Chapter 247

The King of Hundred Poisons nodded: "I think Li Yuanba must be dead, but they just won't believe it!"

"As for Li Cunxiao, he might not be dead, but being poisoned is certain!"

A group of people sneered coldly: "So what if they are poisoned? As long as they don't die, we have failed!"

Fan Zeng, however, shouted excitedly: "Even if they don't die, they should have no combat power now!"

He cried out.

Upon hearing these words, everyone was stunned!

Fan Zeng roared: "Send out the troops! Send them out immediately!"

"I have seen the poison of the King of Hundred Poisons. Just a tiny bit, and the horses would die instantly upon inhaling it!"

"Even if Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao are gods, once poisoned, even if they don't die, they must fall into a coma for a while!"

"With both Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao deeply poisoned and in a coma, this is the perfect opportunity for a counterattack!"

"What?"

"A counterattack?"

The moment the words left his mouth, everyone was stunned!

Everyone looked at Fan Zeng in disbelief: "You... are you crazy?"

"Or do you want to lead everyone to their deaths?"

"Old man Fan Zeng, what are you trying to do!"

A Xiongnu general, even more furious, drew his sword and charged straight at Fan Zeng!

Xiao Yaozi bowed before Chanyu Modu Chanyu Chanyu Modu and said: "We are in the swamp; relying on the terrain advantage, we can still fight Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao. But once we leave the swamp, where is our advantage?"

"Fan Zeng gives reckless advice. First, he made us not light fires to cook or set up camps for two months in the swamp, tormenting us! Now he gives reckless advice again, delusionally trying to lead us all to a dead end!"

"If you do not kill him, I, Xiao Yaozi, will leave immediately!"

"If Fan Zeng is not killed, the people of the Farming School will leave immediately too!"

"If Fan Zeng is not killed, the people of the Confucian School will leave immediately too!"

At that moment, countless people shouted!

Their hatred for Fan Zeng truly reached their very bones!

Furthermore, a large crowd surrounded Fan Zeng!

Even Xiang Yu was surrounded by many people!

Fan Zeng, furious, shouted: "I forbade you from lighting fires to cook and setting up camps; all of this was to lure Han Xin into the swamp and then kill him!"

Xiao Yaozi roared in anger: "And the result? The result was that we used thirty thousand lives to lure Han Xin here. What does that have to do with us not lighting fires to cook or setting up camps!"

Fan Zeng shouted in anger: "Do you think Han Xin is a fool?"

"If he was not certain we were here, he could only attack the surroundings to probe, forcing us to come out!"

"But once he confirmed we were here, what would he fight for?"

"He would surround the swamp with one hundred thousand men, drive away all livestock coming near, and then slowly shrink the encirclement to trap us to death here!"

"You stupid pig, how could you possibly understand all this?"

"Even if we used thirty thousand lives in the end to lure Han Xin here, it was because of the two months of ambush beforehand, making Han Xin believe we had ambushed thirty thousand men here!"

"Without the two months of ambush beforehand, how could Han Xin possibly be lured here by these thirty thousand men?"

"Do you really think he is as stupid a pig as you?"

Fan Zeng cursed furiously without stopping!

These words made Xiao Yaozi's face turn red and his neck bulge; finally, with a roar, he drew his sword and charged straight at Fan Zeng to kill him!

"No!"

Xiang Yu roared!

He tried to intervene immediately, but the distance was too great; he simply could not stop it!

Fan Zeng wanted to dodge, but how could a man with no strength to bind a chicken dodge Xiao Yaozi's sword?

Just as Fan Zeng seemed about to die, at the critical moment, a figure instantly appeared before Fan Zeng!

Then, with a bang, a fist smashed directly onto Xiao Yaozi's sword!

With this punch, Xiao Yaozi was actually sent flying backward in shock!

And looking at the newcomer again!

Everyone was stunned!

It was... it was actually Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu?

He... he actually has Wu Gong?

And... and he can send Xiao Yaozi flying with a single punch?

Remember, that was Xiao Yaozi!

The sect master of the Daoist Heavenly Sect!

His Wu Gong is simply impossibly high!

He is the man who could endure a strike of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from Qiao Feng and still not die!

The crowd was filled with boundless shock!

Chanyu Modu then bowed respectfully to Fan Zeng: "Mr., you say, what should we do now?"

Fan Zeng shouted excitedly: "The enemy currently has no Li Yuanba, no Li Cunxiao; their two top combat powers are gone. What are we afraid of?"

"Of course, we should fight our way out!"

"We still have over two hundred thousand men, and we have just as many experts. If we take the opportunity to attack Han Xin's army, isn't this a heavenly opportunity?"

He shouted loudly; at that moment, his eyes looked at the many experts, and then turned toward Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu!

And the moment those words left his lips, everyone was stunned!

Countless people thought it was madness!

Fan Zeng shouted angrily, "Opportunity knocks but once!"

"Quick! Counterattack! Although we are nearly a hundred li from them, our horses run fast; if we pursue, we will surely catch them!"

He shouted 0.........

But... no one spoke!

Everyone found it incredible!

Fan Zeng continued angrily, "If Li Cunxiao had not been poisoned, how could he have retreated while holding the advantage, given his fiery temper?"

"If Li Yuanba were alive and well, how could he fail to join forces with Li Cunxiao to charge in?"

"Li Cunxiao's defense is invincible under heaven; Li Yuanba's combat prowess is fierce and invincible under heaven. With the two of them joined, no matter how many experts there are, they won't be enough to kill!"

"You have such a heaven-sent opportunity to slay the enemy, yet you stand there dazed—what are you waiting for!"

Fan Zeng was truly on the verge of going mad with anxiety!

But... no one spoke!

Finally, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu spoke:

"If our judgment is wrong, and Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao are both unharmed..."

He was speaking, yet before he could finish, Fan Zeng interjected:

"If Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao are both unharmed, we will ride our swift horses and return to the swamp immediately!"

"This terrain is familiar to us; they dare not pursue us into it!"

"In this way, leave thirty thousand men behind, carrying poison, grappling hooks, and mechanical beasts, to set an ambush beside the swamp. Even if they pursue us in, we can guarantee absolute safety!"

He shouted once more.

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu slapped his thigh hard and said, "Go!"

The moment the order was given, all the soldiers who had not yet dispersed rushed out of Hulun Grassland.

All the experts from the Central Plains mustered immediately!

They exited the swamp once more!

The vast grassland, a sea of green!

Stretching as far as the eye could see!

Fifty li beyond the Hulun Grassland swamp!

Here stood the tents where Han Xin's army had camped to rest their horses!

It was also the encampment of a hundred thousand troops!

At this moment, military physicians were busy at work.
