"Ugh!"

The sound of someone choking out blood occurred again. Now that the dust cloud had gone, everyone got to see better what was going on…

"Brother Si-Feng!" As soon as the cloud of dust disappeared, Ga-Mu-Chen exclaimed with utmost shock because he saw that Si-Feng was lying still on the ground…

The sounds of choking out blood were from Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong…

"Master Tong!"

"Big Brother!"

Everyone in the Tian-Tang clan looked at Tong-Kuang with gratitude and delight. It was like they just witnessed god in front of them when Tong-Kuang came. Of course, for the bandits, it was like they were in a horrible nightmare…

For them, Si-Feng was like a god when he appeared to help them. But now he was unconscious, so their hope to survive was shattered…

"You… Darn you! I'll kill you for hurting brother Si-Feng!" Ga-Mu-Chen shouted out in anger. He got up with his halberd and soared at Tong-Kuang fiercely…

[The second stage of the Earthy Halberd technique; Invincible Halberd]

"Yah!"

[The second stage of the Sword of Cocoon; Ward Off]

Bang!

Ga-Mu-Chen's halberd clashed with Tong-Kuang's sword causing a loud noise that hurt everyone's ears instantly. The energy wave from the clash split the ground in the area apart…

Whoosh!

Ga-Mu-Chen was thrown back for many paces. He did not look comfortable at all and collapsed with a big gulp of blood…

"Ugh!"

"No matter who you are or where you're from, you won't be able to get out alive because I've already sent someone to report my leader at the castle!" Ga-Mu-Chen said while covering his chest. He let out a light smile after he finished the sentence…

Thud!

All of a sudden, a body fell to the floor, covered in blood…

"Is this the guy that you sent?" Tong-Kuang asked with a cold look while starting at Ga-Mu-Chen…

"What!?"

Ga-Mu-Chen's face turned pale with extreme surprise once he saw that the body was the guy that he sent to his leader…

"Hahaha! Is this it…? I guess this is it…" Ga-Mu-Chen said while looking up at the sky and started to let out crazy laughs. He then turned to look at Tong-Kuang and said, "Before I die, can I have your name?" He knelt in front of Tong-Kuang…

"Of course. My name is 'Tong-Kuang'."

Stab!

Tong-Kuang's sharp sword cut Ga-Mu-Chen's throat immediately after Tong-Kuang finished the sentence…

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Ga-Mu-Chen's head rolled down the ground, just like Ga-Mu-Long's, except that his eyes were all shut. Ga-Mu-Chen died in peace because he accepted his death with pride, unlike his brother, Ga-Mu-Long…

"Rest in peace! Amida Buddha!" Tong-Kuang said while cupping his fists to send Ga-Mu-Chen to the other side…

Then Tong-Kuang walked back to Si-Feng who was severely injured and suffering blood chokes…

Clomp! Clomp! Clomp!

Tong-Kuang stopped by Si-Feng and looked at him coldly and calmly without uttering any words…

"Tsk! No matter who you are, our leader would not let you live!" Si-Feng said while covering his chest and choking out blood. He stared at Tong-Kuang with a grudge…

He was upset at Tong-Kuang because Tong-Kuang intervened in the clash between him and Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong. Tong-Kuang helped the two fight with him with his superb energy level. Si-Feng thought it would not be this bad if Tong-Kuang's energy level was as equal as Yan-Yu and Ji-Zhung-Gong…

But Tong-Kuang's energy level was higher than Si-Feng's, so the clash between him and Tong-Kuang's group was a mess for him…

"And no matter who your leader is, I, Tong-Kuang, would never be afraid of him if he lays his hands on my men!" Tong-Kuang said while lifting his sword to prepare to cut Si-Feng's head, but then…

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

An energy wave was projected from the forest, forcing Tong-Kuang to use his sword to ward it off. He had to step back to dodge the energy wave…

Clomp!

As Tong-Kuang stepped away from Si-Feng, two men landed on the ground next to Si-Feng. One was tall and handsome. The other was muscular. The tall and handsome one reached Si-Feng and asked, "Are you alright, the fourth brother!?"

"The third brother! The second brother!" Si-Feng uttered difficultly because of extreme pain…

"Don't try to talk now!" The tall and handsome man said with utmost concern. He then turned to the muscular man and said, "The third brother! Use it!" The man said firmly…

"Use it?" The muscular man said while crinkling his eyebrows with hesitation…

"That's right. Otherwise, we can't defeat them." The tall and handsome man rushed to tell the muscular man to use something for the fight…

"I guess we have to use it! The fourth brother's life is much more precious than the thing." When the muscular man finished the sentence, he took out a good-sized ball of something from his spatial ring…

"That's my family's flame bomb!" Fan-He who was in the back shouted with shock to see what was in the hand of the muscular man…

"A flame bomb!?"

