When a person's various functions suddenly improve, it is actually easier to become uncoordinated. An enemy soldier leaped over the carriage and swung a battle axe at him. He Lingchuan parried with one hand and, spinning around, delivered a ruthless slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on the force of the strike, the opponent should have suffered a grave wound to the chest and abdomen, then collapsed while clutching his chest and spraying blood. However, He Lingchuan felt a difference the moment this strike went out; it was unexpectedly fast and fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent was sliced in two while still in mid-air, even his vertebrae severed. The wind happened to be blowing in his direction, splashing hot blood all over his face and nearly preventing him from opening his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he reached up to rub his eyes, another Baling enemy moved in to stab him. Commandant Xiao kicked the man away and said to He Lingchuan, \"Save your strength, lest you be unable to lift your arms later!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combat requires not only speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, but also endurance and persistence. No one knows how long a battle will last, but only those who live to the end can win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan spat twice; his saliva was full of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent's blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metallic taste in his mouth made him nauseous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last time he killed someone was on the Panlong Wasteland, where he only used flying knives. This was the first time he had hacked an opponent into two bloody halves during close-quarters combat, with their entrails spilling all over the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no time to feel sick, as the enemies kept rushing up in an endless stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the attack, the Baling army discovered the carriage formation blocking the road; their most impactful cavalry certainly could not get through. The method they adopted was to have fierce soldiers charge ahead, crossing the carriage formation first to engage the Dafeng army, buying time for their comrades in the rear to move the carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, they had tried to launch a surprise attack via the water, as the river was right beside them. This played right into the hands of the archers on the riverbank, who hit their targets with every shot. The men in the water were unable to maneuver, and by the time they finally swam to the bank, the Dafeng army would use their long spears to make kebabs out of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most troublesome part was that the Baling nation was deep inland, and too few soldiers knew how to swim. Of the twenty or so who went into the water, only two or three managed to bypass the carriage formation and charge into the Dafeng army, only to be poked to death by their opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, a portion of them began climbing the riverbed, preparing to kill the archers so they could also fire arrows from a superior position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Commandant Xiao and the others finished off the fierce soldiers, they switched to using spears and halberds to stab the enemy soldiers moving the carriages, hindering their efforts to shift them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone understood that their side was not looking for victory, only to hold the enemy back until reinforcements arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle entered a white-hot state from the very beginning. He Lingchuan did not even have time to feel nauseous. After repelling another enemy, he reached back to draw his one-handed crossbow and fired an arrow upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish,\" a poor wretch about to climb onto the riverbed was struck by the arrow and tumbled down headfirst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it, he had clearly aimed for the Baling soldier's head, but ended up hitting his buttocks. This accuracy still needed more practice; it was way off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive object suddenly smashed down beside him, shattering into pieces upon impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan took a look; it was actually a carriage, which had originally been carrying two large crates. Now, the crates had been flung out as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Dafeng soldier nearby shouted, \"Watch out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as He Lingchuan turned his face, he felt the light completely blocked by a mountain-like figure, and something else slammed into him from below with heavy, powerful force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the critical moment, he only had time to raise his arm to protect his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud \"bang,\" he was sent flying ten feet high and twenty feet away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that instant, his left forearm snapped, but the crisp sound was completely drowned out by the noise of the collision. He Lingchuan couldn't help but cry out in pain while in mid-air; after landing, he rolled several times and couldn't stand up at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain of a broken arm was bone-chilling and heart-piercing; it was his first time experiencing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was only because his reaction was fast, and he had leaned back in time while using his arm to block; otherwise, that heavy, powerful strike would have smashed his jaw to pieces and caused a brain concussion or blockage. This type of attack is commonly known as a \"sky-piercing cannon\"; those hit and sent flying are at best unconscious and at worst dead—either way, they cannot stand up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby enemies saw this and rushed over, wanting to claim a head. Fortunately, He Lingchuan kept his wits about him. Seeing a blood-stained axe descending from the sky, he managed to roll away, avoiding the decapitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent had used too much force, and the axe blade, glinting with a cold light, embedded itself in the sandy ground just two inches from his nose! Even in the Panlong illusion, death had never been this close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this still a dream? Wasn't it said that people don't feel pain in dreams? He Lingchuan widened his eyes; due to the stress, his heart was thumping rapidly. Before the enemy could pull out the axe, he kicked the man in the belly. The latter stumbled and lost his grip on the axe handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Dafeng soldier in the rear spotted the opportunity and, with a horizontal slash, chopped the man's head off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who kill others shall be killed by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's head landed and rolled once, ending up directly facing He Lingchuan. Those eyeballs were bulging, and the expression on his face was truly indescribable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier reached out to He Lingchuan and pulled him up from the ground: \"Are you alright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan's face was pale, his teeth were chattering, and sweat poured from his forehead like a waterfall: \"I'm alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he knew clearly that because of the effect of the State Decree, the pain of all soldiers was temporarily dulled; this was also a necessity of combat. That is to say, once the State Decree lost its effect, the broken arm would hurt even more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a dream, was it necessary to be this realistic? He cursed the Broken Blade in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your arm is broken.\" He turned his head and shouted, \"A-Luo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soldier dodged the rain of spears and arrows to run over, helped He Lingchuan up, and sat him down under the riverbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every Dafeng squad had a part-time medic. A-Luo stuffed a pill into He Lingchuan's mouth: \"Swallow it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pill was actually slightly sweet and melted upon contact with his tongue, turning into a sweet liquid that flowed into his belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over a dozen breaths, He Lingchuan felt the pain in his left arm greatly diminish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the blessing of the State Decree, the efficacy of medicine taken by soldiers would also be enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Luo also took off a splint and came over, first resetting his bone and applying medicine, then using the splint to firmly fix his left arm against his ribs with very practiced movements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This will do for now. If you can make it back alive, you'll have to rest for two months!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan grabbed the one-handed crossbow: \"Help me reload.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only had one hand left and couldn't load the bolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Luo was stunned, but still complied and helped him load two crossbow bolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Lingchuan took two breaths to steady his emotions, raised the crossbow with one hand, and aimed at the culprit who had injured him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Luo took one look and said, \"You were injured by Meng Shan? Not bad, to have actually survived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He patted He Lingchuan's shoulder lightly and then turned back to help others. The more intense the battle, the heavier his workload.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Meng Shan that He Lingchuan was aiming at was a bear-like giant, a head taller than a tall person like He Lingchuan, and twice his size.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heavy armor was custom-made, two sizes larger than that of an ordinary person; standing still, he looked like a door panel, and when he ran, he looked like a roaring locomotive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, those who crossed the carriage formation were all agile, small-statured people. He Lingchuan hadn't expected this mountain-like fellow to be able to get across either. In reality, Meng Shan, clad in heavy armor, shouldn't have been able to jump in, but Commandant Xiao and the others had played a game of \"carriage stacking\" earlier, using great effort to stack the largest carriage on top of several others and pressing two large crates on top to secure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you everyone, the follow-up reading data has skyrocketed over the past week! \"The Immortal\" has successfully entered the next round of PK, please continue to support me!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1583,"2026-06-20T02:23:30.219Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","535f0b410ab252cfca7853cc648a768b3ac0d41a8f774d55b9d3921f30c3ea68","after-the-immortals-disappeared-chapter-94","after-the-immortals-disappeared-chapter-92",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-immortals-disappeared-cover.jpg"]
