Chapter 260: Chapter 145: Charging the Formation, Slaying the Generals—Who Dares Stand in the Way (Part 3)
He only felt that the Black Sword before him was like cold lightning, yet also like a towering peak,
The meanings of heaviness and sharpness simultaneously imprinted deep into his heart, causing him to lose his sense of perception, unable to think of any way to respond.
Five hundred military qi gathered, hastily switching from offense to defense, the shaft of the spear slightly upright, trying to divert the force of the opponent’s forward slash.
But he found it seemed as if the spear was weighed down by a rolling river, completely immovable.
Infinite power surged back, seemingly unstoppable.
Bang...
In the midst of the tremors.
Jiang Ziyang’s arm bones simultaneously fractured, bone fragments breaking at the joints, white bones splashed and shot backward, droplets of blood like arrows and darts whistling back.
"Young Master."
Xiao Chengfeng’s heart was in a panic.
What is this?
Your military array is formidable, and the strength gathered in assault is undeniably powerful, but it also depends on who you’re up against.
Who doesn’t know of Chen Ping’s unmatched divine power in Primordial Sect, not fearing a direct clash after mastering the Primordial Golden Body Technique.
Even if you are in the Innate Realm, relying on the military array’s strength, you cannot underestimate the heroes of the world.
What’s more, haven’t you seen Fang Qingzhu, behaving obediently like a timid wife?
Even Fang Qingzhu can only submit; you, someone not even ranked at the forefront of the Hidden Dragon List, what prominence are you trying to assert, what nonsense are you causing?
"Spare him."
Xiao Chengyun wielded his sword left-handed, a sword like clouds and smoke, delivering it right before Chen Ping.
The power endlessly and gently, borrowing strength to unload force was executed with the utmost precision, a sword thrust diverted the trajectory of Chen Ping’s forward slashing Black Dragon Sword.
Only then could Jiang Ziyang be heard letting out a thunderous scream of pain.
Both of his arms, in just one encounter with a sword, had completely broken.
The Eight-Flame Fire Spear in his hand, like broken copper and iron, was cleaved in two by the sword light, shooting apart to both sides, stabbing to death two cavalrymen.
"If you want to seize the Azure Dragon Seal, you must be prepared to die."
Chen Ping appeared stern, a sword in hand, sensing the flow of qi and intents from every person and horse on the battlefield.
After the Azure Dragon Seal was activated, exotic energy was absorbed greatly into him, his physique and essence thickened, filled with a sense of overflowing abundance.
The entire power of his body increased inexplicably by over three thousand pounds, now reaching the strength of forty thousand pounds.
Then he swung the 238-pound Black Dragon Sword.
It seemed effortless, yet every move resulted in landslides and ground-breaking, completely unstoppable.
Furthermore, with his mastery of the Primordial Golden Body Technique reaching the Mastery Realm, opening the jade pillow of the Three Divine Acupoints, gathering his qi and blood, establishing the Heavenly Lake.
Every moment the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism entered his mind, everything around became clear, his mind immensely clear.
Whether it be qi mechanism, blood essence, or Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism, killing intent and hostility, all reflected in his heart, nowhere to hide.
Within hundreds of feet radius, every move of the enemy passed through his mind, seen clearly and unmistakably.
Someone like Jiang Ziyang, a war general charging fiercely and borrowing the military array’s strength for attack, is especially liked by him.
According to reason, with the united force of eight hundred military qi in attack, there was nothing one couldn’t defeat.
This was precisely the reason Jiang Ziyang was full of confidence, knowing he faced a formidable master, yet still dared to advance and clash, disregarding the heroes of the world.
Yet he could never anticipate, before the military qi could reach its peak, Chen Ping’s sword struck the node, temporarily scattering the military qi...
Within a brief moment, he was alone in an ocean, directly facing ten thousand waves.
With a pop, both arms were shattered, his entire strength, was reversed and drawn back by a single sword.
His figure couldn’t help but rise, losing all control.
The winds rapidly passed by, Xiao Chengyun already moved in to aid, a sword deflected the soul-stirring Black Dragon Sword, Jiang Ziyang’s heart slightly rejoiced, yet immediately turned to resentment: "Fire arrows, don’t let him recover."
As he thought, as long as the five hundred cavalry behind simultaneously attacked, arrow rain fell, spears chaotically stabbed.
