"Brothers, be careful. Attack from the sides."
The leader was a smart man. He had observed the situation and realized that the poisoned ones were all his subordinates in front of the carriages. As such, he ordered his brothers to attack from the sides of the carriages without stopping. This way, they wouldn't be so easily ambushed.
"Again!"
Old Zhong used his Sandstorm Technique once more when he saw the bandits charging at him. The bandits used their shields to block in front of them as they circled the carriages from the sides.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Another barrage of blades shot out, striking the legs of a few bandits. In just a moment, they would all be poisoned to death.
"Put your legs back on your horses and charge!"
"Those who are poisoned, take an antidote."
The leader was prepared this time and immediately came up with a countermeasure. As expected of the leader of the bandits, he was quite capable. When the bandits heard this, they obediently put their legs back on their horses, raised their shields in front of them, and charged forward. As long as they could get to the side of the carriages, they wouldn't have to worry about the traps.
Would there really be no problem if he kept his legs? Of course, it was not that simple. This time, Du Feng didn't shoot at the bandits. Instead, he shot at the horses. He didn't aim anywhere else, but at the horses' legs.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
A row of blades shot out, accurately slicing through the tendons of the horses' forelegs. No matter how strong a horse was, it wouldn't be able to stand steadily if its forelegs were injured, let alone when they were charging at full speed. In the end, there was a series of thuds as the horses in front all fell to the ground.
As soon as the horses fell, the bandits were thrown to the ground as well. What awaited them was a second wave of poisoned blades. Even more unlucky were the horses behind them tripped over by the men and horses in front of them. Some of the bandits weren't poisoned to death, but they were trampled to death by their comrades' horses.
The scene was chaotic, but Su Susu was laughing happily in the carriage. If she had to face so many bandits, she would definitely have shot all of her blades at them, and then she would have been dumbfounded. Du Feng had shot all the way to the front and also the back. This was a powerful move.
Du Feng had only dared to do this because he had discovered a problem. Old Zhong and the three leaders of the bandits were all at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, but none of them could fly into the sky. In other words, a Peak Ultimate Emperor Realm Cultivation cultivator would not be able to walk through the air or fly in the Heavenly Realm.
This makes things much easier. The highwaymen and highwaymen leaders are unable to launch attacks from the sky, and the sturdy carriage is practically a fortress.
"Damn it, Third Bro, you go and overturn the carriage. I'll deal with Old Zhong."
The second boss became anxious and decided to personally deal with the coachman. In this way, Mr. Zhong would not be able to interfere with the horse bandits' charge with the sandstorm. It would be even better if the strong Third Master could overturn the carriage.
"Yes!"
The Third Head nodded in agreement. Then, he activated his cultivation technique and a layer of scales appeared on his body. With his arms protecting his head, he leaned forward and charged forward like a raging bull.
At the same time, the Second Head leaped up. Although he could not fly, he could jump very high with the strength of the muscles in his legs. He brandished the Zhanmadao in his hand, intending to hack Old Zhong to death.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! "
Just at this crucial moment, two thick crossbow bolts were fired. One was aimed at the charging Third Head, while the other was aimed at the mid-air Second Head.
The Third Head was the first to take the brunt of the attack and was sent flying by the powerful force of the crossbow bolt. He fell into the yellow sand and remained motionless. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. The Second Head was somewhat unlucky. He had jumped into the air and slashed out with his saber. All of his attention was focused on the coachman, so it was too late for him to change his attack.
"Watch my palm!"
Old Zhong was quite vicious. He took advantage of this opportunity to strike out with his palm. Although it was not very powerful, it was enough to disturb the Second Head.
"Ah!"
The Second Head was unable to dodge in time and was struck in the abdomen by the crossbow bolt, creating a large hole. His vitality was quite tenacious. After landing on the ground, he did a roll and actually retreated. He took out an antidote and quickly sprinkled it on the wound on his abdomen.
His antidote seemed to be slightly more effective than the ordinary highwaymen's antidote pills. After sprinkling it on the wound, the black blood actually turned red again.
Interesting. It seemed that the Second Head was an expert in using poison. His antidote was probably more precious, so he couldn't bear to use it on his brothers. After all, the coachman's poison was too simple. It was only effective against ordinary highwaymen. But against a poison expert like the Second Head, it would not be as effective.
This battle gave Du Feng another clue. Cultivators at the peak of the Ultimate Emperor Realm were unable to use powerful long-range attacks. In other words, they could only fight at close range with their fists and feet or with weapons.
If they used fist techniques or palm techniques, they could still use them, but they would not be very powerful. They could only use wind and sand to disturb their opponents, or use the wind from their palms to make their opponents' eyes uncomfortable.
The restrictions of the Heaven Realm were quite strong. No wonder cultivators from the lower realms only dared to come to the Heaven Realm after reaching the Heaven Realm. The Heaven Realm was the lowest rank of spirit immortals in the Heaven Realm. Anyone below this realm could not be considered a true immortal of the Heaven Realm.
This was getting more and more interesting. If that was the case … Wouldn't a Heaven Realm cultivator be invincible in the Land of Exiles? Others could only attack at close range. Only he could use immortal techniques and abilities to kill his enemies from afar.
Du Feng wanted to see what the Second Head was going to do next. He shouted, "Brothers, let's retreat!"
Following that, the surviving highwaymen turned tail and ran. Some of them fell off their horses and didn't die. They didn't care about their horses anymore and started to run for their lives. The Second Head was quite capable. He was able to endure such a large wound on his abdomen. Grabbing a horse, he mounted it and galloped away.
Intentionally, the Third Master who had led the charge had been forgotten by the horse bandits in the sand.
"Hahaha, that was a good fight."
Su Susu was so happy that she clapped her hands in the carriage and almost kissed Du Feng when the horse bandits were all dead and the danger was finally over. If not for Mr. Du's presence, she and Old Zhong would have been taken to the highwaymen's lair even if they didn't die. That would be worse than death.
"They're all gone. Get up. Stop playing dead."
