Dong! Dong! Dong!

In Li Gang's army, the firearms in the rear shot out towards the battlefield one after the other without any difference.

No matter if it was the Black Armored Army or the people of Three Shipping Pier Eighteen, they were basically unable to withstand the fierce attacks of the firearms.

The firearm landed on the ground, exploding into sparks while taking away one life after another.

The sparks also seemed to have the power to devour people, causing one person after another to fall down, turning into a mess of flesh and blood.

As for Li Gang, he seemed to be enjoying the show as he was surrounded by cavalry. Although he had shouted for an attack just now, other than the artillery team, no one else on his side had taken action.

This was a good plan, to use gunpowder to weaken the enemy's strength, he wouldn't need to waste a single person.

What he had done was completely inconsistent with what he had said. He was here to help Hong Lei.

His attack included even the black-armored cavalry led by Hong Lei. They didn't hold back at all; they were simply fighting to the death.

However, at this time, even a fool could see that Li Gang did not want to deal with Hong Lei and wanted to take the opportunity to destroy him.

Perhaps that Eight Extreme Sword Sect elder was called over by Li Gang. What a terrifying scheme.

However, although the firearm bombardment was fierce, there were also people who weren't affected. For example, Yang Muyun and Cui Bong, Hong Lei and Feng Xiao.

They were all powerful martial practitioners. As long as the firearm wasn't too powerful, it wouldn't be a threat to their lives.

At this moment, Yang Muyun and Qu Rong were shuttling back and forth between the fire and fire. They were struggling to avoid the bombardment of firearms while simultaneously transforming into Yan Luo who reaped lives, killing the enemies of the Black Armored Army one after another.

At this time of chaos, the Black Armored Soldiers were unable to display their full might. In the eyes of Yang Muyun and Cui Lan, they were nothing more than fish on the chopping board.

At that moment, Hong Lei was in a very sorry state. His clothes were cut open with dozens of smooth cracks. He was injured by Feng Xiao's sword energy, and the skin under the tear was also cut open. Fresh blood flowed out from the wound.

Although Feng Xiao was no longer as indifferent as he was before, he was still much better than Hong Lei. At least, he wasn't injured.

At this moment, he was holding onto a sword with disheveled hair and anger could be seen in his eyes. "It has been a long time since someone has dared to make a move against me."

"You must die today!" Feng Xiao glared at Hong Lei as if he wanted to eat him whole.

"Humph!" Hong Lei coldly snorted as he scolded, "Old fool, you're nothing special."

"It's been so long. He still hasn't been able to kill me." Hong Lei chuckled.

"Bam!" Feng Xiao's anger flared, and he swung his sword again. Hong Lei flew away and crashed into the wall behind him.

Feng Xiao was indeed an elder of the Eight Extreme Sword Sect. He was able to freely utilize the power of each sweep without the slightest bit of waste. He had a somewhat simplistic style.

"So, do you still want to be eloquent?" Feng Xiao walked over to Hong Lei.

"Bah!" Hong Lei crawled out of the brick and spat out a mouthful of blood, "Old fool, you still haven't killed me."

"Stubborn fool!" Feng Xiao flew into a rage, "Brat, within three moves, I will definitely kill you!"

"Hur hur." He didn't expect Hong Lei to sneer when he heard this, "I'm afraid you won't have the chance!"

As he spoke, he took out a brocade sack and took out a pill from within.

Feng Xiao subconsciously felt that the pill was a great threat and immediately rushed forward, wanting to knock the pill out of Hong Lei's hands.

However, he was faster. Hong Lei was faster than him. Before he arrived, Hong Lei had already swallowed the medicinal pellet.

Boom!" The moment the pill entered his stomach, a majestic wave of zhenqi emanated from Hong Lei's body.

"This pill was given to me by the senior. He also told me that if I consume it in danger, it can save my life." Hong Lei stood up and said, "However, from the looks of it, this pill will not bring me back to life. However, it will allow me to kill all of you."

"I will not die, and you will all die!" With a savage gaze, Hong Lei grasped the hilt of his sword.

"Crap, it's that renegade disciple thing from back then." Feng Xiao seemed to be able to figure out the origin of the pill in an instant. He took a few steps back and pulled away from Hong Lei.

The shock of true energy naturally affected Yang Muyun and Cui Bong. They stopped their movements and looked at Hong Lei, because they could clearly feel that Hong Lei's strength had instantly increased.

This wave of true energy was even stronger than Yang Muyun and Cui Banyan combined.

Naturally, Li Gang also noticed Hong Lei's sudden explosion. He frowned and raised his hand, signalling for all firearms to stop their attacks. The sound of gunfire explosions immediately stopped.

Then he sat up straight and said, "The artillery will retreat and rest. Infantry, cavalry, follow me. We must rescue General Hong."

At this time, Li Gang still had a dignified expression on his face without the slightest change.

As the order was given, the infantry and cavalry troops started to move forward in an orderly manner.

The infantrymen brandished their spears, thrusting straight at all the enemies in front of them. Together with the cavalry guards, they formed small square squads, one after another. This formation was obviously taught by them.

As for Yang Muyun and Qu Rong, they became even more uneasy as they watched the scene unfold. The black-armored cavalrymen were already difficult to deal with and yet there were so many of them.

Although the number of Black Armored Cavalry was becoming fewer and fewer, the number of people from Three Ship's Eighteen Dock was already low. If so many people came now, they probably wouldn't be able to hold on.

With the current situation, escaping was already impossible. They would die anyway, and their fighting spirit would even be aroused.

Killing one would be enough, but killing two would earn him a lot of money.

In just a short period of time, the men from Three Boats and Eighteen Docks had started their bloody battle again. Their wish to die suddenly rose.

Yang Muyun and Cui Rong had been fighting for a long time and were extremely focused. They were also a bit tired, but they knew that now was not the time to rest.

"Hah!" As true energy spread out, Yang Muyun and Cui Bong once again joined the battle.

A wolf enters a flock of sheep. Even if the sheep are stronger, they will not escape the fate of being captured and killed.

The two of them fought in this' battlefield ', killing everything in their path.

At this moment, Hong Lei felt that his body was filled with power, and his strength had also increased by many times. He knew that all of this was because of that medicinal pellet.

However, he had roamed the world for so many years, and he knew that these pills that could raise his strength were only temporary. The duration of the effects usually didn't last too long.

Therefore, he had to take advantage of his current limitless strength to end everything before him. He raised his sword and pointed it at Eight Extreme Sword Sect Elder Feng Xiao.

Facing Hong Lei, Feng Xiao felt that Hong Lei's strength had already risen above his own. For the first time, he had thoughts of retreating.

But could he retreat? This time, he was here to clean up the mess. If he didn't succeed and was scared away, then how would he have the face to face the sect in the future?

Feng Xiao forced himself to regain his composure and gripped his sword tightly, "I'd like to see just what tricks you have up your sleeves!"
