Liu Guanfeng appeared extremely calm. Ever since he purchased that plaque, he could sense several presences targeting him. Although these presences were not very strong, Liu Guanfeng knew that these individuals were there to monitor him.
The next morning, as soon as Liu Guanfeng got out of bed, he realized that Shangguan Junhong and Shangguan Jinglei had already left. Liu Guanfeng felt quite touched by his younger brother; at least he did not possess the royal indifference and treated him like a real older brother, perhaps even more affectionately than a biological brother would.
It took a day to travel from Bixi City to Dragon Glory City. If one were to run the entire way on Mounts, it would still take half a day. Liu Guanfeng did not need to wait for Shangguan Junhong to return because he was very confident in himself.
After getting up, Liu Guanfeng performed a simple wash and then had breakfast. Around nine in the morning, he decided to leave Bixi City and return home.
Accompanied by Little Black and XP, along with Hank Niu, Liu Guanfeng slowly walked out of Bixi City. Not long after leaving, Liu Guanfeng sensed two killing intents locking onto him. However, he did not care; he merely smiled lightly and then slowly mounted XP.
Benefiting from Liu Guanfeng's presence, Hank Niu mounted Little Black. The two Earth Dragons shrank in size and also sat on Little Black's back.
Liu Guanfeng rode XP while Hank Niu rode Little Black, moving forward leisurely on the official road like a stroll. The two killing intents remained fixed on Liu Guanfeng without leaving for a moment. When Liu Guanfeng and Hank Niu reached a bend in the road, they immediately issued the command to take off.
Thus, Little Black and XP soared into the sky. Just as they reached a height of about one hundred meters, more than ten people appeared at the spot where Liu Guanfeng and Hank Niu had just stood. Among them were the two experts who had been monitoring Liu Guanfeng.
Hiding in the air, Liu Guanfeng could faintly hear some conversations below. One person asked in confusion, "How could this happen? Weren't they just around this corner? How did they disappear all of a sudden? Did he notice us?"
Another replied, "It's very likely that we were spotted. But it doesn't matter. He can't escape anyway; after all, he has to return home eventually. We can just wait for him up ahead."
"That's all we can do now. But you all keep your eyes wide open; make sure he doesn't get away. If we go back without completing our task, we won't be able to explain ourselves to our superiors. If we fail this time, we might even lose our lives. Do you understand?"
"We understand."
"Leave two groups to search the area, and the rest come with us to block him ahead." After speaking, the two leading men left behind Six People and took the remaining individuals away.
Liu Guanfeng watched as most of the people had already left, while the remaining Six People immediately began searching the surroundings. Liu Guanfeng shook his head, "I originally wanted to give you a way out, but unfortunately, there's no choice since you have gone too far. Hank Niu."
At this moment, Hank Niu was sitting on Little Black's back, excitedly flailing his arms and legs; it was his first time flying. If Liu Guanfeng hadn't stopped him, Hank Niu's movements would likely have been noticed by those below. "Master, what's going on?"
"You go down and take care of those Six People."
Hank Niu looked down and replied, "Alright, leave it to me."
Little Black slowly descended onto a nearby hill. After jumping off Little Black's back, Hank Niu mounted the Bladehorn Earth Dragon and swung his massive Wolf Tooth Club as he charged down the slope alongside the Trihorn Earth Dragon.
Meanwhile, the Six People below were still searching when they felt the entire mountain seemed to be moving. When they looked up, Hank Niu was already approaching the first person. That individual was not weak either; he was an Advanced Knight. However, in a moment of panic upon encountering such a fierce opponent, there was only one outcome.
Hank Niu's Wolf Tooth Club struck the unprepared man, sending him flying over twenty meters. His chest was left a bloody mess, and he lost his life instantly. The remaining Five People rushed to confront Hank Niu in their panic, but these individuals usually relied too much on their martial skills and forgot about raw power. As the saying goes, one strong strike can defeat ten skilled fighters. When these Five People reached Hank Niu, each of them found their weapons knocked away in their first encounter with him. Even those with higher strength could not withstand Hank Niu's Wolf Tooth Club. In less than five minutes, all six panicked Advanced Knights were defeated under Hank Niu's club. Afterward, he mounted Little Black again.
Liu Guanfeng watched Hank Niu's performance from above and felt quite satisfied. He said to Hank Niu, "Your skills have improved a bit. Let's continue forward and see what else is waiting for us."
After speaking, the two continued on their way. Soon Liu Guanfeng caught up with a group of over ten people who were still fleeing ahead. To surprise them, Liu Guanfeng did not stop and continued flying forward until they had covered several miles before letting xp and Little Black descend. According to Liu Guanfeng's estimation, by the time those people arrived here, it should already be noon.
So Liu Guanfeng and Hank Niu found a shady spot to rest. They took out some rations and had a simple meal before resting nearby.
Around noon, a small group of four people appeared on the distant official road. These were the individuals who had been pursuing Liu Guanfeng; their numbers had dwindled from over ten to four because every time they reached a location, they would leave two people behind to supervise and search. Thus, by the time they arrived at Liu Guanfeng's resting place, only four remained. However, both key figures in this pursuit were present; although they did not know who Liu Guanfeng was or how strong he was, for safety reasons they stayed together to ensure they could complete their mission more confidently.
