Liu Guanyu explained to Sun Liang, "Your Majesty, there's no need to worry about him. Xiaofeng sometimes practices for a week or even longer without eating or drinking, and he will be fine."
Sun Liang knew that Liu Guanfeng hadn't eaten because he would check in front of Liu Guanfeng's tent every day. Although he couldn't go inside, he could still gather information from the guards at the entrance. However, the news he received each time was the same: Liu Guanfeng had not come out and had not eaten.
Concerned about Liu Guanfeng's health, Sun Liang immediately asked about his meals after their meeting. Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly at Sun Liang and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although I haven't eaten these past few days, it hasn't affected my health. In fact, I feel great right now."
Seeing that Liu Guanfeng was not trying to ease his worries, Sun Liang felt relieved. "That's good to hear."
Suddenly, Liu Guanfeng remembered something and asked, "Elder brother, has anything happened in the past few days?"
Liu Guanlei realized something as well. "If you hadn't asked, I would have forgotten. There was a sudden thunderstorm in Starlight City; it seems a magical beast has advanced."
"That explains it, and it's a Metallic magical beast," Liu Guanfeng nodded.
"How do you know? I only got a vague answer after sending someone into the city to inquire; they said it seemed to be a Metallic magical beast. How did you find out so quickly?"
Liu Guanfeng smiled at Liu Guanlei and pointed his right index finger at the sky. Liu Guanlei was puzzled. "Huh? What do you mean?"
Liu Guanyu chimed in for Liu Guanfeng, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."
Liu Guanlei finally understood and pointed at Liu Guanfeng, saying, "Damn it, you're messing with me again."
Watching the three brothers playfully banter, Sun Liang smiled bitterly; as a member of the royal family, brotherly affection felt too distant for him. He felt both happy and envious of the bond between Liu Guanfeng and his brothers.
Before long, the guards brought breakfast for the four of them to the tent. Liu Guanfeng quickly finished two bowls of lean meat porridge. After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth with his hand and let out a satisfied burp while rubbing his belly. "Nothing feels better than being full."
After breakfast, Liu Guanfeng rested for another hour. Around eight o'clock, he said to Liu Guanlei, "Elder brother, it's about time; we should get going."
Liu Guanlei nodded, "Drummers, assemble! We are heading to Starlight City."
The sound of drums echoed like raindrops over the military camp, and all the soldiers hurriedly gathered together. By the time Sun Liang arrived at the Command Platform accompanied by the Liu Brothers, the soldiers were already lined up neatly.
Sun Liang cleared his throat and said, "Warriors, today is the day we settle our final score with Huaxing Kingdom. The main characters today are Liu Guanfeng and Liu Jianyan. We will accompany them to face the challenge from Huaxing Kingdom's first Divine Envoy, Jiang Xingshi. Who do you think will emerge victorious in this contest?"
"Liu Jianyan... Liu Jianyan... Liu Jianyan!" The soldiers below waved their weapons and shouted loudly for Liu Jianyan.
Sun Liang made a downward motion with his hands, and all the soldiers fell silent. "Now let's allow Liu Jianyan to say a few words."
Liu Guanfeng stepped forward and looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers below. "Brothers, today is our final battle with Hua Xing. Regardless of the outcome, the hardest work has been done by you. You have come here to endure hardships for our Starfall Kingdom. I want to thank you all." Liu Guanfeng bowed to the soldiers below.
"Rest assured, even though I am fighting alone, with your support behind me, I will not lose."
As Liu Guanfeng finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from below. At that moment, Liu Guanlei raised his Wolf Tooth Club high and shouted, "Brothers, we are going out!"
Then Liu Guanlei and Liu Guanyu mounted their Blazing Lions. Sun Liang took a seat on the two-person litter designed for him by Liu Guanfeng. Liu Guanfeng stepped down from the Command Platform and mounted Little Black, patting xp's head. "Buddy, I'll take you out to play next time."
