The Black Market Chapter 184 - Cale Vs. Amro

Amro's eyes turned bloodshot as he glared hatefully at Cale.

This man had destroyed all of his plans! He had painstakingly brewed that plan for many years just to achieve his goal and attain his ambition of ruling the Celestial Sword Empire! But because of Cale's arrival, everything he had prepared was all for naught!

"Do you really think that I would allow you to kill me so easily, Duke Cale?! I may not be your match, but I can drag you to h.e.l.l with me!" Amro snarled with a malicious look on his face as he dashed towards Cale with his sword in hand.

After seeing how easily Cale dispatched Blood One, Amro knew that he was weaker than Cale.

Cale's eyes did not reveal a look of panic. He was still wearing a grim and cold look as he stared at Amro's face.

If not for Asteria's warning about Amro hiding his real strength, he would have also been fooled by his gentle and kind third prince facade. He wondered what could have happened to the Celestial Sword Empire if he wasn't there. Perhaps, Amro might have already become the emperor by then.

Cale raised his Void Wolf Immortal s.h.i.+eld to block Amro's attack.

"Claang!" Amro's sword was not even able to leave a mark on Cale's s.h.i.+eld. It still appeared seamless and in perfect condition.

"Dammit! Stop hiding behind that s.h.i.+eld like a d.a.m.ned turtle and fight me like a man! Aren't you the hero of the Celestial Sword Empire?! Aren't you the Unfettered Duke Cale?! Then show me that you're worthy enough for such praises from the crowd!" Amro taunted in a mocking tone.

Cale did not get angry at his words. He flashed Amro a faint smile and said. "So the third prince would resort to this kind of taunting. In that case, let me play with you without my s.h.i.+eld. We will see if you're indeed as strong as you think you are."

Cale returned his s.h.i.+eld inside his storage s.p.a.ce with a nonchalant look on his face.

His Void Wolf Immortal s.h.i.+eld was a strong weapon for defense. All Saint level weapons were not even capable of leaving a mark on its tough surface.

Perhaps only Immortal level weapons were capable of breaking its defenses, but what are Immortal level weapons? They are not just some random cabbages on the streets, they are treasures that were only owned by the most pinnacle of existences. And the ones capable of crafting such weapons were no longer existent on Shura.

In actual fact, Cale found it much easier to just wield his Void Wolf Immortal Sword. He could move freely and effectively despite its size. Furthermore, he could perform his Devil Arcanum Sword Movement much easily without his s.h.i.+eld.

'You asked for this, third prince...' Cale smirked coldly in his heart as he glanced at Amro's smug face.

"At least you are not a coward, Duke Cale." Amro wore a cold look when he saw Cale has unequipped his Void Wolf Immortal s.h.i.+eld. He thought that Cale was only able to defeat the Beast King with his s.h.i.+eld's help. Now that he had unequipped it, he would be like a scorpion who had lost its tough carapace.

"Stop the useless chatter. Make your move." Cale said while looking at Amro's moves. The other party might be much weaker than he was, but he didn't want to be careless. Even a wolf could threaten a tiger if caught unprepared. 

Amro's eyes flashed with a sharp glint after he heard Cale's words. It was the first time he had experienced being humiliated by someone. Furthermore, he had humiliated him many times in just one day! 

With a swift tap of his foot, Amro leaped towards Cale while swinging his sword ferociously at the latter. "Die!!" He shouted with a look that contorted with anger.

Cale did not back down. He stepped forward and met Amro's attack by raising his Void Wolf Immortal Sword forward.

"Claang!" 

Amro pushed his sword forward, but he could not make Cale take a step back. He then pushed himself backward and sprinted towards Cale once again. He then turned and did a turning backhand slash at Cale in one swift motion.

Cale was surprised, but Amro's attack appeared to be in slow-motion in his eyes. He ducked down in a timely manner to avoid Amro's flashy attack. 

In the views of the onlookers, Cale had barely managed to avoid the attack. They thought that he would be cleaved in half and he was just able to barely avoided that strike.

The two exchanged more than a hundred moves in just a little more than ten minutes, but neither of the two received any fatal damages.

Cale was still wearing the same cold look as he faced Amro. 'This Amro Doomblade is indeed strong. He could even contend against me if I don't use my Devil Arcanum Sword Movement.'

Amro slashed his sword but it was easily parried by Cale. 'Dammit! This b.a.s.t.a.r.d is so strong! No wonder he was able to kill the Beast King!'

Meanwhile, on a different part of the battlefield. The emperor was now fighting against Blood Two, while Old Zhang and Grand General Ling Tian were fighting against Blood Three.

Their fights caused multiple shockwaves that caused earth-shattering explosions in their wake. 

Even the other Immortal-Cla.s.s level experts refused to come near them in fear that they might get injured from the shockwaves that they produced.

The Blood Shadow Army and the soldiers of the Celestial Sword Empire were also locked in a fierce battle. Neither side had the upper hand. In fact, both armies appeared to be equal in terms of strength and battle power.

The once-flouris.h.i.+ng Blue Cloud City was now partly in ruins. The metallic scent of blood lingered in the air as the war continued. Mournful cries and devastated shouts echoed in the city, filling the air with a forlorn and dreary atmosphere.

Cale and Amro were still embroiled in a fierce battle with the latter now huffing and puffing with a sweaty face, while Cale maintained his cold expression.

'This can't go on or I might really fall against this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!' Amro shouted in his heart with a slightly fearful look.
