Chapter Seventy-two: Reversal

  Sword lights intersect, breaking evil and silk gauze double swords emerge together, white primordial spirit light shines brightly.

  Bai Cangdong had not practiced the "Bei Ye Jing" for many days, nor had he used it. Now, however, he couldn't care about that much, first escape the encirclement and then talk.

  The Knights' combo was exquisite, but it couldn't trap White Cao Dong, who fluttered about in the air like a butterfly, striking from all sorts of unimaginable angles and breaking through the encirclement in the blink of an eye.

  "It's not that easy to leave." Hua Qianwu's flame-red armor was ablaze with flames, her flame-tipped spear let out a roar as it pierced through the air, stabbing towards Bai Cangdong's back as he tried to escape.

  "I've been waiting for you." Bai Cangdong's body borrowed force in the air, dodging the flame spear and rushing to Hua Qianwu's side. His twin swords flashed quickly, each sword being mysterious and unpredictable.

  Hua Qianwu dodged but couldn't avoid Bai Cangdong's attack, relying on the Hellfire set to barely block the double swords' repeated slashes.

  "Mask, I have the Hellfire set, no matter how skilled your swordsmanship is, you can't even scratch me. Why don't you just surrender quickly and come with me to see Count-sama and ask for forgiveness? Perhaps Count-sama will spare your life." Hana Chidori said proudly.

  Bai Cang's twin swords in his hands did not stop attacking, and his body was always close to Hua Qianwu. Although he could not kill Hua Qianwu, he also made it impossible for the Knights to attack him.

  "You're only able to barely keep up with me because of that Hellfire set, if I were to take you back to see the Earl and he made me a knight of Yan Mengyun, giving me another set of armor, wouldn't you be afraid?" Bai Cangdong sneered.

  Hua Qianwu's face stiffened slightly, then she sneered: "You're really annoying, I'm Hua Qianwu, why should I be afraid of you?"

  Although he said so with his mouth, his hands were much more ruthless than before, and he really had a murderous heart.

  Bai Cangdong's defense was impenetrable, and he could only use his agility to entangle Huajianwu, not letting go. Huajianwu tried several times to break free but couldn't, being tightly wrapped by Bai Cangdong.

  Those viscounts of the Knights Order could only surround them from outside, but couldn't help at all. Bai Cangdong's movement speed was too fast and his trajectory was too strange. They were afraid that if they made a move, they wouldn't be able to hurt Bai Cangdong, but instead harm Hua Qianwu.

  "You can't escape today no matter how you struggle, White Haotian!" Hua Qianwu shouted in hatred.

  "Now nature is useless, but after your divine light is used up, it's hard to say. I remember you just cultivated your divine light to the 17th grade not long ago, I don't know how much longer you can hold on?" Bai Cangdong smiled happily.

  Hua Qian's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly calmed down: "You reminded me, you've been constantly using your movement technique, and the consumption of your Primordial Spirit Light is much faster than mine. I remember you only have less than ten units of Primordial Spirit Light left, which is even less than mine. Let's see how long you can last."

  "Haha, then let's see who can hold on longer." Bai Cangdong laughed loudly.

  Hua Qianwu still believed that she could last longer than Bai Cangdong at the beginning, but gradually, her innate divine light began to decline, while Bai Cangdong's innate divine light remained radiant and boundless, making her feel shocked and angry.

  Bai Cangdong twisted his body in mid-air, dodging Hua Qianwu's sword by an unbelievable margin. Suddenly, he accelerated directly in the air, flashing behind Hua Qianwu. He retracted his twin swords, one arm hooked around her neck and the other pressed against her head.

  "Now your life-saving divine light has almost been consumed, if I twist your head around in a circle like this, do you think that suit of Hellfire armor can save you?" Bai Cangdong said into Hua Qianwu's ear.

  "You dare touch a single hair on me, and Count-sama will tear you limb from limb."

  "It seems that in the eyes of Feng Hua Bo, I am more important than you. At least Feng Hua Bo has said that he wants to hand over the Knights' Order to me to lead. I wonder if after I kill you and then go to apologize to Feng Hua Bo, would he be willing to make me Yan Meng Yun's knight? Guess again, will Feng Hua Bo kill me for your sake?" Bai Cang Dong said as he retreated while holding Hua Qian Wu.

  "Tell them all to stop, don't let them follow, or I won't be able to escape. You know what will happen to you if that's the case, no need for me to say more." Bai Cangdong said to Hua Qianwu as he saw those Knights' viscounts surrounding him nonstop.

  Hua Qianwu hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying to the Knights: "All of you, stand still."

  "That's right." The Knights who saw the scene indeed stopped and listened, Bai Cangdong carried Hua Qianwu slowly moving towards the direction of the mountain forest.

  Until Bai Cangdong took Hua Qianwu into the mountain forest, those Knights Templar did not come after them, and only then did Bai Cangdong breathe a sigh of relief.

  "Still not letting me go?" Han Qianwu said coldly.

  "I didn't say I'd let you go." Bai Cangdong stared at Hua Qianwu with interest.

  "You......" Hua Qianwu's teeth itched with hatred, but there was nothing she could do.

  "You can leave if you want, but you'll be losing a fortune. This Hellfire set is quite good, take it off and give it to me, and I'll let you go."

  "You despicable scoundrel, you'll never succeed." Hana Chidori shouted in indignation.

