Chapter 54: Chapter 54: One Sword Breaks a Thousand Armors
Translator: 549690339
Several leaders were killed in the blink of an eye.
The army waiting in strict formation suddenly panicked.
“Get lost!” Jiang Ming shouted angrily, a monstrous Killing Qi burst forth, sweeping across the vast space, causing thousands of soldiers to instantly fall into chaos, many of whom turned around and ran.
This triggered a chain reaction, as they all began to flee.
“They’re too useless!” Lu Yuan exclaimed in astonishment, “Shouldn’t they be enraged and rush towards us?”
“The City Defense Camp has long been severely corroded with very little combat power. Moreover, most of them have probably heard tales of Brother Jiang’s terror, so they’ve been trembling in fear. Now they see Brother Jiang killing their leaders with a flick of his fingers. What else can they do? They don’t have much loyalty left.” Constable Jin’s expression was solemn as he sighed, “The entire nation is like this, and it’s difficult to turn the tide now. Otherwise…”
Otherwise, even the strongest sect forces wouldn’t dare to openly confront the Court.
Far away, in an open area.
A thousand heavily-armored Black Flag soldiers were stationed here. As soon as Jiang Ming and the others descended the mountain, they heard the news. Now they all mounted their horses, holding heavy blades in their hands.
“Commander, Jiang Ming has successively killed seven Great Grandmasters and single-handedly slaughtered a sect with a thousand-year history like the Dalin Temple. Can our little army really kill him?”
“People from the world of martial arts are just a motley crew; they can’t contend with our military formation, let alone heavy cavalry! Don’t worry, our thousand soldiers stand as one, all wearing heavy armor. Can his Sword Qi really penetrate that? If he can break through one, ten, or a hundred of us, can he break through a thousand? If so, he’s not human, he’s a god.”
“But…”
“There’s no but! Great Grandmaster? Today, let the people witness the might of our Black Flag Army and the majesty of the Court. Moreover, don’t forget that there are numerous unparalleled Cultivation Skills and endless treasures in the Dalin Temple. Once Jiang Ming is killed, we will have accomplished a great feat.”
At this moment, the City Defense Camp’s soldiers were seen retreating towards them.
“Defeated? So quickly?” General Chang’s face changed, and he shouted, “Those who retreat will die!”
“Those who retreat will die!”
A thousand Black Flag soldiers shouted in unison, their voices booming, especially when it echoed between the mountains, it was even more resounding, causing the City Defense Camp’s soldiers to hesitate, almost breaking their courage.
Fortunately, this area was spacious enough.
With no route to the front and no way to retreat, they would have to detour from the sides.
The crowd swiftly dispersed in the blink of an eye.
“Commander, should we intercept them and make them block Jiang Ming’s path?”
“Once their morale is broken, driving them back will be of little use, and it might even hinder our formation when we launch an attack.”
As the crowd dispersed, the figures of Jiang Ming and the others appeared in front.
“Prepare!” General Chang raised his long sword and swiped it downwards, “Charge! Kill them all!”
Boom, boom, boom…
The warhorses charged, and the earth shook.
A thousand heavily-armored cavalry marched forward like a mighty mountain, far more terrifying than five thousand City Defense Camp soldiers.
Jiang Ming stopped suddenly.
The oncoming Killing Qi made his heart and mind tighten slightly.
“Killing Qi, murderous intent, and Blood Qi are tightly integrated through long-term training, forming a unified torrent like a surging river, creating an unstoppable momentum that can destroy anything.”
“This is the power of the military formation!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes were bright, and his heart was moved. The Slaughter Sword Intent burst forth, originally at the Great Success realm, but at this moment, it advanced further, leaping up and stepping into the realm of Perfection.
The Sword Intent pierced the sky, shaking the mountains.
The might of one person was not weaker than that of a thousand soldiers.
At the same time, as the Sword Intent reached Perfection, his body, will, soul, and others all experienced the baptism of Heaven and Earth’s Dao Resonance, becoming even stronger and unleashing explosive potential. Within his Dantian, his Qi surged violently, as if attempting to liquefy, but at the critical moment, it could not break the shackles.
