However, they didn’t think that they wouldn’t die on the battlefield to protect their country but would die because of the conspiracy within the government they swore to protect. Of course, they were unwilling to die just like that. But they could only pray to reincarnate as their general’s subordinates in their next lives.
Guo Bing and Little Six were kneeling on the ground with their hands on the hilts of their swords. Blood was flowing out of the corners of their mouths. There were wounds on their chests and backs. They no longer had the strength to resist.
But it was not ideal to die in such a desolate mountain forest. After they died, they would become food for the wild animals in the deep mountains. If they died like this, their general would never be avenged, and no one would know the truth. Their killers would live to enjoy the peace and wealth brought by their general. They felt indignant, but what could they do? They were about to die.
Jiang Zhennan looked at the tragic appearance of his four subordinates, and his sharp eyes instantly burst with a sense of hatred.
He suddenly grabbed the hilt of the knife and raised it. The sharp blade glowed with a cold light. Even under the high temperature of the hot sun, the people around could feel the bone-chilling cold.
The sharp blade seemed to sense its owner’s intense hatred. The blade buzzed with the call for blood.
When the men in black saw this, their pupils under the black masks contracted violently. They had no idea that Jiang Zhennan would still be able to lift his 108-catties broadsword and fight them. Did he not get poisoned?
The leader of the men quickly shouted, “Brothers, don’t worry. Jiang Zhennan is of no threat to us. We just need to take his head. When we return to the capital, we will be able to obtain ten thousand taels of gold!”
With that, more than a dozen men in black immediately stepped forward with their knives, eager to be the first to take Jiang Zhennan’s head.
Guo Bing and the other three had tears in their eyes as they looked at their boss, who was using the last of his life force to fight for them to escape.
Jiang Zhennan raised his knife and slashed at the men in black. The heart-eating poison sealed up his internal Qi. Jiang Zhennan had to rely on brute force. However, the poison had also invaded his internal organs and limbs. At this moment, his vision was blurred, and all he could hear was a deafening roar. His hands were already numb, and his legs were like heavy lead.
However, he charged on pure instinct. There was no sense or reason. He just needed to kill.
For a moment, the men in black were held back. They couldn’t get close to him, much less take his head.
Jiang Zhennan suddenly shouted at Guo Bing and the others, “Hurry up and leave!”
With red eyes and tears, Guo Bing and the other three struggled to get up and fight again. They couldn’t just leave the general alone, even if it meant disobeying their general!
They were brothers who had gone through life and death together on the battlefield. They couldn’t be like cowards and abandon their general. They needed to be alive to avenge their general, but when they thought about how they’d only live with their general sacrificing his life, they couldn’t bring themselves to escape. Therefore, even if they were to die, they would die with their general.
They believed that the truth would be revealed one day, and someone would avenge the general.
A new round of killing was carried out on this quiet battlefield.
It was an intense, bloody, and painful battle with a great disparity in strength!
The men in black didn’t expect such a hard resistance from the five dying men. The five appeared to suddenly burst with power. This shocked them deeply.