When the four reached about thirty meters away from Liu Guanfeng's location, they all came to a halt:
"I said, General, did those two run away? Otherwise, why haven't we heard anything after searching for so long?"
"I don't know either. Let's keep looking. We can't leave until we find them; that's a direct order from above."
"General, what exactly are we looking for this time?"
"At the auction a few days ago, the Chief Steward wanted to buy an item but was outbid by someone with a Chinese Chamber of Commerce gold card. You know about the issues between the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Blacksmith Guild, so to avoid offending the Blacksmith Guild, the Chief Steward instructed us to take action outside the city and retrieve that small plaque."
"Is that small plaque really that important?"
"Of course! If it weren't important, would the Chief Steward send us personally? And let me tell you, brother, there's a rumor that this item is something His Majesty wants. If we manage to bring it back, then you and I..."
The other person's eyes lit up: "Then this time I'll be relying on you, General."
"What are we being polite for? We'll share the fortune together."
"Then let's hurry and find it. I wonder what those two kids are made of. How could they run so fast?"
Just as the two were preparing to continue their search, a voice came from ahead: "It's not that I ran fast; it's that you two are too slow. I took a nap and you still caught up. How do you handle things?" The speaker was Liu Guanfeng, who appeared before them holding Fang Tian Hua Ji in his right hand and riding Little Black, with XP accompanying him.
Both men were stunned; after searching for so long and feeling hungry, the person they were looking for had finally arrived.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng approach confidently made the two men think for a moment before the leader asked, "Do you know we're looking for you?"
"I knew you were looking for me as soon as I left the city."
"Then do you still dare to come out by yourself? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"How could I not be afraid of death? But since both of you are not afraid, what do I have to fear?"
"You're quite arrogant. It seems that even the heavens are helping me today. However, I advise you, as long as you hand over the token you obtained at the auction, I will spare your life."
"Thank you for your honesty. Since you said that, I will tell you, I won't kill you today," Liu Guanfeng said with a smile.
At this moment, the two opponents were already very angry. As a Divine Knight, even in Bixi City, they were respected figures. However, they never expected to be spoken to like this by a young man. The man looked at his companion and said, "Brother, this person is up to you now. Is that alright?"
"Of course it's fine. Dealing with a little kid is easy. Just watch me."
After saying that, the man swung his Greatsword and charged at Liu Guanfeng. However, just as he was about to advance, two objects flew out from the nearby forest, targeting the rushing man. Instinctively, he used his Greatsword to slash at the incoming objects.
When the objects landed, they realized that it wasn't stones or beasts but rather two subordinates who had been sent into the forest to look for Liu Guanfeng's whereabouts.
Seeing his subordinates, the man quickly shouted into the forest, "Who is it?"
In response came a thunderous sound. The man's vision darkened as a massive figure appeared before him. It was Hank Niu, who jumped out with his Wolf Tooth Club raised high and swung down with a powerful blow.
Although it was a sudden attack, as a Divine Knight expert, the man immediately summoned all his strength to take the hit.
When their weapons collided, a deafening sound erupted. Hank Niu was knocked back seven or eight steps by the tremendous force, while the Divine-Level Expert also fared poorly; he staggered back over ten steps before falling to the ground. When he dismounted, he realized that his mount had already died from severe injuries.
Hank Niu's ambush was very successful. Just as he prepared to charge again, Liu Guanfeng stopped him: "Hank Niu, come back. You're not his match."
Liu Guanfeng understood very well that the reason the opponent suffered such a huge loss was entirely due to their lack of defense against Hank Niu. Even Liu Guanfeng himself knew that if Hank Niu were to ambush him like he did with the man earlier, he would definitely gain no advantage, simply because Hank Niu's strength was truly astonishing.
After Liu Guanfeng gave his command, Hank Niu could only ride back to Liu Guanfeng's side on the Bladehorn Earth Dragon. Meanwhile, the man on the ground was unwilling to accept this; his Mount, which he had been with for many years, had just been killed by a single blow from the opponent. He felt immense regret and simultaneously developed a mindset of wanting to eliminate Hank Niu first, regardless of whether Liu Guanfeng was nearby swinging his Greatsword. He charged forward.
Liu Guanfeng glanced at the man opposite him and said, "xp, that Little Guy is up to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, xp immediately rushed out to confront the man wielding the knife. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng turned his attention to the last remaining man: "I say, City Defense General, your subordinates are all gone now; it’s your turn to face me."
"You recognized me long ago?"
"Of course I remember your gaze. Take off your mask."
The remaining leader slowly removed the mask from his face, and indeed, just as Liu Guanfeng had guessed, it was the City Defense General from Bixi City who had come to persuade Liu Guanfeng to give up that day.
It was no wonder; he was the only one in Bixi City who had truly seen Liu Guanfeng in person, making it perfectly fitting for him to come out himself.
At this moment, the City Defense General held a pair of giant cleavers. Although they were not as formidable as the Battle Axe wielded by the Earth Dragon Knight Order, they were still rare heavy weapons. The City Defense General rode an Icefield Snow Bear, a magical beast native to the Northern Bear Empire, and he was mounted on an Eighth Rank snow bear.
The City Defense General positioned his cleavers in front of his chest and declared, "Come and fight me, kid." With that, he swung both blades and charged at Liu Guanfeng.
