"Very good, very good!"
Seeing Guhan holding the Heavenly Sword and facing him, Durandal's eyes revealed a hint of praise.
"Facing a strong opponent, you can bravely raise your Sword Maiden. Just this point alone shows that you are a very good seedling. Perhaps in the future, you will be able to shoulder the burden of the human race and become a brave knight!" Durandal said expectantly.
This expectation was not mixed with any impurities. It was an expectation of Guhan's courage. This showed that Durandal was indeed a true knight who took the life and death of the human race as his own responsibility.
"Many thanks for Sir Paladin's praise!"
Gu Han bowed to express his gratitude. Paladin was the honorific that the humans had for Durandar. Although there were countless Yuanying who called themselves Paladins in the camp, but among the humans, there was only one true Paladin, and that was Durandar.
"You are a human with potential, and this subject does not wish to cause too much harm to you.
Now, hand over the Emperor Sword in your hand to this subject, and this matter will end here. This subject swears in the name of a knight that this subject Durandal owes you a favor. "
"Heavens, Sir Paladin is actually using a favor to exchange with him." One of the onlookers exclaimed.
"That's right, Sir Paladin is truly a noble and respectable knight. It is clearly something easily obtainable, but he still chose to make a fair exchange. This is truly a great Sword Maiden!"
"This Guhan really struck it big this time. He actually obtained a favor from Durandal. Isn't he afraid of nothing now?"
All of the onlookers spoke one after another. From their conversations, it was clear that they were already standing on Durandal's side … Durandal was clearly using the identity of an Immortal Sword Maiden to bully a Treasure Sword Grade swordsman.
However, it must be admitted that Durandal's favor was indeed something precious. This was not a favor that ordinary people spoke of. As long as this favor was not harmful, did not violate justice, and did not involve the interests of the human race … Even if this favor was beyond the scope of Durandal's ability, Durandal would still repay this favor at all costs.
To be honest, compared to handing over the Emperor's Sword to the Sword Pavilion for safekeeping after returning to Yuzhang, getting Durandar's favor was actually more cost-effective. If he was really smart, he would have agreed to Durandar's request.
Unfortunately, such a favor was not what Guhan wanted at all.
Therefore, Guhan shook his head firmly and said, "Lord Paladin, I have already reached an agreement with the person behind you. As long as you defeat me, you can obtain this Emperor's Sword. Apart from that, there is no other way."
"Good, very good!"
Seeing Guhan's attitude, Durandal couldn't help but nod her head repeatedly. She was starting to like this straightforward young man who wasn't intimidated by difficulties and wasn't confused by benefits. If only this person was a Londoner, she would definitely pull Guhan into her Holy Light Knights.
"Since you have chosen to fight, then this subject will go all out to bestow upon you the glory of a Knight!"
The so-called glory of an all-out Knight meant that Durandar would go all out in this upcoming battle. She would use her strongest strength to give Gu Han a glorious defeat that would be worthy of bragging.
That's right, whether it was a human or a Swordmistress, to be defeated by Durandar's all-out attack was undoubtedly something to be proud of.
This shows that Durandar has fully recognized your strength. She views you as an opponent who can stand on equal footing with her. What a great glory!
Hearing Durandal's words, the surrounding onlookers revealed even more envious and jealous looks. Being able to lose to Sir Durandal's full strength attack, this human could be said to be completely famous. Durandal had never used his full strength against a Sword Grade Sword Wielder before!
This was really too lucky.
Unfortunately, at this time, Guhan didn't feel that he was lucky at all. In fact, he was even regretting that he was too arrogant. If he had shown a little bit of fear just now, Durandar might not have gone all out. If that was the case, his chances of winning would have been even higher!
That's right, even if he was facing an Immortal Sword Bearer, Guhan still felt that he had a chance of winning. Because the Durandar in front of him was not the real Durandar, but just a projection formed by borrowing Long Shi Jiandi's power.
This was a unique method of Jiandi. He could use his own power to form a power seed, and then let this power seed establish a connection with one of his Swordmistresses.
A power seed like this was also called a Swordmistress Clone.
This Swordmistress Clone could be stored in a specific container. Once the container was crushed, the Swordmistress Clone would instantly transform into the appearance of the Swordmistress who had established a connection with the power seed, forming something similar to a clone.
Producing such a power seed consumed a lot of Jiandi's power. Even Jiandi could only produce one power seed in half a year. Moreover, Jiandi couldn't use it himself and could only hand it over to others.
