Chapter 1746: Chapter 530: Overlord Fist, the Overlord of Tyranny!_3

"Yes, that’s why I placed a bet on a victory within 500 moves, the odds were much higher than betting on the outcome directly."

"What’s there not to say! I’ve personally witnessed Marikas’s matches before; his Sword Intention is extremely formidable, practically ending battles within a few strokes, never giving his opponent a chance to drag out the fight. Being an Air Skill Master is a cloth-armor profession, can their flesh and blood withstand Sword Air? Trust me, go all-in on Marikas!"

"..."

Leonard Churchill listened to the analysis of the audience near the arena with a slightly lost gaze, seemingly deep in thought.

Most people thought it would be a protracted battle, or they believed Barre Shepherd would lose.

After all, from the betting manual, Barre Shepherd’s performance wasn’t as prominent compared to others.

Only Leonard Churchill and his group firmly believed that Barre Shepherd would win.

And so did the organizers.

This was a match deliberately set for an upset.

Before long, the two combatants entered the arena.

First to appear was "Black Sword" Marikas, wielding a two-handed Great Sword and clad in full Armor.

This man was a defeated Knight Captain, originally a noble, with an undeniable aura.

The moment he entered the arena, he resembled an unsheathed sharp sword, his edge on full display.

"Black Sword!"

"Black Sword!"

"Black Sword!"

"..."

Cheers erupted from the stands, louder and more passionate with each wave.

In the Southern Continent, where martial prowess is esteemed, such a star Gladiator is very popular.

In contrast, the other side appeared quite ordinary.

Bobby, slightly nervous, gasped: "Look, Senior Shepherd has entered!"

Everyone’s gaze shifted in that direction.

An old man walked out.

Unlike his sharp and striking opponent, Barre Shepherd looked quite ordinary.

He wasn’t robust or tall, nor did he possess an imposing presence.

Perhaps accustomed to being an old man, hunching over for most of his life, even after breaking through to the Demigod realm, Barre Shepherd still maintained his slight stoop as he walked.

This made him seem utterly unremarkable at first glance.

His appearance incited a round of mockery from the gamblers in the stands.

"Alas, I assumed the Commerce Guild would pull off an upset and purposely bet on this East Wilderness expert! If I had known it would be like this, not a single copper coin would I have wagered..."

"Indeed. This ’Overlord Fist’ sounds intimidating, but could his track record be fabricated?"

"It’s all over now, I thought the Air Skill Master could last a long battle, so I bet this guy could hold on for quite a while, and now it’s all gone to waste. This old fellow, I’m afraid, won’t last a few moves..."

"..."

Gamblers’ curses and regrets intermingled in the background.

However, Sophia Jones looked on without any change in expression.

Her crystal-clear eyes revealed a touch of admiration as she glanced again, murmuring: "Senior Shepherd’s condition is getting better and better..."

Leonard Churchill also smiled and said: "Indeed."

The way of the Air Skill Master is such; the higher they train, the more their Air is contained within.

The Barre Shepherd before them was now indistinguishable from an ordinary man.

Leonard Churchill looked at the old man, his brows slightly raised, and thought to himself: "I too want to see, Old Man, how you can win in three moves..."

.....

"The duel begins!"

The announcer’s voice commanded.

Instantly, the entire Duel Field fell silent.

Everyone might underestimate Barre Shepherd, but "Black Sword" Marikas, his opponent, would not.

Only when reaching their Realm can one understand something that only a Top-level Card Master can perceive.

This average-looking old man in front of him made Marikas feel as if facing a formidable enemy.

It was because he exerted no pressure that Marikas felt him all the more dangerous.

This was a feeling he had never had against the many enemies he faced.

There were only two possibilities for such a situation.

Either the opponent is very weak, so weak as to be unnoticeable to oneself; or the opponent is extremely strong, so much so that they surpass one’s own sense of danger.

There are definitely no weaklings who could reach the final stage of the King of the Gladiators.

Marikas concluded that the person before him was exceedingly strong!

However, he couldn’t understand why a Same Tier card master could make him have this weird feeling!

Across from him, Barre Shepherd looked at his opponent and fiddled with his ear.

Before entering the Holy Realm, he was eager to learn from such opponents.

But now... such opponents were no longer enjoyable at his current Realm.

Barre Shepherd’s character had always been straightforward, showing no pretense; disinterest meant disinterest.

The boredom written between his brows was truly that—boredom.

"Black Sword" Marikas, sensing the disdain in his eyes, felt a mix of caution and a trace of rage from being belittled, and snorted coldly: "Domain·Sword Gang Storm!"

In a moment of rage, the Domain spread out, and Sword Air filled the sky.

Instantly, countless spectators witnessed a massive Sword Air tornado form around him.

Although angry, he wasn’t careless; he struck with his strongest state!

As Barre Shepherd observed this Sword Qi Domain, it was as if he saw through the flaws in an instant, muttering: "The Sword Air is too scattered, it can work against ordinary people, but can’t break my Gang Air."

His voice was soft, but "Black Sword" Marikas’s face suddenly changed upon hearing it.

He intended to strike first to gain the upper hand, but at this moment he realized in horror that the sacred figure of the old man, who stood there so casually, had no "flaws" at all.

It seemed that no matter where he struck, it would not harm him; on the contrary, taking action would expose his own weaknesses.

"Black Sword" Marikas gripped the hilt of his Great Sword as if frozen by an immobilization spell, unable to lift the sword no matter how much he tried.

"How is this possible..."

Heart filled with shock and bewilderment, Marikas found himself stuck in this moment of truth.

And so, the situation became eerily stagnant.

The two stood there.

Barre Shepherd looked on, his eyebrows slightly raising, his previously casual gaze suddenly becoming sharp and intense.
