The soldiers of the Black Cavalry and Red Cavalry are increasingly involved in the siege battle against the Blood Qilin.
Although the Vanguard Team is the main force, other soldiers gradually played a coordinating role, and the entire battle team has once again become a united front.
The overall commander is still Leng Zhe, but the soul of this team has now changed to another person.
Xiu Haofeng did not re-engage in the battle because he knew that the outcome was already decided, and whether or not he participated in the war was no longer important.
Watching from the sidelines at the fiercest part of the battlefield, not personally participating, yet still being regarded as the pillar of the entire team, Xiu Haofeng's expression was extremely complex.
"Where exactly did Ji Nanhong find such a person?" Xiu Haofeng sighed: "Why wasn't it me who found him?"
Despite his sighs, Xiu Haofeng could not just admit defeat; this was related to his own position and future, as well as the future development of the Xiu Family. No matter what happened, he could not give up.
Quietly coming next to Bu Changning, Xiu Haofeng whispered to him: "Find a suitable position, and wait for my command. When the Blood Qilin can't hold on anymore, control Chen Guan."
Right now, Chen Guan and his Vanguard Team are facing the main force of the Blood Qilin's power directly. To seize the final victory, they could only use a surprise strategy, gambling on that slim chance.
Bu Changning said with a bitter face, "Commander, it was so dangerous just now that I thought there was no hope today, so I used a Secret Skill to cover your retreat. Although due to the high level of the Blood Qilin, my Secret Skill didn't have much effect, since I've used it, I can't use it again in the short term."
Hearing this, Xiu Haofeng suddenly felt extremely frustrated, wondering how things could have coincidentally turned out this way.
"The outcome is already decided." Bai Yueguang turned and left, her last hope gone. In the future, she and the brothers from the Guard Army who came along would only have to watch the faces of others, and that person was just a Cultivator who had just entered the Second Awakening.
Even if that person was the daughter of Commander Ji, she didn't think it was a glorious thing.
"Chen Guan, huh?" Bai Yuechang's mind flashed with that figure, while another thought came to her mind: "Being able to become a comrade in arms with such a person isn't really a disgrace to the Guard Army's reputation."
Zhang Yujian looked at the battlefield, appearing thoughtful, while Zhu Hongzhi seemed to be in a better mood than before.
Originally, he thought that the brothers of the Black Tiger Corps being put into a newly formed corps was a betrayal and abandonment.
But after seeing this battle with Chen Guan and the Vanguard Team, Zhu Hongzhi now felt that perhaps this was the beginning of the Black Tiger Corps' rebirth.
Although the name of the Black Tiger Corps had been sealed, their spirit remained, and this team and this person before him perfectly aligned with the Black Tiger Corps' beliefs.
Lin Yushen watched Chen Guan on the battlefield, as steady as a mountain, casually commanding, feeling a mix of emotions: "It seems Miss Ji hit the jackpot, and who ultimately controls the Celestial Court Army is not easy to say."
As the Blood Qilin had its final outburst, it ultimately couldn't recover, unable to kill all these human and Secret Spirit Pets like an ant swarm before its eyes.
As powerful as the Blood Qilin was, it couldn't withstand the army's siege.
However, the Vanguard Team couldn't personally slay it; the Mutated Demon Blood Qilin, after its rampage ended, just stood there and died, the blood flames on its body disappeared, its blood-colored scales quickly lost their color, turning gray, like a cast iron statue.
Everyone cheered, and amid their cheers, the body of the Mutated Demon Blood Qilin suddenly disintegrated, transforming into countless particles, traversing the sky like a galaxy, flying towards Chen Guan.
"Petification!" Everyone watched Chen Guan standing atop the Qilin's head, bathed in the meteor shower.
In this entire beheading operation, the only one who truly harmed the Blood Qilin was indeed Chen Guan, and no one else even broke through its defenses.
In this battle, Chen Guan and the Vanguard Team became legendary, and to set a benchmark, Ji Nanhong later officially named this Vanguard Team the Blood Qilin Vanguard Camp, becoming a trump card unit of the Qilin Corps.
All of these are matters of the future; the Battle of Qilin Mountain is not yet over.
Though Xiu Haofeng also knew he was defeated, he couldn't admit it. If he gave up, truly no one could help him.
"Commander Lin, the Blood Qilin died from its own rampage, not being slain, so there's no true victor between the Black Cavalry and Red Cavalry in this beheading operation," Xiu Haofeng stiffly said to the arriving Lin Yushen.
"Xiu Haofeng, do you have any shame left? Don't you know who turned the tide and held off the Blood Qilin?" Duan Shulin passionately retorted immediately.
"It's very clear from the Petification of the Blood Qilin. Are you blind?" Ximen Ding followed up actively.
"What you said isn't wrong, but the fact is that no one killed the Blood Qilin. It died from a rampage; this point you can't deny, right?" Xiu Haofeng's expression didn't change, seeming as though he hadn't heard the passionate arguments.
Everyone turned their eyes to Lin Yushen. Lin Yushen lightly coughed and said: "In this battle, the Black Cavalry indeed turned the tide and should be credited first."
Before the Black Cavalry's side could rejoice, Lin Yushen continued: "However, the fact is the Blood Qilin died from a rampage. What is everyone's opinion on how this should be accounted?"
He spoke much but essentially said nothing; Lin Yushen trying not to offend either side.
"The two cavalry should fight another day." Xiu Haofeng gritted his teeth and said.
"Why fight another day?" Duan Shulin was the first to disagree.
Several other officers of the Black Cavalry didn't oppose another day of battle because they believed with Chen Guan and the Vanguard Team, no matter how many times they fought again, Xiu Haofeng and the Red Cavalry wouldn't win.
But Duan Shulin, being a businessman, didn't think this way; a deal before it's completed has all sorts of possibilities and variables.
"If not, then the mission will just be a draw, neither side killed the Blood Qilin, so the mission is a failure." Xiu Haofeng said calmly, at this point, he couldn't care about pride.
For a moment, everyone argued but couldn't reach any conclusion.
"We can fight again but not another day — right here and now, a Battle Array showdown to settle the victor," Chen Guan looked at Xiu Haofeng and said mildly.
"That's fine, but you and your Vanguard Team can't participate," Xiu Haofeng responded.
"Why?" An Yiqi glared and asked.
"In the previous battle, our Red Cavalry suffered heavy losses, allowing them to participate wouldn't be fair to us," Xiu Haofeng said through gritted teeth.
"Xiu Haofeng, have you no shame? Earlier, the Black Cavalry was the main force against the Blood Qilin," Duan Shulin mocked.
"That's how it's going to be if there's to be a battle. If not, then both missions fail," Xiu Haofeng was adamant.
"Fine, neither I nor the Vanguard Team will participate," Chen Guan directly agreed.
