Seeing that Zhang Diba's strength was lacking, Black Eagle felt relieved. With the Stabbing Sword in hand, he attacked from both sides, while Zhang Diba defended with his sword. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged over thirty blows without a clear victor, and at this moment, Zhang Diba remained calm.
Zhang Diba held an advantage with his agile weaponry, which nearly caught Black Eagle off guard several times. Black Eagle, realizing his earlier underestimation, shifted his approach and launched a fierce assault on Zhang Diba with a series of thrusts and slashes from the Stabbing Sword. As time passed, Black Eagle felt his Fighting Qi depleting significantly; however, he believed he was still in better shape than Zhang Diba.
Just when he thought Zhang Diba would soon falter, the situation suddenly reversed. The Xuan Turtle beneath Zhang Diba emitted a blue glow that enveloped him instantly. At that moment, Severe Winter, standing among his team, shouted urgently, "Watch out, Black Eagle! Be careful; he's riding a Ninth Tier beast!"
As Severe Winter's warning echoed, Zhang Diba's Fighting Qi merged with that of the Xuan Turtle below him. His protective shield expanded dramatically, and simultaneously, the sword in his hand grew larger under the influence of his Fighting Qi. Zhang Diba intensified his assault on Black Eagle, who immediately felt the pressure mount.
Black Eagle panicked internally: What should I do? If this continues, I won't last long against him. Where did he get that Ninth-Stage Beast?
Lost in thought, Black Eagle became distracted just as Zhang Diba seized the opportunity to strike three times in quick succession. Black Eagle barely managed to evade those three strikes and broke into a cold sweat from the close call.
Meanwhile, Liu Guanfeng sat atop his mount and felt reassured. He knew that with the Xuan Turtle's assistance, it was only a matter of time before Zhang Diba defeated Black Eagle. His only concern now was Severe Winter. Thus, Liu Guanfeng focused all his attention on Severe Winter, who seemed to notice being watched and turned his gaze toward Liu Guanfeng.
Severe Winter glanced over but dismissed it; he was confident in his own strength. Although Zhang Diba had the Xuan Turtle's help, Severe Winter had the Four-Legged Sea Dragon as his ally. Despite both being Ninth Tier beasts, the Four-Legged Sea Dragon possessed dragon bloodline traits and was among the elite among beasts. After giving Liu Guanfeng a quick look, Severe Winter returned to observing the battle between Zhang Diba and Black Eagle.
On the battlefield, a significant shift occurred: Zhang Diba was now relentlessly attacking while Black Eagle could only defend desperately. He was drenched in sweat.
Seeing this situation unfold, Severe Winter decided it was time for him to intervene; he couldn't let his trusted subordinate perish after all the effort he had put into nurturing him. If that happened, it would be a significant loss for future dealings with Said Island.
With this thought in mind, Severe Winter raised his great sword and shouted loudly, "Zhang Diba! Do not harm my beloved subordinate; watch as I take your life!"
After speaking, the Four-Legged Sea Dragon beneath Severe Winter charged forward. Upon seeing this movement from Severe Winter, Liu Guanfeng understood what was happening and brandished his Fang Tian Hua Ji while shouting back, "Old man Severe Winter! Don't be so arrogant; let's see how I teach you a lesson!"
With that said, Liu Guanfeng urged his mount forward to confront Severe Winter. Originally intending to eliminate Zhang Diba alongside Black Eagle's strength, Severe Winter did not expect another opponent to appear mid-battle—one who arrived with both voice and presence. Suddenly before him stood a young man around twenty years old with a square face and prominent features wielding an unfamiliar weapon.
Severe Winter steadied his Four-Legged Sea Dragon and pointed his great sword at Liu Guanfeng. "Who are you?"
"Your Majesty may not recognize me," Liu Guanfeng replied. "I am Liu Xin, President of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Do you remember me?"
"It’s you? I have treated your Chinese Chamber of Commerce well; why do you participate in rebellion? Are you seeking death?"
"Your Majesty misunderstands; I am originally from the New World. I established the Chinese Chamber of Commerce solely to assist in creating weapons and equipment for it."
Severe Winter sneered coldly: "Do you think you can withstand me to save someone?"
Liu Guanfeng shook his head, "I don't think I can stop you from saving someone, because what I'm thinking about is how to take your head."
"Haha, many people want to take Old Man's head, but isn't Old Man still alive and well today?"
"Then today I'll let you see how you die."
"Brat, let's see how Old Man will slaughter all of you Rebels."
Severe Winter finished speaking and raised his Twin Swords, striking down with both swords in a swift motion. Liu Guanfeng, however, calmly used his Fang Tian Hua Ji to deflect the Twin Swords with a flick of his wrist.
As they exchanged positions, Severe Winter's Twin Swords swept horizontally, one aimed at Liu Guanfeng's neck and the other at his waist. Seeing the Twin Swords coming, Liu Guanfeng thrust the tip of his Fang Tian Hua Ji upward to block. With a clang, Severe Winter's Twin Swords were stopped by the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
The two exchanged their mounts and turned around. Liu Guanfeng looked at Severe Winter and said, "Severe Winter, you don't need to hold back anymore. If you're only using those moves from earlier, you won't be able to win against me." After saying this, Liu Guanfeng activated his shield, and in an instant, a white protective barrier rose from within him, extending further than Black Eagle's.
Severe Winter was surprised; he hadn't realized that this young President of the Merchant Guild was actually a powerful Divine Knight. It seemed that he was almost on par with Severe Winter, who had already opened both meridians. If given a few more years, he might catch up. Fortunately, he had only opened one meridian for now.
