Chapter Fifty-Four My Enemy Has Only Two Paths

  "I only have one question to ask you, do you have the confidence to take down the champion?" Although Hua Qianwu didn't particularly appreciate Bai Cangdong's character, he was very affirmative of his strength. After all, a viscount who possessed the Golden Fate Plateau wasn't someone you could find in every nook and cranny, but rather someone who stood out from the crowd, and this in itself was proof of his strength.

  "Does Miss Qianwu have no confidence in the other viscounts in the other courtyard?" Bai Cangdong said calmly, looking at Hua Qianwu.

  "The strength of other viscounts in the other courtyard is naturally affirmative, but they have already fought against the viscount of the Wind family in the last West Gate City defense battle, and it's not easy to win over the Wind family."

  "I have something unclear and I don't know if I can ask Miss Senbu for guidance?"

  "You can say it out loud and listen, Qian Wu will tell you all he knows."

  "The viscounts in the other courtyard are all guests of your Hua family, and although their strength is not bad, they can't be considered true strongmen. Why don't the viscounts of your Hua family take personal action to guard the East Gate City?" Bai Cangdong asked.

  "This matter is not something that can be hidden, the Feng family has the Wind Legion, which is one of the main forces in Fenghuacheng. Its strength is second only to the Earl's Knights, while my Huajia, although having the Wanhuashanghui, has financial resources above the Fengjia, but its combat power is somewhat inferior. This time's struggle is not just a simple defense of the East Gate City, all aspects require manpower, and now the main house of the Huajia can no longer spare people to take care of this East Gate City defense dispute, so it can only rely on you door guests."

  "I see, Miss Senbu, please rest assured that as long as I can participate in the Battle of Tōmon Castle, our flag will never fall into someone else's hands." Haku Shiro spoke with boundless confidence.

  Having confidence is a good thing, but you must never be complacent. The viscounts sent by the Feng family are all from the Wind Legion, and have been fighting in the Hurricane Abyss for years. Their combat power and experience are not comparable to ordinary viscounts. Especially one of them, Tianye, who has a Golden Life Plate like yours, his strength is immeasurable. It's said that he already possesses more than 40 strands of Innate Divine Light.

  Hua Qianwu's gaze was fixed on Bai Cangdong, and what made her slightly disappointed was that Bai Cangdong's face was completely covered by a mask, making it impossible to see any expression.

  "That's just what I wanted." Bai Cangdong's tone remained relaxed, as if he hadn't taken that Tianye Viscount seriously at all.

  Huā Qiān Wǔ had originally wanted to pry some information out of Bái Cāng Dōng, after all his identity and background were shrouded in mystery. However, what made her extremely disappointed was that apart from his arrogant and self-important attitude, she hadn't managed to pry out anything else, not even how many Golden Life Spirit Lights Bái Cāng Dōng possessed.

  Bai Cangdong left the Hundred Flowers Garden, but slightly furrowed his brow. The 40-grid golden Benming Shenguang's viscount was already enough to completely suppress him just by the amount of Benming Shenguang.

  "There are still five days until the battle at Dongmen City, I hope to raise my Benming Shenguang by a few more levels. Bai Canghai has not yet mastered a Viscount-level martial skill, and if he really faces off against a Viscount, it will be difficult for him to gain the upper hand in terms of martial skills."

  Thinking of martial skills, Bai Cangdong thought of the "Wind Spirit" martial crystal plate he had obtained from Liufeng Island. It was a genuine and authentic Viscount-level martial skill, and it also belonged to the higher-end Silver Rank.

  "I don't know if the sword sheath can absorb that piece of 'Wind Spirit'." Bai Cangdong was eager to go back and try it out.

  "Halt." Bai Cangdong was walking on the path back to Hong Hua's courtyard when he was blocked by someone.

  Bai Cang Dong silently sized up the man, who was quite tall and large in build, with dark skin, holding a giant double-headed axe in his hand, staring at him ferociously.

  "Are you Viscount Mask?"

  "Yes," replied Bai Cangdong succinctly.

  "Was it you who hurt my brother?"

  "What kind of person is your younger brother?"

  "Viscount Ishiyama."

  "Never heard of it, don't know what kind of person."

  That man was taken aback and muttered to himself: "Impossible, they clearly said it was Viscount Mask who broke my brother's arm bones at Xihua Tower."

  "Are you trying to cheat me?" The man glared at Bai Cangdong fiercely and shouted.

  "It was you who said that person on the Xinghua Building, no wonder, that person was indeed injured by me, but I didn't know what his name was." Bai Cangdong said lightly.

  "You're dead!" The man was furious, and the terrifying silver blade on his double-headed giant axe burst out, chopping towards Bai Cangdong.

  The white light flashed slightly, and the blade's edge slashed onto the ground, cutting out a long gash several meters deep.

  That person's anger had reached its peak, and he continuously swung his giant axe to chop at Bai Cangdong. However, Bai Cangdong only used his agility to dodge non-stop and did not engage in a direct confrontation with that person.

  It's not that he didn't want to fight the man head-on, but rather that none of the martial skills he knew were capable of unleashing the full power of his Viscount-level divine light. The opponent's innate divine light was incredibly dense, with at least twenty or more grids, and even if he possessed a Golden Innate Divine Light, it would be impossible to suppress an opponent with over twenty grids of Silver Innate Divine Light using less than two grids of his own. Moreover, the opponent also possessed a Viscount-level axe technique.

