Chapter 1 The Night

Darkness is always the best camouflage.

At Zheng Boye's command, the Yan army, which had previously relinquished nearly all strategic initiative, began to move swiftly in one direction.

No one shouted or screamed, and no one became hysterical. The atmosphere was contagious. Everyone was quiet, which was a sign of true military discipline.

This was different from marching in formation, which could be enforced by a drillmaster with a whip.

This was also different from the impulsiveness and frenzy of soldiers whose brains had been inflamed by slogans and promises of rewards.

These soldiers had all been on the battlefield and fought many victorious battles. Not all, but most of them were veterans.

The advantage of veterans is that they know what to do on the battlefield.

For example, right now,

They didn't think that shouting would attract the Chu people's attention in advance, at least, they hadn't thought of that;

They simply felt that it was better to save their strength for the upcoming battle than to shout.

The true veterans of a hundred battles are different in their daily lives, but on the battlefield, they almost simultaneously shed their human shells;

Transforming into beasts,

For the sake of hunting,

Only hunting,

Everything,

Is for the sake of hunting.

Tearing the enemy's throat, prying open the enemy's head, tearing down the enemy's banner and trampling it underfoot, this was their collective belief at this moment.

It was not easy to bring these soldiers together. If it hadn't been for Zheng Boye personally taking command, no other general could have done it;

Prestige matters; people will trust you if you have it, because you once made a daring raid and achieved a great victory, performing great deeds. That's why everyone has hope, trust, and identification with you.

But even so, Zheng Boye had been keeping this army hidden. How Liang Cheng was doing could be left aside for the moment. After all, no matter what, after Liang Cheng acquired the warhorses from the Chu people's horse farm and transformed into a cavalry force once again, the Yan army's confidence was different;

Zheng Boye, on the other hand, didn't even attack the city where the Regent was located, all for the sake of keeping this spirit unbroken and intact, all to be used at this moment!

The Qingluan Army's right flank had already deviated westward from its intended forward range. Their target was Juyang City;

Zhang Huang's unit, as the vanguard of Qu Peiluo's central army, had pushed too far ahead early on. When marching towards Juyang City, they were essentially already running to the south of the Yan army.

Simplifying the battlefield into a plane, it can be divided into five sections.

The Chu people occupy four, and the Yan people occupy one.

The right flank was separated first, the central army's vanguard was pushing south, the central army was dragging behind but also pushing in, and the left flank was still at Dahe Town.

The enemy is numerous and we are few. This battle is not unwinnable. In fact, throughout history, no battle has ever been simply decided by counting heads on both sides. If that were the case, then the world would have been at peace long ago.

But as the "few" side, it is crucial to concentrate forces and choose which one to strike.

Gou Moli's series of operations were actually aimed at tearing the already loosely formed Qingluan Army even further apart. His goal had always been fixed on the Qingluan Army's central force, which was Qu Peiluo's position.

Taking out its central force is like delivering a fatal blow to a person's heart. The remaining limbs, though seemingly strong, are actually no longer a threat.

Moreover, night battles are a huge challenge for both the attacking and the attacked. Under the cover of darkness, once the army is deployed and the battle begins, the chain of command from top to bottom will inevitably fail. It will be difficult for generals to control their own battlefield and units as they would during the day.

Therefore, the goal of a night battle must be clear and simple.

Zheng Boye's order to the Yan army was to advance northeast with the entire army, without stopping, and break through all the way to the Qingtan shore!

Only point out a general direction,

Then,

Charge and kill!

……

"Kill!!!!!"

"Kill!!!!!"

The collision came extremely suddenly, at least for the Qingluan Army, it seemed so abrupt.

Because they had not discovered the main force of the Yan army before, and in front of them, there was Zhang Huang's vanguard. According to common sense, the vanguard should have made contact with the enemy first, and then they would prepare to respond.

Who would have thought that the Yan army would directly skip the vanguard and strike their central force?

Moreover, after landing during the day, the Qingluan Army had been fighting wits with "air" under Qu Peiluo's command, standing in formation wearing armor, and constantly moving and changing formations. Even without fighting, it was enough to exhaust the soldiers, while the Yan army, except for Xue San, who had briefly contacted Lin Rong's unit with a small group, had actually been sitting there resting for most of the day.

