Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 447: Mantis Catching Cicada + Killing Intent

Three drum beats were heard outside the fort.

About to launch a general attack.

"Out of town."

Zhou Ping'an let out a long shout, and the general drums on the fort wall roared.

The fort gate opened, the drawbridge dropped, and five thousand cavalry formed a long snake formation and rushed out.

Behind him were ten thousand infantrymen, following slowly.

Yan Bing and Fang Sheng were riding on tall horses, each with a child tied behind them.

To them, such a heavy object was nothing. Instead, they left it in the castle as they were worried that Su Pengju, a disciple of the Yunshui Sect, might sneak up on them and make a sneak attack. So it would be safer to keep it with them.

As for Zhou Ping'an, he was wearing Ming Guang armor and a cloak at this time. As the spearhead, he slowed down his horse and moved forward slowly.

There was neither confrontation nor shouting.

The five thousand cavalrymen in the castle had just crossed the suspension bridge when the eight thousand cavalrymen on the opposite side had already stirred up a strong wind, slowly accelerated with a rumbling sound, and began to sprint.

The leading general raised the Qinglong Halberd high, roared towards the sky, and blood flames shot up into the sky.

At the same time, torrents of blood rose from the eight thousand cavalrymen and fifty thousand infantrymen behind him, converging on him like waves.

From a distance, one could see that the body of the Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi, riding on the back of a huge horse, had suddenly grown three times larger, his muscles were knotted, and his energy was boiling.

"This man can move the formation as easily as moving his fingers. He can also gather the energy and blood of tens of thousands of soldiers, increasing their life and strength. We should win by clever means, and it will be difficult to defeat him by force."

Seeing this overwhelming ferocity, Yan Bing, who was following closely on Zhou Ping'an's right, narrowed his eyes slightly.

She felt a deep pressure even before the fight started.

No wonder the sword-wielding monk and the Qingqiu fox were unwilling to form a formation to fight against the army.

The strength of a general with a formation and a general without a formation is completely different. With the ultimate blessing, the combat power is likely to increase several times.

No one knows how powerful the Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi will become with the unity of 58,000 soldiers.
If they were fighting one-on-one under normal circumstances, they would still have the confidence to fight this person and determine who was superior. But in this situation, to fight with the opponent again would undoubtedly be courting death.

This is also the reason why Zhou Ping'an tried every means to gain command of all the soldiers.

He had already discovered it when he was in Qingyang City.

In this world, the formations set up by the generals have a strange power.

I had already experienced this when I fought against Qingyang County Lieutenant Tian Shouyi.

During the assassination in the dark night, Tian Shouyi only led 300 personal soldiers and increased his strength by nearly 30%. He was able to gather the energy and blood of all the soldiers, and both their strength and speed were increased to a certain level.

Moreover, as long as you set up the battle formation and command effectively, the more soldiers you have under your command, the greater the benefits you will gain.

This is fundamentally different from modern society.

I don't know, where exactly is the difference?
Zhou Ping'an had a rough guess, and it all came down to the inspiration of heaven and earth.

The more spiritual you are, the more you can reach the extraordinary, the higher the upper limit, and the more it is reflected in all aspects of life.

With Zhou Ping'an's knowledge, he is unable to analyze what the underlying logic is.

But it doesn't stop him from using it.

"Get into formation!"

Zhou Pingan raised his knife and shouted.

The extremely magical "tiger talisman" on his body has been activated.

An invisible yet tangible ripple spread behind him, affecting both cavalry and infantry.

Fang Sheng said nothing, following closely behind the horse, holding the sword tightly in his hand, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"coming."

Suddenly, she felt a wave sweeping through her, and her body suddenly became hot, with all her Qi and blood boiling at the same time.

The mental power also becomes extremely active and the state is extremely strange.

It seemed that at this moment, he was blessed by his master's secret treasure, the "Golden Patterned Armor".

The blessing of "Golden Pattern Armor" only enhances strength and speed, but will never increase spirit and reaction.

However, following behind "Senior Brother Zhou", even the soul level was greatly improved in this instant.

The last time she experienced this feeling, she thought it was an illusion.

This time I am extremely sure.

It was a magical power created by Senior Brother Zhou to boost morale.

With such magical powers in hand, it is no wonder that he dared to face an army of 58,000 with only 15,000 men without any worries.

Fang Sheng was shocked and turned around to look at the army behind him.

