Chapter 424: Secret Moves Emerge One After Another

[The fourth form of the mutant dragon man (dragon beast form): after activation, the body size will be based on the third form, and part of the body will be further transformed into a giant dragon. Immune to intermediate-level toxins and disease effects, immune to witchcraft damage below 120 degrees. ]

(Note: The duration is positively correlated with blood concentration and physique.)

"Dragon beast form?" Seeing these four words, Ryan couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

"This transformation is becoming less and less human. It turned out to be a dragon man, at least it can barely be considered a human"

"But now, the system uses dragon beast to describe it?" Ryan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

However, when Ryan looked at the sentence in the system description, 'Immune to witchcraft damage below 120 degrees', he was more happy than worried.

"Before, I was immune to 80 degrees, but now it's 120 degrees, which means that I should be immune to all kinds of witchcraft below level 3."

"Forget it, whether it's a human or an animal, in this world, improving combat power is the most important thing."

"Like the great man said, no matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is one that can catch mice."

Feeling the changes inside his body, although Ryan wanted to try out the new form - the dragon beast form, he also knew that the current Dragon Valley secret realm might not even be able to withstand his third form, let alone the fourth form.

It is estimated that once he transforms, he will be "squeezed" out of the secret realm.

"My lord, the bodies have been dealt with." At this time, Ereda on the side walked over slowly with a smile and reported.

"Well, you've worked hard." Ryan smiled and said.

"By the way, Mr. Baldwin, shall we go to the third point immediately and install the rift closer?" Ryan turned around and said to Baldwin, the captain of the army beside him.

"Of course, Mr. Ryan, it's over there, about 30 kilometers from here." Baldwin pointed to the east and said.

Ryan nodded.

He knew the specific location of the third point, which was in the southeast of the Flame Mountain.

If they rushed there from here, it would take about 25 minutes at their speed.

Then, a group of four people plus two golems rushed to the second point.

About ten minutes after Ryan and his group left.

Suddenly, Lambert, wearing a simple linen coat and carrying a big sword on his back, came to the scene.

He first looked around for traces of battle, then stopped to think for a moment, and then his eyes stayed on the four bodies on the ground that were burned to charcoal by the dark erosion technique.

"Yes, it is the energy residue of metal witchcraft."

"But these three people seem to be from the Empire. How come they are in conflict with Ryan?"

"Besides, do these people have a deep hatred with Ryan? Why are the bodies corroded by shadow witchcraft?" Lambert looked puzzled and thought to himself.

Lambert could naturally see that among the remains of the four bodies, one was a cult strongman, because he could smell the special smell even if the body had been destroyed.

The other three should be the people who participated in the re-examination.

This is a bit interesting.

In addition, strangely, the injuries on the four people all have traces of metal witchcraft, which means that the four opponents have fought with Ryan.

Although there are also traces of shadow witchcraft, this only means that either Ryan has helpers or Ryan also masters some shadow witchcraft.

For a while, Lambert was a little confused about some of these questions.

However, he closed his eyes and sensed the residual energy level. At the same time, he bent down and touched the temperature of the ground with his fingers.

"It will take about ten to fifteen minutes to leave."

"And there are two golems."

"The preparations are very thorough." Lambert looked at the huge and obvious oval footprints on the ground and thought to himself.

After thinking for a while, Lambert looked in the direction where Ryan and his party left, and immediately pointed his toes, and the whole person quickly chased like an arrow from a string.

And Ryan and his party, after cleaning up a few scattered violent species that blocked the road, successfully arrived at the third point.

"Sir Ryan, it's okay, it's here." Captain Baldwin looked at the thin sheet in his hand, smiled and turned to Ryan and said.

"Yeah."

"Do you need my help?" Ryan nodded and said.

"No, leave the rest to me. It doesn't take too much mental energy to activate the rift closer." The army captain Baldwin waved his hands and said.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Baldwin." Ryan smiled and said.

"No trouble, thanks to your help this time, Mr. Ryan."