Xp looked up and said, "Master, be careful."
"Yes, keep an eye on things here to prevent any surprise attacks."
Xp nodded, "Master, don't worry."
With that, Liu Guanfeng rode Little Black away from the military camp. The Starfall Kingdom's army held their position about a mile from Starlight City. Soon after, the gates of Starlight City slowly opened, and a dozen soldiers walked out. The four soldiers at the front carried a table, while several others behind them held brushes and ink; finally, four soldiers at the back each carried a Small Box.
Behind these soldiers, Wu Ta and Yelü Chuxing led a group of generals and soldiers to stand about two hundred meters from the city gate.
The soldiers in front set up two tables between the two armies, placing all the writing materials on them. Finally, the four soldiers carrying boxes placed them on the tables as well.
Once everything was arranged, all the soldiers stepped back a distance of several meters. At this moment, Yelü Chuxing, accompanied by Wu Ta, rode his mount to the center. From the Starfall Kingdom, Sun Liang rode Liu Guanyu's Blazing Lion, accompanied by Liu Guanlei, and also arrived at the tables.
After both sides took their positions, Wu Ta said, "These four boxes contain the Both Sides' Battle Agreement. Please have your monarch from Starfall Kingdom take a look." Wu Ta appeared very polite; in the past, he could have spoken in a condescending tone, but today was different. The former Small Nation had now become an equal power to his own country, so his tone had to change accordingly.
Sun Liang did not hesitate to open the Small Box on the table, which contained some matters agreed upon by both sides. For instance, it outlined what would happen after both sides suffered defeat and other related issues. However, it notably did not include Jiang Xingshi's condition of sparing Yelü Chuxing's life in his letter to Liu Guanfeng. Sun Liang chose not to point this out; he understood that this condition was privately agreed upon between Jiang Xingshi and Liu Guanfeng.
After reviewing the relevant matters, Sun Liang signed his name on both documents. The other two boxes contained the Death Agreements for Liu Guanfeng and Jiang Xingshi.
After signing the relevant documents, Liu Guanfeng rode Little Black to the front of the table. He glanced at the Death Agreement but did not sign it; instead, he bit his right index finger and pressed it onto the Death Agreement.
Immediately, two blood-red fingerprints appeared on both Death Agreements. After Liu Guanfeng completed his mark, in Hua Xing's team, the two intersecting banners parted to either side. Following that was a dragon's roar as Jiang Xingshi rode his mount, the Golden Flower Dragon, out from under the banners. As the Golden Flower Dragon passed by, Hua Xing Kingdom's mounts hurriedly moved aside.
The situation was worse for the soldiers; half of their mounts collapsed onto the ground, causing many soldiers to fall off. The cavalry of Hua Xing Kingdom fell into chaos. When the Golden Flower Dragon reached the table area, even some magical beasts from Starfall Kingdom reacted and retreated. However, their situation was somewhat better than that of Hua Xing Kingdom; firstly, they were farther away and thus felt less pressure from the Golden Flower Dragon. Additionally, many of Starfall Kingdom's soldiers had mounts carefully selected from fishing expeditions—some of their mounts were even superior to those of many generals.
At the table area, things were not as dire. Wu Ta also rode an Earth Dragon; although it was only Ninth Tier, it had some resistance to its own Earth Dragon clan's pressure. Both Liu Guanlei and Sun Liang rode Ninth Tier Blazing Lions; their father was a Tenth Rank divine beast, so they could withstand this kind of pressure. Liu Guanfeng's Little Black was even more stable than a mountain; he felt no pressure at all because the pressure from the Golden Flower Dragon was simply not on par with that of the Four Sacred Beasts.
Back when they were at Four Sacred Mountains, in order to train Little Black, the Four Sacred Beasts used every extreme method possible. Their training regarding pressure was particularly brutal; they took turns exerting pressure on Little Black for an entire month so that he could live under their influence. Thus, Little Black developed a strong resistance to such pressure.
