Astral Apostle - Chapter 548: Killing Two Birds With One Stone (1)

548 Killing Two Birds With One Stone (1)

The wind swept back, and waves soared into the sky.

The wind condensed into a corporeal form. Under his control, it blocked and sorted out the flood area. Although it could not stop the flood, it served as a clear deterrent.

Because Bill could mobilize the power of heaven and earth, he had more room to unleash in such a big scene. Unfortunately, he was a wind sorcerer and not a professional at playing with water. If he was a water sorcerer, it would be even easier to deal with the water problem. He could stop and manipulate the water as he pleased.

Realizing that the water had slowed down, everyone immediately perked up and took the opportunity to fill the dike.

From time to time, Ling Fengzi would aid them as well. He would use the wind to sweep up the trees and boulders and throw them into the dike. Zhou Jing would dive underwater and use his strength to stabilize the material and block the opening.

Under everyone’s combined efforts, the repair of the dike finally advanced greatly.

As the stone blocks blocked the incision, the water gradually slowed down.

The group worked hard. After a long time, they finally sealed the dike that had been dug up by the soldiers and strengthened it.

At this moment, the Sha River was finally back on the right track. Only then did was the flood be temporarily controlled. At least, it did not continue to worsen.

“It’s finally blocked!”

“Aiya, d*mn, I’m so tired…”

Many of the stronghold soldiers and local soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. Their faces were filled with joy, but they were exhausted and almost collapsed in the mud, panting non-stop.

Not far away, Zhou Jing stuck his head out of the water and spat out a mouth of muddy water. He supported himself on the shore and jumped up, shaking his head to dry his hair.

“It’s finally done. This is even harder than fighting.”

Zhou Jing wiped his face and looked at the repaired dike, feeling relieved.

Although the disaster in Huyang had already become a fact, it was still acceptable that the disaster did not worsen in time.

He turned to the locals and nodded,

“Thank you for your help, fellow villagers. Now that the flood has subsided, spread the news when you go back and let the villagers everywhere spontaneously deal with the flood areas and try their best to save some crops. My Dragon King Stronghold will also send people to help.”

The group of villagers hurriedly got up and agreed.

Then, everyone could not help but look at him gratefully.

“Fortunately, Chief Chen rushed over to help. Otherwise, our Huyang would not have been able to survive.”

“What are you talking about? How can an official army that adopts such a vicious plan be compared to my Chief?”

Although in the publicity of the Imperial Court, Chen Feng had almost become an ogre head who killed indiscriminately, the villagers present were not afraid at all. Their attitudes were very amiable.

Their actions proved their stand. Compared to the Imperial Court, the Dragon King Stronghold undoubtedly treated them better. This chapter’s initial release occurred on the N0v3l-B1n site.

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry, the officers will naturally pay the price. I won’t let them slip away in vain.”

Just as he was conversing with the local soldiers, Ling Fengzi slowly landed.

Seeing this, everyone’s conversation could not help but become softer. It was unknown what attitude they used to face this dog of the Imperial Court.

Ling Fengzi looked straight ahead and said without changing his expression, “The flood has stopped. I’ll leave now.”

Zhou Jing glanced at him, thought for a moment, and deliberately said, “Although you and I are enemies, I owe you a favor today. If that dog emperor can’t tolerate you because of this, you can come to my Dragon King Stronghold.”

“There’s no need to worry, Chief Chen. Although the commander-in-chief of the three armies is quite dissatisfied with my actions, I’m only here to help with the disaster. I can’t see the common people suffer. We’re really not on the same side.”

“Enemy attack, enemy attack!”

Miserable shouts spread to the front troops one after another.

Ma Zhen was shocked and hurriedly ordered the troops to regroup and turn around to face the enemy. He was surprised that the enemy had arrived so suddenly and that all the scouts did not react at all.

Before the army could adjust their formation, a burly figure with clear characteristics appeared in Ma Zhen’s vision, passing through the army like a hot knife through butter.

“Villain Chen?!”

Ma Zhen’s expression changed drastically.

Zhou Jing was the only one who attacked the army. There were no other troops with him.

Halfway through their journey, he found out that the imperial soldiers had already retreated far away. He simply abandoned the slow-moving troops and ran for a few days before catching up to the army alone.

Although he was alone, Zhou Jing did not panic at all… This was because Ling Fengzi had “coincidentally” not returned. It was the best opportunity for him to activate his beheading strategy.

He had not done this previously because Ling Fengzi was protecting the camp. This time, he had summoned Ling Fengzi to provide disaster relief and also removed the protection around Ma Zhen. He had killed two birds with one stone!

“This surnamed Ma, you want to escape after using a vicious plan? How can it be so easy? Even if you run to the horizon, Grandpa will still catch up!”

Zhou Jing laughed out loud, his voice shaking the three armies.

He ran alone in the midst of the ten thousand troops. He did not fight with the soldiers and headed straight for the commander like a bolt of lightning.

The tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him scattered, they were almost like decorations in front of him. They could not obstruct him at all.

“Stop him!”

Seeing Chen Feng ignore the ten thousand troops and quickly approach, Ma Zhen immediately panicked.

The dignified Imperial Court army was actually forced into a panic by a single person?!

At this moment, Ma Zhen suddenly felt a wave of regret.

If Ling Fengzi was here, how could he allow Chen Feng to be so arrogant?!

However, it was already too late to say this. Now, it was unknown where Ling Fengzi had run off to. There was no super combat strength in the army to restrain Chen Feng at all.

Zhou Jing was as fast as lightning as he easily passed through the formation, sending the guards blocking his way flying. He directly reached out to grab Ma Zhen.

Ma Zhen gritted his teeth, unwilling to wait for death. He raised his spear and stabbed forward with great force, showing his familiarity with martial arts.

“Insignificant tricks. How dare you show off in front of an expert?”

Zhou Jing chuckled. He grabbed the spear shaft before pulling Ma Zhen off the horse. Then, he carried him on his shoulder and ran away, as if he was snatching a bride.

He attacked the weak point of the flank formation from the inside out, knocking aside the intercepting soldiers and rushing into the wilderness by the road, dragging out a trail of dust as he ran away.

There were still a few tens of thousands of soldiers. Zhou Jing did not intend to fight alone. From the beginning, he was here to kidnap the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

With this one hit, he immediately slipped away.

“Marshal!”

Yuwen Yan and the other soldiers were left standing there like fools.

Were these tens of thousands of troops useless in front of this person?!

Chen Feng had attacked alone and crossed the ten thousand troops. He had captured the commander-in-chief of the three armies just like that?!

How… how were they going to explain themselves when they returned?!
