Chapter 1464 - 1157 The So-Called Elites_2

"What’s going on?" the Group Leader asked the person beside him.

At that moment, one of the Emperor’s personal guards walked in: "Your Majesty! Three members of the Imperial Guard are attacking Henki."

"Oh?"

The Emperor glanced at Group Leader Anzong.

"Shall we go and have a look?" the Emperor said.

"Let’s. I’m quite interested to see what this Henki can do against three members of the Imperial Guard."

However, when the Emperor and the Group Leader secretly arrived at the viewing platform, what they were about to see was Long Yi’s two greatswords emitting a deep booming sound!

You’ve finally come!

Long Yi knew that the chaos here would definitely attract the Emperor’s attention. He had intended to show the Emperor his strength and thus get closer to him, and now was the opportunity!

"Doppelganger Slash!"

"It’s here!" the surrounding warriors exclaimed loudly.

And this time, Long Yi had split into three!

Triple Split Slash! This was an advanced skill!

"Be careful, only one of them is real!"

"Instant Slash!"

Bang! All three Henkis vanished then reappeared behind their opponents at the same time!

Swoosh!

Three greatswords swept across, a slash wound opened up on the back of one Imperial Guard soldier, but the other two were unharmed.

The two avatars disappeared, but the only original body shouted once more, "Crescent Slash!"

Boom! A huge crescent-shaped energy beam shot directly towards the back of the recently hit warrior!

"Damn!"

The soldier reacted extremely quickly. Just as the Crescent Slash was about to touch him, he also suddenly performed an Instant Slash, appearing behind Long Yi in an instant!

"Be careful!"

Many watching warriors started to shout.

Crack!

Long Yi didn’t turn around, but instead held the other greatsword behind his back, and the energy sword of the attacking warrior crashed squarely upon the metal greatsword, immediately collapsing. Meanwhile, Long Yi had already turned around by using the momentum of his other hand performing the Crescent Slash and slashed from bottom to top in a reverse grip!

Swoosh!

The arm of the warrior was severed; even the chest armor felt the force of the sword edge’s blast. But he was lucky; he had managed to dodge the vital points while only losing an arm. Had he not been extremely alert and vigilant at all times, he would have been split open from bottom to top!

In a brief clash, three against one, yet it was the one who seemed to have the upper hand! This was something the Imperial Guard, who had come to cause trouble, could not endure.

"The Emperor is watching us," one warrior whispered.

"Shall we leave?" asked another.

"We will leave, but only after achieving victory! As members of the Imperial City’s Imperial Guard, leaving without authorization is already a violation, but if we can’t even win before leaving, then what’s the point of our existence?" said the leading warrior.

"So, we..."

"Kill! Leave no survivors!"

"Hey, hey, deciding the life and death of others just like that, you think I didn’t hear you?" Henki’s honest voice came through, brimming with irony.

"Even if you heard, what can you do? You can’t even leave here alive!"

The three reformed their formation, while the warrior’s lost arm had completely regenerated, thanks to the self-repair ability of energy alloy.

"Actually, when I asked the Group Leader if I could kill you, I was just trying to scare you. But since you’ve decided you want to kill me, I have no choice. I have to kill you for self-defense. Your Majesty above, Group Leader above, you’ve just heard them, this is legitimate self-defense," Henki’s voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

"You all go ahead and fight. I approve this fight to the death!" the Emperor suddenly declared.

A death duel approved by the Emperor himself meant that either side, whoever initiated the killing blow, would have no worries of repercussions. The first to feel excited was not Long Yi but the three Imperial Guard soldiers. They had come here in violation of the rules, planning to quickly resolve the fight and leave before the Emperor noticed. However, they hadn’t expected Henki to be so tricky, dragging the fight out until now. But since the Emperor had now personally sanctioned it, the nature of the situation was different.

The three Imperial Guard soldiers began to slowly close the encirclement. As elite warriors, they had much more combat experience than average soldiers. They had already recognized Henki’s strength and would certainly not attack rashly; instead, they wanted to continuously pressure Henki, forcing him to attack first, as initiating an attack would inevitably create openings. Once an opening appeared, the fight would become manageable.

At that moment, Henki planted one of his greatswords into the ground.

"Actually, I wasn’t planning to use this move, but you three are quite difficult to deal with. No choice, I have to use my trump card."

As Long Yi spoke, he unexpectedly aligned the hilt of one metal greatsword to the other, fusing the two hilts together, forming a double-edged sword. Then, the blade on both sides began to lengthen, gradually becoming thinner. However, the blades started glowing brighter and brighter until, in the eyes of the onlookers, Henki held what looked like a pillar of light in his hand, much more dazzling than any regular energy sword. Moreover, the length had grown to a massive three meters!

Now, Long Yi was wielding a strange weapon with a blade on both ends, the total length exceeding six meters. Such length was actually starting to become inconvenient for battle. Not to mention the likely collisions with various obstacles during ground combat, the increased mass and lever arm would also make the warrior less agile. If a fighter was trained from the start with such a weapon, it might not be a problem. But Henki, originally known as a blockhead who hardly had any mastery over weapons, later started using the metal greatsword—fine, that was acceptable since people have their preferences. Then he displayed proficiency with dual wielding, even gaining the upper hand against his opponents, which was an unexpected surprise. And now, he even intended to use this unconventional weapon?