It was seen that the aura of both the infantry and the cavalry had increased significantly.

At the same time, everyone's fighting spirit was raised to the highest level.

The hesitation, fear, worry and other emotions that I could occasionally feel before have all disappeared, and what remains is only the strong murderous intent to fight to the death.

Not only Fang Sheng turned his head to look back.

Yan Bing couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

If the eyes can deceive us, external sensations may be illusions.

However, there is absolutely no other explanation for the changes in the body's internal conditions.

"I've really become stronger."

"The military formation is blessing me? It's blessing me too. What kind of great power is this?"

Looking at Zhou Ping'an again, her eyes seemed a little abnormal.

"Maybe, maybe, this time, I can really pass it."

"It's a pity for those two. If they can work together, they can also get blessings and their strength will increase greatly. There is no need to worry about not being able to defeat the enemy."

As she thought this in her heart, she turned her head to look at the figure whizzing towards her, and there was a hint of pity in her eyes that she herself did not notice.

Sometimes, choice is more important than brains and more important than hard work.

The silver-haired young man who came whistling and with shadows changing around him, actually didn't care about the scene of the two cavalrymen colliding, but opened his mouth to challenge him: "Li Nantian, I heard that your swordsmanship of the Chunyang Sect is good, so I came to learn from you. If you don't dare to fight, please kneel down and surrender, and call me grandpa."

"Fox demon, why do you have to say such dirty words to provoke me? If you want to fight, then fight. I just hope you will die before you regret it."

In the opposing army formation, a gray shadow shot up into the sky and reached mid-air. With the flash of sword light, it turned into a blazing sun.

The scorching sun scorched the entire sky, turning it into a bright golden red.

Known as Chunyang, the monks of this sect all follow the extremely yang, explosive and killing methods in their sword techniques and qi. They are best at slaying demons and monsters, and have a natural restraint against some evil and ghostly techniques.

Facing the challenge of the fox demon.

Li Nantian didn't think twice and went into battle with sword in hand, full of confidence.

The two cavalry units below were about to collide like a roaring tide.

In mid-air, two balls of light, one colorful and one golden-red, collided heavily with each other...

The colorful phantom light retreated slightly, and soon disappeared into the distance, and shouted, "Follow me if you dare."

"Is it just a little monster? How can I be afraid of you?"

Li Nantian seemed to have been provoked to the point of losing his mind, and his will to fight became even stronger. The sword light pulled out a long tail of flame, tearing through the air and emitting bursts of thunder, and he had already caught up.

"Have they neither received the blessing?"

Yan Bing stared in a daze at two beams of light whizzing away in the air.

At the foot of the distant mountains, bursts of roars were heard.

Knowing that this was the Qingqiu fox demon Qin Feng, he provoked Li Nantian over, and then prepared to join forces with the Changjing Island monk Jin Ling to encircle and kill the opponent.

This is the established plan.

However, even though Li Nantian knew it was a trap, he was not afraid at all. He just showed great confidence and was fearless.

It seems that they really have a chance to succeed.

It’s a pity that judging from the aura of the Qingqiu fox demon, it seems that its power has not been enhanced.

Zhou Pingan smiled and shook his head.

"Since they have not entered the battle, and have not acknowledged my position as the commander, even if they want to bless me, there is nothing they can do. I can only hope for the best."

The reason why I say that.

This is because Zhou Ping'an has already noticed that there is something slightly abnormal about the turbulence of the clouds in the void.

There seemed to be a vague and obscure aura chasing closely.

After killing Su Pengju last time, Zhou Ping'an acquired the top-level body movement skill Xiaoyaoyou. It can be said that he has been deeply immersed in this famous and powerful body movement skill.

Now he has broken through the entry level and reached a proficient level.

Therefore, Su Pengju, who was also practicing this body technique, had some response.

Although the opponent was hiding, he still couldn't see the direction or find the opponent's figure. After all, he was much stronger than the first time he met him.

This is actually a question of who comes first and who comes later.

Zhou Ping'an knew that if he used his body skills first and hid himself in the clouds, the same situation would occur if Su Pengju came to look for him.

In this way, the body movements of both parties are cancelled out, and neither can plot against the other or launch a sneak attack on the opponent.

This is great, as it means we are all on the same starting line.

Zhou Pingan was already very satisfied with being able to achieve this. At least he would not be forced into such an awkward situation by the other party like he was last time.