Moreover, Little Black was already a Divine Knight-level magical beast; therefore, any equivalent pressure had much less effect on him. Although his opponent was an Earth Dragon, Little Black was certainly not an ordinary creature—his bloodline could rival that of a Dragon King and might even be superior.
Now that the Four Sacred Beasts were no longer present in Knightly Continent 6, if one were to discuss bloodlines seriously, perhaps only Guardian Xuanyuan Guang's mount Bixi could compete with him.
The Golden Flower Dragon exerted all its strength to intimidate Little Black; however, Little Black seemed completely unaffected by it. This left the Golden Flower Dragon feeling quite disheartened; it did not expect its dragon lineage pressure to be ignored by its opponent. From this point onward, Golden Flower Dragon became more cautious around Little Black. During its previous battle with Liu Guanfeng, Golden Flower Dragon recognized Little Black's strength but believed that if it truly broke through to Divine Knight level, it would surpass him since it had suppressed its power for decades. However, Golden Flower Dragon was surprised that its opponent had grown this strong.
Jiang Xingshi approached the table without even looking at the Death Agreement and directly followed Liu Guanfeng's example by biting his finger and pressing it down. Thus, four fingerprints were left on both Death Agreements from these two individuals.
Seeing both of them press their handprints on the Death Agreement, Sun Liang and Yelu Chuxing respectively placed the two documents back into their boxes. Holding their respective boxes, they returned to their camps under the escort of Wu Ta and Liu Guanlei.
After returning, Sun Liang handed the documents to Copper Bull and Iron Bull. After they took the box, they stood directly behind Sun Liang, holding it in their hands.
Yelu Chuxing also handed the box to his two subordinates. In the middle of the venue, the soldiers removed the tables and chairs along with the writing materials. Liu Guanfeng stepped forward two paces and extended his right hand. This gesture was not customary in the Knight's Continent. Jiang Xingshi did not understand what the other party meant, but at this point, he also stepped forward two paces and extended his right hand.
Liu Guanfeng grasped Jiang Xingshi's hand and moved it up and down before speaking: "This is called a handshake. You are the only person I have used this gesture with in the entire Knight's Continent. I think if there were no war, we might have become friends."
Jiang Xingshi smiled slightly: "We cannot blame the war; if we must blame something, let it be fate."
"Then let us engage in a duel of fate."
"Please."
After exchanging pleasantries, both mounted their Mounts and raced towards their respective camps. Upon reaching their camps, Liu Guanfeng took the Fang Tian Hua Ji from Bao Rui, while Jiang Xingshi received his Dragon Head Staff from a general.
Both simultaneously turned their Mounts around, exchanged glances, and then urged their Mounts to charge forward. Little Black galloped fiercely, while across from him, Golden Flower Dragon spread its wings and leaped after running a few steps, gliding briefly with its wings. When it landed, it faced Little Black directly. Seeing the distance was just right, Liu Guanfeng swung his arms and thrust Fang Tian Hua Ji towards Jiang Xingshi's head.
Jiang Xingshi quickly lifted his Dragon Head Staff with both hands to block. Liu Guanfeng swiftly pulled back his Fang Tian Hua Ji and then thrust it towards Jiang Xingshi's chest. Jiang Xingshi pressed down on his Dragon Head Staff again to parry Liu Guanfeng's spear.
Liu Guanfeng quickly yanked back Fang Tian Ji and immediately thrust Fang Tian Hua Ji forward again. This thrust was low, aimed directly at Jiang Xingshi's chest. Seeing the incoming Fang Tian Hua Ji, Jiang Xingshi quickly raised his Dragon Head Staff again while leaning back to narrowly evade Liu Guanfeng's attack.
The clash between the strongest warriors of Huaxing Kingdom and Starfall Kingdom officially began.