A bold tactical setting, almost gambling away the initiative on the battlefield, taking such a big risk, its purpose was to gain an advantage by waiting for the enemy to tire.

At the same time,

The Chu army was busy "rescuing," and in the midst of a forced march with their own vanguard in front, the military columns had no way to maintain their formation. The infantry phalanx that the Chu people had always been proud of was now a joke.

Therefore,

After the first wave of contact with the Yan army,

The second wave and subsequent third and fourth waves of the Yan army penetrated directly into the main body of the Qingluan Army's central force like a knife through butter.

The slaughter under the cover of night often gives people a sense of panic to the extreme. After the soldiers' formations were cut apart, they immediately fell into a situation where soldiers could not find their generals and generals could not find their soldiers. Therefore, under normal circumstances, breaking up a small army at night is equivalent to them "leaving" the battlefield and being unable to change the overall situation.

If it were during the day, under the flags or the shouts of other generals, they could still gather into a ball and use a snowball effect to gather the scattered soldiers and redeploy them, but now, it was impossible.

Furthermore, the Yan people charged very quickly. When the comrades in front were broken through, the Chu army in the rear had no time to organize any formations, and might even be broken down by their own comrades who had retreated from the front.

And these comrades often mixed with the Yan army that had charged over. If you attacked them, you might accidentally chop your own people; if you didn't attack them, the shadow in front might not be your own comrades but the Yan army, who would give you a knife as soon as they came up!

In local areas, the Chu people still had the advantage in numbers, so the battlefield quickly turned into a situation where Chu people were hacking at each other. Both sides became completely bloodshot. Some people woke up and wanted to stop this infighting, but the opposite side had already raised their knives and slashed over. There was no way, they had to keep killing to save their lives.

For a time, shouts of killing were everywhere. For the soldiers of the central force, it seemed that a large number of Yan troops were charging from the southeast, west, and three directions.

The true main force of the Qingluan Army had actually been buried in Yupancheng. This one could be regarded as an army formed by the rear army of the Qingluan Army. It was elite, but it lacked some experience and training. Its appearance was good, and they could fight and withstand attacks in formation during the day, but they still collapsed in the face of such complex and unexpected attacks at night.

The collapse was a foregone conclusion;

When the Pillar of State in the city led his army to break out during the attack on Dongshan Fort, the soldiers under Zheng Boye's command almost collapsed as well.

Even if the soldiers shed their humanity and turned into beasts………

They are still beasts, and not cold machines, are they?

Therefore,

Next, it depends on whether Qu Peiluo, the young master of the Qu clan, can forcibly stabilize the situation and push back the disadvantage, just like Zheng Boye did in the past when the collapse has appeared!

However,

He has one disadvantage, that is, he is in the dark.

And Zheng Boye was in the daytime, with a chariot, flags, and golden armor, which the soldiers could see.

Sneak,

Fast charge,

Engage the enemy,

Break the formation,

Irresistible!

Zheng Boye was riding on his horse. Beside him were Si Niang, A Ming, and the Sword Saint, plus ten guards. This was all the protection Zheng Boye had at this time.

But unless a Chu general suddenly emerged in this dark night and led five hundred or more soldiers to surround Zheng Boye, there should be no problem with Zheng Boye's safety.

At present, the only problem is that the speed of advance is too fast, which leads to Zheng Boye having to speed up while riding his horse forward, but at the same time, he is worried that he will deviate from the battlefield.

The reason is that the effect of the night attack is too good, so good that it exceeded Zheng Boye's expectations.

In this situation, you don't even need to issue any more orders. The soldiers will kill all the way to the northeast, to the Qingtan shore, and stop only when they can't swim past.

As long as this penetration is successful, then the central force of the Qingluan Army will be completely defeated.

While Zheng Boye was spurring his horse, he said to the Sword Saint beside him;

"Actually, I've never liked the idea of ​​a destined enemy. When you are very good, someone will always set up a target for you and force you to be equal.

For example, the four great swordsmen on your side, and on my side, weren't the so-called four new generation generals popular the year before last?"

