Seeing their battle lines shattered and the casualty count continuously rising, Sun Tian's heart sank to rock bottom.

He couldn't sit still any longer.

"Peng Cang! Hei Ming!"

He roared at the two figures fighting valiantly in the center of the battlefield.

"Don't worry about anyone else!"

"Find a way to take care of that drum-beating woman first!"

Sun Tian knew very well that as soon as that woman's singing and drumming stopped, the Eternal Night Guild's crazed members would instantly return to normal.

At that point, the battle would still be under his control.

"Understood!"

Peng Cang bellowed, swinging his giant axe to force back the opponent in front of him.

He no longer lingered in combat; his massive body, like a rampaging tank, forcefully carved a path through the crowd, heading straight for Sona in the rear.

On the other side, Hei Ming's figure had already vanished, merging into the chaotic shadows of the battlefield.

However, just as Peng Cang was about to break through the encirclement, a figure like an iron tower stood in his way.

It was Xiang Yu.

He simply stood there, arms crossed over his chest, his ancient, unmoving eyes coldly watching the charging Peng Cang.

"Your opponent is me."

Xiang Yu's voice was deep and powerful.

"You're courting death!"

Peng Cang had no time for pleasantries with him; the giant axe in his hand stirred up a whirlwind, bringing with it the force to split mountains and crack stones, as it chopped down!

Facing this powerful strike, Xiang Yu didn't even bat an eyelid.

He simply raised one arm casually, using his forearm to forcefully block the descending giant axe.

"Clang—!"

A deafening metallic clang echoed across the battlefield.

Peng Cang felt a tingling numbness in the web of his hand, and the giant axe in his grip nearly flew out.

He widened his eyes, staring intently at the man before him.

How could this be?!

His full-power strike was actually blocked so easily with just an arm?

【-621】

A red damage number slowly floated above Xiang Yu's head.

Peng Cang's eyes nearly popped out.

Only six hundred-plus damage?

What a joke!

One must know that he was the top combatant in the Tianyu Guild, second only to Li Qiu and Luo Ming in strength.

In the entire Donghai City, only a handful of people could withstand his axe.

Even a Shield Warrior of the same level, taking this move head-on, would lose at least a thousand health.

But this burly man before him...

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

Peng Cang's voice trembled slightly with shock.

Just as he was entangled with Xiang Yu, a pitch-black shadow had silently circled behind Sona.

Hei Ming's figure emerged from the shadows like a ghost.

The dagger in his hand gleamed with a poisoned light, and without the slightest hesitation, it swiftly and cleanly stabbed towards Sona's fair, slender neck!

"Pfft!"

The dagger pierced flesh.

【-3891】

A huge damage number appeared above Sona's head.

However, the smug look on Hei Ming's face lasted for only a tenth of a second before completely freezing.

What did he see?

That woman's health bar... was completely unmoved?!

She didn't even turn her head, still engrossed in drumming, her high-pitched singing showing no signs of stopping.

Hei Ming was stunned.

He had lived for over thirty years and had never witnessed such a bizarre scene.

This was illogical!

This simply did not conform to the basic settings of a professional!

Just as he was momentarily dazed, Xiang Yu, who was grappling with Peng Cang, suddenly turned his head coldly and glanced at him.

"Overlord's Taunt!"

Hei Ming felt an irresistible will instantly seize his Soul.

The dagger in his hand uncontrollably left Sona's body and instead thrust towards Xiang Yu's back.

"Clang!"

Another crisp sound.

Hei Ming was thrown back by the immense recoil, his face filled with horror.

Xiang Yu slowly turned around, meeting Peng Cang and Hei Ming's attacks simultaneously, one on each side.

Fighting one against two, he showed no signs of being at a disadvantage.

At the rear of the battlefield, Sun Tian's expression grew increasingly grim as he watched this scene.

With the drumming continuing, their casualties were mounting.

The Tianyu Guild... was on the verge of defeat.

Just as he began to contemplate retreating, a clear voice, like a thunderclap from Nine Heavens, suddenly rang out above everyone's heads.

"Everyone, stop!"

As this voice fell, the wild drumming and passionate singing instantly ceased.

All members of the Eternal Night Guild, who were fighting valiantly, seemed to receive a command; they immediately put away their weapons and stopped all offensive actions.

They uniformly turned around and knelt on one knee, facing the sky.

Their faces were filled with immense respect and fanaticism.

"Welcome, Lord!"

A chorus of uniform shouts echoed through the sky.

