Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 156 The Test of the Holy Grail Knight
"Come, young knight! Speak with your sword! Defeat me! Gain the honor of guarding the Holy Grail!"

The Holy Grail Knight's eyes were wide open, his voice was as loud as a lion's, and he had the same majestic and brave aura as a lion.

"……Wait a mininute."

Wen Lie was silent for a moment and put his sword aside.

The sword in the hands of the Holy Grail Knight is obviously the real Durandal. If he had not returned to his youth, Wen Lie could still use this replica to have a knight duel with him.

However, to defeat the Holy Grail Knight who has returned to his peak state, he must use all his strength.

The Holy Spear, Spear of Longinus, was drawn from behind. Wen Lie rooted his feet into the ground and pointed the Spear of Destiny at the Holy Grail Knight.

"Fight, knights guarding the Holy Grail."

How far is the gap between him, a fourth-order beginner who is not restrained by anything, and a strong man like that?

A happy smile appeared on Wen Lie's face. What a test of the soul! He was hesitating and thinking about so many things. Wasn't he tired? Only a refreshing battle could make his body feel better.

"boom!"

The golden spear light tore through the space of the stone chamber. The spear of destiny thrust forward without any hesitation. The sharp tip of the spear could pierce through everything, including confusion.

The silver-grey holy sword cut through the atmosphere, roaring like a lion. The mighty slash was unstoppable. It spanned seven hundred years of sword strikes, carrying the will of the Holy Grail Knights who had held on for seven hundred years.

The Holy Lance and the Holy Sword clashed violently, sparks flew, two enormous forces contended with each other, and golden and silver light filled the stone chamber.

However, the battle between the two men was enough to destroy the mountains, but could not shake this spacious stone chamber. The divine power turned the stone chamber into an indestructible training ground. Neither Wen Lie's holy spear nor the knight's holy sword could cause damage to the stone chamber.

This also provided convenience for the two of them, allowing them to let go and work hard without worrying about destroying the Holy Grail.

As the saying goes, an inch longer is an inch stronger. Wen Lie, who uses the Holy Spear as a weapon, naturally has an advantage in distance.

However, a large attack range means a slow attack speed. There will always be some time gaps between each thrust and the retraction of the gun.

Of course, Wen Lie's spear skills will never disappoint his training and Jacob's brothers.

The Spear of Destiny shot out as swiftly as lightning and swung and swept like a strong wind. His superb spearmanship had surpassed that of ordinary people and reached the level of a fourth-level strongman.

The Holy Grail Knight's swordsmanship was simple and unpretentious. Facing Wen Lie's fierce attack like a storm, he just seized those few gaps, steadily shortened the distance step by step, and repeatedly deflected the spear's continuous attacks.

But even if you are an excellent knight, it doesn't mean you can naturally block all gunfire, not to mention that the Holy Grail Knight is not in good condition.

Although his body has returned to its youthful state, this battle is the first one fought in seven hundred years!

This knight hasn't fought an evenly matched battle in seven hundred years!

Seven hundred years ago, he was an excellent ripple warrior. Through the power of the Holy Grail, he became a mass-produced fourth-level strongman. At that time, he was full of vigor and ambition. Now, he... Although he doesn't have the strength to swing a sword like in the movie, he is not a true fourth-level strongman either.

This Holy Grail Knight was stronger than Wen Lie, but his strength was limited, especially in terms of martial arts. Several thrusts of the Holy Lance passed by the side of the Holy Sword and pierced the Holy Grail Knight's body.

However, this is not a serious disadvantage for the Holy Grail Knight.

His wounds healed quickly, his combat experience increased rapidly, and his strength began to recover to the level of seven hundred years ago.

Upon realizing this, Wen Lie exhaled a hot breath and pushed the Ripple Qigong to its limit, using explosive techniques. His body was under a huge load, and his skin and muscles gradually broke down.

The Spear of Destiny whipped up a storm, unleashing a cannonball-like thrust. The Holy Grail Knight's slash split the storm, deflecting the Spear of Destiny. The blade that struck Wen Lie even pierced the Holy Scripture's defenses, giving Wen Lie a close-up taste of death. The slashes from both sides intertwined like spirals, fleeting like sparks. A single distraction would mean someone's heart was pierced or their head severed.

However, the Holy Grail Knight's sword strikes were steady, and Wen Lie's spearmanship was impeccably precise.

Every shot is a fatal attack, there are no unnecessary movements, and every move is calculated precisely. He is even ruthless enough to use his own body to expose flaws, ranging from minor injuries to serious injuries, in exchange for a fatal counterattack.

This is a desperate tactic. When facing a strong opponent, there is no other way to seize the chance of victory except to risk your life.

However, the Holy Grail Knight had no intention of taking advantage of the flaw, and his steady slash was full of upright spirit.

Didn’t you find any flaws?
Wen Lie deliberately widened the wound and launched a fierce attack at the same time. The spear tip slashed across the arm of the Holy Grail Knight. The Holy Grail Knight used his powerful arm strength to block the spear tip with the holy sword.

Gradually, Wen Lie understood one thing.

The Grail Knight had no intention of killing.

This is a challenge, a test, but not a fight. The purpose of the Holy Grail Knight is to verify whether Wen Lie has the power to protect the Holy Grail in a fair confrontation, not to kill Wen Lie.

It’s a very simple logic. If Wen Lie dies, who can guard the Holy Grail in his place?
What Wen Lie needs to do is to show his strength to the Holy Grail Knight in an upright manner, rather than seize the opportunity to kill the Holy Grail Knight.

After understanding this, Wen Lie calmed down and stopped thinking about risking his life. He just tried his best to display his skills.

With repeated clashes, sparks flying and weapons clashing, a violent storm was generated.

Amidst the flashes of swords and the shadows of guns, the two men fought fiercely. Wen Lie, without any worries, displayed his gun skills to the fullest.

Although Wen Lie was much inferior to the Holy Grail Knight in terms of his normal strength without using the holy weapon, the Holy Grail Knight was unable to suppress Wen Lie with his Jacob-style fighting skills, and the fight between the two was difficult to determine.

Suddenly, the power of the Grail Knight began to decrease.

Wen Lie was not careful for a moment, and the spear he thrust out pierced through the Holy Grail Knight's abdomen. The golden light evaporated the flesh and blood, leaving a hole the size of a human head in the Holy Grail Knight's abdomen.

Wen Lie was startled and quickly retracted the Spear of Destiny.

The Holy Grail Knight staggered backwards, his body aging at an extremely fast rate. In just a few seconds, he became old again.

Wen Lie hurried over and helped the old knight onto the stone bench.

The old knight gasped for breath, and it took him more than ten seconds before his breathing rhythm returned to normal.

He looked up at Wen Lie, his eyes revealing a hint of envy.

"Young knight, you are a better man than I am."

Wen Lie said without any modesty: "I think so too."

If he used all his strength, the old knight's body could only withstand one axe blow.

"You are so immodest."

The old knight laughed silently, his expression a little gloomy.
