Chapter 338: Chapter 70: Four Spirits, Eight Generals, Heart-Burning Dao Seed
Chen Ping pierced Jiang Wuji with a sword.
His heart remained unperturbed.
In his eyes, as long as it’s an enemy, whether it’s a Grandmaster or an ordinary soldier, there’s not much difference.
The best enemy is a dead enemy.
The only difference is that powerful enemies, to prevent them from returning, should be slain as soon as possible, to avoid causing significant damage to his troops in future battles.
Therefore, he thrust his sword, without looking at Jiang Wuji’s headless corpse, his figure leaped back like a cloud, stirring a violent wind as his Sword Intent swept like a tidal wave, directly targeting Jiang Yuntong.
This second son of the Jiang family did not escape.
Earlier, he was affected by the aftermath of Chen Ping’s clash with Jiang Wuji, being flung back and slightly injured, it wasn’t much.
However, witnessing his seemingly divine and strong father being openly fought and killed by Chen Ping, in his grief, he developed a few inches of resolve to fight to the death.
He stood straight on one leg, his eyes reddened, shouting fiercely.
Military Qi gathered like tide on his body, he brandished the long black halberd in his hand, swinging it to slash against Chen Ping’s momentum.
The halberd’s blade cut out an arc-shaped light blade, the air within ten feet exploded with crackling sounds like countless firecrackers simultaneous in noise.
"Slay the Dragon."
This guy’s mind was already muddled.
Perhaps since the Jiang family raised their army, they had never experienced such a defeat, never encountered particularly strong enemies.
With Qi and Blood surging to the top, he thought of nothing, not considering whether the Cyan Wood Dragon Locking Array could trap the enemy.
He just gathered the entire array’s power in a single strike...
As the halberd descended, the force was magnificent, even Chen Ping couldn’t help but praise it.
This world’s military arrays indeed have unique features, they can battle across levels, can gather crowds against enemies, truly combining the strength of all soldiers in the array to achieve feats that leaders cannot accomplish.
From a certain perspective.
Jiang Yuandong’s halberd blade’s profound light posed a threat to Chen Ping even above Jiang Wuji.
Because, this guy was unafraid of injury, recovering strength extremely fast.
As long as his subordinate army still had fighting spirit and strength, he was like a perpetual motion machine, every move a lethal strike.
Chen Ping blocked horizontally with his sword.
Before him rose a solid and thick iron wall.
Amidst the enormous thunderous sound, as blade light flickered, his figure slightly retreated, dissolving the immense force from the opponent’s military array, his figure merged into the air, leaving behind a lifelike afterimage.
Reaching the Grandmaster Realm, the understanding of space, mastery over Vitality, and especially manipulation of Divine Will, suddenly leap to another level.
Now, as he performs the Seven Stars Step, it’s no longer mechanically dragging out countless afterimages, but following the changes of his will, the clones and shadows come to life.
Even the Clear Wind Shadowless Swordsmanship, though having little effect at a high level, has now become mysterious and unpredictable.
When he re-entered the array, blending into the wind, with a step spanning ten feet, reaching behind Jiang Yuandong. This late-stage Innate Jiang family’s tiger, still crazily absorbed the Qi and Blood power of three thousand elite soldiers, once again slashed forward.
"Sss..."
A cold gleam traversed past.
Jiang Yuandong’s head flew into the air.
A pair of eyes turned from crimson to bewildered, then to gray defeat.
In his ears, it seemed a voice was heard: "A general’s greatest taboo is impulsiveness..."
Chen Ping hung the Black Dragon Sword, looked coldly at Jiang Yuandong’s headless corpse slowly falling, shaking his head.
If this man’s right leg was still intact, capable of invoking the array’s operation, instead of standing still to output, he might contend with him for several moves, maneuver for a period.
Unfortunately, since Jiang Wuji’s death, he had been blinded by rage, turning a trapping array into a killing array, confronting head-on, as if not dying fast enough.
"Of course, the force was still somewhat lacking. If this cavalry had ten thousand men, all of this soldier quality, his attacking power would be above mine.
Falling into the array to slaughter, it would be like sinking into a mire, quite troublesome, unless escaping early, otherwise, even an average Grandmaster might be worn down to exhaustion..."
Thinking of the East Royal Lord, reputed to have thirty thousand elite soldiers under his command.
Chen Ping furrowed his brows slightly in secret.
Thirty thousand, even if thirty thousand pigs, it would bless you with an aching hand.
Not to mention this world also has the troublesome as hell military array Qi gathering.
"However, no one says it has to be face-to-face combat, soldier against soldier, general against general, lurking, assassination, setting up ambushes.
As long as the main general is defeated, numbers don’t matter anymore..."
Of course, the best way is still to make your own army grow stronger.
This is no Jianghu competition, but a world dispute, those with strong soldiers and horses become king, that’s all.
Thoughts flashing in his mind.
Chen Ping’s hands didn’t slow down.
He didn’t ride a horse either, his figure swept like a gale, charging in this open field.
One sword fell, both man and horse shattered, after killing hundreds, Chen Ping suddenly realized: "Why am I killing horses? Aren’t these my own resources?"
He laughed and shook his head, his sword technique turned finer, this time, like a clear breeze blowing over the battlefield, shadows flickering as though cutting grass.
"Run, quickly run, the general is dead..."
"Evil ghost, that’s an evil ghost, can’t be beaten."
"I surrender, I surrender."
"Woo woo..."
Amidst cries and howls, some fled madly, some kneeled to surrender, some lost their mind.
After Jiang Yuandong, the main general, died, the array instantly broke, three thousand elite cavalry, over five or six hundred were killed, four or five hundred surrendered.
