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.
