In his previous life, he had never even killed a chicken, needless to say, a human. But humans change.
Life shaped a person, and it also changed a person.
In his previous life, when he caught the eye of a few seniors in the military and was promoted, Wang Chong killed for the first time in his life.
Looking at the red and white blood flowing out, Wang Chong vomited even more violently than Bai Siling did.
But when his comrades and comrades fell one after another, and the familiar land of the Nine Continents burned to ashes, Wang Chong never vomited again.
After vomiting out all of his weakness, all that was left in Wang Chong's heart was determination.
But these were things that Wang Chong wouldn't tell Bai Siling.
Compared to the mission on his shoulders and the predicament he was in, all of his personal pride and disgrace, gains and losses, and even his feelings and fears, were insignificant.
"Siling, it's not that I won't vomit like you, but there are some things that are more important than these severed limbs that you see. If we can't find a way to defeat those highwaymen and bandits, the ones lying on this road would be us, Xu Gan, and Huang Yongtu's corpses! "
Wang Chong said slowly as he looked at Bai Siling's back.
Bai Siling was taken aback for a moment before she slowly raised her head to look at the determined and determined face of the young man behind her. For some reason, Bai Siling suddenly felt an indescribable sense of attraction from the young man behind her.
In that instant, even the disgust and disgust in her heart subsided.
"Let's go, time waits for no one! Xu Gan, Huang Yongtu, and the others are still waiting for us! "
Standing behind Bai Siling, Wang Chong stretched out his hand and said.
Bai Siling subconsciously reached out a hand and grabbed Wang Chong's palm. She felt a sense of security and dependence that she had never felt before.
In a trance, Bai Siling had forgotten that this lofty and indifferent youth in front of her was actually much younger than her.
"Go!"
With a flick of the whip, the forty Tang dynasty cavalrymen, along with Wang Chong and Bai Siling, charged toward the Iron Cloak Highwaymen.
…
"Leader, leader!"
"This is bad! This is bad! "
On the right side of the mountain path, two stallions suddenly emerged from the forest, and two bandits leaped down from the backs of their steeds. Frightened out of their wits, they kneeled before Iron Cloak Li.
"My brother was killed …"
"Speak clearly. How many people were killed? Where are the others? "
Standing on the boulder, Iron Cloak Li said with a livid face.
"Dead! Other than the two of us, all of our brothers were killed! "
The two Iron Cloak Highwaymen trembled in fear as they replied.
To the east of Longxi, the Iron Cloak Highwaymen were known for their ferocity and fearlessness. But in that short instant, they were truly terrified.
Forty mounted bandits and sixty Iron Cloak Highwaymen, a group of a hundred men, were slaughtered in just a few moments.
Broken limbs and corpses piled up like a mountain on the road.
On the other hand, there wasn't a single casualty on Wang Chong's side.
That kind of ferocity was unimaginable to those who hadn't experienced it themselves.
"What?!"
As soon as their voices fell, two bangs rang out, and they were sent flying almost simultaneously. Retracting his palm, Iron Cloak Li's complexion turned awful.
Even though he and the military advisor didn't give chase, they had been paying close attention to the movements in the distance. When the deafening battle cries finally disappeared, Iron Cloak Li had already sensed that something was amiss.
But in Iron Cloak Li's view, his brothers were experts in horsemanship. Even if they couldn't defeat the bandits, they should still be able to escape.
Perhaps, they might even be able to kill a few of the Tang dynasty's soldiers. That would be even better.
But for more than a hundred of his subordinates to be slaughtered, with the exception of two, this was truly out of Iron Cloak Li's expectations.
Furthermore, from the looks of it, it seemed like the other party had intentionally let the two of them escape.
This made Iron Cloak Li's complexion turn awful.
"Zhou An, how are the preparations on your side?"
Iron Cloak Li asked grimly as he turned to the military advisor beside him.
"I still need a while more. Judging from the alertness of those bandits, I'm afraid that it'll take a little more time."
Zhou An replied with an awful complexion as well.
Even though the Iron Cloak Highwaymen had the advantage in numbers, it was still a considerable loss for them to lose a hundred of their subordinates in a single go.
The only thing that could make the two of them feel better was that those bandits who had just joined them weren't too great of a loss to the Iron Cloak Highwaymen.
When a new group of bandits appeared, they would be able to replenish their numbers.
As for the sixty highwaymen who had died, it was truly a heart-wrenching sight to behold.
However, those were the weakest of the Iron Cloak Highwaymen, and only a few of them had reached True Martial realm. From this point of view, although a hundred of their brothers had died, they were all the weakest in the lower ranks, so it wasn't a serious loss.
"Un."
