Chapter 221 Cleverly Breaking Through Black Wind Stronghold
Everyone who heard this thought it was a feasible idea.
So they began to prepare in earnest.
Xia Li and Li Haifei were tasked with finding a suitable opportunity to approach the wealthy merchants who were colluding with the bandits and extract details of the rendezvous from them.
Zhao Jihua, relying on her intelligence, formulated a detailed action plan;
Tao Yao then used her skill in disguise to dress everyone up.
Three days later, the day of the transaction arrived.
Xia Li and Li Haifei disguised themselves as the henchmen of a wealthy merchant and followed them to Black Wind Village.
Wang Mazi was already waiting at the village gate. When he saw them arrive, he quickly went to greet them.
"Boss Zhang, you've finally arrived! I couldn't wait any longer," Wang Mazi said with a beaming smile.
"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, where's the goods?" The wealthy merchant feigned impatience.
“He’s inside, please follow me.” Wang Mazi led them into the mountain village.
Xia Li and Li Haifei looked around warily, silently memorizing the route.
Upon entering the village, they saw a group of women and children who were tied up and looking at them in terror.
Xia Li felt a sharp pain in her heart, and she wished she could rush up and save them immediately, but thinking of the plan, she could only endure it.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jihua and Tao Yao also secretly sneaked into the mountain stronghold with the cargo convoy.
Upon entering the mountain village,
Taking advantage of the guards' inattention, Zhao Jihua sneaked into the mountain stronghold's warehouse and planted explosives inside.
Tao Yao, using her disguise skills, blended in among the henchmen to deliver messages for them.
She made a gesture in the crowd:
everything's ready!
Xia Li and Li Haifei exchanged a glance.
Suddenly drawing a dagger, he looked at Wang Mazi with undisguised disgust: "We are the Four Heroes of the Bandit Exterminator, renowned in the martial world recently. Why don't you bandits surrender at once?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mazi's face first showed a look of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe that someone would dare to speak to him like that.
But soon, this surprise was replaced by a contemptuous smile. He burst into unrestrained laughter, which echoed in the air, full of mockery.
"Hahahaha! You two ignorant fools, how dare you spout such nonsense! You're really overestimating yourselves!"
Wang Mazi laughed as he pointed at the two men in front of him, his eyes full of disdain and contempt. "The two of you? You dare to impersonate the Four Heroes of Bandit Slaying?"
Then, he continued smugly, "I have several big businessmen backing me up. Dealing with you two brats who look like you haven't even grown your hair yet is a piece of cake!"
However, faced with Wang Mazi's arrogant attitude, Xia Li simply smiled and replied softly, "Oh? Is that so?"
With a gentle wave of her hand, several wealthy businessmen who had been standing not far away suddenly pounced on Wang Mazi like tigers descending a mountain.
These wealthy businessmen moved with incredible speed, instantly subduing the unsuspecting Wang Mazi.
"You? You've rebelled!"
Wang Mazi was furious. "You don't want your goods anymore? How dare you side with them?"
Unexpectedly, several "wealthy businessmen" ripped off their masks.
When everyone saw the faces of these wealthy businessmen clearly, they were surprised to discover that they were not actually wealthy businessmen.
Instead, it was a skilled underling of Zhao Jihua who had carefully disguised himself!
Wang Mazi: !!
He suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's why you two young punks dared to come here! You thought they'd back you up, huh? But..."
Wang Mazi changed the subject: "Are you sure you can take over this place like this?"
Xia Li was startled upon hearing this.
It happened in the blink of an eye!
Suddenly, a mechanism appeared beneath the makeshift lighting platform (similar to a modern street lamp), from which dozens of sword feathers shot out!
A rain of swords swept over Xia Li!
The disguised guards disregarded everything else and immediately flew over to protect Xia Li and the others!
But this also gave Wang Mazi the opportunity to escape control.
In the instant he lost control,
A large number of bandits emerged from all sides and surrounded them.
It turned out that Wang Mazi had taken precautions all along; there were traps he had set up everywhere.
Xia Li and the others stood back to back, gripping their weapons tightly.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by, and Tao Yao appeared, holding two swords and standing in front of everyone.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you." Tao Yao's gaze was firm.
But she couldn't change anything; the situation reversed instantly.
Wang Mazi laughed heartily as he looked at Xia Li and the others who were surrounded.
His eyes gleamed with undisguised smugness: "I told you, you? Don't you even know how many years and generations our Black Wind Stronghold has endured? How could it be so easily breached like other strongholds?"
Xia Li simply smiled and replied, "That's right! Just look at us."
A bad feeling welled up in Wang Mazi's heart.
How can these people still be laughing at a time like this?
Could it be... a trap?
At the same time, Zhao Jihua lit the explosives, and with a loud "boom," the warehouse was blown into the air.
"W-What happened?"
One of the underlings replied, "The boss... the boss seems to be the place where the granary is located..."
Wang Mazi was furious: "What! Brothers, come with me immediately to the granary to check!"
The bandit leader immediately led most of his men to check the situation.
The mountain stronghold was thrown into chaos.
The elite troops lying in ambush outside the mountain stronghold immediately rushed in.
Xia Li and his group took the opportunity to rescue the trafficked women and children, and then engaged in a fierce battle with the remaining henchmen.
They were highly skilled in martial arts and worked together seamlessly, quickly routing the henchmen.
Meanwhile, when Wang Mazi led his men to the granary, they found the gate tightly shut.
They thought a thief was hiding inside, and everyone immediately rushed in angrily, wanting to tear the person to pieces.
Who knew there was a bomb inside!
"Oh!"
With a thunderous roar, most of them went to see the gods and Buddhas of the Western Paradise.
The few survivors hurriedly retreated, only to be hit by machine gun bullets that Zhao Jihua had laid in advance.
Another large portion of them caught up with the main group ahead.
Seeing that things were not going well, Wang Mazi tried to escape, but was stopped by Zhao Jihua with a sword.
"Wang Mazi, your end has come! Today is your death day!" Zhao Jihua glared angrily.
Wang Mazi looked at Zhao Jihua in terror, attempting a desperate last stand.
He brandished his broadsword and slashed at his opponent.
Zhao Jihua dodged easily with a swift movement, then swung his sword backhand and stabbed Wang Mazi in the chest.
Wang Mazi screamed and collapsed to the ground, dying instantly.
Zhao Jihua sneered and strode away.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Mazi sat up on the ground.
He secretly rejoiced, "Thank goodness, her knife missed by an inch, otherwise I would be dead... No, I have to think of something right now. I must avenge this!"
He stared in the direction Zhao Jihua had left, his eyes filled with venom.
……
Xia Li, however, encountered trouble!