Baldwin said as he quickly opened the box containing the rift closer.

He took out a rectangular device that looked like a small motor.

At the same time, Baldwin took out a crystal that emitted strong energy fluctuations from the box and put it in.

As the crystal was installed, suddenly, a ring of light flashed through the rift closer, and then it began to float slowly.

After a few seconds, the rift closer seemed to have cut into another space and began to become translucent.

This scene seemed to be somewhat similar to the previous "void" state of the void beast, which also became translucent, like jelly.

No, it should be said that it was more completely virtual, because at this moment, the device had become completely transparent.

The next second, the device completely disappeared in mid-air.

Hmm?

Seeing this scene, Renn raised his eyebrows slightly.

He sensed it carefully again, and Ren was able to confirm that the rift closer was not releasing some kind of shielding witch formation, but had really disappeared.

Disappeared in this space.

"No wonder, Tatiya didn't mention what happened after the setup was completed. It turned out that he left the secret space."

"No, it shouldn't be completely separated. It seems to have been transferred to the mezzanine of the secret realm."

Ren had a vague feeling and thought to himself.

Seeing this scene, Army Commander Baldwin also breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The most important task is finally completed!"

"Sir Ren, would you like to report to the command hall?"

After hearing what Baldwin said, Ren wanted to say, Captain Baldwin, why didn't you report it, but he understood immediately.

The other party was taking the initiative to show their goodwill, indicating that they had no intention of taking credit.

After thinking about it, Ren nodded and said, "Okay!"

I saw Renn taking out the thin chip and said: "Command hall, I am Renn. Captain Baldwin and I jointly completed the setting of the rift closer at the third point."

Um?

Hearing Ren's words, Baldwin couldn't help but look up at Ren, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He didn't expect Ren to say that.

You know, although he brought the rift sealer into the secret realm, in fact, the second half of the escort mission was mainly completed by Ren.

In fact, if Renn had not come to support him, not only would the Rift Closing Device fall into the hands of the cult, but he himself would have died long ago.

Renn's statement almost gave him half of the credit for setting up the rift sealer.

This made Baldwin couldn't help but sigh: "He is very strong, and he also cares about the feelings of others. The most important thing is that he is still so young. It's unbelievable!"

The Ereda sisters on the side also looked at each other at this time, and then smiled.

They walked all the way, and naturally knew that escorting this box was mainly due to the great efforts of their master, Ren.

It is naturally a good thing to follow such a humble master.

A few seconds later, a reply came from the chip.

Only the deep voice of General Augustus came from it: "Received. Thank you both for your hard work."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do." Ren said.

After the call ended, Renn turned to Baldwin beside him and smiled: "Now that the settings have been completed, I need to go to the encirclement and suppression point now. Captain Baldwin, what about you?"

When Ren said this, he stopped and looked at Baldwin.

Because whether you let Baldwin, who is still injured, stay here, or take him with you, there are risks.

In this case, Renn felt that it would be better to leave the choice in the hands of the other party.

"Sir Ren, I."

Just when Baldwin was about to say something, suddenly, Ren's face turned solemn and he turned to look at the forest to the northwest.

When sisters Baldwin and Ereda saw this, their hearts trembled immediately, and they immediately followed Ren's line of sight.

I saw a tall figure slowly emerging from the forest with a big sword on his back.

As the other party approached, it was Lambert who was wearing a simple linen coat.

"As expected, it's you, Mr. Ren, but it took me a long time to find you."

"Huh? There are still companions here." Lambert looked around the four Rennes and said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Lambert."

"What do you want from me?" Renn nodded in greeting.

"Sir Ren, I want to compete with you." Lambert said straight to the point.

Lane was not surprised by Lambert's answer.

"Oh? Is it just a competition?" Ren asked.

"Well, it's just a competition. However, Sir Ren is very strong and I can't hold back. Therefore, I suggest that during the competition, life or death will not matter!"

Hearing this, Renn couldn't help but laugh.

