28: Chapter 28 We've struck it rich!

In this brief upheaval, the Panshi Stockade's battle squad had already rushed to the front of the formation!

Kill!

Gao Feng gave an order, and the battle formation was activated!

Ten blade-and-shield soldiers growled as they formed an iron shield wall, like a moving city wall, slamming fiercely towards the few surviving Jianghu experts!

The spearmen followed closely behind, their long spears thrusting out like poisonous Dragons emerging from their cave, piercing precisely through the gaps in the shields.

These shaken Jianghu experts had never seen such disciplined military formation coordination and were instantly sent tumbling in disarray.

A man wielding a battle axe just wanted to swing his axe to hack, but the shield in front of him suddenly lifted upward, blocking his vision while three long spears pierced through his lower abdomen from below!

From the very beginning, the battle was a one-sided slaughter.

The only one who could cause trouble was that fearless "One Ear" Zhou Tong!

Come on! A bunch of rats hiding their heads and showing their tails!

Zhou Tong laughed wildly; he knew he would surely die today, which instead completely ignited his ferocity.

He brandished his heavy ghost-head saber and actually withstood the impact of the blade-and-shield formation. Wherever the blade passed, cold light gleamed. Two Panshi Stockade blade-and-shield soldiers were sent flying, shield and all, spitting blood and falling to the ground unable to rise!

How bold!

Gao Feng roared angrily and personally charged forward with his spear!

He no longer hid his strength. His Tier 2 Peak Qi and blood erupted without reservation, his bones crackled, and a powerful Aura soared into the sky!

Die!

Just at the moment when "One Ear" Zhou Tong hacked back two soldiers and his old strength was exhausted while new strength had not yet arisen, Gao Feng seized this fleeting opportunity!

The long spear in his hand was like a black lightning bolt cutting through the darkness, carrying unparalleled momentum as it met Zhou Tong's hastily defended ghost-head saber head-on!

Clang—!

A loud sound, even duller and louder than when the Tiger King collided with him earlier, rang out!

The long spear and the ghost-head saber collided fiercely!

Zhou Tong's already heavily injured body could no longer withstand this overwhelming force!

He only felt an irresistible force coming from the handle; the web between his thumb and index finger split on the spot, blood splattered, and the ghost-head saber that had accompanied him for many years could no longer be held and flew out of his hand!

In the next second, Gao Feng's long spear, like a poisonous snake flicking its tongue, pierced through his chest without any obstruction!

You... you all...

Zhou Tong lowered his head, disbelievingly looking at the spear tip that had passed through his chest, his eyes filled with unwillingness and confusion.

Even in death, he couldn't understand how such a well-equipped, strictly disciplined, and terrifying army could appear in these desolate mountains.

Gao Feng expressionlessly pulled out his spear, letting his corpse fall softly to the ground.

Just as everyone was surrounding and killing "One Ear" and the battle was nearing its end, a burst of rapid hoofbeats came from the direction of the mountain path.

Not good! Stockade Master! That pale-faced young man has run away! Skinny Monkey pointed into the distance and shouted anxiously.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the County Magistrates Young Master Zhang Yang, under the desperate cover of two loyal guards, seizing the gap in the earlier chaos, mounting the fastest and most magnificent steed, and fleeing desperately out of the mountains without looking back!

I'll go after him! Skinny Monkey said as he was about to move.

No need to chase! Gao Feng unexpectedly stopped him.

He looked at Zhang Yang's back, which was about to disappear, knowing that even if he chased, he couldn't catch up; the other party's horse was simply too fast!!

The battle ended.

The Panshi Stockade's soldiers began to skillfully clean up the battlefield, collect spoils of war, and bandage the wounded.

Gao Feng walked towards the dying Tiger King.

At this moment, the King of Beasts had completely lost the ability to resist. Its massive body lay in a pool of blood, its golden pupils dim and lusterless, with only weak breathing proving it was still alive.

Big Fool! Gao Feng called out.

Hey! Stockade Master! Big Fool carried his large iron hammer and trotted over happily.

Watch it, don't let it move around.

Big Fool roared and rushed up, smashing the ground next to the Tiger King's head with a series of "bang, bang, bang" strikes!

The huge vibration and noise made the already weak Tiger King completely afraid to move.

Gao Feng seized the opportunity to jump into the area, took out the specially prepared ox-tendon ropes soaked in tung oil, relied on his current strength and movement techniques to easily circle behind the Tiger King, and skillfully tied complex military knots, firmly binding this once arrogant King of Beasts into a huge "zongzi".

When the post-battle inventory results were delivered to Gao Feng, even he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat accelerate.

This harvest was astonishing, enough to make the Panshi Stockade reborn!

First, there was one live Tier 3 Tiger King, which was the greatest wealth!

Secondly, there were more than a dozen magnificent warhorses left behind by the Tiger Slaying Squad, as well as the fine weapons and armor on them!

Finally, and most directly, a heavy box was found in the package discarded by Zhang Yang.

Upon opening it, the gleam of gold, silver, and jewelry inside almost blinded everyone!

Roughly estimated, including those large-denomination silver notes, the total value was no less than several thousand taels!

We're rich! We're rich!

All the soldiers of the Panshi Stockade were plunged into unprecedented ecstasy!

However, Luo Shu, who was responsible for counting the property, took the ledger and walked quickly to Gao Feng's side. Her face did not have much joy, but was instead full of gravity.

Stockade Master, she said in a low, worried voice, "Zhang Yang has run away. Once he returns to Qinghe County, he will definitely add fuel to the fire and complain to his father. We... are equivalent to declaring war on the entire Qinghe County government in advance. Next, we must be prepared for the Government Soldiers to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression at any time."

Luo Shu's words were like a basin of cold water, instantly cooling the ecstatic atmosphere significantly.

Gao Feng walked out of the reveling crowd. He looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, then looked back at the mountain of spoils and the hopeful faces behind him. His eyes flashed with a crazy and resolute light.

What is there to fear! His voice was not loud, but exceptionally firm.

He ran away, which just goes to show that the Qinghe County Magistrate might still have powers we don't know about. Instead of waiting for him to gather his strength and come to attack us slowly, we might as well force him, making him have to come quickly!

He knew that from the moment Zhang Yang escaped, Panshi Stockade had no way out.

Passive defense means handing one's destiny to others, and in the end, one will only be trapped to death.

He and the entire stockade had been forced to the edge of a cliff.

But the scenery seen from the edge of a cliff is also the most magnificent!

Only by putting oneself in a desperate situation can one find a way to survive!

A more crazy and bolder plan had already taken shape in his heart!
