Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Defeat the Red Earl Again
The Red Earl's swordsmanship style remained the same as before, with every move attacking the weakest point of the enemy's swordsmanship in order to gain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.
Such a fierce battle stunned the people outside the island. It was the first time for many of them to see such an intense and terrifying battle.
Even with binoculars, they couldn't keep up with the speed of Li Yuan and Red Earl.
If any of the two people on the island wanted to kill them, they would probably be killed in just a few moves!
"Is this the captain's true strength? Too strong!!!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It was the first time that Howard saw Li Yuan fighting with all his strength.
"This is not the captain's strongest strength. Now the two of them are just competing in swordsmanship. Even the Armament Haki and Conqueror Haki are useless."
Ashura boy said in a deep voice.
He knew Li Yuan very well. He had also seen the great battle between Li Yuan and Zhan Guo. He was deeply impressed by the power of the two sides, where the swords and fists failed to completely collide.
"I haven't even used my full strength yet!"
Howard looked in shock at the thousand-meter-long slashes that flew over the island from time to time. He felt that he could not even take on the slashes that were just casually slashed.
Even with such a powerful force, it was not even full strength!
The swordsmanship competition between Li Yuan and Red Earl lasted for a whole day.
At this time, the noble clothing on the Red Earl had many more sword marks, and although Li Yuan's clothes were also torn in several places, they were much neater than those on the Red Earl.
"When it comes to swordsmanship, I am not as good as you. The title of the world's greatest swordsman belongs to you!"
The Red Earl looked at Li Yuan seriously and said.
He has challenged various powerful men in the New World. In terms of swordsmanship, he believes that he is no worse than anyone else, even Roger and Golden Lion, whose swordsmanship is not bad.
But that was all. Roger was more powerful with his Conqueror Haki, while Golden Lion was more powerful with his Floating Fruit. In terms of swordsmanship, he, the Red Earl, thought he was stronger!
But now, after seeing Li Yuan, he had to admit that Li Yuan was better than him in swordsmanship!
Although Li Yuan's title of the world's greatest swordsman does not need to be recognized by others, he was still very happy to hear the Red Earl say this.
"Hahahaha, Ryder, now that the warm-up is over, let's have a real fight!"
As he spoke, his armament color and domineering aura were simultaneously entangled around the seven-star sword wound, perfectly merging with the three sword intents, as if these five forces themselves were one.
"Hahahaha, okay, come on then!"
Feeling Li Yuan's passionate desire to fight, the Red Earl naturally would not refuse.
This time he came to Li Yuan, also wanting to challenge Li Yuan and get back the ground he had lost.
"The Secret of Tyranny and the Integration of Three Elements: Slaying God!!"
Li Yuan rushed forward first, and the moment the Seven Star Sword slashed out, the extreme power caused ripples in the space.
Endless blood-red lightning burst out from the sword, as if to turn the entire island into a place of roaring lightning.
The extreme pressure was as if even a god would be killed by this sword!
"The Secret of the Sword: Piercing the Clouds!!"
Facing Li Yuan's attack, Earl Red was not afraid at all. He also used all his strength and met the attack with a sword.
"BOOM!!!!"
At the moment when the Seven Star Sword and the Umbrella Sword collided in the air, the extreme force collision caused the space to distort, and there was a layer of compressed air between the two swords that prevented them from colliding.
The violent aftermath of the extreme air pressure caused the ground hundreds of meters around them to shatter, and the sea level dropped by more than ten meters.
Under the extreme competition between the two sides, the red lightning produced by the entanglement and collision of the domineering color spread all over the island.
Everything on the island was destroyed by the ravages of the red lightning.
Even the sea outside the island was struck by the aftermath of the collision and created waves hundreds of meters high.
Barrett and others standing on the boat outside the island watched this scene in horror.
The battle between Li Yuan and Admiral Zhan Guo did not have such a terrifying aftermath! "The captain has become stronger again!"
Only Ashura Douji knew best that Li Yuan's strength had become even stronger than when he fought against the Navy Admiral Zhan Guo.
Otherwise, how to explain all this?
What shocked him even more was that he didn't expect that the Red Earl was so powerful that he could fight his own captain like this.
