Ling Tian stood with his long sword in hand, looking at Alexander, who was sitting on the ground, in a victor's pose.
"Mr. Alexander, how are you? Can you still fight?
I stand by my earlier statement. If you wish, you can rest and then we can continue!"
"I... I lost!"
As soon as Alexander finished speaking, he fainted. Everyone rushed over. At this moment, Ling Tian also walked up, carrying his greatsword.
Seeing this, Lancelot blocked Alexander. He thought Ling Tian intended to take advantage of Alexander's unconscious state to kill him.
Ling Tian saw Lancelot's reaction and gave a wry smile. With a flash of thought, the greatsword in his hand disappeared.
"Let me examine him. I am a doctor!"
Ling Tian's words stunned everyone. They hadn't expected this incredibly powerful young man to also be a doctor.
After all, Alexander's immense strength was monstrous, yet this young man was even more monstrous. It was unbelievable that such a monster was also a doctor.
"Uncle Lancelot, let Ling Tian examine Alexander. Ling Tian is an excellent doctor, a top-tier physician. There are very few people in this world whose medical skills surpass Ling Tian's!"
Lancelot nodded and moved aside. He trusted Aurora.
Ling Tian stepped forward, placed his hand on Alexander's pulse, and simultaneously activated his Heavenly Eye divine ability to observe Alexander's condition.
After a few minutes, Ling Tian stopped and withdrew his hand.
"He has fallen into a deep sleep. This sleep is beneficial for him, as it is repairing his body and replenishing his depleted stamina.
However, he will need some nourishment!"
As Ling Tian spoke, a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. He opened it, took out two pills, pried open Alexander's mouth, and fed them to him.
Immediately after, Ling Tian placed his hands on Alexander's jaw. The unconscious Alexander instinctively swallowed the two pills.
Ling Tian clapped his hands and stood up.
"Alright, Mr. Lancelot, shall we continue? Who is next?"
Everyone exchanged glances. Those who had been eager to fight now retreated.
This was no trifling matter. Alexander was considered one of the top combatants among Aurora's subordinates.
These individuals were no match for Alexander, especially when he entered his berserk state, where he was like a god of death.
Yet, this god of death now lay there like a beaten dog, all thanks to the young man before them. Who dared to underestimate him now?
Seeing this, Lancelot knew it was time for him to step forward. He stood up and walked towards Ling Tian.
"Mr. Ling Tian, I will be your next opponent.
However, would you care to rest for a while and recover your strength before our battle? Otherwise, my victory would be unearned!"
Lancelot's words earned him a sliver of Ling Tian's favor. At least this man possessed some sense of honor, what could be called chivalry, and was not someone who would resort to any means to win.
"There's no need, Mr. Lancelot. It's not necessary. My skills are still abundant. Let's not waste any more time!"
Lancelot nodded, took off his cloak, and handed it to someone beside him. Then, he gestured to his waist, where a very valuable item was sheathed.
"Mr. Ling Tian, there is something I must make clear. During our duel, I will be using my handgun.
This is because this gun is an important part of my combat strength!
Of course, if you wish, you are also welcome to use firearms or similar weapons!"
"Mr. Lancelot, thank you for your honesty. Please proceed, I am prepared!"
"Very well, please!"
Lancelot said, drawing the heavy sword from his waist. He crossed the heavy sword diagonally in front of his chest and performed a fencing salute towards Ling Tian.
With a flash of thought, a crimson long sword appeared in Ling Tian's hand. This was Ling Tian's Crimson Blaze Treasure Sword.
Ling Tian knew that his opponent was a worthy adversary, and he decided to show equal respect by getting serious.
Lancelot placed his right hand behind his back, holding the heavy sword in his left, and assumed a ready-to-attack stance. Ling Tian, on the other hand, held his sword with one hand, appearing calm and composed, unfazed by whatever his opponent might do.
Suddenly, Lancelot moved. The heavy sword in his hand drew a cross in the air, and then, a cross-shaped burst of fighting energy flew directly towards Ling Tian!
"Well done!"
Ling Tian shouted. He could observe the cross-shaped fighting energy released by his opponent with his Heavenly Eye divine ability. This was the famous Cross Slash in the European martial arts world, and one of the most commonly used techniques by martial artists who wielded fighting energy.
Ling Tian flicked his wrist, and a surge of true essence was released along his long sword. Ling Tian pointed the sword tip forward, and a ball of crimson light shot out from the Crimson Blaze Treasure Sword in his hand.
The red sword light directly collided with the Cross Slash, exploding in mid-air.
With a burst of flame and a loud bang, Alexander's Cross Slash was also annihilated.
Alexander was somewhat surprised that his technique had been so easily neutralized. He had no idea that Ling Tian was using Sword Qi.
This Sword Qi, utilizing one's true essence and channeling it through a weapon for ranged attacks, was not much inferior in power to the Cross Slash, but it consumed far less energy to use.
The method of using fighting energy like the Cross Slash also existed in ancient China, but this combat method was too primitive and had a low cost-performance ratio, thus it was eliminated long ago.
Despite his technique being broken, Lancelot was not discouraged. He flicked his wrist and released another Cross Slash.
Ling Tian wasn't sure what his opponent was planning, but he felt Lancelot was being stubborn. Even though his technique had been broken, he continued to attack. Was this the so-called knight's spirit?
As Ling Tian pondered, the Cross Slash had already flown in front of him. Ling Tian flicked his wrist and swung his long sword, unleashing another red light that directly hit the Cross Slash, exploding in mid-air.
However, at that moment, a figure shot out, drawing several streaks of light with his heavy sword, directly locking down Ling Tian's movement!
