Astral Apostle
/ Astral Apostle Chapter 350
At this moment, Commander Deng sensed that their morale was not high and immediately shouted,
"With the five of us holding the line, dealing with this ferocious person will be easy. What are you panicking for!"
Hearing his stern lecture, the soldiers barely managed to stabilize their morale.
Commander Deng's expression did not change, but deep inside, even he felt helpless about the situation.
At that time, when Magistrate Lin ordered the five of them to attack, Zhou Jing had yet to finish fighting the He Residence, so the information he obtained was limited.
Thinking that there was only one murderer, coupled with the fact that there were hundreds of servants and guards from the He Residence, Commander Deng only hurriedly ordered some soldiers to set off. There were less than a hundred of them, so he felt that Zhou Jing would very likely die in the He Residence. He only wanted to rush over and contribute before the matter ended.
However, when he arrived at the He Residence, which was in trouble, and heard from the people about Zhou Jing's performance, he realized that things were not simple. To be safe, he sent someone to ask for help again and brought more soldiers over. He specially instructed them to bring a few teams of archers.
However, Zhou Jing did not stop moving. He turned around and attacked the Huang residence. Commander Deng did not have the time to wait for reinforcements and could only bring the hundreds of soldiers around him to move quickly.
However, he was confident in his martial prowess, and he had the help of the four experts from the army, Hu, Xie, Dong, and Xue. In addition, he felt that Zhou Jing was most likely exhausted after fighting for a long time, so he still felt that he could definitely capture him this time.
"Huh? Another group of people?"
Zhou Jing knocked down another member of the Huang residence who was luxuriously dressed before frowning. He looked at the map radar and realized that a new batch of red dots had appeared around him. A portion of them were surrounding the entire Huang residence from the outside, while the other dozens were quickly approaching.
The range of the map radar was not too large, and it did not differentiate between friend and foe. It only showed the people it knew as green dots, and the unknown as red dots.
"It should be the soldiers. They're finally here. There aren't many people…"
Zhou Jing's eyes flashed, before he turned around and ran past a few courtyards. Following the map radar, he quickly found Gao Yun and Fang Zhen, who were also busy doing the deed, and met up with them.
"Brother, are we retreating?"
Fang Zhen wiped the blood off his cheek and asked.
Zhou Jing shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The officials are here and are surrounding the Huang residence. There's also a group of pursuers who have already entered the residence. The two of you, follow me to fight them and test the quality of these officials."
Fang Zhen had no objections and immediately agreed.
Gao Yun, on the other hand, hesitated slightly. After all, he used to have a clean background and instinctively did not dare to go against the officials. However, when he thought of the current situation of the three of them, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
At this moment, Gao Yun suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, I just interrogated a few people from the Huang residence. This old man from the Huang family is not at home. He seems to have gone to the Spring Rain Restaurant for a banquet."
"Unfortunately, this old dog escaped!"
Fang Zhen was indignant about the result.
Zhou Jing frowned as well. However, he quickly relaxed, "That might not be the case… But let's talk about it later. Follow me to meet the soldiers first."
The two of them nodded in agreement.
The three of them walked forward and quickly bumped into the officers led by Commander Deng in a backyard.
As soon as he saw the three of them, Commander Deng's eyes lit up as he shouted,
"Criminals, don't you dare leave!"
Many soldiers immediately surrounded them. Hu, Xie, Dong, Xue, and the guards each held their weapons and charged forward. Commander Deng also held a steel spear as he pounced towards the trio.
When two opposing sides met, there was naturally nothing to say. They attacked as soon as they met.
"Good! Let Grandpa try and see what's different about the Imperial Court's troops!"
Zhou Jing's tone was cold as he thrust out his spear, immediately shattering the breastplate of a soldier, sending him flying and smashing into the flower bed in the house.
At this moment, Aide Xie held two steel whips and rushed in front of Zhou Jing.
"You're that Death Beckoning Yama King, Chen Feng? Eat my whip!"
His two whips spun, whistling through the air like thunderclaps.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Zhou Jing parried with his spear and blocked Xie Jie's dancing steel whips one after another. His body did not move at all. With a sudden shake of his hand, the spear shaft bent into an arc as the tip of the spear popped out.
Bam!
Xie Jie blocked with his two whips, but his expression suddenly changed. His entire body retreated, and his arms trembled non-stop. He could barely hold on to his weapons. The webbing between his thumb and index finger had already ruptured, and blood was flowing out.
"What kind of strength is this?!"
After just one move, he almost lost all his strength. Aide Xie could not believe his situation.
Although he had heard the surrounding people talk about Chen Feng's ferocity, he did not feel much about it. Now that he had personally fought him, he finally understood how terrifying this Yama King was.
"Brother Xie, I'll help you!"
