'His strength is completely beyond my expectations..'
King thought to himself as he looked at Prince Kratos's mocking look at him...
'But that doesn't matter now...'
Young King began cracking his fingers, neck, and joints while thinking.
'I will use it to refine myself and sharpen my instincts..'
Then he took a fighting stance, his features turning completely serious...
'Either I defeat him or die... there is no other way.'
..
Given the prepared state and serious features taken by the young King, Prince Kratos became serious as well..
'It is true that he is weaker than me...but he makes me feel in danger...underestimating him will destroy me...but I will not lose against him.'
Looking at the prince who had become serious as well
Young King spoke...
"Get ready...my life or yours"
Then suddenly he quickly moved towards Prince Kratos, and it was only a second before he covered the distance between them
At the moment of contact, he threw a straight punch at the prince's chest...
But the prince was ready, opened the palm of his hand, grabbed the young King's fist, and without delay, he threw a side punch towards King's face, who in turn noticed this, so he dodged it, then quickly withdrew his hand from the prince's grip, then struck his elbow towards the prince's face...
Who blocked it with his arm, then threw a knee towards King's stomach, who in turn blocked it with a lower elbow strike, then raised his leg and kicked a side kick towards the prince's stomach...
…
Thus, Prince Kratos and the young King entered into a close fight with fists and kicks...
Defense and attack... Attack and defense...
This caused the audience to look in astonishment and awe.
Simply put, the speed of their attacks was too fast for them to notice even from afar, and in addition to the sound of their attacks hitting each other, which made the spectators a little frightened...
On the side, Duke Darius commented
"Their speed and strength are at the level of the Seven Knights... No wonder the Qi cultivators are the rulers."
…
As for the fight, Prince Kratos and Young King exchanged dozens of attacks within a few seconds...
It may seem to everyone that they are equivalent, but those concerned have a different opinion.
As for Prince Kratos, although he is superior in terms of strength and speed and has no problem defending and repelling the blows of the Young King, he uses his own chi to achieve this.. Although the consumption of chi is balanced, it is still consumed at a clear pace...
..
As for the young King, although he relies on his physical strength to achieve that speed and strength, he always uses a very high percentage of his strength. By continuing to do so, his stamina will decrease at a different rate. Not only that, but because the princess's speed is very fast, he found himself... He struggles to read and anticipate his movements… Only his instincts and instinctive reactions honed through countless battles on Planet Earth allow him to stand firm in close combat with the Golden Core cultivators…
But he knows very well that he cannot continue like this...
Simply because he started to suffer the effects of the accumulated damage from Prince Kratos' attacks...
'This is not good...I must change my strategy'
At that moment, a straight, sloping punch was about to hit him in the chest, but instead of blocking it, he moved his upper torso to the side while using a fluid movement with his hand to divert the path of the prince's fist away from his chest. Then he grabbed him by the wrist while jumping in the air to grab the prince's neck with a pincer movement using his legs. But instead of pulling him to the ground in a submission motion, he used his momentum to move to the side while pulling the prince with him, then used more force in his legs and pulled the prince's head toward the floor...
…
This movement was surprising to the prince, as he had never fought anyone who used this type of movement before... and the moment he realized that his head was about to hit the ground... but quickly and using more chi, he put his free hand in front of him so that it hit the ground first...
'Tsk'
When the young King saw this, he clicked his tongue, but he did not stop... and with a quick movement, he kicked the prince's face, who found himself unable to block or dodge it...
Then, quickly after kicking him, he quickly moved to sit on the prince's back, who was slightly distracted by the kick.
He then clamped the prince's neck in his arms in a choking motion
At the same time, while moving, he had closed the prince's arm that he was holding and twisted it...
"Give me your neck..."
Thus, the prince only had one free hand left...
But he couldn't muster much strength in it because Young Qing had strangled him in his arms with great force...
…
As for the attendees, they were simply amazed...
The first to speak was Duke Darius
"Hell...what's that move?!"
As for Count Hades, he was also stunned, but in the end he smiled mockingly while slamming his hand on his forehead...
..
Unaware of the audience's reactions...Prince Kratos was trying hard to escape from this move, but he found tremendous resistance from the young King...but he found his resistance futile until after a few seconds, while he began to feel his face temperature rise and he feel suffocating and gradually lose consciousness...
…
When he saw the prince in that state...
Duke Darius's features darkened, then he looked at the knight next to him and pointed at him... and the latter simply understood the gesture...
A golden aura emanated from him, then he suddenly disappeared, but then he appeared at a distance of only 10 meters, clashing with the stroke of a sword with the knight Carlos, who suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his path...
Seeing this, the knight gritted his teeth and spoke
"What are you doing, Knight Carlos?!..Are you declaring your rebellion against the royal family or what?!..."
Hearing that, the knight Carlos smiled and replied, "This is not something you or I decide."
…
When he saw his knight being stopped by the knight Carlos, Duke Darius clicked his tongue.
Then he raised his hand to the side with his palm open and suddenly a ball of flame the size of a handball ignited above it...
Duke Darius wanted to throw it towards the young King, but suddenly a dark vortex shadow appeared in front of him, and Count Hades emerged from it, facing him with a smile, speaking.
"What are you trying to do by interfering in a fight between two men..?"
"Count Carlos, you had better explain your actions in trying to stop me to save the Third Prince...Are you declaring your rebellion or what??"
"Ha-ha-ha, you are so rude... You know that I am not interested in any positions or wealth... but."
Here Count Haedes's features turned cold and he spoke with a dark aura surrounding him
"The Third Prince has exaggerated his actions, and I am not a piece of gold for someone from the younger generation to mock me without me doing anything."
Hearing his response, the Duke knew that there was no point in talking.
Suddenly a curtain of flames ignited behind him and then materialized into 7 giant flame balls with a diameter of two meters...
Seeing this, Count Hades spoke
" good good good "
Suddenly the weather turned cold and the temperature of the hall dropped...not because of the cold but because of the dark aura of Count Haedes..
Then a dark aura spread from him like black fog and spread across the earth...
Seeing that things were starting to get chaotic, the audience chose to leave the hall quickly, except for some strong individuals who stayed to watch..
But despite this, no one intervened or took any side... because they were simply weak and knew that they might be killed with just some blind attacks...
