Can't a girl be a traitor like Cao Cao?

Could all my 40 years of hard work and dedication be negated by just one sentence?

Who exactly is this woman...?

Before Li Zheng could figure it out, he saw Chi Junlin flick his spear.

An astonishingly domineering aura surged forth from her.

Only a martial artist of Li Zheng's caliber could truly grasp just how terrifying Chi Junlin was at this moment.

That was the path to heaven that he could only see after climbing to a high peak and looking into the distance; it was a path that he could never reach again!

"Watch closely, this is the true Emperor's Overlord Spear."

Chi Junlin slowly opened his mouth and said this sentence to Li Zheng in a calm tone.

Li Zheng was deeply shocked upon hearing these words.

Because at that moment, he finally made up his mind.

This woman is definitely the successor of the Crimson Clan's Overlord Spear!

That's why she's so familiar with her own moves, able to counter them instantly!

The moment Li Zheng heard Chi Junlin speak, he had no time to think.

Because Chi Junlin held the gun with both hands, the gun tip pressed down at an angle.

She had left her original position and took a powerful step forward with the Heavenly Gang Step.

With a sudden burst of dust, Chi Junlin's fierce spear attack came crashing down with his footsteps!

Li Zheng was astonished and already considered retreating.

But the Red Emperor's strength caught up too quickly!

Before they could even react, an extremely powerful killing move was already upon them!

The spearhead that Chi Junlin swung out, like a silver dragon emerging from the sea, had already reached Li Zheng's chest.

He only had time to slightly turn the gun and hold it in front of him.

But it was all in vain.

Can't help it!

It's impossible to defend against!

This is Chi Junlin's all-out attack, a culmination of his own spear technique and four hundred years of accumulated power!

"Boom" a loud noise!

The fierce energy transmitted from the gun passed through Li Zheng's arms and struck his body hard.

The muddy ground beneath his feet was instantly pressed down three inches.

The person's entire body was almost crushed.

A semi-circular vacuum region formed around him.

Smoke and dust flew in all directions!

This was merely the aftershock of the gun's momentum that had emanated from Li Zheng's body!

This is the most domineering killing move of the Emperor's Overlord Spear.

The Overlord Disarms!

As the smoke and dust cleared, Chi Junlin slowly sheathed his gun.

She no longer needed to look at Li Zheng.

Since Li Zheng had taken this attack head-on, he had no way out.

Li Zheng's feet were embedded in the ground, and his body remained still.

But with that one shot, his meridians were severed, and his internal energy dissipated almost instantly, like a deflated balloon.

At this moment, although he did not appear to have fallen, his body was already like a porcelain bowl shattered into countless pieces.

It can no longer hold a single drop of water.

He looked at Chi Junlin with a deathly pale face, not even daring to breathe.

Because he knew that once he lost this breath, he would never be able to get back up again.

At this moment, Li Zheng only had one question for Chi Junlin.

"Has my Emperor's Domination Spear technique... reached its peak?"

At that moment, Chi Junlin arrived in front of Hui Ziheng and, seeing Hui Ziheng's shocked expression, casually tossed the gun back to him.

Upon hearing Li Zheng's question, Chi Junlin glanced at him.

He then replied, "So-so."

Upon hearing Chi Junlin's reply, Li Zheng seemed to have a knot in his heart untied.

After plunging the gun into the mud with his backhand, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Then, he just stood there and died.

Chi Junlin sighed slightly, then looked at Hui Ziheng and said, "Next time, grip the gun tighter."

Hui Ziheng nodded immediately, and his gaze toward Chi Junlin was filled with even more admiration.

Chi Junlin then gestured, instructing him to lead his elite troops into the fortress to continue the battle that night.

With the help of another strong man, Hui Ziheng straightened up and respectfully bowed to Chi Junlin.

He then led a group of brave warriors, bypassed Li Zheng's corpse, and charged into the Water Gang's fortress once again.

It was at this moment that another person strolled out of the fortress.

Hui Ziheng and his group were taken aback when they saw the other party.

However, at this point they simply exchanged greetings and then passed each other.

Because the visitor was none other than someone else.

It was after fighting his way through the fortress that Wenren Tianxia emerged.

Chapter 277 Corpses strewn across the fields, blood flowing like rivers

Seeing Wenren Tianxia emerge from the fortress, Chi Junlin knew she must have come to find him.

At this moment, Wenren Tianxia was covered in blood, clearly having just gone through a fierce battle, and looked rather ferocious.

However, Chi Junlin did not pay any attention to it.

Instead, he turned to Wenren Tianxia with a smile and said, "What? You're out so early?"

