Chapter Twelve Departure

  Li Xiwind and others did not say anything, they helped Li Yan back.

  Li Yan's face turned pale and terrifying as he withdrew his sword, his whole body covered in cold sweat, like someone who had just been pulled out of the water.

  "Niang Niang Qiang is good at everything, but his physical strength is too weak. Otherwise, he can definitely win this round." Chen Xifeng sighed.

  "Li Yan's body is not good, he has done his best, the rest is up to me." Feng Lie patted Li Yan's shoulder and stepped onto the high platform.

  "I give up." The person who defeated Li Yan was also straightforward, and he himself had no physical strength left. Rather than being beaten down by Feng Lie in two or three moves, it was better to admit defeat and leave.

  Li Xi Feng and others cheered, while the opponent was left with only Du Chang Long. Feng Lie still protected his best state, even if it ended in a two-loss situation, Bai Cang Dong still had a chance to take advantage of it.

  Du Changlong walked up to the high platform, but instead of immediately engaging in a fierce battle with Feng Lie, he walked up to Feng Lie and whispered something in his ear. Feng Lie's expression changed, and after a brief moment, he opened his mouth and said, "I admit defeat."

  Li Xishan and others were stunned, they simply didn't dare believe their eyes and ears.

  "What the hell are you doing?" Rog just finished his treatment and came up to grab Feng Lie's collar, shouting angrily.

  "Du Changlong promised to give us a copy of 'Xuanling Finger'." Feng Lie said.

  "'Xuanling Finger' is nothing but a white silver rank martial technique. As long as we enter the top ten, we can get a gold rank martial technique. You're selling out our hopes for just one 'Xuanling Finger'." Chen Xifeng said with hatred.

  Feng Lie's expression didn't change as he said, "No matter how good the martial skills of Huang Jinjie are, it's useless if we can't even get our hands on them. It's still uncertain whether we can pass Du Changlong's test. Even if we do, what kind of teams will we face next? You're not unaware of that. If Knife Shield Baron were here, there would be a one percent chance for us to make a comeback. Now it's simply a desperate situation, so why not just take out the 'Xuanling Finger'?"

  Chen Xifeng and others all knew that Feng Lie's words were true, but in their hearts they still felt very uncomfortable.

  "Never mind, it's come to this point, saying anything now is too late. The remaining one, Old Bai, doesn't need to be used either. Let's go." Chen Xifeng said with some melancholy.

  "Now that we're all here, I'll go up and take a look too. I've just been promoted to baron not long ago, it won't hurt to take a look." Bai Cangdong quickly walked up onto the high platform.

  Du Changlong was slightly surprised when he saw Bai Cangdong come on the field, but he didn't take it to heart and smiled: "Feng Lie has already admitted defeat, do you still want to fight?"

  "Since you've come all this way, you should at least show your face." Bai Cangdong said with a smile.

  "Alright, bring out your weapon and attack me with all you've got. I'll give you a chance to show off." Du Changlong had already found out that Bai Cangdong was just a newly promoted baron who didn't have much martial skills or equipment, and was only brought here by Chen Xifeng to make up the numbers.

  Such a person, Du Changlong would naturally not take to heart, and he had just persuaded Feng Lie to retreat, also needing a victory to show off his own prestige, Bai Cangdong's appearance at this time was actually in line with his wishes.

  "I've just been promoted to Baron and don't have much equipment on hand, I can only use a few palm techniques that are somewhat decent, please instruct me." A smile appeared on Bai Cang's pale and clear face, looking very sunny and comfortable.

  "Please." Du Changlong made a gesture, meaning let Bai Cangdong attack freely.

  Bai Cang took a step forward and raised his palm, chopping down towards Du Changlong's head.

  "What a naive young man." Du Changlong smiled to himself, raising his arm to block the attack. His arm was equipped with a piece of equipment called "Thorny Guard", which looked like an ordinary fur-lined glove on the outside, but actually had countless sharp thorns hidden within the fur. If someone were to slap him, their palm would be pierced and look like a bee's nest.

  Chen Xifeng and others also shook their heads and sighed, and some of them couldn't bear to look anymore.

