Chapter 88

  Mengzi had always looked down on mountain bandits, but today he discovered for the first time that being a bandit wasn't an easy thing to do.

  After all, it's doing something bad, the surroundings are quiet and dark, not a glimmer of light. Every step on the ground seems to be pressing down on my heartbeat, except for the sound of my own heart pounding wildly, there is no other sound around.

  He came to the granary in the dark, looked around and found no one, then took out a flint from his bosom. When he struck the flint, the spark it produced illuminated a pale face.

  Burn it, burn it... Burning will make it clean. Thinking of the toad village, where there was no food and they wandered aimlessly in the bitter cold, freezing and starving to death, Meng Ziyun's heart suddenly felt a strange thrill.

  And now he is very close to success.

  Crunch...

  Crunch...

  Gagaga

  Again and again, tonight my hands are shaking badly, can't light it up.

  Suddenly, a flame burst into brightness, and in the completely dark environment, it was so dazzling.

  Right behind, another torch... In an instant, Meng Ziyun was surrounded by the scorching light. Qin Man, Lin Shaoyu, Sun Jiu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others appeared around him with torches in hand.

  Against the flames, a figure emerged from darkness into light, wrapped in a large cloak, with long winds blowing his black hair up.

  "Is Meng Shaoye short of fire? Do you want me to lend you some?"

  A beam of fire illuminated the mountain stronghold, weaving a dense net that was impenetrable to the wind. This net seemed to have been spread out for a long time, just waiting for me to throw myself into it.

  At this moment, Mengzi thought of a story his adoptive father had once told him.

  During the Spring and Autumn period, Zheng Zhuang Gong had a younger brother named Gong Shu Duan. Their mother, Jiang Shi, doted on Gong Shu Duan while disliking Zhuang Gong. Later, Gong Shu Duan's behavior became increasingly arrogant and overbearing, but Zhuang Gong did not punish him. It wasn't until Gong Shu Duan attempted to rebel that Zhuang Gong took action and eliminated him in the name of justice.

  Everyone praises Duke Zhuang of Zheng for his filial piety, but some people also say that if Duke Zhuang of Zheng had restrained his younger brother earlier, there would not have been the rebellion by Gongzi Duan later on.

  Indulging you is just so that one day I can kill you with a clear conscience.

  Mengzi shouted with his head held high, and from between his teeth burst out three words: "Cheng Da Lei!"

  With a fierce determination, Mengzi Cloud grasped his steel knife and pounced on Cheng Dairen. Today, even if it meant risking his own life, he was determined to slaughter this human-faced beast.

  Cheng Dairen's eyes revealed a sympathetic gaze, and he gently shook his head.

  "Many injustices... will ultimately destroy themselves."

  Just as the steel knife was about to strike, Cheng Dalai dodged and drew his sword from his waist, forcing Meng Ziyun back.

  This sword was left by Li Xingzhai when he departed, and it's actually the first time that Cheng Dairen has used it.

  With one sword, Meng Ziyun was forced to retreat, and in the blink of an eye, the two had already exchanged seven or eight moves. Meng Ziyun was shocked and bewildered in his heart, last time he took action, he could kick Cheng Darui flying with one foot, how did Cheng Darui become so powerful in such a short period of time?

  After Shanzhai upgraded, Cheng Daire also leveled up, with significant improvements in speed, strength and reaction.

  At this time, he was no weaker than Mengzi Yun.

  "No need for the master to take action, I'll take care of this villain."

  Qin Man took the sword and separated the two men, taking Meng Ziyun from Cheng Darui's hands. Cheng Darui was not good at using a sword after all, and continuing to fight with Meng Ziyun would be a bit of a stretch. Besides, he didn't need to take action today anyway.

  The fight didn't last more than three rounds, and Meng Ziyun was defeated, his body falling to the ground, but he still tightly grasped the steel knife in his hand.