  Bai Cangdong also knew that Hua Qianwu would rather die than hand over the Hellfire Set, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain himself to Feng Huaboye when he returned. He was just speaking casually anyway.

  "You're not willing to hand over the Hellfire set, and I naturally can't let go of my own enemy that easily. It seems like things are getting a bit tricky. Is Lord Mask going to have to resort to destroying flowers with his bare hands today?" White Eastern's hands slightly twisted Flower Thousand Dance's head, his voice low and cold as he spoke into her ear.

  "Wait, you know that the Hellfire set is a gift from Count Windflower, I couldn't possibly give it to you. Here, I have a Viscount-level golden armor, if you spare my life, I can give it to you." Hua Qianwu cried out in panic.

  "Take it out and see if it's enough to exchange for your precious little life." Bai Cangdong knew that Hua Qianwu was not the kind of person who would generously sacrifice herself, otherwise she wouldn't have let the Knights retreat earlier.

  Hanachiru summoned a gigantic shield that was over two meters tall, and the emblem on it was indeed the golden armor of a viscount.

  "This thing is actually useless, but it's barely enough to save your life, disarm yourself."

  "How can I believe that you'll let me go if I give you the shield?" Huā Qiān Wǔ said through gritted teeth, having been tricked by Bái Cāng Dōng earlier and no longer willing to trust him easily.

  "What I say will naturally be followed, you'd better make a decision quickly, those Knights are about to catch up, and it won't look good if they see you buying your life with money."

  Hua Qianwu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the desire to live on, and removed the armor from her shield.

  Bai Cang Dong picked up the shield, kicked Hua Qianwu's buttocks with one foot, and kicked her out. Then he quickly escaped in the opposite direction of Fenghuacheng.

  Hua Qianwu fell to the ground, and after a long time, she finally got up. There was no longer any sign of Bai Cangdong. Her heart was filled with rage: "Faceless, don't let me see you again, otherwise I will definitely tear you into pieces to vent my anger."

  Bai Cangdong had already walked far away and did not hear Hua Qianwu's harsh words.

  Suddenly a sword light appeared out of thin air, pointing directly at Bai Cangdong's throat. In an instant, Bai Cangdong summoned his twin swords to block the sword light, and Ling Luo slashed towards the figure that had suddenly appeared in mid-air.

  The sword light stopped about ten centimeters from Bai Cangdong's throat and did not actually stab down. Bai Cangdong's Po Xie Sword blocked empty air, while the Ling Luo Sword was about to slash onto that person's body, but he didn't dodge or evade.

  Bai Cangdong forcibly took back the Ling Luo sword, and the sword light of the Ling Luo sword cut through that person's clothes, leaving a shallow wound on his arm.

  "Why?" Bai Cangdong looked at Ling Bo and asked.

  "You saved my life, I can't bear to harm you, but the Earl's orders must be obeyed. It's the only way for both of us to benefit." Ling Bo said quietly.

  "You're really a silly girl, the sword on your arm is enough to convict you." Bai Cangdong turned around and left, disappearing from Lingbo's line of sight in an instant.

  In the garden of the Wind family, Feng Xian sat on a rattan chair among the flowers, holding a piece of paper with only four words written on it.

  "Farewell, but I fear that once you leave, we may never meet again in this lifetime." Feng Xian crumpled the note into a ball with some resentment, wanting to throw it away.

  But the hand raised in mid-air, however, couldn't bring itself to let go, and with a sigh, it put down the hand, carefully unfolding the paper ball, then neatly stacking it away into the small pouch tied at the waist.

  "Miss, we've recruited a viscount, would you like to meet him?" The steward said softly as he walked into the garden.

  "Is there still a viscount willing to join our Wind family at this time?" Upon hearing this, Feng Xian was slightly taken aback and after a moment of contemplation said: "Bring him here."

  "Yes." The servant went out and soon brought someone in.

  "Big sister, this is the new Viscount of our Wind family."

  Feng Xian saw the man and her body involuntarily trembled, immediately forcing herself to calm down. She said to the butler, "You can go now, I'll have a few words with this Fist Duke."

  After the housekeeper left, Feng Xian hastily pulled Bai Cangdong to sit down on a wicker chair in the flower bush that blocked people's ears, and said in a low voice: "You are really bold and reckless, you left and then came back again?"

  "Feng Hua Earl had the intention to keep me, and sent Hua Qianwu and Ling Bo with a team of elite knights to intercept me. I managed to break through, but I think Feng Hua Earl will not give up easily. She might even come after me personally. Even if I run as fast as I can, how can I outrun an earl who is determined to catch me? It's better for me to return in my true form. Feng Hua Earl would never expect me to have the guts to sneak right under her nose." Bai Cangdong said with a smile.

  "You...!" Feng Xian wanted to scold him, but couldn't bear to.

  "I'd rather not linger here for too long, lest others become suspicious. You arrange a place for me to stay first, and we can talk more at night."

  "Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion now? It's too late, it's fine that you're back, but you shouldn't have joined the Feng family. You'd better go join the Hua family instead, that way no one will suspect a thing." Feng Xian gave him a cold glance.

  Bai Cang shook his head and said: "I still want to go with you to the bottom of the abyss, if I join the Hua family, Hua Qianwu will definitely not easily use an outsider."
