Chapter 495 Clash II (1/2)
Initially, Rhode had no intentions of starting any clash with the diplomatic group. After all, they were in Golden City and he felt that he had to respect Royal Highness Lydia. However, the rage in Rhode's heart exploded as soon as Tres started shooting his mouth off. Rhode knew that the Country of Light's Parliament would be throwing their weight around, but he had never expected that this bunch of bastards dared to cause a scene just outside Golden City. Did they really treat the Munn Kingdom as the countryside?
Almost simultaneously, Rhode quickly realized that this was a great opportunity for him to understand Lydia's attitude on this entire matter.
Due to this reason, Rhode let out a snort and responded without any hesitation as the soldiers charged towards him. He instantly recognized that the sword skill that the soldiers were about to use: the ruthless [Condemnation]. Moreover, they possessed the strength of an Elite and if Rhode was slashed by them, he would lose at least half of his life even if he had survived. At this thought, the rage in Rhode burst out suddenly. Back then, I murdered your entire Parliament over a thousand times and just a few pathetic dogs like you dare to attack me?!
Tres observed with folded arms while the two Battle Angels darted forward to stop the soldiers with their pikes. However, they were too late as the soldiers had brandished their swords at Rhode.
The domineering soldiers had blocked off Rhode's way of retreat from all directions. As the saying of 'Double fists do not rival four hands' goes, Rhode definitely wouldn't be able to defend himself with just his twin daggers.
But it was a pity that there would always be a gap between reality and imagination.
Tres was confident that this black-haired young man had nowhere to hide and was a definite goner as Rhode half-kneeled and placed his daggers above him in a cross. He pushed up and the soldiers attacking from all four directions had as though collided into an invisible wall and instantly recoiled. They rolled over a few meters before stopping and not only that, Tres realized shockingly that the soldiers' swords had been shattered completely!
Tres was absolutely baffled and his contemptuous eyes dwindled as he gazed at the black-haired young man with a graze expression.
As a member of the Calvary Guard, Tres possessed swordsmanship of the Master Stage and he knew clearly what this scene meant. Rhode didn't choose to avoid his men's attack, but instead, he decided to block them upright and frank.
However, Tres wasn't startled that Rhode had obstructed their attacks from all directions simultaneously because anyone could do that with sufficient speed and experience. Instead, it was his striking them away that bewildered him the most, since this meant that his attacking speed and experience didn't just exceed his men, but his powers and ability in grasping his strength were astounding. Furthermore, it proved a lot that he was able to overpower four soldiers in the Elite Stage.
This young man must be in the Master Stage, or even stronger.
And it was this point that made Tres feel strange and confused.
Tres had investigated on rumors about Rhode especially after the battle during the Midsummer Festival. This young man had defeated Barter, who possessed the strength of the Master Stage, and he had been considered to be in the Legendary Stage. However, Tres snorted disdainfully at this saying because he didn't believe that a human could possess such talent. Not to mention, the emergence of Rhode was all too strange. He was like a meteor that suddenly appeared before everyone, which wasn't logical. At this time, Tres scanned the young man from top to bottom and he didn't detect any grandeur that indicated that he was in the Master Stage, which further supported his judgment. The people of Munn Kingdom must've been bragging about Rhode's strength. Talking about an almost 20 years old powerful being in the Legendary Stage… Hmph, who were you kidding?
But now, Tres didn't find this 'joke' funny anymore.
