Chapter 25: Fire Burns Across the Mountain

  The Hengdao Gang bandits were notorious for their brutality, yet they never came to rob the town of Hengshan. This was because, as the saying goes, "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow." After all, the bandits also needed to replenish their supplies and enjoy themselves.

  So although it is close to the bandits' lair, Hengshan Town is extremely safe. Merchants coming and going also don't worry about being robbed. And after the bandits have money, they will also come here to spend lavishly.

  Lin Feng walked into the town, turned a big circle in the small town, and then walked into a wine building.

  After making the rounds, more than a dozen gold coins had been spent, but inside the jade pendant space, several earthen jars had appeared, all filled with fire oil. All the fire oil sold in the entire Hengshan Town had already been bought by him.

  These flammable oils weigh over 10,000 catties, but placed in the jade pendant space, Lin Feng can't feel any weight at all. This is the wonder of the spatial container. No matter what it is, no matter how heavy it is, as long as it's stored inside the spatial container, for Lin Feng, there's no weight at all.

  Buying fire oil was the idea of Zhuang Lao, he said that to eliminate all mountain bandits, setting a big fire is the best way. As for Lin Feng himself, he couldn't think of such a vicious plan.

  Of course, Lin Feng did not rule out this idea either. The bandits of the Horizontal Blade Gang must all die to comfort Zhao Shu's spirit.

  "Little brother, what can I get for you?" The waiter in the hotel smiled and greeted Lin Feng as he came in.

  "Cut me five catties of beef and bring two large buns." Lin Feng ordered, sitting down in the seat by the window.

  "Alright!" The shopkeeper replied.

  After a while, the beef and flatbread were served. Lin Feng picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly and carefully, eating very seriously.

  Tonight there is a big battle, at this moment, he must supplement some energy as much as possible. The battle of life and death, physical strength is equally important.

  "What a heavy killing intent!" In another corner of the hotel, a tall and handsome young man was drinking by himself, his eyes scanning Lin Feng, but his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  But Lin Feng didn't notice at all that the young man was sizing him up, and continued to focus on dealing with the food in front of him.

  Lin Feng finished the last bit of food, thought for a moment, and then ordered ten catties of beef and five large pancakes. He asked the waiter to pack them up and then settled the bill and left the wine house.

  Ten kilograms of beef and five large flatbreads, it was a big package. Lin Feng held it in his hand and walked out of the hotel door, and this package disappeared instantly!

  These foods were naturally stored inside the Jade Pendant Space by him.

  Looking around and seeing no one noticing, Lin Feng directly headed out of town.

  "Space container!" The young man inside the hotel, looking at Lin Feng through the window, raised an eyebrow slightly.

  "This little guy... is quite interesting!" The young man smiled slightly as he watched Lin Feng's receding back.

  "It seems there's going to be a show!"

  "I Qin Hao love to join in the fun, haha!"

  The young man stood up and said loudly, "Waiter, bring me the bill!"

  ……

  Not far from Hengshan Town is Mount Hengshan itself.

  Mount Heng stands alone as a peak, surrounded by flat land, with only this mountain rising from the ground. The lower part of Mount Heng is slightly gentle, while the upper part is extremely steep. The entire mountain is covered with dense vegetation, making it an easy place to defend and difficult to attack.

  At the top of Mount Heng there is a large stronghold, which is the lair of the Hengdao Gang.

  Inside the stronghold, lanterns shone brightly. On top of the watchtower, archers held their bows at the ready, vigilantly gazing out into the darkness outside. Teams of swordsmen patrolled within the stronghold, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire mountain fortress.

  In the center of the mountain stronghold, inside the most spacious house, Han Meng paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, a gloomy expression on his face. Deputy Leader Du Chong sat there, his eyebrows also tightly furrowed.

  It's been more than two days since I returned to Hengshan. Thinking about the experience of two days ago, Han Meng still feels like he's dreaming.

  He and Du Chong abandoned their men and fled first, and after escaping the dense forest, they were also greatly relieved. Being able to escape with his life from Lin Heng's hands was enough to boast about in the mountain bandit circle!