In the end, only Miss Fang Sheng could rely on her extreme burst to seize the opportunity to plot against the opponent.

Now, he could know that the disciple of Chunyang Sword Sect who appeared to be careless and took risks alone was actually not as careless as he appeared.

In secret, another Yunshui Sect disciple, Su Pengju, had already sneaked up.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

The two Qingqiu Fox Demons thought they had a good plan, but who will have the last laugh? That remains to be seen.

but.

Isn't this situation a good thing for me?

The two camps were separated by a distance of an arrow head, and crossbow arrows like raindrops were coming at them with a sharp whistling sound.

At the same time, our crossbowmen also drew their crossbows and shot arrows...

Zhou Ping'an swung the long sword in his hand lightly, discarded all unnecessary thoughts, and locked his mind on the Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi. At the same time, blood flames on his body rose several feet high, and both he and his horse turned into a ball of light and flames, rumbling straight forward.

Before the arrow got close, it was melted by the flame and turned into wisps of black ash that floated away.

When it comes to military command, qi and blood gather.

With the tiger talisman on him, Zhou Ping'an's amplification efficiency is only slightly higher than that of his opponent, but never lower than that of his opponent.

"kill."

A bloody gleam shot out from Wu Qi's eyes for several feet.

He exerted more strength under his crotch, and the green-maned horse's aura suddenly increased. Its four hooves moved like flying in the clouds, and its speed increased rapidly.

In an instant, he rushed over dozens of feet.

A green light shook the void, spinning and tearing the strong wind, turning into a green dragon shape, rumbling to Zhou Ping'an's chest.

He rode his horse and charged into the battle, just like the last time he encountered them.

The opponent's Canglong Xuan Gang and Qinglong Sha Qi merged into one.

It turned into an indestructible, bone-eating and soul-devouring brutal blow.

Compared to the last time, its strength is as strong as a mountain or an ocean, and has increased by more than a factor of two.

"Good halberd technique."

Zhou Ping'an swung his long sword in reverse and turned his wrist slightly, turning the cutting into the chopping. All the muscles and bones in his body clanged and exploded at the same time, like thunder in the dark night.

The starlight around him was like mist and smoke, and as his back rose and fell, there was also tremendous power, which destroyed each joint wildly and slashed at the evil green dragon's head that was roaring and swallowing at him.

Sky-splitting slash.

Compared to the last time, Zhou Ping'an's star bones have now been refined, and the bones and blood throughout his body have undergone a transformation, and his basic strength has increased tenfold.

When he used the Sky-Splitting Slash this time, it was no longer like last time, where he was broken by the Azure Dragon's evil spirit. The aftermath even shook his body like cracked porcelain.

His body just trembled slightly.

The long sword had already cut through the evil spirit of the Azure Dragon, like light and shadow, heavily slashing on the sharp blade of the halberd.

Exactly, use force to defeat force, use strength to defeat strength. The two bodies shook violently at the same time and tilted outwards.

The two horses passed each other.

Boom boom boom...

As swords and spears flashed, they clashed three more times.

Amid the raging wind, heavy air waves rushed in all directions, so much so that Yan Bing and Fang Sheng had no chance to intervene before they were blown away seven or eight feet by the powerful energy.

Watching the two people passing each other, I was unable to attack them for a while.

Chapter 468: Killing Intent

"Break the cavalry formation and destroy their military power."

Zhou Ping'an brandished his sword and shouted loudly, and the two female generals behind him followed. The five thousand cavalrymen also roared at the same time and charged into the eight thousand cavalrymen.

The battle situation immediately became extremely tragic.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the cavalry fell down like seedlings in a rice field in autumn.

People shouted, horses neighed, and weapons swung.

A blood mist rose up and filled the air.

The ground became sticky.

After he had killed his way through the cavalry formation, Zhou Ping'an made a big turn, turned his horse's head, and spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva. Then he looked at his own men again and found that more than a thousand knights were missing.

The opposing side had already turned around and circled, preparing for another battle, and the eight thousand Wolf Riders were now much sparser.

At a rough glance, there were more than three thousand cavalry missing.

Behind him were numerous fallen corpses and wandering ownerless war horses.

Moreover, Zhou Ping'an also discovered that the morale of the approximately 5,000 cavalrymen on the opposite side had dropped significantly after this confrontation, and the formation they ran in was not as neat and uniform as when they had just set out.

Not to mention that the mixed qi, blood and evil spirit was much weaker.

