347 Chapter 347 Swordsmanship Competition
The captain and the others turned their heads blankly. When they saw the figure on the top of the tower, their faces immediately became excited. They saluted and shouted, "Mr. Pierce!"
Locke chuckled and the Sword in the Stone appeared beside him, "Come on. Let's compete in swordsmanship."
Pierce still looked indifferent as before. He raised his hand and the long sword in his hand was stabbing in Locke's direction.
Locke's eyes narrowed slightly. Waving the Sword in the Stone, he rushed toward the sword light.
Clang~
The two swords collided with a crisp sound and then fell back into their masters' hands.
Bang!
With long swords in their hands, they turned into shadows and rushed toward each other, instantly colliding with each other.
Their speed was so fast that their bodies moved quickly, leaving shadows in the air. However, they were getting faster and faster, so the captain and the others who had become numb on the ground could not see their movements at all.
"That young man is so powerful!"
On the ground, the girl who first found Locke took a deep breath and said in shock.
Bang!
Locke leaned his body slightly to one side, and the tip of the long sword in Pierce's hand slid past his throat.
After retreating more than ten meters, Locke breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but touch his throat. He had to admit that Pierce was definitely the most talented swordsman he had ever seen.
"If you don't show your strength, I'm afraid you can't defeat me in swordsmanship."
Waving the Sword in the Stone, Locke said with a smile. He could feel that this was not Pierce's strongest swordsmanship.
Pierce's face didn't change at all. With a wave of his hand, twenty long swords appeared beside him in an instant.
Looking at the long swords floating beside Pierce, the mercenaries on the ground could not help but take a deep breath. They had always heard that Mr. Pierce was good at swordsmanship, and today they finally saw it!
Boom!
Pierce waved his hand, and the long swords vibrated slightly, turning into streaks of light shooting toward Locke.
Locke's face turned serious. The Sword in the Stone turned and the two swords at the front were thrown away.
Just as Locke was about to block the remaining long swords, he saw that they changed their direction and attacked him from behind. Helplessly, Locke could only condense a magic shield behind him.
However, under Pierce's control, these long swords seemed to be alive and changed the attacking way sensitively.
Locke's body was also moving rapidly to block the constant attacks. In the eyes of the captain and the others, he was already surrounded by countless long swords.
Boom!
Locke was instantly enveloped in a huge sea of fire.
"Wow! Is this the strength of the castellan in the eastern district?"
The captain and the others who were watching the battle on the side were all shocked.
"That young man must have been captured by Mr. Pierce, right?"
One of them murmured.
In their eyes, Pierce was absolutely invincible. Once upon a time, there was a level-6 practitioner who relied on his strength to be arrogant and domineering in the eastern district. As a result, everyone present only saw a long sword slashing across the sky and directly stabbing that person into the ground.
However, just when they thought Locke was done for, they only saw a black figure rushing out of the explosion. The long sword in the black figure's hand clanked and rushed toward Pierce.
Boom!
A powerful wave of energy centered on them spread out to the surroundings, and the captain and the others were also thrown away by the energy wave.
Bang!
In the horrified eyes of everyone, Pierce, whom they trusted, was thrown backward and hit the wall in the distance.
"Mr. Pierce was defeated..."
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
"Protect Mr. Pierce!"
The captain was the first to react. He rushed to the place where Pierce fell with his men and stood in front of Pierce.
"Ahem~"
Pierce coughed in the ruins.
Everyone turned around and saw Pierce walking out of the dust. Although his clothes were damaged and his body was covered with dust, looking a little embarrassed, he was not seriously injured.
Looking in Locke's direction, Pierce said bitterly, "Sir Lord, I lost."
"Your swordsmanship is better than mine, and I only have an advantage in my strength." Locke shook his head with a smile.
Pierce shook his head and denied, "I lost. There's nothing else to explain."
While speaking, Pierce looked at Locke, who was covered in scars, with a rare doubt on his face, "Sir Lord, didn't Miss Athena go to pick you up? Even so, do you still meet a powerful enemy?"
Locke smiled awkwardly and said, "These are all the injuries from training."
He couldn't say that he was flirting with women outside, and then he was beaten up by Athena. After all, he was the leader of Lister, and he had to save face.
Pierce nodded and looked at Locke with a hint of admiration. Sure enough, it was not a coincidence that Sir Lord could become a powerful level-8 mage at such a young age. He had never forgotten to practice.
If Locke could hear what Pierce was thinking, he would be depressed for a long time.
Sir Lord?
The captain and the others had already been stunned. They just stood there stiffly, feeling a buzz in their minds. What did they hear just now? Sir Lord?!
Everyone's eyes could not help falling on Locke's face again.
In their minds, Locke's bruised face finally overlapped his glorious image.
"Sir Lord!"
The captain was shocked and bowed to Locke with great respect on his excited face. The others finally reacted and bowed to Locke in a hurry.
Locke nodded and motioned for everyone to get up. Looking in the captain's direction, he asked, "How are the two regiment commanders?"
Locke was familiar with Royce and Dunbar, the two regiment commanders of the Moore Mercenary. After all, these two people had settled here when Lister was still not developed. Therefore, he specially approved a good location for them to build the headquarters.
The captain immediately bowed and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Sir Lord. The two regiment commanders are very good now, and the Moore Mercenary has gradually developed over the years."
Locke nodded with a smile, "Say hello to your regiment commanders for me."
The captain answered immediately.
After saying goodbye to the captain, Locke and Pierce walked out of the yard. Now he was not in a hurry and planned to take a good look at the territory's development. As for Pierce, he had gone back to practice.
Looking at Pierce's receding figure, Locke couldn't help but sigh. He could feel that Pierce seemed to have something on his mind from beginning to end. Or it could be said that there was always pressure on him, which had been urging him to move forward crazily.
However, Pierce didn't tell him, and Locke didn't ask either. He knew Pierce well. Since Pierce didn't tell him, he must have some unspeakable reasons.
