Chapter 350 (1/2)
Chapter 350: Unfortunately, the person you are facing is me
When the leaders in the army heard that blood curdling cry, they finally regained their senses . Immediately after, groups of soldiers led by their respectively leaders flooded from all directions towards the stone house .
However…
Just as they were about to near the stone house, all of them had no choice but to stop .
Because, there were countless citizens of the Southern Mountain Range densely packed in front of them . Each of them was dark-skinned and wore various kinds of rattan clothing .
”Move aside!” A leader instantly bellowed .
”Why? What do you guys want to do?” An elder around the age of fifty, dressed in rattan attire and animal leather and wearing a hat with a feather on top of it on his head walked over .
”I see it's settlement chief . Our general had been ambushed by people, could you please tell them to excuse us!” When the leader saw the elder in front of him, he recognised that this was the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement Chief . His tone instantly turned polite .
”General Chen had been ambushed? Then you should hurry up and skirt around the East side!” When the settlement chief heard the leader's words, he instantly became somewhat worried .
”Skirt around?!?” The leader's expression was filled with confusion and shock .
”That's right, I'm really sorry . We are currently holding the grand rain ceremony . This determines whether the weather will be kind to us this year, I hope you wouldn't interrupt . You guys know as well that we have our own Southern Mountain Range customs, this grand rain…” The settlement chief explained very patiently .
”Stop! Now, we are currently rus.h.i.+ng to save our general, would you please give way to us . I'm sure it wouldn't be too late to continue the grand ceremony after we have pa.s.sed!”
”I'm afraid that's not possible . Our ceremony has already begun, how would we know that your general would be ambushed? Once this grand ceremony had started, it cannot be stopped . The altar can't be s.h.i.+fted either, else, we would be punished by Heaven . When that time comes, our Southern…” The settlement chief continued to express his stance .
”Fine fine fine, you don't need to say anything else . Brothers, let's detour!”
The leading generals glanced at one another and indeed couldn't do anything about this . After all, they didn't have much power or say in this, hence simply couldn't incite any obvious forms of conflicts with the Southern Mountain Range .
Even though the Southern Mountain Range is only a va.s.sal state of the Great Xia where people could only be named as Kings and not Emperors, and had to pay tribute to the Dynasty each year, it wasn't just any ordinary va.s.sal state .
The huge and resource-filled Southern Mountain Range, along with the brave and fearsome warriors, were definitely the best ally of the Great Xia .
Of course…
Those weren't the most important factors . The most important thing now was that they simply didn't have any time to argue with this settlement chief any further .
”Quick, make a detour from the East side to behind the stone house!”
”Roger!”
All of the soldiers began to move swiftly, detouring towards the East side of the stone house . However, what they didn't know was that at the East side of the stone house, there was similarly another ”important” grand ceremony going on .
Fang Zhengzhi gazed at Chen Feiyu, who was dodging and leaping around continuously outside the stone house with a faint smile on his lips and occasionally letting out a few cheers .
”Not bad, this is a beautiful move!”
”Careful of your left side, oh no… I have already told you to be careful of the left side!”
”The two Silver Horned Wolves behind you are about to ambush you, be careful! Sigh… what in the world are you doing? You actually believe what an enemy says? Isn't this a little too naive?”
Fang Zhengzhi gave out instructions by the side, one following another . He wasn't in a rush at all .
In Chen Feiyu's heart, Fang Zhengzhi's actions were naturally a sneak attack . However, in Fang Zhengzhi's heart, it was a completely different opinion .
What was a sneak attack?
It is only a sneak attack when done on other people's territory!
Was the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement Chen Feiyu's territory? Of course not . The person who controlled the settlement chief was Fang Zhengzhi . Hence, he was the true owner of the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement .
Then…
This begs the question . Can an attack on one's own territory be considered a sneak attack?
Of course not . At most, it was called catching a turtle in a jar - a sure catch .
Chen Feiyu truly felt very aggrieved at this moment . He gritted his teeth tightly, trying his best to persevere for as long as possible even if his entire body was in excruciating pain .
However, he still believed that his soldiers would definitely arrive on time .
After all, ever since the start of the fight, almost half an hour had pa.s.sed . Yet, not a single shadow was to be seen .
Had they fallen asleep?
Chen Feiyu couldn't accept this . He truly couldn't accept this .
Initially, he believed that as a person who had attained the Supernatural State, he should be standing on the lone peak of a mountain, looking down at the ma.s.ses below him .
However, in reality?
He didn't even have the time to demonstrate his abilities in front of the soldiers, yet why did it seem that he was about to be captured alive? Furthermore, most importantly, he was captured in such a manner by a group of Silver Horned Wolf Cavalry Troops from the Southern Mountain Range .
”One-on-one, I want to fight one-on-one, I am of the Supernatural State!” Chen Feiyu shouted out loudly .
”Sigh… you are truly naive!” Fang Zhengzhi lightly shook his head . Then, he shot a glance towards Teng s.h.i.+sheng . In an instant, the five hundred Silver Horned Wolves let out a synchronous howl .
”Ah!” A bloodcurdling scream followed .
Blood flowed uncontrollably from Chen Feiyu's hands . Because, four Silver Horned Wolves were biting down upon his hands and legs . At the same time, black chains were being thrown up into the sky .
Having his hands tied behind his back was actually not sufficient to describe Chen Feiyu's miserable situation .
His entire body was completely bounded by black chains . If one didn't look carefully, n.o.body would realise that this was actually a live human .
”Bring him down . ” Fang Zhengzhi casually waved his hand .
”No, Fang Zhengzhi, you cannot do this to me . I am of the Supernatural State, I am number one in the combat examination!” Chen Feiyu struggled with all his might . However, he knew very clearly .
Even if he mustered all his strength and managed to forcefully break out, he would still face the same outcome of being forced down onto the ground .
There was no use!
At that very moment Fang Zhengzhi gave the order for five hundred Silver Horned Wolf Cavalries to attack, he already knew that everything was over . His dream was shattered once again .
However, he truly couldn't accept this .
Ever since young, he was never the best . Every single time, he was never able to attract the attention of others . He was miserable . After so many years of misery, he thought that this time, everything would change .
Because, he had a breakthrough, a breakthrough into the Supernatural State . This was the true moment of glory .
However…
Heaven seemed to have given him another punch in the face .
Just as he had planned everything out, swallowing humiliation while waiting to stand with honour in front of thousands of soldiers, a Fang Zhengzhi popped out from behind his back .
His dream of spreading his name across the world was shattered once again .
Falling from the peak of the mountain onto the ground . It was very painful, it was really very painful…
”Fang Zhengzhi, let's discuss, let's discuss please… As long as you don't eliminate me, I can accept any conditions you want!” Chen Feiyu held on to his last strand of hope .
”Really?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Chen Feiyu with some interest .
”Yes, as long as you return the Thunderous Lion Settlement to me and return my army to me, I will accept any conditions you give!” Chen Feiyu's eyes instantly lit up when he realised that Fang Zhengzhi was willing to talk .