Even Qu Peiluo, there are many folk stories about his "lying in wait and biding his time." First, the people have always had a fondness for pairing people up. This is not only reflected in marriage, but in a broad sense, everyone does not like pure excellence;

Furthermore, Qu Peiluo, as the eldest son of the Qu clan, has the Qu clan's resources behind him. Combined with the situation between Yan and Chu, which is like fire and water, the chances of the two meeting on the battlefield in the future will definitely not be small, so busybodies will naturally be willing to spend more effort on this matter.

You snatch someone's wife, and he takes revenge. This kind of story is interesting, has ups and downs, and is worth watching;

Of course, the people of Yan and the people of other countries have different emotional inclinations towards this kind of story, but everyone's mentality of watching the excitement and listening to stories is the same.

"Existence is reasonable." The Sword Saint said, "Anyone who can stand in that position must have some skill."

"Can Baili Jian compare to you? Can the sword maker compare to you? Can Li Liangshen, who has been in the army for so long that his sword is rusting, compare to you?

Who is your lifelong enemy?

Do you really think that two people standing in place and scolding each other for a lifetime is a lifelong enemy?"

"You're about to win the battle, so everything you say is right." The Sword Saint said.

"That's no fun. You have to praise me."

"Why?"

"Because I'm about to win the battle, and I'm very happy. As a friend, you have to let me be happy for a while."

"But Gou Moli has been commanding this battle from beginning to end."

"When you kill someone, will people say that Long Yuan killed him and that it has nothing to do with you, Yu Huaping?"

"That's true."

"Right?"

"So, congratulations to Zheng Boye for planning and making new achievements."

"It doesn't matter whether it's a new achievement or not. I have enough achievements. This time I entered Chu, and after burning Jingcheng, I have already achieved great success. What I'm doing now is just icing on the cake."

Following a leader who is willing to promote you without limits has this advantage,

Your efforts have already been calculated, and the rewards you can get have also been calculated, truly and fairly distributing according to work;

Even,

You can still have the leisure to do some things that you don't have to do.

Like watering flowers,

Like raising fish,

Like brewing tea,

Like kicking the eldest son of the Qu family, who has clearly never offended you but whom you owe a lot to, to the ground again!

This battle could have been avoided. It would have been safe to retreat into the Daze and wait for the Jingnan King's iron cavalry to pick them up, but now that this battle has been fought,

Well,

Then I can continue to live leisurely in the capital of Chu for a while, without having to rush to wallow in the mud of the Daze.

"Hmm, why does it feel a bit blocked up ahead?"

Although the visibility here is very limited, judging from the speed of the Yan soldiers around him and the sound of fighting ahead, they should have finally encountered real organized resistance from the Chu army.

"A Li!"

Zheng Boye shouted directly,

"Break them down for me!"

Immediately,

A loud roar came from the front:

"Ula!"

A group of soldiers shouted together:

"Ula!"

"Ula!"

A man wearing heavy armor as tall as an iron tower, like a wild bull, waved a giant axe and charged forward.

If it were during the day, when the Chu army was in formation, if Fan Li charged over like this, he would soon be blocked by spears and then subdued or killed, but now it was night. Although the Chu people had formed organized resistance here, it was still far from being a real formation. It was nothing more than a group organized by the prestige of a certain general, who happened to encounter the moment when the Yan army's round of charge had just finished and new strength had not yet been gathered, and was able to block it for a moment.

Fan Li led the soldiers around him to charge almost fearlessly, smashing open a gap in the front of the Chu people. Under the cover of darkness, as long as the Chu people were divided, the Chu people's resistance would immediately weaken to the extreme. When the Yan soldiers in the rear followed up, the Chu people's wave of interception was completely broken down. The momentum of rolling up the pearl curtain continued to rise after being blocked for a while.

The Yan soldiers were tireless. Moreover, their physical strength was much better than that of the Chu people who had just arrived by boat and had been tossing around all day.

