Chapter 117: Repelling the Second Leader and Joining Up with the Main Army

The leader's face darkened upon receiving the news.

He even praised Ninth Master in front of everyone today, but unexpectedly, Ninth Master sold it off as soon as he turned around.

That was a resounding slap in the face.

The Ninth Master not only ran away, but also took several hundred of his men with him.

That's quite an ability.

He immediately dispatched his trusted men out of the city to hunt down Lin Feng and his group, and also sent another group to put out the fire.

At the same time, all bandits training outside were ordered to return to the city.

He felt that the fire was likely a signal to the government, so he sent out a large number of scouts to all directions.

He wanted to know if there were any government troops around.

The bandits, who were undergoing training, entered the city on the orders of their leader.

They thought it was because the leader was being considerate of them.

Only a few people gazed thoughtfully at the thick smoke in the distance.

……

Lin Feng's group was a mixed bag, and their pace wasn't very fast. They were quickly overtaken by the second-in-command, who was highly skilled in light-footed martial arts.

The second-in-command looked at the group of people in front of him and shouted, "Are you trying to rebel?"

"Go back now, and the boss and I might spare your lives."

With a whoosh, Lin Feng fired two shots of crimson gold glass.

The second-in-command who rushed towards Lin Feng immediately felt his scalp tingle.

She felt that she couldn't dodge those two hidden weapons no matter what.

She channeled her inner strength, and two short swords sprang from her waist.

Clang! The crimson glass struck the short sword, shattering into two clumps of iron sand.

The steel ball was far less hard than the two short knives of the second-in-command.

However, the second-in-command wasn't having an easy time either; the two short swords were pushed by the Crimson Gold Glaze and bumped into him.

The second-in-command was knocked back several meters before landing on the ground.

After landing, she gripped two short knives with both hands, assuming a stance that allowed her to both attack and defend.

"What superb hidden weapon skills! Ninth Master is truly a master of disguise."

Although she said it casually, she was already on high alert.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have died on the spot.

Lin Feng frowned. The second-in-command had actually blocked his Crimson Gold Glaze head-on.

The inner disciples of the Demonic Sect are indeed quite capable.

Lin Feng couldn't figure out the second leader's true strength, and the second leader was also afraid that Lin Feng would continue to shoot at her.

Lin Feng clasped his hands and said, "The Sword Sect's army is just ahead."

Second-in-command, you can leave it here.

Once the Sword Sect's army arrives, the second-in-command probably won't be able to return."

Upon hearing this, the second-in-command's brow twitched. She jumped to the top of a tree and looked in Lin Feng's direction. Sure enough, she saw a large number of trees swaying in the distance.

This clearly indicates that a large number of people are using their lightness skills to rush this way.

The second-in-command jumped down from the tree and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Ninth Master, it looks like you're going to make a great contribution this time."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I have to thank the Second Master for taking care of me during this time."

The second-in-command was extremely wary of Lin Feng's hidden weapons.

She faced Lin Feng and quickly retreated.

"See you later!"

Lin Feng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Whether we meet again or not depends on whether the Second Master can get through this ordeal. Goodbye!"

Seeing that Lin Feng had defeated the second-in-command, the bandits trusted him even more.

Lin Feng led the group forward at a faster pace.

After retreating a distance, the second-in-command used his lightness skill to rush towards the bandits' main city.

Her expression turned extremely solemn. Not only had the mission failed, but she also had to face the encirclement and suppression of the Sword Sect's army.

She didn't know how many people from the Sword Sect had come, so she had to inform the leader to prepare for the battle.

……

Lin Feng's men ran for a while longer.

Suddenly, a large number of black-clad swordsmen appeared ahead.

Lin Feng hurriedly shouted, "Lin Feng, the Hemp-Clad Guard, is here. Are those people from the Sword Sect ahead?"

This team was the First Battalion of soldiers led by Hong Baichuan.

Zheng Tiejun, Zhang Xiaoyu, and others are all in this team.

Lin Feng finished shouting.

Zhang Xiaoyu immediately shouted, "Don't make a move, it's General Lin!"

Zheng Tiejun rushed to Lin Feng's side, grabbed Lin Feng's shoulder, and said, "Brother Lin, you've worked hard this time!"

Lin Feng clasped his hands and said, "My lord, I have fulfilled my mission successfully this time."

