Chapter 196: Chapter 135: Spirit Rhinoceros Finger, One Move to Settle the Match

Jacob was indeed weaker than Hans, but not to the point where he would be defeated in a few moves.

More importantly, after witnessing Roy use the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger to catch Jacob’s Cross Sword, a single thought flashed through Hans’s mind.

’Golden Great Knight!’

His reason and experience told him that even if Roy wasn’t a Golden Great Knight yet, he already had one foot in that realm.

In other words, Roy was the strongest enemy he had ever faced.

Seeing Hans adopt a defensive, counter-attacking strategy, Roy wasted no more time and raised his right hand.

’The Spirit Rhinoceros Finger can be used for both offense and defense. It’s truly peerless!’

’One finger to defend, and one finger to attack!’

’Although the Spirit Rhinoceros Finger I’m using now is nothing like the original, it won’t stop me from settling this in a single move.’

BOOM!

The hard tiles under Roy’s feet instantly shattered, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading out for several meters.

At the same time, he appeared before Hans in a flash. With his right index and middle fingers pressed together, he struck at Hans’s chest with the speed of Lightning.

Although Hans was on high alert, he never imagined Roy’s Speed could be so incredible.

When he saw Roy’s right hand coming at him, he swung the Ice Blue Cross Sword—formed via Fighting Qi Substantiation—with all his might, attempting to block the attack.

Hans’s reaction was swift, proving he was worthy of his title as the strongest Knight of the Snow Mammoth Clan.

But compared to Roy, he was still far too slow.

Not only that, but when Roy saw Hans intended to block rather than attack, he deliberately slowed his advance, giving Hans the opportunity to get his Ice Blue Cross Sword in position.

With Roy intentionally holding back, the Ice Blue Cross Sword successfully moved into position before Hans, its blade intercepting his fingers.

It blocked the attack, true enough.

But the Ice Blue Cross Sword held for less than a second.

To be precise, only a few hundredths of a second.

With a loud SNAP, the Ice Blue Cross Sword broke as if it had been struck by a bullet.

Hans had thought his Ice Blue Cross Sword would hold for at least a few seconds.

As it turned out, he had overestimated the Ice Blue Cross Sword he had formed from his Fighting Qi.

The instantaneous shattering of the Ice Blue Cross Sword also made him realize one thing with stark clarity.

To Roy, there was no difference between him and Jacob. Both were opponents who could be defeated in a single move.

After shattering the Ice Blue Cross Sword, Roy’s index and middle fingers made contact with Hans’s Fighting Qi Armor.

Just like the Ice Blue Cross Sword, the Fighting Qi Armor only lasted for a few hundredths of a second before it was completely shattered.

The moment Roy’s fingers touched his Fighting Qi Armor, Hans closed his eyes, resigned to his fate.

He had known the final outcome the moment his Ice Blue Cross Sword shattered.

’If I’m lucky, I might just get to keep my life.’

’If my luck is just average, then today is the last day of my life.’

Hans was prepared to die at Roy’s hands.

However, after his Fighting Qi Armor was shattered, he waited in vain for the expected impact on his Silver-White Armor.

Realizing something was wrong, he immediately opened his eyes.

Roy was still standing in front of him.

But he had already withdrawn his right hand.

He had halted his attack after shattering the Fighting Qi Armor.

’There’s no excitement or glory in defeating an old man so much weaker than me.’

’The match is over.’

’There’s no need to hurt him further.’

’I’m here to make a name for myself and collect Breathing Techniques, not to kill.’
