Chapter Fifty-Seven: Defense of East Gate City

  The Viscount Tianye swung the evil-destroying sword in his hand, and the golden divine light of his life transformed into a sword blade that slashed onto the sword light formed by Xiang Luo's sword, instantly shattering the sword light.

  Bai Cang was shocked, his Benming Shenguang was far inferior to Tianyexi's, but it shouldn't have been shattered so easily.

  "Po Xie originally had the ability to possess the shattered divine light of Ben Ming, let alone your Ben Ming divine light is far inferior to mine. Even if your Ben Ming divine light surpasses mine, it's still no match for Po Xie's power. Today, you're doomed to lose." Tian Ye swung down with Po Xie, mercilessly chopping down.

  He liked the evil-breaking great sword in his heart, but he didn't care about the arrogance of Tianye Viscount. He was not good at hard fighting and killing, and his exquisite footwork combined with his exquisite knife skills were his greatest advantages.

  The Earl of Amano launched a fierce attack, but Shirahane did not back down. His movements were swift and his sword techniques were mysterious. The silk-like sword moved in unpredictable angles, striking at the Earl's vital points, making him extremely annoyed, yet he had no choice but to retreat and defend himself.

  It was originally the Viscount of Tianye's offensive, but in the end, it turned into Bai Cangdong's sword attacking his vital points, and the Viscount of Tianye could only passively defend.

  Tianyezi had a powerful physique, but he couldn't exert it. He felt suffocated in his heart and thought to himself: "His footwork and swordsmanship are too strange, if this continues, I might really lose to him. But he won't engage with me head-on, and I can't catch up to him either. I need to think of a way to force him into a fierce battle."

  Looking afar at the large flag inserted on the city gate tower, Viscount Tianyexi's heart moved, and with one sword, he forced open the white light to the east, spread his legs and ran towards the direction of the city gate tower.

  "Viscount Mask, today is the battle for the flag, our victory or defeat naturally depends on who can capture the large flag, I won't accompany you to play anymore." Viscount Amagi said loudly while running.

  Bai Cang Dong didn't get angry, and at the same time ran towards the direction of the city gate tower. His movements were exquisite, but his speed in sprinting was not faster than Tianye Viscount's. The two almost simultaneously reached the edge of the city wall and grabbed the gap between the walls to climb up.

  "On this wall, I'll see how you hide!" As he climbed halfway up, Count Tenya slashed at Hakuren with one hand grasping the castle brick and the other holding his sword.

  "Dodge however you like." Bai Cangdong's arm swung down, and the green wing unfolded, coordinating with Ping Bu Qingyun and Tian Shang Ba Bu in mid-air, the sword light was like a poisonous snake, piercing towards Tian Yezi's vital points without any gaps.

  Amano Viscount originally wanted to use the geographical advantage to force Bai Cangdong and his men to fight hard, but instead turned into a more unfavorable situation for himself, completely unable to dodge Bai Cangdong's strange swordsmanship, and was stabbed by the sword light several times in a short period of time.

  The golden light on Tianye's body was shining brightly, and his armor was also a viscount-level equipment. Together with the high-grade Golden Origin Divine Light that exceeded 40 grids, the sword light wielded by Bai Cangdong couldn't even pierce through his armor, only leaving shallow marks on its surface.

  "Haha, your divine light is even weaker than I imagined, probably not even ten units, and yet it can't even pierce my armor." The Viscount Tianye was overjoyed and didn't bother to dodge White Cao's sword light, instead using the sword light as a stepping stone to climb up the city wall.

  "Didn't you just say that? Today's victory or defeat will be decided by whoever gets the large flag." Bai Cangdong, who couldn't kill Tianye Viscount, suddenly gave a strange smile and flew up to step on Tianye Viscount's head, forcing him to stop and steady himself against the castle bricks. Meanwhile, Bai Cangdong had already flown onto the city wall and reached for the large flag.

  Amano Viscount couldn't bear such a defeat, and with the evil-destroying sword in hand, he fiercely threw it at Hakuchou Tō.

  Whoosh!

  Bai Cangdong was about to grab the flag when a strong, piercing sound suddenly came from behind him. He quickly turned around and dodged to one side, and the evil sword flew past his body, almost touching it.

  Bai Cang Dong flipped his hand and grabbed the hilt of Po Xie Sword, while his body spun again in mid-air, returning to the side of the large flag, where he pulled out the flag with one hand.

  "I'll take the sword, and you can disarm yourself." Bai Cangdong raised the large flag in his hand high up, while inserting the Po Xie Sword into the ground with the blade facing down, gripping the hilt tightly, no matter how Tian Yezi called out, he couldn't retrieve it.

  After being equipped by one person, others can only obtain it after the original owner removes the equipment or is killed in a summoned state, and the equipment becomes ownerless.

  If the equipment is still on the life plate and the owner has already died, most of the armor will collapse with the life plate, only some special armors can be left behind.

  The Viscount Tianye was furious, his teeth clenched in anger as if he wanted to pounce on Bai Cangdong and devour him alive. However, in front of the Eastern Gate and the many viscounts and knights, he couldn't afford to lose face, so with a heavy heart, he sheathed his sword, rendering it ownerless.

  Bai Cangdong and Hua Cheng became the winners of this East Gate City Guardian competition. The four knights handed over the token of the East Gate City Guardian directly to Hua Qianwu, who then handed it over to Bai Cangdong in front of everyone, keeping her promise and making Bai Cangdong the new East Gate City Guardian.

