Chapter 33 The Flame is About to Ignite, the Ghostly Shadow Returns
Deep within the camp.
The smell of gunpowder was mixed with the smell of burning.
It choked people so much that they coughed repeatedly.
The mastermind behind the operation held a brightly lit tinderbox.
The fingertips turned white from the force applied.
The firelight illuminated his sinister face.
His eyes were filled with a crazy sense of triumph.
[The mastermind behind the scenes sneered inwardly]: This was entrusted to me by Lord Sima Yi.
Today, we will annihilate the Shu army.
The southern regions were returned to Wei.
It's just around the corner!
He slowly bent down.
The tinderbox is separated from the gunpowder fuse.
Only half an inch left.
"Stop, you scoundrel!"
A furious shout pierced the air.
Ma Zhong charged forward with his gun.
The spear tip pierced straight into the back of the mastermind behind the conspiracy.
The mastermind behind the operation reacted extremely quickly.
Step aside to avoid it.
He parried with his sword using a backhand.
A crisp "clang".
Sparks landed near the gunpowder pile.
His heart skipped a beat.
[Ma Zhong was resolute]: He absolutely could not allow him to ignite the gunpowder.
Otherwise, everyone will be buried with them.
We'll stop them no matter what!
The spear swept across.
Unstoppable momentum.
Ma Zhong's moves were all deadly.
Completely disregarding the fresh wounds on his armor.
The mastermind behind the operation was entangled and unable to extricate himself.
Impatience and apprehension flashed in his eyes.
"You ignorant fool, how dare you stop me?"
He thrust his sword swiftly.
It was aimed directly at Ma Zhongxin's heart.
They wanted a quick victory.
Ma Zhong turned and spun around.
The gun barrel slammed heavily into the arm of the mastermind behind the operation, and blood instantly seeped through the fabric.
The fire folding tool slipped from his hand.
fall to the ground.
It rolled into the weeds on the side.
[The mastermind behind the scenes is furious]: Damn it!
If it causes a major blunder.
Lord Sima Yi will surely not forgive me!
The fierce fighting deep within the camp was in full swing, while the battle at the city gate was nearing its end.
The shouts of battle were deafening.
Blood soaked through the city bricks.
The shouts of battle were deafening.
Blood soaked through the city bricks.
Dong Jue was surrounded by unidentified cavalry in the center.
He brandished his long sword.
He was covered in blood from the killing.
The cavalry's moves were ruthless.
Every move is deadly.
They were clearly well-trained assassins.
[Dong Jue was filled with suspicion]: These people were definitely not ordinary undercover agents.
The moves bear the mark of Cao Wei's elite troops.
Could they be Sima Yi's assassins?
A cavalryman swung his longsword.
Dong Jue parried with his sword.
My arm went numb from the shock.
"Who exactly are you? Who is directing you?"
The cavalry leader sneered.
He did not utter a word.
The long sword slashed out again.
Go straight for his neck.
The Shu army reinforcements were scattered and defeated.
It is difficult to form combat capability.
They can only fight their own battles.
[Dong Jue was anxious]: If this continues...
The reinforcements will surely be defeated.
The city gates will surely be breached.
General Li and his men are in grave danger!
He gritted his teeth.
He swung his sword with all his might.
Slay a cavalryman.
However, he was slashed on the shoulder by another cavalryman.
A corner of the camp.
Li Hui was supported by his personal guards.
The wound on his chest was still bleeding.
His face was deathly pale.
But he gripped the short blade tightly.
His gaze remained resolute.
[Li Hui thought silently in his heart]: Your Majesty has entrusted you, and the Prime Minister has high hopes.
I must not fall!
The Prime Minister has high hopes for him.
Help me up.
"I'm going to support General Ma!"
Li Hui's voice was weak.
Yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.
The guards quickly tried to dissuade him: "General."
"Your injuries are too severe."
"Absolutely not!"
Li Hui forcefully pushed away his personal guards.
He staggered and took a step forward.
Every step taken.
They all involve the wound.
I was in so much pain that my whole body was shaking.
Not far away.
Gao Ding was bound to a stone pillar with iron chains.
A strange smile hung at the corner of his mouth.
The black bloodstains on his wrist.
It was slowly dripping down the iron chain.
It seeps into the soil.
Her fingertips quietly reached into her bosom.
He touched the Wei-character token.
A sinister glint flashed in his eyes.
[Hao Ding's inner thoughts]: What's the rush?
Let them fight to the bitter end.
Once the Cao Wei army had completely entered the city.
I then showed the token.
They are the true masters of Nanzhong!
He deliberately shook the iron chain.
It made a splashing sound.
To attract the attention of the guards nearby.
"Guard the child."
"Quickly untie Grandpa's ropes."
"Otherwise, we'll wait for reinforcements to enter the city."
"You'll be the first one I kill!"
The guard shouted sternly, "Stop being so arrogant!"
