Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

The sound of waves crashing against the sea amidst the torrential rain echoed in the hall, making everyone feel as if they were on a vast, ever-changing ocean.

Behind her, the long-haired man watched all this, thinking that Miramp had become stronger again, and that she was using her most powerful attack right away, intending to end the battle as quickly as possible and ruin the blond man's reputation.

But suddenly, as if a breeze had swept through the hall, a gentle breeze that didn't belong to the storm in Milanp, it swept across the turbulent sea, and then everything fell silent.

The sounds of waves, the howling wind, and the torrential rain all vanished.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that Luo Xiu had appeared in front of Milanp at some point, gently placing his hand on her shoulder.

At this moment, Miramp's eyes were filled with fear, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked in terror at Luo Xiu's back, as if he had not yet realized that Luo Xiu had already walked up to him.

Her two bare legs, exposed beneath her blue and white dress, were trembling slightly. Cracks appeared on her snow-white skin, from which blood gushed out, and the stone slab beneath her feet collapsed and cracked into a spiderweb pattern.

This scene left everyone stunned.

Has the battle already ended?!

Even more shocked were the leaders of the three groups. Their superior strength allowed them to see through the illusion. The speed and power Luo Xiu had just displayed were so clearly visible even to them that it meant Luo Xiu's rank had reached…

Fifth order.

The word flashed through the minds of the three leaders, and they were all utterly shocked.

This is simply impossible. Unless Luo Xiu possesses some kind of age-preserving technique and is actually much older than he appears, it makes no sense at all.

But when Peter looked at Tata across the way and saw the smugness and satisfaction shrouded in black mist, he realized it was true. This young man had indeed reached the fifth rank at the age of less than thirty.

"it's your turn."

Luo Xiu's cold voice rang out, and Peter, atop his tall horse, immediately changed color, glaring at the long-haired man and shouting:

"you dare!!!"

He made his move, hurling a massive spear shimmering with dark gold light at the ground in front of the black-haired man. The attack caused a thunderous roar in the hall, and a large section of the ground was instantly obliterated.

But he still took a step slower.

As the smoke cleared, Luo Xiu knelt on one knee and pressed the head of the long-haired man to the ground. Blood flowed outwards along the cracks in the floor. The dark armor on the long-haired man's body was completely shattered, and his face was twisted so that he could not open his eyes.

Luo Xiu raised his head, looked at Peter, and smiled slightly:

"You're a bit slow."

After saying that, before Peter could get angry, Luo Xiu released his hand from the black-haired man, letting the 24th ranked young man in the capital slump to the ground.

He stood up and looked at the three men leading the group opposite him. His upright figure cast a large shadow in the sunlight streaming in from the doorway. He smiled gently at them:

"It's your turn."

Chapter 212 That’s it

Is it your turn?

Before the members of the three teams could recover from the shock of Luo Xiu's crushing defeat of two seeded players, they were plunged into even greater shock.

They looked at Luo Xiu, hardly believing their ears.

What is he trying to do? Is he going to directly challenge the three leaders?

For a moment, some people felt that their long-held beliefs had collapsed. They had always thought that people from the capital must be extremely noble and powerful when they were away from home, and that they could turn the world upside down with a flick of their wrist. Now, this idea was completely destroyed.

The Platinum Merchant Guild's prodigy was on the verge of death, and the two seeded players from the Dark Gold Knights and the Holy Sea Merchant Guild collapsed to the ground like dead dogs, bleeding profusely. That was bad enough, but the person in front of them actually challenged the three leaders to a duel.

Shouldn't our side be invincible? Some people couldn't accept it, and looking at the three leaders, they couldn't contain their emotions and shouted:

"Please, adults, help!"

Soon, similar voices emerged in greater numbers, gradually forming a wave.

Their long-held beliefs have crumbled, and they urgently need three leaders to help them rebuild them.

In fact, given the current situation, even without them saying a word, the three of them, including Mulan, couldn't sit still any longer.

Compared to the others in the queue, they thought much more than just that their authority was being challenged.

Miao Lan thought of Gane. Given Luo Xiu's current strength, what he said before was very likely true.

In an instant, their own star player went from being nowhere to be found to being in a precarious situation.

He was completely unable to accept it, and his aura exploded outwards. His golden robe fluttered without wind, like a towering mountain descending upon the place. The powerful pressure made the people behind him almost vomit blood, and they had no choice but to retreat repeatedly.

At the same time, a faint metallic odor permeated the air, and the illusory mountain behind him shimmered with golden light, dazzling and spectacular, as if the entire mountain peak was made of stacked glittering gold coins, making the hall shine with brilliance.

"If you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish."

He glared at Luo Xiu with a ferocious expression, and stretched out his right hand. The entire towering golden mountain seemed to move, as if to suppress Luo Xiu.

Mulan's profession is a paladin, and the skill he is using at this moment is an offensive method evolved from the paladin's retribution skills. He strikes with a killing move as soon as he starts, and the entire knight building is shaking and making a sound like a wail, unable to withstand the full power of a fifth-tier attack.

Luo Xiu gestured to Tata, Leila, and the others that they didn't need to intervene, and then he was about to make his move.

But suddenly a huge iron hammer appeared and collided violently with the golden mountain phantom.

