I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 523 Thunderstorm Showdown (Page 12)

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Yuantian nodded emphatically, his heart filled with hope for the future.

Just then, as Zhang Yuantian was about to leave the bedroom, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, two familiar Eastern voices, trembling with sobs, suddenly rang out.

"Master Celestial! Please, please save us!"

Alpha and Zhang Yuantian were both startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

The two Eastern sisters, who had just been taken by Fanxing to wash up, had somehow managed to break free from Fanxing's watchful eye.

He rushed into the bedroom, knelt down in front of Zhang Yuntian, and kowtowed repeatedly.

Alpha remained silent and did not interrupt the other party's actions, acting like a spectator.

“Lord Lei, they…” Zhang Yuantian looked at the two women.

Although the dirt on their faces had been washed off and their tattered clothes had been changed, Zhang Yuntian felt that they looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place them.

"Celestial Master, do you still remember ten years ago when you and the Old Celestial Master came to the Su family in Suzhou to perform rituals and make offerings? You stayed at our Su family's place back then!" The older sister cried out incoherently, tears streaming down her face.

"I remember you! Your eyes, your aura, are exactly the same as they were ten years ago! Please, for the sake of how well the Su family treated you back then, save my sister and me! We don't want to be treated like playthings by those Westerners!"

"The Su family of Suzhou?" Zhang Yuntian was stunned for a moment, and the long-forgotten fragments of memory slowly pieced together.

Ten years ago, he and his father did stay at the Su family's house in Suzhou for a few days.

At that time, the Su family was a well-known wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, and they were known for their philanthropy.

Zhang Yuntian stared intently at the two women and finally recognized the two little girls who had grown up in the Su family years ago from their haggard faces.

"So... it was you guys." Zhang Yuntian was filled with emotion.

The connections and relationships in this world are truly wondrous.

Zhang Yuntian was still worrying about finding his sister and father when, in the blink of an eye, the descendants of his old friends appeared before him.

When Zhang Yuantian heard "Su Family of Suzhou" and "ten years ago," he was completely stunned.

He suddenly looked at Alpha, then at the two women, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to ask something but dared not.

Alpha nodded slightly to him, confirming his guess.

"My lord, they..." Zhang Yuantian was so excited that he could hardly speak.

“They are descendants of the Su family, so they can be considered old acquaintances of yours,” Alpha explained, then said to the two women, “Get up. Since we’ve run into each other, I won’t interfere anymore. From now on, you’ll be following…”

Alpha had intended to stay by Fanxing's side or be given a leisurely job.

But seeing the expectant looks in the two sisters' eyes, he changed his mind: "Fine, you two can stay with Zhang Yuantian. You're both Easterners, so you can look after each other. That bunny girl... you can have her too."

Alpha felt it had already been generous enough, so it gave Zhang Yuantian three "helpers" all at once.

Although the bunny girl is a bit of a hassle, she can still make up the number of people.

"No! I refuse!"

Unexpectedly, the usually taciturn bunny girl, who seemed to radiate electricity, suddenly stood up and spoke loudly.

Her long ears stood up high, and her eyes were fixed stubbornly on Alpha.

"I'm following you." The bunny girl's voice was clear and crisp, carrying an undeniable pride.

“Our beastmen have the sharpest intuition, and you exude an aura that makes me feel safe and powerful. That man,” she pointed to Zhang Yuantian, “while he has some strength, he’s too weak to protect me. I only follow the strong, and you are stronger than him, so I’m following you!”

These words shocked everyone in the room.

Alpha looked at the electric bunny girl with a wry smile, then at Zhang Yuantian, who looked embarrassed, and the two Su sisters.

Alpha originally intended to do a favor, but unexpectedly, this "favor" turned out to be quite eccentric.

Zhang Yuantian blushed deeply, wanting to refute but unable to utter a word.

His strength was indeed average, and in this world that revered martial prowess, it was indeed difficult for him to win the favor of a beastman woman.

Alpha shook his head helplessly. It seemed that fate could not be forced.

He looked at Zhang Yuantian and said meaningfully, "Since she doesn't want to be with you, then so be it. Yuantian, you must walk your own path in the end. You will take care of these two Miss Su. As for that bunny girl..."

Alpha looked at the pair of lively rabbit ears and laughed, "You can stay here and be my tea and water maid. But remember this: here, to gain respect, you don't rely on your tail and ears, but on your strength."

Hearing this, the bunny girl was somewhat unwilling, but seeing Alpha's unquestionable gaze, she obediently lowered her head.

The minor incident thus came to an end in a way that was both absurd and laughable.

As Alpha looked at the group of people with different backgrounds, all of whom were connected to him in countless ways, a long-lost warmth seemed to fill the cold corner of his heart.

Alpha knew that from this moment on, a force of his own, originating from the East, had quietly gathered around him.

"Let me see your strength." Alpha led the bunny girl to Bedo's underground training ground, where the heavy breathing of the two echoed against the cold metal walls.

Alpha stepped forward and flicked his finger lightly.

With a crisp "click," the slave collar binding the bunny girl fell to the ground.

The bunny girl, now free, froze, clutching the cold metal ring, her eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.

