After the Sharp Edge Squad ran into trouble and its former captain Wang Feng died, Wei Cangyue, this troublemaker, actually took on the heavy responsibility alone, sacrificing his own interests and focusing all his attention on managing the squad.
It was precisely for this reason that Wei Cangyue's strength stagnated, giving him plenty of time to catch up.
finally!
He caught up a year ago!
"Wrong, wrong, wrong."
Wei Cangyue extended his middle finger and waved it at Wei Tingshan, his tone and actions full of provocation.
"Fight me, and I'll show you that even though we're both Fifth Rank, our strengths are worlds apart."
Wei Tingshan's face grew even uglier, his anger reaching its peak, and he gradually began to lose his reason.
As the squad leader, I shouldn't have been so easily provoked.
This was mainly because Wei Tingshan had suffered too many setbacks at the hands of Wei Cangyue, which led to his gradual loss of control over his emotions.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to see what I'm made of today."
Just as he said, as fellow High-Stage Fifth Rank fighters, he refused to believe that he could be utterly humiliated by Wei Cangyue as before.
Now, he might be able to fight Wei Cangyue to a standstill.
With a bit more luck, we might be able to defeat Wei Cangyue.
The more Wei Tingshan thought about it, the more excited he became, so excited that he forgot the times he had been tortured by Wei Cangyue.
As he thought about it, an image of Wei Cangyue being beaten like a dog, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and wagging his tail appeared in his mind.
Hahaha--
The little devil in my heart is laughing wildly.
Wei Tingshan raised his weapon and unleashed his strongest attack, heading straight for Wei Cangyue.
However, after just one round, Wei Tingshan knelt on the ground, with traces of crimson blood spilling from his mouth.
"How... how could this be...?"
Wei Tingshan stared wide-eyed at Wei Cangyue, who was standing with his back to him, in disbelief.
That's right.
After Wei Cangyue made his move, he didn't look back at his opponent even once.
This action made Wei Tingshan feel humiliated like never before.
"Pfft--" A mouthful of blood spurted out.
" Captain Wei!"
The members of the Edge-Breaking Squad rushed over and, after feeding Wei Tingshan a Body Restoration Pill, hurriedly helped him up.
That's amazing!
Jiang Fan silently exclaimed in his heart.
In fact, he had seen Wei Cangyue kill such a monster before and knew how powerful Wei Cangyue was, but he had never seen him spar with someone of the same level.
Wei Cangyue, who was also High-Stage Fifth Rank cultivator but not Spirit Master, defeated his opponent with a single move without relying on any external force. Moreover, his opponent was the captain of the Divine Wind Squad.
To become the captain of the Divine Wind Squad, one must be an elite among those of the same rank. Yet Wei Cangyue won with ease. Such strength is undoubtedly extremely formidable!
"Are you alright, Captain Wei?"
The teammates bombarded him with questions, and A San's expression as he looked at Wei Cangyue was quite complicated.
The reason he joined the increasingly declining Sharp Edge Squad was simply because he had high hopes for Wei Cangyue and believed that with Wei's strength, he would one day lead them to a higher level.
Unexpectedly, Wei Cangyue decisively abandoned him for a novice.
Now that he has defeated the captain of the squad he just joined with another move, how could his feelings not be complicated?
Fortunately, the Sharp Edge Squad is definitely not going to complete this month's mission anyway, and since they're going to disband anyway, there's nothing to regret.
After thinking this through, the complex expression on A San's face vanished instantly.
"I don't need your help!"
Wei Tingshan pushed his teammate away, his face turning purple, and gritted his teeth, saying:
" Wei Cangyue! You won't be arrogant for long. I'm waiting to see you fail the mission and have your team disbanded!"
He finished speaking and gave a heavy snort.
"Let's go!"
The members of the Edge-Breaking Squad revealed fierce looks as they met the gazes of every member of the Sharp Edge Squad.
He even deliberately bumped into their shoulder in a provocative manner as he passed by them.
"You did that on purpose!"
"That's right, I did it on purpose, so what! You want to attack me?"
"Let's fight then, who's afraid of who?"
A San stood opposite Jiang Fan. Although he was more than a head shorter than Jiang Fan, he glared at Jiang Fan with a pair of provocative and resentful eyes, intending to give this newcomer a hard time.
"If you're going to fight, then fight. Stop talking nonsense."
As Jiang Fan spoke, he drew the large sword that was slung behind his back.
The broadsword was drawn, its blade gleaming coldly in the midday sun.
This "just say you'll do it" attitude clearly made A San pause for a moment.
While feeling a strong sense of familiarity, I mentally cursed it all.
Who are you trying to scare by wielding a big sword, you archer?
What if you were Wei Cangyue?
Wei Tingshan also noticed Jiang Fan. He had heard A San mention him before and knew that A San had left the Sharp Edge Squad because of this kid.
"I say, Wei Cangyue, not only is your strength advancing slowly, but your judgment of people has also plummeted. You actually abandoned an archer like A San for such a greenhorn. But I do thank you, otherwise our Edge-Breaking Squad wouldn't have had the chance to recruit A San."
Wei Cangyue glanced indifferently at A San, "I, Wei Cangyue, will never abandon any teammate, just like Captain Wang in the past. If it weren't for saving his teammates, he could have escaped with his strength."
He didn't abandon his teammates that day, and I never will in my life!
"That sounds nice, but didn't A San leave your Sharp Edge Squad because of this kid?" Wei Tingshan said.
"That's his own choice! It has nothing to do with me. Am I supposed to kick someone out of the team just because he's jealous of them?"
Wei Cangyue's words undoubtedly tore away the last fig leaf covering up the A San.
Actually, he didn't intend to Guoguo discuss this matter, after all, they were teammates who had spent some time together and gone through life and death together.
But A San went too far. Knowing full well that the Edge-Breaking Squad was their mortal enemy, he still joined the Sharp Edge Squad.
Since he chose to join the enemy, there's no room for sentimentality left.
At this moment, the A San's face was a mixture of blue and purple, and his anger far outweighed his shame.
" A San, I considered you a brother, but you—you've disappointed me so much!" Bu Yingjun said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists tightly.
Within the Sharp Edge Squad, Bu Yingjun and A San had the best relationship. In almost every battle, Bu Yingjun was responsible for protecting A San, who was an archer.
Moreover, they also have a close personal relationship in their daily lives.
"You have no right to talk to me like that!" A San roared. "I disappointed you? You're the one who disappointed me! You kept saying you treated me like a brother, but when this kid came, you didn't even help me resist him. You just watched me leave. And you still have the nerve to call me a brother!"
