Busy crowds of people poured into the arena.

Bartel leaned against the chair, wrapped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes to rest. There was endless noise around him. Several subordinates who were preparing to appear were sitting at the table, drinking and whispering. It seemed that they did not take this sacred festival to heart. Faced with the actions of these guys, Bartel had no intention of stopping them. He just closed his eyes and waited for the next battle...

It has to be said that although Bartel is a rough man, as a mercenary veteran who has been rolling in life and death for many years, he did not underestimate his opponents because of this. Although the outside world is very optimistic about them, and many people think that Starlight won after being lucky, Bartel does not agree with this statement. Indeed, the statements circulating in the taverns are quite valuable and convincing. But Bartel believes in his feelings more. When he meets Rhodes, he feels the strange and dangerous feeling - just like a lone, proud and powerful wolf lurking in the grass, waiting for a sense of danger like a fatal blow to his careless prey. This is definitely not something that a young face who can win by relying on luck can do.

Let me experience the power.

The sound of the horn sounded, and Bartel opened his eyes and stood up.

"Okay, boys, cheer me up. This is the first stop for Purple Lily. If any bastard messes up our appearance, be careful that I will beat him into meat sauce when I go back! Did you hear it?"

"Yes! Boss!!"

Hearing Bater's words, the other people immediately raised their hands and catered loudly. Judging from their performance, it is really hard to imagine that this would be an elite member of a powerful mercenary guild. Just looking at their current performance, those who do not know the truth would think that this was the final mobilization of the bandit leader and his subordinates before the robbery.

Only when she stood quietly behind Bartel, the ugly woman did not answer. She just picked up the white mask at her hand and put it on her face, then reached out and sorted out the daggers and daggers that were blocked around her waist. Then she followed Bartel quietly like a shadow and walked out of the lounge.

Bartel originally thought it would be a very difficult duel and would make himself very dedicated.

At least he still thought so before.

But when he walked out of the passage and came to the ring and saw the opponent's lineup clearly, Bartel immediately frowned.

Rod, Anne, Liggie, Joey, Labith, and Lando were standing there quietly. Although their expressions seemed nothing, almost everyone could see the problem.

Qilian and Marlene are not among them.

What's going on?

Bartel frowned. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how important those two girl mages were to Rhodes. In the previous duel, if they had not relied on the power of Marlene and Qilian, Rhodes' starlight would have been completely eliminated. So during training, Bartel also listed these two girls as dangerous people to pay close attention to. But now, they have not appeared? What's going on?

Did they say that in the first battle, the two of them exhausted their strength?

Bartel shook his head. This statement was too unreliable. They had seen it before. Facing the elites of the Tianjian Guild, these two girls almost didn't even yawn, and they easily dealt with each other. Especially Carter, the unlucky guy, was almost fiddled by the girl with a fox tail and ears like a doll holding it in the palm of her hand. She was defeated and had no temper at all. She could not tell she would have overdrawn.

So, what's going on in front of you?

At this moment, not only Bater, but even the audience around him noticed the strange situation, and all kinds of noisy noise immediately enveloped the entire arena. Among these people, many of them were unable to watch the First Battle. They heard the story of the mysterious girl mage from their friends, and wanted to witness the gorgeous magical war with their own eyes.

But reality is far more cruel than dreams. They did not see Qi Lian and Marlene, which disappointed many people. It was as if they were originally looking forward to the concert of the Emperor Superstar, but after the opening, they found that the ones who were on stage were actually third-rate stars.

Failure to expect is not a good experience.

Of course, Rhodes also noticed these surging disturbances, but he was powerless to do anything about them at this moment. He didn't expect this, but what Marin encountered yesterday really disrupted Rhodes' plan. Although he was really happy last night, because of this, Marin's current physical condition is impossible to stabilize and continue to exert strength. What's more, the effect of the drug has just faded away, so it is not a good idea to force her to fight.

