Chapter 124: You can kill people even without a gun tip!
After the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation was restored, it gradually spread among the people.

When Chen Sanshi had nothing to do, he had studied it with Xu Wencai and had already mastered it by heart. However, he just didn't have enough soldiers and horses to deploy it.

In actual combat, there is no such thing as a "gate of life". The gate of life will be protected by heavy troops and will become a real gate of death. The entire formation cannot be broken at all, unless brute force is relied upon to destroy the formation and cause it to collapse on its own.

But since it is an exercise and requires a race, there will definitely be escape hatches. What is tested is the commander's understanding of the military formation and his personal ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

As soon as he entered the battlefield, countless axes, halberds, hooks and forks attacked from all directions, basically all aimed at the warhorse under his crotch.

In the current situation, losing the warhorse is tantamount to breaking both legs. Soon, he will be surrounded by heavy troops and will never be able to escape.

However, the soldiers in the Bagua Formation had no intention of killing. It would be best to capture him alive, otherwise they could just delay time.

One stick of incense, which is about half an hour, is enough to break through the formation of 40,000 people. It is hard to say how long it will take just by walking, not to mention that these soldiers are the elite of the eight camps. Even if all the generals above the level of Lian Zang are picked out, the highest level left is only Lian Gu. It is an impossible task to break in by force. The only way is to find a way to survive.

"Northwest Qian Palace, the five elements belong to gold, open the door."

Chen Sanshi continued to block the weapons attacking from all directions, while quickly determining his own position in the sea of ​​people, and soon found the only way to survive.

On his left hand side is one of the three most dangerous gates, the Injury Gate. It seems that the military force is weak, but once you break in, you will be immediately held back and unable to leave. On his right hand side is the Shock Gate, which is a combination of the real and the fake, and there may be a Death Gate hidden behind it.

The only "lucky gate" within sight was the Xiu Gate, which was blocked by an eight-foot-high black iron shield, making it look as solid as a rock.

Fraud!

"drive!"

Chen Sanshi roared, and the unsharpened spear in his hand smashed down like a siege hammer, and actually directly blew away the shield and the heavily armored soldier holding the shield. Under the heavy siege, a big door was opened, and both the man and the horse were like fish into the ocean. There was no longer any obstruction, and they rushed forward unimpeded.

"it is good!"

On top of the city wall.

The officials looked at the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation on the ground from a God's perspective and applauded.

"Master Chen is amazing!"

General Zhao praised from the bottom of his heart: "So far, he is the one who found the direction of the escape route the fastest. Even Jie Sishu, who has the body of an innate martial saint, found the right way only after suffering several great losses, resulting in him only being ranked B in the end."

Eunuch Hou was also full of admiration: "After General Fang cracked the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation, even our family took three years to figure it out. Sir Chen has only been in the army for a short time, and his martial arts attainments are close to those of the geniuses in the capital, and he also has such strong strength in the art of war."

"Yeah, it's OK."

Sun Xiangzong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, returned to his seat and drank tea while watching.

"It's pretty good."

Meng Guangxin stretched his neck and said, "Old Fourth, what kind of formation did you come up with? In my eyes, it's just like a circle spinning back and forth. This kid is really good. He broke it in one go."

"Otherwise, how do you think you managed to defeat 6,000 barbarians with only a thousand remnants?"

Fang Qingyun was not surprised at all: "Then he led more than a thousand remnants of soldiers to escort tens of thousands of civilians across the river. It is absolutely impossible to rely on brute force alone. It also requires the understanding and flexible application of military tactics."

"I also know the art of war."

Meng Guangxin touched his bald head and said, "It's not as complicated as you said. If you can beat him, then fight. If you can't, then run away!"

"The first A-level in the formation level, no need to look at it."

Sun Buqi even directly declared victory.

Apart from the chief examiner, invigilators and officials, the female onlookers who didn't understand what was going on could see that only this young general was not trapped after entering the battle formation.

"Sun Li, this is the Chen Sanshi you were talking about, right?"

