Every punch was like a ballistic crossbow being fired off, bringing about an extremely fierce wind!

“It’s you!” Deng Zhi was shocked and hurriedly blocked.

However, he was not Guo Haishen’s match. He was one-sidedly beaten up by a pair of iron fists and could not use his spear techniques at all.

Deng Zhi had once fought against the drunk Guo Haishen with his colleagues, the memory was still fresh in his mind. He knew that this person’s martial arts was extraordinary, and he was definitely not his match in a one-on-one battle.

“There are too many experts in this group!”

Deng Zhi was shocked and immediately thought of retreating.

He gritted his teeth and took two punches from Guo Haishen, as well as a hit from Fang Zhen, and used the momentum to escape while spitting out blood.

Guo Hai wanted to chase after him, but he was surrounded by the bandits of Yellow Pond Mountain immediately and was obstructed many times.

“Big Brother, stop chasing. The situation is bad!”

Fang Zhen hurriedly dissuaded.

Guo Haishen looked around and realized that the situation on the battlefield was very bad. His heart could not help but tremble.

Yellow Pond Mountain had the advantage of having more people and a home ground, and it was even a pincer attack from both sides. The troops of Tiger Head Mountain were beaten up badly, and their defeat was almost set in stone. They were in such panic that they could not muster up into an army at all.

“Damn it, if my second brother was here, how could we let them be so arrogant!”

Guo Haisjem gritted his teeth.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the bandits.

“Look there!”

“Why is the main stronghold on fire?!”

Everyone looked over and was shocked.

The flames soared into the sky, and the main stronghold of the cliffside of Yellow Pond Mountain was actually burned brightly. It was like a torch, extremely eye-catching in the night.

More and more people saw this scene, and the Yellow Pond Mountain outlaws grew bewildered. Their morale suddenly stagnated, and even their attacks slowed down, giving Tiger Head Mountain a rare chance to catch its breath.

Guo Haishen’s eyes flashed as he seized the opportunity to shout,

“We sent troops to attack the main stronghold, and we’ve already succeeded! Your base has already been broken into, so why aren’t you surrendering quickly?!”

Fang Zhen immediately came to a realization and cooperated. He also encouraged the Tiger Head Mountain bandits to shout together.

Buzz buzz buzz —

Not long after, their voices spread throughout the battlefield.

When the Yellow Pond Mountain troops heard this, they did not know if it was true. They were panicking, hesitant in their next actions. Their morale quickly plummeted.

Deng Zhi, who had run far away, also discovered that the main camp was on fire. His expression changed.

“Not good! Things have changed behind us, and the hearts of the people are wavering. The battle can now sway to either side!”

At this moment, a thunderous bang resounded through the night sky!

Boom!

Under the dumbfounded gazes of thousands of people, a large portion of the cliff collapsed, and rolling stones filled the mountain as it crashed down.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under everyone’s gazes, half of the stronghold branch was actually crushed!

Seeing this scene, all the bandits were left in a numb state.

At this moment, they felt as if their blood had frozen and their bones had turned cold.

“It’s over, the stronghold is gone!”

“Run quickly!”

The morale of the Yellow Pond Mountain troops instantly collapsed!

“Kill!”

However, the bandits of Tiger Head Mountain were overjoyed. Under their leader’s excited call, they seized the opportunity to counterattack.

With no way out and nowhere to go, the hearts of the people wavered and they panicked… The bandits of Yellow Pond Mountain were no longer in the mood to fight, and they were instantly defeated.

The advantage was instantly reversed!

Deng Zhi’s expression changed drastically. “This battle is over!”

He did not dare to continue fighting. He pushed aside the panicked allies and rushed out of the battlefield, returning to the forest where he laid in ambush previously and retreated with the remaining men without a word. He headed straight for the secret passage he had come from, planning to quickly go to the main stronghold to control the situation.

In his opinion, as long as he could stabilize the main stronghold, there was still a chance to defend it!

As for the bandits who had been thrown onto the battlefield, they could no longer shake off the enemy. They could only use them to cover the retreat and pray for the best…

Deng Zhi and the others trudged through the forest as the noise from the battlefield gradually faded.

After rushing for a while, Deng Zhi finally returned to the exit of the secret passage.

This was a cave hidden in the vines. Inside was a winding tunnel that led to a secret place in the main area. It could be used to quietly move a few troops.

“Hurry up and go in!”

Deng Zhi called everyone into the secret passage.

After walking for a while, everyone turned a corner and suddenly realized that there was a flame floating in front of them.

Two figures holding torches were walking over from the other side of the secret passage, blocking the way.

The men of Yellow Pond Mountain received a rude shock as they stopped. Upon adjusting to the light, what greeted them was an even more frightening sight.

One of the figures was actually their chief, Xu Gui.

At this moment, Xu Gui was walking unsteadily with a blank expression, as if he had fallen into a huge shock.

The other person was a burly lion-haired man with an iron spear on his shoulder. His posture was swaggering, and he had a malicious smile on his face.

“Chen Feng!”

Deng Zhi’s eyes widened as he shouted. He recognized him at a glance.

Zhou Jing was also a little surprised to see everyone. However, he twisted his neck from side to side as he spoke,

“I originally wanted to intercept your escape route, but you ran into it yourself… Forget it, Grandpa will collect my debts here. Consider yourself unlucky.”

Hearing this, Deng Zhi trembled all over. He felt that the nightmare he had been living in for a long time had occupied his heart again.

Only when he really stood in front of Zhou Jing did he realize that he did not have the courage to attack at all!

Deng Zhi did not hesitate to turn around and escape. At the same time, he shouted out at the top of his voice,

“Run!”

“Hey, it’s too late!”

Zhou Jing grinned and dragged his spear forward, walking faster and faster.

Finally, he strode through the narrow tunnel and charged straight at the group of people.

“Ah ah ah ah—”

In the next moment, screams filled the entire tunnel!
