My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 380 - 377: Old Horse

The burly man nodded, "That's right, I'm indeed not a bandit."

"Where are you from? Why would you help the bandits!" Miao Kuangfeng barked harshly.

"I am..." The burly man was about to speak when the bandit leader interrupted him.

"Old Ma, you talk too much!" the bandit leader shouted.

The burly man turned to look at the bandit leader, "I'll say whatever I want to say! You have no right to control me!"

"You..." The bandit leader's face twitched fiercely, "Don't forget your place! You're here to help me fight my enemies, not to mess things up for me!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you," the burly man said indifferently, "I'm helping you... because someone entrusted me to. In truth, I look down on you deep inside. People like you aren't worthy of knowing me."

"You..." the bandit leader was so angry he felt his lungs could explode, "Fine! Very good! I will tell the boss everything exactly as it happened today, and let him personally punish you."

"Suit yourself," the burly man snorted, "I'm not afraid at all."

"Enough talk, get moving!" the bandit leader roared, swinging his long spear toward Miao Kuangfeng with all his strength. The spear sliced through the air, emitting a piercing sound, and layers of ripples appeared in the sky.

The burly man advanced, raising his fist to strike. What did this mean? He wanted to fight with his bare hands?

"Bring it on!" Facing two adversaries, Miao Kuangfeng showed not the slightest hint of fear. Clenching Da Dao in his left hand and forming a fist with his right, he struck the bandit leader with his blade, and the burly man with his fist.

"Crackling and snapping!"

"Cackling maniacally!"

"Clanging fiercely!"

The three went from fighting on the ground to clashing in the air and then back to the ground again, exchanging over a hundred moves in the blink of an eye, with no one gaining the upper hand.

"Old Ma, stop hiding your tricks; bring out your weapon and join forces with me to kill this Miao fellow," the bandit leader yelled forcefully, "We need a quick battle to end this swiftly, no more dragging it out."

The burly man glanced indifferently at the bandit leader, "I don't need you to tell me how to fight."

"You..." the bandit leader was seething with rage, muttering curses under his breath. "Just wait, once we've dealt with these soldiers, I'm going to report you to the patriarch and watch you suffer the consequences."

"Whoosh!"

A cold Blade Qi whizzed past the bandit leader's ear, vanishing in a flash, startling him into breaking out in a cold sweat. Miao Kuangfeng was stronger than he had anticipated. It was impossible to slay Miao Kuangfeng without making sacrifices since he was such a formidable opponent.

"Damn it all! I'm going all out!" The bandit leader bit his tongue forcefully, then spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His aura suddenly intensified. To kill Miao Kuangfeng, the bandit leader used a secret technique to forcibly enhance his strength, essentially, a self-mutilating way to unleash his body's potential. While his strength increased, the aftereffects were severe.

"You're fighting to the death?" Miao Kuangfeng sneered, "Even if I die in battle today, I'll still drag you down with me!" Miao Kuangfeng was ruthless, not just toward his enemies, but also toward himself. He was prepared to die today, and even in death, he intended to eradicate these bandits!

Seeing both the bandit leader and Miao Kuangfeng ready for a desperate fight, the burly man sighed. What's the point? Couldn't we just sit down, have some tea, and talk slowly? Why resort to fighting and killing, which is so unpleasant!

He was merely venting in his head, never voicing out loud because he knew well that bandits existed to oppose the authorities and deplete their strength as much as possible. It was a bind that could never be untied, a permanent impasse.

"Miao Kuangfeng, you are a real man! Your temper is very much to my liking. It's a pity that we are on different sides, doomed never to be friends in this lifetime! Well, now I'll see you off. I'll make your death as swift as possible!" The burly man finally brought out his weapon, a whip about ten feet long, pitch-black, exuding a fierce aura, its refining materials unidentifiable.

"Snap!"

The burly man flicked his whip, producing a crisp sound.

"We should have done this already!" the bandit leader shouted. "Attack quickly, kill Miao Kuangfeng!"

"Snap!"

The burly man brandished the whip and charged forward. In his hands, the whip seemed to come alive, flipping and flying with exceptional agility, exerting tremendous pressure on Miao Kuangfeng.

"Swoosh!"

In an unguarded moment, a piece of Miao Kuangfeng's sleeve was whipped away, revealing half an arm.

"Again!"

As the burly man fought with increasing valor, he wielded the whip single-handedly, lashing wildly at Miao Kuangfeng in what seemed a chaotic manner, but in fact, each strike followed a trajectory, each infused with terrifying energy.

This whip was an Exotic Treasure, refined from dozens of precious materials. Not only was it flexible, but it was also very sturdy. Most importantly, the whip was smeared with a violent poison; once it struck the body, the poison would quickly penetrate, rendering the victim incapable of action.

Miao Kuangfeng's mood grew heavier and heavier. He could only defend himself now and had already lost the ability to counterattack. If things continued this way... he would surely be defeated. He was not afraid to die, truly not afraid, but what he feared the most for the tens of thousands of soldiers. Once he died, no one would be able to restrain the bandit leader and the burly man.

By then, the tens of thousands of soldiers would only have their fate sealed.

No!

He had to find a way to turn the situation around!

Miao Kuangfeng shouted in his heart!

...

The ground was littered with bodies, the flowers and grass stained with fresh blood.

Pitiful!

It was a sight too gruesome to bear!

This time, the bandits had mobilized more than eighty thousand men, each ferociously fearless of death, charging and attacking desperately, creating immense pressure on the soldiers.

Gao Fei was not spared either. He led a group of soldiers to fight the bandits to the death. Chen San and Liu Qing followed closely behind to protect Gao Fei's safety. In just half an hour, hundreds of bandits had died at Gao Fei's hands.

"Damn it all! There are too many bandits; we can't kill them all!" Gao Fei cursed.

"Sir, the situation doesn't look good." Chen San uttered breathlessly. "The sudden appearance of the bandits must have been premeditated... Perhaps there are still hidden bandits around... waiting to deliver us a fatal blow..."

"Still hidden bandits?" Gao Fei was startled in his heart. "It can't be..."

"Better safe than sorry." Chen San sighed. "I've got a very bad feeling right now, utterly terrible. I feel... I might die today..."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Gao Fei glared at Chen San. "You're not going to die! None of us are going to die!"

"Sir..." Chen San tried to speak but was cut off by Gao Fei.

"Enough, quit the nonsense and concentrate on killing the enemy. Everyone, stay close to me; don't get separated," Gao Fei ordered while fighting.

Despite Gao Fei's smaller numbers, he fought valiantly. Hundreds of men formed a cone-shaped formation, charging back and forth across the battlefield, proving to be invincible.