Several daughters of high-ranking officials sat behind the curtain, watching with great interest.

Sun Li was also among them.

She did not wear tight clothes suitable for fighting today. Instead, she wore a white gauze stand-up collar jacket with a light pink lining. Her lower body was a Confucius style flower and bird skirt. With her hair tied up in a bun, even the heroic spirit between her eyebrows was diluted a lot.

"Ah."

Sun Li replied calmly: "It's him."

"It's pretty impressive, but I heard that you don't have enough qualifications."

My girlfriend said, "This time, the winner will only be one of Cao Fan, Yan Changqing, and Lu Shuhua. Hey, speaking of this, Sun Li, has your father ever considered marrying you into the royal family?"

Although they are girls, they are from a family of high-ranking officials after all. They are influenced by the court situation on a daily basis and know something about it.

In the eyes of these people, the Sun family is too powerful, and the best way to safely fall from power is to become a member of the royal family.

"No."

Sun Li replied calmly.

There really isn't.

Not only did she not have that, her father had never had similar ideas either, and he would not intermarry for generations like other high-ranking officials' families.

Moreover, the Sun family's situation is special, and it is impossible to solve the problem simply by marriage.

This is not something she should worry about.

The only thing she could do was to practice sword skills well and try to become stronger.

"I'm going back."

Thinking of this, Sun Li couldn't sit still anymore, so he stood up and wanted to leave.

Just then, a cry of surprise came from the front.

"Why is the general's weapon broken?"

"..."

The people watching the battle on the city wall obviously did not expect the sudden situation before them.

The young general in the heavy formation saw his spear break after blasting through several shields in a row, leaving only a wooden pole without the spear tip.

……

"His gun is broken, don't give him a chance to take the weapon!"

"..."

In the battle formation, soldiers from the eight camps passed signals to each other.

"Did Cao Fan do anything?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the broken end and was mentally prepared. He felt that it might not be over yet and there might be other obstacles. Otherwise, the impact would not be that great.

Any spear technique, if you remove the spear tip, becomes a stick technique. If there is no stick at all, it is a fist technique. This is why the spear is the king of all weapons and is difficult to learn and master.

He originally wanted to try to grab a spear, but the soldiers of the eight camps were well prepared and retreated one after another, leaving him no chance to succeed in a short period of time. If he stopped specifically to grab the weapon, even if it was only a delay of three or five seconds, he would be caught up by the pursuers.

The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation is not a static formation; it can change. This is the real power of this formation.

The road you walked on in the previous second will become a dead end in the next second.

Having come here, as long as he can break through the "Du Men" in front, he will be able to reach the Sheng Men unimpeded and pass this level completely. At present, most of the sandalwood has been burned, and he can't waste time here.

After all, there were no warriors above the Refining Zang level in the entire formation, and the soldiers only attacked horses and not people, without any killing intention, which almost meant that it was impossible for anyone to stop him. To him, it was just a maze made up of human walls, and a maze without any difficulty at all.

"drive!"

Chen Sanshi ignored them and rushed into the battle formation at the Dumen position in front of him, which was composed of long-sword cavalry.

"boom--"

The long stick in his hand seemed to be integrated with his body. It was obviously made of wood, but it felt like steel. No matter where it swept, people and horses would fall down, and the blades didn't even have a chance to fight back.

The last wave!
"Om-"

Just as Chen Sanshi rushed towards the last wave of people with caution, an accident happened as expected.

Several cavalrymen armed with long swords rushed out from both sides and began to try their best to prevent him from crossing the last line of defense.

Du Men is a minor ominous sign, but also a medium ominous sign.

It's normal to have some difficulty.

What made Chen Sanshi feel something was wrong was that there was an internal organ refinement hidden inside!

It was agreed that the highest level in the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation was to train the bones, but why is there also training of the internal organs? Moreover, these people have murderous intent, they are not here to capture people alive!

Not only did they attack the horse under his crotch, but they also made sneak attacks on his throat, heart and other vital parts.

"boom!"

