Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 497 Zheng the Demon Lord: Go and cry out for justice to the King of Hell! [2 Updates]

"when!"

Shi Bao hurriedly used both hands to grab the eighteen-foot spear with his sword to parry it, managing to block it, but not completely...

The eighteen-foot spear, carrying immense force, pressed his sword handle against his chest and then swept him away!

"boom--"

Shi Bao was thrown into the air like a kite with its string cut, until his back crashed heavily into the Buddha statue!

With a heavy stomp on the ground, Du Xue used the rebound force to propel himself into the air like a flying dragon!

"Shh-"

With his right hand gripping the end of the eighteen-foot spear, he unleashed a move called "Raise Fire to Burn the Sky," thrusting it towards Pang Wanchun on the beam!
Just as Pang Wanchun drew his bow and nocked an arrow, he hastily aimed at Du Xue's face and shot him down!
"Whoosh-"

At the critical moment, Du Xue suddenly exerted his strength, and the eighteen-foot spear flew out of his hand, winding upwards like a serpent!
At the same time, Du Xue tilted his head again, and with a "pfft," an arrow struck his other shoulder socket!

Even if it meant taking another arrow from Pang Wanchun, Du Xue was determined to take down this archer who was a thorn in his side!

After firing an arrow, Pang Wanchun hurriedly dodged, but the eighteen-foot spear was as fast as lightning!

"Pfft!"

The eighteen-foot spear pierced Pang Wanchun's stomach, knocking him off the high beam!
Fortunately, Pang Wanchun gripped the spearhead tightly with both hands at the critical moment of life and death. Although his hands were cut and bleeding profusely, at least he was spared from being disemboweled by the spear!
However, even someone with a strong physique who has practiced martial arts would still feel dizzy and weak after falling from the high beam...

At this moment, Wei He had already scattered the Southern Kingdom's Imperial Guards and rushed over, raising his broadsword to kill Pang Wanchun!
Suddenly, a cloud of black mist flew out from behind the giant Buddha statue!
Within the black mist stood a golden-armored celestial being!
The golden-armored deity, wielding a demon-subduing pestle, struck down at Wei He from mid-air!
"Oh!"

Wei He was so frightened that he instinctively took a step back, and a spear seized the opportunity to stab him in the throat!
At this critical moment, another spear suddenly shot out from the side and knocked the iron spear away!
"hiss--"

Wei He then came to his senses and looked closely, only to find that the golden-armored celestial being had vanished!

"This is an illusion!"

Du Xue, being knowledgeable and experienced, quickly reminded him:
"This cowardly rat hiding his head and tail is a monk!"

Zheng Biao was very frustrated. His illusion technique was usually invincible, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere.

Liu Yuan knocked his iron spear away and then thrust it at him again!
Zheng Biao hurriedly muttered, "Blah blah blah... Hurry!"

Suddenly, a cloud of black mist emerged from the top of his helmet, and with a "whoosh," it engulfed Liu Yuan!

Wei He rushed to save Liu Yuan, but the black mist swallowed him up as well!

"magician!"

Du Xue was furious, but he had been hit by arrows in both shoulders and could not lift his spear, so he could only kick it!
"call--"

As Du Xueren was in mid-air, the black mist rolled over and enveloped him completely!

In the eyes of Liu Yuan, Wei He, and Du Xue, this is how things are:

Dark clouds gathered, and black fog filled the sky.

The next gust of wind and rain came down, followed by several fierce claps of thunder.

The mountains and rivers trembled, their heights and depths resembling a collapse of the heavens;
The stream was raging wildly, while the ground on both sides seemed to be sinking.

The ghosts wept mournfully, and the gods wailed loudly.

I could not see a single shape when I looked closely, and all I could hear was the sound of a thousand trees.

The three of them were actually very close, but none of them could see each other, as if each of them was in their own world.

Zheng Biao breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't expected that these assassins from Huaixi would all possess the courage of ten thousand men.

He was originally the head constable of Lanxi County in Wuzhou, and he was skilled with spears and clubs from a young age.

