The previous Mountain-Opening Axe was indeed overwhelmingly powerful, even Lu HaiKong himself hadn't anticipated the sheer terror his axe strike would unleash.
It was well-known that Hu Yinxiong's iron rod was as thick as a bowl, yet Lu HaiKong's axe cleaved through both man and rod in a single strike. One could only imagine the terrifying power of such a blow.
However, such power came at a cost. After Lu HaiKong's mighty axe swing, Yinxiong was indeed split open, but Lu HaiKong's own Ornate Battle Axe, which he had only acquired recently, now had a gaping crack in it, rendering it unusable.
Moreover, after Lu HaiKong's devastating strike, his inner strength, which had just surpassed 500, was instantly depleted. The once vibrant and powerful Lu HaiKong now felt as if his energy had been completely drained, leaving him unable to continue fighting.
At this moment, as Lu HaiKong's body went limp, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Fortunately, he hadn't been foolish enough to try out this move earlier. Had he done so, he would have ended up in this state immediately after mastering it. If he had been eager to test it out right after his epiphany, Lu HaiKong might have already been six feet under by now.
Thinking of this, Lu HaiKong once again praised his own wise and timely decision-making. He had just eliminated Yinxiong with a single axe strike, and Wang Chao MaHan and the others had firmly seized control of the battle. The situation couldn't have been better.
Lu HaiKong even noticed that Yinxiong seemed to have dropped a few items upon his demise, likely secret manuals. As Lu HaiKong was about to approach and investigate, Zhang Feng, the young man, had already arrived behind Lu HaiKong, holding a dagger in his hand.
"Boss, you look pretty battered. Was the power of that move too great, and the cost too high? Thank goodness it turned out this way. Otherwise, I might have faced some trouble today."
Zhang Feng pressed the dagger in his hand against Lu HaiKong's back, leaning in close and speaking with a mischievous smile by his ear.
"Zhang Feng, what are you up to?" Lu HaiKong exclaimed, realizing the situation had taken a turn for the worse. Just as victory seemed within reach, Zhang Feng had emerged with this unexpected move. Lu HaiKong's mood soured at this unexpected development.
"No rush, no rush. First, let your men clean up the aftermath, then we'll talk." Zhang Feng pressed the dagger in his hand forward, its tip touching Lu HaiKong's back.
This fellow's eyes were fixed on Wang Chao MaHan and the others, revealing an unconcealed sense of possessiveness. How wonderful it would be if such powerful subordinates were his own.
Wang Chao MaHan and the others were unaware that Lu HaiKong had been taken hostage at this moment, as they continued to surround and suppress the members of Black Wind Fort.
Despite their overwhelming advantage, it took only a few minutes for Wang Chao MaHan and his men to eliminate everyone in Black Wind Fort, except for Li Xiong. The battle concluded, but Lu HaiKong's crisis was just beginning.
"Powerful, truly powerful! Boss, I must say, I'm genuinely impressed by you. In less than half a month, you've managed to cultivate ordinary bandits to this level. It's truly incredible. However, I think that since you're so skilled at fostering subordinates, how about giving these ten men to me? What do you say?"
As Zhang Feng spoke, he stepped forward with the dagger in his hand, moving it a few inches closer: "From what I understand, followers like these should be transferable, right? I don't recall it incorrectly."
"You're not wrong about that, but what makes you think you can take them from Wang Chao MaHan and the others?
"Lu Hai Kong, what are you up to?" Zhang Feng asked, his dagger pressing further into Lu Hai Kong's back, drawing a trickle of crimson blood. The intense pain caused Lu Hai Kong's face to pale.
Lu Hai Kong was filled with hatred. Although he had never trusted Zhang Feng and Li Yi from the start and had always been cautious of them, even going as far as to drive a wedge between them before his departure, he never imagined he would still fall for their scheme. But if they thought this was enough to make him surrender, they were being too naive.
"Wang Chao Ma Han, arrest this man!" Lu Hai Kong ordered decisively, causing Zhang Feng's face to change momentarily before regaining its composure.
"As expected, the Boss is indeed the Boss. Even at a time like this, he remains so domineering and unyielding," Zhang Feng mocked, his face devoid of any fear.
"But I knew you wouldn't surrender easily. It doesn't matter anyway!"
As Zhang Feng finished his sentence, rows upon rows of bandits, who had seemingly vanished, suddenly emerged, surrounding Wang Chao Ma Han and his men.
"How is this possible? How can you command these bandits?" Lu Hai Kong exclaimed, but soon calmed down. "You don't think these guys can harm Wang Chao Ma Han, do you?"
He was well aware of the strength of the bandits in this fort. Most of them were weak, with all attributes at level 2. No matter how many there were, it wouldn't make a difference.
"Wang Chao Ma Han, stand still on the orders of the Fort Chief!"
A voice, somewhat familiar yet strange, rang out, causing a smug smile to appear on Zhang Feng's face. "They can't harm you, but what if Wang Damaizi joins them? You must know that you are all members of this fort. Although you, Boss, are unaffected due to your outsider status, Dynasty and Ma Han are different. They are technically subordinates of Wang Damaizi, who has the authority to command them."
In the 1619th chapter of the 1st volume of the 1st book!
As Zhang Feng's words echoed in Lu Hai Kong's ear, Wang Damaizi appeared.
"You didn't expect that, did you? This fort actually has three smart NPCs, and Wang Damaizi is one of them."
Seeing Wang Damaizi, Lu Hai Kong instantly understood the source of Zhang Feng's audacity. Despite Lu Hai Kong's absolute strength, Zhang Feng still chose to betray him.
During Lu Hai Kong's absence, the fort's affairs had become far more complicated than he had anticipated. Not only had Li Yi and Li Xiong joined forces, but Zhang Feng and Wang Damaizi had also formed an alliance, and both combinations were after his life.
This realization made Lu Hai Kong understand that he should never let his guard down around outsiders.
"What can I say? You guys are really unlucky!"
As Lu Hai Kong's words landed, Wang Chao turned his head sharply, and with precise aim, he loosed an arrow that pierced Zhang Feng's chest. Immediately, Wang Ma Han and his men sprang into action, rushing to Lu Hai Kong's side to protect him.
"It seems you didn't know that we had already defected from this fort before," Lu Hai Kong said, looking at Zhang Feng, who lay beside him, an arrow in his chest, a look of disbelief on his face.