Chen Sanshi swung his stick down again, smashing a cavalryman so hard that his helmet and body were rotten to pieces. He warned, "Lianzang, you broke the rules, didn't you?"

"Bullshit! I'm training my bones!"

A one-eyed general said this as he swung the long sword in his hand, leaving an afterimage.

At least, there are four people who have achieved minor success in organ refining!

Moreover, they were very cunning. They did not use the explosive speed unique to refining internal organs, but only used strong qi and blood. In this way, the examiners on the city wall could not see any clues with their naked eyes for a while.

Only those who have actually fought each other can immediately realize that something is wrong.

Moreover, there are many high-level warriors in the Eight Camps, and Lian Zang Xiao Chengdu may not be able to become a thousand-man commander. The examiners on the city wall are of too high a status, and not everyone has a photographic memory. They probably don't even know them. This is an extremely insidious method. Even if he can't kill him, he can delay a lot of time, allowing the cavalry behind to catch up and surround him. At worst, he will end up being eliminated.

He clearly looked down on him for being proficient in the internal energy training technique, yet he still set up obstacles for him. He truly despised the enemy strategically but took the enemy seriously tactically. He was quite a talented general.

pity……

Even the minor master of refining internal organs couldn’t stop him!

Besides, he wasn't going to leave.

"When you break through the formation, the original intention is not to kill our own people, but since you broke the rules, you are naturally not considered our own people."

Chen Sanshi's face showed no emotion, and his tone was as calm as a pool of stagnant water: "I'll give you two choices, either you take the initiative to confess your guilt, or you die here."

"What evidence do you have that we broke the rules?"

The one-eyed general grinned.

They will replace the original people before the next assessment begins, without anyone noticing.

"As for death." The one-eyed general said contemptuously: "Everyone's realm is about the same. You don't even have the tip of your spear, who can you kill?"

"Who says you can't kill people without a gun tip?"

"Pfft-"

As soon as the words fell, a spear with only the wooden shaft left pierced through the one-eyed general's throat. The speed was so fast that no one could see clearly when the spear, no, it should be said that the wooden shaft was stabbed out.

"Why don't you hurry up and show your strength of minor achievements in refining the internal organs? Maybe you can catch your breath a little longer."

"Pfft-"

Another general of the Zang-refining Sect had his throat stabbed.

The remaining two Lian Zang were so shocked that they dared not hold back. They burst out with the speed that a Lian Zang could have and slashed at each other, attacking from both sides. However, they soon found that even if they tried their best, they were no match for the opponent.

The spear in Chen Sanshi's hand had no tip, only bright red and sticky blood. In the eyes of the two Zang-refining generals, it looked like a mad, bloody giant python, which was frightening.

The unified shooting technique is unstoppable!
The two men wanted to escape again, but they had no chance. Their throats were bitten through by the bloody python one after another and they fell off their horses, their hearts stopping in a pool of blood.

After the leader died, the rest of the subordinates fled in panic, but were surrounded by the soldiers of the eight battalions who had seen the whole process. They had no way to escape and were left to Chen Sanshi to start a massacre!

"General, if they really break the rules, they should be killed!"

"We just need to leave one person alive so we can find out what happened later."

……

"Why is he killing so many people?!"

On top of the city wall.

Governor Liu looked at the bloody scene in front of him and said, "Those people obviously couldn't stop him, why didn't they just rush out of the battle formation and end his assessment? Why did they have to stay and kill people?"

"Are you pretending to be confused or are you really confused?"

Eunuch Hou said coldly: "Didn't you see that the strength those people showed before they died was all from refining internal organs? Who is so bold as to tamper with the selection of forwards? This is simply outrageous!"

“It’s really dirty!”

Even Sun Buqi saw it and sneaked in to refine the internal organs: "Fourth Senior Brother, what's going on?"

"You have good marksmanship."

Sun Xiangzong's face remained calm, but the sound made everyone present breathless, as if someone was choking their throats.

"I am really useless now. You are starting to bully me because I am deaf and blind."

"Old Five, go down and find out who did it, and then bring them all here."