  Not far away, on top of a small building, two beautiful women sat by the window. One was a palace-dressed woman who was Hua Qianwu, and the other was fully armored, in standard knight attire.

  "Yue sister, how's that masked viscount doing?" Hua Qianwu asked the female knight softly as she watched the fight between Bai Cangdong and the other two.

  "His skills are not bad, but they're only at the level of a baron. He hasn't used his full strength yet, and there's nothing much to see for now." The female knight's voice was devoid of any emotion.

  "I hope Viscount Blackwood can bring out his true strength." Hua Qianwu said languidly, "This person always makes me feel very dangerous."

  "A newly promoted viscount, even with a golden destiny plate, can be killed in an instant." The cold and ruthless words of the female knight made Hana feel much more at ease.

  "After all, he's a rare talent, and it would be best if I could utilize him. However, in terms of overall strength, my Hana clan is still inferior to the Fūga clan." Hanachiru sighed.

  "Coward, come and fight me head-on! What kind of man hides and dodges?" Black Mountain Viscount didn't know how many axes he chopped, but couldn't even touch the corner of White's robe, his heart racing with anger and urgency, involuntarily shouting.

  Bai Cangdong didn't care, while dodging and weaving, he carefully observed the axe technique of Black Mountain Viscount.

  After possessing the divine light of fate, Viscount's power and speed have been greatly enhanced. With the sharpness and defensive power of the divine light of fate, it is almost a crushing victory against the male Baron. However, in the battle between the same rank Viscounts, except for the divine light of fate, what is more important is the application of martial skills.

  The viscount-level martial skills are no longer as easily obtainable as the baron-level martial skills. It's already a remarkable achievement for an ordinary viscount to possess one or two viscount-level martial skills, just like this Black Mountain Viscount who seems to only know this one axe technique.

  His axe skills were fast enough and had the effect of enhancing his Benming Shenguang's power, but for Bai Canghai, it was completely useless.

  "Viscount-level is nothing more than that, as long as you have the ability to break through the defense of the divine light, defeating a viscount isn't that difficult. Even if I don't have viscount-level martial skills, it's still the same." Bai Cangdong suddenly took a step forward and swung his palm down like an axe, fiercely chopping towards Hei Shan Viscount. Looking at the angle and technique of his attack, it was surprisingly identical to the axe technique used by Hei Shan Viscount.

  Hei Shanzi, the Viscount, was enraged and swung his axe towards Bai Cangdong. Both of them used the same axe technique, but Bai Cangdong's movements were more agile. Hei Shanzi's axe couldn't even touch him, while he himself landed a palm strike on Hei Shanzi's chest, causing a burst of golden divine light to erupt and almost piercing through Hei Shanzi's Viscount-level armor.

  "I'll kill you!" The Black Mountain Viscount's eyes turned blood red as he roared and swung his axe at Bai Cangdong once again.

  The white light flashed and danced, the palm chopped towards Black Mountain Viscount ceaselessly, leaving wound after wound on Black Mountain Viscount's armor.

  After dodging the axe of Viscount Black Mountain once again, a cold glint flashed in Bai Cangdong's eyes as his palm blade shot out like lightning and slashed back.

  "Spare his life." Hua Qianwu leaped out from the small building and shouted to stop them.

  Plop!

  Bai Cangdong's palm did not stop in the slightest, and he directly chopped into the broken armor of Hei Shanzi's chest.

  The Viscount of Heishan widened his eyes and retreated several steps in a row, slowly lowering his head to look at the wound on his chest that was gushing with fresh blood. The giant axe in his hand fell to the ground, and then his entire body crashed backwards.

  Bai Cangdong withdrew his palm stained with fresh blood, pulled out a white handkerchief and carefully wiped off the blood.

  "I've already shown you mercy, why must you resort to such cruelty?" Flower Dance's body trembled with rage as she pointed accusingly at Bai Cangdong.

  "For my enemies who dare to attack me, there are only two paths to take: one is death, and the other is also death. If he is a person of Qian Wu's, rather than my enemy, then please tell Qian Wu that next life, do not attack me." Bai Cang coldly threw down these words along with the white handkerchief stained with fresh blood, and left without looking back at Hua Qianwu's expression.

  Huajianwuqi's whole body trembled, but she couldn't say anything. She wanted to use Heishanzi to probe Bai Cangdong, but this kind of thing couldn't be put in a obvious place.

  "What you just said is correct, that person is indeed very dangerous." The female knight arrived beside Hana no Mai.

  "I really want to slap him hard in the face." Hana said gritting her teeth.

  "This kind of person, if he's your enemy, you should think of every way to kill him immediately, rather than just slapping his face; if he's on your side, then you should feel lucky, and in the future your enemies will be gnashing their teeth at him like you are now. Just be careful, he's like a sharp butcher knife, hold the handle tightly, don't point the blade at yourself, be careful not to hurt yourself." The female knight said expressionlessly.

  Hua Qianwu had calmed down by then and said with a firm expression, "I will definitely master this butcher knife until the day it becomes scrap iron."
