The battle was still not over. The remaining Fire Wolf Knights, seeing Jia Yun flee, lost their morale and began to prepare to escape as well. Bao Rui and the others seized this opportunity to eliminate the remaining Fire Wolf Knights.
Meanwhile, the Fourth Prince, watching the situation unfold, turned to flee with two Intermediate Knights. However, as they turned around, they found XP standing right in front of them after having just dealt with two knights. In that moment of surprise for the Fourth Prince, the other young men completed their tasks and began to converge towards him.
At this time, Ren Xingyu, protected by the two Intermediate Knights, looked nervously at the group of young men in front of him. "What do you want? I am a prince of Huaxing Kingdom. If anything happens to me, my father and elder brother will not let you go."
"Your father and elder brother have no intention of letting us go either," said Liu Guanfeng, who rode Little Black and slowly approached Ren Xingyu.
"Who are you? What do you want?" The Fourth Prince looked at Liu Guanfeng in panic, completely unaware of what Jia Yun had previously said to Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng looked at Ren Xingyu with a cold smile. "Who am I? It's fine to tell you. I am Liu Guanfeng, the Third Son of Liu Yong'an, General of Rain City in Starfall Kingdom. Your Highness, let me correct a misunderstanding: it is not what I want to do; we simply wish to leave Huaxing Kingdom safely. You are the one who brought people to chase us down and then ask what we want."
Ren Xingyu stared blankly at Liu Guanfeng. He could sense that Liu Guanfeng's tone seemed directed at his father and elder brother. He also knew from the beginning that Jia Yun was acquainted with Liu Guanfeng and that there seemed to be some enmity between them. However, Ren Xingyu was completely unaware of Liu Guanfeng's family matters, which indicated that he had completely given up on inheriting the throne in Huaxing Kingdom. This might also explain why he had been able to live so comfortably.
Liu Guanfeng looked at Ren Xingyu and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, but let me tell you something. That Advanced Knight named Jia Yun was one of those who captured my parents and brother and killed my family’s servants. Therefore, your Huaxing Kingdom cannot be separated from our Liu Family's extermination."
Upon hearing this, Ren Xingyu finally understood why Liu Guanfeng's words were aimed at his father and elder brother; that Jia Yun was indeed his elder brother's subordinate and also an enemy responsible for the destruction of Liu Guanfeng's family. At this moment, cold sweat broke out on Ren Xingyu's forehead as he trembled while looking at Liu Guanfeng. "Please spare my life! I don't care about anything in Huaxing Kingdom; I don’t want to be a prince anymore. I just want to live peacefully. I know nothing about your family's affairs."
At this point, Ren Xingyu had completely lost the dignity of a prince and appeared more like a pitiful creature.
"I may spare you, but who will spare me? There are over a hundred members in our Liu Family; have we offended your Huaxing Kingdom? It is impossible for me to let you go now; consider it collecting some interest first."
After saying this, Liu Guanfeng glanced at Bao Rui and the other four in front of him and nodded slightly. "Those two are yours." Following this, Bao Rui automatically teamed up with Iron Bull to charge at one of the Intermediate Knights while Copper Bull joined Dai to confront another Intermediate Knight.
Liu Guanfeng sat on Mount calmly observing the duel among the six people. To protect the Fourth Prince’s safety, the two Intermediate Knights could only brace themselves and charge forward. If Bao Rui and his companions faced one Intermediate Knight alone, they might have been able to maneuver around him; however, it was now two against one. Each combination was a heavy versus agile matchup, with Copper Bull and Iron Bull having greater strength than the two Intermediate Knights. Meanwhile, Bao Rui and Dai used their agility effectively; every strike they made sent blood mist flying into the air.
Six People had already shown signs of defeat after just a few exchanges. After three more rounds, the two Intermediate Knights simultaneously let out pained cries of "Ah!" One of the Intermediate Knights was struck through by Bao Rui, while the other was stabbed in the throat by Dai Yi.
With a thud, the two bodies fell beneath their Mount. Just as the two Fire Wolves were preparing to fight to the death, Little Black suddenly spoke up, "You two little brats, stop right there."
Upon hearing the voice, the two Fire Wolves immediately halted and turned to look at Little Black. Since the two Fire Wolves had signed an Equal Contract with the Intermediate Knights, the death of their riders did not significantly affect them. If they had signed a slave contract, however, their strength would have dropped at least one tier upon their master's death.
The two Fifth Tier Fire Wolves wanted to hear what Little Black had to say; after all, they had no confidence in escaping from a divine beast.
"You two gather the remaining Fire Wolves together and find a way to get to the Four Sacred Islands. There is a Fire Wolf Tribe in Dongshan. Go tell the Wolf King that I sent you. He will arrange everything for you. Next time you seek a knight, make sure to find someone decent and bring your subordinates along," Little Black instructed. The two Fifth Tier Fire Wolves bowed to Little Black and then turned to gather the ownerless Fire Wolves.
However, some of the remaining Fire Wolves lingered around their still-living master, listening to his continuous cries.
Liu Guanfeng frowned and said to his companion xp, "Go help them find peace." xp nodded and rushed over to those knights who were still alive. Initially, those Fire Wolves wanted to protect their master, but once xp unleashed his aura, all the Fire Wolves stood frozen in place. Moreover, with a divine beast supervising nearby, another round of anguished screams echoed. In just a blink of an eye, the world grew much quieter.
