Two individuals pulled their Mounts back and simultaneously charged forward. Jiang Xingshi, riding on the Golden Flower Dragon, raised his Dragon Head Staff high and shouted, "Kid, come taste the Old Man's Dragon Head Staff."
As soon as Jiang Xingshi finished speaking, a golden light erupted from the Golden Flower Dragon, enveloping him. Seeing this, Liu Guanfeng warned Little Black, "Be careful, Senior Brother. They have combined their powers."
Little Black did not respond but instead released Silver Light from his body, wrapping Liu Guanfeng in it as well. After witnessing Liu Guanfeng and Little Black merge their powers, Jiang Xingshi thought to himself, "Let's see whose Mount is stronger, yours or my old partner's."
Dragons possess immunity to both magical and physical attacks, and they are undoubtedly among the strongest beings in terms of power. This is why Jiang Xingshi felt confident in competing with Liu Guanfeng.
As the two Mounts approached each other, they slowed down simultaneously. Jiang Xingshi raised his Dragon Head Staff high and brought it down with force. Liu Guanfeng tightened his grip on the Fang Tian Hua Ji and pulled it upward, producing a deafening sound where their weapons collided.
Unlike Liu Guanfeng, who retracted his weapon after the clash, Jiang Xingshi pressed down even harder after their weapons met.
If it were any other magical beast, no matter how strong Liu Guanfeng was, he would have been defeated. However, Little Black was not an ordinary magical beast; its strength was comparable to that of a dragon. Coupled with Liu Guanfeng's already formidable power, Jiang Xingshi found himself at a disadvantage in this round.
Back and forth they went into a fierce melee phase. The battlefield was filled with clashing weapons as Liu Guanfeng exerted all his strength to execute his Thirty-Six Styles of Celestial Pole Halberd Technique flawlessly, while Jiang Xingshi utilized his own creation, the Golden Dragon Eighteen Turns.
Once they engaged in close combat, it became clear which martial arts technique was superior. Jiang Xingshi's Golden Dragon Eighteen Turns was no match for Liu Guanfeng's Heavenly Gang Spear Technique in terms of both form and angle. Consequently, Jiang Xingshi quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
At this moment, Jiang Xingshi realized that although he had fought Liu Guanfeng twice before, the latter had always held back his true strength. If he had known during their first encounter that Liu Guanfeng possessed such high martial prowess, he would have immediately sought a truce with Yelv Chuxing. It was only because Liu Guanfeng had never used his full power that Jiang Xingshi had underestimated him.
To be safe, Jiang Xingshi activated his protective shield. Thanks to this shield, many of Liu Guanfeng's attacks were blocked.
The two fought for over sixty exchanges without determining a victor. Throughout this time, Liu Guanfeng also refrained from activating his protective shield because he understood that he could not match Jiang Xingshi in terms of power. Therefore, he needed to conserve his Fighting Qi as much as possible. He might resort to using magic attacks if absolutely necessary; doing so would deplete his Fighting Qi even faster. Unless it was unavoidable, Liu Guanfeng would not activate his Fighting Qi shield.
Jiang Xingshi found himself in a difficult situation; while the shield provided temporary safety, its activation consumed a significant amount of Fighting Qi. Especially when Liu Guanfeng's Fang Tian Hua Ji struck the shield, he could clearly feel the need to increase his output of Fighting Qi.
Jiang Xingshi did not understand why such a phenomenon rarely occurred when he was fighting while using his protective shield. Even when the opponent infused Fighting Qi into their weapon and struck his shield, there was not much reaction. Why was Liu Guanfeng's weapon so powerful?
Although Jiang Xingshi knew that the Fang Tian Hua Ji in Liu Guanfeng's hands was a treasure, he did not expect that this weapon was forged from dozens of rare metals. Additionally, there were large amounts of Raw Stone within the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which contained natural Chaotic Qi. This type of Fighting Qi was a nemesis to the Five Elements Protective Shield, meaning that although Jiang Xingshi's Fighting Qi was relatively thick, if Liu Guanfeng had infused his own Chaotic Qi into the Fang Tian Hua Ji, Jiang Xingshi would have consumed his Fighting Qi even faster.