The reason why Qi Lian didn't come was because Rhodes needed her to monitor the dog man and woman. In fact, after castrating the guy, Rhodes recognized the other party's identity - that was not a character or character that was easy to provoke, but what surprised Rhodes even more was that with his identity, he really dared to attack Marlin.

It seems that I can't wait.

Thinking of this, Rod suddenly understood why Marlene's personality changed so much in the game. Think carefully. If this matter is really as she thought, then in the history of the game, Marlene might have caught the other party's Tao. This is naturally intolerable for this arrogant lady. In this way, it seems that it is not too strange that she will set up a mercenary group that only women but discriminates against and expels men in the future.

But what puzzled Rhodes was that if this was the case, then according to Qi Lian, that kind of drug should have completely controlled Marlene's ** and mind. So how did she escape this disaster in the game? It is impossible for a existence like herself who can deal with the higher devil and obtain the antidote from her hands.

However, despite their doubts, Rhodes kept Qilian and supervised the dog couple. Although after being brought back by Qilian, Rhodes had two bottles of sleeping potions, Irabis's skills and alchemy effects, these two bottles were enough for them to sleep until next year. But with a cautious attitude, Rhodes was not careless - after all, these two people were the culprits of Marlin's current level. As long as they were in their own hands, everything would be easy. But if they escaped, things would be troublesome.

Among conspiracy and competition, Rhodes can still distinguish between the more important.

But in this way, he had to face an embarrassing situation - that is what he is now.

Although Rhodes' first goal is indeed Wings of Freedom, this does not mean that he did not take the Purple Lily Guild to heart. Bartel's "Rock Sword" is amazing and cannot be stopped by ordinary people. It can even be said that even Rhodes himself was not sure about the front-line charge. After all, his swordsman style is not the type of front-line resistance. Not to mention that the "Snow Girl" Paris, "Storm" Heyman and others are not fuel-efficient. Without the double insurance of Qi Lian and Marlene, Rhodes is really gambling this time... This is not what he likes.

In fact, even Lijie, Anne and others are mostly not in the arena. Rhodes came back very late yesterday, and Qilian helped him cover up some of the truth. Everyone only knew that someone wanted to be unfavorable to Marlene, but was stopped by Rhodes. They didn't know what the details were. But even so, they didn't let them down. As Marlene's childhood sweetheart, Lijie had a deep relationship, so they were naturally worried about Marlene's situation at this time. Although Anne had not known Marlene for a long time, their relationship was already

The scriptures were quite good. When I heard that someone dared to be bad for Marlene, I was already angry. I wished I could wave my shield and smash the other party into a paste. Labis and others were also panting and didn't know what to do. After such a thing happened, everyone was a little panicked. Even if Rhodes was calm, he was just alone and could not guarantee that everyone would be like him. But the second battle was on the morning of the third day. Rhodes wanted to find some time to solve this matter, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and act according to the opportunity.

It's so damn.

When he thought of this, Rhodes couldn't help but grit his teeth and felt a headache. It was not a trivial matter for him to overturn the plan again. Fortunately, it was not the first time that Rhodes encountered such a thing in the game. There were many times when he worked hard to organize and cooperate with the team in order to be able to open up the land smoothly. However, before the beginning, there were always people who could not come for this or that reason, forcing Rhodes not to temporarily modify the plan. So this was not very difficult for him.

But the effect is only left to fate.

At this moment, there were a lot of discussions on the arena, but the sound of the horn sounded without any interference. When the low and loud horn sound was heard, the originally noisy arena became much quieter. Then, the mercenary who served as the referee raised his hands and signaled both sides to come on the field.

A burly, striking figure walked onto the stage, suffocating everyone.

Bater strode onto the ring. He resisted the giant sword on his shoulder and came to the center of the ring with a smile. Then he waved his hand violently, and then the giant sword suddenly flew into the sky and then penetrated heavily into the ring. Bater held the hilt in one hand, raised his head and looked at Rode with a proud smile, then turned his head to look at the referee beside him.

