Transcendent Dawn

“Who are you?”

A satiated Su Lu stood up, looking at the man who had pursued him last night.

“I am the chief swordmaster of the court, the Violet Viscount, the Lord of the Roland Knight Regiment, the sword-holder… Edward Livingston! Remember this name, for it will be the one to defeat you.”

Edward pointed with the tip of his sword towards the gate, “Come on out, or do you think it’s more convenient for you to fight here?”

“After you!”

Su Lu stepped forward and found a horde of red-robed soldiers, with the wizard Erik in the center.

“A wizard?”

“The chief mage of the court, you can call me Erik! Young wizard!” Erik grinned, “Which school are you from?”

He wondered if Su Lu was a student of an acquaintance.

“I’m from… the Arrogant School!”

A hint of a smile crept onto the corner of Su Lu’s mouth.

After advancing to fourth stage and acquiring the Flicker Skill, there’s practically nothing in this world that could stop him. Naturally, he was going to make a name for himself and promote his faction’s reputation at the same time.

“Arrogant?!”

Erik looked puzzled, and slowly shook his head, “Sir Edward, please proceed, no one will disturb you.”

At a command from him, the surrounding soldiers instantly made way.

“Shall we get started then?”

After yawning, Su Lu conjured up his lightless Demon-Hunting dagger.

“Ready! Be careful, I’ll be using my Sealing Sword Technique·Iron Curtain from the start! Your aerial maneuvers won’t do you any good.”

Edward wore a faint smile.

However, the very next moment, his smile turned into a look of horror.

Because Su Lu had blinked, his silhouette disappeared, and in an instant, he was behind Edward. He gently presented his dagger – without any trace of aggressiveness – and pressed it against Edward’s throat: “You talk too much.”

“Just now…”

“What just happened? Did I see things?”

“Astounding speed, no… it’s similar to the effect of a space manipulation spell!”

The field fell deathly silent.

After a while, the surrounding soldiers all rubbed their eyes as if they had seen an illusion.

Erik, on the other hand, felt a chill in his heart. It was as if he had seen his nemesis!

For wizards who are strong in offense but weak in defense, assassins who excel in close-quarter combat are like natural nightmares. Such as Su Lu, who had mastered a teleportation ability, is the absolute counter!

“I…I lost!”

Edward looked at the departing Su Lu and his half-swing sword, his face turned red: “Alright… you can brag about this in the tavern now. You defeated the Kingdom’s number one swordsman when he was caught off guard!”

“I can see that you are not convinced. Do you want another round?”

Su Lu, about ten meters away, asked further.

“Of course!”

Edward vigorously nodded. This time, he didn’t waste any time. Golden and silvery Fighting Qi erupted from his body, and his sword formed an Iron Curtain around him.

“Sword Technique·Defense·Iron Gate!”

This was an enveloping technique that concealed him within layers of sword screens.

Edward stared intently at Su Lu: “Here it comes!”

A dangerous aura alerted him to Su Lu’s imminent move.

Sure enough, Su Lu disappeared from the spot in the next second, teleporting behind Edward.

Those layers of Iron Curtains were unable to obstruct him.

“Behind!”

Edward roared. His Fighting Qi surged like a golden lion. With both hands wielding the sword, he forcefully spun around as if the tip of the sword was the lion’s fang.

Crack!

However, this confident and precise strike still ended up hitting nothing but the air.

Bang!

Su Lu performed a second teleportation, still standing behind Edward, his dagger thrusting out.

Even though Edward was protected by his Fighting Qi armor, in Su Lu’s eyes, this defense was not particularly superior.

Just putting a little bit of force into his hand, he shattered Edward’s defense. The dagger penetrated the soft armor and landed on Edward’s back, “Second time… How about it? Want a third time?”

Su Lu laughed, feeling that using teleportation to bully people had a somewhat cheating flavor.

After mastering this skill, any creature with weak physique would have a hard time resisting his assassination.

Besides, he himself also possessed enough strength, and the Demon Hunting dagger was a marvel of high order.

The combination of these will undergo a horrifying metamorphosis.

At least, when he looked at Erik, the chief court mage had already unconsciously retreated two or three steps, with the muscles on his face stiffened, and an ugly smile appeared.

Inwardly, he was cursing incessantly: ‘Damn … where did this monster come from?’

He now deeply regretted following the advice of that palace messenger to help Felitlin III trace the assassin.

Who would have thought that at the end of the investigation, it would lead to such a terrifying person?

Edward was close to being a golden knight, with reactions and physical actions nearing the peak of this world at this time. Yet, he was unable to block the opponent’s spatial assault, let alone him.

If the other party intends to slaughter wizards, most wizards are likely to meet a fate of certain death, or they might barely survive by using their transplantation bloodline to obtain instantaneous spell-like abilities, but the outcome wouldn’t be pretty.

“No … no more!”

Edward withdrew his longsword with a soulless look: “Why were you like that last night …”

In just one night, how could he seem like a completely different person?

He couldn’t help but doubt whether the person who entered the palace last night was the same guy.

“Indeed, it was me, but I’m not an assassin!”

Su Lu said arrogantly: “If I wanted to kill, even Felitlin III couldn’t escape!”

Although he boasted a lot, Edward felt that Su Lu was not bragging.

But…

“Cough cough …”

Erik gave a cough: “At this kind of occasion, discussing regicide, isn’t that inappropriate, Master Su Lu?”

“Oh? You recognize me?”

Su Lu glanced at him with slight surprise.

“No, I just saw the warrant received from the North Territory, and I thought you looked…very similar.”

Erik answered nervously, feeling a bit embarrassed.

He and Edward were commanded to come and capture the assassin. Now this situation…What to do? So many soldiers are watching!

“Oh, so you are the Duke of Wolf Fort!”

Su Lu shrugged his shoulders: “When I have time, I’ll go to the Northern land to visit him.”

Those who play politics with nobles must be crazy if they think they have the power at the top of the world.

What he wanted to do was to flip the table!

Whoever dared to provoke him, he’d flip the table and behead the opponent’s leader directly!

It’s simple and rough, but very effective!

At least Erik and Edward both, cold sweat seeped onto their forehead.

In the Kingdom of Dragon, how many years have passed since a dukedom was assassinated?

The key point is that this guy seemed to be able to do it.

“By the way… are you here to arrest me?”

Su Lu looked at the surrounding soldiers with a teasing expression.

“No, no… they’re just my followers. We just came here for a contest! It was my idea!”

Edward hastily said.

“Oh, then I’ll go to the palace.”

Su Lu obviously didn’t believe him, he looked towards the palace, his figure instantly disappeared.
