Bang! Bang! Bang!

Stab!

Ga-Mu-Chen's weapon cut Yan-Yu's arm causing blood to run through…

"Argh! Darn it!" Yan-Yu exclaimed while covering his arm before taking out a second-rank physical healing pill and tossing it in his mouth…

Whoosh!

The pill dissolved the minute it got into Yan-Yu's mouth. Not long after that, Yan-Yu's wound on his arm disappeared like nothing happened before…

"What was that pill!?" Ga-Mu-Chen who saw everything asked Yan-Yu with extreme wonder…

That was because he had never seen anything so magical like that pill before that could heal wounds instantaneously. So, Ga-Mu-Chen believed that the pill must be something magical…

Whoosh!

"The pill is really good! Hahaha!" Yan-Yu said while checking out his body with satisfaction that it healed so quickly because of the pill…

The troops of a hundred warriors and Fan-He's team also received the second-rank pills when they were first recruited into the clan. They were promised to get one more every time they managed to move up to the next level. Most of the warriors in the clan were at the first level of the Foundation Building stage when they were recruited…

The warriors had moved up to the third level of the Foundation Building stage now. So, it meant that they each had three pills with them. Fan-He and his team had got five…

"The pills that they gave us are really magical. I thought they were joking about its qualities." One of the warriors said while taking out a pill from his pocket and looking at the pill with great excitement…

"The pills can really save our lives. No matter how severe our wounds are, these pills can make them disappear." Another man said with excitement too about how wonderful the pills were…

"But even though the pills are magical, it's not easy for us to get them." One of the female warriors gave a remark while exhaling…

When the rest of the group heard that, they started to feel sad because they had to break through to the next energy level to get one. And it was extremely difficult for them to move up to the next level, which meant that it was difficult for them to get each pill…

Some of the warriors had a hard time taking each pill because of that reason. However, it was better for them to take the pills before they never had the chance to take any. It was quite too bad. Some other warriors thought about selling the pills, but the rule said they must not do so. As a result, none of them dared to sell the pills…

The pills that the warriors received came with logos too. If they sold the pills, they would be caught instantly. But if they tried to erase the logos, the effects of the pills would be reduced too…

"Alright! Let's continue!" When Yan-Yu was healed, he urged Ga-Mu-Chen to get back to the fight…

"Tsk! I don't care if your wound could heal so fast. Your energy level is only at the Foundation Building stage! You can't beat me!" Ga-Mu-Chen said with confidence because he had been observing Yan-Yu for a while now…

So, he knew that Yan-Yu had used every drop of his energy to fight with him. He also knew Yan-Yu's energy level. That was the reason why he was sure that he could beat Yan-Yu…

*The guy is true. I'm a step below him. But for some reason, after taking the pill, it's like my energy is improved.*

Yan-Yu thought about his energy level and Ga-Mu-Chen's in his mind. He was now at the peak of the ninth level of the Foundation Building stage. Just a little bit of work, he would be able to break through to the Golden Core stage…

"So what if my energy level is lower than yours? If you think you could kill me, then do it!" Yan-Yu said while soaring toward Ga-Mu-Chen with his sword again…

"Yah!"

[The Sword of the Wind technique; The Light Wind Wave skill]

Boom!

The first stage of the Sword of the Wind technique created a small wind wave full of Qi energy. So, the wind that moved toward Ga-Mu-Chen turned into sharp blades…

"The mid-level fighting technique!?" Ga-Mu-Chen was shocked to see Yan-Yu's fighting skill. He did not expect this because all along, Yan-Yu used only lower-level fighting techniques with him. When he could get back to himself, he used his hands to ward off the blades…

[The Earthy Halberd technique; the Earth Penetrating Halberd]

Boom!

The forces from the two techniques from both sides clashed with each other, causing explosions all over the courtyard in front of the toll booth. The warriors and bandits nearby got blown away instantaneously…

Wheezing! Wheezing! Wheezing!