Thus, the battle between the two continued from morning until noon, lasting a full four hours, during which neither of them could gain the upper hand.
As time passed to the hottest part of the day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, it was the phase when the Fire Department element was most active, while its opposing element, Metal Element, appeared quite weak.
At exactly two o'clock, Jiang Xingshi clearly felt that the power transmitted from the Golden Flower Dragon had diminished significantly. He understood that this period was the hardest for him; if he could not hold on during this time, he might truly be defeated.
In contrast to Jiang Xingshi, Liu Guanfeng felt no discomfort at all. The practice of both Chaos Heaven and Earth and Chaos Devouring had enabled Liu Guanfeng to freely absorb Chaotic Qi under any circumstances.
Feeling his Fighting Qi depleting significantly without replenishment, Jiang Xingshi immediately withdrew his protective shield. At the same time, he had exhausted a lot of energy. This change was very apparent to Liu Guanfeng, who took advantage of their positional exchange to escape from the battle circle.
At this moment, Jiang Xingshi, holding the Dragon Head Staff, was panting heavily; this period had been extremely painful for him.
After escaping outside the circle, Liu Guanfeng grabbed Little Black, slung the Fang Tian Hua Ji behind him, and said, “Jiang Xingshi, I know you are Metallic. Right now is your weakest moment of the day. If I win against you now, it would not be honorable for me, especially in a life-and-death battle between our two nations. To avoid any gossip, let’s take a break for a while and resume our duel in an hour?”
Sitting atop the Golden Flower Dragon, Jiang Xingshi bowed slightly to Liu Guanfeng: “Thank you for your generosity, Old Man. Then I will not be polite; we will fight again in an hour and a half.”
After speaking, both returned to their respective camps. As soon as Liu Guanfeng arrived back at his camp, he was surrounded by Sun Liang, Liu Guanlei, and Liu Guanyu. Although they did not quite understand why Liu Guanfeng decided to let his opponent rest, they felt it was not their place to question his decision.
The three approached and unanimously gave a thumbs-up to express their admiration for Liu Guanfeng. They quickly brought over a chair for him and provided shade.
Finally unable to hold back, Liu Guanlei asked, “Xiaofeng, now is the best time for you to attack; why did you let him rest?”
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly and said, "Big Brother, if I take this opportunity to defeat Jiang Xingshi, it won't be good for either me or the Starfall Kingdom in terms of public opinion regarding Huaxing Kingdom. There will definitely be some reactionary events within Huaxing Kingdom, making things even harder for us to handle. By allowing Jiang Xingshi to rest now, we show the generosity of the Starfall Kingdom. When we fight again later and he is defeated by me, no one will speak ill of us. At that point, the Starfall Kingdom will firmly establish its presence in Huaxing Kingdom, and many generals from Huaxing Kingdom will be filled with gratitude and sincerely pledge their loyalty."
After his explanation, Liu Guanlei finally understood and nodded, saying, "You really think ahead, Xiaofeng. But if he recovers from his rest, it will be harder to deal with him, especially since his mount is a Tenth Rank dragon beast."
"Don't worry, Big Brother. After such a long battle, Jiang Xingshi has revealed almost all of his trump cards, but he still doesn't know mine."
"Oh? So you are confident about defeating that old fellow?"
"The winner will be decided within an hour; just watch."
Sun Liang chimed in from the side, "Liu Jianyan, you truly are cunning. Even at this point, you still have hidden cards. Impressive."
On the opposite side in the Huaxing Kingdom camp, after seeing Jiang Xingguo return and understanding the situation from Wu Ta and Yelü Chuxing, they developed a genuine admiration for Liu Guanfeng and the character and generosity of the entire Starfall Kingdom. Especially towards Liu Guanfeng; although he was currently an enemy, they had no complaints about him.
An hour and a half later, as the weather gradually turned cooler, Liu Guanfeng took back Fang Tian Hua Ji and mounted Little Black before arriving at the front lines of both armies. Jiang Xingshi also came to face Liu Guanfeng.
