Chapter 88 Attack
The rain subsided.
Yang Silang and Hu Feng braved the rain to continue their journey.
Even though he knew there should be his teammates nearby in the mountains, the dense forests blocked out sight and sound, and he couldn't detect any trace of anyone else.
Moreover, it was summer, and the forests in the mountains were growing wildly, with vines spreading and greenery covering the entire hillside. As a result, even the government abandoned the use of eagles for surveillance; otherwise, they would have found the two thieves' hiding place long ago.
The two walked with their nerves on edge, but gained nothing. Maintaining a state of high alert throughout the journey greatly depleted their mental and physical strength, making it even more tiring than running at high speed on flat ground.
Both of them were martial artists, and they knew that if this continued, their condition would be affected even before they encountered any enemies.
Hu Feng couldn't help but speak first, trying to ease the tense atmosphere—the same thing had happened with the previous eight-person team.
At first, he only wanted to say a few simple words, but later, probably because Coach Qi wasn't present, he couldn't stop talking.
He went on and on about how his widowed mother had raised him with great difficulty, how hard it was to learn martial arts, how it had exhausted the family's wealth, how he had finally passed the imperial examination and his family's situation had improved, and how he had recently gotten engaged.
After this mission is completed, he will get married. He also said that he has invited his close friend Brother Di, who is also a fellow candidate in the imperial examination, to be the best man at the wedding. He also warmly invited Yang Silang to attend the wedding banquet.
Yang Silang nodded and smiled in agreement, but his mind remained focused.
If this Brother Hu could put half the energy he uses for talking into practicing martial arts, he might improve even faster.
After spending a few days together, he knew that this person of the same age wasn't a bad person, just a bit talkative, the kind who would talk in his sleep and wouldn't rest.
Sudden.
The two men tensed up and looked up at the sky together.
boom!
In the gloomy sky, not far ahead, a plume of fire shot into the sky and suddenly exploded.
The fireworks weren't particularly bright or vivid during the day, but anyone who wasn't blind could see them.
"not good!"
The two men's expressions changed drastically.
This was because the fireworks were blooming right in front of the two of them, on the hill above, very close to them, only a few feet away!
at the same time.
A crackling sound came from ahead.
Suddenly, two figures emerged from the woods, dressed in blood-stained prison uniforms and with disheveled beards and hair. One of them was tall but had a ferocious expression; the other had a square face and, despite being dressed in prison uniforms, still exuded the air of an arrogant official he once had!
Yang Silang's eyes widened suddenly.
"Boom! Chai Qing!"
As it hurtled forward, its arms swung, causing the iron chains above to clang. The chains were stained with red and white blood and brain matter, which dripped onto the grass on the ground.
The former deputy general, Chai Qing, was even more terrifying. He was holding a head with its eyes wide open in his hand, along with a section of vertebrae, which looked like it had been forcibly pulled off the neck!
"Brother Di..."
Hu Feng cried out in despair. Wasn't the person Chai Qing was carrying his good friend, Brother Di?
This guy definitely won't be a groomsman anymore, because his head's been ripped off!
Yang Silang's eyes narrowed—oh no, Brother Di and Tong Baisui are a pair, which means Tong Baisui is probably in grave danger.
When Hong Tatian and Chai Qing saw Yang and Hu, they were not surprised. They exchanged a glance, their minds in perfect harmony.
"Don't let them set off fireworks!"
One for each person!
Chai Qing threw the head of Di Wuju in his hand forward as a hidden weapon at Hu Feng, while Hong Tatian turned around and ran towards Yang Silang, twisting his wrist to wrap the two iron chains around his wrist and smashing them down like an iron whip!
Meanwhile, Hu Feng, in the midst of his grief, suddenly saw his friend's head smashing towards him, and instinctively reached out to catch it!
Seeing the devastating attack coming, Yang Silang forced himself to calm down, suppressing his chaotic thoughts. He flicked his spear, sending it swinging outwards in a horizontal motion—every inch longer, every inch stronger!