He immediately became wary: "Aren't you afraid I'll beat you to a pulp and then escape from here?"

The bunny girl raised her little face, her long, fluffy ears trembling slightly with excitement, her tone carrying a hint of suspicion and provocation.

"Then you can give it a try." Alpha's lips curled into a lazy yet confident smile.

Alpha casually flexed his wrist, completely disregarding the other party's threat.

"You asked for this!" the bunny girl snapped, her voice trailing off as she vanished in a blur.

Her long, slender legs unleashed astonishing power, propelling her forward like an arrow released from a bow.

In an instant, it closed in on Alpha, its fist, imbued with the power of lightning, heading straight for his face.

"Such speed!" Fanxing, who was watching from the corner, couldn't help but exclaim, instinctively covering her mouth with her hands, her heart in her throat.

Zhang Yuantian held his breath, his pupils contracting slightly.

He could sense a chilling, violent power within the bunny girl's attack.

However, Alpha didn't even blink.

Just as the fist, crackling with electricity, was about to touch the tip of his nose, he merely tilted his head slightly.

The punch, powerful enough to shatter rocks, grazed his cheek, the force of which whipped his hair into the air.

"Not bad speed, and the strength is passable too." Alpha chuckled, then swiftly chopped the bunny girl's wrist with a lightning-fast backhand strike.

The bunny girl reacted quickly, using the momentum to perform a nimble backflip in the air, and as soon as her feet touched the ground, she sprang up again.

She held back no longer, and faint blue arcs of electricity began to emanate from her body. She seemed to transform into a leaping bolt of lightning, launching a frenzied attack on Alpha from all directions.

Fists and feet clashed, the wind howled, and blue electric snakes writhed wildly between the two, each collision unleashing a piercing crackling sound.

Alpha is like an immovable king, unmoved by the bunny girl's attacks, no matter how cunning or swift they may be.

Alpha always manages to easily deflect attacks by the slightest margin, and can even occasionally launch a counterattack or two while on defense, leaving the bunny girl flustered.

This high-level, high-agility showdown instantly turned the training ground upside down.

The intensity of the battle reached its peak with the bunny girl's complete outburst.

As the battle became increasingly intense, her already ghostly figure transformed into a series of afterimages, almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.

The blue arcs of electricity surrounding him were no longer just flickering sporadically, but had coalesced into a raging electric grid.

Each punch and kick was accompanied by a deafening roar that tore through the air. The range of the lightning bolts grew larger and larger, enveloping half of the training ground in a dangerous blue light.

Alpha was able to thwart the relentless and fierce attacks, and the bunny girl's patience finally ran out, replaced by a beast-like rage.

She let out a sharp screech, and suddenly several inches of sharp bone claws shot out from between her originally cute fingers.

With a chilling glint and a force capable of tearing through steel, it frantically clawed at Alpha's vital points.

Faced with this relentless onslaught, Alpha finally stopped relying solely on its agility to dodge.

He let out a low shout, and a layer of condensed battle aura instantly surged around his body, like a solid armor, which forcefully withstood several sharp claw attacks from the bunny girl.

Sparks and electric flashes exploded on the surface of the shield, producing a teeth-grinding, ear-piercing sound.

Although the shield remained intact, the immense impact caused Alpha's steps to become disordered, forcing it to retreat repeatedly.

Clearly, in terms of absolute speed and explosive power, Alpha is already falling behind this completely insane beast.

After a fierce exchange, the bunny girl used the momentum to leap into the air, looking down at Alpha with a strange and contemptuous glint in her eyes.

Her voice was slightly breathless and arrogant: "You are the first man to withstand such a violent attack from me. Unfortunately, you are not qualified to be my master, much less worthy to be my man!"

Alpha steadied himself, but a more unrestrained smile crept onto his lips.

He felt a tingling sensation from the aura shield, and a long-lost fighting spirit surged within him.

“That’s not necessarily true,” Alpha said loudly, his voice steady and confident. “Your strength is indeed close to its peak, but I’ve only just begun to explore the potential of this body.”

Before the words were even finished, a shocking scene unfolded.

Alpha suddenly dispelled the indestructible aura shield around its body.

Without the shield to block it, the restless lightning element in the air seemed to have found an outlet, and began to pour wildly into his body!

Blue electric snakes instantly appeared on Alpha's skin, his hair stood on end, and his eyes emitted a terrifying electric light.

"Since you want to fight, then I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Alpha roared and charged into the bunny girl's lightning domain instead of retreating.

Without the constraints of defense, his speed instantly soared to an incredible level.

Two figures frantically weaved and collided amidst lightning and sparks.

Each clash of fists and claws unleashed a deafening roar, and the violent shockwaves shook the surrounding training facilities, causing them to tilt and sway.

This ultimate showdown of power and speed has transcended common sense, leaving only the most primal and intense collision.

The aftershocks of the battle still crackled in the air, and blue arcs of electricity leaped a few times on the wall before reluctantly disappearing into the darkness.

The situation on the field has become clear: the bunny girl's offensive has obviously weakened.

Each swing of its claws seemed to lack momentum, its once-proud speed slowed down, and it even began to stagger.