  As for those light cavalry under his command, he didn't even think about being able to escape back.

  However, these light cavalry escaped without a single hair harmed and surprisingly, not one man was missing!

  This didn't make Han Meng happy, but instead made him even more tense.

  Why would Lin Heng let these people go? This doesn't make any sense at all!

  Han Meng thought and thought, and the only possibility he could think of was "catching everything at once"!

  Lin Heng is going to put these people back and then catch them all at once! He wants to use this method to avenge the massacre of Blackstone Town.

  To counter Lin Heng's attack, Han Meng also racked his brains to think of many ways. The entire Hengshan has been on high alert for several days, and no mountain bandits are allowed to go down the mountain.

  "Even if we win this time and defeat Lin Heng, the Horizontal Blade Society will still suffer heavy losses. To recover our strength, who knows how many more years it will take!"

  At this time, Han Meng also secretly regretted why he listened to Wang Lang's words and provoked Lin Heng, a fierce god!

  "Wang Lang! Wang Lang!" Han Meng's face was gloomy, gritting his teeth and saying, "If nothing happens this time, I will go down the mountain and chop you father and son into ten thousand pieces!"

  "Big brother, it's almost three days already! Lin Heng shouldn't be coming anymore, right?" Du Chong said cautiously, "If we continue like this, the brothers will probably not be able to hold on!"

  "We must hold on even if we can't!" Han Meng stopped in his tracks, furious, "If Lin Heng has arrived, our only chance is to fight with all our might! If he sneaks up on us and breaks through one by one, we'll have no choice but to die!"

  "Yes, big brother!" Du Chong nodded. He didn't dare argue with Han Meng, and could only secretly sigh to himself.

  "Go and wake up the brothers! Our Hengdao Gang is also a foundation for several generations, it can't be destroyed like this!" Han Meng waved his hand and said irritably.

  Du nodded silently and left the room.

  "If this goes on, I'll be dead before Lin Heng comes to my door!" Du Chong shook his head as he left the room and walked listlessly into the stockade, starting to make his rounds.

  ……

  Outside Dazhai, two scouts from the Hengdao gang were lurking in the bushes, vigilantly watching the forest in the darkness of night.

  Suddenly a figure flashed by, and a handsome young man appeared in front of the two, with a hint of cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.

  The two were shocked, opening their mouths to shout, when the young man swung his fists and heavily pounded them on the back of their necks!

  A casual punch had already shattered the throats of both men!

  Two scouts let out a low, husky sound from their throats and fell backwards. The young man gazed at the not-too-distant brightly lit stockade, took a deep breath, and muttered: "It's already the thirteenth wave of scouts!"

  "This Han Meng is really cautious!"

  "But caution is also useless! You are all doomed to die tonight!"

  Lin Feng's foot touched the ground lightly, like a ghost, and he quietly slipped towards the big village. The archers on the arrow tower were looking at the gate outside, but they didn't notice Lin Feng's figure at all.

  This is the benefit of having strong perceptual abilities, Lin Feng can clearly see the direction of each archer's line of sight, and make the correct response. The route he took was exactly the blind spot of everyone's line of sight.

  Soon after reaching the outside of the village wall, Lin Feng drifted into the big village like a wisp of smoke and disappeared.

  "This kid's got some attitude!"

  Outside Dazhai, a tall and handsome young man appeared, looking in the direction where Lin Feng had disappeared, with a hint of an enchanting smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "Go take a look!" The young man's body flashed, like a large bird taking to the air, and in the next instant, he had already fallen into the Great Village.

  ……

  Lin Feng entered the mountain stronghold without anyone noticing. His gaze swept around, and he instantly felt two extremely powerful auras.

  One of them in the hall, Lin Feng could clearly see that it was Du Chong, the deputy leader of the Horizontal Blade Sect. The other one inside the room, without a doubt, was Han Meng!

  Lin Feng waved his hand, and a jar of fire oil flew out of the Jade Pendant space, landing on the edge of the stockade wall. Then, with a flash of his body, he disappeared into the night again.

