Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

He was naturally more than happy to do so, and planned to capture the red-haired woman and bring her before her master to humiliate her.

However, the red-haired woman was actually a descendant of dragon blood. Although she seemed to have only recently entered the fourth rank and was not yet proficient in using her power, she still managed to slightly suppress him due to the effect of her bloodline.

The two fought fiercely.

He erupted several times, eventually using some of his trump cards to severely injure the woman and escape.

Although his first attempt failed, he never considered giving up.

They planned to sneak away from Qiao Wei on Mamen Street under the cover of night.

Once Qiao Wei is awakened by him, she will surely be moved by his actions. Then, the two of them can cultivate together to increase their strength, and then return to take down Master Tata's student and avenge themselves.

Thinking of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on Kado's face.

He always appears very serious in public, but in reality, he's not the serious type at all.

The reason he has been acting this way is because Qiao Wei once said that she prefers more mature men.

He always acted serious and mature in public in order to cater to Qiao Wei's preferences.

He turned a corner, estimating that he should be almost there, and Qiao Wei should be not far ahead.

He quickened his pace without realizing it.

But a figure wearing a raccoon mask emerged from the alleyway and blocked his way.

"Good evening, Your Excellency."

Luo Xiu smiled and said:

"I heard you hit one of my men."

Chapter 128 The Investigation Shows Signs of Progress (Part Two)

Kado looked at Luo Xiu in front of him, his expression hardening.

He had certainly seen the portraits that were circulating everywhere and recognized that the man in front of him wearing the raccoon mask was Master Tata's student.

That is, the person who killed Kelda.

"Hehe, I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Kado chuckled twice:

"We've only met once before, haven't we? In front of the Knights' headquarters."

He kept glancing around, worried that the red-haired woman he had seen might be hiding somewhere nearby.

He would be overpowered by the red-haired woman in a one-on-one situation, and in a two-on-one situation, he would have absolutely no chance of winning.

Wasn't I clear enough?

Luo Xiu looked at Kado, who was looking around, and smiled:

"Let me put it another way. You hit my man, so out of courtesy, I should naturally beat you up too."

"Don't worry, this is a fair one-on-one match."

Upon hearing Luo Xiu's words, Kado took a deep breath. He knew that the moment he was exposed, he had no choice but to fight to the death.

"Are you so confident that you can defeat me?"

A fierce glint flashed across Kado's bald head:

“I admit that your servant has some skills, but a servant is just a servant after all, not worthy of being called a gentleman. I also hope that we can have a fair and square duel.”

Upon hearing Kado's words, Luo Xiu couldn't help but let out a sneer.

This bald man was clearly much more cunning than he appeared. Even though he had already agreed to a one-on-one fight, he was still worried and wanted to use reverse psychology to make sure Tassanya wouldn't help.

"Your Excellency can rest assured, there are no problems at all."

Luo Xiu spoke softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiu saw Kado on the opposite side immediately squat down on the spot, and two huge hexagonal shields appeared in his hands. With the sound of metal scraping and clicking, the two huge shields were put together to form a towering wall, which emitted a pure white holy light.

At the same time, a circular barrier lit up around him, with flowing light swirling on it, enveloping him within it.

Third-tier Paladin Skill: [Defense Domain] The effect is to create a spherical domain that increases the defense and stamina of those within it.

Fourth-tier Paladin Skill: [Shield Reflection] greatly increases frontal defense and reflects a certain percentage of damage received from the frontal attack.

Before coming here, Luo Xiu had heard Tassanya talk about these two skills, especially the shield return, which had caused Tassanya a great loss.

This shows that Thorn Guardian is indeed a very powerful piece of equipment. One piece of equipment is equivalent to the sum of two skills of a Tier 3 Paladin and a Tier 4 Paladin. Even if the effect may be slightly weaker, it is still powerful enough.

Luo Xiu just didn't expect Kado to play like a turtle right from the start, after all, according to the information he received, Kado was not a paladin who was good at defense.

【The Merciful Punisher】, Kado, the third place winner of the tournament three years ago, is best known for his punishment-type skills.

