Chapter 42, "Not Right"

Wei knew that by using the power of the king and the help of his soldiers, he could capture martial arts masters and slaughter them like pigs. This would definitely change the perspective of some soldiers who practice martial arts towards him.
Although this will make him a king, ruling over Dongze County will have no impact whatsoever.
Not to mention just this, his cousin, after ascending to the throne, has committed countless evil and foolish acts. Now he is a known tyrant and yet he still sits on the throne, commanding the whole world.
"These people are paid with salaries by the lord, and if there is no reason, the lord will not swing the butcher knife at them, and they will obey the lord's military orders."
Wei Lie's ambitious gaze swept over those soldiers.
But what he wanted was not just to be a prince.
Only with the support of the army, with soldiers' continuous respect for him, can he have a reliable military power to fight for the world in the future, and fight against enemies with even greater efforts.
A mediocre and incapable lord who only relies on power, and a lord who cares for and respects his soldiers, their positions in the hearts of the soldiers are completely different.
Whoosh!
Wei Lie loudly ordered to release Shen Hong, and the soldiers stepped forward to open the prison, timidly removing the prisoner's dragon lock from Shen Hong's sturdy figure.
Unlocking the chains, I could clearly hear the sound of the spikes being pulled out from my flesh, and fresh blood gushing from the wounds.
"Wei Lie..."
When all the dragon shackles were removed, Shen Hong, who had been wearing prisoner's clothes and had long, messy hair hanging down, suddenly lifted his head, revealing a somewhat ugly and terrifying face, with a pair of eyes radiating a fierce glare.
He swung his arm and the two soldiers on both sides were swept away like rag dolls, landing on the ground and spewing blood with serious injuries.
"Wei Lie!"
Shen Hong stared intently at Wei Lie. The scarred, tall and burly figure got off the prisoner cart, with raging anger burning in his eyes and shouting loudly, as if harboring deep-seated hatred.
Terror swept across the land like a ferocious beast!
A group of soldiers panicked and suffocated.
"Everyone, retreat!"
Some soldiers, in fear and confusion, tried to step forward to protect him, but Wei Lie waved his hand and shouted, signaling everyone to retreat.
"One person is enough for Benhou!"
His gaze swept over Shen Hong's injuries, sneering twice.
"Shen Hong, under Benhou's rule in Dongze County, you gather tens of thousands of evil bandits, dominating the mountains, committing all sorts of crimes. Today, Benhou will take your heart's blood to sacrifice to my divine axe!"
With a shout, Wei Lie suddenly stomped the ground, ferociously swinging his axe and leaping forward to attack!
Originally, Shen Hong had the strength of a Grandmaster in martial arts. Only with the personal intervention of his martial saint, Pei Xuan, and the leadership of a large army, were they able to capture Shen Hong and bring an end to the bandit hill.
But Shen Hong is now severely injured and his strength is almost non-existent.
"I will take your life within ten moves!"
"Wei Lie, you are the biggest thug in Dongze County!"
With bloodshot eyes, Shen Hong yelled in a low voice and grabbed a huge prison cart next to him, weighing over ten thousand catties, and swung it away!
Wei Li shouted and swung his axe to split open the prison wagon, but immediately saw a huge fist coming towards him, carrying a terrifying power that seemed capable of shattering mountains.
He defended himself with his horizontally-held axe, and with a loud bang, he was blasted away, his body crashing into more than a dozen maple trees.
The fiery red maple leaves fall from the sky.
Wei Lie grunts and lands on the ground, staggering to steady himself as he lifts his axe and looks up, his eyes wide open.
His body is as tough as iron, and he is not heavily injured by breaking tens of trees, but he is shocked by the strength that Shen Hong has just displayed.
Wei Lie originally intended to quickly slaughter other martial arts masters, leaving a severely wounded but notorious Shen Hong to make a move and kill him to regain his previous reputation.
However, Shen Hong, who was seriously injured, shouldn't have retained so much strength according to reason.
Whoosh!
"Wei Gou, you are in Dongze County, imposing heavy taxes without regard for the lives of the people, plundering recklessly, and forcing many impoverished villagers to their deaths.
The gold and silver I looted after going up the mountain are not even worth one percent of what you have gained!"
申弘口中吐出热气，原本魁梧的身躯不知是不是错觉仿佛更膨大了数分，他肌肉贲张，青筋宛若虬龙，眼神愤怒通红，仿佛想起了什么痛心之事，死死盯着魏列。
"What makes you qualified to call me and my men evil bandits?"
"Anyone in Dongze County has the right to call Shen Hong an evil bandit, except for Wei Lie. In terms of looting wealth, Wei Lie surpasses him by a hundredfold."
After he went up the mountain, he only plundered wealthy merchant caravans, while Wei Lie spared no poor people!
"Look for death!"
Wei Lie didn't even bother to talk, he swung his axe to meet him, only hoping to quickly kill Shen Hong and end it all.
Just being knocked flying has already caused him to lose some face.
申弘抄起半截囚车，和他大战在一起！
"Something is not right..."
On the battlefield, the old and dignified Pei Xuan frowned at Shen Hong, doubt crossing his eyes.
Shen Hong was personally captured by him, and he remembered that although Shen Hong was tall and burly, he was not that tall, almost half a body taller than an average person.
It's impossible for Shen Hong to grow taller in prison!
And Shen Hong's display of strength is also wrong; he shouldn't have such strength with those injuries on his body.
Huh huh huh!
Shen Hong and Wei Lie are fighting, shouting in anger, and the more they fight, the more Shen Hong's body swells and becomes tall.
I haven't heard of any secret technique that can achieve such a level.
Wei Lie deeply feels the pressure, even if he has a sharp axe in his hand that can cut through iron like mud, it is still difficult to inflict serious injuries on Shen Hong. Shen Hong's burly figure displays astonishing speed as well. His punches come down like mountains falling, pushing aside layers of air, terrifying and horrifying.
With his Chiyu Axe in hand, Wei Lie gradually fell into a disadvantageous position in his battle with He Zhi.
"Something's not right!"
As Wei Lie showed signs of defeat, Pei Xuan frowned and couldn't help but take a step forward to intervene and repel Shen Hong.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a common soldier's spear came rushing through the air with terrifying speed towards him!