After following Fang La, he became a disciple of "Spiritual Response Celestial Master" Bao Daoyi because of his great love for Taoist magic, and learned many magical arts.

But wherever there is a battle, there will always be clouds of mist following, hence people call him "Demon Lord Zheng".

Although Zheng Biao claimed to be "proficient in spears and clubs since childhood," his martial arts skills were actually only at Wang Ai Hu's level. Therefore, he could only use magic to restrain Du Xue, Wei He, and Liu Yuan, and shout at the surviving Imperial Guards:
"All of you, get over here and prepare to take him!"

The Imperial Guards were reduced to only a dozen men by Liu Yuan and Wei He, who cowered and hid in all directions.

After being scolded by Zheng Biao, he came out tremblingly, having prepared the ropes and waiting for Zheng Biao to do his thing.

Others couldn't see through the black mist, but Zheng Biao could see it clearly. He reached into the mist and grabbed Wei He.
"Come here you go!"

Wei He felt dizzy and terrified in the black fog when suddenly someone grabbed him and threw him to the ground!
Before Wei He could react, the dozen or so Imperial Guards had already pounced on him and tied him up.

Zheng Biao followed the same method, dragging Liu Yuan and Du Xue out of the black fog one by one and having them tied up by the Imperial Guards.

"magician!"

Du Xue cursed, "If you've got the guts, let me go! Let's fight one-on-one! I'll give you a handicap with both hands!"

Zheng Biao tore a piece of clothing from Chen Yun's body, rolled it into a ball, and stuffed it into Du Xue's mouth:
"Noisy!"

Before he could be gagged, Liu Yuan quickly asked:
Where are you taking us?

Zheng Biao picked up Chen Yun's head and sneered:
"Of course, we should capture him and take him back to the Southern Kingdom for the Prince of Nan'an to deal with!"

"The assassin who killed the Prince of Nan'an is dead, and you accomplices will not escape punishment either!"

While having a soldier clean his wounds and apply wound medicine, Li Tianrun complained about Zheng Biao:
"Why didn't the Grand Commandant perform the spell sooner?"

Zheng Biao curled his lip:

"How could I have known that you are all men of unparalleled strength, yet no match for these few assassins?"

"I only missed you for a second, and you were all injured."

"If I hadn't cast my spell in time, hmph hmph hmph..."

Li Tianrun, Shi Bao, and Pang Wanchun were speechless; they hadn't expected these assassins to be so fierce.

"Alright, now that we've found the real culprit, we should head back."

Zheng Biao said, "It's time to stop while you're ahead."

"Grand Commandant, what should we do about him?"

Two imperial guards pushed Lin Chong, who was bound hand and foot, out from behind the giant Buddha statue.

Lin Chongchong nodded vigorously to Zheng Biao, indicating that he had something to say, and Zheng Biao pulled the smelly sock out of his mouth.

"I was wronged!"

Lin Chong excitedly shouted to Zheng Biao, "This matter has nothing to do with me, please let me go!"

Zheng Biao glanced at Shi Bao and Pang Wanchun, then asked Lin Chong, "Are you really a general under the Prince of Qi?"

Lin Chong immediately denied it: "No, I am a subordinate of 'Timely Rain' Song Jiang!"

Zheng Biao shook his head: "Since it has nothing to do with the King of Qi, there's no use keeping you around!"
"If you think taking me to Jiangnan is a burden, then I might as well kill you!"

Watt hair?
Lin Chong was stunned and immediately shouted:
"related!
"I am a subordinate of Song Jiang, and Song Jiang is a subordinate of Prince Qi!"

"Oh?"

Zheng Biao frowned and looked at Shi Bao and Pang Wanchun: "So, what do you suggest we do?"

Shi Bao decisively said, "He did indeed have some connection with Prince Qi, but Song Jiang has already parted ways with Prince Qi!"
"Keeping him alive is useless; it's better to kill him for the King of Qi!"

Lin Chong: (_)
"most!"

Zheng Biao drew his sword and held it to Lin Chong's neck:
"You've been wronged! Go and plead your case before the King of Hell!"