Even though Tianlang General Wu Qi shouted at the top of his lungs and frantically boosted morale, it still didn't save much.

The truth is, with eight thousand against five thousand, the casualties were three to one. This feeling was not just shameful, but suffocatingly desperate.

Not only was there a gap in the quality of the cavalry, but the main generals also did not gain the slightest advantage in the confrontation.

The remaining 5,000 cavalrymen looked at their commander, and saw large patches of blood on the cracked golden armor on his chest. Their hearts sank to the bottom of the sea.

The sea-splitting sword, no, the sky-splitting sword is not so easy to deal with.

Zhou Ping'an was invaded by the evil spirit of the Azure Dragon, his internal organs were damaged and he vomited large mouthfuls of dirty blood.

Wu Qi would naturally not be without harm.

This time, his injuries were much more serious than the last time they fought.

His lungs were cut by a blade of energy that was as ethereal as a shadow, leaving a huge bloody wound. The blade energy went straight out of his back, so that when he caught his breath, he still couldn't help coughing wildly, and his voice became hoarse.

Just by looking at him, one could tell that he was already at a disadvantage.

"How is it possible? My body is stronger than his. With the integration of Gang and Sha, my killing power is even stronger. He doesn't seem to have suffered much damage, but I..."

Wu Qi's eyes became deep.

He totally didn't understand. The other party was not as strong as him physically, and he hadn't even cultivated his true essence, let alone combining the inner energy and the evil energy. That little bit of inner energy couldn't even hurt his skin.

But the strange thing is that when the two sides fought hard, the opponent's strength was astonishingly great.

Especially the magical and round sword technique, it was like mercury leaking on the ground, penetrating every hole and could not be blocked.

"In that case, then you must not hold back."

Wu Qi roared wildly, "Gather the evil spirits!"

Following his shout.

The five thousand riders behind him shook violently at the same time. Countless green air floated in the air like smoke and fog, condensing into a huge figure as big as a hill.

This figure has horns, eyes like copper bells, and his body is covered with dense scales. He is floating in the air, with a heavy pressure locking him down. Just looking at him makes people feel cold.

The huge green figure flashed and turned into green smoke, pouring into Wu Qi's head. It was seen that Tianlang suddenly exploded Wu Qi's armor, turning it into thousands of fragments, shooting in all directions.

He raised his head and shouted.

"kill!"

This time, he turned around and rode over, and the five thousand riders behind him were like evil spirits released from a cage, with bloodshot eyes.

It seems like it has lost some of its spirituality, and also seems to have gained some deadness.

"Gather the evil spirits to refine the corpses, and risk everything on one throw."

Fang Sheng's eyebrows twitched wildly.

"This person is so vicious that he actually uses evil spirit to train his soldiers and unleashes their potential at the critical moment... After this battle, all the cavalry will die."

"Is it strong?"

Zhou Ping'an also frowned secretly.

The 5,000 cavalrymen charging over from the opposite side were nothing to worry about.

Even when he was fully empowered, he was still no match for the thousands of cavalrymen who were blessed by the tiger talisman.

Hedging at this time is just a last-ditch struggle.

On the contrary, because the evil spirit invades the brain and one is less able to respond, one will be defeated faster.

The only thing to worry about was that the aura of the Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi had increased several times. At this moment, his personal strength alone was enough to make it difficult for his own side to breathe.

The evil spirit that seemed to be tangible made people feel a slight tingling in their pores.

Even the two female generals used their luck and true energy to protect their bodies. Before the fight, they had already lost 30% of their combat power.

"It's more than powerful!"

Fang Sheng sighed.

Maybe I learned more knowledge from my master.

I felt a little frustrated at this time.

Before he could continue, a muffled bang was heard from the foot of the mountain in the distance.

There are colorful phantom lights flashing in all directions.

A powerful aura has disappeared.

The golden-red color in the air became brighter and brighter, like the sun patrolling the sky, whistling, and turning into a long sword mark, whistling and slashing out.

A small sword of bright golden color, sharp as a singing bird, rushed left and right, but was trapped by the golden-red sword light that cut horizontally and vertically and covered an area of ​​hundreds of feet.

Blood gushed out of Li Nantian's chest, but he kept shouting and fighting without retreating. It seemed that he was at the end of his strength.

But it was this last bit of power that locked the Golden Spirit tightly, and no matter how he fled, he could not break free from the entanglement.

"Su Pengju raised his hand..."

