European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 157 Another Showdown
"Your Excellency York, please stop." The two riders caught up with York who was walking, and stopped him at once.

York was startled at first, and when he came to his senses, he didn't recognize the two of them. Li Peijun looked at his slightly stout figure up close, and the originally tight muscle lines were also loose, and he thought he had recognized the wrong person.

"Don't you recognize us? We competed with you in Compiègne before." Li Peijun probably couldn't remember him, so he reminded him a few words.

York suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the two of you. Oops, now you are so majestic. Your handsome skin is hidden in thick armor, but you can't see my eyes." He picked up his belly again while joking, and put The fat that was squeezed out of the pants was stuffed back.

After a few simple greetings, Li Peijun asked the question he was most concerned about: "Do you know where Leah is? It's your little follower from before."

York laughed loudly and said, "He, didn't he save you earlier? Then he thought about burning the army grain depot, but I found out, and executed him on the spot."

"What? Dead?" Suddenly, an unknown fire surged in his heart, and his hand unconsciously placed on the hilt of the sword.

"You've finished asking. Now it's my turn to do my business." Tidel put a hand in front of him and shouted to York: "Let's duel, a standard knight swordsmanship test. I want to do it this time." win you."

York shrugged, "You can live a comfortable life, but why do you have to fight? Things like glory are empty."

Tiedle couldn't let him say anything, and directly blocked York's way with his sword, "No matter what you think, you can't escape this duel, and if you don't compete, you will have to compete."

York sneered and said: "What a big tone. Since you want to lose again, I have no choice but to help you."

The two made an appointment to compete in a sparsely populated place in the outskirts. It was common for nobles in the Middle Ages to fight each other, and there was no big lord to curb this trend.On the contrary, this custom has been preserved from generation to generation as a fine tradition.

"Be careful, this guy has a lot of tricks, don't be at a disadvantage, I'll keep an eye on the attendant next to him, you just need to concentrate on dealing with York." Li Peijun kindly reminded him a few words.

Tiedle responded calmly: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, don't you want revenge too, I'll help you by the way."

The two opened their posture on the natural earth, the duel rules followed the noble practice, life and death depend on fate.

The burly Tiddell took the lead in attacking. The self-made sword made the attack method no longer limited to stabbing, and the head-on was a powerful slash. York held the sword horizontally and withstood the high-pressure attack.

"It seems to have improved a lot. It's very powerful." York struggled a bit, and didn't maintain a blocking posture.

Tiedle's center of gravity was moved forward by the inertial belt generated by the forward pressure, but he quickly adjusted back. The two sides paced back and forth and looked at each other. Tiddle saw the opportunity and launched an offensive again.

"Kang Bao"

Tiedle's steel epee and York's gemstone embroidered sword intertwined. Under the tremendous force, a dent was vaguely torn on the thin blade of the embroidered sword.

"This..." Seeing that the situation was not good, York did not hold on to the end, but flexibly dodged to the other side, avoiding the next round of attacks.

Without giving the opponent too much time to react, Tiedle raised his sword and made a half-moon cross cut without any dead ends, forcing the opponent to react.

York was not one to wait for nothing, he took advantage of the volley to stop Tiddell's offensive, and instead took advantage of the situation to turn defense into offense, stabbing with the tip of his sword to continuously try to break through the defense.

"Didn't this guy, Tiddell, only use brute force before? Now he's playing tricks." Li Peijun watched the battle silently from the side, watching Tiddell's operation, and said with emotion in his heart.

Tidel did not choose to have a contest of strength and speed with the opponent. After blocking a few times, he deliberately used a flaw and deliberately exposed the position of his chest to York, luring the opponent to take the bait.

York didn't know it was a trick. In order to seize this fleeting opportunity, York thrust his sword hastily, intending to give the opponent a heavy blow.

Tiedle was not prepared. In fact, he didn't intend to take any defensive measures. Instead, he raised his sword head-on and stabbed towards the opponent's chest.

"Is this guy crazy?" Li Peijun secretly shouted that it was not good. If this continues, it will most likely be a lose-lose scenario. Losing a general for no reason will be a huge loss to the great cause of unification in the future.

There was only a muffled sound, and the blood from the chest spurted along the sharp blade and soaked the entire armor red. The blades of both sides seemed to have penetrated directly into the other's chest, but only one of them was hit by the sword.

"It's over, I'm the winner." With a smile on his face, Tiedle held the sword tightly and pushed it deeper. Then he drew back suddenly and let go of the blade he was holding tightly in his left hand.

Li Peijun breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the bewildered attendants beside him, Li Peijun yelled: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you go and collect your master's body."

"It feels so good to get revenge. It feels like the lost glory has been recovered." After Tiddell won the duel, he happily inserted the blade back into the scabbard.

Li Peijun looked at the deep sharp wound on his left hand and said helplessly: "I thought you had some strange move, but it turned out that you just planned to trade lives with the opponent. You used your left hand to hold the opponent's incoming sword, and you took advantage of the opportunity to fight back with your right hand. Others, if it weren't for the fact that the sword I made is one finger longer than an ordinary sword, you would be the one who would die."

Tidel calmly tore off a small piece of leather from his shawl, bandaged the wound on his hand, and said disapprovingly: "This is also a dangerous move. Besides, if I hadn't known that the sword you made was more powerful than an ordinary sword, Sir, I won’t choose this method anymore.”

Li Peijun rolled his eyes contemptuously, and he really couldn't refute, "Because it's still early, you should get back to Hafleur before dark. You should disinfect your wound to avoid infection."

Tiedle refused righteously: "The blood of a knight is extremely pure and holy, and does not need to be washed and purified by God."

"I'm not bleeding you, I'm treating the wound, understand? There are a lot of parasites in summer, and it won't be good if you get infected." Li Peijun argued.

"Parasites? What are they? Like silkworms?" Tiddell was puzzled by this. After all, people nowadays still don't know much about their own body structure, and the concept of parasites will not exist until biology develops. clearer understanding.

"A kind of thing that is too small to be seen by the naked eye can get into your body." Li Peijun couldn't say too many technical terms, so he had to give a general explanation.

"It's terrible, hurry up, I don't want a few dirty spots to suddenly appear on my incomparably holy body." Tiddell became anxious after realizing it, urging himself to hurry back on the road.

The two-day itinerary was originally planned, but in fact it was only a one-day round-trip, and the things he had been obsessed with all along were finally over. Li Peijun was finally able to devote himself wholeheartedly to Hafleur's expansion.

　Although this pit was not well filled, it was finally filled in. Looking back now, the content of the first volume is actually not well written, and there is not so much time to change it. Thank you for your support. There are no recommendations in the new week. Continue to stand alone silently
