With his words, the war saber in his hand seed to possess a life of its own, constantly slashing towards people’s eyes. With a flash of cold light, soone’s eyes were blinded.
In just a few breaths’ ti, at least ten people had suffered severe injuries.
Everyone was terrified!
Xiao Zheng was too terrifying, almost like a god or demon.
The leader of the Vine Armor Army, witnessing this scene, felt a chill in his heart and, without thinking, desperately dodged backward—he didn’t want to go blind.
Long Qie and others were invigorated and surged forward, each unleashing fierce attacks.
Ten Killings, wielding a long saber, was like the Grim Reaper walking in the dark night, each swing claiming a life. Long Qie on the other hand, dealt massive blows, specifically targeting the unprotected throats of the Vine Armor Soldiers; with each swing of his axe, the enemy’s bones broke and tendons snapped, resulting in great gushes of blood leading to death.
They had been chased so miserably before!
Everyone felt a surge of anger.
Under Xiao Zheng’s leadership, Long Qie and the others regained their morale. Each of them beca frenzied and unleashed great slaughter!
Suddenly, these several hundred Vine Armor Soldiers were put to a retreat by rely a dozen n!
Actually, if speaking of true combat strength, Xiao Zheng and his n were no match for this group of Vine Armor Soldiers. If the enemy had united and encircled them slowly, they could have killed them all.
But with Xiao Zheng there, the equation changed.
His martial skills were amazing!
Wielding the war saber with agile movents, he moved through the masses as if strolling leisurely through a garden. Every strike resulted in another blinded soldier, bringing extre panic to the Vine Armor Army!
Moreover, those Vine Armor Soldiers who had been blinded were terrified. Under such fear, so rolled on the ground, crying in agony,
while others swung their swords aimlessly, or ran around screaming, causing trendous chaos among the Vine Armor Soldiers!
Morale collapsed, and the army was in disarray. The leader, evidently lacking talent, shivered in fear as he saw Xiao Zheng and his n slaughtering in all directions, without any strategy to counter them. Thus, within monts, Xiao Zheng and Long Qie had broken through the encirclent!
Just like a sharp dagger, fiercely piercing through the obstacles ahead.
Xiao Zheng looked around.
Currently, crossing the river was obviously not feasible, entering Gourd Mouth was too dangerous, so the only option was to retreat to either side.
Before coming here, Xiao Zheng had carefully studied the map of the area and knew that above Gourd Mouth was a small valley where they could temporarily take refuge.
Xiao Zheng roared, "Follow ."
They sprinted northward along the river. Seeing this, the Vine Armor Soldiers looked at each other, all wearing expressions of fear, and dared not pursue.
Watching helplessly, Xiao Zheng and his n got farther and farther away.
"Just one man turned the tide—what kind of monster is this man?" the leader of the Vine Armor Army couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
"Alright, they’re only a few n, all injured; they shouldn’t be able to get far. We’ll retreat first and report this situation to the Sect Leader,"
the leader of the Vine Armor Soldiers ordered.
Then he led the Vine Armor Soldiers back to Gourd Valley.
Upon receiving the news of what had occurred, Hozon frowned deeply and said coldly, "Quite the Xiao Zheng! As expected of the Heavenly Net Evil God, his reputation is well-deserved."
But he soon smiled—a smile as cold as a blade’s edge, "However, no matter how powerful a person is, he could still be a tiger fallen to the plains caught by dogs!"
"Sect Leader, what should we do next?"
asked the leader of the Vine Armor Soldiers.
Hozon decisively responded, "Let’s go! There’s no ti to delay; we’ll attack them now. They certainly haven’t had ti to recover yet; this is the best opportunity."
"Yes!"
At that mont, the leader of the Vine Armor Soldiers imdiately reassembled three hundred of his n at Gourd Mouth and then, under Hozon’s command, they fiercely pursued Xiao Zheng, marching toward the place where he had retreated.
This ti, the leader of the Vine Armor Soldiers was full of confidence. He knew that Hozon was a true master. With Hozon leading them, no matter how formidable and demonic Xiao Zheng was, he would ultimately be captured!
anwhile.
Xiao Zheng, along with Long Qie and others, had arrived at the small valley just half an hour later.
Upon entering, Xiao Zheng looked around at his people and couldn’t help but sigh.
Pain was evident in his eyes.
Nearly fifty mbers of Sky Net had co here, and now fewer than thirty remained, all of them wounded!
The mighty Sky Net, when had they ever suffered such a crushing defeat?
Xiao Zheng felt a surge of murderous intent toward Hozon, stronger than he had ever felt before!
"Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry, this ti it’s all because of ..." Long Qie was filled with self-bla, especially when he thought of the brothers who had sacrificed their lives, it was as if his heart was being cut by a knife.
However, before he could finish his words, Xiao Zheng interrupted him.
Patted Long Qie on the shoulder, Xiao Zheng said, "We’ll talk about these matters later. I imagine that Hozon, cunning as a fox, will definitely attack again soon. We need to be prepared."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed.
Indeed, this was the greatest crisis they were facing now!
Without a ferry, the vast river was impassable for anyone except Xiao Zheng. Finding a place to hide, in this area, which was Hozon’s main base, could they really evade capture?
A tough battle was definitely ahead!
If they couldn’t win, they would all die.
"Mr. Xiao, you go first. We’ll hold them off here for a while. Then, you can bring the main force of Sky Net to avenge us!"
At that mont, Ten Killings said with a resolute look in his eyes.
In their hearts, Xiao Zheng was the true leader, holding a higher position even than Long Qie. They were willing to sacrifice everything to ensure Xiao Zheng’s safety!
"Heh, fleeing from battle is sothing I’ve never done," Xiao Zheng said with a light laugh, and seeing that the others were about to speak, he waved his hand to stop them, saying, "No need to say more. I have my own ways of dealing with what cos next. Just do as I instruct."
Xiao Zheng’s tone was calm but carried an air of indisputability.
"We will follow Mr. Xiao’s orders.
Everyone exchanged glances, resigned to obey.
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Good. Though you are injured, you are all brave n of Sky Net, and you should be able to withstand these wounds. Now, move quickly. We need to make so strong bows in the shortest ti possible."
"Strong bows?"
The n were puzzled.
What use would they be?
Even with bows and arrows, the armor of the Vine Armor Soldiers was too tough to penetrate! Moreover, they had the Zhuge Crossbow, a Divine Artifact, which was undoubtedly much more powerful than any bow they could make themselves.
"You’ll know their use when the ti cos,"
Xiao Zheng said with a light smile.
Even though Hozon’s army was about to attack, he remained composed and unruffled, showing no signs of tension.
