Chen Ping's Sword

Chapter 373: Chapter 80: Blades Everywhere, Even Tigers Count as Men (Part 2)

This surge of intent came suddenly, and Yangg Tao reflexively spurred her horse forward. Within the array, she had no room for resistance, only compliance with the command, inwardly feeling a pang of bitterness.

"Sect Leader Brother must have muddled things up. I can’t hold on."

Eight riders suddenly burst out ahead, forming a fan shape, surrounding her, their weapons dividing and sweeping with a fierce wind, seemingly about to shatter her in one wave.

Unexpectedly, a surge of blood-red light erupted from Yangg Tao, a thread of silver light grew brighter and then transformed into dazzling golden radiance. A horizontal slash followed the most correct path destined by fate, the blade’s edge mysteriously vibrating, giving birth to thunder, transforming into a vast golden blade light, sweeping across with a roar.

The eight staggered red armored knights charging ahead were filled with confusion in their eyes, unable to utter a sound before they simultaneously fell from their horses, split in two.

"Great, I’ve become formidable."

As Yangg Tao slashed, she felt omnipotent. Before she could comprehend what was happening, she noticed the honest, silent fellow, her twenty-third senior brother, across five horse positions, letting out a wild roar, his spear casting a dancing shadow, also transforming into streaks of golden light. The soldiers in front of him fell like timber, instantly killed on the spot.

"This is the power transmission from the array, heart-to-heart communication, striking from all directions."

Yangg Tao felt the mighty force retreating like tide, but instead of feeling a bit of frustration, she became even more invigorated.

No doubt, that "Sect Leader Brother" had advanced another step in understanding the array.

Even though there were only a hundred and eighty-six of them,

they could be regarded as an unparalleled force of Innate Grandmasters, even Grandmasters.

No weakness remained, each could stand on their own.

"Even if Jiang Wuji were to break through the array to my forefront, I’d dare to spar a few moves with him."

Yangg Tao thought.

Nearly two hundred riders thought this way simultaneously.

This small cavalry squad suddenly transformed, as if it had become a divine weapon, weaving among the battlefield, sweeping all before them without any cavalry able to hinder them at all.

Feeling Chen Ping’s halberd blade transforming into waves, advancing with unstoppable force.

One hundred and eighty-six voices shouted simultaneously.

Like a golden long snake, breaking open a large gap in the layered Vermilion Bird Heaven-Burning Array.

They slaughtered hundreds of riders, directly breaking the array to emerge.

During this time, Vermilion Bird General Xiao Tong dared not obstruct.

"Striking from all directions, capable of commanding an army of one hundred thousand."

Chen Ping felt deeply delighted for the first time, sensing the entire battlefield was under his control. Emerging from the array now seemed as easy as turning his hand.

However, to stop these two large forces with just this number of troops was absolutely impossible.

Thus, there was only one solution.

That is, "Combined Array."

Fortunately, Han Xiaoru’s proficiency with the array had reached the Communication level, her cultivation realm had reached the Innate Golden Body, though at a disadvantage now, her resilience was remarkably strong, undefeated, battling back and forth with Cangsong General, one of the Four Spirits and Eight Generals, which was already sufficient.

Chen Ping led one hundred and eighty-six riders, flashing like a golden snake to Han Xiaoru’s side.

"Enter the array."

He turned his horse, darting forward, already blocking in front of Han Xiaoru, the halberd roar turning into a giant mountain, sweeping sideways, shocking Yu Hanshan pale-faced, retreating seven or eight steps with both the man and horse.

Simultaneously, the one hundred and eighty-six riders merged into the sea like drops of water, joining the five thousand riders – no, now only four thousand two hundred or so riders.

The two cavalry forces became one, the Azure Dragon Seal shone brightly, making everyone’s hearts settle down, battle intent soaring.

The entire Giant Soaring Snake Array transformed into a golden dragon, roaming around as if sprouting wings.

Amid deafening shouts.

Charging and impacting, slicing through Cangsong General’s array with roots cutting tofu, easily breaking it apart.

Main General Yu Hanshan blocked only three moves before Chen Ping shattered his long blade with a single strike, the force infiltrating to seal his Qi meridians, capturing him alive and tossing him into the hands of the riders behind.

The formation didn’t pause as Chen Ping, this time, led the charge, halberd light howling, directly breaking through the Red Armored Iron Cavalry’s obstruction, locking onto Vermilion Bird General Xiao Tong’s forefront.

Now he no longer withheld his Grandmaster combat power, bolstered by the military Qi of five thousand riders behind him, sweeping the halberd as if collapsing the sky with air bursting.

Every strike stirred a frenzy of lightning and gale.

Xiao Tong could only take two moves before feeling numb all over, knowing he couldn’t match force. He wanted the array to cover his retreat.

But discovered that those Red Armored Cavalry not only failed to assist him but instead blocked him in every direction, forcing him to endure the enemy main general’s attack.

"From array to martial force, complete crushing, how can we fight?"

Taking the fifth halberd strike.

Xiao Tong’s skin entirely cracked, his red lance in hand suddenly dropping to the ground, he no longer counterattacked on horseback, closing his eyes awaiting death.

Chen Ping knocked him out with a halberd, reaching out to capture, facing the crumbled Vermilion Bird Army and Cangsong Army like fleeing ants, shouting, "Drop your weapons, surrender and live, any resisters, kill without mercy."

Five thousand riders behind, transformed into eight tentacles, charging in all directions.

Then, only the sound of countless shouts and weapons being dropped to the ground was heard.

The battlefield that had been murderous to the death quickly subsided.

...

"Senior Sister, can you still battle one more time?"

Chen Ping looked at Han Xiaoru with a smile, surprised to find that this sturdy lady showed no trace of exhaustion, her eyes shining brightly, her aura growing stronger.
