Chapter 116 Igniting the Flames, Turning the Enemy to a Surrender

When they encountered a few men sent by the leader, Lin Feng glanced at his bandits, rubbing a few steel balls together in his hand, making a rattling sound.

"I am a general of the Hemp-Clad Guard of Qinghe County, ordered to infiltrate the Heavenly Serpent Gang."

Lin Feng lit a tinderbox and threw it onto the kerosene that had been prepared beforehand.

With a whoosh, the fire broke out.

The bandits all took a step back, moving away from the nearby fire.

Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the thick smoke rise.

The smoke was so thick you could see it from a great distance.

Lin Feng continued, "This is the signal. The Sword Sect's army saw the signal and is now rushing here."

Once the army arrives, the Heavenly Serpent Gang will surely be slaughtered.

We've met before, so if you don't want to die, come with me.

One of Lin Feng's centurions said, "Brother, I have a murder case on my hands. Will I be able to save my life if I go with you?"

Lin Feng told the truth, "I can't guarantee that."

Your abandonment of darkness and embrace of light, along with my sending of signals, has earned you a merit.

Even if someone has committed a serious crime, they should be treated leniently.

I doubt I'll lose my life.

The centurion nodded.

If Lin Feng were to make a grand promise that everyone would be fine if they followed him, then the people might still have doubts.

They still believe Lin Feng to some extent now.

The centurion shouted, "The men the boss sent to monitor us are dead, and the fire is burning!"

Even if we return to the bandit's capital, we'll probably be dealt with.

I left with my older brother.

The boss's men will be here to check soon.

Time is of the essence; brothers, make a decision quickly.

The bandits all expressed their desire to follow Lin Feng.

The Sword Sect's army is about to arrive. If we don't follow Lin Feng, are we just going to wait here to die?

Moreover, Lin Feng was also holding a hidden weapon in his hand.

They had just witnessed the power of those hidden weapons; there was no way to dodge them.

Anyone who disagrees will probably be shot dead.

"I'll go with my older brother."

“I’m going with my older brother too.”

“I have a life on my hands, and I have done a good deed by following my elder brother this time. My merits and demerits cancel each other out, so it shouldn’t cost me my life.”

……

While everyone was talking, a large fire had already started nearby, and it looked like it wouldn't be able to be extinguished anytime soon.

Lin Feng said, "Everyone can come with me."

Don't even think about sneaking back to the Heavenly Serpent Gang to report this.

My hidden weapons are no joke.

Moreover, it's too late to send the message now; the Sword Sect's army will arrive soon.

A centurion said, "Don't worry, brother. Since we've chosen to follow you, we'll follow you to the end."

Other bandits echoed his sentiments.

Looking at the thick smoke rising into the sky, Lin Feng sensed that the leader's men were arriving soon.

"Let's not delay, let's all go together, head towards the Qinghe Line."

Several centurions led the way and began running towards Qinghe County.

They were also afraid that the Heavenly Serpent Gang bandits would indiscriminately send people to kill them.

Lin Feng didn't take the lead; instead, he followed behind the group.

There must be spies planted by the boss among these people.

Lin Feng used his flying sword technique to pierce the clouds, remaining on the treetops the entire time, looking down at the bandits below.

……

When General Hong Baichuan of the Iron Sword Army saw thick smoke rising from the sky in the distance, his men shouted, "General, there's a fire!"

Hong Baichuan stomped his foot and flew to the top of the tree.

He was overjoyed as he looked at the thick smoke in the distance, feeling that his trip hadn't been in vain.

How many years has it been since the Iron Sword Army fought a war?

I should also make some contributions and get promoted.

Zheng Tiejun, Zhang Xiaoyu, and several other members of the Ma Yiwei all breathed a sigh of relief.

Zheng Tiejun felt relieved because the matter hadn't ended abruptly.

Zhang Xiaoyu and the others breathed a sigh of relief because Lin Feng was still alive.

Hong Baichuan shouted loudly, "Brothers, the time has come to make our mark! First Battalion, follow me toward the fire!"

The brothers from the other nineteen battalions dispersed and converged towards the firelight, making sure no one escaped.

In the Iron Sword Army's organization, a battalion consisted of five hundred men.

This time, Hong Baichuan brought a full twenty battalions.

After Hong Baichuan finished speaking, the soldiers of each battalion began to advance towards the direction of the fire, which was expected to take half an hour to arrive.

……

After running for a while, Lin Feng's group found that two people were indeed trying to sneak away from the group.

Swoosh, swoosh, puff, puff.

Lin Feng fired two shots of crimson gold glass, killing the two men.

The two men were more than a hundred meters away from Lin Feng, but they still couldn't dodge Lin Feng's hidden weapon.

The other bandits stopped when they saw Lin Feng shoot and kill the two people.

A centurion said, "Brother, what are you doing?"

Lin Feng jumped down from the tree. "These two were the boss's spies. They tried to escape and report back, but I killed them."

This has nothing to do with you, please move on.

A centurion thought for a moment and said, "Brother, are you perhaps the mad swordsman from Qinghe County?"

Lin Feng looked at the centurion and asked, "Do you know me?"

The centurion clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I am a local from Qinghe County."

How could the people of Qinghe County not know the elder brother's formidable reputation?

The story of the eldest brother slaying thousands of Heavenly Serpent Gang bandits on the banks of the Longyuan River is already well-known in Qinghe County.

The bandits were shocked upon hearing this.

The centurion addressed the bandits, saying, "Our leader is incredibly brave and capable of killing us all."

The eldest brother didn't do that; he just wanted to give his brothers a way out.

"My brothers all have ulterior motives; let's follow our leader down this dark path."

"I swear to follow my elder brother to the death."

"Brother, I'm entrusting these two hundred-odd pounds of my belongings to you."

Lin Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd, saying, "I, Lin, will do my utmost to protect the lives of all my brothers."

The bandits continued onward, and no one dared to leave the group.

……

Standing on the city wall of the bandits, the chief and the second chief looked at the thick smoke rising from the sky several miles away and had a bad feeling.

The second-in-command pointed in that direction and said, "Big brother, why is there a fire over there? Is the ninth leader up to something again?"

The leader's face darkened. "Setting fire at this distance could easily expose the location of the main city."

My men couldn't possibly fail to stop it.

Something must have happened over there.

The second-in-command looked at the first-in-command and asked, "You suspect that the ninth-in-command is a spy?"

The leader said, "We'll know once we go and take a look."

The leader waved his hand, and a hundred-man squad behind him rushed toward the direction of the fire.

The second-in-command thought for a moment and then jumped off the city wall.

She used her lightness skill, stepping on the treetops, and flew towards the firelight.

Wherever the second-in-command passed by, the bandits there would look up to admire her graceful figure.

Some of the bandits looked up for a while, and then their noses started bleeding.

These bandits were unaware of the impending crisis; otherwise, they certainly wouldn't be in the mood to appreciate the spring scenery.

When the bandits sent by the second and first leaders arrived at the fire, they didn't see a single living person, only a dozen or so bandits who had been killed by Lin Feng on the ground.

The fire has already started and is showing signs of spreading.

The men sent by the chief looked rather grim; such a large fire couldn't be extinguished in a short time.

However, we can't just leave it unattended; if the fire spreads towards the main city, it will be a real problem.

The leader sent a few men to report back to the chief, while the others were busy putting out the fire.

The second-in-command's face also turned somewhat ugly. He hadn't expected the ninth-in-command to be a spy; he had misjudged him this time.

She examined the traces left by Lin Feng and the others, and then chased after them in the direction Lin Feng had gone.