He knew that his power to unleash his qi and blood was not weak, but his skill in technique was far inferior to that of the Steel-Dirty Grandmaster, so he deliberately chose this long weapon.
The carbine is longer than a regular weapon but shorter than a rifle, making it ideal for use in forests.
clang!
The spearhead clashed with the iron chain, sparks flying!
The iron chain was swung high into the air with a deafening roar, halting its forward momentum and dodging the spearhead in front of it. Its indomitable spirit was shattered, as if it was surprised by the opponent's immense strength.
Yang Silang managed to steal a glance to the side and discovered that Hu Feng was not wielding his Guan Dao, but rather making a gesture as if to catch his friend's head.
"don't want……"
He was so angry that his eyes widened and he shouted at the top of his lungs!
With a formidable enemy at our side, one wrong move can lead to a series of mistakes. If we don't quickly grip our weapons and defend and counterattack, any extra step we take will be suicidal!
Moreover, now that Hu Feng is dead, all he has left is to escape!
Hu Feng was startled awake by the shout and realized he had committed a grave offense. He hurriedly stepped back and let his friend's head fly past him and hit somewhere unknown. At the same time, he kicked the hilt of the sword and swung the long guandao sword up, as if to chop it down!
However, it was too late!
Chai Qing is not only a master of steel-dirty martial arts, but also a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years. He is best at chaotic battles and his combat acumen far surpasses that of ordinary people!
As he rushed out, he noticed that the scholar with the knife was staring at the head in his hand, his expression twisted, confused and panicked. He had even deliberately chosen which head to throw, because the other scholar with the gun had not been disturbed!
Seeing that the opponent's long sword was about to be fully drawn, but instead revealed an opening in the middle, he suddenly shrank his huge body into a dwarf, passing through Hu Feng's incomplete sword stance and crashing into Hu Feng.
boom!
Hu Feng was knocked back more than half a zhang by the attack, his feet plowing a deep trench in the ground. He coughed up blood, and his Guan Dao was knocked away by Chai Qing's palm.
In desperation, Hu Feng unleashed his fists and feet, exchanging blows with Chai Qing!
Yang Silang was anxious and wanted to go over to help, but when the Thunderclap Twin Chains were wielded and a set of whip techniques were used, he knew that Yang Silang was strong, so he did not confront him head-on. Instead, he used the technique of using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds, and used the pulling and shifting techniques to temporarily entangle him.
the other side.
Boom boom boom!
Chai Qing and Hu Feng have already exchanged more than ten blows in a head-on clash without any fancy moves!
The former deputy general was like a fierce tiger, using the Great Five Combinations Fist of the Taizu Long Fist Steel Dirty Realm. It was as if countless arms had grown from his body, and each punch had the meaning of splitting, collapsing, drilling, and horizontal striking!
If it were any other time, Yang Silang would have been completely mesmerized. This all-out, life-or-death struggle showcased the Five Harmonies Fist to its fullest extent. Instructor Qi had only ever taught before, and could never have displayed such true meaning in life and death. He was far inferior!
But now, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the profound meaning of the Five Combinations Fist, and he almost suffocated, his whole body freezing!
Hu Feng was defeated and killed in just a few moves!
Sure enough, after a few moves, Chai Qing laughed and struck Hu Feng in the chest with his palm!
boom!
Hu Feng was originally wearing a standard-issue iron armor of a colonel, which was of excellent quality.
However, at this moment, the armor's breastplate was shattered by Chai Qing's palm strike, along with the inner leather lining and the entire garment.
His chest was exposed, and when the palm strike shattered it, only a small hole was torn open, from which a shallow bloodstain flowed out. But his back exploded open with a huge hole, and shattered armor plates flew everywhere. A section of his vertebra was even ejected. It was the triple killing force of the Great Five Combinations Fist!
Chai Qing then used his palm as a knife to slash across the neck!
A shower of blood shot into the sky.
Hu Feng's head was already in Chai Qing's hands, and the headless corpse fell heavily to the ground.