Iron Cloak Li nodded as he clenched his right hand into a fist and spoke with killing intent.
"Once you're done with your preparations, I'll make a move personally and slaughter those fellows!"
Up till now, the Iron Cloak Highwaymen had never suffered such heavy losses. Including those whom Wang Chong had killed previously, he had already killed more than a hundred of them.
Iron Cloak Li had to admit that he had underestimated these forty cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty.
In terms of fighting prowess, they were definitely much stronger than those on the slope. However, Wang Chong and the others had also succeeded in infuriating Iron Cloak Li.
If Iron Cloak Li was only trying to win over the hearts of his subordinates and intimidate them previously, at this moment, he was bent on killing Wang Chong and the others.
"Let's wait for a moment first. We'll wipe out all of the Tang soldiers on the slope together with them!"
Iron Cloak Li spat.
In his eyes, the Tang soldiers on the slope were no different from birds in a cage. The only reason why he didn't slaughter them was because he was afraid that Wang Chong and the others would leave once they had nothing to worry about.
Di da da!
Just as he was fuming with rage, the sound of galloping galloping could be heard from afar, accompanied by a cloud of dust.
Turning around a corner, Wang Chong led the way with Bai Siling on his right. Leading the forty cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty, they slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Boom!
When Wang Chong appeared with the forty cavalrymen, a deafening cheer suddenly sounded from the slope.
Zhang Lin, Xu Gan, Huang Yongtu, and the other cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty all stood up in agitation.
Regardless of the conflicts and conflicts they had previously, at this moment, Wang Chong's appearance had filled them with unprecedented hope.
"Unbelievable!"
"He really did it!"
"They really killed more than a hundred bandits and highwaymen!"
"Not a single one of them was missing!"
…
The crowd was excited. When more than a hundred people went out and only two returned, the crowd already knew the result.
But who could have thought that not a single one of the forty cavalrymen would die?
"Unbelievable! How did that lad do it?"
Looking at Wang Chong and the forty cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty, Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu muttered in astonishment.
They were veterans who had fought against the highwaymen and highwaymen. Just like that, more than a dozen veterans of the Tang dynasty were slumbering in this place.
But despite dragging more than a hundred highwaymen and bandits out, Wang Chong still managed to annihilate all of them while coming out unscathed.
This result was simply like a miracle.
Xu Gan and Huang Yongtu knew that it was impossible for them to achieve such a feat.
This was the first time that they were deeply impressed by the strength that Wang Chong had displayed.
"Lad, report your name! Who in the world are you? "
A loud voice came from the back of the densely packed bandits and horse bandits. The crowd stirred and parted like a wave, creating a straight 'path' on its own.
Behind this path was a massive boulder, and standing on top of it was the leader of the Iron Cloak Highwaymen, Iron Cloak Li.
That eight-foot-tall figure, even separated by layers of space, still gave people a strong sense of oppression.
As soon as Wang Chong appeared, Iron Cloak Li's gaze immediately fell on Wang Chong.
Hundreds of gazes were directed at Wang Chong from all directions. Even Zhang Lin, Xu Gan, and the others, who were hiding behind a makeshift shelter, were paying close attention to Wang Chong as well.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly grave and somber.
Di da!
Wang Chong urged his steed forward. Facing the hundreds of gazes, Wang Chong showed no fear at all.
"Iron Cloak Highwaymen, you sure are gutsy to dare attack the army of the royal court. Do you know the consequences of making an enemy out of the royal court? "
Paying no heed to Iron Cloak Li, who was standing on top of the boulder, Wang Chong swept his gaze across the surrounding highwaymen.
"What a joke! You have already come knocking on our door. Wherever you went, you left no one alive. Who knows how many bandits died in your hands? Are we not allowed to retaliate? Officials can kill bandits, and naturally, bandits can kill officials as well! "
Iron Cloak Li sneered furiously as an unruly aura emanated from him.
"Hmph, the world is bright, and the sun and moon are shining brightly. To think that you bunch of bandits, invading the lands of the Tang dynasty as kings, and sparing the lives of those who have committed crimes. The imperial army suppresses the bandits, pacifies the people, this is a righteous act, it is a reasonable act. Are we supposed to allow you bunch of bandits to wreak havoc in the world?
"You should know the strength of the royal court. With just forty of us, we can easily wipe out a hundred of you without suffering any injuries. When the true army of the royal court appears, you should know what will happen to you. I advise you to make use of this opportunity to repent and turn over a new leaf. There's still time. "
Wang Chong's gaze was as sharp as a bolt of lightning. Coupled with the feat he had just accomplished, his gaze exerted immense pressure on everyone.
For a moment, the entire area fell silent.
