Chapter 772: Chapter 308: Shocking Turn, Grave Injuries, and Restless Hearts_4
Unlike the previous assassination attempt on Xia Hong, initially only Liu Yuan and a group of Cold Resistance level and the six hundred Cloud Dragon Army made a move. After he killed Li Xuantiang, the over four thousand Earth-digging Realm also joined in, including more and more arriving from elsewhere.
Although Han Jiuli and the other three were strong, surrounded by so many, they couldn’t escape and could only wait for Xia Hong to kill them one by one.
The first one Xia Hong killed was Han Jiuli, who was relatively the strongest.
Han Jiuli, who was being surrounded by Hou Jing and his men, had already fled to the vicinity of the Iron Stake Wall on the east side of the camp, just one step away from flipping over the wall to escape, but unfortunately, Xia Hong arrived in time and beheaded him with a single stroke.
Next, only the weaker Cheng Guang, Song Kang, and Yue Qian were left.
Xia Hong went after Song Kang first, his Yanhan Blade slashed his shoulder, and thick smoke billowed instantly.
"Leader Xia, spare my life..."
Oh!
Just as Xia Hong was about to behead him with force, Song Kang actually pleaded for mercy, and the blue-flaming big saber in his hand vanished.
"Able to regain consciousness, unlike Li Xuantiang and Han Jiuli!"
Xia Hong’s eyes flickered slightly, he immediately withdrew his big saber, and kicked him over towards Liu Yuan and the others, then similarly captured Cheng Guang and Yue Qian alive.
Seeing Xia Hong cleanly resolve the five people, everyone present was full of admiration and shock, especially the Cloud Dragon Army soldiers, whose eyes were filled with fervor.
But this fervor quickly turned into deep worry.
Spurt........
Xia Hong suddenly spewed a mouthful of blood, his already pale face darkened further, and his entire aura instantly wilted to the extreme.
"Leader!"
"Leader, how are you?"
Liu Yuan, full of shock, rushed directly to Xia Hong’s side, with Peng Bo following closely behind.
Chen Yingba stood in place for a moment in thought, then also slowly walked up.
The remaining eight, including Hou Jing, had complex expressions on their faces.
"Liu Yuan, Peng Bo, take me into the main building, Cloud Dragon Army, guard beside, don’t let anyone approach, Hou Jing, you watch over the camp with the others, if anything happens, I’ll hold you accountable."
"Understood, subordinate obeys!"
Hou Jing immediately nodded in compliance;
Liu Yuan skipped the formalities, directly carrying Xia Hong towards the main building, the six hundred Cloud Dragon Army didn’t need to be called, they automatically followed behind.
"Is the leader seriously injured?"
"Definitely seriously injured, those first four strikes all hurt his bones, and that last strike from Li Xuantiang was even more terrifying, definitely seriously injured."
"Only called Liu Yuan and Peng Bo, and let six hundred Cloud Dragon Army guard, not allowing anyone near the main building, which basically means he doesn’t trust us!"
.........
"Silence!"
Hou Jing directly interrupted Dong Zhong, Yu Bin, and the others’ whispers, looked up at the sky, and ordered: "It’s almost dawn, the camp should quiet down for a while, the camp has about more than ten thousand in Earth-digging realm, select a thousand of the most elite to guard the perimeter of the main building, with the remaining nine thousand, we’ll each take a thousand and continue watching the camp, just wait for the leader’s orders!"
Although the eight expressed differing emotions, they still nodded.
Suddenly, Hou Jing noticeably realized something, with a hint of surprise on his face, he abruptly looked towards the north side of the camp.
"Someone’s coming?"
"A lot, eleven people."
"Who is it, could it be Li Xuanling’s group?"
"Probably not."
......
The remaining eight also gradually noticed, all turning to look north.
"Leader, leader?"
Seeing the visitor was Yuwen Dao, Hou Jing visibly relaxed, but then noticed behind Yuwen Dao were ten people, using five iron pestles, rapidly carrying a massive square cauldron towards them.
Yuwen Dao seemed impatient, asked twice without getting an answer, and directly turned to Hou Jing asking: "Hou Jing senior, where is the leader?"
Hou Jing hesitated for a moment, but still directly explained what had just happened.
"The leader was ambushed and severely injured?"
"How is this possible?"
.........
Hearing about Xia Hong’s ambush and severe injuries, Yuwen Dao and the others showed expressions of disbelief, but then noticing the expressions of Hou Jing and the other nine, they realized the truth, their faces immediately filled with worry.
Of course, not just worry, but also anger.
"How was the leader ambushed?"
"A thousand Cloud Dragon Army, plus over ten thousand of you, what were you doing, just watching the assassin approach the leader?"
"Where’s Liu Yuan, Peng Bo, you have eleven Cold Resistance levels here, how did you let five assassins approach the leader and even injure him?"
"The leader is severely injured, how come none of you are even slightly injured?"
.........
Yue Feng, Li Yuankun, Zou Yuankai, and others immediately questioned Hou Jing and the nine in front of them, their words getting more and more unpleasant, regardless of their increasingly unsightly expressions.
"Enough, everyone quiet down, come with me to see the leader!"
Yuwen Dao now looked at Hou Jing and the others, clearly showing some displeasure, but still restrained himself, after silencing Yue Feng and the others, he directly led them towards the main building.
"The Cold Resistance level of Great Xia, their strength isn’t much, but their temper is getting bigger, huh!"
After the eleven walked towards the main building, and Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing also left, Yu Bin couldn’t help but speak coldly.
He’s the leader of Xiling, now in his sixties, being so openly insulted and questioned by a bunch of juniors, naturally felt it hard to swallow.
Dong Zhong also followed up, sneering: "After all, they’ll soon succeed Long Mountain’s mantle, becoming the new overlord of Longyou, bigger temper is only natural!"
Hou Jing didn’t respond, just listened calmly.
But Zhang Ying beside him suddenly spoke with a faint tone, "Besides Leader Xia Hong, the remaining Cold Resistance levels in Great Xia don’t seem all that strong......"
Hearing these words, Dong Zhong and Yu Bin exchanged a subtle look.
The two clearly intended to say something, but before they could, Hou Jing berated Zhang Ying, "Shut up, Zhang Ying, dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll take your head to the leader myself, go do your work!"
Hou Jing apparently held considerable authority in Zhang Ying’s view.
Hearing this, he didn’t dare to argue, nodded immediately, and turned to leave.
The remaining Yu Bin and Dong Zhong glanced at Hou Jing, furrowed their brows, then dared not speak further, directly turning away with their men to patrol the camp.
