Without another word, he raised his saber and charged forward as he hollered,
“Surnamed Tang, don’t go!”
When Tang Guang turned around and saw him, he immediately started grumbling.
Yellow Pond Mountain had fought with Tiger Head Mountain many times, but none of the leaders on the mountain could defeat the “Golden Blade” Hong Dingxian. He knew that he was not a match.
Only Deng Zhi, who had recently joined the team, had extraordinary martial arts skills. He was the current number one expert of Yellow Pond Mountain and might be able to defeat this person… However, Deng Zhi was lying in ambush at this moment and did not attack.
“Even if I can’t defeat him, I’ll tangle up Hong Dingxian for a while!”
Tang Guang made up his mind and shouted as he faced Hong Dingxian.
His weapon was a pair of daggers. They were as long as short swords, and his attacks were piercingly cold.
However, against the skilled Hong Dingxian, he could only repeatedly engage and retreat.
Meanwhile…
In the forest behind, there was also a group of hundreds of Yellow Mountain troops hiding and setting up traps.
Deng Zhi was the commander of this ambush. His mission was to wait for Chen Feng to attack and lure him into the encirclement.
At this moment, he did not participate in the battle. Instead, he hid in the bushes and watched the battle from afar.
Although the attack on the camp had succeeded and Yellow Pond Mountain had the upper hand, Deng Zhi’s expression was solemn and he was not happy at all.
This was because he did not see Zhou Jing on the battlefield at all.
“The situation is so critical. Why isn’t Chen Feng taking action? Could it be that he has other plans?!”
Deng Zhi was a little anxious and uneasy. He could not help but let his imagination run wild. His palms had unknowingly been covered in sweat.
Although he did not see Zhou Jing at all, he was more nervous than anyone else. It was really because Zhou Jing had left too deep a psychological trauma on him.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Tang Guang cry out in panic in the camp not far away.
“Aiyo, Brother Deng, come and help me. I’m not this guy’s match!”
Deng Zhi hurriedly came back to his senses. With the help of the flames in the camp, he realized that his allies were being chased by the other party’s experts and were struggling to resist.
Although they had the advantage of a night attack, the martial arts skills of their Yellow Pond Mountain’s leaders were much inferior to the other party. They could no longer hold their own against them.
“It’s been a short time since I came to the mountain. If I sit back and watch them suffer, they’ll definitely hate me.”
Deng Zhi’s expression changed. He made up his mind and quickly ordered dozens of people to follow him out.
“Brothers, don’t panic. I’m coming!”
He strode into the battlefield with an iron spear in his hand. It was like a plum blossom spitting out a stamen, sweeping past everyone unhindered.
Deng Zhi quickly rushed to support Tang Guang, shooting out his spear to intercept Hong Dingxian’s Golden Blade.
Dang!
Spear and spear collided, causing a ringing sound to be heard across the entire battlefield.
The two of them felt their arms go numb as they took three to four steps back. They were both secretly shocked that the other party’s martial arts were on par.
Hong Dingxian raised his golden saber and looked at Deng Zhi, who was charging out from the side. He shouted, “When did such a person appear in Yellow Pond Mountain? Who are you? Tell me your name!”
“A man does not hide his name, my name is Deng Zhi!”
Deng Zhi waved his iron spear and replied in a deep voice.
Hong Dingxian saw the brand on this person’s face through the light of the fire and immediately snorted, “So you’re part of the Traitor Army.”
Tang Guang had been beaten up by Hong Dingxian until he could not fight back at all. Now that he had received support, he finally had a chance to catch his breath.
He gripped his two daggers tightly and said eagerly, “Brother Deng, let’s join forces to take down this guy!”
“Come, come, come. If the two of you attack together, what do I have to fear?!”
Hearing this, Hong Dingxian was not afraid at all.
However, Deng Zhi did not want to delay. He said in a low voice, “The opponent’s martial arts are strong. Brother Tang, retreat and don’t fight.”
Hearing this, Tang Guang hesitated for a moment before saying, “Then I’ll leave it to Brother Deng.” Then, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Hong Dingxian wanted to chase after him, but he was stopped by Deng Zhi.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The two of them exchanged blows and fought for a few rounds. In such a short amount of time, they could not do anything to each other.
Seeing that this person’s martial arts were powerful, Deng Zhi had no intention of continuing to fight. He simply feinted and lured Hong Dingxian to the side. Then, he fled and let the lackeys stop his opponent.
He turned into the wind as he went to save the other leaders. His spear shone with a cold light, and he quickly helped the leaders out of the situation. Finally, he supported Yu Zhen.
Deng Zhi’s hands trembled, and the Iron Spear stabbed towards Fang Zhen like a poisonous dragon.
Dang!
As the wind blew, Fang Zhen’s heart skipped a beat. He waved his staff and parried, quickly retreating.
He carefully sized up Deng Zhi and actually found him quite familiar.
“Eh, I think I’ve seen you before… Aren’t you the military officer who was scared shitless by my second brother in An Lin Prefecture?”
Fang Zhen quickly recognized the other party.
Hearing this, Deng Zhi was furious. He roared out,
“If it weren’t for you, how would I have ended up in the wilderness? D*mn you, take this!”
With a loud shout, the Iron Spear slid across his palm, piercing through the air.
Fang Zhen snorted coldly. He was not afraid at all. He swung the iron head staff horizontally with great force, countering every move.
Crackle crackle—
The two of them were evenly matched, both sides taking turns to attack and counter each other’s moves.
Yu Zhen wanted to help, but he was shouted at to retreat and could only move back.
However, at this moment, Guo Haishen came to provide reinforcements.
Seeing this, Yu Zhen still wanted to attack, but he suddenly realized that the other party’s casserole-like fist was rapidly expanding in his vision.
Peng!
With just one punch, Yu Zhen was knocked to the ground, too dizzy to get up.
Guo Haishen shook his hand before looking at Deng Zhi. His eyes widened as he roared,
“So it’s you, dog official! Back then, you helped the wicked and imprisoned me with others. I’ll settle this score with you today!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced forward. His force was as heavy as a mountain, and his fist momentum was like the four seas flowing backward.