A life-or-death contest, isn't that a duel?

The other party has gone in such a big circle, and the real purpose is to avoid responsibility.

This Lambert is not stupid. Knowing that he is now an Imperial Adamant-level sword wielder, it is obviously not wise to take action directly, so he came up with such a move.

"Mr. Lambert, do you know that Mr. Lane is responsible for important tasks for the empire. Your current behavior will become a sinner in the history of the empire." Baldwin, the army commander on the side, angrily reprimanded.

"Oh? Who are you? You seem to have good strength, but you are injured, so you will not be my enemy." Lambert first glanced at Baldwin, then shook his head and said.

"You! I am Military Baldwin!" Baldwin's face turned red with anger.

"Baldwin? I've heard of you. It seems that what you said should be true." Lambert looked at Baldwin and then at Renne and said.

"In this case, Mr. Baldwin, if I win, I promise that I will complete his unfinished mission for Mr. Lane."

"Because if I win, doesn't it prove that I am stronger. It also means that I am more suitable to complete the empire's mission than Lord Ren, right?"

"You" Baldwin was speechless for a moment.

Because it cannot be said that what Lambert said is unreasonable. If he wins, it will naturally prove that he is stronger than Renne. Then if he carries out the original task of Renne, the success rate will naturally be higher.

Logically speaking, there is no problem.

When the two Ereda girls on the side heard each other's words, they looked at each other and communicated mentally:

"Sister, this person is so arrogant, I plan to test his level first."

"Okay! But you have to be careful, the other party is very strong."

After the two women discussed it, Alida moved slightly, but Lambert immediately noticed it. He glanced at Alida, smiled and said to Ren:

"Sir Ren, I don't mind if you come together."

Ren waved his hand and said, "I am enough to deal with you."

"Alida, come back."

This made Elida couldn't help but glare at Lambert, but she naturally wanted to listen to Ren's words. She just saw her body flash and returned to her sister Elida again.

"Okay, Sir Ren, you really did not disappoint me."

Seeing this scene, Lambert took a step forward, took the initiative to draw the sword from behind, bowed slightly, and said:

"The name of the two-handed sword is 'Cut the Waves'. Sir Ren, please enlighten me!"

"The newly transformed sword has no name. I'm in a hurry, let's hurry up." Renn also transformed into a hardened adamantine sword and said.

Lane's attitude seemed to irritate Lambert a little.

Suddenly, Lambert suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already several meters in front of Renn.

His right hand shook like lightning and slashed forward. In an instant, seven or eight criss-crossing silver arcs burst out from where Ren was.

"Clang clang clang!!"

But at the same moment, eight strong sparks flashed through, and a dense line of clashing sounds suddenly resounded all around!

In the first trial, Lambert's 'Eight Stages of Tidal Slash', which instantly killed the Shadow Vulture, was completely blocked by Renn.

And without a hit, Lambert returned to the same place again.

However, the smile on his face grew brighter.

"Sir Ren, I am more and more satisfied with your strength."

"You know? Although I owe the Durham family a favor, in fact, I can refuse the other party's request."

"But I think Lord Renn may surprise me and help me reach a higher level. Now it seems that my feeling is right."

"Sir Ren, then I will do my best." Lambert smiled solemnly and raised the two-meter-long sword high with both hands. The straight tip of the sword seemed to pierce the sky.

"Triple Cut of Dilang!"

With Lambert's huff!

Renn could feel the strong mental fluctuations of the other party. To be precise, it was the faith of the sword that was poured into the big sword.

Suddenly, a sword-shaped air wave spanned more than 20 meters and hit him directly from Lambert's big sword.

But Ren's face remained calm, holding the adamantine sword horizontally to block. At the same time, his body was covered with the combined witchcraft 'Steel Armor'.

"clang!!!"

Suddenly, three circular air waves escaped in all directions from the point where the two men's swords collided. The tall trees more than ten meters away suddenly shook, and many branches were broken one after another, and the leaves fell. land.

