Chapter 75: Knight Secret Technique
"Big sister, can you ask them to stop?" looking at the battle below, Verna asked Olivia.
"Stop? Why do they need to stop?" Olivia looked at her, and looking at her expression, she understood what Verna was thinking.
"You need to believe in your husband; he won't lose. Moreover, even if he does lose, it won't be a big deal," she said calmly.
Indeed, from how the situation looked, Chen Heng and Delano's strength was roughly on the same level.
Under such circumstances, if one side wanted to take down the other, it might be possible, but it was not very likely that either side could kill the other.
The difference between defeating and killing was simply too big.
"But…" Verna continued to look worried, and she wanted to continue speaking.
"Alright, you can go down to rest." Olivia waved her hand in annoyance, motioning for a servant to take Verna away so that she would not continue to annoy her.
Below, the battle was still going on.
Bang!
The sounds of battle continuously sounded out.
From when they had started, it had already been a long time.
At some point, they had gotten off their horses and fought on the ground.
On one hand, their horses did not have the stamina, and on the other hand, fighting on horseback greatly limited how much strength they could unleash.
Boom!
The two long swords collided in the air, unleashing a shocking sound.
Chen Heng was covered with sweat, and he was sent a few steps backward by this impact.
Of course, this was the same for Delano.
In the next moment, they both simultaneously raised their heads and unhesitatingly rushed forwards again.
Exquisite sword skills were unleashed; whether it was Chen Heng or Delano, both had experienced many battles. As such, neither of them revealed many openings.
Fighting a battle like this required intense patience.
If they did not have enough patience, not only would they not be able to find an opening in their opponent, but they might themselves also show an opening.
Both of them did quite well in this regard.
However, because they did so well, this battle had become a war of attrition.
By now, without anyone realizing it, the battle had gone on for two hours.
During these two hours, even some of the spectators began to feel impatient and tired.
They could only imagine how the two fighters were feeling.
Despite fighting for so long, they still had immense strength. Each of their attacks could rip through iron and kill tigers.
Their actions were still quite agile, but it was evident that both of them were becoming fatigued.
At the end of the day, when fighting an opponent of the same level, the mental effort that they used was immense too.
Under the present circumstances, Chen Heng gradually began to calm down.
He knew that in a war of attrition, he held the advantage.
After all, he was a young man in his early twenties, and his body was strong and he had much energy.
On the other hand, Delano was already a middle-aged man.
Life energy had given him a powerful body, but compared to a similarly-powerful Knight who was much younger, he was still at a disadvantage.
As time went on, he would not be able to outlast Chen Heng, and he would end up using all of his stamina first.
It was evident that Delano had realized this too.
He swung his sword savagely, forcing Chen Heng back, while he also retreated and deeply breathed in.
"Let's decide this in one attack," he said calmly as he raised his sword.
As he did this, all of his muscles over his body bulged, and a faint white light covered him.
His black sword blasted down.
In that moment, Delano's aura skyrocketed, and his sword continued to savagely descend towards Chen Heng's body.
"This is…"
A suffocating aura spread out, and sensing this, Chen Heng looked up.
His body was soaked with sweat, and if one observed closely, they would see that his palm was already bleeding from the continuous impacts.
As Delano swung his sword, a suffocating feeling spread out.
"Knight Secret Technique."
Sensing that feeling, Chen Heng inwardly sighed and thought to himself.
Knight Secret Techniques were unique battle skills that Knights could unleash by instantly igniting their life energy through their Life Seed.
This was done by greatly stimulating one's Life Seed, resulting in a burst of terrifying power.
However, using a secret technique like this was very difficult, and most Knights could not do so.
This not only required talent but a legacy from previous generations as well.
Looking at Delano accelerating towards him, Chen Heng deeply breathed in and slowly raised one hand.
His aura began to slowly rise, and his Life Seed near his heart twitched.
Dense life energy madly gathered, wrapping around his sword.
In the next moment, he ferociously stepped forwards with his sword raised, and he used all of his strength to slash down.
Wolf Slash!!
As Chen Heng unleashed this Knight Secret Technique, a terrifying power blasted out from his body through his sword.
On the spectator stands, seeing this, Krudo grinned and no longer felt as nervous.
Chen Heng was not a rogue Knight with no legacy.
Rather, as Corripo's student, he had inherited many of the Wolf Knight School's skills, including the Knight Secret Techniques.
For other Knights, they could only feel out Knight Secret Techniques by themselves. However, Chen Heng could just learn them from Corripo.
This Wolf Slash was one of Chen Heng's accomplishments, the only Knight Secret Technique he had grasped so far.
Bang!
A massive sound rang out, as if something had exploded.
The moment the two swords collided, the two different waves of life energy slammed into each other.
Following this, the two figures simultaneously flew backwards.
