233 Taking Down Ershi Ridge Part 3 (1/2)

The mountain bandits decided to throw everything in; they rushed to reinforce the mountain stronghold.

When they reached the front, Ouyang Shuo had already controlled the entire stronghold. They had killed or forced all the combat mountain bandits to surrender. Then, they locked the bandits up.

When he looked at the shut stronghold doors, the boss became so angry he wanted to vomit blood. He didn't expect the enemy to proceed so quickly; this time, he had completely failed.

Ouyang Shuo stood on the arrow tower with his Guards by his side, “Those outside, listen up. I have taken over your stronghold. It's not too late for you to surrender.”

”You have the guts to say that? Why not come out for a battle to the death!” shouted the furious boss.

Ouyang Shuo knew that if he didn't kill the boss, he wouldn't be able to recruit the mountain bandits, “Ok, I, the lord, will do as you wish.” He turned around, “Which one of you wants to fight and slay him?”

”Lord, send me!” Er'Lai and Shi Wanshui both wished to battle.

Both of them wanted to fight the mountain bandit leader, it was pointless as the mountain barbarian leader wasn’t their level. Ouyang Shuo didn't know which one to choose.

At that moment, Wang Feng stood out, “To kill a chicken you don't need to use a butcher knife. Lord, send me!”

Ouyang Shuo froze, “Good, I'll send you out!”

”Thank you, lord!” Wang Feng turned and walked down the arrow tower.

Er'Lai and Shi Wanshui were both happy with this decision and naturally didn't oppose it.

The doors of the stronghold opened and Wang Feng walked out under the protection of the Guards unit. Then, he pointed his spear at the bandit boss, “Shanhai County Wang Feng. I'm here to spar.”

When he saw that his opponent had sent such a young general out, the boss grew even more furious, “A stupid kid that has just finished sucking milk? Eat a knife from your grandfather!” He raised his knife and charged at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng remained unfazed. He rushed forward and with a shake of his spear, he caught the knife. Both weapons were made of exquisite iron; both of the same quality.

Bajiquan and spears were the best combination. Wang Feng imbued the essence of the Bajiquan into each stroke of his spear.

Every time the spear struck the knife, a power will be spread through it, which numbed the boss's right hand. In a moment of carelessness, he nearly dropped his knife. This astonished him, and he didn't dare to underestimate his opponent anymore.

Since he was able to lead a whole mountain of mountain bandits, he naturally had strength. His strokes were heavy and powerful. Coupled with his vast experience, both of them fought evenly.

On the arrow tower, Er'Lai and Shi Wanshui watched on. Wang Feng's performance pleased these two experts, and they would comment a few words from time to time.

When the Guards unit soldiers saw their major strut his stuff, they started to cheer for him. The mountain bandits didn't back down and started to cheer their boss on. Both sides ended up in a war of voices.

The atmosphere made everyone's blood boil, and the battle instantly entered a white-hot stage. Each and every move aimed to take the opponent’s life, as they both thought of various ways to try and kill their enemy.

Ouyang Shuo knew that it was hard for Wang Feng to chance upon such a battle. He might even break the bottleneck and become an intermediate general.

Ouyang Shuo wasn't a gentleman. To ensure Wang Feng's safety, he ordered Shi Wanshui to shoot an arrow to kill the boss if Wang Feng felt into a perilous situation.

Luckily, it didn't reach that step in the end.

The pressure that the mountain bandit boss posed had ignited Wang Feng's potential.

He got close to his opponent. Then, he shook his spear to use the ultimate technique of the Bajiquan—Cling To The Mountain. The spear was like a poisonous snake, as it stuck to the knife and slid down, pushing the boss away. Like a shadow, the spear continued to stick, which forced the bandit boss to release the knife and drop it to the ground.

After the bandit boss dropped his weapon, his face turned white, as he muttered, “My life ends here, carry on.”

With victory in sight, Wang Feng waved his spear and charged forward with lightning speed. Then, he stabbed the spear into the bandit boss’s chest.

The screams of the bandit boss slowly stopped.

Wang Feng pulled out the spear from the bandit boss’s chest. Fresh blood spurted all over the place. The boss had his eyes wide open in disbelief, as he fell to the ground.

After he killed off his opponent, Wang Feng actually closed his eyes, as if he was reflecting on the battle.

In front of the stronghold, the mountain bandits were frozen. They didn’t dare to move, as they faced Wang Feng, who stood with his eyes closed.

”Kill him, take revenge for boss!” Finally, a mountain bandit reacted.
