When Severe Winter saw Zhang Diba, he was taken aback and thought to himself: Didn't I receive information that Zhang Diba had been severely injured and died? Why is he here today? Moreover, it seems he has made a breakthrough. However, Severe Winter quickly recovered from his surprise.
Severe Winter stood among his troops, pointing his sword at Zhang Diba with his right hand: "Zhang Diba, you rebel! Old Man severely injured you before, and now that you have recovered, instead of repenting, you dare to lead an army in rebellion. Are you not afraid of death?"
Zhang Diba, standing on his mount, coldly laughed: "Hmph, afraid of death? I have already died once; death is no longer terrifying to me. I came here today to take your head. Are you ready, Your Majesty?"
"Come and take it if you can. Old Man wants to see just how capable this traitor really is. Who is willing to bring me the head of this traitor? The one who brings me Zhang Diba's head will receive 50,000 Merchant Gold."
As soon as Severe Winter finished speaking, someone from behind responded: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will bring him his head." After saying this, the man exerted himself and charged to the front lines on his mount. He brandished two axes and shouted: "Zhang Diba, come out and die!"
Before Zhang Diba could respond, a general from the New World charged out from their ranks. This general swung a massive hammer and declared: "Why use a sledgehammer for a small matter? Let Old Man accompany you for a few rounds."
The general from the New World was none other than Fang Guo, the father of Fang Tianlong. Fang Guo approached the front lines without exchanging words with the enemy and swung his large hammer down. The opposing general wielded his axes and engaged Fang Guo in battle.
Both were evenly matched as mid-level Advanced Knights with comparable strength. They exchanged blows for over thirty rounds without a clear victor. At that moment, another general under Severe Winter charged forward and said to the front-line general: "Don't rush, little brother; I'll deal with that old man."
As soon as he finished speaking, this general rushed into the fray wielding two iron rods. Originally, Fang Guo could hold his own against one opponent since they were evenly matched, but this new arrival was slightly stronger than the previous one, causing Fang Guo to struggle.
Seeing that it was now two against one, the New World side also took action. Hong Bin brandished his dual blades and shouted loudly as he joined the fight. The four warriors clashed fiercely with their mounts involved in the battle as well. The two from Severe Winter had slightly superior strength compared to Fang and Hong, but the advantage of the two veterans lay in their teamwork, compensating for their lack of raw power.
However, as time passed, the two veterans began to feel overwhelmed. This made Fang Tianlong and Hong Tao extremely anxious; they wanted to help but felt they lacked the strength to do so while knowing their father was close to exhaustion.
At that moment, Liu Guanfeng gave Cui Zhongyi a knowing glance. Cui Zhongyi understood and shouted: "Old Leaders, take a break; leave these two brats to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Zhongyi rushed into the battle circle. He swung his large stick and instantly blocked the attacks from both enemy generals. At this moment, Hong Bin and Fang Guo breathed a sigh of relief as they brought their mounts back to their side while reminding him: "General Cui, be careful."
"It doesn't matter." Cui Zhongyi replied and began to engage in battle with the enemy general.
The two generals were initially startled by Cui Zhongyi's sudden appearance, but upon seeing that there was only one opponent, they relaxed. After all, they had two people on their side. Although they had just fought a battle, they still held the advantage in numbers.
Once they steadied themselves, the two generals swung their weapons and joined forces with Cui Zhongyi. With his iron staff, Cui Zhongyi skillfully parried their attacks. Despite their best efforts, they could not gain the upper hand against him. At this moment, Cui Zhongyi had mastered the Daruma Staff Technique to perfection; even though he was outnumbered, he remained calm.
Cui Zhongyi wielded his iron staff with precision, standing between the two opponents without being at a disadvantage; in fact, he seemed to have the upper hand. Meanwhile, Severe Winter looked at Cui Zhongyi with admiration. Black Eagle glanced at Severe Winter, who was nodding and smiling, and quietly suggested, "Your Majesty, should I give that kid a try?"
Severe Winter nodded. "Be careful; this kid's skills are quite unusual. However, his techniques are indeed impressive."
"Rest assured, Your Majesty; I know what I'm doing," Black Eagle replied before lightly tapping his Mount, the Eighth-Order Beast Tsunami Mad Master, and charging forward.
At this point, Cui Zhongyi had already put significant pressure on the two generals, who were struggling to catch their breath. They were considering retreating when Severe Winter's presence behind them made them hesitate to withdraw recklessly. Just then, they heard the most beautiful voice in the world: "Generals, take a break; I'll handle this person."
The two generals quickly took advantage of the opening to retreat from the battlefield. Upon seeing that it was Black Eagle, they felt relieved. As they returned to their unit, they expressed their gratitude to Black Eagle, who merely nodded slightly and allowed them to pass.
Black Eagle raised his weapon high; it resembled a spear but was different from a long spear—more like a sword with an extended hilt. He named his weapon the Stabbing Sword.
Black Eagle positioned his Stabbing Sword horizontally in front of him and pointed at Cui Zhongyi with both hands. "The traitor has reported your name; I am Black Eagle and do not deal with nameless individuals."
Hearing Black Eagle's name made Cui Zhongyi's palms sweat. He knew that this man was one of Severe Winter's Black and White Generals and a powerful Divine Knight. In contrast, he was merely a Peak Senior Knight and recognized the significant gap between them.
Cui Zhongyi steadied himself and said, "It's fine to tell you; I am the leader of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce's guards. My name is Cui Zhongyi."
