Twilight Boundary-Chapter 824 - 807: The World Duel

There was also a reason, the reputation of the food-protection general in Mingzhou was just too good.

The countryside folks believed in him, and so did the families of the people under his command. In this turmoil, not even daring to claim to punish the food-protection general, they merely cited reasons like lack of food or a grievance to create some chaos, simply to cause turmoil in front of the city.

"Listen to his nonsense!"

Seeing things were not going well, someone immediately shouted, "This scoundrel sits on mountains of gold and silver yet won't let us get rich..."

"Let's take the opportunity to finish him, and we'll become the food-protection general ourselves..."

"..."

Someone didn't want the fear instilled by Yang Gong to ferment, so they immediately shouted loudly, leading people to rush forward.

But as he charged, only a few close associates followed him, and the army behind remained unmoved, still looking around in the chaos.

Moreover, some leaders, seeing the situation, already drew their swords, focusing on the neck of the rebellion leader.

This leader clearly was not truly rebelling but mixed among the rebels to act as the situation called for, acting as an inside agent for Yang Gong.

Hu Ma could immediately tell since that guy was Zhao Zhu.

Seeing the rebellion to be so easily suppressed, the leaders of the rebellion panicked, but just then, someone in the army suddenly shouted, "The food-protection general commits many injustices, today we come to rid the people of Mingzhou of harm!"

The crowd was caught off guard when suddenly a group of black-clad troops rushed out from the army, previously hidden inconspicuously among the chaotic army.

But now as they all charged forth at the same time, it seemed extremely strange. While others were still caught in panic and chaos, they had already reached Yang Gong, still on horseback, and they simultaneously removed the robes they were wearing.

Underneath, they were all wearing red pockets covered with strange talismans.

With a shout, everyone picked up a claw-like weapon from their horses and encircled Yang Gong.

...

...

"Red Pocket Army?"

On the city wall, Xu Wensheng, the Grand Steward, was startled, "They're with the Huzhou Three-headed Jiao Demon King!"

"I knew someone was instigating this chaos from behind!"

"..."

"Brothers, kill these demon people!"

At this time on the ground below the city, Yang Gong was full of valor, and upon seeing these people appear, it confirmed his suspicions. As the food-protection general, not only did he not flee, but instead he galloped forward.

And further back, within the rebel army, someone was also shouting loudly, "There are demon people here deceiving us, quick, advance and protect the Great General!"

With a shout, several troops rushed out; it was Zhao Zhu, Bald Zhang, and several new faces.

They had already sensed the change earlier and pretended to be dissatisfied with Yang Gong, following the rebels, waiting for the right moment to act. Now they shouted, persuading many, and they charged to the back of those with the red pockets, weapons and arrows at the ready.

Unexpectedly, those people, despite being tall and strong and wearing red pockets, were full of demonic aura individually.

The weapons struck them with a metallic clang, arrows hit their backs and bounced off.

Each one invincible, their eyes red, faces full of demonic aura, they closed in on Yang Gong, intending to bind him along with his horse, destination unknown.

In this crisis, all those on the city wall stood up in panic. Although they had anticipated the revolt, Yang Gong's actions were too dangerous, putting him in peril.

"To use evil skill within the army, there's an expert backing these people in red pockets..."

Hu Ma, seated on the city wall, slightly frowned, muttering to himself, "I was expecting this duel, but they are more impatient than me, making a move now!"

Finding it somewhat amusing, he exhaled slowly.

With the power of Ten Incense Sticks of cultivation, though only slightly stirred, it was enough to see the entire sky change colors abruptly, horse manes turning scorched and curling, like a massive furnace descending upon the battlefield.

True Yang Arrow!
