Chapter 97 Brothers

That was a group of seven people all holding weapons . The person at the front was extremely large and was holding a sword in his hands .

Behind him was one fat person and one thin person . The fat one was so big that people couldn’t even tell if he was walking or rolling .

As for the thin one, he was skin and bones, looking just like a chimp . They were both tightly holding swords and following behind that person at the front .

Everyone was completely shocked to see this group appear . Looking carefully, some people couldn’t help exclaiming, “Isn’t that s.h.i.+ Feng who won the compet.i.tion during the Phoenix Cry Lantern Festival??”

“It really is him! There’s also the other two right behind him who I recall being very close to Long Chen!”

“Could they be thinking of stopping the execution?” said some people in disbelief . It was true that s.h.i.+ Feng was a genius, most likely only second to Long Chen .

But even so, he was only someone who had just advanced to the fifth Heavenstage of Blood Condensation, and he was only leading a group of insignificant Qi Condensation brats . This was no different than sending themselves off to die .

“This is true brotherhood . I heard that Long Chen has given them many favors . They’re probably doing this to repay him . Only such people are true men . ” Some people couldn’t help sighing regretfully, but at the same time, they were filled with respect and admiration for them .

This was basically a path of death they were walking . For them to do such a thing required more than just sheer courage .

Looking at this group of people that had suddenly appeared, Chu Xia frowned . He knew that s.h.i.+ Feng and them were extremely close to Long Chen .

But he also knew s.h.i.+ Feng would be his generation’s peak expert . He had hoped he could pull him in and groom him as one of his subordinates . That was why they hadn’t been implicated at all this time .

But he hadn’t expected s.h.i.+ Feng to be so bold and actually dare try to stop an execution with the top experts of both Phoenix Cry and the Grand Xia present .

Before the fourth prince even said anything, there was already a group of troops which blocked their path .

“Those who try to block me will die!” s.h.i.+ Feng angrily shouted and unsheathed his sword . He charged forward valiantly .

“Charge! Save brother Long’s household!” Fatty Yu also followed up closely behind s.h.i.+ Feng . With s.h.i.+ Feng in the lead, their small group charged a squad of over a hundred elite troops .

“If you dare keep coming forward, all of you will die!” coldly shouted the leader of the squad when he saw that s.h.i.+ Feng still didn’t stop .

In truth, he was actually being kind . He hoped s.h.i.+ Feng would stop while he still could . In front of this many experts, there was not even the slightest chance of them succeeding, and so he tried to give s.h.i.+ Feng and the others a path to survival .

At the same time, he was also influenced by s.h.i.+ Feng’s loyalty that was unbending even in the face of death . His troops which had seen blood before admired such a brotherly camaraderie even more than the commoners .

Unfortunately, he was disappointed to see that s.h.i.+ Feng didn’t pause at all, instead advancing even faster .

s.h.i.+ Feng raised his sword and heavily slashed it at that leader’s spear . His power exploded and that squad leader who was also at the mid stage of Blood Condensation was forced back a dozen steps .

That was definitely surprising . No one had expected s.h.i.+ Feng to be so strong at such a young age . The squad leader quickly stabilised himself and pierced his spear at s.h.i.+ Feng .

Suddenly, Blood Qi exploded from s.h.i.+ Feng’s body . His mid Blood Condensation aura immediately erupted and his sword once more slashed down .

That squad leader’s arm turned numb and his hand split open . His spear was sent flying out dozens of meters away, and it continued to tremble incessantly even as it pierced the ground .

His was completely astonished . Seeing s.h.i.+ Feng continuing forward, he realized he would be unable to resist in the slightest and he helplessly closed his eyes to face death .

However, that expected sword blow never fell . Instead he felt himself be kicked tumbling into the distant . Although he appeared a sorry figure, he wasn’t really harmed .

In just two moves, s.h.i.+ Feng had defeated their strongest member . Those troops behind him couldn’t help panicking . Seeing s.h.i.+ Feng charging forward, they hastily raised their spears to block him .

But those soldiers were only ordinary troops . Some of the weaker ones had even yet to enter Qi Condensation . It was impossible for them to block s.h.i.+ Feng, and they were all sent flying .

When Chu Xia saw that s.h.i.+ Feng was so shockingly powerful, he frowned and waved his hand . “Stop them! Remember to capture s.h.i.+ Feng alive!”

The fourth prince’s order caused three small squadrons to completely surround s.h.i.+ Feng’s group . Three mid Blood Condensation advanced forward to block him together .

s.h.i.+ Feng seemed possessed by a G.o.d of war . His sword danced through the air, and even one against three, he still didn’t fall into a disadvantage . However, he was unable to advance any further .

Fatty Yu and the others had been surrounded by troops . They did not possess s.h.i.+ Feng’s combat abilities, and the strongest amongst them was only at the sixth Heavenstage of Qi Condensation .

Most importantly, they had all been advancing by relying on their pa.s.sion . In reality, their combat experience was essentially zero . As soon as they made contact, one of them was immediately heavily injured by a spear .

Fatty Yu had only just blocked a spear when a second had already reached his armpit, giving him a great fright .

But that spear was sliced in two by s.h.i.+ Feng who had been keeping an eye on them . Pus.h.i.+ng back his opponents, he had returned to save Fatty Yu’s life .

But because he had been distracted, one of the squad leader’s spear brushed across his shoulder, and blood slowly flowed out .