Jiang Ming realized that it was the limitation of Heaven and Earth, and the restriction of his current realm.
He suddenly understood that if he could reach the realm of Perfection, he could easily liquefy his Qi and directly step into the Fourth Realm of Martial Arts.
Once he returns to the Main World, he will surely break through.
“You have helped me improve a little, and 1 will use this improvement to help you too!” Jiang Ming whispered, his feet lightly moving, and he soared into the air. A gentle force of wind wrapped around his body, allowing him to levitate briefly.
“Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!”
As the Heaven Splitting Sword was drawn, the dense Killing Qi around Jiang Ming grew even stronger. The soaring Sword Qi directly tore through the clouds above, and as Sword Intention filled the air, and Primal Qi trembled, numerous Sword Qi appeared around him.
Each strand of Sword Qi was infused with a hint of Slaughter Sword Intent.
The scene caused the expressions of the 1000 Black Flag Army to change, their speed suddenly decreased.
The warhorses all neighed in unison.
General Chang’s expression finally changed, “How could he possibly reach this extent?”
A feeling of horror rose in his heart.
“Die!”
Jiang Ming let out a roar that shook the Nine Heavens. The Sword Qi spewed out from the Heaven Splitting Sword reached a hundred zhang in length, making it truly like a colossal sword reaching the heavens, causing those who saw it to feel their blood run cold and their souls tremble.
As the sword light fell, countless Sword Qi landed like raindrops, yet even more urgent and faster.
Boom…
In the next moment, the sky roared, the earth cracked open, human figures were sent flying, flesh and blood exploded, accompanied by screams, a scene like purgatory appeared ahead.
With just one slash, the front was divided into two halves, no one knew how many Black Flag Army soldiers were slaughtered.
The Sword Qi fell like rain, easily tearing through the armor and drilling into their bodies, killing them instantly.
The screams came quickly, and they left even faster.
Even the neighing of warhorses gradually disappeared.
As the dust cleared, the view ahead was filled with broken bodies, not a single intact body left, even General Chang was lying in a pool of blood.
“One sword wiped out the entire army, how… how could you possibly be this strong?” General Chang still wasn’t dead, struggling to prop himself up with one hand, looking at Jiang Ming on the ground, his excitement-filled questions also carried bewilderment.
If everyone were this strong, what use would there be for an army?
Not waiting for an answer, his arm went limp, and he fell back down, no longer making a sound.
Jiang Ming glanced over, the burst of this slash did not kill everyone. There were still dozens of people who survived, but they were also severely injured.
“Let’s go!” He called out and swiftly moved forward by tapping his toes on the ground.
Amazed, Lu Yuan shuddered, looking at the carnage ahead, he felt a chill, and after a long time, he said, “Brother Jiang’s strength has exceeded the scope of a Great Grandmaster, surpassed the limit of the mortal world.”
“Like a god!” constable Jin’s throat went dry.
They all knew Jiang Ming was very strong, so strong that he was inhuman, but facing 1000 heavily-armored Black Flag Army soldiers, even if he could cope with them, it should have taken at least half a day of battle.
But the result was just one slash!
It was like an unreal dream.
“Maybe he really can slaughter his way through the Imperial Capital’s 200,000-strong army!” Lu Yuan’s eyes suddenly brightened, “I’m looking forward to it!”
“If one person can overpower a nation…” Jin had a strange expression, unable to tell if it was sadness or excitement, “How should we, as people of Great Yan, manage ourselves?”
Lu Yuan’s expression stiffened, then he said softly, “Just let him become Guardian God of Great Yan!”
“That’s a good idea!” constable Jin’s eyes lit up, and he quickly moved forward.
“Indeed a good method!” Lu Yuan couldn’t help but scratch his head and gave himself a thumbs up, “I’m really a clever one!”
“But once the news spreads, I’m afraid this world…” Shaking his head, he also followed closely.
It doesn’t matter.
After all, I’m fed and not starving..
