C365 The Winner Takes All

"Zheng Hao! Today is the day of your death. If you have any last words, then leave them to the Underworld and that old man Hades. Watch my blade!"

Tuoba Chong took the lead and charged towards Zheng Hao. The long blade in his hand slashed down mercilessly. However, although Zheng Hao's cultivation base was world-shaking, he had lost his horse because of the battle just now. Naturally, he was suppressed by Tuoba Chong in terms of Qi, making it difficult for him to exert his full strength. He hurriedly raised his spear to meet the attack, but it was not very powerful. With a loud bang, Tuoba Chong and his horse took a few steps back. Zheng Hao, on the other hand, retreated dozens of meters and spat out a mouthful of blood. Clearly, he had suffered a serious internal injury.

This was not surprising. It was likely that Zheng Hao's mind had been thrown into chaos because of Lyu Hong's death. Just now, when he was fighting furiously with Jin Yunlie, he was ambushed by Tuoba Chong. Now that he was injured, it was reasonable for him to behave in such a way.

"Heh, you are already at the end of your life. Do you still want to fight for your life?"

Tuoba Chong was full of confidence. He thought that this attack would definitely end Zheng Hao's life. However, he never thought that the latter would be able to force him to take a few steps back at such a critical moment, even though he really didn't want to admit it. However, there was still a huge gap between him and this man. This made Tuoba Chong even more furious. A sense of shame burned in his heart like a flame. He wished he could rush over and devour this man alive.

Zheng Hao didn't respond to him. His eyes were still empty. Clearly, he hadn't regained his senses yet. However, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of bitterness, as if he had also felt the sorrow from the bottom of his heart in this state.

Tuoba Chong raised his hand and the blade fell. He attacked once again. As if he had sensed the killing intent of his master, the mount under him also breathed out heavily. It was like a lightning bolt rushing across the battlefield, forcing Zheng Hao into a desperate situation time and time again.

"Bang!"

This was the tenth time that the two of them had collided. It seemed that their great enemy, who had been difficult to compare with in the past, had now fallen into a situation where it was difficult to tell who was stronger than them. In fact, he was even starting to show signs of suppressing this person. Tuoba Chong instantly became more and more courageous as he fought. After every collision, it was as if he had been reborn, and his entire body seemed to be filled with an endless amount of strength. On the other hand, Zheng Hao was in a miserable state. After the two of them exchanged blows, they left. Zheng Hao's right hand, which was holding the spear, kept shaking. Blood kept flowing out from the wound between his thumb and forefinger. The long spear fell to the ground. Anyone could see his current situation.

Jin Yunlie stood aside coldly. Zheng Hao had lost the upper hand. The role he played had gradually changed from a general who was leading the troops to a spectator. Once Lyu Hong died, he would become a spectator. In this first battle, the Chu Army had a 80% chance of losing. The reason why he didn't seize the opportunity to take down Zheng Hao and defeat the Chu Army in one fell swoop was all for Tuoba Chong's chance. A chance to crush his inner demon.

After all, the shadow that Zheng Hao had cast on him was too strong. It had already become Tuoba Chong's inner demon. And from another point of view, the Barbarian Army also needed a complete victory. Then, they would completely suppress the Chu Army in terms of morale!

Jin Yunlie had never underestimated Zheng Hao. Even now, he held his spear tightly and pointed it in the direction of Zheng Hao. Once Zheng Hao made any unusual move, he would shoot it out without hesitation.

"Puff!"

After another collision, Zheng Hao's body was like a kite with a broken string. He was sent flying far away. It wasn't that his strength was no match for his opponent. It was because Lyu Hong was mentally and physically exhausted after his death, and his combat strength was only able to display 70% of his original strength. How could he defeat Tuoba Chong who was full of fighting spirit? At this moment, his injuries had already hurt his internal organs. Even in this condition, Zheng Hao could still feel the pain.

He raised his head stubbornly. For some reason, his ferocious face was filled with an unyielding expression because of the pain. Even Zheng Hao himself had almost forgotten why he was fighting. His eyes were fixed on the faces of the two men opposite him. Those two faces were so disgusting that he had the urge to kill them just by looking at them.

"No! I absolutely can't. . . I can't fall here. I want. . . I want to kill them!"

Zheng Hao tried his best to resist the spear and try to stand up. However, his body did not listen to his orders out of instinct. With a bang, Zheng Hao fell to the ground again.

"Zheng Hao, is this the only thing you can do?" At this moment. Tuoba Chong had already led his horse to Zheng Hao. He sighed regretfully and said, "You are very strong. You are a rare opponent. Although it would be unfair to kill you just like that, However, this is a battlefield. The process wasn't important. What was important was the result. Cheng, Wang, Defeat, bandit!"

His words were filled with sorrow for the death of a rabbit. Tuoba Chong expressionlessly raised his saber. This scene instantly attracted the attention of most of the people on the battlefield. Among them, Yelv Cheng had a faint smile on his face as he calculated the outcome of the battle. Although Bao Hong was still as steady as a rock, under his calm exterior, his heart was already in turmoil.

"Hateful, really. . . Is it over just like that?"

Bao Hong clenched his fists, unwilling to give up, even though he had already died in Lyu Hong's battle. He had already known that this would be the result, but when everything happened as it was. He almost couldn't control his emotions. After Lyu Hong's death. . . Zheng Hao would also have his head separated from his body. Bao Hong couldn't help but grit his teeth. He couldn't resist the urge to save Lyu Hong. He. . . After all, he was not a saint.

"Pass down the order. Regardless of whether Zheng Hao is alive or dead, no one is allowed to rescue him unless I give the order!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it immediately caused a commotion in the Chu Army. Among them, Chang Wei's reaction was the most intense. He rushed in front of Bao Hong, his eyes wide open as he spoke. You are not allowed to save him. What kind of bullshit rule was this? Are we just going to watch Brother Zheng die?! "

Bao Hong secretly sighed when he saw this, but his face showed a cold expression and said, "This is an order. Anyone who dares to violate it will be punished by military law!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately retreated unwillingly. It turned out that Jie Qianchou's purpose of coming here this time was not to save people. At the same time, he also sent a decree to everyone. That was Chu Feng's decree. It was a very short decree. It was just a few words, but it was enough to shock everyone. "When the old marshal was unconscious. . . The position of commander-in-chief was temporarily taken over by the Divine Severing Hidden Dragon. Anyone who dared to have any objections or openly oppose this matter would have no choice but to obey. Secretary Bao, you can take care of it yourself. Choose first and report later!"

Without a doubt, the reason why Chu Feng was able to know everything about the border like the back of his hand was naturally because of Ou Yezi's painstaking deduction. This was also what Ou Yezi feared the most. At the same time, he also sent a message to everyone. Bao Hong was deeply reliant on by the Emperor!

As the saying goes, military orders are as heavy as mountains! As a soldier, obeying orders should be at the top no matter what. Seeing that Bao Hong had already taken out military law to discuss matters, No matter how worried the people of Chu Army were about Zheng Hao's safety, they had no choice but to keep quiet. They unwillingly retreated to the side.