On the surface, the Dielang Triple Slash is just one sword that contains the belief of the sword, but in fact it is three swords combined into one, so there are three air waves.

After Lambert performed this blow, he did not continue to attack. Instead, he readjusted his posture from standing with his legs astride to a posture with his left foot slightly bent in front and his right foot behind.

The big sword in his hand was raised diagonally.

From that move just now, Lambert once again raised his expectations for Rennes' combat power.

Being able to block his triple chop with the sword's faith with a horizontal sword, shows that the opponent's strength is on the same level as him.

At this time, it is not enough to rely solely on the faith of the sword and the outward release of the Force.

You have to add strength, three-in-one.

To put it simply, you must fight hand-to-hand!

at the same time.

In the imperial capital of Tamriel, in the command hall on the second floor of the Astromancer Platform.

Marshal Alfred and others are busy checking various situations happening in the secret area at this time.

"No, Captain Agrippa sent a message. Their team encountered a legendary strongman from the Plague Cult. Although they were able to repel him, two team members were infected by the Soul-Eating Plague, which cannot be eliminated in a short time."

Tatya glanced at the film, her expression changed, and she reported.

"Is there something wrong with the rift sealer?" General Augustus asked first.

"There is no problem with the rift sealer. Captain Agrippa will be able to reach the second point immediately. But the problem now is that the team's combat power has been damaged. If we go to encircle and suppress that person later, there may be some problems."

Tatia added.

At this time, the slice in Tatia's hand vibrated again.

Glancing down, Tatya frowned and said:

"Captain Baldwin summoned, Lord Ren was blocked by Lambert, the great disciple of the Tide Sword Master, saying that he wanted to force a competition."

Lambert, of course she had heard of it.

As the eldest disciple of the Tide Sword Master, there is no doubt about his strength.

The opponent's original title was 'Tidal Sword Master'. From the title, it is easy to see that the opponent has obtained the true inheritance of the Tidal Sword Master.

In the past two years, the title of 'Tide Sword Master' has gradually faded away, and most people have turned to calling Lambert the 'Quasi Sword Master'.

To be called a 'quasi-swordsman', his swordsmanship has obviously reached a certain critical level. Once he crosses this threshold, he can reach the realm of swordsman.

"Nonsense!"

"Now in the secret realm, every piece of the empire's combat power is extremely precious, this Lambert."

General Augustus was obviously furious when he heard the news.

The great astromancer Darien on the side, after hearing Tatia's report, silently recited a spell and took the initiative to display the scene of Renn at the moment on the oval stone platform in the center of the command hall.

Obviously, Renne's repeated rescues made the great astromancer Darien also have a strong interest in him.

As the screen was displayed, everyone present couldn't help but stare at it.

However, in the picture at this moment, the figures of Ren and Lambert are not visible, but the two Ereda girls and Baldwin who are watching from the side are clearly visible.

This strange scene naturally made Tatya's eyes confused.

Is it possible that Lord Darien’s astrology was wrong and did not target Lord Ren?

"The two of them are too fast." Marshal Alfred said in a deep voice.

Tatia took a closer look and discovered that in the center of the picture, a large tree with two people hugging each other fell down like wheat, and two blurry figures would appear from time to time, and then disappear in a flash.

Although the figures could not be clearly seen, the strong sparks during the exchange and the brief stagnation when the swords collided allowed one to barely capture the figures of the two people.

Compared to the command hall, the ereda sisters at the scene could better understand the strength of the two.

"Sister, this guy's swordsmanship is so good that I have never seen him before. Do you think Master Ren can win?" My sister Alida became worried for the first time.

"I believe Lord Ren can win." Sister Ereida nodded and said.

At this time, the situation in the center of the field changed!

"Sword Shadow Clone Slash!"

Lambert roared loudly, and his figure suddenly appeared in the air, clearly visible!

The next moment, the muscles in his arms suddenly swelled, his coat exploded, and he pulled out eight figures with different slashing postures, and began to jump towards Ren's position one after another!
