Chapter 71

Chen Chen began to issue orders.

"Squad Leader Zhou, you take six to ten squads to circle around the back!"

"Yes!"

"Brother Zheng, please join Squad Leader Zhou and take the light cavalry to patrol near the army formation to provide support and containment."

"Rest assured."

"Mixed Gold Blade" Zheng Ye cupped his hands.

The way of army formation lies in using numbers to overwhelm the few and surrounding from all sides.

While maneuvering to circle the back on the flank, almost everyone stared fixedly at that giant rock, four or five steps high and three or four steps wide; even a beetle flying past would attract a large amount of scrutiny.

That squad was in chaos!

This novel is first published on 【Platform】, please go there to read!

Swish! It was that unique sound of a sword blade breaking the air again; a thread of gold, at the moment they were changing arrows, hugged the ground and pounced toward the troops of Squad Leader Zhou who were attempting to circle the back! "Damn it!"

"Close your eyes!"

Clang! Jiang Ding drew his sword, a regular arc swept across, and the arrows snapped into two pieces.

!.

The remaining soldiers scattered in panic, and their morale suffered a devastating blow.

"Young Master Jiang, if you surrender, I will personally plead for you before the Marquis!"

Swish! The talisman sword twisted its body, nimbly bypassing his blade, passing through his throat, and leaving a bright, transparent hole.

Chen Chen didn't dare to blink for even a second.

Chen Chen said loudly.

Squad Leader Zhou, whose internal qi had reached Great Accomplishment, roared anxiously, poking around with an iron spear to provide support everywhere, but how could he keep up with the flying sword?

A heavy armored soldier screamed, his spirit highly tense, and released the bowstring he was holding tight; others were also triggered, and a rain of arrows covered the place where the golden thread had appeared, and the ground was covered with clusters of thorns.

His heart was filled with killing intent.

Everyone obeyed, their footsteps became much lighter, and they didn't even dare to collect the corpses of their comrades, fleeing rapidly down the mountain.

Chen Chen ordered coldly; at the same time, he led half of his men to quickly charge behind the giant rock, everyone drawing their bows and nocking arrows, waiting for the moment they could discover the figure behind the giant rock.

A place with craggy giant rocks.

"Retreat, I will bear all the blame alone."

In an instant, fifty or so men had a forest of spears like rain, their military momentum magnificent, enough to break through a hundred times their number of ordinary soldiers head-on.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven squad leaders and gang experts died, and the army formation fell into huge chaos. "Come on!"

Swish! A thread of gold passed through, and a hole appeared in the throat of the squad leader whose muscles were tense; having barely broken through to the Internal Qi Realm with external force, he didn't even have time to react before he fell powerlessly, blood flowing all over the ground.

Chen Chen slashed at a bowl-sized tree in front of him as if venting his anger.

Swish, swish, swish! The golden thread moved back and forth!

Gradually, soldiers and squad leaders gathered around, their faces full of fear, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Get out of the way!"

The talisman sword flexibly twisted its body, avoiding nine heavy iron spears, and killed toward the throat of the squad leader of that unit.

"Yes!"

"Mixed Gold Blade" Zheng Ye was the same; the difference was that the martial arts people under him had extremely poor discipline, and many had already fled, leaving only a few people like "Point Evil Pen" Yao Xiu.

Chen Chen sighed long, his face full of desolation.

Squad Leader Zhou shouted, his heart and mind tense, not daring to advance another step.

However, facing a flying sword 40 centimeters long and 3.5 centimeters wide, the so-called "impenetrable" was a bit ridiculous.

Almost all the soldiers and squad leaders felt a blur before their eyes and couldn't see anything, just a vast whiteness; after waiting for a few seconds, they recovered amidst the surging of powerful qi and blood, but there were still multiple shadows before their eyes. With powerful strength, terrifying light-body techniques, and such heaven-defying items as the Hundred-Pace Flying Sword, how could they surround and attack? "Forget it!"

Jiang Ding said softly: "Great Sun Spirit-Gathering Array, release."

