After another brief struggle, Xu Haifeng suddenly realized that something was amiss. This crazy magic shovel technique indeed had its unique aspects.

  Even if Li Mingtang's strength was greater, it would not be possible for him to wield such a heavy crescent moon spade with such vigor for an extended period. If it were just a few moves, that would be acceptable, but to maintain such pressure from start to finish is beyond what can be explained by innate divine power.

  After all, looking at the world, there is only one human-shaped violent dragon, Qin Yong.

  Li Mingtang was able to do this entirely by relying on a set of special techniques, he had mastered the use of the crescent shovel and could wield it with ease, using his arms to guide it, swinging it out in a wide arc, and before the old force had dissipated, he would borrow momentum to turn around, so that the heavy crescent shovel was always maintaining an extremely fast motion, while the strength he used himself could only be described as negligible.

  Although Xu Haifeng's quiet heart method is famous for its endurance, even if he uses his water grinding skills, he may not lose to his opponent. However, at this moment, what kind of state of mind is he in? He originally intended to temper his understanding at the critical moment of life and death, so why should he personally take action if he knows it's difficult?

  Li Mingtang is powerful, but can he still be the common enemy of the three Andrew brothers?

  Xu Haifeng's eyes flashed with determination, he took a step back, closed his eyes, held the sword in front of his chest, and slightly tilted his waist.

  The crescent moon shovel almost stuck to his belly and swept across horizontally.

  Li Mingtang was startled by his bold move, this set of crazy shovel techniques emphasized the use of leverage to generate power, continuous and uninterrupted, even he himself found it difficult to control.

  That last blow was extremely vicious. If Xu Haifeng had dodged a fraction of a second later, he would have been disembowelled by the crescent shovel and died instantly.

  Li Mingtang didn't care about the life of this Commander Xu, but what he cared about was that if he killed Xu Haifeng, then who would carry out the promise between them.

  But at this moment, even if he wanted to give up and not fight, it was already beyond his control.

  Xu Haifeng closed his eyes and didn't look, relying solely on his spiritual awareness to guide him. In the midst of the violent storm-like shadows of the mountain-quelling staff, he came and went freely. He didn't move a single sword, yet with just his body technique, he had already reached an invincible realm.

  Li Mingtang was getting more and more shocked, the little hope in his heart almost completely extinguished.

  This young man's strength is unfathomable, far surpassing any master he has ever seen. To be able to remain so calm and composed under his insane digging technique is truly unimaginable.

  When the fight reached its climax, Xu Haifeng opened his eyes and revealed a bright smile, already having the upper hand.

  Li Mingtang was shocked in his heart, and with all his might, he wielded the crescent shovel, but the countless changes of moves within it had already been seen through by Xu Haifeng, and could no longer pose any threat.

  Xu Haifeng dodged the swift and fierce crescent moon spade with ease, his sword pointing at the spade's body as a surge of powerful true energy poured in.

  If we talk about borrowing power and counterattacking, is there any skill in the world that can surpass Taiji Divine Skill?

  Li Mingtang could no longer hold back, the thick and heavy crescent-shaped shovel suddenly flew into the air like it had grown wings, before heavily smashing onto the ground, producing a loud crash.

  "Senior, I concede." Xu Haifeng sheathed his sword and smiled.

  Li Mingtang looked at the crescent shovel that had smashed a big hole in the ground, feeling a mix of emotions, his heart as dead as ashes.

  At this time, the shouting and killing voices outside gradually disappeared. It was clear that the Black Flag Army had controlled the situation, and all those who resisted were beheaded.

  "Lin Changkong, what are you doing here?" Xu Haifeng's eyebrows slightly furrowed as he cast his gaze towards the dark area beside him.

  Lin Changkong walked out of the darkness and said respectfully, "It was indeed the military advisor's order to have me follow Master around to prevent any unexpected events."

  "What's going on? Where is Military Advisor Jiang? Who is protecting him?" Xǔ Hǎifēng rebuked loudly. At this moment, he was not the same as before, and those who could threaten his life were few in number throughout the world. But Jiǎng Kǒnmíng was just a scholar, and if there was no one to protect him by his side, it really made people worry.

  In response to Xu Haifeng's inquiry, Lin Changkong shook his head dazedly. Although he was extremely dissatisfied with this, Xu Haifeng knew that he couldn't blame him for it either.

  He strode up to Li Mingtang and struck several of his acupoints with his hand.

  Li Ming Tang was like an ignorant person and did not resist, letting him do as he pleased. After the acupoint was pressed, his legs became weak and he fell to the ground.

  "Bring this man along, we're going to see General Military Advisor." Xǔ Hǎi Fēng ordered and led the way out.

  When he arrived at the square, Jiang Gongming had already arranged everything. Thousands of mountain bandits were tied up and dragged to the center of the square, surrounded by fully armed black flag soldiers. Their cold, empty eyes stared at these disheveled mountain bandits, and a fierce killing aura filled the entire square.

  Among these mountain bandits, most of them were dragged out from their warm beds by the Black Flag Army. Few of them were dressed properly. The cold night wind blew on their bodies, freezing to the bone. They had no choice but to curl up their bodies, but it was still useless. Their whole body shivered with cold.

  "General, great success, congratulations!" Xu Haifeng walked over with a big laugh.