These days, there is no such thing as a marine corps. Infantry is infantry. The Chu Navy is strong and numerous, and the Yan Navy, which is just starting out, is completely incomparable to them;

But it is impossible for the Chu soldiers to just play a training exercise, taking a boat from here to there and pulling it around in their own country, especially this new Qingluan Army, which is mainly composed of the rear army of the Qingluan Army. Many of them have not actually experienced a long journey by boat.

On the other hand, after capturing Jingcheng, the Yan army drifted south all the way, and rested for many days under Juyang City. Except for the scouts who were very busy, the main force actually watched the Great Chu "Emperor" and their Boye send each other food every day, performing a family-friendly show.

Most importantly,

Zheng Boye's army was pieced together from elites. If there were no warhorses during joint operations, there might be some unfamiliarity in the cooperation, but at night, everyone swung their arms and rushed forward, perfectly demonstrating the advantage of the Yan soldiers' strong individual quality.

When all is said and done,

Except that there are not as many people as the Chu people,

In other aspects, one counts as one, the Yan people have the advantage. Finally, adding a sudden attack with a heart, it is not strange that the Chu army collapsed. It would be strange if they did not collapse.

Guo Dong and Xu An are always together, sleeping in the same tent and eating from the same pot. At this time of the charge, it is the same.

Of course, they are no longer auxiliary soldiers who only know how to hold large shields. In this charge with everyone's heart united, they can't slack off.

All the Yan soldiers knew very well that there were more Chu people than them. If this round of charge did not break through the Chu people, they would be surrounded by several times as many Chu people.

Guo Dong carried his shield and charged forward, knocking down one after another. Xu An held his knife and slashed whenever he had the chance. The two cooperated very well. There were few torches in the dark night, and the visibility was not high, but the tacit understanding of the two eating and sleeping together for half a year made them able to sense each other's movements even with their eyes closed.

"Bang!"

Guo Dong was knocked to the ground by a Chu man. Xu An went up and killed the Chu man with one knife. After reaching out to pull Guo Dong up, he jumped directly and pressed down on a Chu man in front of him. Guo Dong came up and, without saying a word, raised his shield and smashed it down on the Chu man's head.

Zheng Boye's Xuehai Army has a very high armor-wearing rate, no less than the Jingnan Army and the Zhenbei Army. In addition, after successively capturing Yangshan Village and then breaking Dongshan Fort, they captured a large number of Chu armors. The elites of each unit who were pieced together and selected were all wearing excellent armor. Therefore, in terms of excellent armor, the Yan army was also much higher than the Chu army on the opposite side.

After all, more than 40,000 of the main force of the Qingluan Army were buried in Yupancheng, and the Yan people would not send their armor back. Even if the Qu family had a stock, it was impossible for them to have so much stock. It would not be so fast to re-forge it. Therefore, the Yan army can now completely use their equipment advantage to bully the Chu people.

This kind of trick of directly throwing one's body against the opposite side's blade can not only be used by Fan Li. Generally speaking, if you don't give the opposite side enough distance to swing the blade and exert force, at close range, unless the other party is very lucky and directly stabs the blade into the gap in your armor, otherwise, it is likely that you can only helplessly knock a few times on your armor with the blade.

"Kill!!!!!!!"

Guo Dong continued to charge forward, and Xu An still followed beside him, half a step behind.

In fact, after killing until their eyes were red, swinging their knives at someone has almost become an instinct. Fortunately, the Yan army is basically charging to the north, so they don't have to try their best to distinguish between friends and enemies like the Chu army.

Moreover, the momentum of the Chu people's resistance is clearly weakening, and even that kind of scene has appeared.

That is, Guo Dong and Xu An surpassed the people who were also running in the same direction in front of them while charging. At first, they thought they were friendly troops charging north together, but later Xu An was sharp-eyed and directly greeted them with a knife. Only after chopping did Guo Dong realize that it was a Chu man.

"Damn it, this Chu slave is actually rushing with us!"

Is this an enemy or a friend?

Faced with the ferocious Yan army, the collapsing Chu people suddenly discovered when running backwards that it was better to face the comrades who were blocking them in the north than to turn around and face the terrifying Yan army.

Everyone charges together, everyone runs together, and rushes to the north together;

The Yan people are running, and the Chu people are also running. Under the cover of night, except for the Chu people who were defeated on both wings and were still confused, the mainstream in the central army position was to go north together.

