Chapter 1056: Chapter 1055: Battle with Cole

As Lin Fan’s voice fell, the entire training ground instantly fell silent. The members of the Holy Knight Order all scattered to the sides, lining up in two rows, opening up a very spacious area for Lin Fan and Cole!

When Pope Kidd saw this scene, his eyes likewise filled with a playful, interested gleam!

As for Lin Fan’s strength, Pope Kidd also very much wanted to probe the truth for himself!

"Please!"

Cole immediately made a gesture of invitation!

"Please!"

Lin Fan just as politely made a "after you" gesture!

After that, Lin Fan took the lead, stepping toward the center of the training ground, with Cole closely following behind!

Very soon, the two faced off against each other. Even though the fight hadn’t begun yet, the entire training ground was already filled with the smell of gunpowder!

Bloodshot veins spread in Cole’s eyes, making his expression grow even colder and more ferocious!

In contrast, Lin Fan’s face was still calm and flat, as if he were just playing a game, without the slightest trace of nervousness!

"Fists and feet have no eyes, Mr. Tyrant, please be careful!" Cole kindly reminded him.

"Same to you!" Lin Fan shot back without losing any ground!

Lin Fan knew Cole wanted to use these words to make him timid. Unfortunately, Cole was underestimating him far too much.

Afraid?

That word had never truly existed in Lin Fan’s dictionary!

Cole waved his hand, stirring up a gust of wind. He reached behind him, and a member of the Holy Knight Order immediately handed a broad, heavy Cross Sword into Cole’s hand!

Cole gave it a casual swing, and the broad, heavy Cross Sword sliced through the air, letting out a harsh whooshing sound!

"Mr. Tyrant, please!" Cole shouted loudly!

Facing the captain of the Holy Knight Order, Lin Fan did not dare be careless. His hand swept across his waist, and the Soft Sword was gripped in his hand. Powerful Qi poured in, and the Soft Sword instantly straightened, turning razor-sharp and letting out a crisp "ding"!

"Fight!"

At that moment, Cole let out a loud roar and immediately charged toward Lin Fan in big strides!

His body was abnormally robust; every time his feet landed on the ground they made a dull "bang, bang", like drums being beaten!

Don’t be fooled by Cole’s burly frame—his speed was not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Lin Fan, raising the Cross Sword high and smashing it down toward Lin Fan’s head!

Crash~

That sword came cleaving down, slicing all the air in its path apart, carrying a momentum that could almost split mountains and rivers with a single Sword Slash!

Lin Fan’s expression tightened. Faced with this crazed strike, how could he dare be careless? His feet slid across the ground as he quickly retreated three to five steps!

With a resounding "clang"!

Cole’s sword smashed fiercely into the ground, actually shaking it open into a long crack!

"His strength is great. If I meet him head-on, I might not be his match!"

Lin Fan immediately formed some judgments about Cole’s strength in his heart!

Seeing that his first strike had missed, Cole twisted his wrist, and the Cross Sword in his hand once again hacked wildly toward Lin Fan!

Lin Fan was unhurried. With a flip of his hand, his Soft Sword slashed out just as quickly!

With a ringing "clang"!

Their weapons smashed together fiercely in midair!

Lin Fan only felt his arm go slightly numb.

"His strength really is terrifying!" Lin Fan thought to himself!

Lin Fan didn’t dare hesitate. After that one slash, his arm immediately swept downward, the Soft Sword sliding along the edge of the Cross Sword and cutting toward Cole’s wrist, extremely fast!

The Soft Sword scraped along the Cross Sword’s edge, kicking up a spray of sparks!

Cole’s face changed. He hurriedly let go with his right hand that was gripping the Cross Sword, dodged Lin Fan’s strike, then shot out his left hand, snatching the slowly falling Cross Sword out of midair and reversing it in a slash toward Lin Fan’s throat!

This sword was extremely fast and sharp, tearing the air apart. Even though the edge hadn’t reached him yet, the razor sword wind already brought a chill to Lin Fan’s throat!

"Nice speed, but still too slow!"

Lin Fan drew his foot back, retreating two steps in a row. Cole’s slash brushed dangerously past the front of Lin Fan’s throat without leaving a scratch!

At the same time, Lin Fan’s arm was already whipping upward, his Soft Sword thrusting up to stab right against the Cross Sword in Cole’s hand. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

With a crisp "clang", the Cross Sword was knocked flying by the Soft Sword.

Then Lin Fan quickly stepped in, and in the blink of an eye he was right in front of Cole, driving a punch straight out!

Cole was greatly shocked. He hadn’t expected Lin Fan’s speed to be this fast. It was too late to swing his sword; he could only throw out a punch of his own, smashing it toward Lin Fan’s fist!

"Boom!"

Their fists collided with a muffled bang!

From the point where their fists met, a wave of air spread outward!

Although Cole’s physique was extremely robust, Lin Fan had Powerful Qi protecting his body. The force of this punch was obvious!

"Pa, pa, pa"—a flurry of footsteps as Cole was blasted back three steps by Lin Fan’s punch!

As soon as this scene appeared, everyone around couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath!

In their hearts, Cole had always been their War God. Now he was actually forced back by Lin Fan—simply unbelievable!

"Refreshing!"

Cole laughed loudly instead, his fighting spirit flaring even higher. Gripping the Cross Sword tightly, he charged forward again at speed!

Before Cole even reached Lin Fan, the Cross Sword in his hand was already swinging rapidly!

In an instant, the air was filled with shrill whooshing sounds, each one piercing to the ear!

Lin Fan didn’t meet him head-on, instead retreating rapidly!

Cole pursued relentlessly, slashing at Lin Fan again and again. His Swordsmanship was wild and sweeping, extremely ferocious, like a crazed beast!

Sword shadows filled the space before Lin Fan, to the point he couldn’t find a chance to counterattack for the moment!

However, Lin Fan did not panic, and simply kept retreating!

Cole charged forward; Lin Fan’s speed was not the least bit slower as he backed away!

In just a short moment, Cole had slashed more than fifty times in a row!

Unfortunately, those fifty-plus strikes hadn’t even touched a single strand of Lin Fan’s hair.

Under such large, continuous swings, the drain on one’s strength was obvious. Sure enough, Cole’s movements started to slow down!

"Now’s the time!"

Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing through the narrow slit!

He bent both knees and stomped hard on the ground. His body shot up like a roc spreading its wings, and the Soft Sword in his hand whipped up, striking precisely against the Cross Sword in Cole’s hand!

With a sharp "ding"!

Lin Fan used a tremendous amount of force, and with Cole already over-exhausted, this blow sent pain lancing up his arm. His hand could no longer hold the Cross Sword, and it was knocked flying, landing not far away!

Then Lin Fan flipped his wrist, his body still in midair. He kicked hard at empty air, borrowing strength while airborne; his descending body surged forward another half meter, appearing right in front of Cole!
