Chapter 50: Taking Them Down in One Move

~8 min read 1,587 words

"What happened?"

Zhou Wei, who was just preparing to make a move, immediately looked toward the lackey who had come to report.

"Chief, a large group of government soldiers has broken through our stronghold gates and is currently charging toward us!"

"What!"

The various high-ranking members of Vajra Stronghold in the main hall were greatly shocked.

Afterward, they subconsciously looked in the direction where Zheng Jing was.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Zheng Jing was also completely baffled.

What is this situation?

How come I didn't know that my father had made arrangements so quickly?

"You surnamed Zheng, what the hell do you mean by this?"

The Third Chief pulled the long saber at his waist and glared at Zheng Jing.

They all knew that the Yizhou Prefecture looked upon their Vajra Stronghold with displeasure.

But at most, it was just a matter of saving face.

Yet now!

Well!

They aren't even pretending anymore; they've brought troops right to our doorstep!

"Everyone, this must surely be a misunderstanding!"

Zheng Jing hurriedly tried to explain, "Our Yizhou Prefecture has no intention of sending troops to wipe you out; this is definitely a misunderstanding!"

"Then what are these government soldiers that suddenly appeared? You tell me!"

The Third Chief brandished the large machete in his hand.

If Zheng Jing didn't give a reasonable explanation today, he would surely hack the other party to pieces.

"Everyone, why don't we go and see together? If it is indeed the troops of Yizhou, I will certainly order them to leave, and we won't take a single cent of the loot this time!"

Zhou Wei pondered for a moment and felt that what Zheng Jing said made sense: "Fine, brothers, grab your weapons and let's go over together to take a look!"

Everyone immediately took their weapons to go and check the situation.

At the same time, they also made Zheng Jing accompany them.

In a critical moment, they could still use him as a hostage.

"Brothers, kill! Leave none alive!"

Chu Feng swept away a large group of bandits charging up with a single thrust of his spear.

The two thousand soldiers who followed saw that their commander was so heroic.

They also followed suit, summoning fearless courage.

Naturally, they showed no mercy when killing the enemy.

Although these enemies were of the same origin as them—all people of Wei—they were a gang of bandits who robbed and plundered.

Therefore, none of the soldiers felt any psychological burden when killing them.

At the same time, Chu Feng also applied the military tactics and formations he had previously learned to his own troops.

The first to bear the brunt was the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qi Family Army.

Back then, the Qi Family Army had achieved outstanding battle results using the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Chu Feng naturally wanted to absorb and utilize it.

These two thousand soldiers were currently applying the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Qi Family Army.

Where had this gang of bandits ever seen such an exquisite formation?

Every bandit who charged up fell within the Mandarin Duck Formation.

Moreover, after fighting for so long, their own ranks had not suffered a single casualty.

Looking at the other side instead.

The dead bandits were already strewn across the field, with blood flowing like a river.

"Who are you, daring to offend my Vajra Stronghold!"

Zhou Wei and the others finally arrived at the scene.

When everyone saw the corpses covering the mountains and plains, they were all so furious they were hopping mad.

Where on earth did these government troops come from? Why were they trying to exterminate them?

"Could you be the chief of Vajra Stronghold?"

Chu Feng stood at the front of the troops, holding his large spear.

He swept a glance at Zhou Wei.

He discovered that the other party's strength was at the Innate Initial Stage.

It was just that the aura the other party revealed was somewhat different; it seemed the cultivation technique they practiced was a bit unusual.

"That's right, I am the chief of this Vajra Stronghold. Who are you? Why are you invading my Vajra Stronghold!"

"Hmph, your Vajra Stronghold kills and burns, bringing disaster to all directions; everyone has the right to punish you. I am acting under the orders of the Yizhou Capital to come and wipe you out today!"

"Impossible!"

Zheng Jing suddenly stood out at this moment, "I am the son of the Yizhou Capital official; if the Yizhou Prefecture were to wipe out Vajra Stronghold, why haven't I received any news? Who exactly are you?"

"Hmm?"

The sudden situation actually made Chu Feng feel somewhat surprised.

He had just made up a random excuse to come and loot the place.

