
No one would think that Aunt Sofia's words were too humiliating.
In fact, Aslan's defeat was too fast!
After all, Aslan is a sword saint. Even if Sofia and Merlin thought that Aslan was not the opponent of God Emperor Odin before, they would at least go through a fierce battle and would not lose too miserably.
But I didn't expect the result to be so shocking!
"I'm not your opponent either." Merlin's voice was not calm, instead, his tone was a little excited, and even his eyes had a feverish taste: "But Sol, you let me see a new Direction! I finally understand what the shackles are that have bound me for many years! Strength! Haha! I understand!! I am not your opponent, but maybe ten years later, I will challenge you!"
"Merlin!" Sofia gritted her teeth: "Now is not the time for you to go crazy!" Then she looked at God Emperor Odin: "I admit, you have indeed improved... No, you have surprised us all, completely beyond our expectations. Imagine, maybe now, the so-called powerhouses of us are no longer on the same level as you. If you want to beat you, maybe you have to find the Lord Saint Roland Garros! If even she can't beat you, then …”
"Then I want to do anything in the future, no one can restrain me, and I won't have any shackles on my body." God Emperor Odin smiled.
"Yes! After all of us admit to losing to you, according to the previous oath, no one will stop you if you want to do anything..." Aunt Sofia took a deep breath: "But after you defeat Before everyone... This oath is not over yet! Sol! According to our agreement, you have to defeat at least seven other strong men! So, before completing this agreement, you can't... "
"I will keep my oath."
God Emperor Odin smiled, and then he slowly touched it from his arms. When he reached out, what was in his palm made Sofia's face pale.
In the hands of the Emperor Odin, there are two magic badges and a handle of a weapon - it looks like a knife handle.
"The magic badges of the Great Magister Dinar and the Great Magister Enke, and the knife of that guy in Magarvin... Oh, I'm sorry, there is only one handle." The Emperor Odin's tone seemed to be an understatement: " I have visited these three old friends separately, Dinard and Enke lost to me, as the losers, they gave their magic badges, and that guy Margavin, his knife was destroyed by me It's ridiculous that he still claims to be a Sword Saint, but I have to say that he is at least a lot better than this guy. I used six moves to defeat him." God Emperor Odin said lightly: "Thirty years ago My old friends, as far as I know, two other old friends have passed away a few years ago, and one is too old and his strength has regressed and he is no longer worthy of being my opponent."
With every name Odin said, Aunt Sofia and Merlin's faces became even paler.
"Then, in addition to the fact that you have all conceded defeat in front of you... The only people left are... "
Saint Laurent Garros!
…
"Saint Laurent Garros!"
Xia Ya also took a deep breath.
The shock in his heart at this moment really cannot be described in words!
Nine of the top ten powerhouses in the continent have already been eliminated by the God Emperor Odin!
In the end, the only one who can put hope to stop that guy is Saint Laurent Garros!
However, even Xiaya felt faintly in his heart that the guardian of the holy city might not be the opponent of the Emperor Odin!
Thirty years ago, Saint Laurent Garros only had a draw with the Emperor Odin.
Thirty years later, the strength of this God-Emperor Odin has progressed to a terrifying level! That Saint Laurent Garros... Has she made such progress
"...Wait, what you just said was good news! Hell! You actually said it was good news?!" Xia looked at Merlin with wide eyes: "You all lost to that terrible guy, yet you still Think this is good news?!"
Merlin looked at Xia Ya and said lightly: "He has indeed become unexpectedly powerful. Although I am very proud, I have to admit that I am inferior to him. There is nothing to be ashamed to say about this. As for the good news... Anyway, you are not Are you unhappy with this guy Aslan? He was taught a lesson by Sol, isn't it good news?"
"God! You crazy woman." Xia groaned: "So... what's the bad news?"
"Bad news..." Merlin's face also became ugly: "The bad news is... His Majesty the God Emperor Odin, he saw his biological daughter, and suddenly made a decision, before he left for the Holy City. Before challenging Saint Laurent Garros, he decided to first…”
Adeline said in a weak voice: "Xia Ya, my father... He, wants to see you."
Gum!
Xia Ya swallowed hard.