Zheng Tiejun brought Lin Feng to Hong Baichuan, saying, "This is General Hong of the Iron Sword Army."

"This is General Lin Feng, who infiltrated the bandits this time."

Lin Feng's first reaction was, this person also has the surname Hong, could he be related to the teacher?

Hong Baichuan grabbed Lin Feng's shoulder and shook him, "Brother Lin, you are truly a brave warrior to venture into the tiger's den alone."

Lin Feng quickly replied, "You flatter me, sir. How could I, Lin Feng, accomplish such a great task by myself? The brothers behind me have been a great help."

Lin Feng pointed to a group of bandits in an awkward situation and said, "These people are all martial artists who do not want to help the wicked."

They defected from the bandit camp and followed me, abandoning darkness for light.

Please, sir, give them a chance.

Hong Baichuan looked at the group of bandits.

The bandits nodded vigorously, indicating their sincere intention to abandon darkness and embrace the light.

Hong Baichuan realized that Lin Feng wanted him to spare the lives of these people.

Hong Baichuan waved his hand, and a person walked out from behind him, carrying a bundle of red cloth strips embroidered with the Sword Sect's emblem.

Several members of the Sword Sect distributed red ribbons to the bandits, instructing them to tie the ribbons to their right arms.

Hong Baichuan said, "You have rendered meritorious service in assisting General Lin, so your punishment can be reduced by three degrees."

Even so, many of you will still lose your heads.

Now I'm giving you a chance.

Join us in attacking the bandits' lair, redeeming ourselves and achieving great deeds.

Perhaps it can even help me build a future.

The bandits looked at each other in bewilderment. The red ribbons were already tied to their right arms. Could they possibly say no?

If Lin Feng hadn't pleaded for them, Hong Baichuan would have killed them all.

Although these bandits surrendered, they are still a destabilizing factor.

He wouldn't waste manpower watching over these bandits.

Making them follow us and lead the way in battle is a way of putting waste to good use.

Several centurions among the bandits took the lead in expressing their stance.

"We are willing to follow the general to achieve great deeds."

The bandits all chimed in.

Hong Baichuan immediately dispersed the bandits and assigned them to twenty teams, putting them in charge of leading the way.

Lin Feng took off his clothes and unfolded them. "General, I have drawn a map of the bandit's main city. I hope it can be of assistance to you."

Last night, Lin Feng drew the map in his mind onto the lining of his clothes.

Hong Baichuan's eyes lit up when he saw the map. "Brother Lin, this is another great achievement!"

Hong Baichuan called over two map experts, and Lin Feng explained the important locations on the map to them.

Based on Lin Feng's explanation, the two quickly drew a map.

Lin Feng concluded by saying, "The central square of the bandit's main city is a snake pit, and there are countless venomous snakes inside."

The giant serpent that the Heavenly Serpent Gang relies on is right here. General, you must be careful.

Hong Baichuan nodded and had several copies of the map made and distributed to each team.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and then said, "There are many ordinary people in the city, which will affect the speed at which the army can wipe out the bandits."

"I have a way to save the general a lot of trouble."

"Oh? Brother Lin, please speak."

"Once we reach the bandits' main city, I can shout the Dragon Roar."

Ordinary people were forced to squat in the small square in the city, their hands covering their heads.

Whoever squats in the small square will have their life spared.

Hong Baichuan glanced at Lin Feng.

This person is quite kind-hearted; he wanted to save the lives of these ordinary people.

Hong Baichuan considered it carefully for a while and felt that Lin Feng's method was indeed feasible.

"Let's do as you say. Let's set off immediately without delay."

Hong Baichuan led the team forward at a rapid pace.

Zheng Tiejun's expression was not good.

Lin Feng stole the limelight the moment he got back.

But it doesn't matter, I'm his boss, so his achievements are my achievements.

If I accumulate some more military achievements later, becoming the city lord will be a sure thing.

Zheng Tiejun walked towards Lin Feng, Sun Yu, and the others, saying, "In a moment, you guys should be careful and not be greedy for credit or act rashly."

Lin Feng and the others immediately clasped their hands and said, "Thank you for your consideration, General!"

After Zheng Tiejun left, Lin Feng whispered to the others, "Come with me in a bit, we're going to the city to rob some good stuff."

Upon hearing this, the men's eyes widened immediately; robbing was much more interesting than fighting.