Standing opposite each other, Jiang Xingshi clasped his fists and said to Liu Guanfeng, "Young friend, it is my honor to fight you today. Not only do you possess great skill but also a heart as vast as the sea. I admire such character in you; therefore, even if I am defeated by you today or die at your hands, I will have no regrets. Come on, let me fight you for another hundred rounds."
After speaking, the Golden Flower Dragon galloped towards Liu Guanfeng. After a brief rest, Liu Guanfeng had mostly recovered. Seeing Jiang Xingshi charging at him, Liu Guanfeng shouted loudly, "I won't let you have any regrets."
Liu Guanfeng infused Fighting Qi into Fang Tian Hua Ji. The originally white spear suddenly glowed with a milky white Fighting Qi that wrapped around the spear's body.
As they closed in on each other again, Jiang Xingshi activated his metallic shield once more. However, this time he was greatly surprised; as they clashed again, Liu Guanfeng's speed with Fang Tian Hua Ji increased significantly. He caught Jiang Xingshi off guard. Although protected by the shield, it felt powerless against Liu Guanfeng's Chaotic Qi. After just over ten exchanges in a brief period of time, multiple wounds had already appeared on Jiang Xingshi's body.
As time approached the hour Liu Guanfeng had mentioned, Jiang Xingshi's injuries continued to accumulate and he clearly began to feel overwhelmed. He shook his head inwardly: "This must be his true strength."
At that moment, Liu Guanfeng wielded a Spear Flower and shouted loudly, "Heavenly Gang Spear Technique, Thirty-Sixth Form—Stars Returning to Their Positions."
After speaking, Liu Guanfeng thrust his Fang Tian Hua Ji forward, and in the air, the Fang Tian Hua Ji transformed into thirty-six spearheads. Even more astonishing for Jiang Xingshi was that each spearhead had a fireball the size of a fist on top, with needle-like metallic protrusions on the fireballs.
Liu Guanfeng combined the Magma Ball Technique and Metal Elemental Magic Needle Technique, integrating both spells into his Heavenly Gang Spear Technique. This was also Liu Guanfeng's original creation, and he was the only one in the entire Knight Continent capable of executing it. Today, to show respect for Jiang Xingshi, Liu Guanfeng displayed the highest achievement he had cultivated over five days in the military camp.
This move could be described as nearly impossible to defend against, as it mixed physical and magical attacks. The thirty-six spearheads charged at Jiang Xingshi one after another. Jiang Xingshi gritted his teeth and channeled most of his power into his shield; however, under the assault of several Magma Needle Balls, it quickly shattered.
Jiang Xingshi continued to fend off the Magma Needle Balls and the Fang Tian Hua Ji behind them with his Dragon Head Staff. Nevertheless, there were moments when he slipped up. Just as he deflected six Magma Balls, he inadvertently got hit by one on his right arm. The impact caused him to stagger, and several more Magma Balls struck him in succession, sending him flying off his Golden Flower Dragon. He landed several meters away.
When Jiang Xingshi hit the ground, his entire body was still burning, but he no longer had the strength to extinguish the flames. Seeing Jiang Xingshi's condition, the Golden Flower Dragon realized he was on the brink of death. Instead of turning back to save him, it charged toward Liu Guanfeng.
After a few strides, the Golden Flower Dragon began gliding using its wings. At that moment, its body flashed with golden light, and its dragon head turned golden.
Metalization? Liu Guanfeng understood that this Golden Flower Dragon intended to perish together with him.
It was clear about its intentions; however, Little Black would not allow it. Little Black opened its mouth and unleashed a massive Lightning Net that enveloped the Golden Flower Dragon.
Little Black only intended to trap the Golden Flower Dragon and did not seek its life; therefore, the Thunder Energy it used was not very strong but was enough to block the Golden Flower Dragon's attack.
The Golden Flower Dragon struggled within Little Black's electric net, suffering injuries from the lightning strikes. At that moment, a thunderous voice echoed from the sky: "Which bold fool dares to harm my dragon kin?"