"See, see me?"
"Yes." Merlin sighed, looked at Adeline, and shook his head to Xi Ya: "That's the problem, you and Adeline are not married yet! You've delayed your marriage for too long. Well, this mistake will get you in a lot of trouble. You know, Thor is the Odin... well, he's the emperor of the Odin. So don't you know that the Odin have a tradition? Pure The Odins attach great importance to a woman's chastity! According to the Odinian tradition, a girl must never lose her virginity before getting married! And once a girl loses her chastity before marriage, then the girl The father and brother of the girl will be considered to have brought shame to their family. In order to wash away this shame, the father and brother of the girl will challenge the man who took away the chastity of his daughter or sister! Only the blood of the chaste men of the girls in my family can wash away the shame brought to my family."
Xia Ya's face turned blue: "...you mean... "
Merlin: "Yes."
Xia Ya's throat became dry: "You mean..."
Merlin: "That's right."
Xia's breathing became short of breath: "he's looking for me..."
Merlin nodded: "Exactly."
"..." Xia suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly, "Damn it! You mean, the God Emperor Odin who smashed Aslan with one punch! That bunch of the world's powerhouses like you are all tied together. The guy who can't beat him actually wants to fight me?! Me? Me?! Should I arrange my own funeral and funeral? Or my respected adoptive mother, can you teach me A magical disguise or invisibility?"
"Actually... things don't have to be so bad." Merlin sighed: "Maybe he won't kill you, maybe he'll just beat you up for the sake of us and his daughter, or maybe he just wants to meet normally. The man who will marry his daughter."
Xia Ya breathed a sigh of relief, but the guy Aslan put in a few words: "Boy, don't think you'll pass the level so easily. As far as I know, the Odin people are the most traditional, and the Odin people are the most traditional. Ding people are conservative and stubborn guys, they pay attention to tradition as if they pay attention to their religion! Even in their opinion, tradition is part of religion! Hehe... You can ask for more blessings! Besides... What's more unfortunate is that , he is the emperor of the Odins! It seems that you have just defeated one of his legions recently. That guy Manninger is the leader of one of his most trusted tribes, and he can be considered dead at your hands. More importantly, it seems that You just beat his son half to death a few months ago..."
"Go to hell, you old guy!" Xia glared at Aslan angrily, then turned to look at Merlin with a frown, and said viciously: "To be honest, how did this old guy get beaten up like this? I listen to you. Yes, the Emperor Odin just punched him."
Merlin spread his hands: "It's very simple, according to the tradition of duels between our strong men, the loser must accept any punishment from the winner. So that guy Sol blocked Aslan's whole body, and then threw him to the one-eyed , told One-Eyed that this guy Aslan was stalking One-Eyed Wife... Then, the One-Eyed guy went crazy..."
For any man, overturning a jar of vinegar is a source of rage! Especially after knowing that a shameless guy has been stalking his wife for decades, any normal man will make the right choice: roll up his sleeves and teach this shameless guy a hard lesson.
What's more, One-Eyed is a combative retired pirate
As a tradition of duels between the strong, even Aunt Sofia can't stop this "punishment", because if she stops it, it is a broken rule.
What's more, God Emperor Odin's meaning is very clear: If Sofia stops One Eye from doing it, then he will do it himself.
Therefore, the dignified mainland swordsman, in the tavern in Wildfire Town, was bruised and bruised by a retired pirate with a single punch.
…
"Congratulations, boy." Merlin said with a wry smile: "You are very likely to get a huge honor: Saul is recognized as the strongest player in the mainland, and there is no one who can qualify for his list of dueling opponents for decades. One is not the top powerhouse in the continent, and you are fortunate enough to enter the ranks of this list."
"I don't want this kind of honor!" Xia Ya cursed.
"Actually... Xia Ya, don't be so nervous." Adeline hugged Xia Ya gently and said softly, "Maybe, father really just wants to see you... Although I'm not familiar with him, I I feel that the eyes he looks at me are very gentle, I don't think he will be too harsh on you... If he must punish you, I will ask him to punish me together... Xiaya... "
"Okay..." Xia smiled wryly: "Fuck... Is this... a special form of... see your parents?"
