Chapter 26: Happy Escape

  "Run? You'll die! Hah——” Twenty-five meters, not far at all. Xu Feng arrived in an instant, his long sword slicing down with a fierce gust of wind. This strike from Xu Feng contained all the humiliation and anger in his heart, without holding back even a bit. Just as the sword was about to fall on his head, the young man still had his head lowered, supporting Yao Zhong who was on the ground. Xu Feng's eyes couldn't help but reveal an excited glint.

  However, accidents always happen suddenly, making you guess the beginning of things but not the end. With a crisp "ding" sound, a bright light flashed by, and Xu Fengzhi's sword that was about to land was suddenly deflected by an enormous force, the unmatched power sending his wrist numb, almost causing him to lose his grip on the long sword.

  Xu Feng was shocked in his heart, and before he could react, the next moment, a chill ran down from his throat. The boy with scattered hair had somehow stuck to Xu Feng's chest, his hand grasping the steel knife that Yao Zhong had held earlier, the blade tightly pressed against the large artery on Xu Feng's neck.

  "Stop right there!" The young man's calm voice rang out, and all the soldiers who had rushed forward, within five meters of him, stopped in their tracks, looking at Xu Feng in confusion as he was held down by the youth.

  "How's that, General? Did I do it right?" Yao Zhong, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly jumped up and came to the young man's side with an excited face.

  The young man smiled and looked at him with a glance, praising: "Not bad, dog boy! Only today did I discover that you actually have the potential to be an actor!"

  "Actor? What's an actor?" Yao Zhong scratched his head, looking puzzled.

  It goes without saying that the young man who had been holding Xu Feng back was delighted. Ever since Zhang Shun reported the news, Gao Xing had begun to prepare, but he hadn't expected Xu Feng to be so cautious. What should have taken two hours took nearly three, and they didn't arrive until dusk, which gave Gao Xing even more time to prepare.

  Gou Wazi Yao Zhongping is always fond of making trouble, and this time he took the initiative to play the role of a demon king.

  He happily said a sentence "I'll tell you later" and cast his gaze towards Xu Feng, smiling and asking: "General, what's your honorable surname? What brings you to pursue us brothers so urgently?"

  Xu Feng hummed and gritted his teeth: "This question should be asked by me, shouldn't it? What kind of people are you, and who are you? Are you the Qi army?"

  "Ha ha! General, since you've already guessed it, I don't need to say anything more!"

  Seeing the excitement, Xu Feng's face suddenly changed, and a deep sense of fear and regret floated onto his face.

  Delighted and wickedly laughing: "General Xu, are you worried about the generals outside the forest?"

  "What's wrong with them?" Xu Feng asked anxiously, blurting out the words involuntarily.

  "Ha ha, what else can I say? You should have thought of it too!"

  "Ah! General Wu, Xu Feng is ashamed to face you! You treacherous dog, I'll fight you to the death!" Xu Feng shouted in a panic and rage, completely disregarding the gleaming steel blade at his neck, raising the sword in his hand and charging towards Gaoxing.

  Gao Xing was not afraid at all, and with a light smile, his left hand reached out first, grasping Xu Feng's arm. With a sudden burst of strength, Xu Feng let out a pained cry as his wrist was snapped by Gao Xing.

  Xu Feng is also a tough guy, without his sword and one hand, he still has another arm and two legs, and he still has teeth. He knows that he was outsmarted and captured, Chen's army outside the forest cannot be saved, this mission is completely failed, and Yangping's war may have failed from now on. The morale of Chen's army in the north will suffer a huge blow, all of this is due to his own negligence, he has let down Wu Mingche who entrusted him with an important task, and he cannot repay his kindness.

  Xu Feng, who had nothing to love and nothing to fear, went crazy, kicking and biting, completely disregarding the steel knife on his neck. However, these unorthodox moves were futile against Gao Xing, and in just a few breaths, accompanied by several cracking sounds, Xu Feng's remaining three limbs were all dislocated.

