"You're a madman!" Hong Lei shouted as he tried his best to resist, wanting to break free from Cui Bong's suppression.

However, Qu Rong refused to let go of even a single breath, tightly clamping onto Hong Lei, not allowing him to move even an inch.

"Hehehe …" Hong Lei took a few deep breaths, "Qu Rong, we can discuss this properly."

Faced with death, Hong Lei began to feel fear. He began to give in to Cui Rong.

"Haha." Cui Rong looked at Hong Lei, her mouth full of blood as she laughed heartily.

Fresh blood dripped down from Cui Bong's lips in a dense stream.

"Hong Lei, Hong Lei!" Qu Rong laughed out loud, "I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

Cui Bong's words were filled with mockery and disdain towards Hong Lei, but Hong Lei did not refute her for a moment.

Facing the fear of death, this was the instinct of living beings, so Hong Lei could not be blamed.

Faced with death without fear, he was, after all, one of the minority. Perhaps Hong Lei from the past was someone like that, but now, he was no longer.

Hong Lei was slightly ashamed by Cui Bong's words and was left speechless. However, he didn't stop fighting back.

"Ugh!" Hong Lei exerted all of his brute force, using all of the strength in his body in that instant. He gripped the Rain Sword tightly, allowing the sword to stir about freely in the wound.

"Pfft!" Cui Rong spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale. The injuries he was currently suffering were injuries that most ordinary people would not be able to withstand.

The sharp blade of the Rain Sword danced crazily in the banyan tree. All that was left of the banyan was blood and gore.

However, Qu Rong clenched her teeth and smiled.

Cui Bong knew that the more Hong Lei did this, the more it indicated that he was losing his patience. If that was the case, then Cui Bong had already succeeded.

Because from the very beginning, Qu Rong had never planned to return alive, he didn't care.

"Hong Lei, stop struggling. Come down with me!" Qu Rong yelled out, and pulled out the flint stone hidden in her sleeve.

When Hong Lei saw the flint, it was as if he had lost his soul. He screamed out in fear, "Someone come quickly! What are you standing around for? Come and save me!" Hong Lei commanded the soldiers.

"You're not allowed to go!" At this time, a voice came out from the formation. The person who had been scolded by Hong Lei to shut his mouth, Zhang Huan, also stood out.

"If that traitor killed General Li, then he is the enemy of our Black Armored Army." Zhang Hao said, "Then if anyone goes to help him now, they will be the enemy of the Black Armored Army!"

Zhang Meng directly interrupted Hong Lei's words. In an instant, no one came to help Hong Lei. It seemed that Zhang Meng held quite a high prestige in the Black Armored Army.

"Why should laozi listen to you!" Before long, there were people who had come out to fight against Zhang Hao. After all, this army wasn't made up of all the Black Armored Army, and they weren't completely focused on using it.

"Brothers, let's go!" As he spoke, the leader of the group led his men to rescue Hong Lei.

Zhang Meng did not stop him and allowed him to leave.

Seeing that someone had arrived, Hong Lei couldn't help but shout out, "Quick! "Faster!"

The corners of Qu Rong's lips curved up in a cold smile.

The group of armored warriors were extremely fast, and they immediately arrived within a few meters of Hong Lei and Qu Rong.

"Hahaha." Hong Lei laughed heartily, "Qu Rong, do you see that? You're finished."

"Hahaha." "Thank you, Hong Lei."

"What do you mean?" Hong Lei was shocked.

"You're all finished!" Cui Rong laughed out loud, grabbing the firestone with one hand and rubbing it against the other.

"Puchi!" The fire stone shot out a spark and instantly ignited the fire brush.

"Quick!" "Faster!" Upon seeing this sight, Hong Lei was on the verge of going insane.

"Hahaha!" Cui Rong laughed out loud, "Yang Muyun, remember what you promised me!"

Just as they were about to come in contact with Cui Lan, the group of guards also sped up their pace.

Boom! *

A loud sound resounded across the flat land.

The gunpowder on Cui Bong's body instantly exploded.

All of a sudden, sand and rocks were blown into the air, and smoke filled the air. Hong Lei and Cui Bong were turned into blood mist from the explosion, dissipating into the world.

As for those armored warriors who were charging toward Hong Lei, because they were too close to the center of the explosion, they were not much better off.

The leader of the soldiers was killed instantly. The other soldiers were all knocked down. If they were not heavily injured, they would have fainted. Even if they didn't die, they would at least be crippled.

Most of the Shattered Leaf City's street had also been destroyed by the explosion. There were broken walls everywhere.

The aftermath of the explosion naturally spread out. However, because they were standing far away, the Black Armored Army's formation and the people of Three Halls and Eighteen Dock didn't suffer much damage.

The remaining soldiers in the formation didn't rush over to aid Hong Lei. Instead, they felt a lingering fear in their hearts. At the same time, they were secretly rejoicing that they didn't go over to help Hong Lei.

They too were thankful for standing up to stop Zhang Xuan. Unknowingly, Zhang Hao's position in their hearts had risen by quite a bit.

At this moment, in front of the entrance to the main hall of Three Ship Eighteen Dock, a group of elites from Three Ship Eighteen Dock were shedding tears.

Seeing that Qu Rong had chosen such a method, they all felt incredibly saddened.

They naturally understood their leader's intentions, but what they couldn't accept was the ending that ended up like Cui Bong.

Cui Bong had always been their pillar of support. Now that their pillar had collapsed, they felt as if the sky had fallen.

Yang Muyun was already able to move, and he stared at the place where the explosion occurred with a stunned expression.

Just now, he had clearly heard the final shout of Qu Rong. He knew that this was what Cui Rong had said, that he would use his death to resolve the hatred.

"Don't worry." Yang Muyun looked up at the sky, "I promise you, I'll definitely do it!"

"This …" Ye Ning was also shocked by the scene from before. He sat his butt on the ground.

He didn't think that his uncle, who had just saved him, would use such a method to deal with Hong Lei. For a long time, his heart was unable to calm down.

Yang Muyun didn't know how to comfort Ye Ning, nor did he know how to comfort the rest of the people from Three Ship's Eighteen Docks.

He only focused his attention on the battle formation in the distance. He knew that even though Hong Lei and Cui Rong had died, the matter wasn't over yet.

In the distant battle array, Hong Lei's death didn't cause much of a change in their mood. Most of them were from Li Gang's old tribe, and they didn't like Hong Lei very much, so they were rarely affected by his death.

But at this moment, they all quieted down. Li Gang and Hong Lei had died one after another. Without a commander, they naturally didn't know what to do next.

Everyone was stunned and didn't know what to do. No one dared to move.

"Cough, cough!" Seeing that the atmosphere had turned cold, Zhang Meng suddenly rode his horse and coughed.

He slowly walked to the front of the formation and stared at all the soldiers.

"Everyone, listen up!"

Zhang Hao shouted to the people in front of him, "Retreat!"