Who would have thought that I would encounter a young master from the Yizhou Capital here.

Seeing this situation.

Chu Feng had a flash of inspiration and a plan formed in his mind.

"Young Master, didn't we agree to work from the inside and out to take down the Vajra Stronghold? Why aren't you making a move yet!"

"What?"

Now it was Zheng Jing's turn to be dumbfounded.

When did he ever say he wanted to work from the inside and out to take down the Vajra Stronghold?

How come I don't know about this?

The result was just this one sentence.

It instantly ignited the emotions of everyone from the Vajra Stronghold present.

"Damn it, Big Brother, I knew this little bastard wasn't up to any good! Otherwise, why would he make such an exorbitant demand today? This is clearly premeditated!"

The crowd reacted instantly.

They found that what the third-in-command said indeed made sense.

Usually, the Yizhou Prefecture split the loot fifty-fifty with them.

Today, they unexpectedly demanded seventy percent, which was clearly forcing them to submit.

"Chief, don't listen to his instigation, I don't even know this person at all!"

The pressure was instantly shifted onto Zheng Jing.

At this moment, he had completely become the target of public criticism.

So he had to quickly distance himself from Chu Feng, otherwise, he would have to pay with his life today.

"Damn it, you dog, since your Yizhou Prefecture is heartless, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"

Zhou Wei slashed his blade directly at Zheng Jing.

He no longer cared whether this army belonged to the Yizhou Prefecture or not.

In any case, they had already more or less broken ties with the Yizhou Prefecture.

Besides.

He had long found this Yizhou government office an eyesore.

Damn it!

To have to hand over seventy percent of the plundered treasure to them; this was something he truly could not accept.

One slash to kill him and be done with it.

"Ah!"

Zheng Jing let out a miserable scream.

He died on the spot.

His head was sent flying, and he didn't even know where it had been slashed off to by Zhou Wei.

"Young Master!"

Seeing Zheng Jing killed, Chu Feng hurriedly wore an expression of surprise on his face.

In reality, he was already overjoyed inside.

Well, well!

You, the Chief of the Vajra Stronghold, have truly provided a great assist!

Originally, attacking you was just to settle a score for Zhang He and incidentally make a profit.

As a result of what he did, the justification for attacking them was even more sufficient.

Killing a young master from the Yizhou Capital.

Even if he didn't attack the Yizhou Capital, they would likely have to lead troops to raze the Vajra Stronghold to the ground.

"Brothers, charge!"

"Avenge our young master!"

Chu Feng waved his arm.

Two thousand soldiers immediately charged toward the bandits of the Vajra Stronghold.

"Brothers, kill!"

The bandits of the Vajra Stronghold also charged forward, fearing no death.

This was their territory, and they had an absolute numerical advantage; what kind of waves could a mere two thousand government soldiers stir up?

It was only after they truly started fighting that they realized.

The formation of these government soldiers was extremely formidable.

The brothers who had just charged up were wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"What kind of formation is this?"

Zhou Wei was also somewhat stunned by this bizarre formation.

It was not as if he had never dealt with government soldiers before.

It was just that this was his first time encountering such a formation.

"Bandit leader, you killed my young master; today I will definitely make you pay with your life!"

"Hmph, do you really think I'm afraid of you just because you are at the Innate Late Stage?"

Zhou Wei circulated the True Essence within his body.

A golden aura instantly covered his entire body.

"Do you know why my place is called the Vajra Stronghold?"

Zhou Wei said smugly, "Because what I practice is the Buddhist Sect's Golden Bell Shield, and its defensive power is comparable to the Innate Perfection Stage."

"As long as it is not someone at the Innate Perfection Stage or a Grandmaster-level expert, no one else can break through my defense at all!"

"Oh?"

Zhou Wei's words instantly aroused Chu Feng's intense interest.

He had not expected that taking this trip today would yield such a harvest.

"Golden Bell Shield, is it? I would like to see it for myself!"

"Take this!"

Zhou Wei took a leap and charged toward Chu Feng to kill him.

Chu Feng brandished the long spear in his hand and engaged Zhou Wei in battle.

With a single move.

Zhou Wei was instantly defeated.