  Jiang Gongming bowed deeply, his face twisted in distress, and sighed: "Your Excellency, what do you want your student to do? Can a general personally enter the danger zone..."

  Xu Haifeng waved his hand, interrupting him and said: "General, don't mention me, Xu has also repeatedly reminded you that there must be at least one top-notch expert by your side. Then who sent Lin Changkong away? General, didn't you say before that military orders are like mountains, not to be disobeyed? Then who dared to openly defy my orders?"

  Jiang Kongming blinked his eyes, coughed and said: "I don't know if the master has met Li Mingtang on this trip?"

  Xu Haifeng secretly smiled in his heart. Since Jiang Kongming no longer nagged, he naturally wouldn't make a fuss about it either.

  "Of course, today was not in vain, I learned the 108 routes of the crazy devil's shovel method, it's indeed a unique skill that is listed among the extraordinary and mysterious arts." Xǔ Hǎifēng praised.

  Jiang Gongming was shocked and asked: "Is this person really so capable?"

  "Even if you're capable, how can you be, still being captured by Xu Mou's hands?" Xu Haifeng's words exuded an incredibly strong self-confidence, making it seem like a matter of course.

  He turned his head and saw Lin Changkong hurrying over with Li Mingtang, who had been struck by the acupoint.

  Suddenly, Xu Haifeng's heart sounded a warning, his eyes condensed and he shouted: "Lin Changkong, be careful."

  Lin Changkong was taken aback, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, and he suddenly felt his hand loosen, the Li Mingtang he had been holding onto had already been snatched away.

  He was after all a top-notch expert, reacting extremely quickly, and almost simultaneously, he threw a punch at the black shadow.

  However, the black shadow's momentum didn't stop, and it instantly dragged Li Mingtang out of a few feet, Lin Changkong's full-strength punch not even touching the corner of his clothes.

  The direction in which the black shadow rushed forward was exactly where Xu Haifeng was, and the three Andrew brothers were right in front of him. The three dark soft swords that could capture souls and seize spirits silently sealed off the direction in which the black shadow was advancing.

  But the dark shadow suddenly accelerated at this moment, and in a flash of lightning, it had already broken through the sword net.

  Xu Haifeng took a step back, blocking Jiang Kongming's path, and with a swift motion of his Broken Spirit Sword, he enveloped himself and Jiang Kongming in a semi-circle. Losing Li Mingtang was a small matter, but if anything were to happen to Jiang Kongming, even razing the entire mountain stronghold would be worth it.

  That black figure just wanted to save people and had no intention of entangling with Xu Haifeng, his body suddenly turned left and ran to the side of the square.

  What speed is this? Even if it were Oben's masterful skill, it would still be inferior by three points.

  Xu Haifeng and Jiang Kongming exchanged a glance, both thinking of one person, Zhebie.

  Only Zhē Bié's unparalleled divine arrow can catch up with this person's speed that is as swift as a ghost or a demon.

  That person stopped at the edge of the square, looking at Li Mingtang in his arms, with a puzzled expression in his eyes, and couldn't make up his mind what to do.

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on him, this person was short and small-headed, but his hands and feet were exceptionally long. What made people call out in surprise was that his face was covered with thick, dense fur, making it impossible to see his features clearly. If he hadn't been wearing a warrior's uniform, the crowd would have almost thought he was a giant macaque come to life.

  "Monkey kid? How did you get here?" Li Mingtang's meridians were sealed, his body unable to move, but his mind was clear and he understood the sudden change that had just occurred.

  "I... I came to save... you." The monkey child stuttered, his words unclear and somewhat ambiguous, as if he had just learned to speak.

  "Who are you?" asked Xu Haifeng in a low voice.

  The monkey child exchanged a glance with him, and immediately felt the other's gaze was like a substance, his heart shook greatly, he turned his head away, not daring to look again, but also didn't answer his question.

  "Monkey boy, put me down." Li Mingtang said as he lay in his arms.

  The monkey child cried out in a daze and was gently laid on the ground by Yin, who then squatted down beside him.

  "Go away and spend the rest of your life in the mountains, don't come out again." Li Ming Tang looked at him, his eyes filled with tears, finally speaking up.

  The monkey child tilted his head, thought for a moment, and immediately shook his head. He wanted to explain something but didn't know how to start, so he anxiously scratched his ears and jumped up and down restlessly.

  Li Ming Tang sighed and said, "Commander Xu, this child was found by me in a monkey den on the mountain. He was abandoned as a child and grew up with monkeys, unaware of the dangers of the world. Please, sir, have mercy and let him go."

  Let him go? If he wants to leave, under the vast sky, apart from Zhi Bian, is there anyone else who can make him stay?

  Xu Haifeng was about to respond when he suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled tight. He turned around and saw Jiang Kongming holding onto his sleeve, mouthing the words: "This person has an extraordinary talent, we can recruit him."

  Xu Haifeng nodded with a hint of a smile and strode forward towards Li Ming Tang.

  Although the thick fur on his face hid the monkey child's expression, from his eyes and movements, it was clear that he was extremely wary of Xu Haifeng. Seeing him approach with big strides, he immediately picked up Li Mingtang, looking like he would flee far away at the slightest sign of trouble.
