Chapter 53: Banquet (8) (2/2)
“I hear he came as an attendant of the Yvliano Clan, but he seee, Bouvard couldn’t bail out of the duel Irritation and anger began boiling inside
Even though he had been proving his innocence during the entire walk to the arena, the little brat had conored and humiliated him It was now time for Bouvard to reveal his skills
“Good! I accept the duel Try not to regret your decision!”
Bouvard got on stage and stood before Jin
“Young Master Jin Runcandel Allow me to formally introduce myself before the duel I anificant nain”
Before the host could even announce the beginning of the duel, Jin dashed to his opponent The spectators deduced that Bouvard had corave offense for Jin to behave in such a way
“Keuk!”
Having not expected the surprise attack, Bouvard took a punch in the cheek and took a couple of steps back As he winced in pain, foul words and curses escaped his mouth instinctively
But Bouvard was no dunce Although it wasn’t well known, he was a 6-star martial artist
“Haah!”
Swoosh!+
His fist fleard at an unbelievable speed one would never expect froh his strike appeared quite simple and unsophisticated, Bouvard’s hand was covered in a piercing aura
A fierce counterattack But Jin calht, Bouvard’s aura appeared to be far more destructive and powerful than Jin’s The spectators were slightly disappointed since Bouvard eaker than expected’, but they still watched in exciteer than Jin
“Looks like Young Master Jin chose an opponent stronger than himself”
“And that fatty’s specialty see Master et defeated and humiliated at this rate”
Just as the audience had observed, Bouvard was skilled in hand-to-hand combat In fact, if this arena weren’t in the Garden of Swords but in an ordinary city with e contestants, then Bouvard would attract a lot of attention froht who fought with a sword So not only did Bouvard have greater aura, he was also better skilled as both duelists were fighting barehanded It was to no surprise that the audience expected Jin’s defeat
Whack!
Bouvard’s follow-up hook struck Jin square in the jaw Jin felt his legs lose strength, and a soft grin grew on Bouvard’s face
‘You dare atteer on the Great Bouvard with suchfor your life, punk’
However, Bouvard’s s
“Keuk!”
The stu Jin should’ve fallen face first to the floor, but instead, he pounced at Bouvard with an arm clocked back and bloodlust in his eyes
‘I punched hiht in the jaw, so how is he still conscious?!”
He had definitely seen Jin’s legs losing strength as well
However, that was merely an act The Runcandels’ blessed bodies wouldn’t cruainst a Runcandel before, he wouldn’t have let down his guard after successfully hitting Jin
Whack!
Jin palht in the face and a heavy strike echoed in the arena Bouvard’s nose was flattened and distorted as a string of blood ran down his chin
But he didn’t have tiroan in pain The Runcandels’ combat style was to show less and less mercy the more the opponent was beaten down
Thwack! Thud! Boom, crack!
Another punch to the broken nose, one to the left cheek, his right flank, his solar plexus Jin’s two fists covered in aura were relentlessly clobbering Bouvard
And it was far fro kicks to his movements In mere seconds, Bouvard was covered in his own blood and was being thrown around the stage like a dirty and bloody rag
“It appears to be over”
“He uard, followed up with a surprise attack and incessant blows ai at different parts of the body to be unpredictable That truly is the best strategy to use against soer than yourself”
The spectators were disappointed for not seeing Jin’s swordsmanshi+p, but found the actual battle reatest harvest of this duel was being able to observe Jin’s battle style
‘I see Young Master Jin isn’t the kind of person to let his hubris and arrogance hold hies that his opponent is stronger than hiy at his disposal’
It isn’t uncoainst 6-stars in a duel However, it is quite rare to see the 5-star coo
It was a one-sided beatdown Bouvard’s first successful hit was also his last He then gotIn fact, he was still being beaten to the ground like uess it’s about tiet too e somewhat reasonably Had it been another Runcandel, Bouvard would’ve been cut down on the spot before he could finish uttering ‘brother-in-law’, even if they were in the banquet hall
“Phew”
Jin shook both of his hands to get rid of the blood and took in a deep breath The unconscious Bouvard itching on the floor as tears ran down his led face
Jin turned around and was about to exit the arena, when he heard a certain lady’s voice ast the audience
“Elder Brother Vishukel! I cannot co Master Jin’s actions Wasn’t the victor already decided earlier? How could he beat up an unconscious and vulnerable iela?”
The shocked Vishukel stared du Master Jin went too far He was bullying the weak The unconscious man down there is our friend, is he not? Will you just stand here and do nothing, Elder Brother? Your little sister is very disappointed in you”
Bouvard Gaston That unpleasant man was neither weaker than Jin nor was he their friend…
Vishukel wanted to answer as such, but he couldn’t as his one and only sibling’s words weighed on his mind…
—Very disappointed in you
“…Are you tellingMaster Jin?”
“Yes I wish Elder Brother would teach Young Master Jin a lesson Of course, in an honourable and dignifiedMaster Jin showed us earlier”
“Oh, what a fla lady!”
“Vishukel! You should listen to your sister’s request Haha, an interesting battle is about to unfold”
In the end, Vishukel went down to the stage due to his sister and the audience’s pressure and expectations