A Ming closely followed his lord, guarding against hidden arrows, but this battle was indeed too easy.

However, A Ming also knew that it was not to say that the young master of the Qu clan, whose wife was snatched by his lord, was a waste. In fact, his performance in deploying troops today could definitely be called a "Zhao Kuo."

But he really met a king as soon as he debuted, just like Zhao Kuo.

With the Barbarian King's strategy and control over the battlefield, it was really a bit bullying to deal with a Qu Peiluo.

A Ming knew that this was why his lord had kept the Barbarian King and slowly subdued him, and was reluctant to kill him.

The Barbarian King is not as proficient as the Blind Man in bewitching people; he is not as good as Liang Cheng in commanding operations;

But it is very practical that he combines the two.

A Ming couldn't help but commit a little taboo and think in his heart that if his lord was commanding the battle today, it might not have been so easy.

His lord can fight now, and he can be called truly excellent. After all, a famous teacher produces excellent students, but it is impossible to play war as an art like the Barbarian King.

Just then,

An arrow shot over,

A Ming dodged to the side, took an arrow with his shoulder, and then continued to think about his own thoughts as if nothing had happened.

Zheng Boye, on the other hand, said to the Sword Saint:

"Don't you want to go to the front and play a few rounds?"

The Sword Saint was silent.

His task is to protect Zheng Fan, to prevent accidents on the battlefield, or to prevent Zheng Fan, the master, from being beheaded by the enemy's strongmen when he is in the military camp.

As for going down to the soldiers' nests to fight, he really doesn't have much interest.

There is no other reason,

It's demeaning.

And Zheng Boye is best at stroking the hair of people like the Sword Saint.

Not only can he smooth it out, but he can also smooth it out for him. Finally, he can also apply oil to make the hair shine.

Zheng Boye raised one finger,

Said:

"If you take action tonight, the people under my rule will be exempted from Ding Fu (poll tax) for one year after the war."

Ding Fu (poll tax) is a tax levied on the head. As the name suggests, it is a tax levied on the basis of population.

The Sword Saint looked at Zheng Fan with some surprise and said:

"Really?"

"Really."

Zheng Boye took back that one finger,

Said;

"If you can help me catch my good brother surnamed Qu among these defeated soldiers,

Ding Fu (poll tax),

Will never be collected again in my rule."

The Sword Saint's eyes narrowed slightly and said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Yu Huaping is still Yu Huaping. He was coaxed because he was willing to be coaxed, not because he was really coaxed.

"In the future, when governing the place, I plan to apportion the Ding Fu (poll tax) into the land tax, encourage population growth, and never increase the tax."

"Is this something you have thought about for a long time?"

"Yes."

Zheng Boye generously admitted,

At the same time, he said:

"Whether you draw your sword or not, it will be arranged like this."

"Then why should I draw my sword?"

"What do you think?" Zheng Boye asked rhetorically.

The Sword Saint nodded and said, "This strategy deserves a sword."

After saying that,

Long Yuan flew out,

The Sword Saint fell off his horse.

Zheng Boye shouted:

"San'er, lead the way for the Sword Saint!"

"Yes, my lord!"

San'er led his gang and rushed north with the Sword Saint.

Zheng Boye then reached out to A Ming beside him,

Urged:

"Quick, get closer."

Si Niang rode forward, but Zheng Boye stopped her with his hand and said:

"No matter what, I can't let you block for me, I have A Ming."

"……" A Ming.

"Has the lord forgotten that if something happens to you, we may all die violently?"

"That's what they say, but I always have to save some face."

Zheng Boye is in a good mood today,

To be precise,

He is a little swollen.

Then,

Soon,

His back felt a chill.

In the direction that Xue San led the Sword Saint to break through, which was probably only fifty zhang away from Zheng Boye, suddenly came a roar and a whistling sound of sword energy.

A Ming immediately rode his horse diagonally to block Zheng Boye.

Si Niang slapped the horse's back with one palm and fell directly in front of Zheng Boye, sitting on Zheng Boye's horse.