  ……

  "It seems like someone just passed by!" A mountain bandit who was on patrol suddenly stopped in his tracks and said uncertainly.

  "Is someone there? Where?" Several other mountain bandits were startled and shouted in disorder, brandishing their horizontal knives.

  Several people looked around for a moment and found nothing. A mountain bandit said: "Should we report to the leader?"

  "Never mind! False alarm, no one reported anything wrong, do you want to die?!" Another mountain bandit said, "Yesterday that brother was mistaken, he reported to the leader and wasn't he beheaded?"

  "Let's go!" Several people shook their heads and continued to patrol forward. It's better to have one less thing than one more, the master is in a bad mood, no one wants to find trouble for themselves.

  In the shadows, Lin Feng appeared and smiled coldly again, waving his hand once more. Another can of gasoline flew out and landed in a corner.

  Then his figure flashed and disappeared again.

  ……

  "Finally done!" Lin Feng placed the last can of gasoline under the arrow tower in the center of the village, muttering to himself.

  Then he flashed his body and climbed up the arrow tower like a monkey.

  There were five archers in the arrow tower, all holding hard bows, and even a bed crossbow was placed in the center!

  Crossbows are contraband, and although the Luoyun Sect wouldn't bother with these mountain bandits, if any of their dens were found to have such weapons, the Luoyun Sect would annihilate them instantly.

  This ballista looks like it was just set up, probably dragged out of the warehouse, and the Cross Saber Society also went to great lengths for this battle. This ballista has been hidden for who knows how long, but finally came in handy.

  Lin Feng suddenly appeared inside the arrow tower, holding a dark long knife in his hand. The five archers were shocked and before they could even sound the alarm, the knife flashed and incredibly cut off all five people at the waist!

  This long knife is also Lin Heng's work. The entire blade is black, and when it is used in the dark of night, there will be no gleam of light at all.

  Lin Feng saw the bed crossbow and was also startled. This bed crossbow used giant arrows that were at least one zhang long, as thick as a child's arm, and the arrowhead gleamed with a faint blue light, obviously coated with deadly poison.

  The shooting speed of this bed crossbow far exceeds the speed at which a sixth-level strongman of Tiger Fist shoots with the Celestial Star Bow. The attack of these giant arrows is also unstoppable for a sixth-level strongman of Tiger Fist.

  Lin Feng swung his long sword and completely destroyed the bed crossbow, only then did he let out a breath of relief.

  He reached out and grabbed it, and the longbow made of yellow poplar wood was in his hand.

  Three long arrows flew out of the jade pendant space, and the arrowheads were held in his hand.

  In an instant, the arrow emitted a faint red glow.

  "Go!" Lin Feng shouted in a low voice, drew his bow and shot three arrows, which flew swiftly into the darkness of night!

  "Pong!" "Pong!" "Pong!"

  After three soft sounds, a huge fire burst into the sky at the place where the arrow fell, engulfing the three arrow towers above!

  Without any hesitation, Lin Feng took out three long arrows again, imbued them with fire attribute energy and shot them out in a flash of lightning, landing in three different directions.

  The three arrow towers burst into fierce flames again.

  A barrel of fire oil over a hundred kilograms, the raging flames were extremely fierce, the arrow tower was burned down in an instant, and the archers inside were wrapped in the fierce flames, wailing miserably.

  "Someone!"

  "There it is!"

  The mountain bandits were in an uproar, and amidst the raging flames that reached the sky, many people saw Lin Feng on the central arrow tower, and suddenly they all shouted in a flurry.

  Lin Feng's face was set, and a string of scorching arrows shot out one by one, quickly igniting the previously placed fire oil. In an instant, the entire village had become a sea of flames!

  Du Chong was patrolling in the big village when flames rose, and he rushed over to find Lin Feng on the central arrow tower.

  Seeing the cold and cruel look on the young boy's face, Du Chong exclaimed: "You're not Lin Heng!"

  "Listen clearly, I am Lin Feng!" With a final burst of flame oil, Lin Feng put away his Huang Yang wooden longbow and said proudly.
