Liu Guanfeng, seeing that the two teams had drawn away all the other guards, positioned his Twin Iron Halberds in front of his chest and coldly stared at the Season Instructor. "As an Advanced Knight, isn't it a bit dishonorable to strike from behind?"
The Season Instructor, after performing a flourish with his sword, slung his Greatsword behind him and laughed heartily at Liu Guanfeng. "It's not exactly honorable to raid your Merchant Guild tonight either. Since it's already dishonorable, what do I have to fear?"
Liu Guanfeng nodded. "You're right. Well then, for your dishonor, you should leave your life here today."
"You’re not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue away? If you have the ability, come and take it. My head is right here," the Season Instructor replied, swinging his Greatsword to continue attacking Liu Guanfeng.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng wanted to toy with his opponent. It was already clear that the enemy posed no threat to him; even the soldiers could see that the Ten Heroes Formation created by Xuanwu was indeed very practical in battle. In a 1:2 ratio, Liu Guanfeng had just noticed that only a few had sustained minor injuries, which did not influence the battle at all. Meanwhile, the casualties on the enemy's side far exceeded those on his own.
Moreover, the guards from the New Home Chamber of Commerce were showing signs of collapse. Although both sides had been fighting for less than half an hour, over half of the New Home Chamber of Commerce's forces had already been lost in that short time, and now their numbers were nearly equal.
The guards from the New Home Chamber of Commerce dared not retreat without orders from their five instructors, so they gritted their teeth and continued to resist.
Just as both sides were fiercely engaged in battle, a chilling scream echoed from in front of Liu Guanfeng's tent. This scream reverberated across the wilderness and startled all the soldiers of the New Home Chamber of Commerce because they recognized that the source of the sound was one of their leading Advanced Knights, Song Instructor.
Since both Song Instructor and Season Instructor were lower-tier Advanced Knights whose main daily task was training the guards of the New Home Chamber of Commerce, the guards were very familiar with their voices.
Thus, Song Instructor's voice sent shockwaves through all the guards. In their usual training sessions, Song Instructor and Season Instructor were like gods in their eyes; however, they never expected that within just half an hour today, Song Instructor would be severely injured and in danger.
Some soldiers couldn't help but glance at Season Instructor after hearing Song Instructor's voice. When they saw Season Instructor fiercely attacking the President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce while being supported on both sides, they slowly felt relieved.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng was using his Seven Star Step to entangle with Season Instructor. Each time he dodged an attack from Season Instructor, he would always leave a mark on Season Instructor's Greatsword with his Twin Iron Halberds. After several exchanges, Season Instructor's Greatsword was already covered in scars. However, none of this seemed to concern Season Instructor; he merely thought Liu Guanfeng was trying to chip away at his weapon.
Although on the surface Season Instructor held absolute advantage, he grew increasingly puzzled as to why none of his fierce attacks could harm Liu Guanfeng even slightly. Today, Season Instructor's strikes were quite good; he had used all his learned techniques. While he believed his swordsmanship was impressive, in Liu Guanfeng's eyes it was hardly worth mentioning.
Compared to Liu Guanfeng's martial arts skills, Season Instructor’s techniques were akin to fighting someone untrained in martial arts. The Season Instructor before him displayed no coherent martial discipline whatsoever. If this were a master from Huaxia’s mainland, Liu Guanfeng would certainly not dare to underestimate him; unfortunately, this was Knight’s mainland—a place where martial arts techniques were still just beginning to develop.
Thus arose this phenomenon: Liu Guanfeng seemed to be teasing a child as he led Season Instructor around in circles. Unbeknownst to him, Season Instructor was being led by Liu Guanfeng and felt quite pleased with himself.
At this moment, the voices of Little Black and xp, two beasts, echoed in Liu Guanfeng's mind: "Master (Xiaofeng), how much longer do we have to fight them?"
While dodging the attacks from the Season Instructor, Liu Guanfeng smiled at the two mounts and said, "We'll let Brother Cui take the lead. As long as he defeats his opponent, we can finish off ours in three moves. How about that?"
"Okay, we'll follow your lead," both mounts replied simultaneously.
Under Liu Guanfeng's guidance, the Season Instructor gradually distanced himself from his Merchant Guild guards and approached a spot not far from Cui Zhongyi. Liu Guanfeng took a moment to observe Cui Zhongyi's situation; at this point, Song Instructor was already lying in a pool of blood, and his arms were clearly incapacitated.
Meanwhile, Cui Zhongyi had firmly suppressed the Chief Instructor, and it seemed that victory was just a matter of time.
In fact, Cui Zhongyi could have taken down the Chief Instructor long ago; however, it was rare to encounter such a skilled opponent for a sparring match. This provided him an opportunity to refine his Daruma Staff Technique. After half an hour of practice, he had figured out what he previously didn't understand. Now, Cui Zhongyi was becoming increasingly adept at fighting. The Qimei Staff in his hands moved like a giant dragon soaring around the Chief Instructor.
Initially, when the Chief Instructor first engaged with Cui Zhongyi, he thought that although this person had good martial arts skills, he could still handle it. However, he did not expect that Cui Zhongyi's staff techniques would become faster and more proficient as they fought. The Chief Instructor wondered if this person was using him to practice staff techniques. Could such a madman really exist? It took immense courage to fight an equally skilled opponent using a technique one wasn't very familiar with.