Zheng Boye said helplessly;

"Naughty."

Si Niang then said:

"My lord, that is the Chu army sent to behead you."

"I know." Then, Zheng Boye smiled again and said: "So, it is true that there is a blessing for thinking about the common people of the world, look."

In the chaos of war,

Capturing flags and killing generals is often the fastest way to determine the pattern of the battlefield.

In the battle of Dongshan Fort in the past, the Great Chu Pillar of State also attacked Zheng Boye's chariot, wanting to use this as an opportunity to turn the tables, which was a bold gamble to turn defeat into victory!

At present, this Chu army has been defeated. It is reasonable to go against the tide with a small elite and try to make a beheading tactic.

Although I don't know how they hid and came over, and I don't know how they did it so quietly and accurately,

But,

How should I say,

In this world, you have your plans, and I have my ways to counter them. The Qu family, as a great Chu noble family, naturally has some heritage. The ones who are carrying out this beheading adventure must be the real elites who are following Qu Peiluo.

Fortunately,

The Sword Saint also set off earlier,

Fortunately,

Coincidentally, the two sides actually met.

If these people were allowed to continue to close the distance by twenty or thirty zhang, then even if Zheng Boye had A Ming and the Sword Saint by his side and the magic pill in his chest, there would still be a possibility of accidents.

"My lord, avoid it?" A Ming said.

Zheng Boye put one arm around Si Niang's waist,

Although he was still a little scared in his heart,

He still smiled and said;

"Avoid what, it's just a dog jumping over the wall. If we put out this one, this Chu army will never be able to make any waves again."

After smiling and finishing speaking,

Zheng Boye's hand still gently pinched Si Niang's waist,

It's a pity that Si Niang is wearing armor, and the touch is slightly cool and hard, but it doesn't prevent Zheng Boye from imagining the familiar delicacy and softness.

Then,

Zheng Boye looked up at the sky,

Said:

"Settle everything here before dawn, don't delay this Boye from inviting that good brother surnamed Qu to eat breakfast."

………

On the other side,

Xue San had just led a group of people into the army tide, and immediately found something wrong.

Who is he,

An assassin,

And an assassin who once stood at the peak,

In an instant,

A strong assassin aura that almost suffocated him came over him.

In his eyes, he immediately saw a group of people who were actually advancing against the tide. Many Yan soldiers were directly killed by them with weapons such as daggers.

The reason is that the main force of the Yan army is pouncing and killing in the front. Because the Chu people were defeated too badly, it caused the Yan army's vanguard to become somewhat detached from Zheng Boye.

So, in other words, this group of assassins should have detoured from the outside, and then selected this location to infiltrate.

Xue San's hair immediately stood on end,

Who would have thought,

When the situation was all good, the crisis was actually so close to his lord?

After all, this is indeed a battlefield. There are countless possibilities. Even the so-called true strongmen can fall at will on the battlefield. No one is absolutely safe.

"The Chu army is attacking, kill!"

Xue San immediately shouted, and he himself rushed forward, throwing a dagger and immediately connecting his sleeve crossbow, shooting a Chu assassin.

But when Xue San was preparing to continue forward,

A man wearing silver armor suddenly appeared in the assassin group. Xue San saw at a glance that this silver-armored man was the key, and the assassins nearby were actually helping him hide his identity so that he could approach his lord!

"Bang!"

The other party slashed over with a knife,

Xue San immediately admitted defeat and avoided it.

And a subordinate who was originally charging forward with Xue San raised his knife to block, but his knife was directly cut off, and a blood line went directly from his forehead to the bottom, and he died completely.

Qu Mingxuan let out a low roar. He had already seen the abnormality ahead. If nothing unexpected, it should be where the Yan army generals were located, that is, where the Great Yan Pingye Boye was located!

"Kill!"

Qu Mingxuan's side, a group of Chu assassins also drew their weapons and charged over.

After avoiding the knife and falling to the ground, Xue San immediately shouted at the white-clothed man:

"He must be killed quickly, otherwise the situation will be bad!"

Qu Mingxuan ignored Xue San on the ground, but rushed forward like a tiger.