A tremendous roar echoed, and all the magic arrays used to stabilize the entire Knights' Building lit up, densely packed like stars, barely managing to keep the building from collapsing.

The illusory image of Jinshan trembled, but was ultimately blocked by the iron hammer.

Miao Lan's eyes narrowed as she looked at Luo Le, who was holding a huge iron hammer opposite her. She hadn't expected anyone to interfere at this time.

"Did you ask me before you took action at the Knights' headquarters?"

Basil's hand holding the hammer trembled, and she felt half of her arm go numb. She hadn't been at the fifth rank for very long, after all, she was older than the other fifth-rankers in Kanriel, who were at least a decade younger. Otherwise, she wouldn't only be slightly stronger than the mushroom monster from the Gold Casino.

But she resolutely stood in front of Luo Xiu, her small body bursting with power as she looked at Mu Lan opposite her:

"Anyone who commits violence within the Knights' Building will be punished without mercy!"

"call out--"

The moment she finished speaking, a sharp whooshing sound rang out, and a long rainbow flowing with dark golden light shot out.

She desperately turned her head to dodge, her large, jewel-like eyes wide open as she looked incredulously at the attacker, the tall, imposing Peter, who was dressed in dark gold armor.

Peter's face was more somber than ever before as he looked at Basil:

"Step aside."

"Captain..."

"I told you to get out of the way!!"

Peter's angry voice suddenly rose, like a thunderclap in spring. Basil's body trembled. She looked at the man she had once admired so much and felt that there must be some misunderstanding.

He quickly pointed his little finger to Luo Xiu behind him and introduced him to Peter, his voice trembling slightly:

"Commander, this young man is the greatest contributor to this battle. It is because of him that we were able to achieve a great victory. We—"

"call out--"

Another burst of dark golden light responded to her. This time she didn't dodge, whether out of surprise or unwillingness, she simply watched as the dark golden light shot toward her abdomen, her pupils trembling.

At the last moment, a pair of hands reached around her waist, scooped her up, and passed by the dark light.

The dark golden light struck the ground, instantly creating a deep crater and reducing all dust to nothingness.

"How ruthless, Mr. Peter, to treat your former trusted subordinate."

Luo Xiu tucked the basil into his arm, looked at Peter sitting atop the tall horse, and smiled:

"So, only those who know how to make choices can rise to a high position?"

"You must die today."

Peter spoke in a deep voice, his killing intent even stronger than that of Mulan.

Myo Lan at least wanted to capture Luo Xiu first to ask about Gane's whereabouts, but Peter, for some unknown reason, was determined to kill Luo Xiu.

In the distance, Pap, dressed in a baggy blue and white robe, stood at the front of the line without moving.

He glanced at Peter and Mullan with a flickering gaze, ignoring even Hup's plea for help.

He did recognize Luo Xiu's talent and value, but the time was not yet right to make Luo Xiu wholeheartedly join the Holy Sea Chamber of Commerce.

He planned to wait until Luo Xiu was on the verge of death before making his move.

Luo Xiu gently patted the vacant, heartbroken Luo Le in his arms:

"Commander, would you like me to give you this opportunity? It's a rare chance. If you don't want it, then get off me. A fight is about to break out."

Luo Xiu's words seemed to awaken Luo Le from her daze. She looked up at Luo Xiu's smiling face, and her empty gaze gradually returned to its senses, with a glimmer of light shining in her eyes.

Finally, she bit her lower lip, released her grip on Luo Xiu's arm, and jumped down from his embrace.

"I come."

The giant hammer in her hand suddenly grew larger, and she swung it freely, as if a god of immense strength had descended. Her platinum hair spread out and danced behind her, sparkling like crystal.

She reached out, pointing the giant hammer at Peter opposite her, her small face contorted with anger:

“I don’t know what happened to you after you went to the capital, but I’m going to wake you up.”

"This is the headquarters of the Knights of Kanriel! Anyone who dares to cause trouble here will be punished without mercy!!!"

She swung her hammer, the immense force of which shattered the air in front of it, unleashing a series of terrifying roars as it crashed directly onto Peter atop his tall horse.

Peter's face was so dark it could drip water. He never expected that his most obedient subordinate would dare to swing a hammer at him, especially after he returned from the capital.

This was not the reunion he had imagined.

It seems he needs to give his former subordinate a good talking-to, to help her face reality and reshape her perception.

As for beating yourself, that's wishful thinking, laughable!

"call out--"

He flipped his wrist, changing his grip to a holding motion, as if throwing a spear. The steed beneath him reared up, and endless dark golden light spread from the man and the horse. At this moment, he was like a god descending to earth, thrusting the giant spear in his hand fiercely towards the giant hammer.

boom!

The sparks that erupted when the giant spear and the giant hammer collided were nothing short of a grand fireworks display, exploding throughout the hall and illuminating everyone's faces with their brilliant light.

When the light faded, everyone looked at the battlefield and was horrified to find that the giant hammer stood firmly, while the tip of the dark golden spear was trembling wildly, emitting a buzzing sound.

Looking at Peter's face again, his originally gloomy expression turned to surprise, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the gun bulged as he barely managed to keep it from slipping from his grasp.

In this first clash, basil actually won?!