Seeing Liu Guanfeng raise his shield, Severe Winter didn't dare to underestimate him; after all, Liu Guanfeng's strength was not much weaker than his own. So Severe Winter gathered his energy and summoned a blue protective barrier around himself. Most people on Luo Heng Island had Water Attribute abilities since it was an island.
After seeing Severe Winter raise his Water Attribute shield, Liu Guanfeng nodded and tightened his grip on the Fang Tian Hua Ji. At this moment, Severe Winter felt uneasy; initially, he hadn't paid much attention when Liu Guanfeng raised his shield. But after raising his own shield, he realized something was off: other people's shields were colorful—blue for water, red for fire, yellow for gold, brown for earth, and green for wood. But the young man's shield was white; what kind of attribute was that?
Then he thought again: it didn't matter what attribute it was; he just needed to fight. So Severe Winter swung his great sword and said, "Kid, let's have our second round."
"That's exactly what I intend."
Severe Winter and Liu Guanfeng activated their mounts almost simultaneously. The XP and Four-Legged Sea Dragon charged forward at their master's command.
Taking advantage of the length of his Fang Tian Hua Ji, Liu Guanfeng thrust it forward. Severe Winter raised his Twin Swords to parry; after one spear was deflected, Liu Guanfeng quickly changed tactics and swept horizontally with the crescent blade of the Fang Tian Ji toward Severe Winter.
Severe Winter leaned back as Liu Guanfeng's Fang Tian Ji brushed past his nose. The two beasts passed each other as Liu Guanfeng used the momentum from retracting his spear to deliver a spinning strike at Severe Winter.
Severe Winter felt a gust of wind behind him and dared not look back; instead, he threw himself onto the Four-Legged Sea Dragon to narrowly avoid Liu Guanfeng's three incoming strikes.
The two faced each other again on their mounts. This time Severe Winter didn't wait; he urged the Four-Legged Sea Dragon forward toward Liu Guanfeng.
This time Severe Winter learned from experience; before getting too close, he enveloped his Twin Swords with Fighting Qi. The Twin Swords instantly extended to nearly two meters long, compensating for the disadvantage of having shorter weapons. As they approached each other, Severe Winter lunged with his left sword toward Liu Guanfeng's chest while Liu Guanfeng deflected it with his spear. At the same time, Severe Winter brought down his right sword from above. Liu Guanfeng sidestepped to avoid the right-hand strike.
As they stood side by side again, Liu Guanfeng thrust the Fang Tian Hua Ji toward Severe Winter's waist. At that moment, Severe Winter couldn't pull back in time; gritting his teeth and gathering strength in his legs, he jumped up just as Liu Guanfeng's Fang Tian Hua Ji grazed past him. This close call left Severe Winter drenched in cold sweat.
Severe Winter and Liu Guanfeng were locked in a fierce battle, exchanging blows with swords and spears, neither willing to back down.
Meanwhile, the fight between Zhang Diba and Black Eagle was nearing its end. At this moment, Black Eagle had lost the calm demeanor he had when facing Cui Zhongyi; now he was frantically trying to fend off Zhang Diba's attacks.
His protective shield had become murky, and it was getting dangerously close to his body. All signs indicated that Black Eagle was at the end of his rope. Fortunately, the shield provided some protection, preventing him from taking damage. However, it was clear that the shield could not hold out much longer. Black Eagle wanted to retreat, but with Severe Winter engaged in battle nearby, he had no chance to escape. Moreover, he was the last line of defense for the entire imperial capital; if he retreated, Zhang Diba could lead his forces in and the whole capital would fall.
Thus, Black Eagle gritted his teeth and held on. Although he was struggling, Zhang Diba grew more and more emboldened. The Xuan Turtle beneath him continuously enhanced the flow of Fighting Qi to Zhang Diba, making both his strength and Fighting Qi exceptionally abundant.
Seeing that Black Eagle was on the verge of collapse, Zhang Diba summoned all his strength and swung his sword down. Black Eagle raised his Stabbing Sword in both hands to block it. With a clang, Black Eagle's protective shield wobbled twice before vanishing.
The Stabbing Sword in Black Eagle's hands was knocked to the ground by Zhang Diba's strike. After disarming Black Eagle, Zhang Diba placed his sword against Black Eagle's neck and commanded, "Don't move."
Black Eagle gasped in shock and sat still on his mount. Zhang Diba channeled his Fighting Qi through his sword into Black Eagle's body, locking his Dantian. This technique was known to Advanced Knights; it prevented the opponent from using their Fighting Qi for a certain period of time, ensuring that captured warriors could not resist.
Once Black Eagle's Fighting Qi was locked down, Zhang Diba shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Come here and bind him!" The soldiers from the New World rushed forward and quickly tied up Black Eagle securely. His mount, injured from its master’s fall, dared not resist and could only watch helplessly as its master was taken away.
Tsunami Master could only obediently follow behind Black Eagle. At this moment, Black Eagle kept his eyes tightly shut; he couldn't bear to look and couldn't believe he had been defeated so easily.
After binding Black Eagle, Zhang Diba returned to his camp without going to assist Liu Guanfeng. This had been prearranged between them. Once back in his camp, Zhang Diba shouted loudly, "Beat the drums for encouragement!"
With Zhang Diba capturing Black Eagle first and seeing Liu Guanfeng fiercely battling Severe Winter, the soldiers of the New World were exceptionally excited. Upon hearing the command to beat the drums, the drummers did not dare slack off; they struck the giant drum with all their might, creating a thunderous sound that echoed throughout the battlefield.