Behind the shield, Kado looked much more confident than before.

He underestimated his opponent in the battle against Tassanya this morning, and as usual, he used punishment-type skills to try to win quickly, but ended up losing the initiative.

But this time was different. He decided to adopt a cautious tactic, first relying on his defensive domain and shield reflection to weaken the opponent's combat power through defense and damage reflection, and then secretly using his second fourth-tier paladin skill: [Divine Retribution].

This is a charged skill. If it is cast instantly, it is only fast, but after charging, the power of the skill will be greatly increased, and it can even pose a certain threat to the fourth-tier higher-level opponents.

Although he only came in third place in the competition three years ago, he always felt that if he had participated in the next two competitions, his ranking might have risen.

"bring it on."

He was confident that any attack would be futile if it couldn't break through the shield's defenses.

"Dang Dang Dang."

It sounded like someone was knocking on the door in front of the shield, and Luo Xiu's voice came:

"Lord Kado, now that you're ready, I'll begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiu raised his fist high.

boom! ! !

Fifteen minutes later.

Luo Xiu moved the two shields lying across the ground, revealing Kado, who was covered in wounds and unable to move, beneath them. A smile appeared on his face behind the tanuki mask:

"Sir, are you satisfied with this fair and square duel?"

Kado stared at Luo Xiu in horror, unable to utter a word.

In fact, he had already lost the ability to resist within minutes of the start of the battle, and the demon in front of him beat him for another ten minutes.

He was certain that the terrifying power was definitely not at the level of a lower fourth-tier cultivator, and all the rumors circulating outside were wrong.

"Your Excellency, you have won."

Kado's voice was somewhat muffled:

"Please allow me to leave."

"Please rest assured, Lord Kado, I am not a bloodthirsty person."

Luo Xiu offered a soft word of comfort, but Kado got goosebumps.

He thought of Kelda, who had died under mysterious circumstances. He had once secretly mocked Kelda for dying so ambiguously. Now that it was his turn, he truly understood that fear.

Kelda was a student of Count Shek, and the man before him had killed him and escaped unscathed. He himself was merely a student of the Dean of the Holy Knight Academy; the other party had no reason to hesitate to kill him.

"Your Excellency, is it really necessary to be so ruthless?"

Kado hurriedly spoke up:

“If you release me, you will gain the friendship of our Holy Knight Academy. You need friends in Kanriel, right? No one in Kanriel has ever been able to dominate, and you will not be able to either.”

"Even if you beat me, so what? There are many people stronger than you. If you knock Qiao Wei unconscious, the Dean of the Sword Academy won't be able to come looking for you, but the Sword Maniac Gallo will. If you kill Kelda, Count Shek's top student and second-in-command will definitely come looking for you."

"There are many strong people in Kanriel. You may be stronger than me, but can you defeat them?"

"Making enemies is a dead end. You should think it over carefully and not go astray."

Luo Xiu listened quietly to Kado finish speaking, then smiled and said:

"Since making enemies is not a viable path, why did you come looking for trouble with me in the first place, Lord Kado?"

"This……"

Kado's eyes darted around, unable to come up with any excuse.

"If I gain your friendship, Lord Cardo, will you help me deal with the sword fanatic Gallo? Or will you help me deal with Count Shek's remaining two students?"

"This one……"

Kado was speechless again.

“Look, Lord Cardo, your reasoning is untenable, and your friendship is of no help to me.”

Luo Xiu smiled and said:

"But I have a solution. Why don't you give me your resources, and I'll use them to take care of all those troublemakers."

"At that time, you'll be considered to have helped me."

No, don't—

Before Kado could finish begging for mercy, Luo Xiu punched him unconscious.

"Tasanya!"

Luo Xiu shouted towards a small alley in the distance.

Tassanya and Nika emerged from the alley.

Tassanya jogged up to Luo Xiu and respectfully said:

"Master, you called me."

Luo Xiu pointed to Kado at his feet:

“Drag it to the store entrance and put it next to that woman.”

"Yes."

Tassanya spoke up.
