In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 372 Killed in 1 shot

The situation was similar to what Chen Dao had predicted. The Wang family's strength was greatly reduced after a sneak attack that killed a large number of their martial artists. Although they had more martial artists than their own side, they could not create an overwhelming situation.

Furthermore, their own people were all wearing armor, which, while reducing their agility, also provided them with stronger protection. In a fight between martial artists of the same level, their own people often had the advantage over the Wang family.

Of course, if this situation continues, it's impossible for our side to win, because...

Besides warriors, the Wang family also has a large number of retainers. At this moment, the retainers must be on their way. If we wait until all the retainers arrive, our side will surely be defeated!

Zheng Qing knew this, so he didn't dare to hesitate at all. When he saw the two sides fighting, Zheng Qing gripped his spear and charged straight at Wang Wenshu in front of him.

"Humph!"

Wang Wenshu snorted coldly, seemingly not taking Zheng Qing seriously at all.

At the same time, a middle-aged man next to Wang Wenshu made a move!

With a single step, the man reached Wang Wenshu's side and delivered an elbow strike to Zheng Qing's abdomen.

"Wang Zhi?"

Zheng Qing's expression changed slightly. He hurriedly withdrew his spear and, at the same time, spread his five fingers with his left hand to strike the elbow that the middle-aged man was attacking. He used Wang Zhi's strength to retreat to the side.

Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi was relentless. He seemed to have extensive combat experience and knew the principle that an inch longer is an inch stronger. He did not give Zheng Qing, who was holding a long spear, a chance to create distance. Instead, he stayed close to Zheng Qing, forcing Zheng Qing to engage in close-quarters combat with him.

Left with no other choice, Zheng Qing had to temporarily abandon his spear and fight Wang Zhi with his fists and feet.

Fortunately, Zheng Qing practiced the Cloud Shadow Palm, a palm technique that was in no way inferior to his own spear technique, and even surpassed it. Therefore, even in close combat, Wang Zhi could not gain the slightest advantage.

They even had a slight advantage because of the armor protecting them!

however……

Zheng Qing has to face more than just Wang Zhi.

Just as Zheng Qing and Wang Zhi were evenly matched, Wang Wenshu made his move.

Despite his seemingly pampered lifestyle, he possessed a speed completely contrary to his appearance. In one step, he was already behind Zheng Qing, and he slashed out with his sword!

"呲呲呲!"

The blade rubbed against the armor plates, making a teeth-grinding sound. Although the strike failed to injure Zheng Qing, the impact from the blade still caused Zheng Qing to hesitate for a moment.

"Damn it!"

Caught between two attacks, Zheng Qing couldn't help but secretly lament his predicament. Although he was wearing armor and his defense was far superior to Wang Wenshu and Wang Zhi, both of them were at the peak of the sixth rank, the same level as him. Under their combined attack, he could only passively defend and was unable to retaliate!

Young friend Chen, we can only rely on you!

Zheng Qing struggled to fend off the attacks of Wang Wenshu and Wang Zhi, while Chen Dao also made his move on the other side.

Chen Dao took a step forward and struck a Wang family martial artist who was fighting Han Qi with a palm. The palm landed lightly, seemingly without causing any damage, but the internal energy attached to the palm silently entered the martial artist's body.

The next moment, the martial artist froze, his body stiffened, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.

The internal energy that had penetrated his body had already destroyed his internal organs and instantly taken away his life force.

"Thank you for your help, Brother Chen!"

Han Qi clasped his hands in thanks and then quickly rushed to another battlefield to help his teammates.

Chen Dao roamed the battlefield, avoiding direct confrontation with the Wang family warriors. He would occasionally appear behind a Wang family warrior and deliver a sinister palm strike, much like a cunning old fox.

"What a treacherous beast!"

While attacking Zheng Qing, Wang Wenshu, who was also observing the battlefield, had a dark expression. The other Wang family warriors who were engaged in fierce fighting might not have noticed Chen Dao's actions, but he, who had been paying close attention to the battlefield, saw it all clearly.

In just a few breaths, this person killed two seventh-rank martial artists from the Wang family through a sneak attack, which was truly insidious!

"We must deal with Zheng Qing as soon as possible!"

A sense of anxiety arose in Wang Wenshu's heart. If this person continued, the Wang family's martial artists would probably collapse soon. The only way now was to get rid of Zheng Qing as soon as possible, and then deal with this person!

Thinking of this, Wang Wenshu hurriedly intensified his attack, joining forces with Wang Zhi to suppress Zheng Qing so much that he could hardly breathe.

However, Zheng Qing, who knew what was going on, was not in a hurry at all. Relying on the defensive power of his armor, he did his best to deal with Wang Wenshu and the other two.

"boom!"

While Zheng Qing was defending against Wang Wenshu's attack, Wang Zhi punched Zheng Qing in the abdomen. Because of the protection of the armor, his internal force was not able to harm Wang Wenshu, but the huge impact of the punch still made Zheng Qing groan, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth inside the helmet.

However, a smile suddenly appeared on Zheng Qing's lips despite his injury, because he had already seen the fleeting black shadow behind Wang Zhi!

"call out!"

The slight whooshing sound exploded in his ears like a thunderclap. Wang Zhi, who had just been overjoyed at injuring Zheng Qing, was startled. His attention was completely focused on Zheng Qing, and he had no time to react.

The next moment, a dark shadow flashed past his eyes.

"Pfft!"

The sharp claws tore through flesh, and a hideous wound instantly appeared on Wang Zhi's neck.

"Uh……"

Wang Zhi instinctively reached out and covered his neck, trying to stop the blood loss, but it was completely pointless.

He lowered his head, trying to see what his wound looked like, but how could the human body's eyes look directly at one's own neck?

"Wang Zhi!"

Wang Wenshu's expression changed drastically. By the dim moonlight, he could see the blood gushing from the wound on Wang Zhi's neck, which made his eyes widen in horror!

Wang Zhi was one of the strongest martial artists in the Wang family. How could he be so easily ambushed and killed in one blow?

Wang Wenshu suddenly turned his head, trying to catch a glimpse of the figure that had ambushed Wang Zhi, but Xiao Yuan had already hidden herself back in the darkness with her extremely fast speed. Even with his peak sixth-grade eyesight, he could not catch Xiao Yuan's figure.

"Pfft."

Wang Zhi stopped breathing and collapsed to the ground.

This made Wang Wenshu even more terrified. Wang Zhi, who was also at the peak of the sixth rank, was killed instantly. If that figure had ambushed him just now, wouldn't he have died as well?

Thinking of this, Wang Wenshu quickly withdrew, fearing that Xiao Yuan would attack him.

But Zheng Qing was not about to give him a chance to escape easily.

Seeing Wang Zhi die, Zheng Qing quickly realized that his chance to fight back had come. He bent down, picked up the spear that had been thrown on the ground, and thrust it straight into Wang Wenshu's chest!

"Damn it!"

While keeping a close watch on the strange black shadow's attacks, Wang Wenshu also dodged Zheng Qing's attacks. Even his hair ribbon was knocked off by Zheng Qing, leaving him disheveled and extremely embarrassed.
