Chapter 1197: Chapter 693: One More Battle Awaits

In the old era of the Knights, Knights were the pinnacle of individual combat.

Uncle Li Dong had once sparred with the Shadow. Even when the Shadow, also a demigod, cast a time domain, Uncle Li Dong could easily break free with his powerful Life Field.

When fighting with the Chen Clan’s last demigod, Chen Chuanzhi, not even the divine beings depicted in paintings could touch the hem of Uncle Li Dong’s clothes, and it took a formation of myriad Buddhas to block the Knight Leader—and even then, they failed to stop him.

When the founder Ren He traveled through Europe, the great wizard Russell couldn’t even finish reciting a spell before Ren He overwhelmed him with speed; the spell never got completed.

Ultimately, this forced the wizard group led by Russell to retreat and train in silent, rapid spell-casting, which they still haven’t mastered...

The same could be said for Jindai and the Fire Pit, as everyone has been defeated before.

The Knights were a peculiar legacy organization: they had no allegiance to any power, no conflicts of interest with major consortia, and yet inspired a shared sense of sympathy among the world’s demigods.

They were all seen as little brothers.

However, the problem was that Knights only had individual combat prowess, so when facing an army division, they would likely be overwhelmed by sheer numbers as no one had much capability in group combat.

Conversely, other legacies that achieved demigod status had substantial combat strategies.

Chen Clan: The artist legacy, demigods wield myriad gods, with nearly a century of accumulated power, one alone could match a million troops.

Hu’s Information Agency: Sword-wielding legacy, demigods wield the 24 Jade Heart Swords, executing justice at noon across the world.

Li Family: Star-seizing legacy, demigods are banished immortals capable of plucking stars, submerging ten miles of land with a mere gesture.

Qing’s Family: Martial arts legacy, demigods transcend through martial arts, each move swaying the will of the heavens, shaking a hundred meters of space with a punch.

Fire Pit: God-bestowed power, demigods have totemic forces, able to cleave mountains and cut through armies with a single blade.

Observer: Wizard legacy, demigods wield the Eye of Truth, capable of freezing ten miles and summoning meteors.

Jindai: Onmyoji legacy, demigods control 12 shikigami to massacre regular armies. Qieshe Yumian legacy is strong, yet lacks a straightforward path to demigod status, relying solely on luck.

Even a weaker one like Li Bingxi from Deer Island could split into 48 A-Class avatars to decimate the battlefield.

These legacies, although varied in strength, could all fearlessly engage in battles against small-scale regular armies once reaching demigod status, at least saving them from slowly killing one by one.

Thus, the Knights, lacking numerical advantage, always faced a fatal shortcoming in group combat.

This is why the Knight Organization has gradually faded from the stage of history.

Until the emergence of Qing Chen.

Starting with Li Ke and Hu Xiaoniu, followed by Jinguji Maki and the Academy challengers, and now with the arrival of Zhang Mengchan.

In just a few months, Knights emerged like mushrooms after the rain.

Among them were several career-switching Knights and over a hundred Couriers.

Strictly speaking, Heng Society was the last generation’s Courier organization of the Knights, while the Parents’ Meeting, Freemasonry, and Shadow Troop, and so on, are the current generation’s Courier organizations.

Vast in number.

However, the transformation Qing Chen brought to the Knight Organization was not merely in terms of numbers.

Back then, the cloud gas he exhaled like stars across Mount Okuhotaka ushered in the era of group attacks for Knights.

The First Breathing Technique of Quanyin compresses Knight Vital Energy, inducing a qualitative transformation, allowing Uncle Li Dong to now possess a terrifying power.

A million rat swarm killed with just one breath of cloud gas—what a terrifying technique.

This era is destined to belong to the Knights, though they still need a bit more time for the young Knights to fully mature.

By then, with one breath of cloud gas each, perhaps Jindai will be no more.

Of course, that’s the most ideal scenario.

At this moment, the greatest crisis of defense line three was averted; the million-strong rat swarm blown away with a single breath, and all the refugees looked up at Uncle Li Dong as if they were seeing an Immortal.

This move by Uncle Li Dong was a masterstroke in boosting morale.

Moreover, Uncle Li Dong did not leave; he continued to stand on that building, using the Autumn Leaf Knife to disperse the scattered rat swarm, blocking their path as if halting the flow of a river.

With the endless rat swarm gone, the pressure on the defense line immediately eased!

Xiao San and others cheered excitedly from the defense line, "Did you see that? That’s our Master’s master! He came to save us!"

"Demigod Uncle Li Dong, he’s the Grand Tutor of our Parents’ Meeting!"

Beaming with pride as they slaughtered rats, the family members boasted to the refugees nearby, their injuries seeming not to hurt, leaving the refugees bewildered.

They hadn’t quite grasped what had happened, but they witnessed the elegance of a demigod firsthand!

To be precise, this was the first time Uncle Li Dong exhibited his cloud gas power, performing before nearly a million people.

He stood on that tall building where everyone could see him, creating a miraculous spectacle.

And the bare steel structure of the building constantly reminded everyone of what had just occurred.

A refugee suddenly asked, "Is your Parents’ Meeting still accepting members?"

"Yes, definitely," a family member replied reservedly, "but to join the Parents’ Meeting, you’ll need to pass a review. After expressing interest, the organization will observe you for three months, then you write a membership application, after which the organization will accept you as a provisional family member for another three months. If you perform well, you’ll become an official white-level family member."

This is a recent policy set by Luo Wanya to maintain the purity of the team, providing at least a threshold.

The Parents’ Meeting is no longer somewhere anyone can join at will.
