A group of thirty dared to charge into a group of one hundred.
This happened right before everyone's eyes.
"This Chief Escort Lin is very good at managing his men; they are all brave and daring."
"Young man, your passion is still burning, and you are at the height of your spirit."
"Save your breath. This whole group is just teenagers. How many teenagers have such solid martial arts skills?"
The layman sees the spectacle, but the expert sees the details. Many martial artists with keen eyesight were present and could see that these young men were extraordinary.
Dozens of teenagers charged forward, wielding their long sticks and displaying their exceptionally skilled stick techniques.
The wind howled, and judging from the power contained in each strike, it was clear that even the weakest of these youths had essentially reached the threshold of the ninth rank.
Although the First Escort Agency had a large number of members, their strengths varied considerably.
There are naturally quite a few rank-3 martial artists, and the combined number of rank 9 and 8 far exceeds that of the Four Seas Escort Agency.
However, even they themselves don't believe it.
When faced with the long sticks that the teenagers were throwing, they would inevitably be momentarily distracted, misjudging the point of impact and getting hit solidly.
Is it the "whooshing" sound of a long stick striking the air that makes people irritable?
They didn't know.
Facing the boys wielding sticks, they were already finding it difficult to gain the upper hand, not to mention that Li Qingshan was leaping left and right, specifically targeting those with stronger abilities as his opponents.
The hundred-man squad of the First Escort Agency performed quite poorly, and at this point, they were simply unable to unleash their full potential.
Three seventh-rank martial artists had already fallen, and the remaining eighth-rank martial artists couldn't even last a single exchange against Li Qingshan, who was leaping over using the "Flying Sand Step".
As for the ninth-rank martial artists in the queue?
Li Qingshan simply didn't bother dealing with him.
He left these to those boys.
At that moment, Wang Yizhou felt an explosive surge of emotion welling up inside him.
He was originally from Sanjiang County, and the First Escort Agency had always been seen as something superior to others in his mind.
In fact, this was true not only for him, but for most people in Sanjiang County.
While stuck at the ninth rank, he tried to pay money to join the Yanzheng Martial Arts School, but he never dared to imagine that he could enter the First Escort Agency.
But life is full of surprises.
He never dared to imagine that after entering the First Escort Agency, he would now be fighting against it in another escort agency.
What's even more bizarre is that at this moment, the First Escort Agency seems to be at a disadvantage, while they are in an advantageous position.
"Ha~"
With a loud shout, he clenched his fist and charged forward.
He couldn't fit in within the formation of the sticks and could only be a free man.
At that moment, a young man blocked two incoming swords and blades, looking slightly tired.
Wang Yizhou naturally wouldn't sit idly by.
He was using the "Mountain-Breaking Fist".
Even though he hadn't practiced boxing for long, as a ninth-rank martial artist, his punch was still quite skillful and powerful.
On the First Escort Agency's side, the two attackers showed triumphant smiles.
"Splash!"
In the blink of an eye, the two men's swords trembled, and a powerful force rushed in, causing the boy holding the staff to have his tiger's mouth split open and the staff to slip from his hand.
These two were actually eighth-rank martial artists, and what they had just used was an "internal energy" technique.
Li Qingshan searched everywhere for eighth-rank martial artists to deal with, never imagining that there were two people here who had been hiding their strength from the very beginning.
They had been keeping a low profile all along, but now they finally revealed their true colors.
Its purpose is self-evident.
They were all seasoned veterans, and they naturally noticed the unusual situation at the center of the staff formation long ago.
There were two people there who did not participate in the stick formation defense.
This might be the key to defeating the Four Seas Escort Agency's team.
Wang Yizhou didn't think that much about it.
At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind: he absolutely could not let these two take another step forward.
But he was not Li Qingshan after all, and when facing an opponent whose realm was superior to his own, he was simply unable to fight across realms.
His "Mountain-Breaking Fist" failed to stop his opponent at all; a sword and a saber pierced straight in and struck him.
Lin Ce, watching from the sidelines, frowned.
Now that the battle has come to this point, is the first casualty in the Sihai Escort Agency's ranks finally about to occur?
"Huh?"
The next moment, his eyes lit up, and he realized that he might have been worrying for too long.
As far as the eye could see, the two swords had clearly torn through Wang Yizhou's outer garment, but that was all.
Beneath the outer garment, a shimmering golden light emanated from a piece of gleaming soft armor, blocking the path of the swords and blades.
As the owners of the swords, the two eighth-rank martial artists from the First Escort Agency felt even more different.
They do not simply use the sharpness of swords to harm people, but rather supplement it with internal strength.
However, the fierce internal energy transmitted through the swords vanished without a trace at this moment, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.
It was as if beneath the opponent's soft armor lay another endless abyss, devouring all their inner strength.
Their guess was actually correct. Wang Yizhou, who had been struck by swords, was initially startled, but then overjoyed.
When the internal force of the swords and blades attacked, he couldn't possibly withstand it with just his ninth-grade cultivation level and a piece of golden soft armor.
The best outcome might be that he would vomit blood and collapse under the attack of these two internal energies.
But at that moment, his body underwent a strange change.
Like an ancient beast that has slept for countless years, awakening at this moment.
He felt as if his body was a dark vortex, greedily devouring the incoming internal energy.
"This is the 'Nightmare Demon Body'..."
He was utterly shocked and muttered to himself.
According to my father, this mysterious martial art was passed down from his ancestors, but he didn't know its specific effects.
Now, Wang Yizhou has at least learned about some of the characteristics of this martial art.
It can even absorb and devour the internal energy attacking from the outside.
After absorbing these two streams of internal energy, Wang Yizhou noticed that his martial art had improved, leaping directly from the first level (perfect) to the second level (newly trained).
When has he ever made such rapid progress in martial arts?
Like Wang Yizhou, there was another person who was filled with astonishment and joy at this moment.
Lin Ce watched the scene from afar, and was quite shocked at the moment.
"Wang Yizhou actually managed to break through in the heat of battle? Or is this the original characteristic of the 'Black Nightmare Demon Body'?"
Feeling the martial art in the martial arts panel reach the second level, Lin Ce secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.
I feel like I've hit the jackpot by taking in Wang Yizhou on this trip.
The martial art "Black Nightmare Demon Body" appears to have strange characteristics and great potential.
Wang Yizhou might also be a hidden gem among young men, no less talented than Li Qingshan.
Lin Ce plans to invest more in this "Black Nightmare Demon Body" in the future.
The battle on the field had already begun to change.
After their attack failed, the two men were greatly alarmed, thinking that Wang Yizhou in front of them was also pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
Sure enough, anyone who can stand in the center of the staff formation as a free agent is definitely not simple; they might just be another trump card in the Four Seas Escort Agency's ranks.
They planned to retreat temporarily to devise a plan for the future.
Unfortunately, once this attack was exposed, they had no control over what happened next.
They heard a beautiful tapping sound, their minds went blank for a moment, and then they felt a sharp pain on their heads.
"So that beautiful tapping sound just now, was it the sound of a long stick hitting the skull?"
Before they collapsed from dizziness, the last thing they saw was another person in the center of the stick formation striking them on the head with a stick.