Tong-Kuang crinkled his eyebrows instantly. He had heard about the great impact of the flame bomb from Fan-He. So, he could speculate that the flame bomb in the muscular man's hand must be very deadly because it was not small at all…

"Why don't you eat this!?" The muscular man said while throwing the flame bomb at Tong-Kuang and the troops…

"Run, guys!" Tong-Kuang rushed to tell everyone to run away from the bomb instantly. He then lifted his sword and released an energy wave to push the flame bomb to land somewhere else…

Whoosh!

Thud!

Boom!

However, Tong-Kuang's energy wave could not do anything to the flame bomb at all. It broke through the energy wave and exploded on the ground. The flame from the explosion was greatly expanded…

"Argh!"

"Help! Help me!"

Several warriors cried out in pain as they failed to run away from the bomb. They were burning in the flame that was hard to put out…

Boom!

Not long after that, the deadly flame spread all over their bodies and burnt them completely…

Si-Feng and his saviors were gone from the scene by now, leaving behind Ga-Mu-Chen's men to rot in the flame…

"Darn it! They got away!" Yan-Yu, who was gaining his energy back, could escape the flame bomb. He was upset that Si-Feng and the other two were gone…

Tong-Kuang, at the same time, was trying to use his energy wave to put out the flame, but it was not an easy task. It took about a shichen before the flame died down…

Whoosh!

Tong-Kuang exhaled with exhaustion because he used a lot of energy trying to stop the flame from coming his and his men's way. He ordered Fan-He to see how many men were alive and injured…

"Respecting Master Tong-Kuang, we lost about 20 men in the flame, sir. And many of us are badly injured." Fan-He rushed to report Tong-Kuang after the examination…

"I see, take all the injured men to the first toll booth now! And have the strong ones demolish the place immediately!"

"Yes, sir!"

Tong-Kuang realized that this secret mission to invade the bandits' nest was not a secret anymore because the clash between him and Si-Feng was extremely loud. The bandits' commanders were also aware of the attack and could get away. So, it would not be good for them to stay at the second toll booth.

That was the reason why Tong-Kuang ordered his men to demolish the toll booth and move back to the first booth…

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The warriors started to take down the second toll booth and managed to destroy it well. Not only the bandits that were aware of the attack, but the travelers also were because there were always travelers going through this route. They all had to run for their lives too…

When things cooled down, the travelers came out from the hidden places and looked at the corpses that were scattered all over the place. They also looked at Tong-Kuang's troops and wondered why they dared to invade the nest of the Mountain Tiger Bandits…

"Who are these people? Don't they know the Mountain Tiger Bandits? How come they dared to invade them?" One of the travelers asked while feeling scared…

"How do I know that? I was running away from the attack with you since the beginning!" Another man said with extreme wonder…

"So, what do we do now? How can we travel to Greenland amid the invasion? We'll all get killed if we continue the journey!" A middle-aged man with a lot of belongings said while feeling angry at Tong-Kuang and his men…

Many travelers agreed with the middle-aged man. They normally used this route to go to their destinations. Even though they had to pay, it was the safest way for them…

Tong-Kuang noticed that the travelers criticized him harshly, but he understood them well. He knew that the invasion caused trouble for the travelers, but he could not do anything differently. He turned toward the travelers and said…

"I apologize for the inconvenience, but this is a war between us and the bandits. If you don't want to die, just get out of here!" Tong-Kuang said coldly…

The travelers did not know how to react when they heard that. They could not argue with him either because they were not martial artists. If they did, they might die. So, the only thing that they could do now was to get out of the place as soon as possible…

Not long after that, the travelers were all gone. The Tian-Tang's troops were the only ones there…

"Respecting Master Tong, we've transferred all the injured men back to the first toll booth successfully, sir. We've also brought back the dead with us." Fan-He updated the situation to Tong-Kuang…

"Good, thank you very much. Why don't you go take some rest?" Tong-Kuang responded to Fan-He calmly…

"Yes, sir!"

Exhale!

"Whatever comes, I guess…" Tong-Kuang exhaled while mumbling to himself. Then he looked around to give it a last check and walked away from the scene…
