Bai Yu scanned the area with his eyes, and a flash of white light appeared. He dashed into the forest to his right, and after a horrific scream echoed, Bai Yu returned to his tent. Just as he got back, another scream came from his left. A white figure fell beside him, and upon closer inspection, it was a white ferret. The White Ferret had a person in its mouth, and this person had already lost an arm to the creature. After dropping the person on the ground, Bai Yu looked down and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The person struggled to look at Bai Yu and said, "I’m just a fisherman who accidentally stumbled onto this island. I don’t understand what you want, General. Why are you hurting me?"
Bai Yu coldly regarded the man. "A fisherman? What a remarkable fisherman; an ordinary fisherman with the strength of an Advanced Knight is quite impressive. Regardless of who you are, it means nothing to me. Once you set foot on this island, your fate was sealed."
"General Bai, please, I can explain. I am—"
"I’m not interested in hearing it now." Bai Yu lifted one leg and stomped down hard on the man's head. Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere as the man lay helplessly on the ground.
After killing that man, a figure rushed out from behind Bai Yu. "Bai Yu, return my brother's life!" The newcomer brandished a Greatsword and lunged at Liu Guanfeng.
Liu Guanfeng could only shake his head in resignation: what an idiot. If it were an assassination attempt, he might have had a chance; facing him head-on meant he had no chance at all.
The man charging forward raised his Greatsword while riding a sea cow—a creature that could survive underwater and resembled a regular cow except for its flippers instead of hooves. The sea cow also had three horns on its head. As a creature of the Sea, the sea cow was among the fastest of all Sea Beasts on land; however, being a herbivorous magical beast made its advancement difficult, resulting in lower levels. The sea cow this man rode was merely Sixth Tier. For a sea cow, Sixth Tier was already quite high, but its opponent was a Seventh Tier White Ferret.
The disparity became evident as the attacking man swung his Greatsword directly at Bai Yu. Bai Yu reached for his iron rod from Xiao Wei's hand and mounted the White Ferret. In an instant, the White Ferret darted forward and swapped places with the man. The sea cow stumbled after running several meters before collapsing to the ground, blood streaming from its neck. Meanwhile, its rider had already been struck by Bai Yu's rod and crashed into a nearby tree, sliding down lifelessly; upon closer inspection, his chest cavity was caved in—he must have broken several ribs.
Bai Yu surveyed his surroundings and declared loudly, "I know there are still people around here. I advise you to leave while you can; if I catch you again, those three just now will be your examples." With that, Bai Yu turned and returned to his tent.
Not far away, two onlookers quietly retreated after witnessing the scene. After a while, Liu Guanfeng heard Little Black's voice in his mind: "Xiaofeng, those two have left."
Liu Guanfeng nodded to himself: those two were wise to protect themselves; an Advanced Knight is quite valuable to any organization. It would be unwise for them to sacrifice themselves for no reason. If what had appeared was something that could enhance their strength, those two would not have left so easily; moreover, there would definitely be more people coming.
That night, Liu Guanfeng noticed two individuals enter Bai Yu's tent looking pleased. After some time, Bai Yu called more people inside. A group discussed matters in Bai Yu's room for about half an hour before exiting.
The next morning, all soldiers gathered in the open area and divided into two large teams led by two individuals who then left their camp.
"Big Black, you follow one team while I follow the other. Let's split up and see what these two groups are up to."
After the division of labor was completed, Little Black and Liu Guanfeng separated to follow different squads. However, Liu Guanfeng did not see Bai Yu among the two squads.
Liu Guanfeng followed one of the squads to a mountain peak in the east. There was a cave about ten meters above the ground on the cliff, and at this moment, soldiers below had already begun climbing the cliff.
Three soldiers emerged from the squad, each tied with a rope. They looked at the cave entrance above and exchanged glances before climbing up the steep wall barehanded. A few minutes later, they conquered the cliff and reached the cave entrance one after another. After securing the rope in a stable position, they lowered it down.
Liu Guanfeng was so focused on watching the soldiers' performance that he failed to notice his surroundings. This was due to his carelessness from not seeing Bai Yu.
Two white figures quietly approached Liu Guanfeng's back. At this moment, Liu Guanfeng was still observing the soldiers in front of him and had no idea that danger was approaching.
The two white figures slowly closed in on Liu Guanfeng. It wasn't until they were three meters away that he sensed danger. At that moment, one of the white figures swung a Qimei Staff down at him. Liu Guanfeng rolled aside to dodge the attack, but before he could react further, the other white figure rushed forward and struck him hard in the chest with its forepaw.
The tremendous force nearly made Liu Guanfeng spit out blood. He punched the White Shadow away and finally saw that it was Bai Yu who had just ambushed him.
Bai Yu smiled while holding his staff and said to Liu Guanfeng, "You're quite impressive. I wondered why I always felt like someone was watching us lately; I searched for days without finding you. It seems you're not an ordinary expert. If you were an Advanced Knight, you definitely wouldn't have escaped my search, but you did. If I hadn't been so careless today, I might still not have found you."
