Chapter 55: The "Great Gift" for Xu Chu

  ♂?,,

  Fang fell to the ground, his body and face covered in mud, how miserable he looked.

  He wanted to get up, but the fall just now was too severe, his whole body felt like it had been broken into several pieces, and every slight movement seemed to make him feel like he was going to collapse in unbearable pain.

  Meng Fang struggled to lift his head, his piercing gaze cutting through the raging flames, and what he saw was a figure in pure white, as if wrapped in frost, Liu Feng. At this moment, those knife-like eyes were also staring at him without moving.

  Meng Fang suddenly woke up with a start and only then realized that Liu Feng, whom he had suspected and distrusted, now actually wanted him dead.

  "This smells awful—"

  A bellyful of resentment had not yet been vented, when behind him, the man and horse formed an iron tower-like giant, carrying a force of rapid collision, like a collapsing mountain peak, heavily crushing his back.

  With a crisp, cracking sound, the bones on Mo Fang's back all broke, the horse hoof shattered his spine and deeply embedded itself in him. The five organs in his abdominal cavity were instantly crushed into pulp under the massive impact. Rolling out of Mo Fang's mouth was a mixture of blood and various internal fluids.

  Witnessing Mei Fang being trampled to death by Xu Zhu's war horse, the pent-up anger that had been accumulating for a long time finally found an outlet, and at this moment, Liu Feng felt a sense of relief.

  The trampled Mo Fang was not under Xu Zhu's words, and he, who had reined in his horse and stood up, looked at the young man on the other side of the fire wall with a surprised gaze. His iron-cast face twitched slightly, and his black eyes flashed with fierce flames.

  At this moment, the pair of eyes were staring tightly at Liu Feng, and the gaze made people feel uneasy all over, as if an invisible knife was cutting through Liu Feng's nerves mercilessly.

  This is Xu Chu's power!

  Recalling the past, Liu Feng made a great effort to keep his spirit calm, looking straight into Xu Zhu's eyes and saying calmly: "Tiger Marquis, it's been a long time."

  "Little kid, didn't expect you to still be alive." Xu Chu's Adam's apple rolled like a rolling bead, with a hint of unexpectedness hidden in his disdainful tone.

  Liu Feng smiled faintly: "I should thank General Hu for showing mercy, it seems that I and General Hu really have a good affinity."

  "There are only two kinds of people who have a fate with me." Xu Chu's cold and ruthless gaze gradually accumulated killing intent, "One is friend, the other is enemy. Friends can get drunk and eat meat, while enemies..."

  Xu Zhu did not finish speaking, but instead spread out his arms and revealed the bright star-like elephant nose knife. Liu Feng would never forget that weapon which had caused him a month of painful suffering. This silent implication was even more chilling than an outright verbal threat.

  At this time, Liu Feng was greatly different from the one a month ago. After experiencing growth, he faced the current world's top master and no longer blindly feared him.

  Because in his heart, confidence had long surpassed fear. This confidence not only came from his understanding of martial arts but also from the brilliant plan thought out by Ma Chao.

  "What's the big deal?" Liu Feng glanced at the wall of flames between them, his tone and expression becoming increasingly calm.

  Xu Zhu suddenly burst out laughing and said disdainfully, "Kid, you've changed a lot. But do you think a mere firewall can stop me? Once the flames are extinguished, let's see how you'll escape this time."

  Liu Feng smiled: "When fighting with Hu Hou, how dare I slack off? Don't worry, Hu Hou, apart from this firewall, I have also prepared another big gift for you."

  Xu Chu's expression changed, and for a moment he didn't understand what was going on. At this time, the Cao army that had killed 700 of Liu's soldiers had followed Xu Chu, but like Xu Chu, they were also blocked by the sudden appearance of the fire wall. Thousands of horses and men crowded around the fire wall, not knowing how to cross it.

  Everything is just as Ma Xiang had expected.

  The time had come, Liu Feng wheeled his horse and retreated, galloping eastward. Just as Xu Chu thought he was trying to take advantage of the situation to escape, Liu Feng stopped more than twenty paces away.

  Liu Feng turned his horse's head again, and with one person and one ride, he looked straight at the thousand Cao troops. The corner of his mouth raised a slight sneer, then he took out a command flag from his horse bag, held it high with his long arm, and waved it towards the northwest direction.

  Seeing the young man's actions, the experienced and seasoned Xu Chu's first reaction was that he had fallen into an ambush. His stern gaze immediately swept towards the northwest direction, and then a scornful smile appeared on his face.

  To the northwest was a boundless expanse of Cloud Dream Marsh, with nothing but scattered clumps of reeds as far as the eye could see. This type of marshland didn't even have any terrain that could be used for ambushes, let alone allow people to enter. This was also why he had dared not to guard against the flank and directly use a shield wall to push forward against Miao Fang's troops earlier.

  "Hmph, so it was just a bluff."

  As soon as Xu Chu's disdainful voice had barely escaped his lips, suddenly, his field of vision changed abruptly, his tiger eyes wide open, as if he had seen the most unimaginable strange thing in his life.

  More than 200 archers suddenly appeared out of a seemingly ordinary reed marsh seventy paces northwest, and in the midst of the cacophony of birdsong, a dense hail of arrows shot forth in elegant arcs, whistling as they poured down upon Cao's army crowded before the firewall.

  "How is this possible? How can this be?"

  Xu Chu's iron-like face was, in this instant, seized by an unprecedented shock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't understand how those enemy archers and crossbowmen had suddenly appeared in the muddy swamp that even a mouse could swallow.

  At the moment of shock, the first wave of arrow rain arrived like lightning, and Cao's army was caught off guard and had no time to react. Dozens of people fell under the arrows on the spot.

  The strike had just begun, and the two hundred soldiers in the muddy swamp, under Ma Chao's command, drew their bows like new moons, and arrows shot out like lightning, each one coated with toxic iron arrows, like the fangs of the god of death, mercilessly pouncing on those who had once made them tremble with fear.

  Due to the previous battle with the Miao Fang Department, the Cao army's shields were no longer in hand at this time, and even the formation was broken due to the chaos of the battle. In this situation, they could only rely on the weapons in their hands, frantically waving them about, trying to parry the incoming arrows.

  However, the enemy was well-prepared and the 200 men led by Ma Chao were equipped with the best strong bows and hard crossbows given by Liu Qi. At such close range, dense and simultaneous shooting, its power and speed are not something ordinary people can resist.

  Under the dense arrow attack like raindrops, one after another Cao army fell into the blood pool, the flowing hot blood mixed with the blood of their enemies who had just been slaughtered by them, making the muddy ground below a terrible and nauseating black red.

  Looking at the disheveled and miserable enemy, Liu Feng's mouth corners rose, his face overflowing with a cold and complacent smile.

  The reason why those two hundred soldiers could enter the muddy swamp without being trapped was due to their feet.

  Because under the feet of each soldier, there was a pair of wooden boards the size of pot lids, increasing the bearing surface, spreading the weight of the body, so that they would not sink into the mud. It was with this method that they were able to miraculously enter the muddy swamp, and everyone crouched down, using reeds as camouflage.

  Earlier, when Mai Fang lined up to welcome the enemy, Liu Feng quietly dug a long trench behind him. The purpose was to use a firewall to block Cao's army's path. Then, taking advantage of the chaos in Cao's military array, he ordered the ambush troops in the reeds to launch a fatal surprise attack.

  'Ma Su, it seems your plan has worked, this battle will make our names known throughout the land.'
