Chapter 87: A Complete Victory, a Mercenary's Transaction

~11 min read 2,082 words

"You old bastard, get the hell out of my way!"

Although this old man looked quite decent and was even a Grandmaster, he was definitely not as 'valuable' as the Zuo Xian!

"You foul-mouthed little brat, how dare you humiliate this old man like this!"

You Teng's face instantly turned the color of pig liver from anger, "Today I will surely make sure you die without a burial ground!"

"Old bastard, come on then!"

"You brat, take this!"

The two top-tier powerhouses collided fiercely.

The intensity of their combat fluctuations caused the entire battlefield to come to a standstill.

Everyone focused their gaze on the battle between Chu Feng and You Teng.

"This... this kid, he... he actually..."

A disheveled-looking Zhao Ping could not believe it.

Is this young man still the subordinate he once had?

He was already surprised enough when he learned that Chu Feng could instantly kill a Grandmaster Peak powerhouse.

Who would have thought that Chu Feng's strength would still far exceed his expectations.

The current Chu Feng could actually go head-to-head with a Grandmaster-level powerhouse.

And he even held the upper hand.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Wei to produce such a top-tier figure; what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Kill Zhao Ping with everything we've got, then run!"

"Let's do it!"

The four men focused their gaze on Zhao Ping once again.

Zhao Ping felt immense pressure.

These four really thought highly of him.

Even at a time like this, they were still fixated on his life; how much must they love him!

"You all better think clearly; it won't take long for Chu Feng to finish off You Teng. If you leave now, you might still have a chance to survive!"

"Haha, it won't be too late to take your life before that and then run away. Brothers, time is tight, do it!"

The four men had no intention of holding back now.

They unleashed their full power, aiming only to take Zhao Ping's life as quickly as possible.

"Damn it all, do you really think I'm made of mud!"

Zhao Ping was also getting fired up.

Don't think it's an easy task for the four of you to finish me off.

As long as he could stall until Chu Feng finished off You Teng, he would be able to achieve final victory.

"Damn it, why is this kid's power so terrifying?"

You Teng had truly hit a wall today.

He never expected that his trip today would result in such a calamity.

Had he known this, he would never have come to muddy these waters with the Zuo Xian.

Not only did he gain no benefits, but his life was now at stake.

"Old bastard, prepare to die!"

Chu Feng brandished his long spear and struck directly at his opponent, "Tyrant Spear Divine Skill, Flood Dragon Exits the Sea!"

A dragon's roar instantly echoed across the scene, as if a flood dragon had emerged into the world.

It was a pity that this was not a flood dragon, but the sonic boom produced by the long spear rapidly piercing the air.

"Ah!"

You Teng let out a miserable scream.

His entire chest was pierced through by Chu Feng's spear, leaving a massive hole.

His life force was rapidly fading, and his corpse fell from the sky.

After dealing with You Teng.

Chu Feng immediately focused his gaze on the Zuo Xian.

It was a pity that this old man had no other skills, but he was quite good at running away.

In just this short amount of time, the opponent had already run quite far.

Just as Chu Feng was about to pursue.

He saw that Zhao Ping was currently in a crisis.

"Not good!"

Chu Feng immediately abandoned the Zuo Xian to go save Zhao Ping, "You dog, stop right there!"

"Not good, that kid is coming to kill us!"

"Don't get bogged down in the fight, run!"

They were only a moment away from killing Zhao Ping.

It was just a pity that You Teng was too useless and failed to block Chu Feng's offensive.

"Damn Xiongnu, none of you are getting away today!"

Chu Feng immediately took out his bow and arrow, then pulled back the bowstring.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The four arrows, like precision-guided weapons, headed straight for the four of them.

The four who were fleeing had never imagined.

That Chu Feng would actually possess such a divine skill.

"Damn it, how is this possible!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Four screams rang out one after another.

Their lives came to an end right there.

If they had known earlier that Chu Feng possessed such a miraculous ability.

They would not have wasted time here with Zhao Ping for anything.

However, one thing is certain.

Their sacrifice was not in vain.

Taking advantage of the moment Chu Feng was dealing with the four of them, the Zuo Xian had already led his remaining troops and fled.

If he had known that these four people had deliberately stalled to buy him time to escape.

I am afraid the Zuo Xian would have kowtowed to them directly.

But right now, all the Zuo Xian was thinking about was how he just wanted to leave this place of trouble immediately.

This Chu Feng is simply too terrifying.

Even a Grandmaster is no match for him.

"General!"

Chu Feng hurried to Zhao Ping's side, "Quickly, take this!"

"Many thanks!"

Zhao Ping swallowed the Pill given by Chu Feng without hesitation.

Soon, his wretched condition finally improved.

Chu Feng was glad he had arrived in time; otherwise, Zhao Ping would definitely have been in grave danger.

"General, you go back to rest first, I will go clean up the aftermath!"

"Good!"

Zhao Ping did not stand on ceremony with Chu Feng.

This kid is extremely formidable now; there is no one more reassuring to leave the scene to than him.

After sending Zhao Ping away, Chu Feng immediately began his violent slaughter.

"You dog bastards, if you have the guts, don't run!"

Holding his great spear, Chu Feng joined the battle to slaughter the Xiongnu soldiers once again.

By this time, the Xiongnu soldiers had completely lost the will to continue fighting.

Their king had run away.