"I asked for a change of rules...the ring match!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone was suddenly in an uproar, and many of them quickly understood the meaning of Bartel's doing so. Rhode also raised his eyebrows. At this moment, he immediately understood Bartel's idea. It was obvious that this man, who was big and thick on the surface, must have conducted an investigation on Starlight before. From the first time he was on the court, he could see what Bartel's idea was this time--he wanted to reduce his advantage to the minimum level and thus win.

Not to mention now, Marlene and Qilian are not around, and the rest... Lijie and Anne are not strong enough to fight Bartel, let alone others.

So………

Thinking of this, Rhodes looked up.

It seems that this time, I can only rely on myself.

"Lijie."

Thinking of this, Rhode had already made a decision in his heart. He waved his hand, and when he heard his greeting, Lijie hurried to Rhode's side.

"I'll go first, and you guys are ready... If I can't support you, you need you guys to go at any time. At that time, Anne will go first. Lijie will put it at the end, so that Lando will also be ready. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Mr. Rhodes. I get it."

Lijie was a little surprised when she heard this, but she nodded quickly, then turned around and came to the other people and informed them of Rhode's order. Rhode looked back at everyone, then he shook his head, then reached out to hold the long sword at his waist and walked onto the ring.

"Oh, boy, I finally came up."

Looking at Rhode's figure, Bartel grinned and smiled happily.

"I thought I would retreat, after all, I look like the kind of person who can make tricks."

"No matter how I say it is, a man is also a man, and he cannot retreat."

Rhode's face was slightly dark. He knew that Bater was intentionally or unintentionally pointing out that he looked like a woman and acted like a woman. Originally, if Marlene and Qilian were there, he would not have such unnecessary provocation. But now that Bater has seen through his weaknesses, he has no other way except to give it a try.

"Yes, it's right, pure man. I like it!"

Hearing Rhode's answer, Bartel smiled and gave him a thumbs up, which made Rhode, who was originally treated solemnly, feel helpless. He had heard of the rumors that the leader of the Purple Lily Guild was missing in his mind, but only when he was facing him, he would find that his mind was not just missing in his mind.

"But before, I will not give up on victory."

Rhode bent down slightly and stared at the other party with a deep face. He reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword, made a gesture of drawing the sword, then shot sharp eyes at Battel, and then spoke coldly.

"The same is true for me. If you want me to lose, just show your true skills!"

Facing Rhode's cold gaze, Bartel laughed, then turned his right wrist and the heavy giant sword was actually lifted by him in one hand!

Not only that, Battel stretched out his left hand and then placed it on the hilt of the sword behind his right hand. Then, he pulled it hard.

"Crash!!"

The giant sword, which was originally a heavy sword of dozens of centimeters, was divided into two under Bater's hands, and turned from a heavy giant sword into two. Their tails were connected to each other by chains. The entire sword appeared a dim light, which looked like a worn-out weapon buried underground and was not seen for many years. However, when Rhodes saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Rock-Slaying Sword.

In the game, this giant sword is one of the most popular weapons that giant swordsmen love. It has extremely high damage, but its requirements for strength are relatively low. Before the players' attributes are not enough to support them in using weapons such as the Mountain Stream Sword that require high power, the Rock Sword is a very good excessive, not to mention that its special ability can divide it into two, so its damage can be calculated exponentially. Of course, since most players in the game do not have any left-hand fighting skills, and they cannot fight flexibly and freely with both left and right hands, this attribute can only increase some damage at most in their hands.

But for the original real owner of this sword, these are definitely not a problem.

The Rock-Slaying Sword has an additional ground attribute, and its combat power on the earth increases by 30%, a 100% armor-breaking effect, and a one-third chance of a certain crippling effect. Any one is a headache for Rhodes. Fortunately, his structure and clothing are not just for a good meal.