Lord?

The surviving members of the Tianyu Guild, one by one, raised their blood-stained faces, staring blankly at the sky.

The next second, all their pupils suddenly constricted to pinprick size.

They saw a figure clad in a black trench coat, with a pair of huge wind wings unfurled, slowly descending from the air. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

What frightened them even more was that the man was carrying a scorched, dog-like figure in his hand.

"Li... Lord Li Qiu?!"

Someone let out an incredulous cry.

"That person... is Lord Li Qiu?!"

"He... he was actually defeated?!"

Everyone in the Tianyu Guild was completely stunned.

They gaped, their faces filled with incomprehensible shock.

How could this be?

Lord Li Qiu was the strongest professional in Donghai City, universally acknowledged!

...

In the distance, the onlookers instantly erupted into a frenzy.

"Damn it! Did I see that right? The person that man is carrying... is Li Qiu?!"

"Li Qiu actually lost? From the looks of it, he was completely crushed?!"

"My goodness! When did such a formidable person appear in our Donghai City?!"

"It's over... I feel like Donghai City is about to change!"

"I never thought this Eternal Night Guild would be so strong! Not only can they crush Tianyu in a guild war, but even Li Qiu is not their opponent!"

...

Looking at the figure descending from the sky and the half-dead Li Qiu in his hand, Sun Tian's suspended heart completely died.

He really couldn't understand where this Eternal Night Guild had come from.

In just a few months, it had grown to such a terrifying extent.

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, landed steadily in the center of the battlefield.

He casually tossed the dying Li Qiu into the pile of Tianyu Guild members.

Several healing professionals rushed forward, frantically beginning to administer aid.

Yasuo's gaze calmly fell on Sun Tian's face.

"Chairman Sun, I apologize."

"Our Eternal Night Guild has no intention of being your enemy."

Zhou Huai actually didn't have much ill will towards the Tianyu Guild.

When the beast tide attacked, it was the Tianyu Guild members who rushed to the front lines.

Peng Cang and Hei Ming even bought time for Gandalf with their lives.

As for the grievances between him and Li Qiu, they weren't deep-seated hatred.

When the Radiant Alliance issued the bounty, he was destined to be everyone's target.

Even if it wasn't Li Qiu who came, it would have been someone else.

He just took this opportunity to escape.

Today's battle, besides getting even, the main purpose was to complete the System's class advancement challenge.

Now the mission was complete.

The grievances were also settled.

Zhou Huai looked at Sun Tian's fluctuating expression and continued, "Chairman Sun, you've already seen the strength of our Eternal Night Guild."

"If you still want to continue fighting, the consequences might be unbearable for you."

"How about we end it here today?"

"My grievances with Li Qiu are settled, and we, Eternal Night, will no longer trouble your Tianyu."

"Perhaps in the future, we might even have opportunities for cooperation."

Sun Tian's ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) face was grim, and he remained silent for a long time.

He looked up, staring intently at Yasuo.

"What about Luo Ming?"

Zhou Huai's answer was straightforward.

"Luo Ming is not an option."

"I still have many things to ask him."

"As for whether he can survive, that remains to be seen."

Sun Tian's eyes grew even colder.

"I advise you not to kill him."

"Otherwise, you might have big trouble."

After speaking, he said no more, turned, and leaped onto his land Dragon beast.

"Let's go!"

The remaining members of the Tianyu Guild, as if granted a great pardon, helped the wounded and began to retreat in disarray.

Watching their hurried departure, the members of the Eternal Night Guild could no longer suppress their excitement and erupted in thunderous cheers.

Some even wept with joy, howling at the sky, releasing all the emotions that had accumulated during this time.

Once upon a time, they were just unattached professionals struggling at the lowest level.

Looked down upon by countless people, enduring countless sneers and humiliations.

They didn't even qualify to join a small guild.

And now, they had actually defeated the strongest Tianyu Guild in Donghai City head-on!

This feeling was unprecedented.

This was how they dreamed of being after becoming professionals!

And all of this was bestowed by their Lord!

At this moment, all members of the Eternal Night Guild uniformly knelt once more.

Their eyes burned with unprecedented fanaticism and reverence.

"We, your humble servants, are willing to give our lives for our Lord!"

"We will not flinch from death!"

Shouts like a mountain's roar and a sea's surge echoed through the rainy night, lingering for a long time.

After this night, the Eternal Night Guild became famous in one battle.

Its name was thoroughly established throughout Donghai City.