Wenren Tianxia also saw the dead Li Zheng standing next to Chi Junlin at this moment, but he didn't pay any attention to it either.

Instead, he smiled brightly at Chi Junlin.

Then, holding up something in his hand, he said, "Are you cold? I found a fur coat for you inside."

Chi Junlin smiled upon hearing this, but did not refuse Wenren Tianxia's kind offer.

He took the fur coat from her and put it on.

Wenren Tianxia was very pleased when he saw it.

Then he turned his attention to Li Zheng's mutilated body.

He then asked, "Who is this person?"

Chi Junlin then turned to look at Li Zheng, and couldn't help but recall the military books and broken armor he had seen in the small courtyard where Li Zheng lived. He also roughly pieced together the past related to this man in his mind.

Without a doubt, Li Zheng was a sailor from the Southern Kingdom and had personally experienced the war of annihilation that the Great Zheng Dynasty waged against the Southern Kingdom.

At that time, he witnessed firsthand the valiant and heroic figure of Chi Junlin's grandfather, the Prince of Zhenbei, on the battlefield.

Chi Zhongxin's Emperor's Overlord Spear must have left a very deep impression on Li Zheng at that time.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so many years practicing the art of the spear, hoping that one day he could dominate the world with his spear skills.

Unfortunately, Li Zheng's martial arts skills only reached their limit by working behind closed doors in Dongting.

He was unaware of the changing world situation, nor did he realize just how shallow his supposedly profound martial arts skills truly were.

Therefore, his fate was inevitable.

Thinking of this, Chi Junlin shook his head and replied to Wenren Tianxia, ​​"Just a frog in a well."

Wenren Tianxia didn't pay much attention to the guy in front of him. Hearing Chi Junlin say that, he nodded.

Then she turned and pointed to the fortress behind her.

Then, with a hint of excitement, he added, "There are still many gangsters inside who haven't come out."

Upon seeing her like this, Chi Junlin immediately understood Wenren Tianxia's thoughts.

He then laughed and said, "Would you like to compete with me in the number of river bandits I kill?"

Wenren Tianxia nodded.

He continued, "Let's see who kills more enemies!"

"it is good!"

As they talked, the two entered the fortress hand in hand.

The smoke of battle had not yet cleared when flames began to rise everywhere.

Clearly, Hui Ziheng, who had led his elite young men into the fortress, had already begun the massacre inside before them.

-

The main force of the Xiangshui County navy departed the port quite late.

When they were fully assembled, ready, and about to launch their attack, things dragged on.

Prefectural Assistant Mao Qingyan used the excuse that the sailors lacked experience in night battles and that there might be casualties.

Therefore, the formal attack on the island was delayed until dawn.

In a typical battle between two armies, if this dragged on, the other side would have already prepared their defenses, and it would be too late.

However, this was actually within Red King's expectations.

The newly formed navy of Xiangshui County, numbering over three thousand, participated in the attack and was divided into three groups, each led by the county governor, the county assistant governor, and the county commandant.

Chi Junlin had already instructed everyone during the training that when the attack on the main island of the Water Gang was about maintaining stability.

As long as we proceed steadily, maintain a tight encirclement, and prevent any pirates from escaping, we will have fulfilled our respective duties.

But Mao Qingyan still couldn't understand why this bunch of new recruits from Xiangshui County could win by simply surrounding them.

Are all river bandits brainless idiots who surrendered at the mere sight of the imperial army?

Seeing that more than 3,000 people had surrounded and trapped the main island, the newly formed sailors on the ship appeared nervous and panicked, and many of them fell into the water before they even saw anyone.

Mao Qingyan couldn't help but sneer, feeling that this operation was extremely childish.

But at that moment, flames rose all over the island, and shouts of battle filled the air.

He couldn't help but show a suspicious expression.

Why is chaos breaking out on the island when all the main forces are here?

Could there be reinforcements borrowed from outside?

Just as Mao Qingyan was feeling anxious and uncertain, he saw splashes of water ahead, like a school of fish surging.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were actually a large number of pirates fleeing the main island in a panic. Since there were no boats on the island, they had no choice but to swim to escape.

But to their surprise, the main force of the county troops was already waiting on the lake.

Upon seeing a large number of unarmed pirates approaching them, the sailors on the ship immediately became extremely excited and thrust their steel forks into the water, like spearfishing.

In an instant, the lake turned a bloody red, and countless bandits perished in the fish's belly.

Mao Qingyan was terrified as he watched, and couldn't help but wonder if the Dongting Lake bandits were really going to be wiped out in this battle.

He was somewhat incredulous, but then a brilliant idea struck him.

He immediately ordered his men to charge forward, preparing to be the first to land on the island and compete for military merit.
