Chapter 457 A Carefully Planned Attack
Seeing that Fenghuoshan's defenses were well set up and the large shields on the outer circle were like a solid barrier, the bandits on the periphery did not dare to act rashly, because they did not know the true strength of Fenghuoshan and did not dare to easily sacrifice their lives. They all waited for others to test first, and then rushed forward to grab the credit.
Seeing his men beginning to shrink back, Xue Ren became restless. If he delayed any further, it would be troublesome when the reinforcements from Langya City arrived.
Xue Ren hurriedly shouted to the bandits who were surrounding him, "Whoever can chop off the head of the leader of Fenghuoshan will be rewarded with another 500 taels!"
Under the temptation of gold and silver, the bandits began to stir again. After all, one thousand taels is enough to make a person successful and build power.
In the end, the gangsters chose the benefits of money and rushed to attack Fenghuoshan's position.
The bandits attacked, and the Fenghuoshan brothers picked up their weapons and began to defend. Their swords slashed on the big shield of Fenghuoshan, making a loud noise. The huge shield not only covered the whole body of the Xuanwu team members, but also provided protection for the teammates behind them, resisting the attacks of the bandits.
Although the offensive was chaotic and failed to effectively cause damage to Fenghuoshan brothers, the number of bandits was large, four times that of Fenghuoshan. This scattered attack also put Fenghuoshan in a considerable predicament.
Seeing the bandits' attack weaken, the brothers of Fenghuoshan took the opportunity to counterattack, blocking the attack with shields and moving forward to make room for the Suzaku team behind them. The Suzaku team seized the opportunity, stabbed with swords and spears, and launched a fierce counterattack. In an instant, the besieged enemies were wiped out, but the subsequent bandits immediately filled the gap and fought again. In the middle position, the Qinglong team was not a weak team either, they opened their bows and crossbows, fired dense rain of arrows, and attacked the enemy formation fiercely.
Before, the gang had not discovered that there were archers hidden in the Fenghuoshan formation, so they naturally did not expect such a swift counterattack. Although they immediately responded with swords after seeing the bows and arrows, it still caused many casualties. This scene angered Blood Blade, and he led his men to rush to Fenghuoshan.
I never thought that this Blood Blade was so cunning and sly, and the blood-red sword in his hand danced with the wind. Unlike the minor damage caused by ordinary bandits chopping shields, Blood Blade's sword forced a member of the Black Tortoise team to retreat two steps, but the teammates behind him immediately stabilized him, ensuring that the formation was not disrupted and maintained a solid defense.
Feiyu was slightly surprised. After all, he knew the protective power of the Xuanwu team's shield. Even ordinary people with greater strength could only make the shield vibrate slightly. This shield was designed by Feiyu himself, and two spikes were added below to enhance the grip. Inserting the spikes into the ground and holding it steady with one's own strength, ordinary attacks could not move the shield at all, but the blood blade's attack made the brothers retreat, which showed that he was not an ordinary bandit leader and must have special abilities. Moreover, the big knife was obviously extraordinary, and it actually cut through the iron shield.
Seeing this, Feiyu knew that he could no longer stand by and watch. This Blood Blade was no ordinary person. If he didn't take action himself, the Black Tortoise Team in the front would probably collapse. He couldn't just sit back and watch when he encountered an opponent that his brothers couldn't handle.
He will take action to restrain Blood Blade to prevent him from posing a threat to the brothers, but he will not participate in the fight between the Fenghuoshan brothers and the bandits, creating space for everyone to display their abilities and allowing them to be fully trained in this struggle.
He leaped from the center of the formation and headed straight to the periphery to confront Blood Blade.
Xue Ren has a dark complexion, and it is obvious that he is a ruthless character who has been in the bloody storm for many years. No matter what ability Xue Ren has, Fei Yu is determined to eliminate him, one is to protect the nearby people from harm, and the other is to eliminate the threat this person poses to his future plans.
Blood Blade's eyes were filled with cruelty, and his body was filled with murderous intent...
Fei Yu was increasingly curious about the story behind the blood knife. The thick murderous aura was obviously not something that a human enemy could bring. Instead, it seemed to emanate from a ferocious beast. The wild and fierce atmosphere even suppressed his fox bloodline ability, causing him to always feel an indescribable sense of oppression.
Xuedao snorted coldly, raised the blood-red long sword in his hand, and approached Feiyu again.
In this urgent situation, Feiyu did not have time to think and immediately drew out his ice-blue sword - Shuihan. When the sword came out, the temperature around him dropped sharply, and even Xuedao felt the unusual breath from the sword, but he did not stop his hand and chopped at Feiyu with the knife as usual.
Feiyu knew the power of Blood Knife's attack, and hurriedly made the Water Cold Sword spin around quickly. After one circle, the frost condensed and formed a solid ice barrier. Blood Knife's powerful attack accurately hit the ice barrier, only slightly weakening his attack power, but Feiyu still tried his best to block the attack with both hands. Seeing that Feiyu was holding on, Blood Knife's expression did not change, and then he quickly retracted his long sword and slashed again. Although the force was slightly weaker, it was to catch Feiyu off guard at the moment when he was not prepared.
Feiyu had not expected that Blood Knife could make another strike right after his full-strength strike. He had exhausted all his strength and could only raise his sword to defend. However, his hasty defense was not as good as Blood Knife's carefully planned attack. In an instant, Feiyu's left wrist was numb and painful, and his entire left arm seemed to have lost its strength.
Blood Knife naturally seized this opportunity, raised the blade again, and rushed towards Feiyu fiercely. Feiyu was also aroused by anger at this time, ignoring the weakness of his left arm, condensing ice energy in both hands to enhance the attack power, and attacked Blood Knife head-on.
Seeing this, all the companions of Fenghuoshan rushed forward bravely. The two shields of the Xuanwu team merged into one, one person held the shield to cover, and the other swung the sledgehammer to form a shock wave. The left Suzaku team followed closely and launched an assault on the bandits; the right Suzaku team retreated to the vicinity of the Qinglong team to form a defense line, allowing the Qinglong team to attack with all their strength. This was the second tactical formation of Fenghuoshan, which protected teammates while launching attacks and provided the Qinglong team with the best fighting space.
The bandits had not foreseen that Fenghuoshan would suddenly adjust its tactics, and were caught off guard in defense. Their original charge formation was instantly broken up, and they were stuck in a deadlock, where they could only helplessly resist Fenghuoshan's fierce attack.
However, how could a mere mortal bandit resist the full force of Fenghuoshan? The iron shields cleared the way, the iron hammers on both sides cleared all the enemy troops, and the left Suzaku team cleaned up the fish that slipped through the net. In an instant, the bandit camp suffered a heavy blow.
The bosses on other hills realized that the situation was not good and immediately joined the battle to reduce the losses of their own teams. The pace of attack on Fenghuoshan also slowed down due to the addition of these masters.
However, the good times did not last long. After all, Fenghuoshan's iron shield was made of fine iron and had amazing defensive power. Although they could slightly slow down Fenghuoshan's charge speed, they could not really stop it. As a result, the bandits' casualties continued to soar.