At this moment, Officer Dong and Officer Xue each held a broadsword as they led the soldiers up from both sides to attack Zhou Jing.
Seeing this, Aide Xie naturally could not retreat. He focused and joined the battle again, fighting with the two of them.
Zhou Jing faced them without a change in expression, his murderous aura rapidly increasing.
On the other side, Fang Zhen intercepted Coach Hu. One used an iron headed staff, while the other used a steel blade. They clashed.
Fang Zhen was known as the Mountain Flipping Grand Duke. Naturally, he was not weak and was good at staff techniques and whip techniques. However, as an expert in the army, Instructor Hu practiced his saber techniques every day. His martial arts were also extraordinary.
The two of them were evenly matched, and for a moment, there was no clear winner.
Not far away, Gao Yun faced off against Commander Deng. The red-tasseled spear and the steel spear clashed like two pythons, the spear shafts crackling from the stress.
The two of them both used spears. Gao Yun's spear technique was domineering, and Commander Deng's moves were stern and precise. They both used the exquisite spear techniques they were good at. The entire arena was filled with spear shadows. In the blink of an eye, more than ten moves had passed. It was a fierce battle, difficult to determine the winner.
"This person's spearmanship is extraordinary!"
Commander Deng felt that it was quite strenuous for him to continue like this. His heart could not help but tremble.
He did not expect Chen Feng's accomplice to have such superb martial arts. This person was definitely someone famous in the martial world!
"Who are you?!" Commander Deng could not help but shout.
"We'll talk about other things if you can survive my spear!"
Gao Yun snorted coldly and did not introduce himself. The red tasseled spear in his hand became increasingly sharp, and spear light bloomed everywhere.
Commander Deng's expression darkened as he prepared to put in his 100%.
Swish!
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly flew over from the side, passing through the gap between the two of them and crashing into the courtyard wall.
Bang! It was as if he had been hit by a rotten tomato. A large amount of bright red splattered on the white wall.
Gao Yun and Commander Deng were both shocked. They hurriedly took two steps back and turned around.
When he saw the figure clearly, Commander Deng's expression warped.
"Brother Xie!"
The person who flew out was Aide Xie. He hit his head against the wall and died.
Wasn't he fighting Chen Feng with the Officers? How long had it been since they fought, and he was already killed?!
Commander Deng held his breath and had a bad feeling. He hurriedly looked in Zhou Jing's direction.
What he saw almost made his heart stop.
Officer Dong and Xue had already died on the spot. One of them had his head pierced through, and the other had been smashed into two. Their deaths were tragic.
At the same time, the soldiers who were besieging Zhou Jing had also fallen. There were not many left, and the rest were panicking.
Only Zhou Jing acted as if nothing had happened, as if he had only done something insignificant.
Commander Deng broke out in cold sweat at this point.
The five of them had sparred in private before. He knew the martial arts skills of Aide Xie and the other two. Even if they fought personally, they would need at least 30 to 40 moves to take down one person.
And the combined strength of these three was not something that could be compared to a one-on-one battle. Even he did not dare to say that he could win… But in just a short period of time, the three of them had been killed by Chen Feng just like that?!
Commander Deng could not help but feel terror.
Just how high was this Death Beckoning Yama King's martial arts?
He had already overestimated the man as much as possible, but he did not expect his judgment to still be wrong… This person's rumor of fighting one against a hundred was indeed wrong. It was not an exaggeration, but rather than the amount measured was grossly understated. He was simply invincible!
"Run!"
Commander Deng made a prompt decision. He abandoned the soldiers and jumped off the wall to escape.
Gao Yun was also stunned by Zhou Jing's skills. Seeing Commander Deng's reaction, he quickly came back to his senses, wanting to stop him from jumping out of the courtyard and running away, but failed due to the latter's quick reactions.
On the other side, Instructor Hu saw that the situation was not good and his heart trembled. He started to have thoughts of escaping as well, which caused his moves to mess up and a gap in his defenses to appear. Fang Zhen saw an opportunity and hit him on the shoulder, breaking his bones.
"Arghh!" Instructor Hu let out a scream of agony, even as his weapon left his hand and he fell to the ground. He was pressed to the ground by Fang Zhen with his staff and could not move.
When the remaining officers and soldiers saw that the lead officers were either dead or had fled, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and scattered in defeat.
"The army of the Imperial Court is nothing much!" Fang Zhen snorted.
Zhou Jing did not respond, nor did he chase after them. Instead, he walked to Instructor Hu's side, grabbed his collar, and pulled him in front of him.
"Do you want to live or die?"
"Good man! I'm just following orders. Please spare my life!"
Instructor Hu's eyes widened as he hurriedly begged for mercy. He regretted getting involved in this mess.
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows slightly,
"Then you'd better cooperate…"
