Chapter 264: Chapter 264: Laozi Will Burn You Alive!

At that moment, under Xiao Zheng’s orders, everyone began using the trees and bark within the small valley to make bows and arrows.

People like Ten Killings were extremely adept at wilderness survival, not only with great strength but also skilled at crafting various hidden weapons and traps.

In no time, the group had already fashioned dozens of longbows, as well as a number of wooden arrows sharpened from sticks.

However, even though they followed Xiao Zheng’s orders, they were very puzzled in their hearts. What exactly did Xiao Zheng want these things for?

The Vine Armor was much harder than ordinary steel armor; even with these bows and arrows, they couldn’t pierce it!

They were all somewhat worried.

But seeing Xiao Zheng’s indifferent expression and his confidence, their worries were slightly alleviated.

"Now, wrap the arrowheads with various dry grass, deadwood, and other easily flammable materials," Xiao Zheng instructed immediately after he saw that the making of the bows and arrows was successful.

"Wrap them with dry grass?"

Everyone was stunned.

What was the point of doing that?

After thinking it over and still not understanding, they could only follow Xiao Zheng’s instructions.

When most of the preparations were done, suddenly, from outside the small valley, there came thunderous shouting and killing noises that shook the heavens and the earth, resonating across thousands of mountains.

The Vine Armor Army had arrived!

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly.

Indeed, in just a moment, the ground of the valley thundered with noise, followed by soldiers clad in brown vine armor, surging into the valley from outside like a tide.

The total number was at least two to three hundred!

The leader was no longer the Vine Armor Army Leader, but Hozon. Upon seeing him, everyone ground their teeth with hatred, yet they felt helpless.

"Hahaha, Hozon, long time no see," Xiao Zheng said with a long laugh upon seeing Hozon.

But within that smile, there was a chilling edge.

Hozon, surrounded by layers of the Vine Armor Soldiers, gave Xiao Zheng a cold look and said, "I didn’t expect you to be so foolish."

Xiao Zheng chuckled and replied, "How am I foolish?"

Hozon sneered mockingly, "You could have retreated, but you stayed because of these subordinates behind you. Isn’t that foolish compassion?"

Then, shaking his head with a sigh, Hozon added, "I thought you would make a good opponent, but it turns out you’re all bark and no bite, just a pretty face with a lead soldier’s heart."

"Do you think everyone is like you, so cold-blooded and ruthless?"

Long Qie sneered.

Hozon was indeed formidable and considered a hero, but Long Qie had no respect for him because of how cruel Hozon was to his own brothers.

"Hehe."

Hozon laughed coldly and said, "It’s just a shame that the one who lives is cold-blooded and ruthless like me, while those who die are you, preaching brotherhood and loyalty!"

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and said, "Is that so?"

Seeing Xiao Zheng’s confident demeanor, Hozon’s eyes twitched. Being a very cautious person, he couldn’t help but think, "Could he still have some ace up his sleeve?"

Hozon glanced over the valley and, seeing nothing but Xiao Zheng and a few others, felt slightly relieved.

"It must be my overthinking."

Hozon thought to himself.

With this in mind, Hozon then sneered, "Or isn’t it so? But enough of this nonsense. Vine Armor Army, heed my command, capture them all for me!"

By the end of his sentence, Hozon let out a cold order.

"Kill!"

Upon Hozon’s command, the few hundred Vine Armor Soldiers let out a earth-shattering howl that vibrated the wilderness. They had all seen blood, and at this moment, an intense killing aura gathered, seemingly ready to pierce the clouds!

The killing aura was an intangible force, invisible, but palpable. In ancient times, those great generals who could shout and literally scare people to death, did so through the power of this killing aura.

Long Qie and the others were all suddenly pale with fright.

Boom boom boom...

At this time, having defeated the Vine Armor Army, were now charging towards Long Qie and his comrades. The ground trembled, and the edges of blades gleamed with a silver cold light,

Although their armor was made of vine wood, it shone with a bright luster, overwhelmingly terrifying. Each one of them was an elite warrior, vigorous as dragons and fierce as tigers, not to be underestimated.

"Heh, they are just a rabble."

Facing this terrifying army, Xiao Zheng’s mouth curled into an icy cold smile sharp as a blade’s edge, "A snap of the fingers, and they’re gone!"

Hozon sneered, "Facing death, and you’re still talking big."

"Do you think the Evil God would talk big?" Xiao Zheng’s expression turned icy cold.

Then, Xiao Zheng shouted coldly:

"Light the fire, release the arrows!"

Upon hearing this, Long Qie and the others were all invigorated. They felt terror in their hearts, but with Xiao Zheng there, as if they had found their backbone, fear dissipated.

Shortly after, dozens of people, following Xiao Zheng’s orders, took their longbows from their backs, and wrapped their arrows’ tips with flammable material, aiming at the Vine Armor Army.

Then they lit the fire.

Boom!

In an instant, within this valley, suddenly dozens of blazing fires lit up.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, Hozon seemed to think of something, and cried out in horror.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Immediately, Hozon seemed to go mad, urgently yelling to the charging Vine Armor Soldiers.

"It’s too late."

Xiao Zheng sneered.

Crack!

Accompanied by several thunderous sounds of bowstrings snapping, these dozens of flaming arrows shot out fiercely. Tearing through the air like angry fire dragons, they struck the Vine Armor Soldiers.

Then, under the astonished gazes of Long Qie and his companions, with a boom, the flaming arrows struck the vine armors and instantly set them ablaze!

The speed of the burning was alarming.

It was as if a spark had been thrown into a pool of fuel, and everything exploded!

"Ahh!"

A Vine Armor Soldier let out a miserable shriek. His vine armor had already caught alight completely, turning him into a human torch.

In his eyes, there was an utmost horror, an incredible shock; he struggled frantically to take off the burning vine armor, but it was no use.

The vine armor was too tightly fitted; there was absolutely no way to get it off.

The fear of death, enough to drive a person mad, coupled with unbearable pain. The Vine Armor Soldier went berserk, running and thrashing around.

With that, the Vine Armor Soldiers around him were also set on fire!

The vine armor caught fire too quickly, leaving no time to react!

This scene spread wildly throughout the Vine Armor Army, and in almost an instant, the whole valley was alight with flames, turning half the sky red.

The piercing screams seemed to tear through the clouds, shaking the trees in the valley, as if Hell itself had descended upon the earth.

"Hiss..."

Long Qie and the others all gasped for air.

Xiao Zheng remained calm, saying, "Continue shooting arrows!"

"Yes."

The few of them recovered, their mouths curling into excited smiles. They bent their bows once more, shooting arrows towards the Vine Armor Soldiers!