All the knights pursuing Liu Guanfeng and his companions were dead; the only survivor was Ren Xingyu, the Fourth Prince of the Huaxing Kingdom, who was completely stunned.
Looking at the dazed Ren Xingyu, Liu Guanfeng asked, "Do you still want my wife to visit your home?"
Only then did Ren Xingyu come back to his senses and fell off his Fire Wolf: "Please spare me, sir."
Before Liu Guanfeng could respond, Little Black spoke again, this time addressing the Fifth Tier Fire Wolf under Ren Xingyu: "Did you sign an Equal Contract with him?"
The Fire Wolf obediently nodded. Then Little Black continued, "Then you should dissolve your contract with him." Hearing this, Liu Guanfeng was taken aback:
"Senior brother, can magical beasts even dissolve contracts?"
"As long as both parties agree, an Equal Contract can be dissolved. If one party's strength far exceeds that of the other, it can also be forcibly dissolved."
"Little Black" hadn't finished speaking when "Fourth Prince" suddenly shouted, holding his head in distress. "Liu Guanfeng" was startled and asked, "Senior Brother, what happened?"
"Fire Wolf has forcibly activated the contract," "Little Black" said emotionlessly.
At that moment, three "Fifth Tier" and thirty-two "Fourth Rank Fire Wolves" had all become wild beasts without a master. Fortunately, all the knights' "Fire Wolves" were under an "Equal Contract." The three "Fifth Tier Fire Wolves" nodded at "Little Black," then turned and fled with the thirty-two "Fourth Rank Fire Wolves."
"Fourth Prince" continued to hold his head: "Senior Brother, I don't want to kill him. Can you think of a way to make him stupid?" "Liu Guanfeng" looked at "Little Black."
"This is simple; just watch," said "Little Black." He opened his mouth and shot out a small lightning bolt that struck "Ren Xingyu" on the forehead. "Ren Xingyu" fainted without even a scream.
"Little Black" glanced at "Liu Guanfeng": "All done."
"Is that it? You didn't kill him, right?" "Liu Guanfeng" asked.
"He'll wake up in three hours, and when he does, he'll be an idiot who won't remember anything."
"Still, Senior Brother's methods are impressive."
"Hehe, you're too polite, Junior Brother."
Under "Liu Guanfeng's" lead, all the youths mounted their steeds again. "Liu Guanfeng" pulled "Li Xiaohan" into his arms, resting her head on his shoulder: "How was it? Were you scared just now?"
"Li Xiaohan" shook her head: "I won't be afraid of anything with you around."
"Liu Guanfeng" was very pleased with her response: "I'm glad you weren't scared. When we reach the Four Sacred Mountains, I'll have my master teach you so you can learn martial arts too."
"I don't want to learn; I want you to protect me for life," "Li Xiaohan" said softly.
"Even if you learn, I will protect you for a lifetime, but if you don't learn martial arts, what will you do when I'm not around? You need to be able to protect yourself."
"I'll do everything you say," Li Xiaohan nodded.
After hearing this, Liu Guanfeng laughed heartily, "Alright, let's go now. Our target is Guardian Nation."
A group of youths, led by Liu Guanfeng, headed straight for Guardian Nation. Meanwhile, Ren Xingyu was still lying on the ground, but chaos had erupted within Star Source City. Jia Yun and the Fourth Prince had been out seeking revenge for nearly a day without any news. The Fire Wolf Knight had found the Crown Prince and recounted the events to him. Crown Prince Ren Xingyun sensed that something was amiss and dispatched three hundred soldiers to search for his brother.
It wasn't until midnight that a group of soldiers discovered the deranged Fourth Prince and quickly brought both him and Jia Yun's bodies, along with several Fire Wolf Knights' corpses, back to Star Source City. When King Ren Tian saw his fourth son reduced to a fool, he was furious and vowed to take severe action.
As a result, a large army pursued Liu Guanfeng and his companions while simultaneously searching for clues within Star Source City. They soon uncovered the true identities of Liu Guanfeng and his group. Upon learning this, the Crown Prince was extremely enraged; he hadn't expected that the Liu Family boy who had fled would grow to such an extent—not only turning Ren Xingyu into a fool but also killing Advanced Knight Jia Yun.
Realizing Liu Guanfeng's strength, Ren Xingyun added two more Advanced Knights as his personal guards.
Liu Guanfeng knew that Star Source City would be vigorously searching for him and would quickly uncover his whereabouts. Therefore, he urged everyone to move faster. After a week of long-distance travel, Liu Guanfeng and his companions crossed into the territory of Guardian Nation.
Guardian Nation is the smallest empire on the continent of knights but possesses immense power. It is considered small because it consists of only one city, yet it is powerful because its king is the representative of the Guardians on the continent. Additionally, Guardian Nation has the support of Dragon Island, and the current king Li Longfei is the son of the Dragon King from Dragon Island.
When Liu Guanfeng and his group entered the capital city of Guardian Nation, Bixi City, they were truly amazed. Bixi City is named after Guardian Xuanyuan Guang's mount and is five times larger than Star Source City. All major guilds on the continent have their headquarters here, making it the center of commerce with countless merchants passing through.
As Liu Guanfeng walked through the streets of Bixi City, he couldn't help but reflect: returning this time has not been easy; so much has happened. However, Huaxing Kingdom and Starfall Kingdom should expect a big surprise when I return next time, Liu Guanfeng silently vowed to himself.