To subdue Cui Zhongyi before he became too skilled, the Chief Instructor called for Song Instructor. However, even under the encirclement of both opponents, Cui Zhongyi continued to use his not-so-familiar techniques and grew increasingly proficient. Eventually, he seized an opportunity created by their coordination error and jabbed his staff into Song Instructor's left arm. Song Instructor winced in pain and slowed down his movements. Without giving the Chief Instructor a chance to react, Cui Zhongyi swiftly struck Song Instructor's right arm with another blow. The two actions flowed seamlessly together, resulting in a scream echoing through the camp.
After taking down Song Instructor, Cui Zhongyi felt emboldened and repeatedly used the few techniques he had practiced despite their lack of familiarity. Although he wasn't fully proficient yet, Cui Zhongyi was still an Advanced Knight; his staff techniques were not something anyone could easily counter, even if the opponent was also an Advanced Knight.
At the same time, Cui Zhongyi's Mutated Wind Wolf unleashed its power as a Mutated Beast under the assistance of four other beasts. It darted between them using wind power while unleashing gusts of wind blades or biting directly.
Despite being besieged for such a long time, there were no issues with the Wind Wolf; instead, it was the four beasts that bore varying degrees of wounds.
Now the Chief Instructor regretted his decisions deeply. If only he had observed the camp situation more closely and understood the overall strength of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce better, he wouldn't be in such a passive position now. Not only had he lost his guards but he might also not make it out today. The Chief Instructor sighed internally: lust leads to ruin. He couldn't help but glance over at Snow Instructor.
At this moment, Snow Instructor wasn't faring much better than the Chief Instructor; she could only try her best to delay being defeated by her opponent. Snow Instructor had never felt her dual daggers so heavy before; now swinging them required immense effort. Sweat had drenched her clothes completely, but no one was paying attention to her beautiful figure anymore.
Among everyone present, only Instructor Ma was in relatively better condition. The large white dog opposite him kept bouncing around on his left and right while occasionally spitting out fireballs to slow down his attack. However, this little dog seemed to possess both fire attributes; logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a dual-attribute creature that also had opposing properties. Whenever Instructor Ma's weapon struck the White Dog, its body instantly turned golden upon impact with metallic sounds ringing out as his weapon hit the large dog’s body.
However, the good thing is that this large dog has average abilities; it can only entangle itself and cannot inflict fatal damage on itself. Therefore, Instructor Ma was able to take some time to look around while battling against XP. However, the more he looked, the more alarmed he became. At this moment, he was no longer thinking about how to defeat the White Dog in front of him. He was calculating that it was only a matter of time before the three people were defeated. How could he escape from the entanglement of the White Dog?
His thoughts mirrored those of the Chief Instructor. In fact, after Song Instructor was incapacitated, the Chief Instructor had considered retreating. However, due to face-saving reasons, he held on. But now, he was truly in a precarious situation. While fending off Cui Zhongyi's attacks, the Chief Instructor was also looking for a way to retreat. Initially, everyone believed that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was inferior to them in both numbers and strength, so during this surprise attack, everyone had entered the camp. Even the guards assigned at the end to relay messages were now standing in the middle of the camp; otherwise, someone could have reported back.
As the Chief Instructor thought about this, his movements became somewhat chaotic. This distraction was easily noticed by Cui Zhongyi, who then slowed his pace and said, "Your mind is in disarray; you are no longer worthy to be my opponent. Stay here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Zhongyi's Qimei Staff transformed into an enraged golden dragon, with all its powerful moves directed at him.
Hearing Cui Zhongyi's words, Liu Guanfeng immediately communicated with his two mounts: "Get ready; Brother Cui is about to deal with his opponent."
Upon hearing Liu Guanfeng's message, Little Black and XP increased their attacks on their opponents. Snow Instructor and Instructor Ma suddenly felt immense pressure, while Season Instructor continued to wield his Greatsword against Liu Guanfeng.
After about ten seconds, Cui Zhongyi shouted loudly, "Let go!" Following that was the sound of weapons hitting the ground as Cui Zhongyi knocked down the Chief Instructor with his staff and pointed one end of it at the Chief Instructor's throat.
The Chief Instructor was subdued by his opponent, causing Snow Instructor, Instructor Ma, and Season Instructor to panic. Little Black, XP, and Liu Guanfeng would not miss this opportunity either. Little Black quickly closed in on Snow Instructor. Seeing Little Black approach, Snow Instructor swung a knife towards Little Black's head. Just as the Steel Blade was about to strike his head, two small horns on Little Black's head suddenly emitted a strong electric shock that hit Snow Instructor's Steel Blade. With a cry of "Ah," Snow Instructor dropped his dual blades and fell to the ground; Lynx was also incapacitated by the shock.
On XP's side, vines suddenly rose up from beneath Instructor Ma and his mount, wrapping both of them within. Then XP opened his mouth and unleashed an explosive fireball learned upon advancing to Ninth Tier, which exploded into a massive fireball next to Instructor Ma. Instantly engulfed in a Blazing Sea, both Instructor Ma and his two mounts were knocked unconscious from smoke and flames.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly at Season Instructor and said, "You're about done too; having fun?" After saying "done," he watched as Season Instructor's Greatsword shattered piece by piece. Startled, Season Instructor found himself kicked in the abdomen by Liu Guanfeng and screamed as he flew backward, collapsing onto the ground unconscious.
In an instant, all five leading instructors were defeated; those guards also threw down their weapons and gave up resistance. After less than an hour of intense battle, Liu Guanfeng's Chinese Chamber of Commerce had completely annihilated over five hundred guards from New Home Chamber of Commerce along with five Advanced Knights—none escaped.
