Chapter 857: Chapter 269: The Old Man, the Second Solution, Puppet Master (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2

Those words were already very restrained.

The new King of Orlan said this as he turned around, preparing to leave with a few guards.

Normally speaking, I’ve given you a lot of face.

You should give me face in return.

However, unexpectedly, just as they were about to leave, Barre Shepherd said indifferently, “I didn’t want to fight with you. But you shouldn’t be in a hurry to leave.”

...

Hearing this, Arthur turned back sharply, his eyes blazing with rage: “You…”

What do you mean?

I let you off the hook, and even gave you face?

In a burst of rage and after pondering the meaning of those words, he suddenly realized something: Someone is heading for the Silver Moon God Tree!

Damn it!

He had thought this elder didn’t show any intention to start a fight because he didn’t want to offend them, or because he feared a mutually destructive outcome.

But it turned out that it was all about buying time!

If someone were to destroy the Silver Moon God Tree, not only would his efforts to advance to demigod be in vain, but the Silver Moon Sect, which he had just managed to subdue, would also suffer a devastating blow.

The four knights who were his vassals also immediately realized this.

Because at the base of the distant god tree, the fluctuations of a strong fighter’s battle had erupted.

This time, without waiting for King Arthur to speak, the ‘Red Dragon’ Hogan, surrounded by a domain of molten lava, could no longer hold back and said in a deep voice, “Old man, do you know what you’re saying?!”

Since you don’t give respect to the king,

As his protector, I don’t need to be polite either.

“The strongest under the heavens” naturally has an unmatched arrogance that doesn’t acknowledge anyone else.

Hogan was hot-tempered, and even after a preliminary probe, he sensed that the opponent was extremely strong.

But he didn’t think he would lose either.

Saying that, he stood out confidently and said, “Your Majesty, leave this to me!”

I won’t say I can win.

But just as Jones from the Revolutionary Army was able to hold off two of their kings’ knights, he was confident he could hold off this opponent too!

….

“I’ve been underestimated, huh…”

Barre Shepherd muttered this to himself as he looked at Hogan.

He really hadn’t planned on making a move before.

After all, after talking with Merlin, he too felt that the New King of Orlan shouldn’t be killed.

But now, looking at the guy pointing at his nose and cursing at him as “old man,” Barre’s expression turned playful.

‘Red Dragon’ Hogan with an expression that looked down on the elder, scoffed and said, “Since you intend to make a move, this knight requests your guidance!”

As he spoke, his domain fully activated, the sandy ground beneath him-baked by the high temperature-instantly became a flowing stream of searing red magma.

“…”

Upon hearing this, Barre’s languid gaze slightly lifted.

The elder didn’t get angry.

This opponent wasn’t worthy of such a reaction.

It was just that being underestimated by a junior left him a bit speechless.

He said calmly, “If it were an ordinary card master who reached your level, I’d think quite highly of you. But you Orlan Remnants have monopolized the super tier secret skills, and this is all you’ve achieved with them…”

His tone was calm and not loud,

but it struck like a thunderbolt, resounding in everyone’s ears.

No one doubted that the old man was strong.

But they didn’t expect his tone to be so…

Keep in mind, this is the legitimate strongest under the heavens!

Putting aside this title of the strongest under the heavens, would any legendary card master dare say “just this level” in front of them?

However, the following words from Barre shocked everyone so much they couldn’t speak: “Tch tch…The strongest under the heavens? You’re only considered so because you were born in an era that didn’t have me, letting you believe you are quite impressive. In fact, you are just barely passable.”

With these words, his domineering aura was overwhelming!

A single “barely passable” directly judged the strength of his opponent.

How arrogant!

How overbearing!

Only Leonard Churchill knew that while this elder had a bit of a tricky temperament, he certainly possessed the arrogance to back it up.

If you didn’t give the elder face, then the elder would definitely smash your face to pieces!

And, having not shown his “Divine Power,” already Leonard had foreseen this scenario.

He understood the elder’s scheming nature all too well.

Not utilizing Divine Power in the previous block was one thing,

But most importantly, the elder was holding back a surge of eagerness.

This elder had now cultivated his Air Skill to a degree where he “kept the sharpness within,” typically not revealing his air mechanism.

But how could he resist the itch to fight after decades without an opponent?

Leonard knew.

A century ago, this elder was already this boastful.

This kind of character is imprinted in the soul and will never change even with old age.

The older he got, the more naturally he played the part.

Having heard others say that Hogan was the “strongest under the heavens” twenty years ago, Leonard knew this guy was about to be punished.

…

‘Red Dragon’ Hogan hadn’t yet realized what sort of opponent he was facing, and as he heard this, his complexion instantly darkened: “Hmph, then let me witness it for myself!”

Ever since becoming a card master, he had overwhelmed his peers of the same tier at every stage, a genius through and through.

No one had ever dared to be so arrogant in front of him before.

The words had hardly left his mouth when Hogan prepared to launch an offensive.

But at this moment, he heard a response by his ear, “Very well, since you wish to witness, then I’ll let you witness.”

Simultaneously, Hogan’s complexion drastically changed!

The voice was still by his ear, yet in just an instant, the reflection of the elder’s figure appearing merely a meter away flashed in Hogan’s eyes!

“Not good!”

Hogan felt a chilling sense of deadly oppression that made his hair stand on end, and his moves switched from offense to defense: “Spell·Melting Shield!”

Instantly, a layer of flowing magma covered the surface of his body, formed by the fire and earth dual attribute law of his catastrophic-tier domain.

This shield, not only possessed great force dissipation properties but also had a high counterattack effect.