Yan-Yu and Ga-Mu-Chen gasped for air after performing their mid-level fighting skills. However, Yan-Yu, who possessed a lower energy level, got injured in his arm. It was covered all over by blood. Ga-Mu-Chen, on the other hand, did not get injured as much as Yan-Yu…

Even though both fighting techniques that they used were mid-level techniques, Yan-Yu's technique was more powerful. It was just that Yan-Yu's energy level was not high enough to make it more powerful. If he possessed the level of energy that Ga-Mu-Chen possessed, Ga-Mu-Chen would be severely injured…

"Your fighting technique was not bad at all. Can you tell me where you're from?" Ga-Mu-Chen, who was gasping for air a minute ago, started to get back to normal. So, he started to ask Yan-Yu a question…

"You're not so bad at all too. If I did not use the mid-level skill, I was probably dead by now." Yan-Yu responded to Ga-Mu-Chen with admiration. His attitude toward Ga-Mu-Chen had changed…

The fight between the warriors and bandits continued and it had been a whole day now. Ga-Mu-Chen was close to losing all of his men, while the Tian-Tang clan lost about 10 warriors in the ongoing fight. They both, however, had used all of their energy to fight each other…

Whoosh!

Even though Ga-Mu-Chen had been a bandit for his whole life, he seemed to have great integrity for his men. When he saw that his men started to get extremely exhausted, he said, "We're the two people left who still have the energy to continue the fight. Let's end this now between us and leave others alone! If you can kill me, please let my men go!" Ga-Mu-Chen said while turning to look at his men…

"Boss!"

As the bandits heard their boss ask for their lives, they started to cry with the utmost respect for him. Ga-Mu-Chen had always been there for them and treated them fairly…

"If you die, we wish to die with you, sir!" A middle-aged man said while pointing his weapon to the sky…

"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We wish to die with you, sir!" The rest of the bandits started to show their loyalty to Ga-Mu-Chen. Now they started to gain back their morale…

"Guys!"

Ga-Mu-Chen was tremendously moved by his men's loyalties. He was confident that he could beat Yan-Yu, but he was not sure if Yan-Yu would have any reinforcement or not. If that were the case, he would die anyway. But if he could get Yan-Yu to fight in a duel with him, there was a good chance that he and his men would live to tell the leader of the bandits…

Gallop! Gallop! Gallop!

But then, Ga-Mu-Chen heard the galloping sounds of a troop of a huge number of warriors toward his way. Then he saw a troop and a chubby warrior in thick armor standing in front of the troops…

"Ji-Zhung-Gong!?"

When Yan-Yu turned to look at the troops, he realized that it was Ji-Zhung-Gong who brought the troops to help him…

"You don't look good at all, beautiful boy!" Ji-Zhung-Gong said to Yan-Yu in a teasing manner…

"I still look good! And what do you mean by 'beautiful boy'!?" Yan-Yu asked Ji-Zhung-Gong frustratingly…

"Hahaha! Don't think too much, man! I was just teasing you. But you have to look at yourself. Do you need a hand!?" Ji-Zhung-Gong tried to change Yan-Yu's mood by changing the subject…

"Tsk!"

Ga-Mu-Chen and his men turned despair the minute they saw the troops. That was because the warriors in the reinforcement troops were at the third to the fifth levels of the Foundation Building stage. Besides, Ji-Zhung-Gong's energy level was not any lower than Yan-Yu at all…

Ga-Mu-Chen knew well that he could not beat Yan-Yu that easily, even though his energy level was higher than his. Now, seeing that the reinforcement was at Yan-Yu's level, Ga-Mu-Chen was completely in despair. He started to wish he had the reinforcement too…

"How did you get here?" Yan-Yu asked with confusion…

"Brother Tong ordered me to bring another hundred men to come to help you if you did not contact us back within one day," Ji-Zhung-Gong said with a smile…

"One day? But it isn't the time yet, why did you hurry here?" Yan-Yu replied, unsatisfied.

"Tsk! We couldn't wait for the day to pass to show up. Look at you and how you led the force! We've been here for a long while now and watched what happened." Ji-Zhung-Gong said firmly to Yan-Yu. He asked, "Do you wish to destroy the mission?" Then he stopped yelling at Yan-Yu…

"I…I…I…"

Yan-Yu did not dare to say anything further when he heard that. He was well aware that it was his fault to always use emotions rather than reasons. His pride always brought him trouble. He knew that he did not have much energy left to fight and he would be beaten by the end of the day, like what Ji-Zhung-Gong said…

"Just get it together, man! I'm here now. I want you to go get some rest and I'll take it from here." After Ji-Zhung-Gong finished the sentence, he jumped off his horse and soared toward Ga-Mu-Chen instantly…

"Yah!"