  "It's good to suffer a bit, newcomers always have to grow up like this." Li Yan shook her head and said.

  Crack!

  Bai Cangdong's palm chopped down on Du Changlong's arm, but his palm was not pierced by the fine thorns. Instead, the baron-level Thorn Guard armor was split open like it had been chopped with an axe, revealing a long gash inside which the bones were also broken. If not for the guard blocking the way, perhaps Du Changlong's arm would have been chopped off directly.

  Bai Cangdong struck with one blow, and another palm chopped down. Du Changlong had already been frightened out of his wits, and one palm chopped open his Baron-level martial attire. He didn't have any martial attire that could withstand such terrifying destructive power. Seeing the palm edge approaching him like an axe blade, he didn't dare to resist anymore.

  "I give up, I give up."

  Chen Xifeng and others were all stunned for a moment, this was even more unbelievable than Feng Lie's sudden concession.

  "Did Du Changlong admit defeat?" Luo Ge turned his head and asked in a tone that still held some disbelief.

  "It seems like I've lost." Chen Xifeng also hesitated for a moment and responded uncertainly.

  "It's over, we've lost." Li Yan exclaimed excitedly, a flush rising to his pale and somewhat unhealthy-looking face.

  "So we really won, didn't we, Redhead? This guy is actually the new recruit you brought from the entrance department?" Rog said excitedly.

  Li Xiwind was also excited: "Who cares where he came from, now we've won, that's the most important thing."

  When Bai Cangdong stepped down, Li Xifeng and three others rushed over, excitedly almost lifting Bai Cangdong up.

  On the noble seat, Madame Honglian's eyes, shining like stars in the morning, fell on Bai Cangdong, and she involuntarily narrowed her eyes.

  "That's the kid we met at the armory." The female knight standing behind her said in a low voice.

  "Unexpectedly, his martial skills are quite good, interesting." Lady Honglian said slowly: "After the competition is over, bring him to see me."

  "Yes, milady." The female knight bowed her head in response.

  Bai Cangdong and Chen Xifeng returned to their seats, preparing for the second round.

  "What! Wind Lethal, you won't be participating in the match below?" Chen Xi Feng looked at Wind Lethal with a shocked expression.

  "Yes, I have promised Du Changlong to withdraw from the competition and must keep my promise." Feng Lie said calmly.

  "What nonsense are you talking about? Du Changlong and the others have already been eliminated, what kind of damn agreement do you still want to follow?" Chen Xifeng cursed angrily.

  "Whether Du Changlong is eliminated or not has nothing to do with me, I only know that he promised me, as long as I withdraw from the competition, he must give me the 'Xuanling Finger', so I cannot participate in the next match, lest I give him an excuse."

  Chen Xifeng was furious: "Is one 'Xuanling Finger' so important? We work together, as long as we make it to the top ten, there will be a golden-level martial skill, isn't that better than 'Xuanling Finger'?"

  "We can't possibly break into the top ten." Feng Lie shook his head resolutely.

  "How can it be impossible? Haven't you seen Lao Bai's performance? With him, we'll all work hard together and definitely have a chance to enter the top ten."

  "It's impossible, what kind of people are we going to face next? You're not unclear about it, he only knows one type of martial skill, although it's very powerful, but it's too easy to target, we basically can't break into the top ten." Feng Lie still insisted on himself.

  Chen Xifeng turned to Bai Cangdong and asked, "Old White, you won't really only know that one martial skill, will you?"

  "The Baron-level martial skill only has this one, and some ordinary knife methods." Bai Cangdong was not lying, "Painful Knife Method" and "Blade Step" were both unranked martial skills.

  Chen Xifeng suddenly felt a bit discouraged, but still said loudly: "Even if we only know one martial skill, what's the big deal? We still have a chance. Feng Lie, don't be like this, okay? Let's work together and make a comeback, there will be an opportunity."

  "I don't want to waste my time on something that's impossible, so be it. I won't participate in the remaining matches. When I get the 'Xuanling Finger', I'll cultivate with you all." After saying this, Feng Lie surprisingly left directly.

  Watching the wind leave the square step by step, several people feel stuffy in their hearts.