Generally speaking, Sword Emperors would give this kind of seed to their closest people to protect their safety in times of danger or to carry out some kind of special task. For example, right now, it was used to snatch the Empress Sword from Gu Han's hands.
From this, it could be seen that Long Shi Jiandi had invested a lot in this. Long Shi Jiandi had become Jiandi for less than five years, and the number of Swordmistress Clones in his hands was less than ten. Using one of them on Guhan, it could be said that he had invested a lot.
However, it was precisely because this was a Swordmistress Clone that Guhan felt that he still had a chance to defeat her.
As a clone, its power naturally couldn't be as terrifying as the main body. Generally speaking, a Swordmistress Clone only had about one-third of the main body's power … one-third of the power of an Immortal sword rank Swordmistress … In this way, Durandal's power had been reduced from the peak of Immortal sword rank to the level of an ordinary Immortal sword rank.
After mastering the Green Onion Stone, Guhan had a clear understanding of the entire trial formation.
This trial formation limited the strength of a treasured sword wielder to the level of a treasured sword wielder. However, Durandar, who was an immortal sword wielder, had entered. This was a serious violation of the rules set by the Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor.
As one of the strongest Jiandi in history, Zhe Tian Jiandi had set up a spirit formation with all his might.
Even if the main body of an Immortal sword rank Swordmistress came, she wouldn't be able to gain any advantage, let alone this was just a Swordmistress Clone.
Therefore, under Guhan's control, all the power of the entire trial formation was concentrated here and began to suppress Durandal.
…
"This is the power of Zhe Tian Jiandi!"
Durandal, who was standing opposite Guhan, suddenly frowned. She felt a suffocating power pressing down on every inch of her body.
As a Swordmistress who had fought continuously for a thousand years, Durandal had ample experience in all kinds of situations. She immediately understood that this was the power of the trial formation suppressing her. Because she had violated the rules of the trial formation, the trial formation was now beginning to retaliate.
Durandal's guess was very accurate. This was indeed the trial formation's retaliation. However, she definitely didn't expect that this retaliation was actually in the hands of Guhan … and under Guhan's deliberate control, the entire trial formation's power was beginning to suppress her.
"I feel like I can't breathe …" Durandal's body suddenly trembled. It wasn't the trembling of a physical body, but rather a distorted trembling caused by a bad television signal.
Durandal's body was originally a doppelganger formed from a Power Seed, so it didn't have its own physical body. Therefore, it wasn't strange for it to distort like this.
"No, I can't fight against Zhe Tian Jiandi here …" Durandal was finally suppressed by the trial formation's power. She began to take the initiative to seal her own power, and in the end, she was only left with the power of a Sword Bearer. Only then did the trial formation's suppression suddenly disappear.
"Sure enough, only Sword Bearers are allowed to appear here!"
Durandal shook her head. It wasn't that she felt that she wouldn't be a match for Guhan after becoming a Sword Bearer. Even if she fell to Ancient Sword Bearer, with her experience and skills, Durandal was still confident that she could ruthlessly suppress Guhan.
What she was worried about was that she wouldn't be able to fulfill her promise to use her full strength.
"I'm sorry, because of the suppression of the trial formation, this subject can't use his full strength. I can only fight you with Sword Bearer strength. I'm sorry!"
Durandal sighed, then bowed to Guhan, apologizing for going back on her words. She didn't feel that her status as an Immortal Sword Bearer was very noble.
"A real Knight?"
Seeing Durandal bow to him, Guhan felt touched in his heart. He loudly said to Durandal, "Sir Paladin, please don't take it to heart. Sooner or later, this subject will have an all-out battle with your main body. At that time, please don't hold back."
"Good, this subject will wait for the day you become an Immortal Sword Bearer!"
Durandal nodded, and with a horizontal slash of the sword in her hand, a powerful pressure burst out from Durandal's body. Except for a few people, almost all the onlookers were crushed to the ground by this gust of wind … Even if she was restricted to Sword Bearer, Durandal's strength was not something that ordinary sword bearers could withstand.
"I'm also looking forward to this day. At that time, I will definitely defeat you fair and square!"
Guhan said to himself. At the same time, his figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Durandal … Guhan took the initiative to attack.
… …
Ten minutes later.
"Heavens, this person has actually been fighting with Sir Paladin for so long!"
On the stage, the battle between Gu Han and Durandar was still going on. The spectators below the stage were all dumbfounded, especially the people from London. The Paladin in their hearts had already been fighting with Gu Han for a full ten minutes. Every single move and every single move had been exchanged for ten minutes.