Watching the ball of colorful phantom light explode and disperse, it collapsed the mountain and left no breath at all.

Several people fell silent at the same time.

Moreover, judging from the appearance, the sword-controlling monk Jin Ling was in a very bad situation as he was surrounded by Li Nantian and Su Pengju.

Now, it seems that the seriously injured Li Nantian will die first.

It was Jin Ling who surrendered early under the siege of the two.

When two people fight against each other, the winner will not be decided so quickly and the fight is likely to last for a long time.

However, this is only under normal circumstances.

They calculated over and over again, but they didn't expect that Su Pengju didn't help Tianlang General Wu Qi to assassinate Zhou Pingan and others. Instead, he secretly ran over and hid to the side to help Li Nantian.

Of course, it would be useless even if they knew.

Su Pengju was originally the most difficult opponent among these people. He was invisible and lurking, and his body movements were strange. It was difficult to detect him when he was not attacking.

By the time they discovered it, it was too late.

Especially with the assistance of Li Nantian, a strong attacker, whoever he targets will die.

According to Zhou Ping'an's judgment, the reason why Su Pengju boldly abandoned Wu Qi to lead the army against the three of his own men was probably because he felt that even if there was only one Tianlang General, as long as he led the army, there would be no possibility of failure.

Just like this moment.

This Heavenly Wolf General was so huge that he didn't look like an ordinary human.

The green-maned horse under his crotch had been abandoned by him.

It was a huge figure three meters tall, with bare arms, and the green dragon patterns on its body seemed to come alive and move around.

He brandished his halberd, took big strides, and ran even faster than a galloping horse.

The air in front of him solidified into substance, and when he raised his arm, it exploded into thousands of turbulent currents.

"To die."

The five thousand evil cavalry behind him charged forward madly.

The Sirius General, who was the spearhead, shook his halberd, stirring up a tremendous wave of energy, howling winds, and filling the air with murderous aura.

I saw the green halberd, just raised it to the sky, and then swung it downwards, and the void in front of me seemed to be cut in half.

Before the halberd's wind arrived, Yan Bing could no longer control his horse's retreating pace.

Looking at Fang Sheng again, he was carrying the little girl Shen Bi on his back and had been blown back five or six feet by the strong wind.

"When the power reaches its peak, the divine will becomes a sharp blade, the air becomes turbid waves, the void becomes a cage, and the flesh and blood turns into powder..."

This is what Lin Huaiyu said when she was reciting the "Martial Classic" to herself that day.

At that time, their cultivation was still low, and they read the martial arts and Taoist scriptures just for fun, treating them as legends.

Now thinking back to that time, I see the scene before me.

Zhou Ping'an gained a deeper understanding of power, evil spirit and divine will.

It was obvious that Wu Qi was going mad, gathering all his strength into a demon, and his murderous aura was rising into the sky.

But he didn't retreat a single step.

Not wanting to hurt the black horse under his crotch, he suddenly leaped up and charged towards the huge waves of murderous energy and the long spear that was whistling through the wind.

Step on the ground, bend over, raise your arm, draw your knife...

In the misty green air, Yan Bing and Fang Sheng opened their eyes wide and seemed to see a giant blood-red lotus suddenly blooming in the ups and downs of the figure rushing forward.

"call out……"

There seemed to be a flash of a knife passing through the air.

It seems like an illusion...

Two figures passed each other.

Twenty feet apart.

Zhou Ping'an still raised his knife toward the sky, but his body paused.

The shiny armor on his body was cracked inch by inch, and blood was oozing out from his skin, flowing into a stream.

Behind him, the Heavenly Wolf General Wu Qi, who had his back to him, swayed a bit, took a step forward, and suddenly, blood gushed out of his body.

His huge body, about ten feet in length, suddenly split into two, from the left shoulder to the right hip.

With a crash, it fell to both sides.

"kill!"

Yan Bing's eyes suddenly burst into amazing light, and she let out a delicate cry, her voice piercing the sky, and she galloped forward on her horse.

She sensed that although blood was gushing out of Zhou Ping'an's pores, his aura was still strong and his mind was still firm.

The whole person was like an indestructible long sword, standing in front, as if ready to cut everything.

"kill!"

Fang Sheng almost jumped off his horse with joy.

He also squeezed the horse's belly tightly, swung his sword, and charged forward.

The four thousand cavalrymen behind him followed closely like a tide.
