Chapter 275: Miracle and Submission (Part 2)
Her pupils glimmered with an unusual light, and her voice carried a touch of uncontainable arrogance as she spoke, chest strong and firm.
"Your Majesty, we have undergone rigorous training and are fully capable of serving you directly. The Sand Ridge Clan only submits to the strong. Rather than being trained by this adorable Miss Kitty, I would prefer to follow directly by your powerful side."
She deliberately cast a slightly disdainful and provocative glance at Sarah, her slender tongue gently scraping the scales at the corner of her mouth.
This young and bold female warrior of the Sand Ridge Clan was named Kana, recognized within her tribe as a gifted assassin. Despite her youth, she already possessed combat prowess at the peak of the War General Level, just a step away from breaking through to the Holy General Level!
It didn't stop there.
Back when she was only at the mid-stage of the War General Level, she had already managed to kill a Holy General Level warrior of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom and escaped unscathed!
With her outstanding past achievements, she had extreme confidence in her strength, which is why she didn't take the restrained presence of this figure before her seriously at all.
Upon hearing this, Siya's expression changed slightly, her amber vertical pupils instantly constricting, as she glared harshly at the young clanswoman.
The warning in her eyes was unmistakable.
However, the latter remained unmoved. Not only did she not show any restraint, but she even gave the Lord Demon King a hot, teasing look in front of a certain kitty.
The Sand Ridge Clan revered the strong. Only stronger females deserved to possess strong males, thus breeding even stronger offspring… this was almost an instinct engraved in her blood.
She suddenly found this hairless monkey rather good-looking, and there seemed to be a faintly boiling aura in his presence that stirred her blood.
Looking at that ambitious gaze, Sarah slightly furrowed her brows, and the beast-like vicious aura slowly emerged in her previously indifferent eyes.
Initially, she didn't take the provocations of these bugs seriously, just like how a lion wouldn't care about the mice scurrying through the sewer.
But this guy's gaze...
Wasn't it a bit too overreaching?
Looking at the ambitious lizard and the faintly hissing kitty, Luo Yan found it unexpectedly amusing, a deeper smile forming on his face.
It seems these Lizardmen still need some training.
"Your Majesty, please forgive Kana's offense. We—" Siya quickly stepped forward to mediate, trying to cool down the situation, but Luo Yan raised a hand to stop her.
"It's alright, it's good for young people to have ambition. I don't dislike subordinates who yearn for improvement."
At this point, Luo Yan looked at the Lizardman warrior named Kana with a smile and said.
"Since you are so confident, why not have a bout with Sarah. If you win, you can become the leader of this group of assassins."
As for what happens if she loses, he didn't say.
Because that outcome was almost certain, there was no need to state it.
However, Kana seemed to think otherwise, eagerly seizing this opportunity.
"Thank you for this opportunity, Your Majesty. I will not disappoint you." The two-meter-tall female lizard confidently stood tall, her right claw shaking, a bronze scimitar appearing in her hand, and she provocatively said to Sarah, "If I lose… Miss Kitty can deal with me as she pleases."
Luo Yan smiled faintly, treating her words as mere noise.
Seeing Sarah successfully roused with the desire to win, he added in a low voice.
"Just sparring, don't harm the camaraderie."
Sarah nodded gently, about to speak, when the foolish lizard across from her misunderstood the Lord Demon King's advice as being directed at her.
With a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, she twirled her scimitar into a neat flourish, confidently speaking first.
"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will play very gently with Miss Sarah. I absolutely won't damage your toy—"
Before she could finish speaking, a pitch-black dagger was already pressed against her throat!
The cold touch and the fear of death tingled her nerves through her scales, and only then did she come to her senses.
Kana's vertical pupils instantly contracted, her chin instinctively tilting back, as tiny beads of sweat trickled down the gaps of the scales on her forehead to the ground.
Her eyes stared straight at the expressionless Sarah pointing the dagger at her, the words in her throat abruptly freezing.
How fast!
When did this woman make her move?!
Lizardmen's sweat glands are not very developed; making her sweat was harder than making her bleed!
It wasn't just Kana; Nema, who was watching from the sidelines, also widened her eyes instantly, a hint of incredulity crossing her icy face.
Not to mention Kana at the War General Level couldn't see Sarah's movement clearly, even Nema at the Holy General Level only caught a glimpse of a shadow!
This person might have already reached the peak of the Holy General Level!
And possibly… she had stepped into the realm of a Divine General!
Siya was so anxious that her tail was in a spin, sometimes looking at Luo Yan wanting to say something, sometimes looking at the confrontation between Sarah and Kana, worried that the weapons' blind spots might cause a fatal incident.
In fact, if it weren't for Luo Yan's previous advice, this hated head would really have already rolled to the ground.
"You talk too much."
Shooting a cold glance at the immobilized Kana, Sarah gracefully retracted the dagger in her hand.
"Do you still want to continue the fight?"
The winner and loser had been decided.
The disparity in strength was too significant, in her view there was no need to continue humiliating the opponent.
As she heard that nonchalant voice, a trace of humiliation flashed across Kana's face, but it was quickly replaced by stubbornness and anger.