The most powerful You Teng had been killed by Chu Feng.

So what was there left to fight for!

One by one, they threw away their helmets and armor and fled at the sight of him.

Why does Great Wei produce so many monsters!

If they could return to the Xiongnu this time, they would never come back even if they were beaten to death.

How much better it would be to honestly go home and herd sheep!

That is better than losing one's life.

In this battle, Chu Feng led his troops from daytime until evening.

They chased and killed the Xiongnu for over a hundred miles before giving up the pursuit.

In this battle, they displayed the might of the Great Wei soldiers.

And they also rewrote the history that Great Wei soldiers could not fight in the field.

In this battle, they wiped out 130,000 Xiongnu troops in one fell swoop and captured 40,000 warhorses.

There were countless amounts of grain, fodder, and other military supplies.

After gathering the supplies, Chu Feng immediately led his troops back to Dingning Pass.

At this time, at the gate of Dingning Pass.

Zhao Ping had already led the remaining soldiers to line up in front, waiting for their return.

"This subordinate greets the General!"

"Enough, enough, why are you still standing on ceremony with me!"

Zhao Ping waved his hand, "You are now the Expeditionary General of the Middle Rank personally bestowed by the imperial court, holding a Fifth Grade rank; when it comes down to it, our ranks are about the same."

"Regardless, the General is always the General; this subordinate is but a small soldier under your command!"

"Hahaha..."

Zhao Ping laughed heartily, put his arm around Chu Feng's shoulder and said, "Look at you being so polite; let's go, let's go, the evening banquet has already been prepared. You have performed a great service, tonight we two shall not stop until we are drunk!"

Night.

The entire Dingning Pass was bustling with excitement.

Everything relied on Chu Feng extending a helping hand in time, saving Dingning Pass from dire straits.

"Old Qiu, how long has it been since we last met? You kid have transformed; not only have you broken through to the Innate realm, but you are already a Deputy General!"

"General Lu, thank you all for your righteous intervention, please!"

Everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.

Chu Feng and his table were no exception.

"Little Feng, thank you again for saving Dingning Pass today. Your uncle has nothing better to thank you with; it's all in the wine."

"Cheers!"

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food.

The relationship between Chu Feng and Zhao Ping instantly grew much closer.

The two began to address each other as uncle and nephew.

"Little Feng! Your Iron Pagoda troops showed great might today! To be able to break through the formation of tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops with only three thousand men, that is remarkable!"

Zhao Ping gave Chu Feng a thumbs-up, then said with some melancholy,

"Sigh! It's a pity that your uncle is poor!"

"I don't have the money to equip such a unit. If I had such a unit in my hands, what would I have to fear from the Xiongnu? I would go straight to their lair!"

The more Zhao Ping spoke, the more excited he became.

Every few words, he would bring up Chu Feng's Iron Pagoda troops.

He had a strong urge to keep the Iron Pagoda at Dingning Pass.

"No, Uncle, I advise you to stay calm!"

How could Chu Feng not understand what the other meant? "This stuff is incredibly expensive! I spent a huge fortune to train this unit!"

"We are family, so let's not speak like strangers. You'd say your uncle has treated you pretty well usually, right?"

"Uh..."

"This..."

Chu Feng twitched the corner of his mouth.

Damn it!

It seemed this old geezer really wanted to bleed him dry.

If he didn't give him some benefits, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this place.

But then again, he would definitely give him something; after all, this was his home base, but he couldn't give it away for nothing.

Chu Feng: "Uncle, how about this, I'll get you two thousand sets of Heavy Armor?"

Zhao Ping: "Really?"

Chu Feng: "Yes, but you have to trade something for them."

Zhao Ping: "No problem!"

Chu Feng: "As for today's spoils of war, I can forgo the rest, but I must take the forty thousand warhorses!"

Zhao Ping: "That won't do! Dear nephew, your uncle is short on horses too! You're already so rich, do you still lack these few things?"

Chu Feng: "I really do lack them. After all, I have other operations later, so I have a special need for warhorses."

Zhao Ping: "How about this, we split them equally?"

Chu Feng: "No, I want thirty thousand!"

Zhao Ping: "Twenty-two thousand!"

Chu Feng: "Twenty-eight thousand!"

After some haggling between the two.

Chu Feng took away twenty-five thousand warhorses, and Zhao Ping kept fifteen thousand.

Chu Feng: "Uncle, I still need to ask you for a few people!"

Zhao Ping: "Whoever you want, just say it!"

Chu Feng: "Give me three Colonels with Postnatal cultivation!"

Zhao Ping: "That won't work, these are my brothers-in-arms, my dearest friends; they have all gone through life and death with me..."

Chu Feng: "How about three Fifth Grade Pills?"

Zhao Ping: "Deal!"

Everyone's faces turned dark.

Having spent so long together.

They had never seen their own General have such a mercenary side.

Just a moment ago, he was swearing they were brothers-in-arms and dearest friends.

And in the end, he sold them off for five Fifth Grade Pills.

"Hehe, Uncle, happy doing business with you!"

"Haha, you're too kind, we're family, aren't we!"

The two continued to drink and chat happily.

But it was at this very moment.

A violent sound instantly drew everyone's attention.

Boom!

"Who goes there!"

Chu Feng and Zhao Ping were the first to react.

The two of them looked in the direction the sound came from, and as it turned out, they actually saw an acquaintance.