Liu Guanfeng replied with a bitter smile, "As a Divine Knight expert, it's shameless of you to use ambush tactics."
Bai Yu shook his head, "The fact that you evaded my search indicates your strength is on par with mine. Although you're still just an Advanced Knight, you give off a very dangerous vibe. I had no choice but to ambush you; let's wrap this up quickly so I can go treasure hunting."
Bai Yu swung his iron staff at Liu Guanfeng. This was Liu Guanfeng's first time facing off against a Divine Knight expert, especially after being ambushed beforehand. Bai Yu didn't give Liu Guanfeng a chance to draw his weapon; their movements intertwined as white and blue shadows clashed.
Liu Guanfeng could only concentrate all his Fighting Qi into his arms to defend himself. While fighting, he couldn't help but sigh at how extraordinary Divine Knight experts were; Bai Yu's Qimei Staff seemed to extend to about three meters under the influence of Fighting Qi, and there was also a blue aura surrounding Bai Yu by about one meter—this was a protective shield only Divine-Level Experts could possess.
Just as Liu Guanfeng was deflecting Bai Yu's attacks left and right, another white figure—Bai Yu's Little White Ferret—quickly dashed over from the side. This time, Liu Guanfeng could hardly catch its speed with his right eye.
The White Ferret charged from behind Liu Guanfeng. Feeling a pain in his back, he turned around and threw a punch at it. Just as his fist was about to hit the White Ferret, it opened its mouth and unleashed a small whirlwind that struck Liu Guanfeng's fist. The Little White Ferret dodged the attack successfully. Seeing it evade, Liu Guanfeng prepared to continue fighting Bai Yu behind him; however, he realized he could no longer turn around as numerous small whirlwinds surrounded him and restricted his movements.
At that moment, Bai Yu's iron staff reached Liu Guanfeng's back. Chaos Bodyguard filled Liu Guanfeng's entire body. Bai Yu's first strike landed directly on Liu Guanfeng's back; protected by Chaos Bodyguard, Liu Guanfeng only felt a sweetness in his throat before spitting out blood. However, he knew that his injuries were not severe.
Seeing that Liu Guanfeng wasn't seriously hurt surprised Bai Yu as well, but years of experience told him that he couldn't afford to stop now.
At this moment, Bai Yu shouted, "Eighteen Sticks of the Sea."
Liu Guanfeng seemed to see countless waves in Bai Yu's stick technique, quickly engulfing him. Liu Guanfeng retreated again, trying to fend off the oncoming wave of sticks. Moreover, he was occasionally restrained by the White Ferret, and each time this happened, Liu Guanfeng would be hit a few times by Bai Yu.
Soon, the two and the beast fought their way to the seaside. By this time, Liu Guanfeng was already seriously injured. Although he had the effects of Iron Skin Soup and the protection of Chaos Bodyguard, being struck by dozens of sticks in succession would have meant death for an ordinary person. Yet Liu Guanfeng only suffered severe injuries, which left Bai Yu extremely shocked.
Bai Yu pondered while attacking: What kind of monster is this kid? How can he withstand so much without dying? Even a powerful Divine Knight would be dead after taking my blows, yet he can still fight. Let me see if you can get up after tasting my final strike.
"Tsunami!" Bai Yu shouted angrily.
Suddenly, a massive wave of stick shadows engulfed Liu Guanfeng. Realizing the danger as he prepared to dodge, Liu Guanfeng found himself unable to move. He closed his eyes and channeled all his Fighting Qi into his body, ready to take this blow head-on. One stick, two sticks, three sticks... Liu Guanfeng could no longer keep track of how many times he had been hit; he only felt that his Chaos Bodyguard was nearly depleted. Gradually, Liu Guanfeng lost all thought and consciousness.
On the island, Bai Yu and the White Ferret watched as Liu Guanfeng was sent flying several dozen meters before landing in the sea. After waiting for over a minute without seeing Liu Guanfeng surface, they exchanged knowing smiles. At that moment, both human and beast felt a hint of fear towards the young man—not because of his strength but due to his resilience. Throughout the battle, it could be said that the young man had been passively taking hits; it was only when he was finally sent flying that he let out a cry and spewed a large amount of blood before sinking into the ocean.
"Brother, let's go back and check on how those little brats are doing with their treasure digging. I hope that kid is dead. I really don't want to encounter him again; he actually scares me a bit."
The White Ferret glanced at Bai Yu and nodded. Just as they were about to turn back, a magical beast suddenly appeared before them. The beast had pitch-black scales, a dragon's head, deer antlers, and an ox's tail. Bai Yu was taken aback; what on earth is this creature?
The black magical beast opened its mouth and asked, "What happened to that young man? What did you do to him?"
Hearing it speak made Bai Yu's heart leap with joy; a talking magical beast must be at least Ninth Tier. He happened to need a mount, and here was a Ninth Tier beast. If he could tame it, he would be on par with Severe Winter and might even find an opportunity to eliminate Severe Winter and become king himself. With this thought in mind, Bai Yu smiled at Little Black and pointed towards the ocean behind him with his hand: "I knocked him into the sea; his fate is unknown."