Doesn't that mean that the other party is on the same level as our captain?
"Yes, the captain has become stronger again, and I have to become even stronger. In the future, I also hope to fight alongside the captain!"
Barrett said excitedly that he loved that kind of invincible power and it made him so excited.
If an ordinary person saw this scene, a person with a weak mind would probably be devastated.
But the people present are all people who have seen the world and are trusted by Li Yuan. They will not lose confidence because of this.
Such battles between strong men would only stimulate and spur them on, making them work harder to pursue the pace of the strong men.
"Ryder!!!!"
"Li Yuan!!!!"
Li Yuan and Red Earl, who were in a stalemate, both put all their strength into their swords, determined to defeat each other!
"Boom!!!"
In the end, Li Yuan was still more powerful, and with one sword he sent the Red Earl flying thousands of meters away.
"Ahem!!!"
The Red Earl used the Moon Step to steady himself in the air, but he spat out a mouthful of
blood.
"Come again!!"
The Red Earl didn't even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and rushed towards Li Yuan again. Since he couldn't defeat him head-on, he would attack from the side.
Fighting is never just a head-on confrontation. What he is good at is finding the enemy's flaws and then delivering a fatal blow.
"Come again!!"
Seeing the Red Earl rushing back, Li Yuan raised his sword and fought with him again.
With the support of Armament Haki and Domineering Haki, the battle above became more
intense.
Every time the two of them collided with all their strength, the entire island would shake.
The island seemed to be wailing, blaming the two people on it, why they had to fight a big battle on its small island? Didn't they know that a small island like it could not withstand their tossing and turning?
As the battle entered its climax, both sides were extremely solemn and highly focused, not
daring to relax at all.
When it comes to a fight of their level, it is impossible to determine the winner in a short period of time, so it is very important to control the rhythm of the battle.
Once you let the opponent fall into your fighting rhythm, you can lead him along, and
possibly defeat him.
It is even possible that just one mistake in a battle could lead to a complete loss.
"This is too much. If this continues, the island will probably be destroyed."
Nepal said with eyes wide open.
"It's just an island anyway. The most important thing is, how long will it take for Big Brother
to defeat the opponent?"
Kalu said nonchalantly.
"I guess it will take at least five days," Kano said.
"Impossible, five days is too short. I think it should be at least seven days."
Ashura boy said.
"I guess nine days!"
Barrett said.
"Stop arguing and just watch quietly!"
Just as everyone was arguing, Lazili stopped everyone from talking.
Seeing that it was Lazili who spoke, no one else dared to say anything. They just watched the battle on the island quietly.
The Red Earl's strength at this moment has reached the same level as when he broke through
in the battle with Garp last year.
But after a year, Li Yuan became stronger again on his original basis. If the Red Earl had come
to challenge him a year ago, Li Yuan might not have been able to do anything to him.
As time passed, the Red Earl was still suppressed by Li Yuan. The bloodthirsty ability of the Seven Star Sword gave the Red Earl a headache.
Once you are cut by the Seven Star Sword, part of your blood will be sucked away.
The Red Earl, who had not eaten the devil fruit, could not compare to those animal-type devil
fruit users in terms of physical strength and recovery ability, so he could only use his sword to block the Seven Star Sword and resolutely prevent the Seven Star Sword from hitting him. Li Yuan did not have the bloodthirsty ability of the Seven Star Sword, so he fought the Red Earl by exchanging injuries for injuries.
After all, this is just a competition, not a life-and-death battle, and he won't use that
method.
"Hahaha, so refreshing!!!"
Li Yuan felt very happy when he summarized the battle process with the Red Earl, using all his
knowledge and strength.
It feels so good to wield the Seven Star Sword wantonly and release all the power!
In this world, there are not many people who can fight against Li Yuan. Those people are not good people and they all have different stances. As the captain of the
Wuji Pirates, he can't just go and compete with them casually.
But the Red Earl does not belong to any force and is a very good sparring partner!
"The Secret of Tyranny and the Integration of Three Elements: Killing God!!" The murderous aura on Li Yuan suddenly surged, and the evil spirit on the Seven Star Sword
that had slaughtered countless lives also surged.
The bloody figure of Shura appeared behind Li Yuan, as if Shura was alive and killing the gods.