He was glad that this giant rock was a relatively isolated existence, with no other rocks nearby within ten or so meters that could provide cover.

Squad Leader Zhou obeyed the order and took the two squads that could still maintain their formation to continue the encirclement regardless of casualties.

Large amounts of blood were sprinkled in the mountain forest; the talisman sword flew back and forth among the heavy armored soldiers, and it only chose squad leaders at the Early and Minor Accomplishment stages of Internal Qi to attack, not moving at all against ordinary soldiers or squad leaders at the Great Accomplishment stage of Internal Qi and above.

This flying sword was too small!

The squad leader's eyes widened in anger, he drew his blade, and his Minor Accomplishment-level internal power gathered entirely in the blade's edge, slashing down with all his might at the golden thread!

Of course, he didn't dare to go up; the twelve people on the Dragon-Phoenix List were all dead, so how could he dare? He was just waiting for the other soldiers who were slightly out of sync to arrive, and he wasn't afraid of the other party escaping; once they left the cover of the giant rock, a fierce attack and volley would instantly destroy the enemy.

Within two breaths, two squad leaders at the Internal Qi Realm died.

Alas, this was East Spirit Mountain; it was impossible to completely avoid the terrain of mountain rocks.

Swish! Suddenly, he heard a faint sound of breaking air, and a thread of gold flashed and disappeared from the dwarf trees and withered leaves on the ground.

Chen Chen had tried his best to avoid this kind of terrain; his soldiers were all extraordinary, and they didn't necessarily have to walk on cleared paths.

Everyone spared a glance, looking at the giant rock on one side and the ground on the other.

With such a formation, martial artists at the Minor Accomplishment stage of Internal Qi would die instantly, those at the Great Accomplishment stage would be injured, and those at the Perfection stage of Internal Qi would also be delayed for at least a few breaths before being submerged by the rapidly arriving main force.

"Defense! Spear formation!"

Chen Chen's belated order was finally issued; his internal power and qi and blood were powerful, and he recovered in less than half a second, seeing a green shadow flash in the woods and disappear.

"General..."

It was thin and narrow, and hugged the ground tightly; it could hide by finding any rock, and could even pierce into the soil to hide itself briefly; arrows couldn't play much of a role at all.

"Stab!"

Swish! Seeing that the enemy was about to complete the encirclement, Jiang Ding beckoned with his hand, and the talisman sword that was killing in Squad Leader Zhou's unit turned back, hovering in the air a few meters off the ground.

This item was a great enemy of army formations!

He shot an arrow, which the other party dodged casually, not even touching the corner of his clothes.

Many people were excited by the reward and bent their bows to shoot arrows; seven or eight arrows were shot together.

It was only a distance of a few dozen meters; in just a short while, the heavy armored soldiers who had endured the casualties of many squad leaders approached the giant rock, and some of those walking in front had even seen the green-clad youth quietly watching them from behind the giant rock.

Chen Chen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Yes!"

In an instant, half of the Great Sun essence absorbed under the sunlight for many days suddenly erupted; it was as if a sun had appeared in the sky, and the extremely bright light illuminated the ground for dozens of meters.

"Continue to circle the back!"

If they were facing people, even if the casualties were heavier, they wouldn't be like this after years of rigorous training; this feeling of only being able to wait for slaughter was too powerless.

The squad leader of that unit was terrified and ordered shrilly; nine iron spears stabbed out through the air under the instinct of survival, forming a tight encirclement net around the talisman sword.

"On the ground!"

Attack where the enemy must save, attack where the enemy must save; now they couldn't even advance to within five miles of the Blue Fluorescence Butterfly camp.

Swish! The familiar sound of breaking air rang in everyone's ears, and they couldn't help but show expressions of despair.

"Your Excellency!"

Chen Chen's tiger eyes widened, and he roared:

"Do you really want to fight my Marquis of Zhen-Dong's mansion to the death? My Marquis of Zhen-Dong's mansion is not without a Primordial expert as a foundation!"