Thinking of this, Rhode pressed his body even further, his eyes locked on Bartel's body. The burly swordsman also felt the fighting spirit emitted from Rhode's body at this moment. He restrained his smile, raised his sword with both hands, crossed it into an x-shaped shape to block his face.

The entire arena was silent.

It was not these audiences who suddenly learned to appreciate the competition in a civilized way, nor did they suddenly become blessed and understand the principles of friendship first and second. But while these two people were posing, they suddenly felt an unprecedented, powerful sense of oppression and impact. Behind Rhodes, the onlookers felt the coldness in the air, and the howling cold wind was like blowing through the extreme wind in the north, which was enough to freeze everything in the world. Under the cover of this coldness, in Ba

Behind Terr, the onlookers were also not much better. If the cold and cold brought to people by Rhodes, then these people seemed to be almost buried alive in the land. They felt that their bodies were extremely heavy, and they were breathing in big mouths like fish on the shore, but they did not dare to make any sound. It was like an invisible mountain pressing on their heads. As long as they dared to break the silence, the peak would instantly go down and press them into meat sauce.

"Holy, the holy soul is above..."

Looking at the scene in front of them, Kavos and Shana couldn't help but gasp. After all, they were considered former mercenary commanders, so they were naturally knowledgeable. At this moment, they felt this suffocating chill, and they quickly knew what was happening in front of them.

Sword intent manifestation, top master sword skills!!

They widened their eyes in disbelief and stared at the figure of the young man standing on the ring. Although Rhodes has always performed very well, most of the time, his battles are basically completed with those summoning elves. In this way, in the eyes of Shanna and others, there will be an illusion that "Rhodes' swordsmanship is very strong, and they will become stronger with those strange summoning elves." Most of them focus on Rhodes' summoning elves, and unconsciously ignore the other party's swordsmanship. At most, they just guess that Rhodes are either close to the master level, or that they have just entered the master level swordsmanship field.

But until today, after Rhode showed his strength in front of them without reservation, they were surprised to find that this young man was not the kind of genius who would have a bright future in time, but a powerful person who had completely entered the field of the strong - able to make the sword intent manifest in such an obvious way and have such a wide range of influence. This is enough to show that Rhode's swordsmanship itself has far exceeded their imagination. You should know that even Hiller, who is the Burning Blade, has used power equivalent to the master level, but he has not reached the level that can make the sword intent manifest.

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other subconsciously. What kind of virtues are they? They were so lucky to serve him under such a strong man? When they thought of this, they couldn't help but feel a little secretly happy. If they could follow such a strong man, then there would definitely be no need to think about the future...

very good!

Facing the overwhelming cold air that was whistling down from the top of the North Peak, Bartel grinned. He was very happy that he could fight such a powerful opponent. He expressed his attitude, and Rhode also responded without reservation. This was enough for men, so next, there was communication without words.

Bartel narrowed his eyes and looked at each other seriously through the gaps between the two swords.

Rhode also felt the other party's aura like a mountain, and the toughness of his cold wind that was not moved no matter how he blew. That was exactly what Bartle was strong.

At this moment, the referee, who had been mixed with the sword intent of both sides and was in great pain, seemed to be unable to bear this strange feeling, and ran to the side like a life-long escape. Then, he waved his right hand with his high raised.

"Swish!!"

Just as the referee's arm swung, Rhode's figure disappeared instantly, and Bartel shouted loudly, raised his two giant swords high, and then suddenly fell down to the ground.

The earth roared, and violent vibration continued from the arena to the surrounding audience. The solid bluestone slabs also cracked under this crazy and powerful force. The gaps like spider webs spread wildly. The whistling air flow crossed, and the x-shaped sword energy rushed towards the other end of the ring. The sharp stone thorns along the way continued to rise and fall like waves, blooming in all directions.

And at this moment, a bright red light flashed through it, then turned into a bolt of lightning, stabbing straight into Bartel's eyes.
Chapter completed!