"The Chinese Chamber of Commerce? A mere Merchant Guild dares to participate in rebellion? You must be seeking death. However, our Majesty has a compassionate heart; if you willingly surrender by jumping off your Mount, I can plead for your life before him. At that time, I can ensure your safety and even offer you a position as a general—what do you think?"
Cui Zhongyi coldly smiled, "It's impossible for me to jump off Mount. If you have the ability, then knock me down. Stop talking nonsense and face my staff." After saying that, he urged his Wind Wolf forward, and with a swift motion, he brought down his staff.
Black Eagle dodged to the side to avoid the iron staff, simultaneously thrusting his Stabbing Sword towards Cui Zhongyi's abdomen. Seeing that his strike had missed, Cui Zhongyi quickly pulled back his staff and deflected Black Eagle's Stabbing Sword.
The two engaged in fierce combat. They exchanged blows for over ten rounds, and Black Eagle secretly admired Cui Zhongyi's skill. He thought to himself: The Emperor's judgment is indeed sharp; this person is merely an Advanced Knight yet can withstand over ten rounds against me. This is no easy feat. If it were any other Advanced Knight, I would be confident in defeating them in a one-on-two situation within just a few rounds. Yet this individual has managed to hold his ground against me for so long, and it seems he is not even struggling.
Determined to gauge Cui Zhongyi's true abilities, Black Eagle increased the intensity of his attacks. However, he was surprised to find that merely speeding up his attacks did not faze Cui Zhongyi; he always managed to turn danger into safety. In the blink of an eye, they had fought for over ten rounds without a clear victor.
Black Eagle thought: Today, I have truly lost face. As a Divine Knight, I should be able to defeat an Advanced Knight easily, yet here I am after over thirty rounds still unable to gain the upper hand. I am truly embarrassing myself as a Divine-Level Expert.
With this thought in mind, Black Eagle secretly intensified his power output, which immediately highlighted the difference between a Divine Knight and an Advanced Knight. Cui Zhongyi suddenly felt a significant drain on his energy and began to struggle.
Nevertheless, he gritted his teeth and persevered as sweat trickled down his temples. After another ten rounds, Cui Zhongyi felt as if his arms were losing sensation and began to tremble. Seeing that Cui Zhongyi was on the verge of collapse, Black Eagle seized an opening and thrust upward with his Stabbing Sword.
Cui Zhongyi let out a cry as the iron staff flew from his hands. In that moment of distraction, Black Eagle's Stabbing Sword struck him on the back with the flat side of the blade.
Cui Zhongyi sat on his Wind Wolf and spat out a mouthful of blood. Just as Black Eagle planned to capture him alive, the Wind Wolf sensed its master's injury and became anxious. It kicked up a whirlwind beneath its feet and leaped away back towards its team.
Black Eagle had expected to capture Cui Zhongyi but was taken aback when he escaped right under his nose. Regretting not having simply knocked him off Mount first before capturing him, Black Eagle realized he could not pursue him now. He rested his Stabbing Sword on his Mount and pointed at Zhang Diba: "Is there anyone else out there who isn't afraid of death? I'll send them back home."
At this moment, chaos erupted on the New World side; everyone was well aware of Cui Zhongyi's strength. Seeing that even Cui Zhongyi had been defeated made everyone hesitant about risking their lives. Liu Guanfeng took out a pill from his pocket and placed it in Cui Zhongyi's mouth, instructing his men to take him down to rest. He then called over Little Black: "Big Black, quietly enter the city and meet up with Hou Chuan and the others. If I'm not mistaken, they should be attacking the palace right now. Go lend them your support."
"Xiaofeng, what about you? What if that guy named Severe Winter turns out to be formidable? What if I'm not by your side?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I still have my XP, right?"
"Alright, I'll go help. If you can't hold on here, remember to send me a message. I can come back immediately."
Liu Guanfeng nodded slightly, "I understand, Senior Brother."
Little Black quietly retreated to the back of the team. While everyone's attention was focused ahead, Little Black slowly ascended into the sky and entered the city without anyone noticing.
After arranging everything, Liu Guanfeng turned around and rode his XP back. When he arrived at the front lines of both armies, he caught up with Black Eagle who was berating the enemy. At this moment, only two people in the New World could suppress Black Eagle: one was himself and the other was Zhang Diba. Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng arrive, Zhang Diba sought his opinion with a glance, to which Liu Guanfeng merely nodded slightly.
Zhang Diba then waved his sword, which was the Water Pattern left to him by his father. He was also wearing the Water Cloud Armor that his father had left behind.
Standing on his mount, Xuan Turtle, Zhang Diba slowly walked forward. Pointing at Black Eagle, he said, "Black Eagle, how about we exchange a few moves?"
Black Eagle laughed heartily, "Is there no one left in your New World? Even the Leader has come out. Fine, I'll give you a ride."
"Then let's see if you have that capability; let your skills speak for themselves." After saying this, both Divine Knight generals activated their shields. It was clear from their strength that Black Eagle was slightly stronger than Zhang Diba since Black Eagle's shield had a deeper color and a longer range.
Seeing this situation, Black Eagle sneered coldly. Although he might not achieve victory in a short time, it seemed that he would ultimately be the winner. He thrust his Stabbing Sword forward while Zhang Diba deflected it with his sword.
After deflecting Black Eagle's sword, Zhang Diba quickly countered with his own blade as the two Divine Knights engaged in an intense battle.