  "What are you still dazing about, don't mind me, quickly kill them, avenge our brothers, kill!" The physical pain made Xufeng sober up a bit, looking at the crowd of Chen Jun who were still standing stupidly in place, he couldn't help but let out a frantic roar.

  The Chen army was stunned, and finally someone shouted: "Avenge the general, kill!" "Kill!" The Chen army roared, raised their spears and stabbed towards Gao Xing and Yao Zhong.

  Yao Zhong saw that he was about to resist, and with a happy curse, he grabbed Xu Feng and started swinging. A series of "puffing" sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh rang out, and Xu Feng's body was soon pierced by more than ten long spears, his fresh blood quickly dyeing him completely red.

  "General!" The crowd of Chen's soldiers cried out in grief. Xu Feng died under his own spear, leaving all the soldiers shocked and sorrowful, and for a moment they were stunned.

  Xu Feng's face revealed a hint of relieved and comforting smile, weakly uttering a "kill" before reluctantly stopping his breath.

  "Run, dog!" With a sigh of excitement, a hint of helplessness and sorrow appeared on his face. He didn't expect these Chen* soldiers to really disregard Xu Feng's life. Xu Feng was also considered a man, dying at the hands of his own soldiers, it was a good ending. Although he sighed in his heart, Gao Xing's hands did not stop, pulling Yao Zhong towards the depths of the forest.

  "Kill them, avenge the general! Kill——" The Chen* army's eyes widened in anger, their eyes bloodshot as they stared forward, bursting out about 50 meters with excitement, as if they were going to pounce on someone. Their entire body emitted a fierce and menacing aura. Their shouts were filled with sorrow, anger, and hatred.

  The thousand Chen* troops had all fallen into a state of frenzy, without any rules or formation. They all used their full strength, their eyes fixed intently on the two happy people fleeing rapidly in front of them, pursuing closely and shouting continuously.

  In the woods, a scene unfolded where two "beggars" were fleeing in front, while a thousand neatly dressed soldiers were desperately chasing after them from behind, with only twenty meters between them, and the distance was gradually narrowing.

  After a one-li sprint, the distance between the two sides was shortened to ten meters. Just as they were about to catch up with Gao Xing and Er Niangzi, all the soldiers' faces revealed bloodthirsty and cruel smiles.

  "Hey!" With a joyful whoop, he suddenly jumped up from the ground with Yao Zhong, and kicked a nearby large tree with one foot. "Bang", a loud muffled sound, the big tree shook violently, and countless branches and leaves fell off. The bodies of Gaoxing and Yao Zhong shot obliquely into the sky, about 6 or 7 meters high, drawing a beautiful parabola, falling towards the distance.

  "Thud", happily landed, already 15 meters away. Slightly bent knees to dissipate the downward force of the fall, but Xiao Feng didn't stop or look back, pulling Yao Zhong to continue running forward, only this time at a much slower speed.

  Gao Xing suddenly jumped up and scared Chen Jun, when Gao Xing landed, the distance between them was widened to twenty meters again. Seeing that Gao Xing was about to escape, how could Chen Jun give up? They roared, gathered all their strength, aimed at the direction and rushed forward with an even faster speed.

  "Ah——" The wailing cries rose and fell, followed by a chorus of mournful shouts. Gao Xing and Yao Zhongyu, who were running, stopped in their tracks, turned around, and stared at the tragic scene unfolding not far away.

  No one noticed that his face was flushed with excitement, and his breathing was slightly disordered. "This dog is too heavy, almost fell into the trap!" Xiang was secretly thinking in his heart, glancing at Yao Zhong's body with a sidelong glance. The previous jump had almost exhausted 90% of the true energy in his body.

  Chen Jun didn't have the ability to be happy, and could only run from the ground. This run was just the beginning of a tragedy. A pit with a diameter of 10 meters and a depth of 5 meters was waiting for them, with dense, sharpened wooden stakes as thick as children's arms. Chen Jun, who was only focused on running, didn't notice what was under his feet and fell into the trap.
