Armipotent

Chapter 1728 : One Strike

The Faith and Order was currently resting. Two people were on guard on the tree to ensure they would not get ambushed. Four people were resting right below the tree.

Moonsong was standing on the tree as well, but the distance between them was quite far around five hundred trees. Despite the distance, Moonsong saw them through the dense trees. Meanwhile, the Faith and Order team did not notice another team found them.

The people from The Faith and Order stood up from their seats. They were not afraid if it was a face-to-face fight, but it was different if Moonsong ambushed them. They had seen how fearful Moonsong was, no one could escape from the ambush until now.

Their confidence in their team wavered as Moonsong gestured to his team to move closer to The Faith and Order's team. The heated discussion buzzed since this would be the first time that The Tang Empire encountered a team from the big faction. They expected a fierce fight from The Faith and Order.

On the screen, Moonsong silently approached the six knights in white armor. Everyone thought Moonsong would ambush the knight just like he usually did. To everyone's surprise, Moonsong walked toward the team of six knights without hiding from the watch.

Fifty meters away, the two knights on guard saw Moonsong. The two knights came down from the tree and warned the others.

That was right, Moonsong confronted the Faith and Order's team face-to-face instead of starting with an ambush. The Faith and Order team might not know, but the people who watched from the dome got the message, very clear.

It was a challenge for the Faith and Order's team to fight him head-on. The dome buzzed louder, excited, it was a frontal fight instead of an ambush. If Moonsong decided to ambush, people believed in Moonsong to win the fight. But it would be different if it was a face-to-face fight.

Moonsong identified the Demi-God Rank down to the Epic Rank. He found his target, the knight in the middle.

"We are ordered to kill them, so make sure to kill them before they can surrender!"

Those words were meant for the student on his team. There was one human in their team, and Moonsong doubted the student could kill in a fight.

The main screen zoomed in, showing both teams. The conversation was also transmitted, and everyone in the doom heard Moonsong. Everyone was surprised because Moonsong had never gone for a kill before, but he wanted to kill The Faith and Order's team.

The keywords were ordered to kill, meaning he received an order, not because he wanted to. The order was coming from Tang Shaoyang. Everyone in the dome looked at Tang Shaoyang. It did not take long for them to figure out it might be because of what happened early.

Someone from The Faith and Order asked The Tang Empire to hand over The Emperor's wives. That might be the cause of why The Emperor sent an order to kill the teams from The Faith and Order. It was not that hard to figure out who gave the rabbit beastmen the order. The Emperor sent the message right before the tournament started.

Moonsong's team spread out, surrounding the six knights. Meanwhile, the six knights were unaware of what happened outside. The Faith and Order's people did not dare to mention what happened between them and The Emperor.

"The Tang Empire!?" One of the knights guessed that Moonsong was from The Tang Empire.

They never met before, but there was only one faction that took in beastment and other races into the faction.

The Demi-God Rank knight gestured with his hand to fight. He faced Moonsong, and the others picked their enemy in the same rank. They were not intimidated even after knowing Moonsong was from The Tang Empire.

"I will show you the world what we, humans, should do against a cursed creature like you all! We should exterminate the cursed creature like you so the world will be in peace!"

The Demi-God Rank Knight used his bloodline transformation. A pair of green-feathered wings burst out from his back. His body grew one meter tall, and there was a gentle wind swirling around the knight.

Moonsong smirked when he heard the knight say, "Why don't you look at yourself now? Aren't you one of us now?"

"Shut up, heathens!" The transformed knight bellowed as he pointed his sword at Moonsong. The other knights who had bloodline transformation also activated the skill, following their leader.

Moonsong also activated his bloodline. His fur and hair grew longer as his body grew taller. The fur on his back turned into blue flame, revealing his bloodline that resembled a wolf.

"Kill them all!"

The Demi-God Rank knight bellowed and charged toward Moonsong. The other knights followed their leader and charged to the identified target in the same rank.

With a flick of his wings, the Demi-God Rank knight flew toward Moonsong. It was followed by a strong gale and formed a sharp whirlwind around him. Coming from above, the knight slashed his sword down at Moonsong.

In the face of the fierce attack, Moonsong did not try to dodge or block the attack. The Chief Moon stayed still and caught the sword that was coming toward him with his right hand.

Everyone thought Moonsong was insane by thinking of catching the sword with his bare hand. Just when everyone thought the sword would cut the hand, they found the sword was caught by Moonsong.

The sword cut the hand, but it was merely a superficial cut wound on his palm. The strike cut everything around them. The trees were cut into pieces, the stones were broken apart, and yet it only caused a superficial cut wound on Moonsong's palm.

The eye inside the helmet widened. The knight was also surprised at how his enemy caught his sword. They were supposed to have the same rank. The gap between them was not that big, and he thought the attack would be enough to sever the foul beastmen's hand. Yet his sword was stopped with a barehand. It was an insult and a humiliation for the Demi-God Rank knight.

"I would love to play with you, but I will not give you a chance to surrender!"

Moonsong gripped the sword tightly and pulled the knight toward him. He then grabbed the knight's neck with his left hand and slammed the knight down to the ground.

Boom!

The blue fire spread out when the knight's body was slammed to the ground. It was strong enough to the point the knight lost his grip on his sword.

ARGHH!

The knight spurted out blood that immediately evaporated because of Moonsong's blue fire.

Moonsong spun the sword in his right hand and pointed the sword at the knight's face. The knight grabbed Moonsong's left hand and tried to break free. Once more, he thought he should be able to break free with ease. It was not until he realized that he could not even budge the beastmen's left hand on his neck.

The moment he found out the truth that he was being overpowered by an enemy of the same rank. The sword was already right before his face. His own sword, blazing in the blue flame, went through the gap in his helmet and pierced his head.

The Demi-God Rank knight's body contracted for a moment when the sword pierced his head before stopping and moving right away. The blue flame blazed inside the white armor, burning the body from inside.

The dome was buzzed in excitement because of the anticipation of a fight between the two big factions. They were excited, expecting a fierce and exciting fact, but the result silenced the dome.

The beastmen killed the knight in one strike, not giving a chance for the knight from the Faith and Order to retaliate, struggle, or even surrender.

It was so shocking because they were in the same rank. Even though they favored Moonsong, they thought it would take a lot from Moonsong to kill the Demi-God Rank knight.

Everyone fixated on the screen where Moonsong killed the Demi-God Rank knight. They were greatly shocked by how Moonsong killed the knight. They did not watch what happened to the other knights.

When they snapped out of their shock, they found out that the other knights except for the Epic Rank knight were dead. The beastmen killed their target, leaving the student from the academy still fighting the Epic Rank Knight.

Moonsong pulled out the sword from the ground and threw it at the Epic Rank Knight. The Epic Rank knight had confidence in his team and was wholly focused on his opponent. He did not even realize that his team was dead already until a sword pierced his back, going through to his chest.

The Epic Rank Knight was shocked and looked down at his chest. He recognized the shape of the sword and did not want to believe that his team leader would kill him. The Epic Rank knight turned his head only to realize that he was the only one who was still standing from his team.

He saw his team leader, The Head of Faith Knight burned in the blue flame. The head of Faith Knight was equal to the Vice Leader in other factions. The Vice Leader of his faction was dead, and he could not believe what he saw.

But he could not get the answer to what happened because his vision darkened as his body fell to the ground. The last knight died as well, burnt from the inside. Just like that, a team from a big faction was annihilated by The Tang Empire's team.
