Hu hu hu hu!

It was unknown from where a gust of wind had come from, blowing the starting point of the drop of blood, stirring up the sounds of metal lances, blowing up the long hair at the temples of everyone.

As the dust settled, the scene immediately became quiet. Everyone's eyes were tightly fixed onto Hong Lei.

It was beyond everyone's expectation that the situation had developed to this point.

When Feng Xiao first arrived, he had the demeanor and temperament of an expert, and the strength he displayed was incoherent as well.

In the eyes of everyone else, if Feng Xiao was to go against Hong Lei, that Hong Lei would undoubtedly die.

However, who would have thought that Hong Lei would suddenly consume that unknown medicinal pill and his strength would soar. In the blink of an eye, he had reversed the situation and even killed Feng Xiao.

Everyone present was shocked, and they were struck speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Hong Lei was still panting heavily. Holding onto his sword, his hands were trembling slightly. That sword strike a moment ago had consumed a huge amount of his zhenqi.

He had to quickly reverse the force of the sword and sword moves, and not only that, his power did not decrease at all. Furthermore, he had to change to the opposite direction at the same time.

In fact, it was extremely dangerous. Even the slightest mistake could cause a backlash from the Qi, and some would even land on the ground with serious injuries.

However, Hong Lei decisively made this decision. He knew that if he let Feng Xiao leave, things would definitely not be like they were now.

If he really allowed Feng Xiao to return to the Eight Extreme Sword Sect, then his doomsday would arrive. Thus, he had no choice but to kill Feng Xiao here to prevent future troubles.

As for the Eight Extreme Sword Sect finding out about this matter again, that was a matter for the future. At that time, there would be enough time for him to think of a way to deal with it.

Hong Lei trembled as he moved. He was still holding his sword, kicking off Feng Xiao's head before slowly walking back.

When Yang Muyun saw this scene, he held onto the multicolored light and was about to rush over, but he was stopped by Cui Rong, "What are you trying to do?"

"While he's still at war and resting, take advantage of his illness to take his life!" Yang Muyun said fiercely.

"Calm down." "Didn't you notice that his aura hadn't weakened in the slightest?"

After Yang Muyun heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he carefully looked at Hong Lei. He discovered that the aura fluctuations from Hong Lei's body were indeed just as strong as before and did not weaken at all.

This meant that Hong Lei did not wish to appear to be that weak. Instead, he was still filled with strength.

Yang Muyun took a step back. He wasn't a reckless person, at this moment, he wouldn't do something that had no meaning.

"I don't think the pill he just took has had any effect." Cui Bong said. " As long as he doesn't cause us trouble, we'll just wait and see. "

Yang Muyun nodded, but his hand still maintained his Sword Draw state.

He was not someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong like Feng Xiao. He never feared them. Even if his bones were broken, he would still face the heavens.

Hong Lei's pace was rather slow. However, every single step he took was stable and steady. Thus, he was able to walk back to Chu Feng, one step at a time.

He inadvertently glanced at Yang Muyun and Cui Bong, but didn't do anything. After glaring at them a few times, he continued to walk forward.

Hong Lei faced the army that Li Gang had brought with him, "Li Gang, do you want to die?"

His tone was filled with killing intent, causing others to feel as if they had fallen into a cave of ice and shuddered in fear.

"Haha." Li Gang only laughed lightly, seemingly unaffected by it. His expression was calm.

"General Hong, what are you talking about?" Li Han smiled. "I already said I'm here to help you."

Finishing his words, he gave the order, "The entire army must advance. We must protect General Hong well amidst these thugs!"

Upon receiving the order, the entire army rapidly headed in Hong Lei's direction. All of the elites of the three boats and eighteen docks were massacred along the way.

From the looks of it, the "thug" he was referring to was the people from dock 18.

Cui Rong's heart became anxious and she was about to help when Yang Mu stopped her, "Don't be anxious, look."

As he said this, Yang Muyun pointed at Hong Lei. Cui Bong looked over and noticed that Hong Lei did not have an expression of happiness. Instead, he was a little angry.

Before they could react, Hong Lei began to curse loudly, "What I hate the most in my life is those hypocritical villains."

Hong Lei was pointing at Li Gang.

However, Li Gang acted like a fool, "What, where's the scumbag? I'll send some men to take care of him."

"Humph!" Hong Lei snorted coldly, "Hypocrite!"

"You said you came to help me?" Hong Lei asked.

"Of course." Li Gang answered.

"Then why did you kill our own people?" With a single glance, Hong Lei was infuriated.

"The situation is chaotic, just some accidental injuries." Li Gang explained.

"Alright, then I'll ask you again." Hong Lei said, "Where did we get the cannons and the gunners?"

When Li Gang made his move just now, he had obviously used artillery. However, the Black Armored Army didn't have any weapon capable of killing within this range, so where did Li Gang get his hands on such a weapon?

"General Hong, this is our …" A person beside Li Gang clasped his hands together and was about to explain the situation to Hong Lei.

"Zhang Hao, shut up!" Li Gang scolded.

"What, you finally revealed your true colors?" Looking at the enraged expression on Li Gang's face, Hong Lei laughed instead.

"Hur hur." Li Gang sneered, "Things are already like this, there's no need for me to continue acting."

"I just don't like you." Li Gang pointed at Hong Lei and said, "I am clearly the commander of the Black Armored Army."

"And you?" Li Gang continued, "He's just a military man who has a good relationship with others, yet he actually seized my military power and wanted to control the Black Armored Army? There's no question about it! "

"Did you finally speak the truth?" Hong Lei chuckled.

"Alright." Hong Lei looked in Li Gang's direction. "Then I'll tell you, what right do I have to be the general of the Black Armored Army?"

"Do you know of the 'Blade Breaks the Henggang'?" Hong Lei asked.

"Of course I know. Back then, he was an extremely famous general in the northeast who led Da Yu's victory over a few outsiders!" Li Gang answered, "But after he succeeded, he disappeared for a period of time. Everyone only knows that his surname is …"

Li Jun suddenly opened her mouth with a look of disbelief.

"That's me." Hong Lei suddenly shouted, "That's why when I was at war, I didn't know where you were peeing your pants!"

The conversation between the two had been shouted out using true energy, so everyone present could clearly hear it.

How was this possible? Yang Muyun also couldn't believe it. Ever since he was young, he had known about the many important battles in the Great Yu Dynasty. Naturally, he knew about the achievements of this' Blade Breaks the Henggang 'general.

However, never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Hong Lei was actually that Commander with outstanding military achievements.

If it was really him who was chasing after him, then it was likely that the imperial government was going to kill him.
