Chapter 37: A Notch Above

  Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Higher Level of Skill

  On the open grassland south of Luoxia Village, Rain Green and Los Lied eyed each other.

  Suddenly, Los let out a loud roar, his blue eyes gleaming with a cold light. With his right hand grasping a massive black axe, he charged towards Rain. At this moment, Rain was not to be outdone either, holding his long sword as he welcomed the attack...

  As the two men drew closer, Los raised his right hand slightly, holding an axe in both hands, and with a slight tilt of his body, he swiftly chopped towards Rain's approaching head, the massive axe weighing over 100 pounds seeming extremely light in his hands.

  Raines smiled slightly, his figure flashed, avoiding the axe's attack, the long sword in his hand gleaming with a faint chill, vibrating up and down, making a clear and crisp breaking sound, rushing straight to Los's hands holding the axe.

  "Huh?" Ross exclaimed, gripping the handle of his long axe tightly with both hands, and using the momentum of the falling axe head, he leaped into the air...

  Raines was weak and thin, but his movements were quick and agile, the long sword in his hand had many changes, if not for Los's quick reaction, his hands would have...

  The two had just begun to fight, and Ross already felt a wave of pressure. The aura on Rain was something he couldn't possess, like a seasoned veteran at a young age, with meticulous thinking, simple yet practical moves that left him caught off guard.

  When Los's giant axe swung towards Rain, he made a sideways slash, seeking victory in danger. At this time, Rain was also shocked, the power of the giant axe was extraordinary, and the momentum that broke through the air brought waves of cold wind, as well as a strong bloody smell.

  At this time, Ross stood beside him with an axe in his right hand and a fist in his left hand, panting heavily with his mouth open. He furrowed his brow, expressionless, staring at Rain.

  The long sword in Rains hand was over three feet, similar to modern swords, unlike the imperial era's scimitar. At this time, he also stared tightly at Los, waiting, using stillness to control movement, and controlling others.

  Luo Si went alone to the challenge, the robbers' attack horn had stopped, and then the team in front of him suddenly opened up a road with a "whoosh" sound. The leader of the Luo Feng Mountain Bandit Army, Treyn Snow, slowly came to the forefront of the entire army, accompanied by his daughter, Layla Snow, a woman with no expression, cold as ice.

  "Lost! Alas..." At this moment, Traein looked ahead with some regret.

  At this time, Luo Si saw that Trein had also arrived with a large army. He let out an angry roar and charged towards Lein again. His massive axe dragged along the ground, opening up deep trenches in the grassland and kicking up clouds of dust.

  Raines strengthened his guard, his eyes fixed tightly on the giant axe in Los's hand. As Los approached him, the long sword in his hand quickly welcomed him.

  A loud "bang" sound, Rein's long sword in his hand just blocked the axe's attack, and the single-handed sword barely withstood the powerful force of the axe that came slashing down.

  Luo's expression started with a look of astonishment, staring incredulously at the long sword in Rain's hand. Then he chuckled and suddenly let go of his hands, quickly pulling out a short knife from his boot.

  "Ah?" Lain's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect Los to give up his giant axe, but the weight of over 100 kilograms of the giant axe made the long sword in his hand start to bend, things happened too suddenly, even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't dodge Los' quick short knife.

  "Hah...!" Los sneered with a smile, his short knife already stabbing towards the gap in front of Rain's chest.

  "What?!......" Those like Rus who were far away exclaimed, and the soldiers and villagers also began to worry about Lain.

  Raines also smiled, the long sword in his hand instantly popping open the giant axe, his entire body flashing slightly, his left thumb and index finger pinching the blade of the short knife, his right hand's long sword pointing at Los' throat.

  The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the situation had developed too suddenly. In just a few rounds, Los, who possessed innate divine power, was unexpectedly defeated at the hands of Rain.

  "Rennes..."

  "Rennes..."

  “……”

  Rousse and others, as well as the soldiers and villagers, all cheered loudly, with some even embracing each other in excitement.

  With a thud, Los fell to his knees, looking up at Rain. The arrogant expression that was once on his face no longer existed.

  "Captain Rains, I'm defeated, kill me!" Ross said with a pale face, then hung his head.

  "Los, I won't kill you!" Rayn said, although Los was a bandit, his bravery was commendable and worthy of respect.

  "Alas..." Los let out a long sigh, suddenly grabbed the short knife on the ground, and was about to...

  "Captain Rains, why are you stopping me? I've already..." At this moment, Los's expression was extremely shocked, as his wrist was tightly grasped by Rains, unable to move. His strength was well-known, but now he found it extremely difficult to even attempt suicide.

  "Even ants struggle to survive, you..." Reyn took the dagger from his hand and dissuaded him, at this time, Rus and others were also rushing over.

  "Ruse, take him away!"

  "Yes sir! Dakort..." Russ chuckled and beckoned to Dakort, the two of them escorting Los back to the defensive fortifications.

  Ladd and Xiao Pang carried the giant axe, moving slowly and stumbling as they began to return, but Lain still stood in place, holding his long sword high, demonstrating and challenging the distant bandit army.

  The furious gaze of Trayne, the vanguard of the bandit army, stared at Rain, his heart filled with anger and hatred. Even Los, who wielded a giant axe that weighed over 100 kilograms and possessed divine strength, was no match for him. Who else could be sent to challenge him?

  "Los, you're a guy who can't even get things done but always manages to mess them up. You're infuriating!" Traien bellowed in anger, his eyes scanning the team members with indignation.

  The robbers looked at each other in dismay, no one dared to step forward and ask for battle, they all avoided the leader's gaze, lowered their heads, afraid of being called out by name to go into battle. However, at this moment, Lain unexpectedly walked towards the direction of the thousands-strong robber army.

  "Captain Rynn, what are you doing? Come back!"

  Raine turned her head and gave Russ a faint smile, then continued walking forward...

  "Mad! Really mad! Infuriating!" Rush's face was flustered as he hastily rushed over.

  The leader of the bandits, Trane, sneered and quickly snatched a crossbow from one of his men, taking aim at Rain who was slowly approaching.
