Chapter 74 - Fighting Against the Knight

The trial tournament continued. However, during the tournament, Chen Heng's reputation grew louder and louder, and his name was shouted by countless people. His fighting style was very distinctive. From the beginning until now, he had always ended battles at an extremely fast speed, and the whole process was as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water. During the battles, he hadn't encountered some opponents who were also knights. Of course, these people were not real knights but just knight apprentices. These knight apprentices came from a wide range of sources. There were those under Oriman's command and also from various noble families. They came to participate in this trial tournament with different purposes. Among the relatively large number of knight apprentices, there were also some powerful ones. However, facing Chen Heng, all these knight apprentices were defeated. Even the most powerful among them were no match for Chen Heng and were directly defeated neatly by him. In just a few days, time passed quickly. Soon, Chen Heng welcomed his final opponent. Duranuo, who came from the Kingdom of Oris. Duranuo was a knight from the Kingdom of Oris. This time, he was participating in the tournament on behalf of Prince Griss. In fact, many people, including Chen Heng, knew clearly the purpose of this knight's participation. It was nothing more than to undermine Oriman's reputation. The trial tournament was a platform to display martial prowess and also an opportunity. Neither Oriman nor Griss would let it pass. Moreover, from the perspective of simply disrupting the opponent's plan, the more Oriman wanted to achieve something, the less Griss would allow her to succeed. With this purpose in mind, he sent Duranuo. "Some trouble..." Looking at the middle-aged knight who appeared below, a middle-aged man sighed softly. This time, not only Oriman and others but also the nobles of the Kingdom of Kutu like Carey came to the trial tournament. And the one who spoke at this moment was a middle-aged man sitting beside Carey. "Father..." Sitting beside the middle-aged man and looking at the middle-aged man who had already appeared below, Carey couldn't help but say, "Why did Her Highness ask Kelin to fight?" "She doesn't know..." "I don't know Her Highness's thoughts either, but it's probably just those few possibilities." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Perhaps Her Highness didn't want another knight to be defeated by him and have his reputation damaged." "Sending Knight Kelin to fight, although he will surely lose, Knight Kelin is not really a knight yet. Even if he loses, it doesn't matter." "After all, this is to fight a truly powerful knight as a squire knight. Even if he loses, it's not shameful." He guessed like this. "But in this way, Kelin..." Carey sighed and looked at Chen Heng who appeared from the other side below, and couldn't help but feel a bit worried. On the square, Chen Heng was riding a horse and gradually appeared from the other side. He slowly walked to the center and looked at the knight opposite him. In front of him was a very distinctive knight. From the appearance, he was a knight who looked like a middle-aged man. He was wearing a leather armor, and his face was swarthy, full of dense scars. His eyes were sharp, like an eagle, making people instinctively feel in awe and fear. Just from his aura, he was quite extraordinary. Looking at this man, Chen Heng's face was calm, and information about the other party emerged in his mind. Duranuo, he was one of the knights of the Kingdom of Oris, and in the Kingdom of Oris, he also belonged to the top knights. According to the intelligence, this knight had more than once had the experience of defeating other knights head-on. In terms of real combat strength, he was probably even stronger than Medel in the past. No wonder Oriman would try to send Chen Heng to fight. The rules of the trial tournament didn't allow harming the lives of the participants. Even if Chen Heng lost, as long as he surrendered in time, there would be no problem. Moreover, for him, a newly promoted knight, he didn't need to defeat Knight Duranuo. He just needed to hold on for a period of time in the hands of Knight Duranuo and fight a bit more splendidly, and that would be enough. He was just a newly promoted knight, and others wouldn't be so harsh on him. Even if he lost, they would praise his talent and youth and wouldn't say anything about his defeat. After all, it was reasonable for a newly promoted knight to be defeated by a famous and established knight, and there shouldn't be any harshness. And for Oriman, even if Chen Heng lost, others would only say that Princess Oriman had another powerful knight genius under her command and wouldn't say anything else. This was the advantage of being young and having little seniority. However, for Chen Heng, it would be best to win this battle. Although it didn't matter if he lost, after all, losing was losing, and it couldn't compare to the prestige brought by victory. And this prestige was exactly what Chen Heng needed. "Enough of the nonsense." In front, Duranuo said flatly, "Let's start directly." "Let me see how much strength you really have." Chen Heng didn't say much and just nodded. Simultaneously, their warhorses began to accelerate and gradually charged forward. Bang!! The next moment, the long swords slashed down at the same time, collided in mid-air, and made the sound of metal clashing. Facing Duranuo, a real knight, Chen Heng didn't use the lance anymore and directly drew his long sword. The long sword was swung and slashed down in an instant, and terrifying power poured down. "You!" Feeling the power coming from Chen Heng's hand, Duranuo immediately changed his expression. He could clearly feel the power coming from Chen Heng. That power was so terrifying and powerful that it was far beyond the level that ordinary knight apprentices could reach. Even compared with him, it was not inferior at all. Suddenly, he noticed something. "Understood?" In front, Chen Heng's voice rang out and echoed at this moment. "It's a pity it's a bit late." After his words fell, Chen Heng bent his body slightly and exerted force in a unique posture. The silver long sword in his hand slashed down fiercely, as if it was thrown down. That power was so terrifying that it roared in mid-air, like a gust of strong wind blowing. Bang!! Duranuo's figure quickly retreated backwards. At this moment, due to his initial carelessness, he was directly at a disadvantage and was tightly suppressed by Chen Heng. The strong wind raged. On the square, the two figures collided with each other and made fierce noises at this moment. Obviously, the battle had just begun, but they seemed to have already entered a fierce fight and were engaged in the most violent battle. The long swords were swung, and power exploded directly in the movements. Any casual move, if it hit an ordinary person, would be enough to tear the ordinary person's body apart and turn it into pieces. And during their fight with each other, dots of white light were flashing on their long swords, which was the life energy being active.
