Gao Feng sneered upon seeing Fang Zheng’s displeasure.
"I hope this year’s Jiangnan City Dragon Group won't disappoint me, otherwise today's competition will be meaningless."
Fang Zheng’s expression darkened as he replied, "It seems you're very confident. I hope you can still smile so happily if the Patrol Division loses later."
Gao Feng retorted, "Of course, I'll be happy. But I hope the Dragon Group members don't collapse from blood exhaustion later."
"You... Gao Feng, why don't we go down and try ourselves? Do you dare?" Fang Zheng said angrily.
As he spoke, the battle uniform he wore moved as if by itself, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.
"Want to fight? Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Gao Feng narrowed his eyes, unfazed by Fang Zheng.
The Mayor of Jiangnan City, Huang Rui, who was standing nearby, felt helpless.
He quickly stepped between the two, trying to mediate.
"Gentlemen, you are not the main characters today. Please calm down."
"Now that everyone is here, we can begin the competition. Let's say less."
Gao Feng and Fang Zheng snorted coldly and returned to their seats.
Seeing this, Huang Rui quickly looked towards the Dragon Group and the Patrol Division and announced loudly.
"Everyone, this year's competition is the same as in previous years. Whichever side has more points after the individual and team matches wins."
"Let's start with the individual matches first. Both the Dragon Group and the Patrol Division will each send out three members to participate."
"The winner of each duel will earn five points for their team."
When Huang Rui announced the start of the competition,
The Dragon Group and the Patrol Division, as if by prior arrangement,
Each sent out three people simultaneously.
From the Dragon Group, Qi Dalei, Xiao Dao, and a burly man stepped forward.
From the Patrol Division, Nangong Wu stepped out, flanked by two men with stern gazes.
Zhang Yang, who had been observing the Patrol Division's lineup, temporarily withdrew his gaze from the black-clothed man hiding at the rear of the Patrol Division.
He then turned his attention to Nangong Wu and the other two, his brow furrowing.
"Captain Qi, why don't I go for the first match?" Zhang Yang said.
"Your role is in the team competition. We three can handle the individual matches," Qi Dalei shook his head.
"No, Nangong Wu and his two teammates are very strong. Apart from you, they have no chance against the other two, because the opponent's cultivation level is..." Zhang Yang tried to insist.
However.
Before he could finish, he provoked dissatisfaction among the Dragon Group members.
The competition hadn't even started,
And Zhang Yang was already boosting the enemy's morale and undermining their own!
"Zhang Yang, can you just be quiet? You were late this morning, and now you're being arrogant. What exactly do you want?"
"If you were really that capable, would we, the Dragon Group, have to save you from the Patrol Division time and time again?"
"Our captain is kind and doesn't want you to lose face, which is why he agreed to let you participate. But don't think too highly of yourself."
"..."
The Dragon Group members had completely had enough of Zhang Yang.
Xiao Dao was even more displeased, staring at Zhang Yang with a threatening glint in his eyes and saying in a deep voice.
"Seeing your ignorant arrogance, I just want to teach you a lesson."
"After this competition, regardless of whether the captain agrees, I will give you a profound lesson!"
Zhang Yang's expression immediately turned grim.
Even a venerable Buddha would feel uncomfortable being looked down upon like this.
He had genuinely tried to help, but it was perceived as an insult.
The individual matches were about to begin, and the Dragon Group was already having internal strife.
Qi Dalei's mood also turned sour.
He didn't want the Patrol Division to laugh at the Dragon Group, so he quickly intervened.
"Alright, everyone, stop talking!"
"Zhang Yang, watch the individual matches for now. And you, Xiao Dao, calm down and save some energy for the upcoming matches."
After speaking, Qi Dalei led Xiao Dao and the other Dragon Group member forward.
Seeing that he was being ignored, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Why wouldn't anyone believe him?
It seemed he could only try harder in the team competition.
The members participating in the individual matches from both sides stepped forward and faced each other.
