Chapter 45: Assassins Outside the City
ut resisting others, Huian felt even more ridiculous.Just now you didn't stop them, letting all those monks be wiped out. Now with just the two of you, how will you possibly hold them back"Messenger,...Hu Feng, a trusted general under Bai Wei, recently received an order from Bai Wei to head towards Liangzhou City and seize a shipment of goods.
Hu Feng, who was himself a gangster, had originally gained Bai Wei's admiration through his ruthlessness and meticulousness. Therefore, even knowing that what they were seizing might be the government's goods, Hu Feng still brought people here.
What made Hu Feng upset was that in order to intercept that shipment, he had even dispersed his men, spreading them out like a net from Flying Dragon City all the way to outside Liangzhou City, but found nothing.
Still thinking it was just himself not checking carefully enough, Hu Feng once again led a team from Liangzhou City to Feilong City to comb through the area.
The result is still the same, no hair was found on this road.
Subsequently, Hu Feng became suspicious and once again brought his men to Liangzhou City. He disguised himself and went outside the city to inquire about information, but found no news about Liangzhou City transporting grain to Feilong City.
"Oh no, we've been tricked!"
After a careful analysis, Hu Feng was suddenly shocked and realized something instantly: the Huaqing Princess within Feilong City had lied.
As Bai Wei's right-hand man, Hu Feng knew a lot of things, so he immediately understood what happened in Feilong City. Someone was setting a trap, Hu Feng didn't know who the mastermind was, but he clearly saw the purpose of this scheme!
Go back immediately and report this to the head of the house!
The moment he realized all of this, Hu Feng's entire back was drenched in sweat.
Thus, a group of people once again set off from Liangzhou City, galloping towards Feilong City without stopping.
"Boss Hu, we're about to reach Flying Dragon City. Shouldn't we let the brothers rest for a bit"
Having continuously traveled back and forth between Fei Long City and Liangzhou City, Hu Feng's men were exhausted, especially now, with no time to rest and dashing back to Fei Long City. They were even more tired.
"We're only ten miles away from Flying Dragon City, it won't take long." Hu Feng was tired too, but he knew now wasn't the time to rest. "Brothers, push yourselves a little harder! Once we reach Flying Dragon City, we'll have a good few days of rest. When that time comes, I'll rent out the Chang Hua Building for us all!"
As expected, Hu Feng's last words were like a shot of adrenaline, reviving the weary team. Some had already begun to daydream about how they would strut their stuff at Chang Hua Lou.
Whoosh~!
A sharp voice suddenly rang out from all directions, causing Hu Feng's team to pause in surprise. "How familiar this sound is,"
"Archer!" It was Hu Feng's quick reflexes that saved him. The moment he heard the shrill cry, he dove into the horse's belly and shouted, "There's an ambush! Scatter!"
But Hu Feng's words came too late. The sneak attack combined with the fatigue of Hu Feng's men greatly increased the lethality of the arrows!

"Ah!"
The arrow pierced the air, tearing through flesh and bone, leaving a trail of blood blossoms in its wake, reaping lives with every shot!
The sudden attack caused the entire squad to fall into chaos. Even the horses were hit by arrows, becoming unmanageable and adding to the pandemonium. Under the hooves of the panicking steeds, the situation worsened, resulting in even greater casualties.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The arrows kept falling relentlessly, and Hu Feng gritted his teeth. "Bring a few people with me! Let's charge!"
If they don't break through the enemy's ranks, they are sitting ducks!
Hu Feng's cultivation was not weak, his cultivation at the eighth level of the first ring made Hu Feng like a superman.
To dodge the arrows, Hu Feng let out a roar and forcefully lifted his horse, using it as a shield to charge towards the rain of arrows. Behind him, over ten of his men followed!
"Give it to me!"
In a few steps, crossing dozens of meters, Hu Feng exerted his arms with all his might, hurling the horse, riddled with arrows and now lifeless, forward like a cannonball towards the figures ahead.
Whew!
The heavy horses flew across the air, making a whooshing sound. With the horse's weight plus Hu Feng's arm strength, one strike into the crowd ahead would inevitably cause casualties.
"You go and exterminate the others, I'll deal with these few!"
A voice accompanied by a figure leaped from the crowd, striking directly at the horse in mid-air with a palm. With a deafening explosion, the horse was brutally shattered into a bloody mist!
"Fire refines gold!"
A bloody mist swirled violently, and a figure burst out of it. Their hands, glowing faintly red, shot forward, directly striking Hu Feng who was also charging towards them!
"You're asking for death!"
Seeing the opponent dare to directly attack with their bare hands, Hu Feng didn't hold back. His battle saber slashed towards those fleshy palms!
Here we go!
His palm was like iron, Zhang Liyang's lightning-fast strike caught the incoming blade and crushed it. To Hu Feng's astonishment, his own sword began to rapidly heat up in response.
That is due to the redness caused by the intense heat!
And what scared Hu Feng even more was that Zhang Liyang's other palm had already shot towards Hu Feng's chest.
Here is a good Hu Feng, worthy of the name ruthless and merciless. After sensing the terrifying power of Zhang Liyang's palm strike, he did not hesitate at all. He instantly flashed his figure and pulled a subordinate beside him over to use as a shield!
Slap!
Click!
A sickening crack echoed as the unfortunate man's chest caved in under Zhang Liyang's palm. He didn't even have time to let out a whimper before he slumped lifelessly to the ground.
Though the fire in Li Yang's palm had vanished, it still burned within his body. Soon, a smell of barbecued meat filled the air around him.
"There's no way to fight this, let's go!"
Seeing the tragic state of his subordinate, Hu Feng turned and ran. At the same time, he knew in his heart that the person who attacked him must have been the one who set up the trap, because only the mastermind would know why they had to assassinate him!
What Hu Feng hadn't expected was that the cultivator behind this scheme possessed such terrifying power. He, a cultivator at the Eighth Realm, didn't even dare to face him head-on and fled in an instant.
"Escape You escaped, how can I complete my system task!"
Seeing Hu Feng running away, Zhang Liyang let out a cold snort in his heart. Whether it was for Feilong City or his own system mission, Zhang Liyang would never allow Hu Feng to escape.
It's not just Hu Feng, Zhang Liyang doesn't intend to let anyone off either!
"Beep, the system announces a mission: eliminate all personnel in front of you. Mission completion requirement: none spared!"
Hu Feng was fleeing, Zhang Liyang was in pursuit. Along the way, they encountered Hu Feng's subordinates. Zhang Liyang struck with a palm, and those with weaker cultivation fell directly to the ground dead. Those with stronger cultivation suffered a terrible fate. The fiery energy burned within them like a raging fire, causing them excruciating pain. In the end, they could only wail in agony as they died!
Even Hu Feng couldn't help but shiver inwardly at the sound of those agonizing screams behind him.
Even though he was part of the underworld, he had heard similar cries before. Each one represented a terrifying pain! them back to their stronghold.After the extermination of the Secret Sect, Li Guozhu led us to conquer Flying Dragon City.“Shangqing Palace!”Although Ho Hak-tak only said one simple sentence, Cheung L...