  In the flickering flames, a pair of angry eyes became clear. Even the former Liu family members now hated him to the bone, for Meng Ziyun had committed a grave taboo today. As the saying goes, "Food is heaven for the people", how many people toil for just one meal, yet Meng Ziyun wanted to burn down the granary today, which would lead to the extinction of all.

  Hate me then, hate me thoroughly. If I don't die today, I will surely kill every single one of you tomorrow, cutting you all down to the last man.

  Today is already a dead end, with no way out in heaven and no gate on earth. Wanting to escape, how easy can it be?

  His eyes fixed on the surroundings, he saw that he was not far from the entrance of the dungeon. Meng Ziyun suddenly stood up and rushed towards the dungeon regardless of his companions. One man fought desperately, ten men could hardly stop him, and he really broke into the dungeon without regard for his own life.

  The dungeon door was heavily locked, apparently he had locked it from the inside.

  Everyone was confused about what happened and wanted to escape, but some people voluntarily went to the dungeon.

  Cheng Darui was the first to react and shouted loudly: "Quickly, don't let him release that monster."

  Meng Ziyun panted and rushed into the dungeon, Du Mao was sleeping soundly, seeing Meng Ziyun holding a steel knife, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

  "What, have you come to kill me?"

  "I'll let you out, you save me a life."

  Three consecutive slashes on the iron chain of the locked door, clang, the iron gate fell to the ground, and the prison door was wide open.

  Du Muoyi burst out laughing: "Surname Cheng, I'm coming out!"

  Cheng Dalai was just about to let everyone rush in when they heard a loud "bang" and the prison gate was kicked open from the inside.

  Everyone only saw a disheveled and tattered monster standing at the door, as if it was supporting the sky and holding up the earth, letting out loud laughter.

  "Programmer, where are you? I'm coming to kill you."

  Cheng Dalai was shocked in his heart, and Meng Ziyun really let this monster out. Now the mountain stronghold can only fight with about fifty people, encountering this hundred-man enemy's fierce warrior, fearing that there is not much chance of winning.

  "Everyone quickly disperse, don't rush forward to die for nothing." Cheng Dalai hastily shouted. For someone like Du Mao, killing seven or eight people was not much more difficult than chopping vegetables.

  The crowd dispersed, and some people went to the warehouse to fetch bows and arrows. If you encounter such a person, it's best not to engage in close combat with him.

  At the critical moment, Qin Man stood out with a large gun in hand.

  "Hah, I recognize you, last time we didn't fight, this time let's settle who wins or loses." Du Mao.

  "Good." Qin Man shook his gun body, as if a black dragon was dancing in the air.

  Du Mou's eyes swept around in a circle, and with one swift kick, he kicked the wooden door of the dungeon behind him. With three or two kicks, half of the wooden door was torn off the wall.

  The two sides stood facing each other, like two wild beasts confronting each other, searching for the weak point of the opponent and waiting to deliver a fatal blow.

  A bandit and a tyrant, the mountain tiger collides with the downhill tiger, the sea dragon meets the cloud dragon. It seems that this battle should have happened sooner or later, two heroes meet, dragon and tiger fight.

  Cheng Darui also had someone bring over his own Ghost-Faced Axe, saying that at a critical moment, these three axes could also come in handy.

  In the blink of an eye, Du Mao and Qin Man were already engaged in a fierce battle. Du Mao wielded the door panel with great force, opening and closing it heavily, as if the massive wooden door was weightless in his hands. Qin Man used the Plum Blossom Spear, each thrust bursting forth like blooming flowers, every petal hiding a deadly intent.

  Cheng Daire carried a large axe and patrolled around, to be honest, he couldn't help much. It wasn't just him, Lin Shaoyu was also carrying a gun, unsure of where to go.

  The whole mountain stronghold is brightly lit, tonight a fierce battle between dragon and tiger, the fight is intense and hard to distinguish who will win.