"Qi Dalei, let's call it a draw, no need to fight."
"See you in the team competition. Let those two fight in the individual matches, what do you say?" Nangong Wu suggested with a smile.
However, his smile looked rather sinister.
Qi Dalei's gaze sharpened.
To be honest,
He didn't want to reveal his current strength in the individual matches.
After all, the points for individual matches were not high, and he preferred to conserve his strength to deliver a crushing blow in the team competition.
Moreover, with the three referees present during the individual matches,
Even if he defeated Nangong Wu, he wouldn't have a good opportunity to cripple him.
This way, he wouldn't be able to avenge A Tian.
"As you wish. Let them fight. Xiao Dao, you go first," Qi Dalei said.
"Feng Yang, you go up and show them the might of the Patrol Division," Nangong Wu said with a smile.
Xiao Dao, who was seething with anger,
Immediately stepped forward, his pent-up rage erupting.
Bang!
Xiao Dao lunged forward, stomping on the ground and using the force to charge.
His clenched fists shot towards Feng Yang's face.
"A mere trick," Feng Yang chuckled.
He stepped forward, drawing circles in the air with his palms, deflecting the force of Xiao Dao's punch.
Then, Feng Yang leaned forward, raising his knee and striking towards Xiao Dao's abdomen.
Seeing this, Xiao Dao sneered.
"Just brute force isn't enough in a fight; you need to use your brain."
With that, he quickly squatted down.
A sweeping leg kick targeted Feng Yang's lower body.
Thump.
Feng Yang, caught off guard, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Strike while the iron is hot!
Gaining the advantage, Xiao Dao immediately pressed forward, launching a barrage of punches towards Feng Yang's chest.
Seeing this,
The Dragon Group members were ready to cheer for Xiao Dao.
Only Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed.
"Alas, we're going to lose."
Clearly,
Zhang Yang's words once again drew the displeasure of the Dragon Group members.
They glared at him angrily.
"Zhang Yang, that's enough! Xiao Dao has the upper hand, can you stop being a jinx?"
"It's ridiculous, with your little strength, you dare to point fingers. I don't know where you get your courage from."
"..."
Now, not only the Dragon Group members but even Qi Dalei was somewhat displeased with Zhang Yang.
"Zhang Yang, just watch. How could Xiao Dao..."
"This..."
Qi Dalei's words trailed off as he suddenly got stuck.
"Lost?! How is that possible!"
In a flash.
Just as Zhang Yang had predicted Xiao Dao would lose,
The two fighters in the arena had also determined the victor.
Feng Yang, who had been swept off his feet by Xiao Dao, transformed his aura as Xiao Dao's fists rained down on him.
A surge of powerful blood qi erupted from within him.
His hands firmly grasped Xiao Dao's fists.
Then, with a carp flip, he rose to his feet, taking Xiao Dao with him.
Turning the tables, he pinned Xiao Dao down, his elbows smashing into Xiao Dao's chest.
At the same time, Feng Yang's legs were not idle, as he delivered knee strikes to Xiao Dao's thighs.
Crack.
The sound of several bones breaking echoed.
Xiao Dao's ribs and legs were all fractured.
Everything that had happened occurred in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Dao went from an absolute advantage to a disadvantage.
It took less than three seconds.
"You Dragon Group trash, you were right about using your brain in a fight, but strength is also very important."
"As for you, not only is your brain not working, but your strength is also pathetic."
After incapacitating Xiao Dao, Feng Yang threw all of Xiao Dao's earlier taunts back at him.
This instantly enraged Xiao Dao to the point of spitting blood, and he passed out.
The Patrol Division was truly cruel, attacking not only the body but also the spirit.
"The opponent is actually at the Geng stage! No wonder Xiao Dao lost," Qi Dalei's expression darkened.
The Geng stage was the last minor realm of the external body refinement stage.
Before Qi Dalei had taken the Great Returning Pill, he was also at this level.
It seemed that the Patrol Division's lineup this time was excessively powerful.
