Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1477: Chapter 556: Crushing Defeat, Challenge to the Empire_3

Then, there was nothing after that.

Even if it was just the simplest frontal combat, the effect shown in the hands of different people could be completely different.

Earl Red Blade used many different tactics in a short period of time, constantly escalating the intensity of the confrontation until it reached a level that the ten-person formation couldn’t withstand.

Every tactic and every move by Earl Red Blade can be found as templates in the training textbooks of the Empire’s Special Soldiers.

However, when the output power of the Armor exceeded a certain limit, and he performed these seemingly basic tactical maneuvers with a baffling speed and precision, he completely rewrote the Combat Power limit of Imperial human single-soldier combat.

It wasn’t until Ren Zhong returned to the stage that, including Marvill, the spectators finally finished digesting the many details from his previous battle.

Everyone felt the experience was both infinitely rich and terrifying.

Amidst a spread of white smoke, the cockpit cover of the new Red Blade Armor opened, and Ren Zhong’s figure appeared in front of everyone.

He still stood inside the War Armor, eyes behind the tactical helmet remained closed.

His body was still covered in the gel of Deep Sea Buffer Liquid, which slowly slid down, and when it reached a certain point, he opened his eyes.

The tactical helmet’s panel popped open automatically, releasing Rapid Freezing Liquid that had just thawed.

These Freezing Fluid did not flow far, but quickly vaporized and evaporated.

After a while, Ren Zhong, still emitting cold white air from his body surface, unzipped his pressure suit, jumped out, glanced around, and finally focused his gaze on Sena Romanov’s face.

At this moment, Sena’s face was utterly pale, her pupils dilated, filled with shock and disbelief.

"Ms. Sena, are you satisfied with such a result?" Ren Zhong still wore a plain smile, "Do you now acknowledge the value of the coating? Am I taking you for a fool? Hmm?"

Sena’s lips quivered slightly, instinctively wanting to accuse Ren Zhong of clearly being opportunistic.

She wanted to stubbornly argue, simply say Earl Red Blade was pretending to be weak to swallow strong, using the gap in personal ability between him and other Empire warriors to create this one-against-ten disparity effect.

But Sena’s pride ultimately didn’t allow her to go that far, she responded by faintly lowering her face, "It’s worth it."

Ren Zhong shrugged, "Of course it’s worth it. In fact, I didn’t show my true capabilities at first, but controlled all my and the Armor’s parameters to the standard level of Empire warriors; indeed, it was with the performance boost brought by the invisible coating that I could hold my ground against your followers. Subsequently, I will publish the specific combat parameters. Whether I lied or not, everyone here will know at a glance."

Sena finally grasped Ren Zhong’s flaw, immediately questioning, "If you had absolutely overwhelming strength, why did you kill them? You are provoking Duke Wenle Mansion’s..."

"Shut up, foolish!" Ren Zhong suddenly interrupted Sena’s loud words, "Are you stupid, or do you think I am stupid? Why did I kill them? Isn’t it simple? Because they had murderous intent towards me, because this was a conditionless actual battle duel you yourself wanted, because they were merely Lords yet dared to covet my life as an Imperial Earl. I killed them, with no need for explanation or reason. I kill whoever I want, what can you do? What can Duke Wenle Mansion do? The Emperor is the one who bestowed my title, I am loyal only to the Emperor. Duke Wenle Mansion is neither my direct superior noble nor do I have any ties with them, why would I spare your people? Ms. Sena?"

Ren Zhong’s words, barbed and piercing, struck Sena Romanov, leaving her speechless.

Others present were also stunned.

Although Ren Zhong spoke objective facts, it was still rare for an un-titled Earl to so trample the dignity of a Duke Mansion.

"Earl Red Blade you..." Sena knew she had already embarrassed the Duke, slowly raised her hand, wanting to say something harsh to salvage the situation.

But Ren Zhong immediately hit the water dog, "What? You want to threaten me? Want me to remember? Want me to be careful in the future? Now the Empire’s wars with the Ascenders, Pilgrims, and Spirit Demon Race aren’t over, we are in urgent need of people. I, Ren Zhong, am loyal to the Emperor, since leaving the Tracer colony, I’ve been diligently making the best contributions to the Empire. My potential and capabilities are clear for everyone present, in your hearts. So what does Duke Wenle Mansion want? To strangle this future pillar of the Empire in the cradle? Ms. Sena and the Duke Wenle behind you, who are you truly loyal to?"

Ren Zhong’s words got heavier and heavier.

Words that targeted heart and soul, indeed.

Sena Romanov dared not open her mouth anymore, afraid of becoming increasingly tarnished by Ren Zhong.

This investment meeting is still being broadcast live.

She had no opportunity to cover up the news.

If this were Duke Wenle Mansion’s territory, there’d be a chance to cut communications, but Marquis Zhenjiang obviously wouldn’t miss this great opportunity, how could he possibly help her.

"Well, it seems you indeed want a death duel with me." Ren Zhong suddenly smiled, "I give Duke Wenle Mansion a chance. I, Red Blade Ren Zhong, declare here and now, within the Empire, anyone interested can challenge me to a duel, fight me one-on-one. If anyone can defeat me, I will immediately abandon my title, serve as a servant for life, never going back on my word. Should I die by misfortune, the Red Blade Clan will not retaliate, but automatically become slaves and affiliates of the opponent. How about it? Ms. Sena, are you satisfied? Is your Duke satisfied?"

He even took the opportunity to challenge the Empire-wide.