As soon as the sword came out, the pure white sky was dyed blood red in an instant. The bloodthirsty Shura moved forward without hesitation. Even if a god stood in front of it, it would be killed by it!
"Hahahaha, just in time!"
"Whirl Rain Slash!"
The Red Earl concentrated all his strength on the umbrella sword, and in an instant, it spun like a torrential rain, wantonly and violently washing away any enemy under the rain! When the two sides' ultimate moves collided again, the whole world exploded, and the rocks
around the collision were violently impacted into small stones in an instant, flying and bursting in all directions.
The smoke and dust rolled like dragons, the lightning flashed wildly and filled the entire
island, and the tsunami surged and surged, presenting a majestic sight of waves crashing against the shore.
When all the shocking wonders faded away, the Red Earl's body flew backwards like a stream
of light.
"It was so fun, let's do it again!!"
But the next moment, the Red Earl's passionate voice was heard, and then his figure rose from
the ground like a ghost and rushed towards Li Yuan again. "Hahahaha, let's do it again!!"
Li Yuan also laughed loudly, and appeared in front of the Red Earl in an instant with the Seven
Star Sword in hand. He slashed down with the sword, and collided violently with the Red Earl
again. Both sides were fighting very excitedly. As their physiques were different from those of ordinary people, they were the strongest people in the world.
This caused the battle to last longer than everyone in the Wuji Pirates had expected, lasting
for ten days and ten nights!
At this point, the strength of the physique was reflected. The Red Earl was already slowed
down due to lack of physical strength, and his sword was not as strong as it was at the
beginning. Although Li Yuan had consumed a lot of physical energy, his physique was stronger than that of the Red Earl, and his strength did not decrease.
"The Secret of Tyranny and the Integration of Three Elements: Slaying God!!"
The moment Li Yuan approached the Red Earl again with the Seven Star Sword in his hand, he
used the move of beheading gods to perfection. A strong sense of oppression came again, and
the Seven Star Sword locked onto the Red Earl's body tightly! Facing Li Yuan's sword, not even the Red Earl could dodge it. This sword was a sure hit!
"The Secret of the Sword: Piercing the Clouds!!"
The Red Earl raised his umbrella sword and concentrated all his strength into this sword
move.
"Bang!!!"
The violent collision of the domineering colors in the air sounded again, but this time it did
not last long, and the Red Earl was chopped by Li Yuan and flew thousands of meters away.
The Red Earl's body fell to the ground, looking extremely miserable, with blood gushing out
of his mouth again.
"Ryder, I win!!"
At this time, Li Yuan did not continue to chase, but stood there and spoke calmly.
"Yeah, you win and I lose again!"
After the Red Earl stood up, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed an
ugly smile.
He didn't expect that in the past few years, he had challenged strong people everywhere and
his strength improved rapidly.
Thinking that he was strong enough, he challenged Li Yuan again, hoping to regain his former
position, but he lost again.
During the battle, the Red Earl had already realized that his physical strength was being
consumed too quickly. No, it should be said that his physical strength was not as good as Li
Yuan's. Until now, his physical strength is not enough for him to exert his peak strength, but Li Yuan's physical strength is still abundant, and his fighting power is no weaker than at the beginning. After a day when the same situation still existed, the Red Earl knew that if he continued to fight, he would eventually lose!
"Hahaha, Reid, it's just a game, winning or losing is not important, come on, I'll buy you a
drink!"
After seeing the Red Earl admit defeat, Li Yuan laughed and said.
Seeing Li Yuan's face, if he didn't know he couldn't beat him, he would have wanted to punch
him hard.
Now you say winning or losing is not important, then why did you say I lost just now?
After I admitted that I lost, you said winning or losing is not important!!
This made the Red Earl's face twitch!
"captain!!!"
After Li Yuan and Red Earl came onto the boat, Barrett and the others looked at them with
excitement and admiration.
"Come, let me introduce you to this, this is the Red Earl Redfield, also known as the Lonely
Red!"
Li Yuan introduced with a smile.
"Hello, senior!!"
Barrett and others said respectfully that on the sea, the strong are respected, and it was not unjustified for them to call them seniors.
