CHAPTER 968: CHAPTER 410: A CONTEST OF STRENGTH (5-IN-1)_6

At this moment, Mo Xiu slightly raised the corner of his mouth, turning the Blood Sword in his hand, the smooth blade immediately reflected a blood-red flash across Su Ming’s eyes.

Su Ming involuntarily blinked his eyes.

Mo Xiu instantly seized the opportunity, slashing towards Su Ming with the Blood Sword like an afterimage.

Su Ming’s pupils contracted, and he immediately slowed his pace, raising his Tachi to block!

Clang!

At the moment of impact, immense power surged, tearing apart the skin between thumb and index finger.

Mo Xiu’s expression suddenly turned grim, he spun his sword strike, knocking Su Ming’s Tachi out of his hands, then turned and delivered a twisting kick to Su Ming’s chest.

Su Ming staggered backward wildly, finally stopping when his left foot braced against a weapon rack.

He took a deep breath to suppress the intense pain in his chest, almost spitting blood.

The officers of the Fifth Legion and Sixth Legion watching on the spot all laughed and said.

"Haha, can’t continue, can he!"

...

Lady Hai Lan’s expression immediately dimmed.

Rhein and others sighed helplessly.

Mo Xiu smiled and said to Su Ming.

"General Su Ming, you’ve lost."

Su Ming exhaled lightly, looked up at Mo Xiu, and said calmly.

"You are mistaken, it’s not that I’ve lost, but you’ve already lost the only chance to defeat me."

Mo Xiu frowned slightly upon hearing Su Ming’s words.

The officers gathered around heard this and angrily accused him.

"Such arrogance!"

"Stubborn fool!"

...

Su Ming paid no attention to the crowd’s comments, as he lifted his right foot and kicked backward at the rack holding a long spear.

The entire spear flew off the weapon rack, and Su Ming deftly caught it, smoothly twirling it in his hands, his aura suddenly changed.

"Interesting, bring it on!"

Mo Xiu said with great interest.

Su Ming suddenly erupted with power, dashed towards Mo Xiu with incredible speed, thrusting the spear directly at Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu raised his Blood Sword to block, immediately parrying the spear aside.

Su Ming quickly retracted the spear, stabbing at Mo Xiu again like a streak of light.

Mo Xiu’s expression changed instantly, swinging his Blood Sword to block once more.

Su Ming then rotated the spear in his hands, continuously stirring Mo Xiu’s Blood Sword, causing him to struggle to keep up.

Mo Xiu suddenly felt increased pressure.

At that moment, Su Ming unexpectedly changed his move, thrusting the spear through the Blood Sword, towards Mo Xiu’s neck.

Mo Xiu was startled and immediately sidestepped to dodge.

At that moment, Su Ming wielded the spear and swept it horizontally.

Boom!

The spear struck Mo Xiu’s chest.

Mo Xiu’s face instantly revealed a pained expression, retreating several steps before he could stop.

Su Ming rushed forward, brandishing the spear, thrusting it at Mo Xiu from right to left, one strike after another.

Clang!

Mo Xiu was flustered, attempting to block.

At that instant, Su Ming exerted force, using a Shaking Spear to knock away Mo Xiu’s Blood Sword.

Immediately, Su Ming easily seized the flaw, spearing through the Blood Sword, aiming straight for Mo Xiu’s chest.

Mo Xiu’s heart trembled fiercely, dodging to the side at the last possible moment.

Su Ming swung the spear backhand, the spear body striking heavily on Mo Xiu.

Boom~

Mo Xiu staggered back as if hit hard, crashing into a weapon rack.

The officers below the stage were shocked and said.

"How is this possible?"

"I must be seeing things, how could Master Mo Xiu be at a disadvantage."

...

At this moment, Mo Xiu, unable to maintain his composure, drew another long sword from the weapon rack with his left hand, wielding swords in both hands.

He took a deep breath and charged at Su Ming like a whirlwind, crossing swords slashing at Su Ming.

Su Ming raised his spear to block precisely, turning and delivering a fierce kick to Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu staggered back two steps.

At that moment, Su Ming slammed his right foot down, rushing towards Mo Xiu with unmatched momentum, thrusting the spear at him one strike after another, each aimed for vital points, each thrust setting up the next.

Mo Xiu swung his dual swords continuously to block.

Ding ding!

Sparks flew from the collision as he kept retreating.

At this moment, Su Ming’s spear broke through the wind of the dual swords, striking heavily on his hands.

Bam!

The intense pain almost made Mo Xiu let go of his weapons, and he decisively leaped back to widen the distance, then looked at Su Ming with a stunned expression.

At this moment, Su Ming stepped forward signaling to charge.

Mo Xiu reflexively stepped back.

Seeing this, Su Ming chuckled to himself.

Mo Xiu instantly realized he had been bluffed, and his whole face flushed with embarrassment.

"Sir Mo Xiu, I think this is about enough, no need to continue the fight, is there?"

Su Ming said with a smile.

He decided to leave it at that, giving Mo Xiu a way out. With so many people from Sky Dome City present, there was no need to push him to the extreme in embarrassment.

"I admit defeat."

Mo Xiu took a deep breath and admitted defeat with grace.

At this point, the officers of Sky Dome City were all dumbfounded upon hearing Mo Xiu’s words, incredulously saying.

"Did I hear that right? The young master actually lost?"

"How is it possible, how could the young master lose the fight."

...

The other legion members present also found it very unbelievable that Mo Xiu actually lost in the duel.

As for Rhein and others, they cheered excitedly.

"Haha, the boss won."

"I knew the boss would definitely win."

...

Lady Hai Lan, watching this scene, couldn’t hold back her emotions, tears of joy flowing.

Vickers Major General sat in the chair dazedly, muttering to himself.

"Truly monstrous!"

...

On the dueling stage, after Mo Xiu admitted defeat, Su Ming replied very gentlemanly.

"Thank you for letting me win."

Mo Xiu’s expression shifted, then he asked.

"Su Ming, how come your gun skill is so uncanny, it’s a lot like that of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, who taught you?"

"Mia."

Su Ming unhesitatingly attributed it to Mia.

Mo Xiu was also stunned upon hearing this, blurting out.

"Mia? When did she come up with such an impressive gun skill?"

"That’s not something I can disclose."

Su Ming said with a smile.

"Alright then, a bet is a bet, from now on, Crimson Country belongs to you."

Mo Xiu decided not to dwell further.

"Thank you!"

Su Ming replied happily.

"Su Ming, don’t be too quick to rejoice, though Crimson Country is yours, it’s useless, you cannot hold onto Crimson Country. In order to keep Crimson Country, you must bring it into the Federation! But Crimson Country can’t enter the Federation because it no longer has enough value, take care of yourself."

After Mo Xiu said this to Su Ming, he turned and left.

Watching Mo Xiu’s departing figure, Su Ming’s joy immediately vanished.

This is truly troublesome.

In fact, Mo Xiu was not wrong at all, in order to keep Crimson Country, he must pull it into the Federation.

But Crimson Country has already been plundered beyond recognition, its value exhausted, it simply cannot meet the requirements to join the Federation.
