"Arthur is still much younger and hasn't accumulated enough experience. If this continues, he might die from exhaustion."
After a brief moment of shock, many viewers shook their heads.
Although Arthur had great potential, he couldn't defeat Baron Spencer. Alas, he would probably still lose this battle.
As expected, the energy consumption made it harder for Arthur to continue. Additionally, it was getting more difficult to resist the skills Baron Spencer had been practicing.
Arthur knew he was in danger. He desperately prayed in his heart for power.
"[Demonize]!" Lu Yu muttered.
Immediately, the sword glowed with a blood-red light. The light was even more intense compared to the first time!
Instantly, Arthur felt his entire body being filled with demonic power. His eyes turned red, and he looked like a mad demon. Moreover, all his other attributes received a terrifying boost!
After being demonized, his strength gained a significant boost. Just like before, Lu Yu temporarily controlled his spiritual intelligence.
Boom!
Under Lu Yu's control, Arthur released a powerful slash from the sword. Blood-red sword energy exploded on the battlefield!
The attack was near-impossible to block. Baron Spencer, who had just seen the light of victory, quickly raised his spear to block the attack. But after being demonized, Arthur's power had reached a shocking level.
The spear broke into pieces, and the sword stabbed Baron Spencer's forehead. The blade seemed slightly damaged from the clash, but it recovered in the blink of an eye.
Soon after, Lu Yu absorbed Baron Spencer's blood.
[Killed an energy level two transcendent, points +100]
As of now, Lu Yu had already accumulated 700 points.
The powerful Baron Spencer was dead!
The town chief and Verus witnessed everything in front of them. Their mouths were wide open, speechless.
"Baron Spencer was really killed by Arthur? Is this really not a dream?"
All the others were also dumbfounded!
When Arthur disappeared a month ago, he was still a first energy level transcendent. How did he defeat Baron Spencer within such a short time?
This young man's talent was genuinely terrifying.
Some people noticed the light that Lu Yu unleashed at the last moment. They could faintly feel the scary power the sword had.
Everyone had a hunch that the border of the Canglan Empire might undergo a massive change because of this.
On the other hand, Baron Spencer's servants were under shock. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. Some of the servants reacted quickly and began to escape, whilst the townspeople caught the slow ones.
Arthur didn't seem to be finished as he threw Lu Yu out and aimed the sword toward another person. This person was Matthew.
"It's this man who caused everything."
Blood also stained his hands; After all, he was the one who made Baron Spencer attack Arthur's family.
Matthew's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the sword flying toward him from behind.
After finding out Arthur came back, Baron Spencer even challenged him.
That was why Matthew had come over to watch. He wanted to see his enemy die a tragic death by the Baron's hands. Afterward, he would be able to enjoy the joy of being a transcendent without any worries.
But he had never expected for Baron Spencer, who had ruled this region for almost ten years, to be ended by Arthur instead! One month ago, Arthur was still much weaker than Matthew. So what kind of fortuitous encounter helped him gain such power?
Matthew couldn't find an answer to that. However, he understood something when he saw the sword approaching him. It seemed that this sword didn't only suck blood. Additionally, this sword was the one giving Arthur such power and strength!
However, just as he was about to speak, the rapid blood loss in his body silenced him.
[Killed an energy level one transcendent, points +30]
The townspeople hiding in the town were amazed when they saw the situation!
"No way!" The town chief kept shaking his head in disbelief, "This is crazy!"
"Arthur killed Baron Spencer!"
Verus's eyes instantly burst out with strong surprise. "If so, doesn't that mean we aren't oppressed anymore?"
"We can take back our land, livestock, and our houses!"
"Everyone, you can all go home!" Verus stood up and shouted.
Many of the townspeople who were confused finally understood the situation. Baron Spencer, the source of the hell they had gone through, had been killed!
They would be able to return to their houses and take back their fields and livestock. Moreover, they weren't anyone's slaves anymore!
Tears of gratitude flowed out of their eyes as they ran while shouting,
"Arthur!"
"Arthur!"
"Arthur!"
"Arthur! Our hero!"
All the townspeople gathered around Arthur. Arthur was their town's savior, their hero!
Standing at the side, Mayor Hesius paid close attention to the battlefield. Initially, he wanted to come out and reap the benefits when Arthur and Baron Spencer were severely injured. Arthur's overwhelming strength left him dumbfounded.
He wasn't injured at all, even after killing Baron Spencer. Mayor Hesius swallowed his saliva, and cold sweat dripped down his back. Fortunately, he didn't make a move. Otherwise, he would've become a corpse by now.
As for the other spectators from other towns, they couldn't calm down seeing Baron Spencer's corpse. After all, Baron Spencer had never had an opponent in this region for the past ten years. Who would have thought that he would die at the hands of a young man so quickly?
Moreover, the sword in Arthur's hand was too demonic. They had never heard of a technique that could draw blood from a person's body and turn them into a dried corpse with just a tiny wound.
After the cheers of the townspeople calmed down, Arthur walked out from the crowd.
The mayor took advantage of the situation, sided with the nobles, and exploited his own townspeople.
The security chief, who dispatched the security officers to beat up the townspeople and rob their belongings. The two were tied up.
They held stiff expressions and didn't dare to resist. After all, their life and death were in Arthur's hands. If they didn't behave well, they would lose their lives on the spot. Thanks to that, they didn't even dare to breathe.
Verus stood beside Arthur and said, "Although Baron Spencer already died, his family's power is still there. As long as his castle doesn't fall, the other towns will always be under their control."
Arthur nodded.
Baron Spencer had occupied this region for many years.