  Heavenly Marquis was not convinced of his loss, and Feng Xian also felt the same way in her heart. Heavenly Marquis's strength was clearly above that of Masked Marquis, but just because his skills were not as good as his, he couldn't seize the great flag. If it were a real life-and-death battle, they thought the one who would survive would definitely be Heavenly Marquis.

  No matter how you say it, the news that Bai Cangdong had taken the position of defending Dongmeng City from Tianyewu Marquis spread quickly. The original divine light of less than ten grids was able to suppress the forty-grid original divine light of Tianyewu Marquis, allowing everyone to see the benefits of cultivating body techniques and martial skills.

  In Fenghuacheng, the price of body techniques and martial skills skyrocketed for a time. Any body technique or martial skill with some special features could be sold at a very high price.

  Especially the "Ping Bu Qing Yun" and "Tian Shang Ba Bu" used by Bai Cangdong, were even hyped up to a sky-high price, compared to the viscount-level martial skills, the price was only slightly inferior, far surpassing other baron-level martial skills.

  Many people are inquiring about the blue wings under Bai Cang's arm, what kind of martial arts equipment they are, and what matching techniques they have. They are willing to pay a sky-high price to buy them, but no one knows where "Shura Wings" and "Biluo Wings" come from, so the price is getting higher and higher, even surpassing some viscount-level martial arts, yet still no one can get those two things.

  The craze for body techniques did not last long, and ordinary body techniques did not greatly enhance the power of a baron, let alone a viscount. Techniques like "Eight Steps in Heaven" were found to be extremely difficult after many people tried to cultivate them. To master such techniques to a high level required time, perseverance, comprehension, and innate talent, none of which could be lacking. Many people couldn't even complete the first step, while most only managed to reach the second or third step. Someone like Bai Canghai who reached the sixth step was something that many people didn't dare dream of.

  The Battle of Dongmeng City made Bai Cangdong famous, but also exposed some of his weaknesses. Although he possesses the Golden Life Spirit Light, it is less than ten grids in quantity. If he were to face some viscounts who have been promoted for a long time, this would be his most fatal weakness.

  Kazechi thought so, and Fūsen also thought so. Even Tennoji was grinding his fists, looking for an opportunity to avenge the arrow of that day and reclaim Haja and Ayame's two swords.

  "With less than ten bars of his divine light, no matter how godly his movements are, as long as the plan is right, defeating him won't be a difficult task. Please give me another chance, Miss, I guarantee with my life that this time I will definitely defeat the Masked Baron." Earl Tianye patted his chest to assure Wind Fairy.

  "Hey Tianye, no need to rush, opportunities will come. Fēng Xiān didn't take this loss to heart, the Wind family already has Xīmén, losing one East Gate isn't a big deal, after all, it's just a gatekeeper, and the Wind family wasn't really concerned."

  "What's most important now is the benefit of the hurricane abyss, the revival period of the Eight-Eyed Heavenly Lord is approaching, this time our Wind family must get it, we can't let the Eight-Eyed Heavenly Pearl fall into someone else's hands. You should also prepare well, people from the Flower family will likely go all out to contend for the Eight-Eyed Heavenly Pearl too. At that time, dealing with that Viscount Mask will still be up to you, don't disappoint me again."

  "Miss, rest assured, I won't kill Viscount Mask. My subordinates swear not to do it for anyone." Thinking of Bai Cangdong, Tianye Viscount's teeth were almost bitten to pieces in hatred.

  Bai Cangdong sneezed several times in a row and rubbed his nose, muttering to himself: "I don't know who's thinking of me like this."

  The position of the east gate guardian is very leisurely, and in fact, there's nothing to do unless the undead tribe comes to attack. Otherwise, the city defense is almost useless. The city gates and walls are usually guarded by ordinary soldiers on a rotating basis, and he only needs to patrol a few times a day.

  "What's the point of guarding a city, it's just watching the gate." Bai Cangdong was still in a good mood. He really loved that broken evil sword, which was more than twice as heavy as the pure white knight's greatsword, but it felt quite comfortable to use. Most importantly, the broken evil had the ability to shatter the divine light of the origin, and on the day of the flag capture, if he had this broken evil, he wouldn't have even been able to pierce Tianye Viscount's armor.

  "Lord Cheng, there is a woman who claims to be your friend and wants to see you." A small guard suddenly ran up to report to Bai Canghai, who was sitting inside the city gate, fiddling with his Broken Evil Sword.

  "Who is it?" Bai Cangdong slightly furrowed his brow, he didn't seem to recognize any woman in Fenghuacheng, even if it was Yan Mengyun, he didn't know that he was the Masked Viscount.

  "I don't know, she won't say, just saying that adults will understand when they see her."

  Bai Cangdong thought for a moment, then went down the city gate tower and saw a beautiful woman wearing armor standing beside the stone steps, with a pair of wonderful eyes staring at him.

  "Li Xiangfei, how did you end up here?" Bai Cangdong couldn't have imagined that the sole heir of Dao Leng City would actually show up in Feng Hua City.

  What's frightening is that Earl Kaid Renn couldn't possibly let Lixiangfei run to such a distant place alone, and if Honglian also came to Fenghuacheng, with her intelligence, she might see through his dual identity, which would be disastrous.