"Stay put and behave yourself."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Gao Ding scoffed.
A calculating glint flashed in his eyes.
—He had already taken advantage of the chaos.
The chain lock was quietly loosened.
The commotion in the corner went unnoticed, and the fighting deep inside the camp intensified.
The struggle between Ma Zhong and the mastermind behind the scenes is becoming increasingly fierce.
Ma Zhong's shoulder was slashed open by his sword, and blood flowed down the lines of his armor.
The movements gradually slowed down.
The mastermind behind the operation seized the opportunity.
He kicked Ma Zhong in the stomach.
He was kicked to the ground.
"Go to hell!"
He picked up the tinderbox from the ground.
They walked towards the gunpowder pile again.
His eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
Just now.
A furious roar followed.
Meng Huo was carrying a curved sword.
He staggered over.
"You scoundrel, don't you dare hurt my brother!"
Meng Huo was kicked and injured.
Yet they remained brave.
The curved blade, carrying a strong wind, slashed straight at the shoulder of the mastermind behind the conspiracy, the wind from the blade scraping his cheek painfully.
Directly target the mastermind behind the covert operations.
[Meng Huo was anxious]: We must not let him ignite the gunpowder.
Otherwise, everyone will be buried with them!
Otherwise, everyone in the camp would die.
The mastermind behind the operation was forced to turn around and block.
The tinderbox shook again.
It almost went out.
Ma Zhong took the opportunity to get up.
He picked up his gun and charged forward again.
Fighting alongside Meng Huo.
The two attacked from both sides.
The mastermind behind the scheme is gradually losing ground.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
[The mastermind behind the scenes was secretly alarmed]: I didn't expect these two to be so tenacious.
If we drag this out any longer...
This might cause problems!
He suddenly blew a sharp whistle.
The sound pierced through the chaotic shouts of battle.
It was extremely jarring.
After a while.
Several dark figures darted out from the shadows.
They were all holding short knives.
They pounced on Ma Zhong and Meng Huo.
Ma Zhong's heart sank: There's an ambush!
These are the underlying themes.
They even had a backup plan!
The shadowy figure's moves were bizarre.
Cooperate tacitly.
They instantly entangled Ma Zhong and Meng Huo.
The mastermind behind the operation sneered.
He picked up the tinderbox again.
He strode quickly toward the gunpowder pile.
The firelight from the tinderbox.
Getting closer.
The lead wire had been blackened by smoke.
at the same time.
Gao Ding took advantage of the guards being distracted by the whistle.
A sudden burst of power.
They broke free from the loose chains.
He snatched the guard's short stick.
A backhand strike.
He knocked out the guard.
[Hao Ding's heart is filled with ecstasy]: The time has come!
Li Hui was seriously injured.
Ma Zhong was entangled.
Today is the day I turn the tables!
He lowered his body.
They stealthily made their way towards Li Hui.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Li Huigang staggered halfway down the road.
He noticed movement behind him.
He turned around abruptly.
All that could be seen was Gao Ding holding a short stick.
His eyes were full of malice.
It was heading straight for his back.
At the city gate.
Dong Jue was cornered by the cavalry.
The long sword had been chipped.
Blood was streaming down his shoulder.
He watched as more and more Cao Wei reinforcements entered the city.
My heart is filled with despair.
Deep within the camp.
The mastermind behind the scheme.
Finally, they encountered the gunpowder fuse.
"Sizzle—"
White smoke was emitted from the fuse.
It quickly spread towards the gunpowder pile.
Ma Zhong caught a glimpse of white smoke.
His eyes were bloodshot.
I wanted to rush over.
But he was held tightly by the shadowy figure.
"Oh no! The gunpowder is about to explode!"
Meng Huo roared.
He fought valiantly and killed a shadowy figure.
But they were still a step too late.
A high-end short stick.
It was already close to Li Hui's back.
Li Hui had no way to avoid it.
The mastermind behind the operation smirked with smug satisfaction.
Waiting to see them both perish.
At this critical moment.
A cold arrow pierced through the air.
It was precisely aimed at the mastermind's wrist.
The fire folding tool slipped from his hand.
fall to the ground.
But no one knew that it would be trampled out.
A high-end short stick.
It was also gripped tightly by a strong, large hand.
An unfamiliar figure.
Suddenly appeared behind Li Hui.
He exuded a chilling aura.
Everyone was filled with surprise and doubt: Who is this person?
Friend or foe?
The mastermind behind the operation clutched his wrist.
Gazing at that figure.
His eyes were filled with shock and fear.
He never expected this.
This is a crucial moment.
Such a sudden change has occurred.
And that figure.
He slowly turned around.
He wore a black iron mask on his face.
Only a pair of cold eyes were visible.
In his hands.
He held a Wei-character token similar to the one in Gao Ding's arms.
But it is better than the high-end token.
An additional golden line has appeared.