Even if the opponent had three heads and six arms, they would be overwhelmed, forced to die on the spot.
"Naive."
Chen Ping’s mouth slightly twisted, coldly laughed aloud.
The diverted Black Dragon Sword suddenly disappeared, clearly tangled and guided by Xiao Chengyun with unrivaled sword skill, unloading and locking force, the sword flickered and vanished from sight.
Next noticed, the sword light already exploded like thunder, bursting the air, piercing mid-air into Jiang Ziyang’s forehead.
"Seven Stars Sky Split, Clear Wind Shadowless..."
Xiao Chengyun’s insight was profound, seeing this sword momentum and intent, his heart chilled halfway.
The opponent’s Black Dragon Sword seemed heavy and clumsy, yet when moved it was extremely agile.
The sword edge wasn’t too sharp, hardly whetted, yet with one movement, Jiang Ziyang’s Thousand Refinement Radiant Gold Fire Spear was directly cleaved into two.
This sword, naturally, was the unparalleled sharp Seven Stars Sword Technique, reputed as capable of cleaving anything under heaven.
That was enough, what followed, the sword technique used was even more peculiar, seemingly here yet there, completely unpredictable where it would appear next.
Impossible to lockprevent.
This was evidently Qingwei Mountain’s exclusive sword technique, Clear Wind Shadowless Sword.
Seeing mountains as mountains, seeing mountains as yet not mountains.
Where the heart lies, there the sword lies.
Just understanding the significance of these two swords.
Xiao Chengyun felt a sharp pain within his heart.
In his eyes, Jiang Ziyang’s head had already been pierced by the sword light.
With a bang, it exploded into blood splashing across the sky.
"No..."
Feeling the sword light like a frenzied dragon ascending to heaven, roaring back, before having met the sword, his forehead, chest, and dantian all felt split into two.
Xiao Chengyun felt cold in his heart, dared not linger longer, his spine extended and contracted like a dragon, his body bounced, sword light moving, with a swift sound, retreated over ten yards.
Shouting fiercely, "Retreat, fall back..."
Rushing forward was easy, retreating difficult.
The rushing Vermilion Bird Cavalry could not stop, still charging ahead.
Tangled by Chen Ping’s sword light, already over ten riders had fallen.
Then, an azure shadow was seen soaring, leaping several times, passing through the Vermilion Bird Cavalry’s long formation.
Carrying one on the shoulder, holding one in the left hand, placing the Golden Seal in his arms, wielding the Black Sword in the right hand, rushing forward.
Leaving dozens of residual shadows behind, his body thrust forward, wind like a cone.
"Should we block?"
Ji Xuanwu’s eyes narrowed fiercely.
If earlier in action together, everyone was just idling, unable to discern anyone’s might.
But seen now, evokes a sense of startling fear.
I am ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, the opponent ranked eighteenth.
By common deduction, I should be twice as strong than him.
In fact?
Watching the earlier Vermilion Bird Army Commander Jiang Ziyang stride boldly forth, the one who had gathered military qi, the East Wood Army’s Young Master whom I dared not confront directly, torn like paper, brain smashed apart.
While the world-renowned grandmaster Xiao Chengyun, ranked twenty-first on the Earth List, only knows to constrain from the side, dared not directly confront a single move.
Moreover, after Chen Ping charged through, could only helplessly scream for the cavalry to retreat, dared not to pursue further.
Is this still Xiao Chengfeng of the East Wood Army’s Military Advisor?
Perhaps I encountered a fake one.
"Can’t be blocked."
A deep voice rang beside.
Huwei Army Commander Xu Yanzong slightly moved his Heaven-Piercing Halberd, the military posture expanded, shielding the hesitating Ji Xuanwu behind, furthermore leading the army to retreat, opening a pathway.
"Mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, Chen Ping, though formidable, cannot be matched individually.
Yet the Beizhou Hu Cavalry has moved, will certainly not spare him... waiting for them to fight, both sides being severely wounded, is the opportune moment for us to act."
"Uncle Xu speaks precisely."
Ji Xuanwu let out a long breath, feeling his back drenched with cold sweat.
Just a moment ago, simply due to the thought of attempting to block, the qi mechanism drawn forth, he discovered a towering mountain weighing heavily in his heart, leaving him breathless.
Now opening the pathway, finally catching his breath slightly.
