Chapter 162 (2/2)

”The Redwolf Bandit stronghold is a place that is easy to defend and hard to attack. If we advance blindly, we will suffer disastrous losses. We have to think of a plan,” said the princ.i.p.al.

”Challenge them to leave the stronghold and battle us outside!” suggested someone.

”That is feasible. In any case, we can't do a full frontal attack. Otherwise, we might be the ones to suffer defeat,” said the princ.i.p.al.

Next, a Green Bamboo Academy elder rode forth on his mount and yelled loudly in the direction of the stronghold, ”Redwolf Bandits, listen here. Your third head has been killed. Lay down your weapons and surrender immediately. Or else—”

Before he could finish his words, a large boulder came cras.h.i.+ng down on him.

The elder was given a fright, and he quickly dodged to the side. If his cultivation level was even a tiny bit weaker, he would have been reduced into a pile of mincemeat.

But that was only the start. Immediately afterwards, a large number of boulders rained down on them.

”They're attacking with catapults! Everyone, retreat!” the princ.i.p.al cried out in alarm even as he smashed two boulders apart to protect the people behind him.

Unfortunately, the catapults were too powerful and the boulders were too fast. Those below the Transformation Realm would be hard pressed to survive them, and it only took a while for a number of them to fall victim to the boulders.

”Ahhhh!”

A few of them were instantly killed, about a dozen were gravely injured, and the rest were scattered. One ought to admit that the Green Bamboo Town people were truly quite bad in a battle. Just the first wave of boulders had been enough to scatter the group.

”You fools. Since you have the guts to come attack us, all of you shall die here!” shouted Bai Fan from above the stronghold walls.

”Bai Fan, come fight me like a man! I will definitely rip your head off your body!” challenged the princ.i.p.al.

”Old man, you are nothing. A day will come when I crush the Green Bamboo Academy,” Bai Fan sneered as he started scanning the battlefield, trying to look for a certain person.

”Head, that kid is really here! Look, he's trying to take a detour from over there,” said Mo Mo as she pointed in a certain direction.

When Bai Fan looked over, he saw Xiang Shaoyun rus.h.i.+ng toward them on a red wolf from an angle the catapults could hardly reach with their rain of boulders.

Then again, the route Xiang Shaoyun had taken was also one of the main routes leading to the stronghold, and it was riddled with traps. With his clear mind and sharp eyes, however, Xiang Shaoyun seemed capable of reading the future, as he was able to safely avoid all the traps as he approached the stronghold.

”He sure is gutsy. Men, shoot him down!” Bai Fan commanded.

At that command, a group of archers shot more than 10 arrows at Xiang Shaoyun. A layer of energy barrier appeared around Xiang Shaoyun, protecting him completely from the arrows. That was the benefit of having outer shaped energy. Regular attacks could be easily blocked.

”Well, he is quite capable. No wonder third brother got himself killed. Let me see if you can block my attack as well,” said Bai Fan with a vicious glint in his eyes.

A spear appeared in his hand, and he threw it at Xiang Shaoyun with his full strength. There were a few hundred meters between him and Xiang Shaoyun, and someone throwing a spear from so far away was something completely unimaginable.

The spear streaked across the sky with an overbearing might, heading straight for Xiang Shaoyun.