Unexpectedly,

A sword cry came,

Qu Mingxuan's heart suddenly became alert, and he raised his knife to resist.

The knives and swords collided,

Qu Mingxuan's body shook violently, and he took several steps back;

The Sword Saint stood proudly, Long Yuan wandering in front of him.

"Jing Country Sword Saint?"

Qu Mingxuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand,

With just one sword,

With just one exchange of blows,

He knew clearly,

He was definitely not a match for the Sword Saint in front of him.

He is at the peak of the fourth rank martial artist, and has not yet entered the third rank. Even if he is now a third rank martial artist, if he fights alone, it is estimated that he is not a match for this swordsman.

It is recognized in the world,

Among the same rank, the swordsman is the strongest.

Although the martial artist's physique is strong, it is really not suitable for this kind of duel.

Perhaps,

Only the Great Yan Marquis of the South can truly defeat the Sword Saint with the cultivation of a martial artist.

But that Marquis of the South,

There is only one!

"I didn't expect that the dignified Sword Saint of Jin would actually…………"

Before Qu Mingxuan could finish his words,

The Sword Saint frowned,

Spit out a mouthful of tongue blood and directly sprayed it on Long Yuan's sword in front of him. Long Yuan immediately released a blood light.

Then,

The Sword Saint pointed forward,

Long Yuan rushed out like a crimson lightning.

The speed was too fast,

The offensive was too fierce,

Qu Mingxuan was stunned,

His opening remarks were not finished,

He originally wanted to adjust his Qi and blood a little more,

Regardless of success or failure,

He should say a few more words,

At least,

After a few more moves,

Either being defeated by this Jin Country Sword Saint or dying in the chaos of the army, he could accept it;

But,

This Jin Country Sword Saint directly sacrificed his origin as soon as he came up, without saying any nonsense!

Qu Mingxuan reached out and grabbed a fellow assassin next to him, pushing him in front of him.

Long Yuan directly pierced through his body,

Qu Mingxuan raised his knife again,

The Qi and blood of his whole body condensed in the blade.

"Bang!"

The knives and swords collided!

Long Yuan bounced back and flew back to the Sword Saint, while the knife in Qu Mingxuan's hand shattered into several pieces.

There were no injuries on his body,

But the terrifying sword energy had already penetrated into his body, and began to frantically strangle the Qi and blood in his body. For a time, Qu Mingxuan only felt his whole body paralyzed, and he completely lost control of his body. His body could not help but fall backwards.

Flying sword away,

Taking people's lives,

The other party is still a martial artist master,

The Sword Saint really can't kill with one sword;

At least,

Without absolute certainty.

The martial artist's physique is really too strong, and it still needs to be slowly cut down according to the conventional procedure.

But this time, the Sword Saint directly used the most fierce sword, not choosing to break the defense and kill, but used the sword to control the Qi, and used his own sword energy to forcibly offset the Qi and blood on the other party. The other party's body may not leave any injuries, but he will not be able to mobilize any Qi and blood for a period of time.

Xue San was quick-witted, to be precise, as A Ming said, Xue San has a very strong talent in grabbing heads.

When the other assassins were besieged by the Yan soldiers and could not take care of him,

Xue San had already rushed in front of Qu Mingxuan, and a poisoned dagger directly pierced into his neck.

"Call!"

The head harvesting is complete!

Qu Mingxuan, who was lying on the ground, widened his eyes. He died quite aggrieved.

Looking back on his first half of his life, he had been practicing, for himself, for his mother. This time, he accompanied Qu Peiluo out of the mountain, but also to prove his true value to the family in order to determine that he could re-enter the sect with the identity of a collateral.

In this way, his children, although not as noble as Qu Peiluo's line, would not be considered a collateral, and could live as the main sect.

But,

He just... ended like this?

And the Sword Saint himself,

After consuming a part of his origin,

He was already sitting cross-legged, no longer taking action, but adjusting his breath.

From appearance,

To the end,

He only sent out one sword.

One is because Xue San shouted to be fast,

So the Sword Saint gave the Chu martial artist a fast one;

The second is because of,

The familiar opening remarks:

"I didn't expect that the dignified Sword Saint of Jin would actually…………"
